The greatest objection to the trans action !'es agaiutit the mystery in which Commiasicaer Stein envelopes it. If in fants are to be smuggled into the County lntirmary by a County Commissioner who kiudly covers up the important matter of /uentage, it :a easy to see that the county is put in the immoral attitude of encourag ing a looseuees of social relations not con Native to the welfare of the community. Taxpayer1* do not maintain the lntirmary for this purpose. Tin: ant-machine or Keform Democracy ot Cincinnati isgoiug right ahead with its work, ami there is to be a convention Sep tember s to put a Democratic ticket in the fold. Mr. Mcl.eau's Does ticket is already there, and will stay. Hamilton county ia already won by the ltepublicane, so that tie Reform Democrats can not fairly bo ?accused of placing their party ticket in jtcpardy. They have merely asserted their manhood and protested against the degra foion of their party. It begins to look u though Senator Pendleton wai a little beforebanded when he declared that he tal neither previous knowledge of nor sympathy with the protesting movement. I' it sliallappear that the protestanta reprt aeat tbe party in Hamilton county the ?Vnator will find himself between the devil and the Jeep sea; for, being out with bis former frienJe he ia certain to be opposed to the death by hi* peraistent enemies.

C^rrtrpondei ice qf the JiUdligaicer. Yellowstone National Paiik, W. T.t August 14.?In my last letter you will re member we bad tiuiahed up the "Norris Geyser Basin." Next morning, after an early breakfast, we set out afreali upon our jour ney, and once more visited the "Norris Geyi<er Uasin" on our way, stopping awhile to take in again the wonderful scene. The air being very frosty the steam condensed, and it seemed as if we were in the "misty mid region of Weir" that Poe describes in "I'llalurae," where the "dark tarn of | Auber" emitted such mephiticsmells. The peculiarity and diversity of these number less pools und springs is not less remarka ble than the?r number. The water ii of almost every color as are the crystalliza tions from the water and steam. There are mud fountains?as well as fountains of purest ray serene?where in large pools you will see a soapy foam overspreading very muddy lookim: water, which is boiling and seething with tremendous energy. There are fountains where you will Bee all the colors of the rainbow reflected, making you feel as if you were in an enchanted region where tne genii are mixing colors for artisls. After leaving the Norris basin our route lay along the Gibbon river and in the course of the forenoon jire passed through the canyon wherein ore to be seen its fails ?eighty feet high?and its narrow rapids. At the head of Gibbon canyon we came into what is called the "Paint Pot" region of the park?one of the most peculiar of its many attractions. There are naid to be 500 mud and boiling spriogs in this locali ty, which comprises several acres. These mud pools seem to be in a chronic condi tion of agitation and busily engaged in blowing all sorts of mud curiosities into the moetgrotesque shapes. Besides these boiling mud fountains there are a great number of char limpid springs and one of the most beautiful emerald fountains to be met wiili in the park is seen here. Space would fail me to attempt to de scribe to your readers the various springs, pools, fountains and geysers to oe met with on the road to what is called the ''Upper basin" where we made our princi pal Halt in the geyser regions. There is the "Monument"geyser basin, the"Lower" geyser basin, the "Middle" basin and at last the "Upper" basin. All have their pe culiarities and attractions,but details would weary your readers. While it is true that almost every geyser has its own iudividu ality yet of course there is a general same ness in them all. To see one big geyser throwing a column of water 150 to 175 feet high, with a diameter of 'Jo to 30 feet, is to see them ail throwing up at various heights with various diameters, OLD FAITHFUL. Our first sight of a great geyser was at the "Upper Basin," which we reached be tween Ave and six o'clock ia the evening, and where soon afterwards "Old Faiihfal," as it is called, went ofl wllh considerable preliminary noise, not unlike the noise of a great steamboat blowing oil' steam at her water line, after which followed the grand outburst and the shooting up of an immense column of water 175 feet into ti e air. This "Old Fsithful" does once every sixty-live minutes on an average, and hence be is a great favorite among visitors who are eager to to see an eruption soon after their arri val as u reward for their wearisome ride. Then, too, there is the "Beehive" geyser, which goes off every eight hours, and throws up a larger ana higher column,last ing fully live minutes, and making a pro portionally greater roar. He, too, is a favo rite. At the "upper basin" we