Our ritteburgh, Penn., loiter shows another city

state into which it has been plunged hy tho

Tho statement (hat tlie Canal Connu(arion
has onlcred certain contractors to produce
their books, and means to enforce the
order, is au indication that although the
Commission has been very quiet about its
work it is doing it well. There is no good
reason why an honest contractor should refuse
to obey such a requirement, and the Commis?
sion is right in persisting in its demand.

In the trial now going on nt Columbia,
South Carolina, ex-Treasurer Nilcs (?. Parker
has an Opportunity of proving that the King
of Carpet-hagg?*rs who so long controlled
tin* finances of thal State were not so blackus
they have been painted. The evidence printed
to-day shows pretty clearly that ij?500,000 in
"oii)ions were stolen or illegally issued from
tin; treasury; it remains to he seen who was
the thief.
Some new causes for the victory of our lifle
li .in at I'ollymount are added hy the mail**.
Our men ?seized fr?quent opportunities for
practice; the Irish only took ?i few hours for
this purpose, the ?lay befoie the match. After
Ihe shooting at 900 yards bogan on the 39th,
the sun caine out: this was favorable t?> the
Americana-, says Tlie London Times, bemiM
tim Irish are ls*tter used to cloudy
weather. Lah; dfapoaahei state that the
Scotch team started for Wimbledon befoie our
riflemen reached Glasgow. This dispels the
hops of a test of skill between the Americans
?ntl ihe present holders ol' the Elcho shield, at
all events till after the British International
Hatch.
Two notable educational ns-ociat ions?the
American Institute of Instruction at Fiovi
denco and the University Convocation at
Albany?have eland annual sessions of un?
usual interest. The. proceedings of each have
been reported in our columns, and their clos?
ing exercises aro described to-day on our
fourth page. One of the most interesting papers
read Itefore tho Institute, was that of Miss Anna
c. Bracket! of this city on " Tlie Belatioa of tho
"Medical and Kducational Professions," of
which we give an abstract. In the University
Convocation Mr. William Channing bussell,
Vice-Fresidcnt of Cornell University, deliv?red
an earnest and instructivo address in eulogy
of th? late Ezra Cornell.
Again unfavorable reportai so far as Unding
gold is concerned, -come to us from the Black
Hills. The eoenapondenee which wa print to?
day shows that while there may be gold there
in quantities that would pay for extraction
when capital and machinery are, brought to
bear on a large seale, even that is uncertain.
Tho "poor miner's paradise," where placet
diggings and hand washing are profitable, is not
in any of the gulches which the expedition hal
yet visited. The miners there have many ex?
planations of their want of success up to the
present time. As explanations they are plaus?
ible. But the fact remains that all the gold
hitherto found in the Bindi Hills is about
enough to make a toothpick apiece tor the In?
dian liiug. _
Filling the llailem Flats, or rather the
npnlication of the Hoard of Health for nn
appropriation of f.'iO.OOO for that purpose, is
made a special order of the Hoard of Estimate
and Apportionment to-day. The people ol' this
city expect from the members of that Hoard
the exhibition of a better spirit in regard to
this important matter than has been shown
by some of the Aldermen. Tho Mayor
on Saturday favored the plan of transferring
an unexpended balance of Health Department
appropriations, amounting to something over
$20,000, to the work of filling in the Flats.
Whether by the transfer of unexpended bal?
ances or in what way you will, gentlemen of
the Board of Apportionment, the people of
New-York expect that this outrageous nuisance
at Harlem shall lie abated, and abated effe? tu
all.v, and the quicker the means for it are fur?
nished, within due warrant of law, the better.
The statements of Capt. McDonald of the
Eighth 1'olice Precinct, made to the Bpedal
Committee of the Assembly on Friday, that
the evil resorts in Greene-st. and Woostor-st.
were so kept in chock hy the police that the
offensive obtrusion of vice in its worst forms
no longer existed there as of old, are so flatly
contradicted by the cxjierience of persons who
have to ride up town in Broadway cars as to
lead to the inference that the Captain does not
kuow, and perhaps does not wish to know,
nearly s?i much about his precinct as lie
should. The personal observations of some
mataban of the Select Committee, who
were much surprised by Capt. McDonald's as?
sertions, convince them that the half was not
told them. In the Eighth Frecinct and in
other parts of the city they found so much of
revolting indecency and conspicuous v*ice ex?
isting without interference from the police as
to till them with disgust and indignation?feel?
ings which will lie shared by every person who
cares for the fair fame of this city. If the la?
bors of tho Bpadal Committee shall spur the
pilli.?' to a crusade against the dens of infamy
and crime which so abound in New-York, it
will not have lived in vain.
