| less he thinks he is to be again elected the
Chief Magistrate of the country.
As to his political prospects, we do not
suppose that he has yet any settled opin-
ion himself He is not the kind of man to
jump at conclusions in advance of the
facts, nor to accept nomination which, on
full survey of the situation, he would not
think equivalent to an election. His repu-
tation is too great to be staked upon un-
certain chances. He is evidently awaiting
the further development of public senti-
ment, and meanwhile there is no necessity
for final decision as to the presidency Of
the canal.
We cannot accept the opinion expressed
by Mr.. Menocal in the interview which we
printed yesterday that the two positions
are not incompatible. Mr.. Menocal says
that the offer of the French capitalists is
conditioned "upon General Grant being
the active or the honorary president of the
company" If not elected President
Of the United States he is expected
to take the former position; if be
is, "what is there to prevent his
remaining as the honorary president ?"
We answer that his own sense of propriety
should be an insurmountable obstacle to his
holding both positions. The President of
the United States should not be an officer or
stoSkholder of company whose profits
may be affected by the action of the govern
ment. 1t would be proper for General
Grant as President to favor this enterprise,
but it should be on purely public grounds,
without any suspicion of bias from pri-
vate interest. The shares of the COM
pany will go into the stock market
and be the subject of speculation, and, as
ment action, it would not do for the Presi-
dent Of the United States to have an en-
tangling alliance With its affairs. We are
confident that General Grant has never
lent any countenance to the view ex-
pressed by Mr.. Menocal. So far as he
he will be president of the company
he must have intended an active
and responsible personal superintendent.
1t Is to be hoped by all well wishers of
this gigantic undertaking that it may Sc
cure the services Of so able and illustrious
an executive. What is four years of rou-
tine duty IN the White House in COMPARE
son with the fame and advantage that
would come to General Grant from con-
structing stupendous and benefcent work
which would eclipse all the changes yet
made by man in the ply steal structure of
the globe?

Close upon the report that the yacht Hem
riette was disabled at sea comes our spe-
cial despatch announcing her safe arrival
under sail at Fortress Monroe. Steam
yachts so large and perfectly appointed as
the Henriette are very rare, and gentlemen
of means, like M. Say, are SO little given
to seeking pleasure in long ocean voyages
that any serious disaster to the vessel would
have occasloned unusual regret among peo-
pie who admire handsome craft and spir-
tied yachtsmen. AS the accident was one
that can quickly be remeded the Henriette
will probably soon again be off upon her
two-year cruise around the world, and
her owner may feel safer than heretofore,
having learned by experience that his boat
can take care of herself under sail.

Eight-inch Party Walls.

Anybody who wants to understand how
three hundred buildings have been erected
on Manhattan Island during the year 1879
with party walls only eight inches thick,
under the sanction Of the municipal Super
intendent of Buildings, can do so by refer
ring to an instructive conversation reported
in the HERALD this morning. The State
Legislature, after codifying the build
ing laws into thirty valuable Sec
tons, nullfed their value by add
ing one that confers discretion upon
the Buildings Department to disregard
them in any paaicular. This discretion
has been used in the three hundre cases
at the solicitation of builders whose con-
sciences are fully satisfied if their struc-
lures only hold together long enough for a
sale of them to be effected. What destruc-
ton of property and how many deaths of
innocent occupants and brave fremen are
to result from the insufiiciency of these
eight-inch walls it remains for 1880 and
subsequent years to reveal. And yet q
considerable part of the people Of New
York seem to think that any kind Of pot

Sir William Thomson, the eminent British
scientist, has recently proposed several very
important reforms in the system of lighting
lighthouses, which he enforces with many
pertinent observations made by himself
while cruising around the British coasts
and investigating the practical operation of
their lights. In letter to the London
Times, December 2, he contends very
forcibly for an increase in the rapidity
argues that they should never be
lost to the seaman's view for more
than the time required for their complete
Identification. He adduces instances of re-
volving lights obscured for twenty or
thirty seconds, and one "with its ffty-four
seconds of extinction and it's niggardly six
seconds of visibility" while ''three short
flashes in three or four seconds with an in
terva of six seconds of darkness would
have an instantly recognizable rhythm"
dieter of the Morse flashing alphabet) in
telligible to any approaching vessel. The
incertitude Of the mariner, when the revo-
lutions of the light are slow and the time
its extinction, is increased by the irregu-
larities in the periods of revolution,
which Professor Thomson's observations
show are too common for safety.
Another reform he advocates is the plan
of attaching to all lights which do not re-
volve system of eclipsing shutters which
would mark time signals, equivalent to the
dot and dash of the Morse alphabet SO that
each light would constantly spell out it's
own name, or letter of the same import,
for the benefit of an approaching mariner
Out of six hundred and twenty-three lights
on the British and Irish coasts five hundred
and thirteen are fixed lights. and these
of course can only be distinguished from
each other by the conjecture or belief of the
sailor with regard to the position Of his
ship. No doubt, as the Times says. vessels
are lost by installing lights thus indis-
tinguishable.
third reform proposed is the absolute
Abandonment Of color as q means of distin-
gushing between fixed lights. The red
and green, with one or two exceptions the
only available colors for lights, are easily
mistaken Tor the side lights of steamers,
aud thus lure the mariner on to the very
perils against which they are designed to
warn him. Color signals also are liable to
be observed by. color blind men, and
experiments have proved that about four
per cent of males have the unfortunate de-
feet of vision which incapacitates them
from distinguishing colors.
The high authority whence these reforms
(Which Sir William Thomson says he has
been urging since 1879 emanate entitle
them to the careful consideration of our
own Lighthouse Board, some of whose
lights on the Atlantic coast are distinguished
by intervals between the flashes amounting
to one minute and thirty seconds and even
two minutes.