tarried over a dav, resting in our tents and walking around over the whole basin, inspecting all the noted geysers and great pools. We could stand by the base cf "Old Faithful" and look down the basin for about four miles along the valley of the iTirehole rivor and we could see the steam going up here and there like the "smokeol their torment" a score or more cf principal geysers, some ?il them having craters 10 feet high, others havlnssimply a great orifice in the lava beds. Go which way you will down the valley, to the one side or the other of Kirehole river, ibrougljuutthis basin of four eiiuare miles, and you BOQje upon one of these geysers or upon aornn great fountain or pool of boiling and bubbling water. The whole basin is full of them and hot water runs tlown over the ledges stall points into the river, so raisiog the temperature of Its waters mat no species of auimal life can exist in that stream. At one place cloee beside the bankB where a fonntuln ran in we bathed in the waters of the "Firehole," and while close to the shore the wati r was so hot that we could not bear it yet .1 feet further out it was cool enough?so cool that we were glad to keep a? near the hot water line as poisible. HUU'llCIt MOUNTAIN. After having done the geyst r basins suf ficiently, we set out for the great falls of the Yellowstone, forty miles distant, going through over the mountains and utreams by a sort of forced march lit one day, rest ing at noon (or an hour in (li-- shade by the side of a mountain brook to oat our lnneh find let our hordes gram at the end of their rupee pn the rich Dull do grass. Our route took in til? famous Sulphur mountain and spriag, objects of great curi osity to our party. The mountain, as it is called, is a pyramid along side of thr.sprlsg, about seventy live feet higli, and Is a de posit of sulphur, Bom? of it as appirentlv pure brimstone as ever jo i taw it it) p roll of sulphur. The spring or pool isa yery large one and is in a tremendous state of agitation, its waters boiling furiously and throwing themselvei out convulsively over the sulphurous lava beds all around. As one of the party remarked, "if the devil is not at the bottom of th's pool 1 don't know where you would go to look for him." Passing On we reached the falls of the Yellowstone just bofore sundown, every body quite |iued with their long rid* and unite willing to omit a visit to the f*|la un til the next morning. A lew of the brethren who bad brought rods, reels and files ?1th tljetn rushed down to the rapids antj hook ed a ('? #ae specimens of tront. And thus (he adventures of the day end. d. jvtf'vnext morning, kf .r h^u)tlja',we mounted our horses and f jllowlng the tend nf "Jackson", our faithful and intelligent gulile, we wound along the mountain pith ell route to the lulls and tn I lift great can yon of the Yellows one. first *fi halted at the upper cataract and disnwnntini from our steeds wa ked to an overhanging ledge of i-cks and saw the water ruslilig and (coping over ? precipice 105 fad high. Next we pafseil on down to the lower falls, anil again dismounting t'eacendcd by a narrow and s'eep pith to the very brink, where a platform lor proteaiou had b?en erected, on which we stood and gs??d In astonishment at the (treat leap of the water* over the falls to an abyss 300 teet below. an *wx-is3Pikiso srasa. It wae an awo inspiring sight, and some how the wildnecs of tha wens all around, and the presence of the great, ilasp and narrow canyon below, through which the waters threaded on their way between walls of rock at apparently no greater width than Wheeling creek, invested the spot with a tragic character more pro* nounced than one is apt to feel at Niagara. Here on the great Rocky Mountains, in a wild and lone spot, we saw the greatest and grandest of the tributaries of the Missouri, the beautiful Yellowstone, hurry ing on its way, impatient of distance' and shortening its course by these tremendous leapa in search of a lower level. After gazing at this fascinatine scene for an hour our party of horsemen gradually and as beat as they could, plimbed the long and ateep mountain path,pulling and blow ing at every step, until ouce more they were on the brow of the canyon, and then remounting they rode on down through t he pines and firs until they gaiued a ledge that stood out prominently oyer the gorge and afforded a line opportunity for a good view up and down this deep and tortuous ravine. We had with ua Arthur Brown, a well known English water color painter, and a member of the Roval Society of Artists, who had come over on purpose to sketch scenes in the Yellowstone Park, tie Wtta perfectly enchanted with the scene be fore him, and said that no where on earth that he knew of could another such sight he witnessed, llo spoke of the tout ensem ble, the falia, the crags, the canyon and the diversity and riohneesof the coloring. a. w. e.