Although the time allotted by law for gather?
ing the census statistics of the city expired a
week ago, and tho extended time has only
three days to run, returns aro yoi lacking from
ninety-seven of the five hundred and fifty
seven election districts. The returns already
tiled, however, give a fuir idea of the manner
in which the work hue been perfoiined. and
I furnish material for the estimates an?! sum- I
mary of results given in another cohuna of ;
Till. Thiii'jnk. The attccffl in charge of the
cuu-aiu? belle ve that the Uilul ??onulaUou ot (he
city will not fall short of 1,200,000;
and while some of this incmw-M-i most
bi- cie?*lted to tho reoently anuexed wards
ii must lie admitted that the actual increase in
tho older portions of tho city has been veiy
large. Indeed we haye the fignros to show
that a singlo Ward (the Nineteenth) has
14,000 more inhabitant* now than were re?
ported live years ago. In 1870. according to
the genera! census of that year, tho total pop
ulation of the city was 020,341. Of course
the work of enumeration ha? not been exempt
this time from the drawbacks heretofore
found; but there is reason to believe that it
has boen ?lone a little better than usual, and
the r? : ult. xvhilc more or less imiccurate, will
be iu? near the tru.h us we can arrive under
any sy.atem of census-taking yet devised.
ONE CHANCE LEFT.
The "Republican party in most rcgi-un his

expression of opinion against a second rc
cle-ilion. Two or three Southern State Con?
ven'. ?o-is, it is true, hnvo persisted in nomi?
nating the President for his own succ?issioii,
but in every considerable Northern State the
Republicans have seized upon his modified
disclaimer of candidacy as an excuse for de?
claring against his continuance in power after
next year. From this time foi ward, until the
Republican Convention meeta next Spring, wi?
nced expect to hear very little i.i favor of the
expediency or necessity of his nomination, ex?
cept lioni an occasional gathering of tim Hes?
ters and Caseys of the South, or from tin* half
articulate muttering* which mingle with the
clatter of the. culinary utensils handled by the
kitchen organ at Washington, liven the most
devoted of the President's adherents fed that
they can now safely waive the question of his
candidacy? The post musters in a thousand
villages could say the morning after we printed
Oen. ('rant's Whito letter, "I held some slack
" allegiance till now, Hut now inv swonl's my
?'own."1 Tlie smaller fry of third term people
have aln.uly begun to seattet their ti? rot?oU
among their local great men, and they are
doubtless writing by hundreds to Mr. Blaine,
Mr. Moiton, and even incurring the expense
of ocean postage to assure Mr. \\"ashburne iliai
he is tlie only man who in their opiniou can
heal the wounds of the Commonwealth.
Hut then is a little ring of Third Term peo?
ple who never will give ep until the Consti?
tution and the almanac both stand in their
way. They still trust that Geo. ('r.uit is
stronger than any other one candidate, and
that local jealousies and prejudices will pre?
vent a union of the Ihpublii ins on any oin?
else. They take heart of hope in hearing New?
Y'ork men nay Blaine is a bright fVIInxv but?
and then diverge into references to those
mighty powers contracted in pent-up I'tica; in
hearing lkistow damned with faint puise in
Wisconsin, and \\'ashburne men mildly but
firmly reminded in Indiana that M is true the
West should always have the l'l.'s'dent, but
threo times ruimirig is as much as Illinois can
modestly demand. Unless, during the coming
Winter session, some one lh-puhlican shall take
by force of merit and character the undisputed
post of leader in the patty, it is going to lie
difficult tm- a national convention to nominate
a strong and available candidate. This is the
foundation of the hope yet entertained by sin
c<re ('runt men. There comes an hour in
every political con vei.lion when a strong anil
Organised movement by men of xxiii and pur?
pose can cary anything. Judd nominated
Lincoln at Chicago by his disposition of the
Seats, so that the. doubtful delegations should
be caught bj the contagious yells of the Bau
splitters Supporten. The nomination of Bey?
moor at the very instant when the programme
called for the nomination of Chase was another
wonderful instanc?- of I convention stampeded
by a resolute movement of a few men.
