A New Saratoga Con ference.

There is to be another republican confer
ence ut Saratoga tomorrow. but it will diff
fer from that of last week in being gath
ering of friends Of Mr.. Conkling, instead Of
supporters of Mr.. Hayes. We do not know
by whose breach OF confidence the fact of
this consultation, which was intended to be
secret, has leaked out. Mr.. A. b. Cornell
the gentleman who mutinied last year
against the Presidents civil service order,
and whose case led to the inhaminatory con-
test in the Republican State Convention
last year, has written confidential
letter of invitation to number of
Conkling republicans, asking their attend
ance at Saratoga to join in o conference at
which the wisest course Of action may be
agreed upon for securing republican success
in the preaching election of members Of
Congress- and the Legislature. This con-
sultation is the natural sequence of the one
held by the Hayes republicans last week.
We do not suppose that its object is to de-
termine whether State Convention shall
be held, since it was given out by Mr..
Conkling's friends last week that that is a
decided question. The probable purpose
of to-morrow's conference is to de-
liberate on plan of operations for running
the Convention and circumventing Mr.
Conkling's opponents. The practical ques-
ton lies between a fight and attempts at
cancellation. We have no doubt that there
will be fight. There is too much passion
and exasperation on both sides for har-
monious convention. The only open ques-
ton ia n question of tactics. Each faction
will try to fasten tho responsibility of the
inevitable quarrel upon the other. The
only thing to quarrel over is the platform,
since there are no political candidates to be
nominated. The condition of the party is
such that IL is impossible to frame plat
form which can be adopted without q
fierce and bitter contention. II Mr..
Hayes and his administration were
the only difficult subject the situation
might be straddled, as 1t has been in sew
eral States, by the easy device of saying
nothing. and promoting harmony by 81
lence But although Mr.. Hayes might be
ignored in the platform Mr.. Conkling can
not. With the Senatorial election so close
at hand o republican State convention
which should fail to indorse him would de.
molish his chances o. reelection. But q
resolution indorsing him would be vehe.
mently opposed by all tho. Hayes dele.

The Twenty-thsrd Street Lake. -
It may be comfort to residents near the
intersection of Twenty-third street and
First avenue that the lake in the street,
which was twenty feet square on Monday
measured yesterday six inches less each
way; but they have not the street cleaning
authorities to 'thank for the diminution.
The sun did the business. Such of the
water as evaporated carried the seeds of
disease into many a house, while
that which remained grew fouler
under the influence of solar heat, and
will daily arise, with increased power for
evil, under the same influence. A very
few dollars worth Of labor would Danish
this plague spot entirely. Why is not the
necessary work done? Are shovels and
brooms the only tools with which streets
can be cleaned? There is no better medium
to take up and spread the germs of pesti-
lence than the water which is allowed to
collect and stagnate in such places. Will
the Commission note that this ancient lake
is near the intersection Of Twenty-third
street and First avenue?

BONNER and reform.
sIr. Bonner for Mayor.

We reproduce from the Star, one of Mr..
Kelly's "two papers, both daily" very
cordial article indorsing Mr.. Bonner's emil
nent fitness for the Office Of Mayor. "We
believe" says the Star 'that Mr.. Bonner
possesses the executive faculty in very
eminent degree, and, since Mr.. Dana has
seen tit peremptorily to withdraw from the
canvass, our contemporaries have displayed
their characteristic sagacity in agreeing to
rally round the able and upright editor of
the Ledger. The Star promises that it twill
not be backward in alluring the
eagles of victory to perch upon
the Bonner standard" if the demo-
cratic party of the city should adopt
so admirable candidate. We are charmed
to see one of Mr.. Kelly's dailies come out
so frankly for the Sun and HEnALp's choice.
We trust he will instruct his other daily to
fall into line. Five of our city journals are
already committed to Mr.. Bonner-namely,
the Post, Mail, San, Star and HERALD. The
Times, Tribune, World and, last but not
least the Commercial Advertiser, are still to
be heard from, but we feel certain that if
they should not support they at least will
not oppose the election of so excellent a
candidate as Mr.. Bonner.