No bodies have been found since yesterday and the belief strengthens that there are noue in tho wreck, except only two or three. The list of the missing is being gradually thinned out as those supposed to have gone down on the steamer or who were really passen gers are heard from as safe in this city or at their homes up the river.

J., August 2U.?There is not a place on our beach front that has not been damaged some by the heavy tide and surf to-day. The total loss will not be less than $50,000. Long before high water, wnich was at G o'clock, the board walk began to wash away by the high water. Along the centre of the city was a mass ?of debri*. Bath houses, restaurants, photograph gal leries and stores with dwellings attached, which were built so far from the surf it was thought no sea could reach them, were undermined and carried bodily into the ocean and beaten by the waves into fragments. The tide has fallen a little though and great anxiety is felt about the next high water, as the wind is from the northeast,is no-eas ing. aud should it continue until higher water tomorrow the damage will be more than double of that of to day. The surf was the heaviest ever seen here, Kcfouut Collection*. Wasiiixoton, D.

WHAl' lint III'. Tbc Cir.at Wislicn Kee|c littf lloHUly lu Hie Field. Cincinnati, August 2l>.?Judge Hoadly has been contlned to his homo on Eibt Waluut Hills for a week by a malarial at tack. The anxieties of the cunvass have been trying to him, but there is no good ground for the report, that he has been broken down physically, lie is capable of a great amouut of labor, and could proba bly speak every night during the campaign without great fatigue. His trouble lies iu his sensitiveness. Ho feels keenly what is Baid about him. Although very ambitious, and in spite *of the fact that his plans all depend u]>on success in the present con teat, he has been so affected by the asuauus ul Republicans and the eoldueaa of Democrats that he has. wore thau once impulsively declared that he would withdtaw from the contest. These tils of diecourugementhave caused anxiety to his friends, became of the dan ger that the Judge, when feoling that way, will say something within the hearing of Borne one who will circulate it, and there by greatly damage his cauvass. A cor respondent hue been informed that on one occasion when 'he Judge was particularly restive, a message wus dispatched by his immediate frienus to Mr. Tildeu to explaiu to him how tho Judge was feeling, and bring back a message of encouragement from the Sage, aud his pergonal request thai Judge t loudly should dismiss thoughts of retiring from thb contest. This your correspondent has from a yeutieman who Baya he had talked with the messenger. Hoadly holds Tildt-n in the highest vener ation, and since this little ruse to remind him of Tilden's interest in his canvass he is said to have ceased his talk of withdraw* iug. It is a little singular that this should have occurred just at the time of serious demands withiu his party that he be re moved from the ticket.

All tho leading manufacturers were represent ed. The Committee on Wa ges reported the following acale of wages which is the same submitted by them to the workmen at tho recent con ference in Pittsburgh. For blowing, 10 per cent reduction on the present Hat I jr single strength and 20 per cent reduction Dn double strength. X^or gathering. U5 per cent of the blowers' wages for single, and 52} to 55 per centon double strength. By this reduction of the schedule, ac cording to the manufacturers, single strength blowers will make $100 to $115 per month, and double strength blowers ?150 and upwards. Sirgle strength tend ing bus will make $70 per month, and double' irtrength will make $100 per month, and llitteners, double Btrength 8125. The manufacturers assert this makes i total reduction of 5 per cent, which they claim has been offset by changes in the tariff. This is claimed to be the ultimatum ?jl tiie mannf ictureri, and that 70 per cent, of all in the country ha?e pledged them selves uneomprolnisiiiglv to abide by it. Manufacturer all declare that they look lor a long fight, but expect to win in the ?nd. They further assert that the union of workers in glais is one of the strongest in thecountry, but has grown arbitrary and dictatorial to a degree where they are com pelled to make the light offensive.

