Some Of the results of the victory won by
the American team are ludicrous enough. In
England their success seems to have produced
something like q panic, and even the hardy
Scots fled on the approach of our American
boys. We had hoped that this demoraliza-
ton would prove to be only temporary, and
that John Bull, who is always boasting so
loudly Of his pluck and courage, would try a
contest with our American ridemen, if only to
show that Britons were not to be scared by any
half dozen Yankees We confess however, to
grievous disappointment Not alone has
the Council of Wimbledon refused to permit
the trial of skill between the teams represents
ing the three British nationalities, but it has
also vetoed the competition between the men,
bers of the British teams of IA and '75. We
cannot guess who constitute the awful VIM
bledon Council, but it evidently represents the
pluck, courtesy and exquisite taste for which
our friend John Bull is everywhere SO re-
markable


With Characteristic generosity, though John
would not allow our boys to compete with his,
ne offers to give our boys silver cup, TO be shot
for over here in America. John was evidently
afraid that the American rifemen would have
mnde clean sweep of the Wimbledon prizea
if allowed to compete. Not liking to be
beaten on his own ground, John preferred
to buy off the Americans with o hundred
guinea cup rather than risk defeat. This
tribute cup, however, we do not want If the
Britishers will shoot for 1t we will be glad to
see our boys bring it home, but Am erican
rifemen do not need presents from foreign
ers who decline to meet them fairly in tho
lists. Under these circumstances our rifle
men cannot accept the trophy profIered to
them without loss of dignity. The English
and Scotch no doubt have good reasons for
their disinclination to meet our marlsmen at
the butts. Perhaps they are too polite to wish
to inhict defeat on Americans in England.
If this be so we hope they will do US the favor
of coming to Creedmoor next year. We assure
them they will find no such over delicacy.
Here they will be welcomed to trial OF skill
where they will have fair field and no favor.

however, science and literature work together
to reproduce events as they occur, and the
subscriber to the HERALD is enabled almost to
see that of which he reads. The newspaper
at the breakfast table becomes picture gal
lery as well as diary of the occurrences of
the day before, and the unseen has all the
reality of the seen. No ordinary pictures
could accomplish an end so important; but in
our maps to-day, we believe, is the key not
only to the journalism. but the illustrated
journalism, of the future.


We need draw no moral from yesterdays
race except that which we have already indi-
Gated The subject of college boating in par
ticular and physical culture in general is too
clearly understood to need elaborate treat
ment at this late day. For more than quar-
ter OF a century in this country and for
nearly fifty years in England have the uni
verslties met in friendly annual aquatic con-
tests. 1t is an evidence of the interest in
physical training which has been growing
during the last few years with unexampled
rapidity, that for the two crews which for
merly contested for victory on Lake Quin-
sigamond and the Connecticut River, there
were yesterday no fewer than thirteen boats
on the water at Saratoga. What if some Of
these failed to achieve any very satisfactory
results2 1t by no means follows
that because Princeton and Hamilton and
Union were behind in this years race one or
other of thsm may not win in the next No
philosophy can keep them from coming in
first at the finish if they are superior in skill
and training to their competitors. AS it was
impossible to predict victory for Cornell
yesterday, so it viii be equally impossible to
/ deny it to pluck, endurance and skill here
after. Just such victories as Cornelrs it is
the purpose of these regattas to afford to the
contestants, and while they are so nobly won
and SO well deserved college boating will
grow in popular esteem and these athletic
sports tend toward the one great end of physi-
cal culture and enjoyment without presenting
any impediment to mental training.

They will again take up and ondeavor to pass
the city ordinances providing against the

that at least one Of the republican Aldermen

sentatives have been forced by their trading

Professor Marsh has addressed an inn
portant letter to the President in reference
to the Indian question, The Professor
confirms the information contained in an
elaborate and able exposure of the Indian
frauds in recent number Of the HERALD.


