The Hack Reb

Tho backbone of the negro rebellion in
Santa Cruz seems to nave been broken. Ac-
cording to our special cable dispatches from
st. Thomas this morning the insurrection is
nearing its end, and the rebels are fleeing
before the Danish soldiers and the volun-
teers A large number of the insurgents
have been captured, and many. we are told,
have been killed. Timely and valuable
assistance appears to have been rendered by
English and French men-of-war in the way
Of protecting the towns. The origin Of
the insurrection is not very clearly stated,
but it seems to have arisen out of disa-
greement between tho planters and their
laborers. This will serve to account, in a
measure, for the assassination of white citi-
zens that was mentioned in our dispatches
some days ago, and for the burning OF the
plantations and of large portion of the
town of Frederikstadt which is announced
this morning. The blacks were doubtless
led into their desperate course by the dem
agogues among them, who, we may be GER
tain. will be punished as they deserve.

mr.. J. i. T.. d. Foley.

It is difficult to tell how our city politics
would get on without Mr.. j. I. L. B. Foley.
The city depends on him to make its dull
and dreary political wrangles little anus
ing, and fortunately he never fails US. He
is absolutely certain to turn up at some
time in the canvass, and his appearance in
variably dispels the gloom and creates
burst Of laughter. The busy, fussy, good
natured little man does not mean to be
amusing, but he cannot help himself. He
always jumps out, as he did on Saturday
bang, which has led '.the boys" to speak
of him as Jack-In-The-Box Foley, and for
moment or two the ferocious and solemn
little visage popping suddenly out of the
box startles people with weak nerves Or
who are thinking of something else. But
almost before anybody has got good look
at him somebody slaps heavy fist on the
lid Of the box and down goes Mr.. j. /. T.
b. Foley again.
His last appearance was especially de-
lightful to rs. 1t was more effective, be-
wildering and amusing than any previous
appearance of his that we now remember.
His little resolution Of thanks to the HERALD
was admirable, and the HERALD thanks him,
and hereby promises him constant en-
couragcment in his amiable efforts to Tighten
our city politics His long list OF can
didates for tho Mayoralty is ono Of his
funniest efforts. II he had had moro time
we have no doubt the list would have been
longer. And then he achieved his usual
success in puzzling the public as to his pur-
poses-so called. Some people thought the
Foley apparition intended to help Mr.. Kelly
nominate Mr. Augustus Schell, commonly
and affectionately known to ''the boys" as
Gus" Other people contendcd that Mr..
Foley meant to coerce Mr.. Kelly into nomi-
mating somebody-anybody almost any
body, we rnean--rather than "Gus." We
have no doubt that Mr.. Foley had definite,
well matured, decided and conclusive policy
with him, but before he could get it out of
tho little box down came somebody's heavy
fist on the lid, and pop! the excellent little
man disappeared from the gaze of the half
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and his secret was
shut down with him in the box.
This is censorious world, and there are
people, we regret to notice, who pretend to
believe that Mr. Foley is the last and only
survivor OF the three famous tailors of ooloy
street, who once upon time earned we'll
deserved glory by a patriotic attempt to re-
form the constitution of Great Britain. We
have our doubts about tho truth of this re-
port. Mr.. Foley, in the first place, does not
look like a tailor--like one tailor, wo mean !;
he much more accurately resembles three
tailors rolled into one. We think it not un-
likely that ho combines, in tact, the three
famous tailors Of Toolcys street in his own
proper and portly little person; and if this
should turn out to be the truth about him we
should only the more heartily congratulate
the city upon possessing him. There is an old
story OF big English NAVY, who suffered
his wife to beat him on the ground that 1T
amuses she and don't hurt l." and on simi-
lar principles New York defends Foley. He

stood patriotically ready to give him an
independent support for good measures; he
has not reformed the civil service, but on
the contrary, has brought that promised
and needed reform into such discredit as it
is not likely to recover from for many years.
he has imperilled the most vital interests of
the country, and, by his indecision. given
new lease of life to tho most mischievous
and dangerous political heresies.

