Attornev-Gencral Brewster must have committed
so ne extraordinary crime against public morals in
his recent appearance before the United States Cir
cuit Court in Newt Orleans. The Louisiana Lottery
Company, finding itselfcut off by theenergy and de-
cisiOn of Postmaster-Gcncral Gresham from the
direct use of the mails made arrangements for an
indirect use of them through the New-Orleans
National Bank. The Government having taken
steps to prevent this legal battle has ensued in
which Attorney-General Brewster has taken part
on behalf of the Postmaster. The Associated Press
account of the hearing simply represents the At
torney- General as resisting by legal arguments
motion TO transfer tho case to the State courts.
But according to The Nelc Orleans IimeS-DemoGat,
Mr.. Brewster appeared as "a bulldozer." II saysi

The Board appointed to report on the best
method of fitting out another Grcely Relief
Expedition was favored yesterday with good
deal of apparently excellent advice. But un-
fortunately there appears to be wide difference
of opinion Oh this subject among the expert
enced Arctic navigators. 1t is hopeful, how
ever, to find them united in the belief that
Greely is safe. With the past experience i'll
Arctic navigation it ought to be possible for an
expedition to be fitted out this time that will at
least bring no discredit upon the country.

Yesterdays catalogue Of horrors marks an
ominous beginning of the new year. a railroad
collision near Toronto caused the loss Of
twenty-sevcr lives; a dam gave way in Michi-
gan, killing six persons, and the burning of a
tow-boat near Pittsburg is supposed to have
resulted in the death of four men. The worst
of il is. that these accidents might have been
prevented by the exercise OF an intelligent
human foresight. With all the appliances for
safety now provided on railroads there Is not
the slightest excuse for Il collision Ike that
which took place yesterday near Toronto
Speedy and severe punishment ought to be
meted out to the conductor Of the freight tram,
if it be true that he was responsible for the
accident.

The folly of the course pursued by the Typo
orapbical Union in raising the rates Of cOmpo-
sition in this city is shown in its effect on the
hook offices. In one establishment 1lO COM
positors were discharged on Saturday night be-
cause the proprietor was losing money under
the union rates. In other Offices large contracts
have been lost because the rates for compost
ton in New-YOrk are so much higher than III
Philadelphia and other cities. The Immediate
effect of this increase in rates, at time Oh
business depression, is to drive book work out
of the city and further to injure the trade here

The ultimate effect will be to destroy the union,

The Democratic Aldermen are now engaged
in their annual wrangle over the presidency OF
the Board If the Legislature does It's duty
there will be less strife for this place anOtner
wear. The President of the Board of Alder
men, if he is to continue to act as member OF
the Board of Estimate, ought to be elected Ill
the same way as the Mayor. The system tnat
permits the representative of single district
TO have an equal voice with the Mayor IN the
appOrtionment of the public money Is entlrey
wrong. 1t has resulted for two successive TERMS
in making liquor dealer one of the four mem
bers of the Board of Estimate, and 1t Is hkely
to have like effect again this year. III chal'se
were made as suggested, and the Aldermen
compelled to serve without pay and not allowed
a veto power over the Mayors appointments
there would be fair chance for some improve
ment in the city government.

The President Of the London Society of Public
Analysts makes the astonishing statement that
81, 900, 900 is paid every year by English con-
sumers for water sold as milk-a sum
nearly equal to the product OF an
additional penny on the income tax.

him that milk aduteration is the most lucrative
business In London, and that the public is practi-
cally unprotected under existing laws He adyo-
Gates increased penalties on third and subsequent
convictions, systematic collection of samples, the
fixing Of defulte standard Of quality, and the
abolition Of any system whereby dealers may be

not oftener thanonce month, and imposing such
trivial fines that dishonest dealers afford to pay
them many times over and then go on watering
milk with impunity until the next inspection. II
the consumers were only certain that the milk
would be mixed with good water, the evil would
not be so serious. The water in many quarters OF
London and the outlying dairy districts is frequent
" unfit for drinking, and when added to the milk
must have a distinct effect upon public health es-

And now Mr.. Holman's friends are complaining
that he has been badly treated in the matter OF the
committees. 1t is true that he is given a chance to
pursue his usual policy of obstruction in the Com
mittee on Appropriations, but he has no chairman
ship, and in general is put in the direction of the
rear. This is attributed by some of his friends TO
the influence of Mr.. Mcdonald, who is said to be
jealous of Mr.. Holman a Presidential candidate.
This may be news to Mr.. Mcdonald. If it is all
true, however, the number of persons who think
seriously of Mr. Holman as a candidate for the
Presidency has increased hundred per cent. That
is to say Mr.. Mcdonald has added himself to Mr..
Holman. Meantime, The Sun, having grown weary
of blowing n horn which awakened no echoes and
received no notice but in grins, says sadly that
timber inferior" to Mr. Holman will do "to be
nominated to be defeated" 1t will be interesting
to see The Sun laboring through the next campaign
in support of a candidate who it knows and con-
fesses in advance has been nominated to be de-
feated."