The Republican Convention of next year is not
likely to be so Steady and wise as to make
Bach an incident impossible. If a long wrangle
Should tike ?.lace ov? r the platform and the
Organization, and if this should be followed by
a protracted series of ballots for a half dozen
candidates, when the patience and the nerves
of the delegates began to give way, tho
"psychological moment" would come. A man
of good presence, fair size, and strong voice?
like our own Senator for ?nstame, whoso
Gothic beauty seems made for such orr Ill-Mil?
could nominate Grant in a neat speech of three
minutes as the only savior of society, and the
convention might do the work required by
hysterical a??Lunation, before they knew what
was the inattei with them. This is the plan
i.ow talked about among the innermost circle
of the faithlul. It is not so absurd or im?
practicable as it might at lirst appear.
If such a thing should happen it would lie a
subject of regret only fiom one point of view.
It would iusure the election of a Democrat, and
whether this would prove a national dhUMter or
not depends largely upon the result of the
Ohio election this year. If Gov. Allen should
now be elect? d on a platform of inflation und
incipient repudiation, it would be well nigh
impossible to prevent tho samo detestable
principle! from controlling the Democratic
conventions of next year. The fact that an
election eau be carried by such means would re
enforce the ruscality latent in all political
organizations, so as to give an easy victory to
the advocates of linancial dishonesty. If the
(?rant scheme should then succeed a dilemma
of the most exasperating sort would be set
before the independent and intelligent voter.
The one side would say to him " You know
"what a Grant Administration is; do you
"want it for the rest of your lifer and the
other might respond with equal point, "Tho
"leading issue before the country is honesty
"or repudiation ; you know how Grunt stands
"on that."
But we will not take all these nightmares
for granted. Mr. Allen is not yet elected and
Grant is not renominated, und if the people of
common honesty and common MAM take a
little pains to prevent it, neither disaster will
happen. __________
roi ICE REORGANIZATION.
The change lately made in the Inspect??!1*
Department of the Police has enlarged the
responsibilities and increased the sAeieney of
several of the moat capable and ex pi ric need
officers who were previously tm m> many fifth
wheels to a very lumbering eonoh? Each of
the four Inspectors hi- Wen made dirccily
rcsponsible to the Superintendent for a di.-tin |
composed ot six or eight pie? lint? ox? i xxiii, li
.sii1m.ii1iii.iU' captains preside ; an organisation
analogous to the diwhioii, brigade and regi?
mental system of the army, giving to the
polie?? force something of military organisation
xx Iii. li it ne\ cr before p<?*>-?-??-ed, but xeiy
much ne? ?led.
laatoad of dividing the responsibility tm the
i-i ?.in i couiuiand of the force? tina v, ill iu et
feet concentrate it. Th? Superintendent 'will
he relieved from the ?msideration of many
details, and tritt thus bo given opportunity for
moro general study of hu* ooiumand ?md tho
requirements of the city which he is to defend.
These fonnerly onerous duties, now divided
among four Inspeetors, need not oppress
cither, and yet will require close and constant
attention from all. Each will now have the
watching and directing of flvo or six precincts.
Under tho former organir-ation the Stiperin
tendent had to know the ____*__? of thirty-five
precincts. This was so ne,?:iy impossible that
in tho pa?t each corrupt aaptma liecame a
little tyrant in Iii*? precinct, nii'.us
ing power rnd levying tribu..*. The ?
b_an___a__. and ao? tho Superintendent only, j
will heunftcr Ik? lu-ld n .?p.imdblc for the good j
conduit of the several captains umhr their i

'..It is i siibjicl of .?piillation, fHither, j
th.it the i,\"W organization ?jives tlie KtpOUl
Me din? lion o. the fort? to such men as
Walling, Dilks, Spcign?, Thorne, and MeDcr
mott, who have grown np with t?i<- ?orce, Mm
of whom it can be more, truly said than of any
other?, in the service, that they have made it a
tstnd.v and a puifftun. ?ind have w??n promo?
tion less hy political intlneiice Uian hy personal
effort.
Dut after all, this change doe? not go to tim
roo! <?f I he ?'vii. We ?lo not iiman to say that ,
tin- present Commissioners can apply tim true
remedy. They Btaj reform tim police, bat !
cannot reform themselves. Tim radical defect
in the organization Be? in the method of ap?
point in? tho hoad,?in t!m .?election of the
Coiiiiiiis.'-ioneis thcm_s*?lve?i. The department
which of all others should l?e conducted upon
non-partisan principle-, it is the first which j
taeee___itl political parties attempt to _ei_e j
after each election. The ??ne which ought t<? !
lie the last to int?'rf?re in political movoiiieiitH,
it is the branch of local government, which ex?
ercises the greatest intlneiice at all election.-.
