VOHKTOWN. Vu„ Oct. 11.—This old place Is
sow possessed of mure lifo thaiutliHS known
since the timo Cornwallis surrendered, and al
ready It Is crowded beyond Its capacity. All Ju
dications point to tho faet that tpe great urowd
which will bo here will havo ns hard a timo ns
Cunmulll# did, and, I'ko that hlsiorle parly, will
’be willing (o surrender mid move off lotnnro
desirable quarters. Vorklciwu abounds hi re
minders of the Bovolutkmnry era. nnd the peo
ple still live in that primitive simplicity which
characterised the citizens of t|its place when
Vorktmvii was
tub rutNcirAi. pout op tmk union,
Iho i|uaint «x-uart, which, with its darky
driver. Is known In th|s region ns
tho peninsular buggy, Is seen everywhere, and
ihe owner, who rewards (his anniversary cele
bration as tho time (u make his fortune, Is nut
willing to hire It fyr less than SUi a day. Hvery
body boro Is •* on tho make,'* and Niagara prices
uru mild in comparison with tho rates churned
here. What Is to be done with tho great crowd
expected It Is Uinieiilt in say. No place In tho
State could Impress tho visitor more u nfavora
bly than this. Itislmo that he will go over
historic KrumiU coming bore, and tho most
patriotic ean shod tears of rntiipre when hols
pointed out on tho York Ulvor road thu vory
heuse In which
(IKN. dKOHOK WAMIIXfITON
first met the widow who became his wife, while
In Yorktown Itself not only l» the vlmlr shown
In wtiluh thu first man und-sn-forlh sat, hut (ho
defunut molars of Hritlsh soldiers who weru
picked oil hy stray pickets from the L'ontlnoiilul
army are exhibited with as much ctumnlmlty as
•if this werp mi Italian city and these dm hones
of some of dm Malms, llrlllsh bonus, however,
command higher rales than good Italian St.
Jerome shins or Palestine apostolic skulls. Not
only do the inhabitants uf this region expect to
make competences out of dm strangers who
visit, but many have come from every part of
the Union with dm sumo Idea.
ItOOTH* AND TdNTH
of every description us being put up all QV;cr the
grounds, and nil tvlth dm solo nltn of getting hi
tho almighty dollar, Thu plauo Is In reality be
coming u temporary city, two-thirds of thd
buildings In which are barrooms. Haeh specu
lator scums to buvo associated whisky with
American patriotism and money, and, In conse
(iucnce, stables, parlors, kitchens, and even
chicken coops have boon rigged up and tho
sign of “fine .Unitors" Hung to dm breeze.
TUB THING UAH ÜBBN CAUHIBI) TOO FAU,
oud, In tho haste tu get whisky, water has been
forgotten, and there Is absolutely no provision
made to supply tho groat crowds with water.
Tho military and Masonic camps have,tanks
connected with a small spring, but,
so far as tho outside multitude
Is concerned, there Is no provision whatever.
Water for the taverns, now dlgnlUod by tho
name of hotels on account of tho ele
vated price charged, Is huulcu from a
spring sumo miles distant. Owing, perhaps, to
the fact that Cornwallis surrendered hero, tho
largo majority of American people have formed
a mistaken Impression at the size of tho place.
YOUICTOWN IS A VILLAGE OF TUB SMALL
EST Hl/.H,
Maiming 300 Inhabitants, but it is dllllnult to see
whore more than seventy-five persons can bo
accommodated. Tho whole town Is on one
•fthdv lane of perhaps 200 yards In length, and,
with tho exception of tho historic Nelson
house and (wo or three others, thoro
are no two-storied buildings In tho plauo.
Tho town la In the centre or a network of forti
fications of the Hovolutlouary and Clvll-Wnr
periods, tho latter qf which are more sub
stantial than generally soon on Confederate
battle-fields. Temple farm, upon which is
situated tho Moore bouse, where tho articles of
capitulation were signed, is the camp ground of
the regular and volunteer military. Nut over
I.UX) regulars are expected tu bo present. No
volunteer troops have yet come.
TUB MOOItF. HOUSE
Is a two-story frame structure, which has boon
painted turn handsomely furnished for tho ru
wpUon of tho French visitors. Thu grand
pavilion 1s also on tho Toiuplo farm. In
addition to a largo number of tempo
rary booths, some put up fur sloop
big Purposes, others us snnek-bunscs. Tho
feeding, amt especially tho furnishing of sleep
ing accommodations for the groat crowd, affords
if) important problem not yet fully sulvud. Ex
cluding tho military, there are no sleeping
accommodations fur mnro than 3,500 persons.
All others must sleep on ships or ul Old Point,
Norfolk, and JUcbmond. The large majority of
sleeping places on sboru uro mostly hastily
constructed sheds, furnished with cots. For
ladles there are absolutely no accommodations
whatever, except some tents put up for thoso
who come with tho Masons. Every building In
the vicinity of Vorktuwn has boon llttml up.
Among other places, throe old Cunfuderaio
hospitals have been furnished with books, and
old United Btotus soldiers, who formerly us
prisoners ilopt In these whitewashed sheds free
or charge, can now rest Hr the same place ut