FIRES OF INFERNO STIRRED BY THE DEMONS OFDEAT> ConmUo the Volraaoei of Java Which Vomit Fort) the Planica of Ueaolatior, kid Jolaed by the Baddeaed Hea Sweep Thoaaaada of People into KteraItj. London, August -'J.?A d is hatch fron Batavia, Java, says the towns ol ADj?r, Tjiringene and Tolokobelong were destroy ed by volcanic eruptions. All the lighl houses in Suuda Straits have disappeared, and where the mountain of Kramatia for tnerly stood the sea now flows. The aspect of Suuda Straits is much changed and nav igation is dangerous. The tidal wave com pletely destroyed Aujer. Many persona were killed, and the loss of life at North Bantam is enormous. The latest advices show that the volcanic eructions in this island are much more serious than at first indicated. The dis turbances begun on the island of Krakatra, in the Strait of Sundu, about fifteen miles off tbe coast of Java. The deep rumblings were distinctly audible at Surakerta and Batavia, about forty flyo and twenty two miles off respectively. little alarm was felt at lirat, but within a few hours showers of htones began to fall at Joukjokerta, .Surabaya and Z*rang. All through the night showers of red-hot rocks and asbes fell, making complete darkness in these towns. In B.itavia there was an occasional fail, and it was difficult to keep the street lights burning in the European quarter. TIDAL waves. On Sunday morning the disturbances 1ml extended beneath the waters of the Strait, and they were soon boiling and hissing violently, whilo great waves dashed upon the Javanese share?, and the temper ature of the eea went up nearly 'JO degrees. Even as lar away from the original point of disturbance as Madura the furious waves were lashed into mountains of foam j as the^ came rolling iu. The threatening rumblings gradually became more and, more distinct, and by noon the Malta Meru, the largest of the volcanoes of Java was belching forth flames at a very alarming rate. In is eruption soou spread to the UunungTengger, (the crater of which is the largest in the world, being nearly four miles in diameter, the Uunung Ciuntur, and may other minor mountains until more than a third of the forty-five craters of Java were either iu active.eruption or seriously threatening it. VOMITING DEATH ANI) DESOLATION. Just before dusk a ureal luiuiuous cloud formed over tbe ^nung Guntur, and ttie crater of that vo?no began lo vomit up enormous streams of white acid and sul phurous mud, besides smalltr quantities of lava. There were rapi lly successive ex plosions, followed by irumendous showers of cinders and enormous fragments, which were hurled high into the air and scattered in all directions, to fall, after the force was spent, upon the vallbys below, carrying death and destruciion. Men, women and children rushed in ter ror from their totteriug dwelling-places,] tilling the air with their shrieks ot horror.: Hundreds were unable to get out before the houses fell, and were buried beneath the great intsi ol rocks and mud which were piled up where a few hours before all had been peace, happiness and fancied se curity. THE Itu.suISO WATEIUi. As the eruptions increased in frequency and violence the disturbance of the waters surrounding the barren coast become more and more violent. Here waves ruthed in territic force up the steep, rocky incline, breaking upon the overhanging crags and receding rapidly leaving a lava flow cooled just at the moment when it was about to tall over a precipice, and then remaining, quickly burdened by contact with tne waters and forming a distinct 6trata of black and * bright red, purplo and browu all thrown about in eccentric masses, while hujje peaks of basalt rose at frequent intervals. There the waves came roiling over a marshy plain along the shore, suddenly engullinga hamlet ol fishermen's rude housts, .and turning suddenly back swept away almost every vestige of what had a moment before been a scene of bustling activity where family after family had been rushing around iuu vftin endeavor to eave their ef fects fr?m the awlul combination ot ele ments threatening them. KEA11KUL DESTRUCTION OF LIKE. At the entrance of Batavia was a large group of housts extending along the shore, and occupied by Chinamen. This part of the city was entirely swept awpy, and of the Si,000 Chinese who lived on this swampy