The New York Timet is the lead ing Radical organ of the Empire State, if not ot too Union. It do dares the sentiment that a airainst the effect of labor troubles and for the . proteotioq of the rich, in the United Mates, "lhere 6cemsto be but ono remedy, and it must come a change of ownership of the soil, and a creation of class land-owners on the one hand, and if tenant farmers on the other something similar to what his long existed in the older countries of Europe." With this, would come, as a matter of course, the Europeau system of elections, with tho restric tions as to the suffrage. Even in 'free England" tho poor cannot Vote, unless they have property or house bold, but even these cannot be elect ed to Parliament, except in extraor dinary instances, as it costs all way from 1.000 to even 3,000 to secure a seat in the Commons. The land owners, the lords of the soil, are vir tually also tho owners of tho con science ot their tenants, so far as vot ing in concerned, for tho tenant who refuses to vote as his landlord com mands him soon finds himself sub jected to a species of tyranny, which the law allows, and has either to sub mit to it or abandon his lease, if he be not actually driven from the pre mises at first. Under such a system, in this country, there would be only rich men in the Legislature, rich men in Congress, rich men in every impor tant public oflioe throughout the land. Theu would follow tho "strong Gov ernment" for which the Radicals want Grant as a life-long Dictator. A large standing army, to overawe the )eople, and to enforce the arbitrary aws or mandates of the Government, would be next provided. Then would succeed the withdrawal of tho ballot from all who were not property- owners and free holders. And after theee preliminaries of the "strong Government," all that would remain to the oitizeus, degraded to subject condition, may be inferred from an insight into the workings of the mon archal or despolid croveroments of Europe: racir vassalage, "wonKi be secured, and, their only relief or res cue from it, successful revolution. But, under the "strong Government" the authorities would adopt the pre cautionary measuro of disarming the subject classes, and making it penal for them to own or keep arms. It was done in the South, under the Re construction Acts; it is done in Ire land to this day. With soldiors sta tioned in every district where trouble was feared or likely to occur, the decisive treatment of powder and lead would prove very effectiye. As for the debased people thus brought to enslavement by their own rotes in tho outset, by electing the Radical masters who used and abused the power so obtained to tho end accom plished, they might sorrowful rumi nate upon their own deplorable folly, and thoBo among them who rushed to Radicalism to cfoape the nicrn scare of Communism, could with their un fortunate fellow serfs drown their grief in their own tears, and still suf fer worso wrongs in their degradation. Tho frightened deer which fled from the hounds and rushed into the cave for security, was thero devored by the lion. It might haye escaped the hounds, but it stood no cliauce with the king ot beasts. The voters who rush to Radicalism in any form -whether through the false passage way of Non -Partisanship, or any other to csuapo even Kearneyism, of the two evils choose and aro certain to fall victims to the worst. Of Execrable Memory. A miserable wretch, nearly hun dred years of age, died lately in the Comity Mayo Workhouse, ireiana, who confessed to the Cbapliin and Doctor that he had aided in the arrest of Lord Edward Fitzgerald In Dublin in 1798, and, more infamous still, that it was himself who served as the ex ecutioner ot Robert Emmet, the pure Irish patriot, in 1803. His name was Barney Moran. Horn in Dublin, he served as t soldier in the English ar my, and volunteered for the atrocious work on the two stated occasions, for which bo was paid large wagrs. The infamous Major Sirr selected him, from bis knowledge of the man. lie after wards became a wanderer and an out cast, as he deserved to be, and never dared to reveal bis terrible secret. For over a halt eentnry life had been a burden to him. IIu died a pauper and bis memory will be rescued from oblivion only to be execrated. A centleman who had long known the awful yart Moran took in Emmet's death, u still living, but he neer di- yulzed it during the life-time of the wretch, and until Lis death it bad re mained mysttry. "When I counted her," said Spread" water, "I took a lawyer's advice, and siened every letter to oy love, 'yours I withoBt rjudioe., " Welshed and Wantln;. It is cheap fashion in the decayed and dying Republican organization, remarks the Boston J'ost, to cay that the Democratic party is a dangerous one to be entrusted with power, and that it will not do to let control of the country pass into its hands. It is spoken of si a nest of spooks and bug shoos to frighten childish minds with. Anything rather Vhau let the Demo crats come into power, is the cry of tho Republican alarmists and watch dogs. Rotter have a Republican President by fraud than a Deiuocratio President by votes of the people. Grant and a military Government are bettor. ' Revolution itself is to be preferred. That is the way a great many