WASHINGTON OITY: SATURDAY .. crores August 11, 1960 ‘Sp of the Merning Press, The Constitution asks, «‘W bither are we Tend- ing,” and then proceeds to compute the position ef the old democratic ship ‘Constitution.’ It thinks that the Douglas part of the crew havea reckless tendency for the breakers The Intelingencer has “A Review,” of over six columns of that paper, on the political topics of the day -- twee U7 Mr. Joba Underwood, of Occoquan, is out in a card in the Alexandria Gazette, in which he says be bas made up Lis mind not to leave the State. U7 A call for a Douglas State Convention has been issued in North Carolina by Mr. Robert P Dick, a member of the National Executive Com- mittee. _ U7" The Pennsylvania Democratic State Con- vention met on Thursday, and was largely at- tended. The two wings of the party agreed to form an electoral ticket, headed with the names of Breckinridge or Douglas, as Presidential elec- tors at large, and that, in the event of the success of the enid ticket, the vote of the State shall be cast for Breckinridge and Lane, or for Douglas and Johnson, according as the result shall show which of the two tickets shall have received a majority of the votes cast for both. U7" The Breckinridge democracy of Maryland held their State convention at Baltimore on Thursday. All the counties and the city of Balti- more were represented. Hon. Joha R. Franklin presided The main business before the conven- tion being to select a straight-out electoral ticket, the Hon. Henry May and Dr. M_ R. Taylor, ap- pointed Presidential Electors from the third and fourth districts before the division in the party, were repudisted, and the Hon. Joshua Vansant and T. Parkin Scott, Esq., were appointed in their places All the other Electors have given in their adhesion to Breckinridge and Lane. The convention, before it adjourned, passed unani- mously a resolution “most heartily indorsing the administration of James Buchanan, President of the United States, belleving the same to bave ef- fectually conduced to the prosperity and happiness of those States, and conservative of all constita- tonal rights.” Mr. BRecaineivc CEPTANCE OF THE Ricumosv Convention —The following is Mr Breckinridge’s letter accepting the nomination by the Richmond Convention Lexinoton, July 26, 1560.

It originated in some unoccupied dwellings on Front street, and consumed some forty houses, among which wis the Episcopal Cnurch, one of the oldest struc tures in the State; also Bush’s Hotel, t es of Mr. Willsam Burkelead, Rider & Toadvine, C > J A.

A lacge number of dweilings oa Church Street were also entirely destroyed. A consider- able quantity of personal property, sundry goods, groceries, &c . were saved from the ruins. but the total loss is variously estimated st from $50,000 te $100,000.

