CHICAGO AS A SUMMER-RESORT, 'Tho people of New York City, and of varl- ous othor localities East and West, havo been for many days passing through a more than ordinary degreo of hot weather, the number of cases of sunstroke in one day In Now York exceeding forty, of which no less thant thirty-one victims died, During the recent Convention fn Ciucinnatt that city: oxperl+ enced almost a furnace-heat, while tho auf fering in other Western ond Enstern towns lina been very great. During all this time Chiengo has been on- joying her usual season of pleasant aut ngreenblo weather, rendered delightful by cool nlghts and cooling breezes by day. Wo do not menn that Chicago hasno hot weather, nor that the weather docs not at times bo- come oppressively warm in tols ety; but hot weather in Chicago Is atwaya of a compara- five character, When itis hot elsewhere tt {9 vool in Chiengo; when the wenther gets hotter alsowhere, thon there isin increase of demperature fn this city, but It never gets 80 hot In Chicago but that (1 other citles It 1s 80 much hotter that It ty destruetive of health and of life, and the hot wind sweeps through the streats like a consuming blast from the furnace, striking men to thelr death In tholr stores, doorways, and residences. ‘The universal reengnition of Chicago as the most destrablo place in the country ts a Summor-Restirt 1s evidenced by the crowded condition of our hotels, boarding-houses, and other temporary residences, Included inthe meneral designation of Chicago as a place of refuge from thy heat-auftering of other celtics, Enst and West, Is the great number of minor places within a ctrent of twelve hours! rido fromthis elty, Ln the first place, the summer yisitors ‘throng to und Al up the suburban towns and villages which stretel) north and south along the lake shore, and which dot tho prairies west of the elly. ‘These are all within two hours’ travel of tho city by cat or by pont.

Leaving Chicago ntdo'clock in the ufternoon, the romotost of ‘these places cnn he reached. by bedtime, and the means of passing from one to the other of these delightful nooks ts so great that the Journey 1s one succession of pleasure. At any hour the excurstonlst can find its way back to Chicago and here enjoy that concen- tration of metropolitan luxury and atmos- pherle purity—the unton of the comforts of agreatclly with the delights of refreshing Inke breezes and pure water—whieh Chicago alone offers to the enervated and heat strickon Intiabitants of less favored parts of tho country, " Chiengo has during the Inst .ten years establishex and put in operation a ayetem of parks and poulovards not equaled by any- thing in the country. No placo of summer resort in the United States nifords tho visitor stich an atea of brond highways for driving agmay be found In the boulevards which now encirele this elty, and which connect a system of parks which Ina few years more wilkhayo no rival.

Lyman ‘Trumbull, who, asa United States Senator, was conspicuously engaged in framing the Reconstruction acts which Gen, Hancock, now Democratic candidate for TRIBUNE: THURSDAY, SULY 1, 1880. Intinintes that there ought to be an Investl- gation, There has beon an Investigation. He sugeests that It ought to be made under the auspices of some other party than the Republican party, It has teen made under othorauspiees. Senator Davis and his party in Congress had tho matter In chargu for couple of years, and reported, after the most thorough and aenrebing examination, that the apparent diserepancles werd entirely dua tothe systemof bookkeeping at whieh Mr. Trumbull now affects to anders ‘Tho follow= ing paragraph te extracted from an nrticle i tho leading Democratle paper in this city, which commented upon this portion of Trumbull’s speech? : A Ho sali that tho hooks of tho ttrensury "show dleerepaneics between the enc iptA and expenedl. tures amounthye to tens of millions of dollars.” ‘Thia nllegition fe nn old one, that was minte bee fore the Cincinnati party: captured the Capitol, fod tirged nea renaon why they should capture It, Since that event, n Senator of that party Gir, Davis, of Weet Virginiy, nemed with the tiuthority of the National Congress, ling con- ained more than a year in exanining tho books of the ‘Trensury to" vorify that, Miegation, Hy has failed toto st, Ue hia not discovered tn tho books of tho Treasury. any dlscrepaney whatever betweon tho receipts and tho dishursementss ut. on the contriry, the examination tins prayer the nltegation to be unfounded, to the satisfae- tion of tha Sennte, by whose authority the ox amination was mrde.