THE WEATHER.-The depression has moved
eastward very rapidly since Sunday. It is now
over the lake regions, and its influence extends
far into the central valley districts and the Mid
die Atlantic States. Another and larger depres-
sion has made its appearance in the Western dis
tricts, and to judge from the present indications
1t is likely to take more southerly course than
the one over the lakes The high pressure con-
tnucs on the Middle Atlantic and New England
coast, but it is rcccding into the ocean gradu-
ally. The pressure is relatively high, but fall

Rain has fallen only in the northern lake regions.
the Missouri Valley and on the Middle Atlantic
coast. Cloudy weather prevails in all the dis
tricts except the southern portion of the central
valley districts and the South Atlantic and Gulf
roasts. A general rise in temperatures has taken
place, except In the Northwest, where they have
been variable. The winds are from fresh TO
brisk in the West, fresh over the lake regions
and the Middle Atlantic and New England
coasts, and light Ia the Gulf districts. II IL very
probable that when the depression that is now
IN the West shall have moved to the lower lake
regions the gradients will become very stcep.
particularly over the New England and the
northern section Of the Middle Atlantic coast
districts, so that brisk winds may be expected in
those sections during the week. 1t is also prob
able that the two depressons may consolidate
before. they reach districts, in which case a
storm centre will very likely be developed. The
weather in New York and its vicinity to-day will
be slightly warmer aud partly cloudy To-mor-

as Campanini, Foil. Frapolli, Thierry, Del
Puente and Galassi that the opera 'Car-
men" will be produced for the first time in
this country; that Arditi will conduct the
orchestra that an excellent ballet troupe
will form part of the company; that all the
singers are in good voice, and that the
season will constitute a revival OF the
best days of Italian opera in New York.
The occurrence Of great revival in morals
or great revolution in politics would be
no more interesting and important to moral
lists or politicians than is the approaching
event to that class Of our citizens which
makes up the opera-going public.
The selection of season is opportune in
more ways than one, and particularly in
happening just as Theodore Thomas is
porary the Times says:-'It is fair to sup
pose that the numerous and wealthy clientele
which waited on Mr.. Thomas will be eager to
transfer their allegiance to the Italian opera
in case the latter meets with their approval" I"
There is no doubt Of the willingness and
even eagerness of the musical public to
give its approval if the event justifes it.
The whole matter, for success or failure,
seems now tb rest with Mr.. Mapleson and
his artists. The public is eager, the news
papers favorable, the critics well disposed,
the stockholders have subscribed literally
and the season seems in every way pro-
pitious.

n6S1str0tlOu ana the "Om Year."
The registration of voters for the election
of November 5 commences to-day, and a
prompt attention to that preliminary duty
is advisable. There are four days for reg
istering, but no one can tell what his en-
gagements or condition may be on future
day. and every citizen should avail himself
of the first opportunity to complete his
qualification as an elector. The politicians
in their calculations are accustomed to
count on q light registration OF what is
known as an ''off year"-that is to say, a
year in which there is no Gubernatorial or
Presidential candidate. Unfortunately
they are generally found to be correct.
Yet no election is Of such vital importance
to the people of New York as one which d~-
cides to whose hands the government of
their city shall be conided. The city tax
levy this year is over thirty million
dollars, out of which large sum less than
four million dollars is tor State taxes and
the support of common schools. The in
terest Of the people of the city of New York
in their local government is, therefore,
represented by nearly twenty-seven million
dollars Of taxation, while their interest in
the State government is represented by less
than four millions. There is every reason,
therefore, why our citizens should take q
far more active part in an election for Mayor
than in an election for Governor, and why
there should be q full and complete regis
tration this year. It is to be hoped that to-
days registry lists will prove that the peo-
pie appreciate these facts and are prepared
to bring out their entire forces next month
to fight the battle of good municipal gov
ernment, although it is what the politicians
call an ssoff year."
