There are no “new developments”
in the Sprague matter hers, and the
excitement is dying out. Exagger
ated rumors regarding Senator
Conkling's manner of living'here re
ceived great currency through the
Democratic and “ Independent ”
press, just after the Rhode Island
trouble, and came to this city to sur
prise and disgust those who had for
years known that in fact the Senator
leads 'a quiet and respectable life
here, takes little part in society sf
fairs, and devotes his time almost en
tirely to his ofiicial duties, to u. very
few important law cases, and to
study. The bitterness with which
he is now attacked would seem to
indicate that the Democracy fear a
Conkling “boom" for the Presidency
The most nonsensical thing a com
mittee ever did is what the Wallace
Committee has done and is doing.
Under Senator Teller that Commit
tee did actually inquire into real
abuses, and took much testimony
showing that a p'ortion of the people
of the United States, living in the
South, were habitually deprived of
their legal rights. That was perti
nent to the original authority and
purpose of the Committtee. But
Senator Wallace, made chairman
when the Democrats got possession
of the Senate, has turned the Com
mittee into an inquest as to the con
stitutions and laws of certain States.
The real question is as to the obedi
ence to laws andl'thc protection of
citizens under those laws Senator
Wallace may convince the world that
the Northern States have in the high
est degree oppressive to private
rights. though no sane mart thinks
he can; yet he will not have touched
the real question at issue.
The news from the Ohio canvass
is meagre. although some democrats
now concede that Ewing is beaten
and are endeavoring to convince
themselves that the result of that
election will indicate nothing of its
action next year. The opinion is
gaining ground that Foster’s major
ity will largely exceed 20,000. There
is dissatisfaction and distrust in the
Democratic ranks while the Republi
cans are united, satisfied and active.
The various investigations by the
democratic Congress, are now gener
ally subjects of ridicule—the train
question concerning investigations
now being which has rendered itself
the most ridiculous, Glover’s Com
mittee or Hendrick B. Wright’s.
Senator Blaine writes here that
that Republicans will elect elect their
candidate for Governor in Maine this
year. Senator Blaine is the best
posted politician in New England.

From our regular correspondent)
New YORK, Aug 17, 1879.
substratum: is THE sta'raopous.
Doubtless many of your readers
will gasp and call for a fan at the
bare mention of a Metmpoliran Au
gust—but let them save their pity
for more needy objects 1 The tone
ment-house population indeed suffers
with summer heat, as it does with
wintry cold, and with foulness,
and endless suffering through all the
year. These are the accompaniments
of extreme poverty almost every
where—God pity its poor victims
over all His beautiful world! But
the average dweller in Gotham I am
speaking of; and he gets about as
much comfort during these hot days
and nights as in any part of the year.-
For a paltry half dollar, he can
take a sail down this matchless Bay
past Sandy Hook, past the Highlands,-
of Navesink, the last land a traveler
sees in leaving our shores, and the first
to greet his return; and, on plough
ing the bluegreen waves of the At
lantic Ocean, thirty miles in all to
the great iron Ocean Pier at Long
Branch; spend seven hours on the
beach, and take thirty miles of Ocean
and Bay back again to his city home.
No such sixty miles for fifty cents is
offered anywhere that I know of.
Or for alike sum, he can go by
boat or rail to Co'ney Island, once
the haunt of monte-men, gamblers
and roughs, but. now the most de
lightful of family resorts, whose visi
tors often number 125,000 in a day.
cons? ISLAND.
is a low, narrow strip of sand lying
along Long Island facing the ocean.
It is six or seven miles long and
about half a mile wide and is separ
ated from the main land only by a
sluggish, narrow stream that a good
horse could jump across if the banks
were firm. The sea front is divided
into four different localities or settle
ment, almost, and in some cases,
quite touching each other, and is
known as “Manhattan Beach”,
“Brighton Beach," “West Brighton
Beach”, (formerly “Cable’s”) and the
“West End” or “Mike Norton’s”.
The latter is the oldest and is kept
by air-Senator “Mike” Norton, arid is
still the favorite resort for people of
ucertain class. Here the buildings
are rough and low, like most of their
“habitues” though the beach is very
fine. A mile above comes west
Brighton Beach, where hotels and
summer gardens are thick, and the
big Centennial Observatory offers a
fifty mile view of, Old Ocean; the
Aquarium exhibits its wonders of the
deep; the big three-story Ocean Pier
offers its manifold attractions, as Ger
man bands bombard your cars at
every turn. Two huge railroad de
pots stand here from whose wide
doors the crowd pour steadily out
ward from morn till dewy eve, and
where, till midnight, every portal is
choked with throngs wending their
way homeward again.
A marine, narrow gauge railroad
now runs from Norton’s Point to
West Brighton, bringing crowds who
prefer the sail down' the bay to the
all-rail route. Half a mile further
east stands the hotel Brighton on
“Brighton Beach.” It is a huge
building ofhandsome design, finished
throughout in Eastlake, with piezzas
50 to 75 feet broad running the
whole length. Hundreds of people
sit on these magnificent piazzas at
.suppcr, while the band from' a big
stand directly in front discourses
such music as you would pay a couple
in midwiuter to hear at Steinwey’s
or the Academy, while often ten to
fifteen thousand people crowd the'
plunked walks around. The Brigh
ton beech railway has its depot di.
reetly in the hotel. It would be pre
sumption to attempt a. description of
this beautiful scene at night, with the
long lines of brilliant lights, the
dense masses of ever-moving people,
the shouts of merry bethers in the
roaring surf, the sweet music, and,
above, the powerful rays of the
electric light, shedding a brightness
almost like that of the sun over all
scene. ,
Manhattan Beach lies about halfa
mill further East, and here stands
the hotel made famous by Mr. Amos
Corbin’s declaration that “no Jews
are wanted.” Lille Brighton it is
very large, very elegant and very
lucrative. A room to be secured in
either of these monstrous houses
must be engaged a week ahead. But
ever their immense profit from regu
lar boarders at 84.50 a day is
dwarfed by the income from the tens
of thousands who visit each of these
beaches (1 aily. '
Coney Island is mushroon. Ho
tels are going up with a rapidity that
would seem incredible, and all are
fairly coining money. Next year
we shall hayea big Seaside Park
just beyong Manhattan Beach and
goodness only knows what else.
Brighton has a race course now, and
Manhattan rivals it with a balloon,
while West Brighton. besides the
Aquariun and Observatory, boast a
variety theater.
Rocxuwnv,
still further east, upon an other Isl
and, draws its thousands and main
tainsa whole fleet of fine steamers
that ply between it and the city.
But I’m less than half through the
story of our summer comforts, and
