RENT DAY IX NEW lODh. Some Enormous Figures Who are the Great Landholders. Cor. Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat. Tlie reason wlty this 1st of August nmy lie styled the (jrent quarler-dny ig that it was me first mammy ot me rents due under tbe new lenses issued on t ho 1st of May, in most of which an enor mous advance was maintained. Hence the ren'g collected on this occasion was vastly iirenterlliun any heretofore known. Anion"; the items of the occasion we umy mention Lolhrop it Luddingtoii's check for $7000 for one quarter's tent of marble store in Hroadway, paid to James H. Whiting, the noted lawyer. Anotlicr for $G5I)0, paid hy the Secretary of the Brokers' LSuard for the use of their room (only one room and in the second story), 50 feet by 00 in Itroadwiiy ; lo which may he added $10,0110 collected from t'le tenants in Trinity building for the same time. This building is -It) feet by llit), and five stories high, and returns every year nearly its original cost in the way of rents. For a week before quarlerdiiy the landlords were busy preparing iheir col lection rolls, and when the long-looked for time arrived, the clerks sallied forth to reap the golden harvest. Mr. A. T. Stewart took in about IfjO, 000. The Loril lards received as much mnre, whilu the Stuyvesant collections probably amount to twice that sum. The consistory of the Iltform Dutch Church collected not less than :iO,000. Trinity Church receipted from a rent roll which covers nearly acres of serried blocks, and teeming with tenantry. W. B. Astor'a were on the rush for a Jong time; since one brief day does not suf fice to call on 500 tenants and take in $200,000. At four o'clock the collectors could be seen entering the Prince street ollice with their portfolios Bwelled by (he pile of checks and hank notes, which were immediately counted and credited to the tenants. Among the best things in the ABtor list is the hotel of that name, which is good for tltf.OOO a year. The Park theatres, so called because built upon the sito of the old theatre, are of nearly equal rental ; aiujk the grand marble warehouse in Broadway, occupying the site of Wm. B. Astnr's former residence, is another heavy item, say $25,000 per year. The greatest variety in real estate is found on the list of A. T. Stewart, who owns, in addition to other property, two marble warehouses, a theatre and two churches. One of the bitter is of Bap tist origin, the other of Unitarian. Mr. Stewart allowed the latter to be convert ed into a theatre, where for a short time the Thespian muse, in the person of Miss Lucy Kushton, took the place once occupied by Orville lewcy. The thea tre, however, fuiled, notwithstanding Miss Lucy's attractions, and the church stands vacant. The Mher theatre is commonly known as Niblo's Garden, from its former rural and lloral charac ter. But the only garden to be seen here consists of a few fir trees growing in painted tubs. Mr. Stewart is now the largest holder of Broadway property, having made within the past ten years heavy purchases. The amount of rent paid the various real estate owners at the list quiirtcr-dny will equal $10,000,000, of which the lar cest amount will be immediately loaned on interest or devoted lo buying real estate. And now that the day is past and the rent all collected, the landlord's misery removes itself "three months before another dollar comes in how lone, how lone?" Sucli are the sorrows of the New York landlords. Villainies of Radicalism. Incited by the infamous Forney, the Radicals have repeatedly threatened they would break up the Philadelphia Con vention, and only a strong police force has no doubt alone prevented their doing so. But how outrageously they have be haved the following will show. A special dispatch from Philadelphia to the Cincinnati Enquirer says: "To-night the crowd is immense, and peaking from the balcony of the Contin ental has been in progress since 6 o'clock. United Slates Marshal Gooding, lion. Mr. Perine, George Francis Train, and lion. A. J. llogers, and others, have fur nished the oratory. At this time eleven o'clock tbe addresses still proceed wilh no apparent dimuuitioii ol the crowd. During tbo progress of the epeaking, early in the evening, the roughs endeav ored to get up a tight, and during the confusion .that ensued the pickpockets operated very extensively, and were finally marched oil under arreft, to the numlier of twenty or thirty. " Since the aliove was written a lare ang of men have marched