At this Into dif, -tifteen years sineo tho, close of our.. War, pf,the Mevellion, n letter. from Mr. Herbert Spencer hng been mado public, in the voluinns of the Now York Tribune, seoking to fasten the enuses of tho English sympathy with the ex-Confudorates upon the loyal people of thls country. Tho letter was written eleven years ago and sent to Prof. Youmaus, of New York, for pub- Heation, but upon the advice of friends tt was not printed. Mr. Spencer has never been satisfied with ils withdrawal, and has insisted that {t shall appear, which accounts for its present publication at a time when } its foree Is spent, if it over had any, and when it can effect no other purpose except to gratify personal vanity or revive unpteas- ant memortes of events that had been con- signet to oblivion, At tho thno of its writ- ing it was thought by Prof, Spencer's friends it night arouso a prejudice agalust him; he will have only himself to blame If it arouse aslmllar prejudico now, as the publication is of his own secking. 2 Mr. Spencer's totter {s almost entirely made up of extrac!s from English newspa- pers, intended to show that, downto January, 1861, English .opinion was favorable to the North, opposed to secession, and hostile to tho spread of sinvery. Ha does not deny that after that tine there was a change of opinion, but hoeharges this change upon the suspl- lous and hostile manner in which the North- ern people regueded his countrymen, 1t seems hardly worth while for Mr. Spencer to wait until this tute day to imike such an extraordinary statement as this, which would do discrealt to m pottfogger. ‘Taking Mr, Spencer's own statement, we find that before the War actually broke out, and while there was a doubt whothur the North would fight President, was sent to Loutsinna by Acting President Johnson to nullify, !s (uotwith- standing the palpable contradiction Involved) the Democratir candidate for Governor of property is estiinated to bo ovor $1,000,000, The tacks of tho Burlington & Quincy and tho Chi- engo& Alton Rullroads aro threatened below Quinoy, and travel on both ronds beyond that polnt will bave to bo susponded for Bevoral days, ‘Tose Democrats in, Couok County who are deluding themsclyca with the tond hope that thoro will be no “enthusiasm” In tho Repub- Hean campaign this fall may dismisa the idea at Addresses were ulso lcrutury Evarta and ex-Mivlstor hools, one iy cach which shall be tha gamo ntral High-School has beet, lu curriculum of studlos, Mr. for any yeara nssistant to wed tho latter pot the High-Benool of the vaigu aculltman of lane once frou their minds, ‘ho organization of the Centrul Gurfield Club shows very cleurly that the Republican party means bualness, and that it will lack nolther the men nor tho moans to proscouty w sueecesful canipaign, It isa no- ticeable fact that all the officers chosen acceptod with alacrity, though some of them are busi- Noss-mon muck pressed for time, and having groat Intercsta roquirlug thoir vonstant atton- ton.

There was In, wullty no change in tho feelings of aur peoply;until they wera changed by absolutely hosttl acts, ‘The Now York ibiile _ effectually squeiches Mr, Spencer's sophdtry with clta- tlons from the speeches of Yr, Uright about the perlod of 1801, and. certainly Mr, Bright was Ina much better position to know the real opinions of the English people and the relations thoy held to us than fit Sponcer, who was not !n the political world, could ever be. A brief refurehyu to thesa speoches will show tho real causes {yhich lay atthe bottom of English hostilttys, Ono of theso was English greed, In'o$; at p public dhinor, Mr. Brightsaid; + - Bo long na men béiteyed that tore would do no war so long overybody condoned thu South, We wore afraid of a wat af America, bucause wo know that one of the great indusiyles of our sauuitry qepended ‘upon, {ho continiiwus recep- tion of its raw muterial from the Southorn States... . When the people of Englund found that the North wory qbout to raalat, and that war wus Inevitunly, thoy turned thyir eyes _from the Bouth, whieh was tie begins of tho War, and looked to the North, saying that if tha North would not resiat there could bauo war, wad thon we should yct pur cotton, aud trade would xo On as betore; and, therefore, fryn tant hour W& this not wo fow persons In tha pountry who at first condemned the South have been iu- codsant In thoir condemnation of the Nurih. A year before this tlio Mr. Bright hit upon another cause, whon he satd ina publle speech: "When I-epeak to’ gentlemen in private upon this matter and hear thelr own caudld opinion mean those who ditler from mo on this qnestton—thoy generally end by saying that the Republic ts too grent and too powerftd, and that {tts better for us —not by ‘us? meaning you, but the govern {ng classes and the governing polley of England—that it should bo broken wpe? A yeur before this, aven, at the very tine Mr, Spencer !s commending Engltsh friondalip loward this country, Mr. Bright was gallant- jy advocating our cause and eensuring ment- bors of Parliament nnd othors for thelr openty-oxpressed hostility to the North, In terms of honest indignation ho assailed such mer as Lord John Russell, Sir Robert Peel, and Mr, Roebuck, who wore prominent rop- resontatlyes of tho provailing hostile opin- fon, and as to tha paper from which Mr, Spencer quotes so profisely and qpproving- ly Mr, Bright anid: “We find that which fs reputed abroad, and has hithorty been be- Moved In ot home, as the most powerfal rep- resontative of English opinton,—at lenst of tho richer clnsses,—we find in that partteular newspaper there has not been, since Mr. Lin- coln took office in March Inst 18 President of tho United States, one fair, and honorable, and frlendly article on Amertean affatrs.” It is neadicas to nulliply evidence to prove what 1s publicly notorious, the enmity aud animosity of. Great Britain from the very outset to the close of the War.