And that they may be us? ful to the dominan!
pftlty, Commissioners have hitherto been chosen
for their active devotion to their political
leaden. Personal ttHtlni-y ou the late Mayor
Davern? ycr's part and a little common senso
on the part of Mayor Wickham have given us
a Hoard lan objectionable ou this score than
many which preceded it ; hut it is hy no
meant perfect. And f?>r ??hvious naaoni it
cannot he. The method of appointment and
removal, the uncertainty of the tenure and
term of service, the lack of incentive to effi?
cient conduct, detCf instead of attracting the
beal sen ice of UM best men. There is nothing
to induce a man, hy hope of preferment, to
Kit?- np his ltiisiiK-ss or pm__a_ion for the un?
certainty of servi?'?' on a commission of this
kind. Not until there is absolute divorce be?
tween the police and political organizations
can there bo hope ol' a thoroughly good police.
it is dillie ni i t*? tell bow such a reform is to
lie brought about (save by constant agitation
of tim question), hut the truth remains the
nanie that the great di feet in the New-York
polic?' lies with Um head.
EOT IN TEAT ETTIE
A number of post-oliico ?'lerks are roporl?-d
to have appli?-?l to Mr. Jewell tor advice under
exa-peratiiig dillicultics. The political collector
is ?.oing aumin! willi his contribution box.
making up a pin se as usual for the Autumn
cainnaign, and the clerks are anxious to know
if they really must pay. The penalty of re?
fusal heretofore has been well understood, and
they dare not face it. Bat they have heard a
great deal lately ?iliout reform in the atlminis
ti.ilion, about a n<\t- era in politic*?, about an
application of bu iness principle?, to the man?
agement of publi ? allais, and especially about
? thorough renovation of the Poat-OfBtt De?
partment ; and it hits occiiiied to them as just
barely possible that tin- Civil Sit vice Kule
which prohibits political ______________ is at last
to be recognized by tim authority which en?
acted it. So they apply to the Po-tauMter
QaiMfal for instructions. Mr. Jewell, however,
has nothing to say, and it is not iiujioKsihh.
that hi? is quilt- as much in the dark as his
subordinates.
We think we may safely assure the per?
plexed office-holders that refOMB will never bo
carried so far?at any rate by this Administra- '
tion?as to cut oil the principal source of tim
party revenues. The l'resideut's prohibition of
political assessments was never allowed to in
t? rfere with the practice for a moment, and
was never intended to. And the Administra?
tion certainly is not going to begin now to
keep titi hands out of the Dockets of its ser?
vants when it? existence depends upon carry?
ing the next ?State elections,?anti when tim
Civil Service Huies too have be?'n abolished in
consequence of the neglect of Congress to do
something?? we never exactly understood what
?to prevent the President from violating his
own regulations. There are some reforms on
loot; several of the Departments uro making
laudable efforts to collect their dues and to
punish private citizens tor cheating;the Got
? rnineut ; but as for stopping the exactions of
the Government levied by its political agents
?oh, that is a different matter altogether.
Geu. Graut is not that kind of a reformer.
THE BLOOD OF THE GA ROWE.
Details by mail bight? n the terrors of the
picture of devastation caused by the floods in
Bontben France. Four largo and several
smaller streu ma descending from dL-tant
mountain sid? s, unite in tho Uiver Garonne
liefore it reaches a level country where its
l?ed is shallow and its banks are low.
This is one of the five great rivers of
France. The basins of the Rhone, the
Seine and the Garonne are of nearly equal
area; that of the Loire is somewhat larger ;
but only the Rhine greatly surpasses any
of these rivers in the extent of its tratar*?
shed. Here then were all the elemeuts for
inundation : a large, shallow river in a flat
valley, drawing its supply from numerous
mountain sources and a wide area. On its
banks is the City of Toulouse, the seventh
in the order of size of the large towra
of France. Its principal suburb, St. Cyprieii,
is on the other side of the river from the main
city, and wau connected by three bridges. This
suburb is on low ground, and the river touches
it on three unies, as if it w? re built upon a
cape jutting into the stream. lu the night, |

WITCHCRAFT IS KENTVCET.