into the crowd at the Continental, and endeav ored to incite a riot by hnrrahing for JelT. Davis and the Southern Conlt der cy. Failing to provoke a row in this D PIP h LXJ MEMPHIS. TENNESSEE, THURSDAY EVENING. AUGUST 23,' lSCC.!, ' ;J :.: MOW l4Gp; way, they resorled to cheers for Forney, groans for Andrew Johnson, and finally moved off at the conclusion of the speech cheering forThad. Stevens. The crowd, in sympathy with the Convention, re frained from any defensive movement, but should there be a repetition of the outrage, there will undoubtedly be a free fight, as the attendants upon the delega tion are in force to the number of fully fifty thousand within the city limits. -. " Forney has just made a speech to this ruffianly throng, in which he aid that they had submitted for the last two days to a burning outrage and insult at the instance of bloody-handed Southern ers, who were now being fed and caressed in their midst." And the w.ll knowu special corres pondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, "Mack," glories in the shame of his own party us follows: "A number of speeches have been made, to night, but none of them of sulli cient importance to warrant a telegraph ic report. Messrs. Lew. Campbell, of Ohio, James S. Hollins, of Missouri, and Generul Uouaseau, of Kentucky,' made strong Johnson addresses in a public hall at tbe corner of Sixth And Race streets. A large and attentive audience was present. "A great deal of speaking was done at the hotels The crowds were of a mixed charucter, the Republicans, judging from tbe nature of the interruptions, being in the majority. " Mr. Hodgers, of New Jersey, at tempted fo speak, but was compelled to desist. He commenced a bitter attaek upon the Republican party 'as a negro loving party, and negro-voting party.' He hud not gone far when he was as sailed with yells and shouts of derision, intermingled wilh cheers for Thad. Stev ens, and Gen. Geary, Gen. Butler, and othe r Radical lenders, and his friends, (oaring a riot, inducej him to withdraw. Speakers of a more moderate tone were permitted to proceed, with now and then an interruption, inquiring, ' how about New Orleans ?' and, once or twice, a hurrah for old John Brown. These came from an organization known as 'The Boy in Blue,' composed princi pally of returned soldiers, belonging lo the Republican parly, who seemed, to have turned out in large force, and to he determined to court, rather than shun, a disturbance. " Attempts have been made to get Val biiiilighiini out in a response to a sere nade, but helms declined to appear thus fur. It is said by some that 'The Boys in Blue' have determined not to permit In in to speak, but. I do not know how niai-h truth there is in the statement. "The ' Boys in Blue ' seem to have taken possession of all the meetings in the neighborhood of the hotels. A New York ill-legate is speaking from one of the balconies ot Hie Continental, and the audience is constantly interrupting him wilii cries of ' You are a liar.' ' Hurrah for General Geary.' ' Hurrah for John Brown,' elc. lie asked his audience if they were in favor of negro suffrage, and they cried out, ' Yes, niggers are better than rebels.' " Change of Commanders at Richmond. The Albany Journal dwells upon the " bunishment" to Utah of that sterling officer, Gen. Terry, who, by his tfiorough going administration at Richmond, bus made himself obnoxious to all unrepent ant rebels. Of his successor, and of the reasons of the chango, the Journal says : " Gen. Schofield is a West Pointer, and a very respectable soldier. But he is ulsoa 'Johnson Conservative' and an enthusiastic supporter of ' my policy.' During the earlier period of the war, as commander of the Department of .Mis souri, he incensed nnd embittered every loyal man in the Stale by his shameful intrigues wilh the rebels who are now leading the ' clnybank ' faction, and by his namby-pamby, shilly shally method of meeting their atrocious combinations. Like MeClellan, he was carrying on the war with kid gloves and tufts of grass. Afterward, as a corps commander under Sherman, he did some very good fight ing; but he never was placed in a posi tion which made him odious to the reb els. The same reasons which prompted the banishment of tbe lion hearted and energetic Terry to the distant plains oj Utah, undoubtedly suggested the ap pointment of his inefficient and incapa ble successor. And the rebels of Vir ginia, have no reason , to , regret the change." The Richmond Whig