As our readers will remember, the HERALD
sent special correspondent into the Sioux
country to study this problem and give us the
truth. His report was the most important
contribution that has ever been made on this
subject, and it is abundantly confirmed by
Professor Marsh. The Professor shows that
neither the Secretary of the Interior nor the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs has
made any serious effort to ''correct
the present abuses in Indian manage
ment" In all his intercourse with them
the Professor has observed that their only
care was to prevent by every means in their
power all publicity or exposure Of them" He
expressly asserts that oil the evidence in his
possession reflects unfavorably "on both Sec
retary Delano and Commissioner Smith,"
He shows also that one agent, whose name he
gives, is unfit for his post and "guilty of gross
frauds" The Indians OF certain agencies are
systematically overstated. The beef, porn,
-four, sugar, coffee and tobacco were bad "of
little or no use to the Indians" and in conse-
quence they suffered "greaty during the past
winter for want of food and clothing" We
do not see how General Grant can remain
silent before this appeal in face of the evil
dence thus presented. The reply of the Com
missioner is printed elsewhere, and unless his
position is sustained both Delano aud Smith
should be punished and dismissed from office.

The TWEED CASE was before the courts yes
terday. His lawyers made motion to re-
duce his BAIL These are the lawyers to
whom, as Tweed told reporter with tears in
his eyes, he had paid half a million of dollars.
They certainly earn the money-or rather the
peoples money as every dollar came from
the people. How would it do for Mr.. O'Conor
to serve notice to these ingenious men to
pay over their fees to Comptroller Green? The
money was stolen, and Mr.. Tweed has no
right to pay them stolen money Is it not
amazing that this monumental thief does not
breathe a word about restitution? If he had
stolen horse lac would have remained in Jail
to the end of his term; but having stolen
millions he can fight and defy justice.

The visit of Governor Tilden to Long
Branch, in New Jersey, has caused much
comment. No one grudges the Governor an
opportunity of a visit to the sea shore. Coney
Island, to be sure is watering place, with
surf and clans and mosquitoes and other
Atlantic Ocean luxuries, but it is too near the
Brooklyn Ring for a prudent Governor to
seek his personal health by imperilling his
political virtue. Fire Island has also salty
merits, but it is a noisy, hot place, frequented
by administration editors, who have robbed it
ofits tranquility. The Hampton beaches have
a national fame as a sanitary resort but
Centennial Dix, with his guns and duck
shooting, is not pleasant neighbor for q
Presidential candidate. Long Branch, on the
other hand, is the summer home of the Pres-
dent, of Boss Murphy and Hugh Hastings,
and naturally enough budding candidate for
Executive honors would find information as
well as relaxation in its pleasant society


By the constitution of the State Governor
Tilden by making his home in another State
abdicates his Office. On this point the terms
of the constitution are expicit:-''In case of
the impeachment of the Governor" says the
constitution, cor his removal from office,
death, inability to discharge the powers and
duties of said Office, resignation. or absence
from the State, the powers and duties of the
Office shall devolve upon the Lieutenant
Governor for the residue OF the term, or
until the disability shall cease. But when
h. boI xu:t he -
Legislature, be out Of the State in time of
war at the head of military force thereof,
he shall continue commander-n-chiefof of oil
the military force of the State" SO by the
express words Of the law, which is as much
the master of the Governor as OF the humblest
citizen, Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer be-
comes Governor of the State, and is now the
legal head of the Executive Department of
the State.


We congratulate Mr.. Dorsheimer upon his
elevation TO this high post. There are many
things he can do which were overlooked ~
his venerable and illustrious predecessor He
can settle the Corporation Counsel question,
which is in abeyance and has already become
a scandal. BY the aid of Mayor Wickham he
can remove Comptroller Green. He can as
sist the Mayor in reforming the government
of the city. He can review Irish PROFESSIONS,
and with more effect than his predecessor, be-
cause he is a much handsomer man, with o
fine military bearing. More than all, he can
have his picture painted by Frank Carpenter,
who, having finished his Lincoln picture,
would undoubtedly rejoice in giving immor-
tality to the noble features Of our young Gov
ernor.


1t is just possible that the shrewd Tiden
has abdicated to give his colleague the oppor-
tunty Of solving these agitating problems. Be
this as it may, Dorsheimer is legally the Gov
ernor of New York, and he has our best
wishes for the success of his administration

old (and yet new) brother was called
upon at the proper time for remarks.
He said: ~ have been holding back
and watching this Order for two years,
now. Seeing its aims and knowing the
the results it has already attained. /
am determined to put my shoulder to
the wheel and help push the mighty
work on with all the power / have in
this old frame; and in coming into the
Order / found it solemn thing, and
the further go with it the more SOL
emn | find it." This brother has been
a Baptist for many years, and the
quoting Of the Sacred Scriptures by
him in his journey to the harvest feast,
is feast to the soul which none but a
Christian heart can feel. We have
generally good attendance, and our
meetings are growing in interest each
time. The main question is, how can
we live comfortableand yet economical,
and keep out Of debt? Some Of us
have corn and meat both to huy, and
have but little money. We feel that
there is a better time coming. There
is more corn planted and more oats
sown than common, but | fear King
Cotton is too much on the brain for re-
lief We have hard time in trying
to raise our own meat here; the cholera,
the want Of corn and proper attention,
is the main drawback; Sambo don't
get many, but sheep stand slim
chance. I have already spun this out
too long, so wishing you and the VIN-
DICTATOR prosperity, will close.

