THE BAILING REGULATIONS.
A stakeboat was anchored abreast of the lower
landing, known as Vanderbllt's, Staten Island,
about 250 yards from the shore, and another In
an easterly line, about three-quarters of a mile
from the shore. Between these stakeboats the
schooners anchored In line, about fifty yards
apart. The first-class sloops anchored In the
same manner, fifty yards apart, about 150 yards
south of the schooners.
In taking position each yacht selected Its own
Jn the order of its arrival, at the anchorage.
The committee boat did not undertake to tow
yachts into position. Mainsails, foresails, and
topsails were set before starting. The signul
for preparing to start was one gun from the
committee steamer, and after a brief interval
the signal for starting was a second gua from
the same steamer.
THE COURSE WAS
from the anchorage to the buoy on the South
west Spit, passing it to the west and south,
thence to the. Lightship, rounding it to the
northward and eastward, returning over the
same course, paeslDg to the east, going and re
turning, of all the buoys on the west bank, viz.,
No. 13, No. 11, and No. 9, and to the westward
of the inner flagboat off Vanderbllt's landing.
THE FRIZES.
The programme embraced seven magnificent
prizes, two of them being open to all American
yachts for competition under certain regula
tions. First on the list were the club prizes,
being as follows:
One for schooners Of the value of $250
One for first-class sloops Vt the value of 150
One for second-class sloops Of the val ue of 100
After the start was made the spectacle was
beautiful, and the crafts, with an aggregate of
tens of thousands of spectators enjoying the sight,
dotted the bay on every hand. All this time the
Magic was doing excellently, and just outside
the Narrows there was a little sharp work be
tween her and the Tidal Wave, which were
closely together. The Magic came down on the
bow of the Tidal Wave with the intention of
crossing it, but failed, yet continued until the
Tidal Wave was compelled to come up in the
wind to avoid a collision. The Magic went about
and the Tidal Wave lost nearly all her headway,
and was Eet off to leeward. Shooting out from
the Narrows in a line astern of the Magic was
the Tidal Wave, soon recovering her lost ground
from the former's manoeuvre; then the Palmer,
that was fast overhauling them, and sailing so
well that many were surprised. , ,
THE HOMESTRETCH.
It was now a free wind to the point off Sandy
Hook, and balloon jibs wers set. Passing that
the Tidal Wave still showed her sailing qualities
and headed the fleet; then the Palmer, Colum-
bia. Made. Wanderer. Idler, the two latter
struggling for the leading position. They ap
peared splendidly, with a cloud of canvas and
topsails towering aioit. Approacningtne soutn-
west Spit buoy, it was feared that the mistake in
running down might be repeated by some of the
yachts, ana it was; ine Tidai wave, raimer,
IJolumbla, and Magic, now the leading boats,
rounding it as before, the Columbia throwing
awav her chance of victory by the error, as she
rounded the Spit buoy correctly in sailing down.
The time of those taken that turned it is as
follows:

The race now clearly lay between the Idler
and the Wanderer, considering the others not
adhering to the sailing regulations forfeiting
their right, and, barring accident, with the time
allowance, it would seem that the former must
win.

RAILROAD WAR AT BLQQHFIELD,N.J.
The People Resist the Montclalr Com
pany's Encroachments A Successful
Contest.
A serious affair occurred at Bloomfield, N. J.,
yesterday morning, the entire population turn
ing out at a given signal to resist the encroach
ments of the Montclalr Railroad Company.
This company had determined upon building a
bridge of 30 feet span across Broad street, in
that village, a little above the old Presbyterian
Church, while the street is at presenter feetwlde.
To this proposition the villagers objected, on the
ground that it would destroy the beauty of their
thoroughfare. About six weeks since the em
ployes of the road began the work of tearing up
the plank-walks of the street, but the Superin
tendent of Roads interfered and the work ceased.
It was understood, however, that the work
had not been wholly abandoned, and the
citizens agreed that, should it be again
renewed, the bell of the Presbyterian Church
should be rung and the citizens alarmed.
At 6 o'clock A. M. yesterday the bell pealed
forth, and in half an hour about four hundred
citizens had assembled at the spot where it was
intended to erect the bridge. There they found
all the materials for the erection of the struc
ture. During the previous night the railroad
company bad caused lumber to be taken thither,
as well as a large derrick, which the citizens
found ready for use, and the other tools
necessary for the work. A gang of laborers
were on hand, too, guarded by a force of special
officers, under the direction of Robert A.' Hag
gerty, the company's special detective. But
the people made short work of it, although no
blows were given on either side. As soon as
the laborers succeeded in digging a trench, a
dozen of the people would jump in, and defy
the laborers to eject them. Others of the work
men were kept from their labor by force. Thus
the battle continued, until finally an armistice
was declared, through the efforts of Sheriff
Teed, who was Immediately summoned by the
railroad, company, lhe citizens gained the vic
tory for the present, and they seem determined
to maintain their position.
The people declare that the object of the rail
road company in building a bridge of such nar
row span is to retaliate upon them because they
refused to bond the township in favor of the
road. With the exception of slight bruises to
some of the laborers, no person was injured,
except one of the contractors, Henry C. 8pauld-
mg, who was accidentally trampled upon by the
excited crowd, ana had one oi his ribs broken.
He was sitting on a stone, which he declared
should not be removed, when the crowd seized
upon him, knocking him over. Many regrets
are heard on all sides over this unfortunate ac
cident. The company had expected to have the
bridge completed by last evening. jv. x.