excitable and passionately par tisan Republicans allow themselves to talk. They appear to entertain no higher or clearer conception of the character or purposes of our free sys tem of government. How do they suppose the Democrats are coming ir.to power except by the will of the people? Unless they can secure a majority there is an end of it. Rut what these Republican howlihgs mean is that the people shall not ad minister the Government through the Democratio party, if they can help it. That plainly signifies that they put no faith in the people as the rightful sovereigns,but believes solely in them selves. This wild calling on Grant to help them out means nothing but the absorption of all the elements and forces of free government by military power. And that is the measure of the Republican ideas ot Republicans. Thev see with an alarming distinct ness the certainty ot tho iucoming of the Democratic majority, ana luey meet it iu this way. These are the tactics they have adopted to and prac tised for ten years past. They have been sounding alarms all that time. Iu spite of this the popular majorities have been steadily changing, and the Democrats have been taking possess ion o: one branch ot the Government after another. They have had the House of Representatives for nearly four years, and two years ago they fairly plectpd thoi KwuJcmu-Tuo Republican majority in the Senate has been whittled down to one, reck oning Patterson and Conovcr in with the majority. In IS70 tho Republi ean majority in the Senate was 50, and in the House 97; in 187?, in the Senate it was 30, and in the House 25; in 1874, in the Senate it was 27, and in the House 105; but in 1870, in the Senate il was 17, and in the House the majority had become a minority of 77. In the following year the Republican majority in the Senate had dwindled to 2, all count ed, while in the House the Republi can minority was 13. Their doom as a party is evidently sealed. For this reason ' thev call on Grant to come back and save them. The country to-day has got beyond Grant in its politics. It is preparing lor different and creater things. As tor the securi ty of the Federal Union and the per petuity of Republican Government, these trouble them nothing. All thev crave is power: popular rights may go. They swell with, phrases of partriotism when they mean only centralization. Parii in the Earl Mornin;. It is an interesting sight to take a seat on the lop ot a street car at an early hour in the morning and witness the cleaning process that overyiinng is undergoing. The housekeepers bring out all their rubbish and pile it up iu the street, one pile for every four or five bouses. It is no sooner emutied than the rsz pickers, who swarm the streets with their bags and buckets and hand carts, pounce upon it and gather up all the fragments of 1 . t i- 1 ! paper, rags or raeiai to oe iounu in the piles, iney are so numerous mat there is a scramble on every street and they move from pile to pile as it their life depended on their activity. They seem to take away one-third of the rubbish. Servants are everywhere to be seen with broom and tucket in band, cleaniiis off tho fronts. The streets are being t-prinkleJ with hose, and an army of men and women witu birch brooms are sweeping the streets, On tbe boulevards horse brushing ma chines are in motion, and garbage carts are removinz the piles thrown out by tbe housekeepers. Water is turned on in all tbe gutters, and wo men with brooms are cngagea id washinir them down. Men with hose are waterinz the roots ot all the bun dredsof thousands of trtes on the boulevards, and takinz up the grat in"S so as to loosen the earth around them. All, or u arly all this work is beinz done bv the city authorities, and by niae o'eloek the city i clean as broom and brush and water cao make it. A ilichisrsn woman hid 'mt cow under the bay to keep ktr out of sight of the tax collecvor, and a news paper calls it a case of cowhiding by a female. , Ttllow Fever. Surgeon-General Woodsworth, ot tho United States Marino Hospital service, has written a letter in which he says: " The weight of sciontifio evidence seems to warrant the conclusion that How fever is produced by an invis ible poison, capable of self multiplica tion outside of the human organism, which it enters through the air pas sages. In some instances it bus been carried inland with the people fleeing from infected localities, but it has never shown a disposition to spread epidemically at points remote from the continuous water-roads ot com merce, or to lodge in high, salubrious places. The cities of tho great lakes have always been free from the dis ease. Yellow fever cannot be said to be endemiu in tho United Slates, from the fact that in some years it docs not appear, though the imported germ un doubtedly suivives the mild Winters. t appears to have about as much re- istance of cold as the banana plant. When the banana stalk is killed down y tho frost the yellow favor does not recur until again reported. Tbe germ is transmissible. Il is capahlo of be ing transported iu the clothing of per sonal eilects ot passengers and sailors, but its spread from one city to auotber is chiefly accomplished by vessels, their damp, filthy holds and bilge wa ter being its favorite lurking-plaoes. Confinement, moisture and high tern perature favor the multiplication or irulence of the poison, lellowle veris uot communicated from the sick to the well, the sick and well being angerous only as possible carriers of the poison cenn or miasm. 