Mr. Charles \V. Upham, who died the other
day in Salem, was the author of au excellent
monograph upon the Salem Witchcraft, the
most satisfactory history of that lunacy ever
printed. Mr. Upham at some future time may
have a SUCCCSSOr who will discuss the delusions
and dreams of our own day, and prove us not.
much wiser, if u little more tolerant, than our
fathers. The passion for tho marvelous, the
incredible, the supernatural, tterret die* out al?
together" and ti.ere are always those who aro
ready to follow tho schoolman and to believe
a thing merely because it is impossible. Of
course, there are more bcliCTCrs now in Witch?
craft than there were ?n that dark day of cre?
dulity and cruelty ; but the number cannot be
settled by the census, ami the wild faith takes
too many forms for classification. There is,
however, a certain sameness in these aberra?
tions?there is the bewitched, tho bewitcln r,
and a go-between or niciliuiii, usually be
longing to the animal kingdom. This want ol'
original method, this sticking to old formulas
and PCOOOSBOS. Urould be the lio-st refutation
possible of the error if, to begin with, it did
not relate itself. Those who are als.ve natu?
ral law should be above any established
routine and independent of d?-lined processes;
and if a witch ii b.ue to be found out by her
care of a cat or a goat, or any other four
legged familiar, why, with her power of
change, should she employ such an assistant f
Why not rid herself of such a witness against
keri But WC ure lapsing into a serious argu?
ment against what is only laughable, living
tempted to do so by a new story of wit? lierait
which comes to us from Cliuton, Ky., where
women even at this time of day havo been
accusing other women of bewitching them.
There u Miss Berry had a vision of tho male
variety. The lato Mr. McDonald visited her in
the form of an angel and doctor,vnnd told her
what mediciuo to take for a disease which
troubled her. The prescription is not given,
but it was PH. J?hei. Camp., as likely as any?
thing. Angel McDonald likewise informed
Mis.s Berry t?ut sundry neighboring ladies were
witches, mid would como to her nouso in the
form of cats and do her some great injury.
Then Angel McDonald went to the place ap?
pointed l'or Lim; und we tiU?t that he will
stay there.
Cats? i hese were tho convincing features of
tho revelation. If tho seraph had said tigers,
or hyenas, or dodos, or megatheriums, nobody
would havo believed him; but when ho Raid
.Cats!?it was so natural, you know! Number
of cat? in that vicinity; Lady-cats, Thomas
eats, night-walkers, catorwaulers, roof-scramb?
lers, fence-Jumpers, garden-scratchers?cat? of
dissolute and reprehensible ways?cata of a
gravity so profound ?as to bo suspicious! All
the Berrys at once believed in the cats, and
carno to tho coinda sion that tho ladiea who
owned the cats should be put to death, accord?
ing to the law of the Scriptures, which were
duly searched. But thero waa a boy Berry,
who suggested, boy-like, that it wouJd be
better lirst to let bim try his hand and a few
buck-shot upou the cats. So ho took his gun,
and in a proud and delightful frame of mind
went alter the supernatural animals, with in?
tent niortully to poppet them. Unfortunately
he couldn't start the game ; and, being con?
vinced that the cats and the ladies were identi?
cal, ho proceeded to the house, determined
to pepper tho ladies, who could trans?
form themselves inio tabbies and resume
tho feminine form at will. Things were
hulking a little too much like manslaughter to
lie comfortable; aud so upon proper complaint,
boy Berry and all the rest of the Berrys were
marched to the linkup, to the great delighi of
the cats. In that donjon the family con?
tinued to asseverate their betfef that the la?!ies
were witches ami also cats, and should be put
to death. It was then suggested to them that
tink'ss they changed their opiuhms suddenly, they
would b?' conducted in a body ta the Insane
Asylum. The argument was conclusive. They
admitted that they "might he mistaken."
The Judge thought that it would Is* just as
well if they should give bondi (in $000 each)
not to shoal anybody ; ind they pain them.
Whether this bond covers the cats of the
vicinage, we are not informed. Wv hope so.
That is, if they are bOttClt, weil-lnhavcd cats,
that "sleep o' nights." Tlie world does .ed*
vauce a little. Two hundred years ago there
would have lieen a hanging; and it wouldn't
h?i\e been u hanging of the i.it.s.