General Bnd~nu,s Denial.

General Adam Badeau. American Consul
General at London, sends Us q cable mes
sage denying that he is the author Of the
interesting letter printed by the HERALD a
few weeks since reporting several CONVERSE
tions with ex-President Grant He states
that he has not written line for print about
General Grant since the arrival OF the Inter
in Europe, except the letter with his sigma
ture published in the HERALD of May "a.
We make the correction with the same
promptness and pleasure with which
we always do an act of justice. The
HERALD did not originate the statement
which General Badeau denies. We
merely republished without comment
an article in the Sun containing it.
Our alert and enterprising contemporary
had q cable message asserting the author
ship Of General Badcau, and as that curi-
Gus piece Of news had not reached us from
our own sources we reprinted il from the
Sun We did not understand, nor do we
yet, why our shining contemporary took SO
lively An interest in our Hamburg letter as
to incur unwonted expense in making O
European search for its origin and causing
the result of its inquiries to be cabled. Tc
besure, the whole American press bestowed
great attention on the letter, but, with the
exception of the Sun, they only reproduced
it and discussed its contents without ex.
ploring Europe to ascertain its authorship.
We are sorry that the enterprise of our con.
temporary, was misdirected, bat We must
regard General Badeau as better authority
as to whathe did or did not write than thu
cable dispatches Of the Sun.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1878-08-28
WITH Mr.. BONNER to keep the city ledger
it is very certain the books would balance at
the end of the year.

Results OF the Hsrald'x Exposures.
We are CHAD to be able to inform oui
readers that the street cleaning authorities,
learning from the HERALD where the dirty
streets are, have made an effort to clean
some Of them, and to remove some dead
animals to resting places more appropriate
than the pavements in front Of resi-
dences. 1t may seem strange that
the information we have given could
not have been obtained from the police,
as the personnel of the Commission
constitutes three-fourths Of the Police
Board, and the former is practically SUBJ
committee of the latter. It is also strange
that the Commission should not have as.
sumed that whatever streets contained most
residents would supply the greatest guam.
tity of garbage for removal, and disposed
their working force accordingly. AS. how
ever, the Commission seems unable to make
proper use of it's own facilities and senses
those of the HERALD will be placed daily
at its disposal until the condition Of all
the streets is described and. the work OF
cleaning is done in the thorough manner
which the public health demands and the
appropriation justifes. The Commissioners
seem, by their instructions to police cap.
tains yesterday, to have formed some good
resolutions, which we hope may be bene-
fetal to our streets instead Of to certain
popular roadway that is said to be paved
with such material. siava So

In another column will DO found some
exceedingly instructive statistics of yellow
fever seasons at New Orleans sent us by
correspondent resident in that city. One fact
shown in these statements and especially
worthy of note just now Is that the losses
for this year arc small by comparison with
those for years that the people of New
Orleans regard as bad one. August % of
this year. for instance, is the worst day SO
far-the day against which is recorded the
greatest number of deaths. This number
is ffty-eight. But against the same day in
the year 1863 are recorded two hundred and
ffty-four deaths, or more than four times
as many. Another fact worthy of notice as
to this particular date is the apparent
law that from that date onward In the
we'll marked years the number of
deaths regularly diminishes. At that
date or by day very near to II the fever
seems to have reached always it's maximum Of
virulence and loses force with each success
sivc day thereafter. Consequently IL Is
safely on the downward scale now, though
undoubtedly continued rains would have q
bad influence as to this rule. Our cor
respondent believes that the streets of New
Orleans are as clean now as they ever are in
times when tho fever does not occur. and
that their condition is therefore not q factor
in the production of the trouble and fur
thermore points out that the disease Is the