1 hough not sunicienlly demonstrated lo state as fact, still there seems good reason to believe that much may be accom plished by individual prophylaxis, by the uso internally ot smau uoscs oi ulphate of quima at regular intervals, nd ot tincture ot irou or chlorate ot notassa. As the poison enters through the air passages it has boen suggested that the nasal passages be bathed fl uently with a solution containing quiuiue. trt I api'' " .. . ,. i nasal spray. . " Indian Frauds. Some intorcstine information in ref erence lo tho Indian frauds at rort Staton. New Mexico, has been re ceived at Headquarters, in this city, and will bring to light some of the "ways that are dark and tricks that are vain ' of Iudian Agents: An azent of the interior depart ment stationed at Fort Stanton, about the 3rd of July counted tbe Indians at the Apache Agency near the post, and it wss ascertained mat seven hundred were abscut; tour hundred of this number wero accounted for as being in tho Guadalupe mountains. Upon this information a party was sent out to hunt for them, and having made a thorough earol of the moun tains was unable to find any trace of them, and, in fact, saw no camp that bad been occupied within a year. From what we nave been auie to earn there is somclLing wrong in the management ot the 1-ort Bianton Apache Agency, and upon investiga tion it was found that there was about seven hundred less than were being subsisted. The fact is, most of the absent Indians exist only oo paper. The largest estimate ever made by men livinz in that section of the country placed the number of Indians on the Reservation at uiue hundred, and of this number, leaving old men, women and children out, about one are "fii'htinir" men. This estimate was madu by a man who probamy ex airgeratcd the number. At the time the Indians were counted, July 3rd, there wero probably more present than there had been tor vears. as tbev have been seeking the Reserva lion lately, knowing of the presence of troops in the Carizo mountains. The presence of a company was ro norted at rort hlanton beioro me count was made, and, from what can be ascertained, bv tho very Indians that were followed into tbe Sacra mento mountain in June. A detail Las iust relumed lrom tho west without finding any trail, and another party is now oui ib tuo uirec lion of the Pecos. The Republican politicians and journals are tnrniug much of thsir attention to "Southern claims, re marks the New York World. If the Potter Committee extends its in veitjgations far enough it will find that Wells and Amlf rson, of the Louisiana Returning Board, have r 9 Urge cotton claims sgaiust tbe Gov erament, and proposed in 1870 to coqnt the vote of Louisiana for the President candidate who would agree to LcId them the most with thti claims. We advise the Republican journals by t'A means to add these eminent claims to their list. ' Namci of Mines. From the Salt Lake Tribune, Names of mines, like ono's emotions when eating Limburger cheese for the first time, are peculiar. Tho locater of Dry Hash probably showed his prcfercneo for a dish which is a prominent feature in a boarding house, and has a large circle of acqua intances. Moonbeam, indeed, is more poetic, but not so enphnious, nor so suggestive of Utah as Ross Rodbugj ' Little Bilk leaves one to infer thai there is a Rig Bilk; in fact, on con sideration, we concede that there are a great many of them. - Mollies Darl- ing shows, that although sue is gev tin' to be quite and old maid, she .7 . i . ni. . v ,A sin i nas aumircrs. mo x uu sa exhibition ofhnman nature; the lo cator wanted to pick the pride of ther vein and spur it to belie its'name. ? ! i v. un inquiring oi one iMwvr u v u had named his olaim "I Know All, he exclaimed: "When I left the East, left my girl there, and some trouble I bad with autther lady.

"Well, you seo, that's my wife; she' a holy terror. Left her in Gold Hill." . Tom Piko being questioned as tty his naming a location Joab Johnson said: , "That that waa my name in tha States."

At Auteuil tie othor day, in a cosy iltlo hotel in tho Park des l'rinces, the Spanish Government's agent ar rested a mysterious elderly lady who' was living with her sister iu great lnx-' ury. Stories diller, one correspondent declaring that sho was extradited XV Spain ; another that the arrest waa made by rror, the lady being mis taken for Senora Baldomcra. Tho' woman they want is fifty-five, tho widow of Senor Larra, well known Spnnisb satirist, who blew out luir brains some time ago n-r- some un known reason. She is of a good fam-' ily. In 1872 she attracted much at-' . . ii. tentiou by borrowing money in smaiv sums from the laborers and shop keepers of the capital, returning tbem1 in a few days with twelve per cent. interest, the lame of the bucna senora, or good lady, soon spread throughout the city, and when she opened a bank on similar principles' Us doors were thronged, one pam the interest regularly for some months., but one fine day in 1875 she decamped with nearly 41,000,000.