DEATH ON THE RAILROAD.
Two Men Run Over Under Singular Clr-
cumninoci.
The St. Louis Democrat of the 21st Inst says:
A brace of railroad accidents of a shocking
cnaracter occurred at a o clock yesterday morn
ing on the levee. The tracks connecting the
Pacific and Iron Mountain Railroads with the
grain elevator and the North Missouri Railroad
join at the foot of Poplar street, and trains of
cars are moving over tnem almost constantly at
nignt.
Officers uarry and Gummerseu, while patrol
ling their beat, at 3 o'clock, heard a shout for
help proceeding from the levee, and ran to the
spot from whence it came. They discovered
James Wilson lying on the track, up which a
train bad just passed, with his foot crushed to
a jelly by the wheels. The officers took charge
of him, and prepared to move him to the Health
Office for treatment. After procuring a baggage
wagon, in which they were about to place htm,
they heard another cry for help a few rods
below them. Investigation proved that another
man had been run over by another train, which
backed down a lew moments before.
The second sufferer proved to be Martin Mor
rissey. His injuries were of a horrible nature
lhe car wheels had passed over both his legs
above the knees and crushed and mangled them
until they held only by a few shreds of skin.
His right band bad become entangled in the
brake of one ot mo cars, ana oy it ne was drag
ged along the track until the hand and wrist
became a mass oi puipy nesn ana broken bones,
when the brake no looger held it.
The officers placed Morrissey beside tVllson In
the wagon, and drove both to the Health Office.
The Dispensary Physician law at a glance that
nothing could be done for the former, and after
bandaging Wilson's crushed foot, he directed
that they be Immediately removed to the City
Hospital. The amputation of Morrissey's legs
was there performed, but the terrible shock
sustained caused his death a few hours after.
Wilson was properly attended to and will
probably recover, although the injury sustained
will cripple him for iife.
It is supposed that both men had been drink
ing during the night and by chance staggered
to the railroad track, where they lay down and
went to sleep. Neither of them could have
been there more than ten minutes when dis
covered, and it is a singular coincidence that,
perfect strangers to each other, they should
have both been run over almost at the same time
and place and in the same manner.

MEDIA WATER WORKS.
Important Meeting of Citizens Necessity
oi a ueuer waier supply.
In pursuance to a call, a considerable number
of tax-paying citizens of Media assembled In the
Court llouBe on lnursday evening, ior tne pur
pose of considering: the proposition made by
Kroomall. Price & Haldeman to sell the Palmer
Mills property, in order to furnish the borough
with a more abundant supply of water.
. Mr. Talley stated that be was in favor of a
better supply of water, and thought the people
ot tne boroucn were almost unanimously so,
but there was a manifest desire on the part of
seme of those present to have more time and
information on tne suDiect; tnat ne naa no
doubt that if his motion prevailed the investi
gation would result in a report from the com
mittee favorable to the purchase of the Palmer
property; that the citizens would accept the
report and all would be satisfied. A. Lewis
Smith, Esq., Kalph Buckley, H. Jones Brooke,
and C. D. Manly, Esq., also argued in favor of
submitting the matter to a committee. Colonel
Thomas T. V. Cooper and others opposed it. The
motion to commit was lost, vs tor to zi against.
The original resolution was carried without op
position.
. The meeting was one of great Interest to the
town, and the proceedings exciting. Some of
the sneakers indulged in personalities, and were
excused on tne ground tnat they were so much
absorbed as to imagine they were attending a
Domical meeting.
After the meeting the. owners of the water
power alluded to sent to the Borough Council
the following generous letter, which fully
meets tne object of Mr. iaiiey s motion, to give
more time and a better investigation of the
matter: .
To the Council of the Borough of Media Gentle
men: With a view of affording ample opportunity
of carrying out the wishes of the meeting of citizens
last evening, and of obviating all necessity for hasty
action In the matter, we hereby extend the time for
accepting onr otter of the mill property, late of Lewis
rainier, until uuiv l, ana as we are interested in com
mon with other citizens in ascertaining and adver
tising the advantages of our borough as a place of
residence, we stipulate toat a cuemiBioi some