Brothers and Sisters: 1t is our sacred
privilege TO be here to-day for the pur-.
pose Of planting tree which shall per-
petuate the memory of our dear depart.
ed brother. Our duty to the dead is,
or should be, duty of love. We
love to our friends, not only while they
are here with US, but also after they
have gone hence to return no more.
This should not be eaquiet, passive love,
but one in which our actions show forth
our esteem for our departed friends.
This is manifest from the fact that our
brother, whom we consigned to his last
resting place only a few days ago, is
"not lost but gone before" and that
we shall surely meet again--meet
again, and then, if it be permitted to
us, with what joy can we tell Of our
unceasing watchfulness over his grave,
in decorating, beautifying and adorn-
ing his last resting place; then it is
his home, where he can rest in peace
quiet. 1t is his home; we beautify
our homes, then why should we not
set apart portion Of our time to adorn
the homes Of those we love. We plant
this tree--a tree dedicated to the mem
ory of our brother, which shall stand
as a reminder to us that he too, like
us was once here, and enjoyed the full
strength and health of manhood. It
is also an emblematical tree-an ever
green-an everlasting tree-then it is
an emblem of the soul, which shall
live forever. This tree may die, but
still it is an emblem of the soul. May
the home of our brother be kept adorn-
ed and beautifed throughout ages, and
when "the last sun shall set on the
last eve of time" may he arise and be-
hold everything around him in perfect
beauty and harmony, which shall prove
to him that he has not been forgotten.

Some ingenuity appears TO have been employed in
ievising a new setting and arrangement Of the
stage The decorations Of a bal-lOor are naturally
limited by the demand for space to few stands Of
natural flowers occupying little room. and TO the
effects which may be produced by sklllful arrange
ment of gas jets. But this year new scene bounded
the sides and back OF the stage proper,
wRile several stands of natural flowers bordered
che semi-crce Of the improvised stage, which
covered the whole space occupied by the orchestra
chairs The scene on the side and roof of the stage
was the beautiful Oriental pavilion used in the
opera of "MignOn' while the fiat" against the
back of the stage and beyond the arch of the
naviiion was the view of the Tuileries Garden,
familiar to ball -goers at the Academy. But this
occasion a raised platform Immediately in front Of
Che fiat" was furnished with a number OF easy
ch4irs and sofas. devoted during the evening to
the use Of the lady managers, and naturally
here gathered, while The dancing was in progress,
many of the most distinguished of the company.
Immediately in front of this platform, and just
above the heads of the managers as they sat- there
was the word Charity" formed by gas jets, shin
ng brightly enough to suggest the idea Of halo of
reward for their benevOlence In front of this and
underneath the pavilion. hung four large chande-
Iers, which gave fine effect TO the light
.olors of the frescoing above and around





we're their only decorations The SIX stands of nat
aral flowers winch bordered the curve Of the stage
searest the balcony circle were unusually large and
rave forth fragrance only exceled by that Of the
fountain of perfume. which played continuously
during the evening at the steps leading 10 the bal
cony reserved for the lady managers.


Possibly the arrangements Of the supper rooms do
aot propeby come under the designation Of decora-
lions but in this respect in all others the ball
committee had made novel preparations, regardless
81 cost and evidently in full anticipation
Of the magnificent success which the ball
proved to be. Not only was Nilsson
Hall furnished as a supper-room, but the
basement Of the Academy, heretofore given up to
use as a wine-room. was handsomely carpeted, and
DelmOnico spread there his most elegant tables.
This room was much warmer and more accessible
than Nilsson Hail. and was the favorite resort Of
those needing refreshments The outlay IN the
matter of supper alone must have been immense but
the Committee had carefully calculated the prob
abilities of success, and had not overstated them.