plain, it is hardly probable that more that 5,000 munaged to save their lives. They stuck to their homes until the waves that washed them away came, fear ing the torrents of flame and Java of the interior more than the torrents of water from the exterior. Tbe population of Europeans and Amer icans in lUtavia suffered a loss ot per. hai'H ?00 souls out of 35,000 whites living there. At Anger the Euro pean aud American quarter was tirst overwhelmed by rocks, mud and lava from flie craters, and then the waters came up and swallowed the ruins, leaving nothing to mark the site, and causiug the Ipb* of some where in tlio neighborhood of 2,000 lives of the inhabitants ?i)d thcai who had tried to flnd'a refuge there. Since noon yesterday everything is quiet, Bky clear and communication with Sarong restored. The temperature fell ten degrees Monday, but is now normal. The town is covered with a thin layer of ashes, which was so hot when falling that it killed birds. Telegraph linemen report that while impair ing the liue near ^nier early Monday they saw a high column ol Eca approaching with a roaring noise. They Hid without learn* ing the fate of the inhaljitiqjtf. The quar ries of tferafc b*vo disappeared aud all tbe people of the place have perished. A He I of Yiilctitatft. Java and the adjoining islands ot the Indian Archipelago may be termed a nest of volcanoes, all of which are in a constant Btate of activity. Earthquakes and erup tions are, consequently, of frequent occur rence in that lively portiou ot' the globe. In 1571 there were sixteen distinct earth quakes rrgistered throughout the Island. In 184:$ Mount Gunter flunj? forth ashes and sand to the extent of 30,000,000 tons*, by the great eruption oi Mount C^alung gung in 1822 no fewer than JH villages were laid waste, and J,000 persons destroy ed: in lfcUr an earthquake caused thp death of 1,000 people of the town of Jot|*karia alone; in 1871 the eruption of Merapi, one of the most active of the sixteen oriucipal volcanoes proved fatal to thousands ol the inhabitauts of Kadu. KTIIASOE VOLCANIC FOItMH. Besides the volcanoes themselves, there are a number of striking forms of volcanic activity to be observed ou the islands, such ss the so called mad volcano at {j'oboyan, the gas fountain* of holy flres of Melati Herat, and the fakaramau or Guiva Upas (Valley of Poison). Hot springs are *bun d*nu There is not a region ip the world can boast of so many volcanic eminences. Serang is the principal town of the resi dency of Hautam. It is only one hundred -I feet above the sea level. Anjer lies on the const at the narrowest part of tlie Sunda Straits and vessels from Europe usually re h ceive fresh provisions and water there. Cheribon (Tjeribon) is one of the most im portant places in Java aud is the residence of the descendants of the old Sultan. The regent's residence is the principal building in the town. > volcanic ISLANDS. i Krakatoa, or as it is sometimes called ? Orockatos, is a volcanic island at the mouth t of the Straits of Sunda. Us shores are wash , ed by the waters of the Indian Ocean, It ? is situated in latitude G degrees 1) minutes . south and longitude 105 degrees 29 minutes ? east. The island is about six or seven ? miles long and about four or fivo miles i broad. The Dutch government have estab lished a signal station or fort on it, but it is not inhabited otherwise. To the northwest of Krakatoa is a small nameless Island, i and to the east is a, similar one. Both are i very close to tho larger island. ? Directly north oi Krakatoa and near the coast of Sumatra are two other volcanic islunds, railed the Lebockeaud tbeSehesie Islands. They ars smaller than Krakatoa and are uninhabited. Sumatra is the most northwesterly of the Sunda Islands, of the Malay Archipelago, and next to Borneo and New Guinea the largest in the Eastern Bees. It has a popu lation of 3 000,000, moaDy Malaya. Its products are tropical fruits, spices, coffee and scented woods. The island is divided into a number of native States. Part of the island is under the supremacy of the Dutch. Lauil lcrkuo Heeling.

Under the present Vstem. he said, the local inspector virtually investigates his own official conduct, for when an Investi gation of an explosion is needed it is made by the inspector who examined the vessel at its last in ?paction.