Tne Income Tax Judge Strong Decides It
to be constitutional.
United States Circuit Court Judtie Stryng.
In the cases last week argued in this Court In-
volvlng the constitutionality of the income tax, his
Honor Judge strong tnis morning aeuverea tue ioi
lowlna ODinlon sustaining It:
Clarence H. Clark vs. Horatio G. Slckel, Mary E.'
Farnum vs. Horatio u. Hlckei, Henry c. Lea va.
William R. Leeds, William Sellers vs. Horatio O.
SirkeL Strong. J.
The pleadings In all these cases raise the question
whether the act of Congress ot Jane 80, 1S64, and Its
supplements, bo far as they impose a tax upon the
annual galuB, profits, or income of every person re
siding in the United States, or of any citieen of the
United States residing abroad, are within the power
conferred by the Constitution upon Congress. If it
be true, as has been argued, that the Income tax is
a "capitation or other direct tax" within the mean
ing of the Constitution, It is undoubtedly prohibited
by the first and ninth sections of the first article, for
it is not "apportioned among the States."
But I am of opinion that it is not a "capitation or
other direct tax" in the sense in wmcn tne rramers
of the Constitution, and the people of the States who
adopted It, understood such taxes. The reasons for
my opinion it would answer no good purpose for me

doubtless go to the Supreme Court for ultimate
decision. It is sufficient for me now to state that in
my judgment Congress has a constitutional right to
Impose all the taxes of which the plaintltl's complain,
and that none of them are such as must necessarily
be apportioned, with the policy oi sucu an imposi

Harvard College Commencement.
Boston, June 23. The charming weather.
with the usual attractions of class-day, induced
a very large attendance to-day at Harvard Uni
versity. The exercises in the church occupied
about two hours, and consisted of prayer by
Rev. Dr. Peabody, an oration by Hiram Edward
Demlng, of Shortsville, N. Y.; a poem by Ilenry
Walton Swift, of New Bedford; and the singing
of an original ode, written by William Tudor,
of Boston. The programme for this afternoon
and evening presents the usual attractive fea
tures, including music, dancing in Massachu
setts Hall, the illumination of IIol worthy Ball,
and a levee by President Elliott. The gradu
ating class this year is considerably larger than
any previous year, numbering 157 members, and
the whole number who have ever been con
nected with the class is 181, of whem three have
died, thus showing a loss of only 21. With the
exception ef the present Freshmen class, this is
the largest class ever in Harvard College.

'Politics lu Alabama.' '
Montgomery, Ala.,' June 23. The Daily
State Journal, the organ of the ' Republican
party of Alabama, in its issue this morning says:
"We have lived in this State for more than a
quarter of a century, and have never felt inse-'
cure in person or property on account of politi
cal opinions. We are sincere in our Republi
canism, and we feel safe because we love our
people and honestly believe that we are pur
suing a course that will redound to their peace,
happiness, and prosperity. ' '
"Those men who call themselves Republicans
and who are continually trying to get Into office
by stirring np discord and strife and poisoning
the minds of voters in secret dens at midnight,
where honest men and sincere Republicans are
plotted against simply because they are honest
and sincere and have social standing In the
community, may feel unsafe. We indorse no
such libel upon the whole people of our State.
Radical, vulturous Ku-klur office-seekers of
every party are doing ns more harm as a people
than all the libels ever written. . We believe that
every honest man is safe in Alabama, no matter
what his political opinions are.",

FINANOtC AND COMMERCE. '
Ktcnixo Tai.KriBATH Omoa,!
Fridn , Jan 83. 1871. I
The money market Is decidedly more active
to-day, owing to the increased demand for call
loans, consequent npon the revival of specula
tion among the stock brokers, but the discount
market continues very quiet, and rates for good
commercial paper easy to Irst-class borrowers.
The banks lend less freely than usual of late,
owing to the falling off in resources to meet the
wants of the West, but the loan market is still
unqualifiedly easy. Call loans may be quoted
at about 6 per cent., a lower range being excep
tional, and commercial paper is in request at 6
per cent.
Gold is devoid of spirit, and the range is'
steady at U2)mx, opening and closing in'
New York at 112.
In Government bonds there is an increased .
movement, and prices show a slight advance on
last night's quotations.
Stocks were active and strong. Sales of
Pennsylvania war loan at 102.
Reading Railroad was in demand and sold
freely at 58X58, the latter b. o.; Pennsylva
nia was higher, selling at 61(S61, the latter
b. o.; Norrlstown sold at 85; Lehigh Valley
at 61, and Oil Creek and Allegheny at 51.
29 was bid for Philadelphia and Erie and 48
for Catawlssa preferred.
Canal stocks were auiet. Lehigh sold at 3S.
The balance of the list was dull but strong.