exults over the change in the following strain : This has a very strong look like being "sot back." as old Sam Houston used to say. F'rom being first in power in the old Commonwealth of Virginia; lording it over the Capital of the Confederacy, lolling in the cushioned seat of the Presidential mansion ; gazed at by won dering tourists, and all that sort of thing, to a bark hut in the backwoods, with say ages for subjects and quaw for admi rers, is so great a difference os to remind us forcibly of those involuntary excur sions that Russian olhViuls sometimes make from the delightful taloim of St. Petersburg to the bleak regions of Sibe ria, finch a change could not possibly be at the request of tbe party making it, nor by inadvertence on the part of those requiring it. We are bound to suppose flint there is a cause; and if Gen. Terry will i nil u lire us in his Yankee privilege of guessing, we guess the cause, in his case, is that he has persistently and consistently mistaken Sumner, Chase, Thad. Steven, and their net, Tor the Uov eminent Favor toward them has been his standard of "loyalty;" and the lack of such favor here in Virginia has been his ground for representing rmr people as (liaiitl'eeted. nreverse and dangerous. We suppose the President, having discovered this, determined that a change was pro per. We the more readily entertain this theory because it gives ns reason to trust that the new commander is a man of dif ferent stamp, who will come among til prepared to look upon affairs from a dif ferent stand-point Did the Needle Gaa do it 1 In a recent review of the resnlts of the wnr in Germany, the London Timtt takes occasion to say that the " needle gun is king," just as it used to say in our war that "cotton it king;" and it gives this as a reason why a young and chival rous Emperor, who was six weeks before overeign ruler of a Slste of thirty-six millions of subjects, and commander-in-chief of nine hundred thousand men, and the head also of a Confederation by wnich two hundred thousand auxiliaries could le added to Li forces, was worsted in a ten days' campaign, and compelled to call in the aid of Napoleon. This is only another illustration of the way in which tome leaders of public opinion -Ttvr- 'i9 ' T LAKGKST :ITY CIKl!I.ATIO.. swing, like a pendulum, from one ex treme to anotlicr. The needle gun is no doubt an effective arnv as all well made breech-loading rilles are, particularly when, in addition to the time saved in loading, there is also time saved by dis pensing with the percussion cap or prim ing. But it is very questionable whether any considerable pail of the victorious course of the Prussian ni jiiy in June and July is attributable to this new arm. It is very clear to an uttentive reader of llio history of the cumpalgn that I'riiKSsia was thoroughly prepare I, wilh plans well matured, knowing well what alio wanted and where she would strike, witliMier arity corps well posted, so us to move with the utmost celerity upon the proper points; and that, on the other baud, Austria, although her action in the Diut precipitated belligerent movements, was m no sense prepared for such an emer gency as arose; and had no means at all equal to the occasion; did not have her troona concenLratcd at copvetilelit points; and had no apparent plan of campaign; was not to a condition to support her allies, nor were they in a coudition to advance to her support To these differences in the respective conditions.' of (lie two countries and their armies we are to look for the amuz ing results of that short cainpuigii, rather than to the effects of the needle gun. It was the difference between plan and o plan; between well-matured thought and no. thought at all; between the readiuess to net and the resolve to act at once and a lamentable state of unreadiness and want of fixed purpose. In a word, the Prussians thought, acted and moved wilh nil the rapidity of the swiftest movements of the first Napoleon, and the Austrians acted and moved as if they were yet afflicted with that weak ness which Bonaparte spoke of when he said, "Those Austrians will never learn the value of minutes." They not only lacked knowledge of the value of min utes, but avpeared ulso to place no value even upon days and weeks. PhU adelphia Ledger. Cholera Preventives. Cholera never attacks the body except -in its time of weakness; hence, as from the fast of the previous twelve hours or more, the body is weakened, breakfast should he taken before going outside the door