The peaceful processes Of the law have been
resumed at Yazoo, Mississippi. Those Of the negro
prisoners charged with completely in the Christmas
Eve murders who have not been -lynched have
been examined Three of them have been discharged,
but detained as witness, and others were to be
arraigned later Granting all that is charged against
the men who were lynched, how much better 1t
would have been for Yazoo City, and Mississippi
and the whole South If the decent orderly methods
of the law had been followed throughout. The
ooroners verdict upon the lynching by the way,
has hardly had the degree of attention it deserved
It said, referring to the lynchers All the
parties concerned are unknown Yet 1t is notorious
that there was no attempt at concealment by any
one in the crowd. There was no masking and many

One Of the most encouraging features of the an
nUal statistics of immigration compiled at Castle
Garden is the recedng proportion OF foreigners re
manning In this city after landing EveryyeaI this
number is smaller il proportion to the total num-
Der of immigrants than it was the preceding year.
large majority of those who arrive have sum-
cient means to take them to the West or to me
Southwest, and consequently there is not an in
creasing mass of imported poverty and ignorance
settling into the streets of New-York. During the
last year there has been a falling-of in imm gra-
tion from all European countries except ireland
and Hungary, the most conspicuous reduction be-
ing in the number arriving from Sweden. The
movement of population from that country to the
United States has always been somewhat mystic
rious in its causes and the sudden falling OH wit
messed last year is equally ineXplicable
Mr.. Richard A. Proctor does not think that the
abnormal sunsets in various parts OF the world can
be reasonably attributed to the volcanic cruptons
near the Sunda Straits His objections are thatthe
theory requires first, that much more volcanic dust
and vapor should have been expelled in order to
spread SO widely than was apparently thrown into
the upper atmosphere and secondly, that to reach
Trinidad Panama and Yokohama the expelled
matter should have travelled from sixty-hye to
seyenty-ive miles an hour, whereas it went IN iels-
urelv fashion to CcylOn and India. He considers
the theory of volcanic dust untenable. but has no
better hypothesis to propose. Professor Plazzl
Smith ascribes the phenomena to metcoric dust,
thereby confirming the judgment Of prominent
American scientists. Baron NOrdenskiod during
the voyage of the Vega, found traces OF what he
termed cosmio dust Under conditions apparently
preclndng the assumption that 1t was OF terrestrial
origin; and during his recent explorations IN
Greenland he obtained corrobOrative evidence
The settling of grains Of meteorc dust upon
ice-aoes in mid-ocean implies the occasional pres
eDce Of finer particles in tho upper atmosphere
where they have been detached from meteoric
bodies by friction. If the world happened to be
spinning through mcteorc belt of space, the dust
would be sprinkled over the atmospheric envelope
and any phenomena of light causedby It's presence
would be witnessed in all countries. This explana-
ton certainly does not make any larger demand
upon human credulity than the volcanic dust
theory and it is receiving the sanction Of high
scientific authority.

Gazette the origin Of the exceeding bitterness which
stirs the sonl Of the radical nOet:-

The Ii gslature has adjourned until Monday in
order TO allow time for the formation of the stand
ing committees of the two houses. That is good
and sufficient reason for this recess 1t is to be
hoped, however that when the work Of the session
seriously begins the practice that has obtained of
late years of adjourning every week from Friday
until Monday, will be abandoned. We ought to
have short session. If 1T is to be short, the mem
bers must stick to business.

Barwick.s Report.

According to the Signal Service reports
from the 10th to the present time esd
there have been three distinct storms OF
atmospheric waves passed over northern
and middle California. 1t must be borne
in mind that atmospheric waves move IN
rhvmthical repetition the same as waves OF
the ocean; some of them larger than
Others. The precipitation of moisture is
| from the trough OF the atmospheric wave
which is the low barometer-loW because
there is less air passing immediately on
the earth's surface: high barometer Is
the crest. or top, of the atmospheric blliow,
from which usually no rain falls. Inc
larger these aerial waves the longer a
low barometer remains over one place,
because it requires a longer period OF time
in coming given distance The rain OF
these rapidly-repeated storms for each day
is as follows Beginning with an lnappre-
probable amount on the 18th, there were
l SO inches on the 18th 70 OF an inch on
the 18th; 10 of an inch on tie 10TH L.
inches on the Goth .55 of an inch on the
Dist, and the same amount on the "a, ana
IS inches on the sd, up to P. NJ, and
still raining making a total OF COS inches
since the precipitation became apprecl-
able, and 923 inches for the season,
as against 276 inches to an equal date last
vear. an excess of 6.47 inches over last sea-
son to similar date. The heaviest rain
fall up to an equal date with the present
since 1877, was December, 1880, when 9.63
inches were measured; the present season
to date, therefore, is but AZ OF an inch be-
hind the wettest season III the past seven
years, and that wet season gave the highest
water in the river ever known, which was
26.7 feet at 5 A. NJ. on the 4th OF February,
1881. On the 9th of December, 1850,
there was los inches of rainfall. From
the barometrical outlook at this writing
IL o'clock last night, it does not appear very
encouraging. The reports at 4 o'clock this
morning Will define the liquid condition Of
the atmosphere. The rainfall from II NJ.
Yesterday to o'clock last night was For
Red Bluff, 60 of an inch; Sacramento, 1.31
inches: and San Francisco, 1.94 inches.
The total fer this storm at the above-named
places was Csc inches for Red Bluff, GIGS
inches for Sacramento and 6.29 inches for
San Francisco The total amount for this
season was: For Red Bluff, 1856 inches !;
Sacramento, .29inches, and San Francisco,
$40 inches, showing more rainfall in the
vicinity of the two latter places than at the
former; although the rainfall for the
present storm is very nearly equalized be-
tween the three places which represent
northern and middle California. The
temperature, wind and weather at II NJ. yes
terday for the following stations were For
Salt Lake, 40 southwest and threatening :;
Cheyenne, 400, west and clear; Denver,
540, southwest and clear; North Platte, 80
below zero, north and cloudy; Omaha,
zero, northeast and cloudy, and II bon,
90 below zero, northeast and light snow.
