Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer sailed
for Europe yesterday on the Russia. The
recent fraternal visit paid by the Lieutenant
Governor to Justus Schwab in the latter's
lager beer cellar, the reticence observed in
relation to the object of the consultation
and the mysterious hints thrown out by the
ConAnunistic leader have given rise to some
singular rumors as to the object OF Mr..
Dorsheimer's journey. The cutious are
inquiring whether he goes as an emissary
of the Schwabs on this side Of the Atlantic
to the Schwabs on the other side, orwhether
there is truth in the assertion that he
has been retained by the party here to dc.
fend Nobiling in his trial. We sincerely
trust that these stories will not interfere
with the enjoyment Of our refined and
elegant Lieutenant Governor in Eu-
rope 1t would not be pleasant il
he should bo placed under police espionage
on the other side or treated as Suspect"
in Berlin. The European authorities and
police may rest assured that he is not

A Good Oatioois.

BY. engaging the services of Professor
Edison to test the causes of the noise on
the Metropolitan Elevated Railway the
managers of the road have manifested their
desire to do all in their power to accommo-
date and satisfy the public. We have never
doubted the Willingness of the company to
make the road as little inconvenient or in
furious to the people as possible. 1t might
have been better to have delayed the open
ing until everything was in more perfect
order and to have applied at once those
improvements which are now promised.
Still imperfections would have been de-
veloped by the practical working Of the
road under any circumstances, and if the
company will only be prompt in the adop-
ton of remedies the people will be satis-
fed. There may be no such terrible dan
ger in the rapid transit monster MS the doc
tors who have had their brains muddlcd by
the noise of the trains imagine; but the din
is, nevertheless, very Objectionable, and it
is fortunate that Professor Edison is conf
dent in his ability to materially decrease
the noise. The other inconvenience and
annoyances complained Of by residents
along the line can be easily removed.

credence in these absurd rumors. We be-
lieve that the Lieutenant Governor of New
York goes abroad simply to see and to be
seen; that he is in search of recreation, in
tending to receive and impart pleasure;
that he will not be found in any dirty Com
munistic hsunts in the European capitals,
but will, on the contrary, display his fine
figure and his handsome face wherever they
can be seen to the best advantage. Finally,
we believe he will return home better salts
fed with his own country than ever; for II
he discovers anything more interesting
than himself in foreign lands it will be as
surprising to theLieutsnant Governor as to
his numerous friends.

cedent to the negotiations. In any
case he had an undoubted right to
hold this opinion. But General Grant
and Secretary Fish did not hold
with him ; on the contrary. in their belief
such condition would be fatal to the at
tempt they were making to settle the differ
ences between the two countries. Now,
under the constitution they were charged
with the negotiations; but whatever they
should conclude must be judged and ratified
by the Senate, which was certain to be
strongly influenced by the report of the
committee of which Mr.. Sumner was not
only the chairman but by far the most in
fuential member. Under these circum-
stances they were bound, if they began
the negotiations, to try to remove every
serious obstruction to their success and
even Mr.. Pierce will allow that Mr..
Summers opposition was tho most danger
Gus they had to look for If, then, it should
be true that the Senators agreeing as they
did with Mr. Fish's policy and not with
Mr. Sumner's-were moved by administra-
ton influences to depose Mr.. Sumner, any
man accustomed to the management of pub
lie affairs wiA admit that no wrong was done

his opinions on a most important question.

Cours sney Wins BY . Quarter OF .
Mile.

When Courtney fortnight ago played
with Dempsey oil the way up the course,
and then suddenly, at the turning stake,
found himself entanglod in some hidden
obstruction and the next minute shot un-
ceremoniously into the lake, many of his
rivals friends claimed substantially that
Dempsey was too much for him, and en-
couraged the idea that this was ruse Of
Courtncy's TO escape defeat. Yesterday at
Skaneateles, however, the relative merits of
the two were conclusivcly settled. Courtney
not only broke away from his antagonist at
once and took commanding lead, but ac-
tually was ahead at tho finish by whole
quarter of mile. This ought to satisfy
the most ardent admirer Of Dempsey that
no has yet no business with first class
man. 1t pretty effectually removes from
the public mind any doubt, if any ever ex-
istcd, rs to whether Courtney stopped at
Geneva to any such trick as was imputed to
him. Hanlan's second easy work with q
whole fcld Of good scullcrs in Canada yes
terday makes II oil the more incumbent upon
Courtney to leave no stone unturned to win
in the great event with Hanlan in Septem-