We are not disposed to PREJUDICE Mr.. Par
nell's mission and are willing that he
shall have an opportunity to explain 1t to
the American public. But If its purpose
is what it is stated to be we have
no hesitation in condemning it. Mr..
Parnell, who has just embarked. is
accompanied by his compatriots Dill
Ion and Davitt. They were greeted
with no enthusiasm on their departure
from Dublin. nor during their journey
thence to Queenstown. nor on their arrival
and embarkation. The avowed object of
the visit to America is to ''make collec-
tions" from Irishmen in this country, and
one Irishman at Queenstown objected to
their going on begging mission. If their
reception in this country should be as
frigid as their farewell on leaving their own
they will have not great deal to hope.
We are not surprised at the GOODNESS
with which Mr.. Parnell's departure is re-
garded by the Irish people. The agitation
having proceeded to dangerous lengths
under Mr.. Parnell's auspices, and some of
the more jealous of his followers having

to be no fit time for the absence of
their leader. If the agitation is legit-
innate he is the last man that
should be spared. He should stand by
his followers to give them heart and
courage if they are right, and especially to
restrain and direct their zeal when 1t is
likely to overpass prudent limits. Other
people can beg in foreign country if
begging is necessary, but the agitators
without Mr.. Parnell will be like an
army deprived Of it's general in the
most critical stage Of q campaign. A
leader should not fly from danger, but
face it. If anybody is to brave the severity
of the government Mr.. Parnell is the man,
and it does not become him after getting
other people into difficulty to find safety
for himself in a foreign country. If he
wants to ''make collections" for a sedition
fund he will get very little here for push
ing other people into dangers from which
Mr.. Parnell prudently withdraws his own
person.

Rapid Transit North of Harlem.

Mayor Cooper has more Rapid Transit
Commissioners to nominate in reference to
routes north Of the Harlem River, and the
petitioners have suggested list to him
which seems sufficient in variety to satisfy
his most exciting requirements. They ask
him to choose among Messrs. Charles w.
Bathgate, Horace B. Clafin, Andrew Find
ley, John B. Haskin, Leonard Jerome.
Pierre Lorillard, Daniel r. Kendall, Law
renee Kip, Theodore Moss, w. w. Niles,
Charles L. Perkins, ex-Judge Tappan and
William r. Travers. If the Mayor is en-
barrassed by the righteousness of appoint
ing some of these gentlemen to the ex-
clusion of the rest, he might put these
thirteen names on separate slips of paper
in hat, shut his eyes and draw the
requisite number Or he might roll the
slips into little pellets, after the fashion of
a spiritual medium, and make n selection in
that way. BY either method upon the
rules of hazard he could not fail to secure
an intelligent and capable commission.
Whichever he adopts, or if any other i'm
partial process occurs to him, he should not
long delay its application. In justice to
the inhabitants of the northern wards of
the city the appointments should be made
promptly.

The Negro Migration to Indiana.

The interesting despatch we print from
North Carolina narrating the beginning and
progress Of colored migration from that
State to Indiana leaves some mystery hang
ing over the movement. 1t gives pleas
ing picture of the prosperity of the North
Carolina blacks, their opportunities for ed
ucation and employment and their equality
with the whites in civil rights, and yet it
says they depart In troops. More
than four hundred have gone from
tho neighborhood of Goldsboro alone,
which indicates q startling depletion
of the population of the State if the same
proportion prevails elsewhere. Some Of
the emigrants write back doleful stories Of
the unproftableness OF the change from the
pine clad Southern highlands to the mud
banks of the Wabash, but these are ineffec-
tual to restrain the departure Of more. The
only cause assigned for the movement-the
playing OF an Indiana editor and North
Carolina preacher upon the Imagination Of
the negroes--seems inadequate.

they were untrue He further stated that, with the

The WEArnER.-The disturbance that was
expected to advance from the Rocky Mountain
regions, stated in yesterdays HERALD, made
its appearance during the afternoon over the
Lower Missouri Valley and is now moving rap
idly toward the central valley and lower lake
districts. The large area of high barometer
which dominated the weather over the north
ern portions of the country OH Saturday is pass
ing into the ocean off the New England coast,
and its slow movement causes the gradients for
easterly and southeastcrly winds to become
very steep over the lower lakes. Snow
fell in nearly all the territory east of the
Mississippi except in the central valleys
and South Atlantic States, where the high
temperature caused the precipitation to take
i'll the lower lake regions, Middle Atlantic and
New England States remained nearly station
AIRY in the central valley districts and rose
slightly elsewhere. The winds have been from
brisk to high in the lake regions. brisk 30 fresh
in the Middle Atlantic and New England and
generally light in the other districts. The APP
preaching disturbance is likely TO prove very
severe along the Atlantic coast north of Cape
Hattcras during the next few days. The weather
in New York and its vicinity to-day will be
cloudy aud cold, with snow or sleet. To-inor-
row it will be warmer and cloudy, with rains in
the early portion.