THE DIFFERENTIAL IMPORT DUTIES IN

To iht editor «/ 'IU L'Aleop PrlSmis,

a newspaper published hi Holland, uuntulns the
following editorial on Use above subjects
“U ishigh timetlmt Justice should boron*
dored to tho Nothorlands by tho abolition or tbo
1(1 |»oi* oout differential duly levied in America
on our Bast Indian colonial produce shipped
from Holland. The representatives of com
merce have frequently addressed themselves to

feel Inclined |o think (but great diplomatic
talent is required—uyo,that even saurllleus might
bo u*kud Hum us tu order to Induoo America to
abolish those duties.
“Thorn Is. however, uotblngol the kind. Hot*
land asks neither lavors nor reward for the lib*
oral commercial policy followed beret It merely
desires the execution of un existing treaty.
“ Tbo wording of ibis treaty Is su undeniably
clear Uml ft plain communication of the facts
must convince everybody that it Is u s/mme for
Holland those duties have not been done away
with years ago.
“Art. 5 of the treaty concluded in 183.1 botwuen
America and the Netherlands stipulates tbut
both countries reserve tu themselves tbo right
to continue levying differential duties, but that
whenever one of the contracting parties abet*
lahos the differential duly ibe other party binds
Knelt to do tbo same. On the Ist of January,
IbTJ.uil differential duties were ahulUhed by
Holland, and from that moment America was
obliged by treaty to do (he mono for the Nether
and*. H, what wo cUmwt believe, anybody
could silfl doubt, that doubt would entirely dis
appear bv tlio ofllclnl report presented during

Hhorman. to Congress. , . „
••on uiißcaiur thin report wo rend t Mlyflcc.
“Nil or tho Ih-vised Statutes an additional duly

Cotfeu produced in tho Dutch colonial posses

additional duty. The fifth article yf tho treaty
with the Netherlands of Kelt, M, I«Vi, provides
that discriminating duiloe against tea and oof*

under the treaty, to remove the discriminating
Import duties op ten and coffee produced in (bo
possessions of the Netherlands It Is recom

In tho matter.' . ....
•• As a consequence ot that report a bill was
brought In by one of (bo members of Congress
In the beginning of this year to abolish the dir
lerentlal duties, with the open acknowledgment
that America had been under obligation for a
considerable time already to adopt that meas
ure.
•• In consoqueucoof the mixed up political statu
of things the question was not decided, and
things remain an they arc. Mow is It possible
that this has continued now for seven years amt
a half, and MM! continues! 1 Tho wonts of tho
treaty are clear and Irrefutable, the American
.Government and members of Congress openly
acknowledge tho tact, and still these 111 per cent
arc being paid unduly and during seven and n
half years.
“A treaty Is binding for both parties. If
America does not curry out one of the articles,
Holland would have tho liberty to do so with
any other article. The same treaty stipulates
the most favored reciprocity, but If tho Dutch
(lovormnmit hud simply notllled tho American
Government that as lona as tho It) per cent aro
levied from Holland a similar differential duty
would bo levied on all exports from the Dutch
colonics to America, we are nitre of It. uot three
months instead of seven years would have
been required to vindicate our good right.
And there is uot (he slightest fear that any
trouble whatever would arise. Thu principle,
‘•.Might above right," Is abhorred In America,
and us soon as the facta, as they really arc, havo
been brought Uoloro tho public, public opinion
in America would soon Induce Government ami
Congress to execute fairly an existing treaty,
and it would not allow wrong to bo Indicted any
longer cn n nation that, however small, knows
how to command respect. A more convincing
proof for this our assertion cannot be given than
the honorable and outspoken way In which
members of too Government nod Congress In
America have expressed themselves.
“Every day lost In thla matter Is not only a loss
to us, lint It is also a shame to the country. Our
Government and our representatives would
certainly neglect their duty if they allowed our
country to be Injured this way any lunger.
•• Wo conclude with an earnest appeal to cur
chambers of commerce, to oqr energetic men of
brndneps all over the country, to imlto In inviting
the Government to sustain our good right. Wo
do not wish tu recriminate, we do not look to
tho pant, hut wo Insist on tho future. Our Gov

Hallroud. which Involves some Interesting ques

011-cuko to Now York, over tho Wabash.
They charge tho rqad with unjust

but 15 ccuts by tho Wabash lino. Tho Oilman
people have several times attempted to obtain a
reduction, aud claim that tho company sume

tho old rate after shipping two cars at tbo I'eurlu

plaint and tbo douutnentary evidence, Instructed
tbo Attorney-General tu beglu suit Immediately
against tbo Wabash tu recover tbo over

a view to testing In tbo courts tho extent of the
Jurisdiction of tho Hallroud Commissioners. It
has alwnys beon a mooted question ns tn wheth
er tho State bad authority tu enforce tbo law
prohibiting unjust discrimination when a part
of tho distance over which tho freight Is earned
Is outside of tho Btatc. The railroads havn
claimed (but. although the cnmrnet fur carrying

