getting themselves into harness. The old
people in the churches, who are rarely re-
membered, will have special attention paid
to them to-day by Mr.. Davis, who will
direct their minds toward the sunset of
life; the folly of infdelity will be con-
trasted with the wisdom of Christianity by
Mr.. Searles; women and wine will be dis
cussed by Mr.. Affleck the supremacy of
Christ will be insisted on by Mr.. Burch,
and Gods revelation Of Himself in the
beautiful will be presented by DIR. Abbott
The reasons why some persons stay
away from and 90 out of the Church
will be pointed out by Mr. W..

sorrow so MS to get good out OF
them is o question that engrosses many q

The Di.graceful Streets.

The squirt made by the Street Cleaning
Bureau seems to have been of brief dura-
ton. The observations of our reporters
show that the streets are returning to their
former filthy condition, the Nineteenth
ward being now dirtier than when first
examined by them. We trust this is
only temporary lapse. If it continues we
shall make the details and the causes known
to our readers as infinitely as possible.
The slight improvement noticed by the
HERALD few days ago, like the feeble light
of Milton, which ''served only to make
darkness visible, rendered the disreputable
condition Of the pavements only more con-
spicuous. That city of nearly million
inhabitants city which spends hundreds
of thousands OF dollars annually upon its
theatres and operas and balls q city which
gives ten thousand dollars day in charity
to the yellow fever charity fund a city
which claims to be advanced in civilization
and in polite knowledge, should permit the
gaze of foreigners first landing in this coun-
try to fall upon such spectacle as the ruts
and cobbles and mud-pits of West street
and the waterside thoroughfares is almost
incredible. Paris is absolutely we'll paved
and thoroughly clean. London, though it
is largely laid with wood, is everywhere
smoothly and solidly paved. Liverpool,
Manchester, Birmingham, Havre, Dieppe,
Marseilles, or any European town of o
second or third rank, presents a marked
contrast to the filthy and ill-laid pavements
of New York. 1t is odd that q city which
is the equal of London or Paris in respect
of public spirit and business enterprise,
and the superior of both in conceit, should
in SO important a matter be content to rank
with the villages of Turkey or Bulgaria.

Excise Exercised.

Judge Dittenhoefer's discovery of the
weak point in the Excise law has already
resulted in the reindictment of that gentle
mans client, and also in great amount of
delight on the part of the five hundred
other liquor sellers who have been trem-
bling in anticipation of punishment under
law to which they had looked for protec-
ton There will undoubtedly be an early
attempt made to frame law without holes
big enough for the whole body of city
liquor sellers to jump through when
they feel SO disposed; but it is
to be hoped that such law
will be explicit enough to show
the dealers where they really stand, instead
of compelling them first to pay for the
privilege of selling and then denying them
the right they have paid for. Our reports
of interviews with well known dispensers
of alcoholic stimulants show that there is
no trade feeling against comprehensive
Excise law. 1t would be well, therefore,
for the temperance people to take counsel
with the dealers before a new law is voted
upon, and secure an enactment which may
at least avoid being a laughing stock for
everybody and a letter-down of the public
respect for laws in general

An owner Found for Our Harbor
ChamneI

At last somebody has been found who
will take legal steps to prevent the dump
ing of refuse from this city into the chan
nels leading from the harbor to the ocean.
The channels are within national limits,
and consequently under government protec-
ton. The law officers of the Treasury De-
partm ent hold that deposits of garbage,
street sweepings, &C., are Of the nature
of distractions to navigation, so
the Commissioners of Pilots or the
United States District Attorney will
at once apply to the proper court for
an injunction restraining contractors from
dumping their scows in the channels or any
other waters within the lines of national
jurisdiction. A special law on the subject
is also foreshadowed. This action has been
taken none too soon for, between channels
not over deep, an immense amount Of gar
bage TO be removed and the Willingness of
contractors to save time and steam, the con-
tinued suiiciency of our methods of APP
proach from tho sea has been seriously en-
dangered.