in cholera times, and it gives a power of resistance against the poison ous qualities of an infected night air, and for the same reason, when the body is weak and tired by the labors of the day, it should not only be kept from the night air, but should be forlified by a warm ard early supper. . . ' F.xposure to the. hot sun of a sntntner mid day should be avoided, nor should uny labor or occupation be continued until exhnoBtion. The time to stop work is when the feeling of tiredness first be gins to force itself upon the attention. Kul only plain nourishing food, such as meat, bread, rice, the starches, with milk, eggs,, oranges and lemons. As fruit and vegetables in cities are sure to be more or less stale before they can be used, it is belter to discard them alto gether. Personal cleanliness is imperative, and scarcely needs to be insisted on. But all these things are useless against uncleuned houses and yards. Ench householder should make it u mutter of conscience to keep his dwelling and place of busi ness scrupulously clenn from cellar to altic, and from the miibile of the street to the rear of his lot. Do not let the mind be perplexed by questions as to the contagiousness, or probability, or the infectious nature of the cholera, or as to the value of a quar antine, for none of these thing will, of themselves, prevent an attack of cholera in any case ; but bear in mind alwaj that perfect and infallible exemption will be the result of personal and domiciliary cleanliness, of a plain and regular mode of living and of a composed, confident and fearless mind. Significant Cireular. The following significant circular is issued : Trk.isi bv Dkptkst, rKST, , 1 Kvmiie. K. 'M, lsio. J OmfK I NTKRN A l KKV Washington, Auk It has been represented to Ibis office that in gome instances Assistant Asses sors have used their official positions to Secure the nomination to local offices; and it is urged that their relation to the tax payer is such that they may use the position to their personnl advan tage if so disposed. It is also believed that the position of a candidate forollice before the people is unfavorable '.o that strict impartiality which is so essential to the proper discharge of the duties of Assistant Assessor. The Secretary of the Treasury has therefore directed that notice be issued that the acceptance of a nomination for nn elective of fice by nny Assistant Assessor will bo taken as evidence that he no longer desires to retain his position. Assessors are instructed to promptly furnish the name of an assist ant who may accept or who is known to be seeking a nomination for any such office, in order that a successor may bo forthwith appointed. liios. Habi.av, Act. Com'r. Business in Boston. While New York merchants are com plaining generally as to the dullness of business in that city, the Boston whole sale houses of nil sorts are reaping a golden harvest. The Post, of the latter city, says that business is just now ex ceedingly lively ; in (act more so in some branches of trade than has been seen for several years. Southern and Western merchants are making very heavy pur chases there. The aggregate sales o( one day in boots and shoes is reported at $1,500,000. The clothing houses are equally active, more so than in some other departments of trade. Thus, if indications are not deceitful, wholesale jobbers in the Fat will be unusually Dusy 111 irnuic lor vue neAi pranuu. j o,n trade opens with the first week in August. In the same connection, it is stated that the shipments of boots and shoes by tbe manufacturers of Worcester has been unprecedentedly large during Wednes day and Thursday cf this week, amount ing to 5322 cases. The rush will con tinue for several days, as there have been large stocks accumulated by manu facturers here for a few weeks past. Nearly 10,000 cases will probably be for warded this wk. Loidon Tea Driaking. Ixindon sells and consumes an enor mous quantity of tea, and during the first six months of the present year Im ported fiS.Jo,6.17 pounds of black tea and o.r.20,115 pounds 'of green. During the same period of last year there were imported into that city 57,620,02(5 pounds of black tea and 9,200,235 pounds ef green. London tea drinkers prefer black tea to green, and those who cling to tbe latter, seem to be gradually j growing smaller in number. Last year six pounds of black tea were imported for every pound of green, whilst this year the proportion is about fen to one. E PUCATIONAL. i. ST. AGNES ACADEMY.