Usd Sanitary Condition ol (lie City*
To the Cdflor of Tht Vkiatuo Trl/mns.
OniOAuo, Out. 10.—Tho prevalence of malarial
fevers In our midst Is far more widespread than
is generally believed. It Is only the members of
our profession who dally come Into contact with
It who can roall so the extent and the growth of
those fevers and (ho danger of an epidemic
unless some remedial measures are taken to
prevent It. Whenever those fevers exist tho
cause can readily bo traced, perhaps not In each
case, but na a whole.
To my mind, after a carol ul review, I believe
that It is In a great measure the foult
of tho city. Dr. Do Wolf Is a very clh
ojciit man, but bo Is handicapped hv
the great extent of his field and the want of
properusslslaiits. It is Impossible lor him to
Inspect the alleys, yards, and proper disposition
of the swill and offal throughout (ho whole city,
and is dependent on the reports of ottlvcni who
aro retained more for political reasons than for
clllclcnoy.
In mydally drives through a large district of
the South Division 1 tliid the alloys In many
places wreaking with tilth, and umavyanisla
no bolter condition. There is olton an alarm
sounded about Improper aowago, but it would bo
well If the official Would taku proper cognizance
of what he cun sou and smell In the public
tillers, private yards, and closets.
This city has grown so large and is so pecul
iarly situated that It requires the bust turn most
liberal sanitary regulations of any largo city on
thin eontlmmt. At present It Is stluted and very
poor. If Dr. Do Well’had a physician In each
division of the city not selected by tho Mayor or
tho politicians, but selected by him, and have
them direct the scavenger and health Inspector
ol tbalr particular districts and make a dully re
port to Ho Wolf, who In lilr turn would bo al
lowed, without iutertcreneu, to prosecute all
who violate sanitary regulations, a great good
would Imj done and many valuable lives saved.

CtftOAOO, Cot. 11.—'Wo bnvon great respect for
Col. Almon K. Rockwell, whom, according to
Saturday's Thiiuj.nk, it Is proposed to appoint
(Juarlermustor-Gotioral of tbo United States
Army. Our respect Is founded upon the close
personal relations of friendship and affection
well known lo have existed between the lute
President and Col. Uoekwcll, and upon tbo as*
•bilious attentions bestowed by tbo latter on the
former in bis marlyr-Biitforhigs, as well as upon
tbo reputed high qualities ol Col. Uoekwcll as
u gentleman and a soldier: and it would be
equally extended to any person who as cun*
spieuously enjoyed the love and esteem
of Gen. Garileld. Hut we do not believe that
the lata President, tbo soul ol honor and him*
self u soldier, contemplated perpetrating the
great wrong upon the army—and oottseiiqenily
upon tbo country—of tunning such an appoint*
muni, though it is staled in your special dls*
patch to be "known by many persona that It
w*us the Intention of Mr. Garileld” to do so. Nor
do wo bollevo that Mm. Garfield, upon n proper
understanding of the matter, will lend her in*
llueiieu lo such u measure, boweverupprnelatlva
sho may bu ol her late husband's natural gener*
ousness of diameter, or however grateful sho
may (eel tu Cot. Uoekwcll lor bis devoted kind*
ness to that husband during bis long agonies.
Generosity and gratitude In lofty minds uan
never make requital by wrongdoing.
Col. Itoekwoll la tbo tenth C'tipmfn, In the
Quarterniustor's Department of too Army; and
by snub oppolntmool ho would bo passed over
tbo bends or tbo nine senior Captains, Imirieen
Majors, eight Lloutcnaiii-Colunula, and four
Colonels lit that department, all of longer serv*
lee and greater experience In their lino of duty
than Col. Uoekwcll. and many having earned
distinguished record fur cllioleney. Nearly all
are In the prime of muubood ami looking tor*
ward with professional xeal to regular advance
ment. Appointment by ttlution Instead of by
promotion, though allowed by act of Congress
improved under the exigencies of our domestic
war. now happily fading into vistas of the past,
is rarely Justlilulilo lu times of peace, and surely
never us a reward or premium for personal
friendship, nor from nu impulse of personal
gratitude, norut tbo behest of sympathy or re
gard for promise or luteutlon owing to such
personal considerations.
Col. Uoekwcll was born in New York, and ap*
pointed tu tbo army from that State. Illsolfl
eial record Is as follows; First Lieutenant nud

Vour dispatch states that "tho dvlug request"
of President Garfield hi Col. Rockwell's behalf
"umlimhiodly places President Arthur lu a
most serious dilema." If President Arthur
cantmi overcome auch iblcmit, even whit" his
relations to Gen. Grant ami Iho strong desire of
the lutier to have his friend Ueu, Ingalls made

fiue to conyfnn the appointment of Col. UueUweil
as tjuuriormasier-Uenerid, ami thus mrplra