us for the necessaries of life for it is not
alone the fact that we find ourselves able to
compete with the experienced and carefully
trained artisans of the Old World at the
present time that is brought home to US,
but the certainty that in the future our
natural advantages must push us ahead
of all competitors in the struggle for
supremacy. We have resources in our
mineral wealth. in our facilities of transport
tation in the juxtaposition of our exhaust
less coal and iron, in the vast area of coun-
try capable OF supplying food for increasing
millions, which no other nation on the
earth possesses in an equal degree. Our
free institutions advance the American me-
chanic in intelligence and self-respect, and
in the end must make him the superior OF
the mechanics of Europe. The argument
that in the old country wages are
so much lower than in America that the
latter can never sell manufactured goods as
cheaply as they can be sold in Europe is
fallacious; for when business revives and
manufactures grow to an enormous extent in
the United States, as they will, the skilled
tide of immigration. and when mechanics
are scarce in Europe wages must of reces-
sity rise. This is hopeful picture, it
is true, but it is one which we believe
faithfully represents the future in store
for the United States as a manufac-
turing IS we'll as an agricultural nation.
From June, 1872, TO June, 1878, our i'm
ports exceeded our exports by one hundred
and twenty million dollars. Five years
thereatter--from June, 1877, to June, 1875
our exports exceeded orr imports by two
hundred and fifty-eight million dollars.
With such o practical lesson before our
eyes, and with the marked success of our
exhibitors in contest with all Europe to
back it, We think the American people have
right to look to the future with encour-
agement and bright anticipations

The readers of the HERALD have frequent
occasion to admire the promptness and
thoroughness of the correspondents who
supply some portions of the news, but they
little imagine the perils which are endured
by these men. When the yellow fever broke
out in New Orleans the HERALDs regular
correspondent at that city was on his way
North, but hearing of the calamity that had
befallen his district he made haste to secure
a substitute by telegraph, and then hurried
back to his post The substitute took the
fever and died, and second substitute,
while fortunately escaping the malady
himself, has his entire family suffering
from it. At vicksburg the HERALD's CORE
spondent disappeared during the early days
of the fever. and is believed to be among the
dead. The gentleman who volunteered to
tako his place was also Frustrated by the
fever, but in spite Of his illness saw to it
that substitute was secured to inform
our readers of the progress of the scourge.
When the fever smote Grenada our special
correspondent at st. Louis volunteered to
go to that point; the mental and physical
strain occasioned by the obtaining of news,
and travel to points from which to send the
same. compelled him to return to st. Louis
severely i'll; but before leaving Grenada he
arranged with local physician to keep the
HEnALD's readers informed about the ILL
fated city. Yesterday this physician
pluckily telegraphed us that there were
five new cases, among whom was him
self; but he, too, secured a substitute before
taking to his bed: Our Memphis corre-
spondent was struck down by the fever
yesterday. The courage and fidelity Of
the HERALD's correspondents are equalled
only by that of the telegraph operators.
''Bill" Redding, as he was Familiarity called,
the telegraph operator at Grenada, and also
O correspondent Of the HERALD, died at his
post, as several others have done. The hard
ships and dangers which all these brave
fellows have endured in fulfilling their
duty can never be imagined by those who
have read the dispatches, SO closely re-
stricted to matters of general interest and
so silent upon the experiences ofthe senders.
Assured as we are of the services of such
men our readers may depend upon learn
ing acc urately every day Of the condition of
the Southern cities, no matter what may be
the perils to which the correspondents
themselves are subjected.

The WOrktngmen OF the metropolis.
The workingmen of this city have, during

their good sense and Of their peaceable and
law abiding character. 1t has become the
fashion with the smaller cities Of the coun-

dangerous and inhammable material, but the
record does not by any means justify the
imputation. year ago. while many Of
our sister communities in Pennsylvania,
Maryland aud other States were the scenes
of disorder and bloodshed, the working
men Of the metropolis won IN enviablc
reputation as law abiding citizens.
Their behavior during the city railrond
strikes that have just closed has given them
an additional claim upon the admiration
of their fellow citizens. Tens and tens of
thousands of persons were put to the
most serious inconvenience, travel was
interrupted and dangerous appeals made
by unprincipled demagogues, but there
was no disturbance worth the name.
The workingmen attended to their own
business and did not evince even the faint
est sign of an intention to place themselves
beyond the pale of the law. Then Kearney
came with his coarse vituperation and in
cendiarism, but they simply laughed at
him. The workingmen of this city have as