Columbia Wins in the Fastest,
Time. on Record.
America really won every race she rowed
in at Henley yesterday. Lee, OF Newark,
was beaten by six feet, but he had led all
the way, and, stopping at what he thought
to be the finish, the stalwart Edwardes-
Moss, Ae English champion, came up and
went by. Lee ought to challenge him at
once. to try it over, as he will probably not
meet him in the Wingfeld sculls. 1t
was superb fight and both men
were much distressed. Columbia stuck SO
faithfully to her inside course that she
found herself running into the bank, and
in working out little ran against Dublin,
entirely out of her own place and over in
Columbia's water, and the referee very
properly granted Columbia's claim of the
foul which then ensued; but he refused
what they went to England for is thrown
clean away. But the Shoe-wae- -cae-mettes,
as usual. attended right to their work, and
easily leading both the others, even before
the collision, pushed directly on and won
as they liked. Later in the day Columbia
rowed in heat with Cambridge iour,
three of whom were in the Cam bridge
Varsity eight, and with an Oxford four, two
OF whom rowed stroke and seven in Oxford's
winning Varsity eight, and fairly rowed both
down, beating Oxford by over two lengths
and Cambridge by more yet, and, most re-
markable of all, covering the famous Henley
course itself in seven minutes and thirty
seconds-sixteen and three-quarter seconds
less than the fastest time on record! This
one event will do more than anything that
has yet happened to raise our oarsmen in
British estimation. Columbia, undoubtedly,
has defects in style which are easily
discernible, even to the inexperienced
eye. But when in spite of them she rows
down the foremost oarsmen Of both of Eng
lands far famed universities, and that in
their own climate, on their own pet water
and in their own favorite race, and not only
beats all past college time, but that of all
other amateurs as we'll, no fair-minded
man, no matter what his tongue or country,
will deny them the credit of being thor
oughly first class oarsmen. They oughtnot
to be expected to beat the first amateur
four in Europe-that of the London Row.
ing Club-though they did yesterday beat
one of that four Labat, who rowed at No.
2 in Dublin), but they may even accom-
plish that. In any event it is comforting
to know that the astonishing Shoe-wse-cae-
mettes stand ready and eager to face Lon
don, md the fact that the latter has de-
clined challenge from these Michiganders
to row over the four miles and three
furlongs from Putney to Mortlake seems
to suggest pretty conclusively that the
Surprise Party for Henley" of which the
HERALD spoke less than month ago, is up
holding the name we gave it in right royal
fashion, aud maybe before nightfall the
forty-six homely strokes minute of these

quite as effective as the torty-two clean,
precise, perfect ones Of the first four in

Ten Brock and Molli. Mccarthy.


The twenty thousand spectators who as
sembled on the Louisville course yesterday
to SEQ O well contested race between Ten
Brock and Mollie Mccarthy were sadly
disappointed. Both horses started. it is
true, but they did little besidcs The Cali
fornia mare was distanced in the first heat,
being completely Gagged OUT before it was
finished. 1t appears the track was in bad
condition, owing to heavy rains the two
preceding days, and, in addition, the
weather was excessively warm. These un-
favorable conditions told severely on Mollie
Mccarthy, and in addition she tried to do
too much. 1t seems that at the start she set
the pace ut the top Of her marvel
lous speed. The calculation Of her
rider was that in endeavoring to
keep up with her Ten Brock would
break down and lose the race almost from
the beginning. But the mare herself was
unequal to the terrible effort and gave out
first, leaving her stronger competitor an
easy victory. The race will be great dis
appointment to the lovers of the turf, and
it is n pity that the famous marc was not
managed with better judgment.

A Peaceful Annivers.ry.

The experience of yesterday must make
the most rabid frecracker patriot in the
city convert to the anti-gunpowder policy
of the Common Council and quiet Fourth
of July. It was as novel as enjoyable to be
allowed to go to sleep on the evening Of the
Sd and to rest until morning, without
being awakened at midnight and enter.
tanned till daylight by the firing OF cannons
and pistols and the swapping Of powder
crackers. 1t was delightful to be able to
walk the streets on the glorious anniversary
without being deatened by similar noises
and nauseated by the smell of burning
powder. Ladies in especial were enabled
to venture out Of doors without running the
risk of having their skirts ignited by sparks
and burning punk, and parents could
rest quietly in their houses with
out the dread of seeing their chill
dren carried in deficient of an eye,
q finger or hand. The law was generally
observed and enforced. Occasionally
stray popping was heard, when some VEN
turesome youngster would slyly ignite and
cast into the road bunch of crackers or
discharge pistol from some open door or
window, but these only served to remind
us that the day was the one we have been
accustomed to celebrate for over hundred
years and to call to mind the sufferings we
have heretofore been compelled to patriot
ically endure in the heated and crowded
year.
There is no reason why we should not
continue to remember and to honor the
nations anniversary, even if we do refuse
to allow the city to be made q pandemon-
ium and lives and property to be put in
jeopardy on that day. We can celebrate in
o Christian and intelligent manner, to the
satisfaction of all patriotic citizens, as the
success of the spirited proceedings ofsthe
Tammany Society and other similar demon
strations yesterday will testify. No person
would like to see the Fourth forgotten or
sighted but we need not burn down
houses and disfigure and main our chill
dren in order to prove our veneration for
the nations birthday. A public display of
fireworks in the evening would be a proper
popular amusement for the day, and it Is
parsimony and not economy on the part of
our city authorities to deny this to the peo-
pie. But the prohibition of the use of fire.
works and firearms in the streets is Judi
cious reform, and now that we have once
experienced its advantages it is not likely
thnt it will ever be abandoned or that the
evils, annoyances and dangers of the old
"Fourths" will ever be revived in New York.