By way of informing the uninitiated precisely bow a thousand guests arequietly and satisfactorily accommodated at asingle boarding place—half of them being people who from the enormity of their furbelows and flounces occupy twice the space, by the by, required by ordinary mortals of their own sex, (who in these days of the fashion of hoops require probably three times as much foom as their grandmothers did.) a brief descrip- ton of the proportions and some of the arrange- ments of Union Hall, Saratoga, may not be amiss here. The front building, erected {n 1502 by the grandfather of one of its present proprietors, for the purpose to which it continues to be dedicated to-day, is 200 feet long by 36 feet broad, and of two stories, with a dancing room 70 feet by 36 at one end, and a building jutting out bebind 90 by 36 feet, both of two stories. To the south on the Same (principal) street It has a brick building of lodging rooms, erected in 1558, 150 by 50 feet, and of four stories, near by which are a row of * gar- den cottages,” three stories high, with three Stories of deep piazzas. This row is 245 by 40 feet, and was erected in 1833. This spring the proprietors were induced by the anticipated pres- sure of this season’s visitors to add still another marnmoth building to their establishment; a brick wing on the north side, 241 feet by 55. Its hight is six stories, including the basement. That (the basement) Is devoted to culinary purposes, laun- dry, wasbing-room, ice lined store rooms for but- ter and milk, frnits and vegetables, and for meats, stewards ollice, &c.; the dining room for private servants and children is also there, and seats two handred at atime; also the dining room of the servauts employed by the proprietors, which seats is¥atatime. in the washing, drying and lroning room, though steam {s made as serviceable as possible, some thirty women are constantly em- ployed; while in the kitchen there seemed to be us many more regularly employed when I passed through it while breakfast was being served to gucsts in the story over bead; as well as quite as tmany diuing-room servants, down to fill orders for individual guests The clatter of the tongues of the latter, as they repeated to the cooks the de- mands made upon them, was not a littleamusing { was astonished at the rapidity with which so many and so various such orders were filled amid thelr noise and that of the mayy maids engaged in washing plates, dishes, cups, saucers, knives, f rks, glosses, &o There were half a dozen French cooks, fitting about in spotless white, from their flat head-coverings down to their shoes, the pastry and confectionery rooms, the bakery and the steam apparatus, and a donkey engine that forced all the cold and hot water required anywhere in the buildings, all throughout every building and story of the premises. ‘The single steam-generating apparatus furnisbes all the steam required in the kitchen to operate the long series of Luge steaming kettles for cooking the vege- tables, In the clothes-wasbing, drying and troning rooms, and in the carving room above head. On this Hoor were also various store rooms in which groceries required in the cooking and making of the pastry and confectionery are kept. Three large and very conveniently arranged ranges for cooking the meats attracted my attention there, as welles en admirable contrivance of one of the proprietors, fur separating the refuse grease of the kitchen from the water in which it ts washed from the china ware. It will be found of great use imevery kitchen, great or small; and 1 pre- sume itscost fer the use of an ordiuary private y could not be over two or three dollars. In the second story of this new wing is the dining- room, 24) by 55 feet, from the centre of which juts out the carving room, 50 feet by 14, from the long table of which, covered with a mammoth heater, all the teats, vegetables, dc , are directly served to the guests as called fur. ‘The rest of the length (41 feet) of this floor is used for the pantries re- quired for the proper service of the dining hall, in which no less than 130 waiters are now em- ployed. The four upper stories of this magnifi- cent wing ere devoted to spacious chambers, with a screen dvor and a solid door to cach, as well as fan lights and ventilators, and gas hes been intro- duced into every room. Water closets are upon each floor. The whole number of sleeping rooms upon the premises ts some 550, while It embraces also a suificlency of all the other apartments re- quired in such a mammoth carayausera. The lawn by which the buildings I have been de- scribing is surrounded on three sides, is about five acres in extent, and forms not only a delighifully- cool retreat for the grown guests, but a most en- play ground for the multitude of their dren I tiad more than a dozen servants from Wash. ington here, personally knowa to me; the pro. prietors prefer those from Baltimore and the Fed- eral Metropolis, when they can get them, for the reason of their greater civility and tractability than are evinced by the nor bern colored servants competing with them for employment here It gratified me exceedingly to hear from the pro- prietors of Union Hall thisevidently well merited en um upon those of Washington; and I trust that, thus deserving the confidence of their ein- ployers, hundreds, rather than dozens of them, will hereafter find profitable employment at northern watering places throughout the summer ‘The scene tn the principal avenue immediately after breakfast and at 5 p.m., when the visitors are sbout to take their forenoon and afternoon drives, is the most brilliant of the kind to be witnessed in this country. Hundreds here for the season keep their own carriages, all of which are elegant “‘turn-outs;"’ those of the snobs, a multi- tude of whom are always to be found here during the season, being of course the extremely desting ones Thus, at such times, one sees two or three hundred private, and really elegant public ve- hicles, and the finest collection of buggy and carriage horses conceivable, either pacing to and fro along the portion of the avenue on which the main hotels of Saratoga “immediately border, or standing awaiting occupants. The most elegant and recherche turn-out at Sar- atoga this season Is that of Mrs. Bennett. the wife of the editor of the New York Herald; a pony phaeton, evidently built in Paris. Mrs. B. drives her pair-in-hand, herself, carrying, jauatily, her parasol, attached to a delicate ivory whip, which is thus made to serve, very gracefully indeed, a double purpose. She drives capitaily, and there are few teams there that can poss her ponleawheil she f:ncies to put them upon their mettle. As seen in her catiiage abe looks under thirty years of age; which cau hardly be, as she has ason some eighteen or nineteen years old. From the remarks made around me, as she mounted her phacton, It is clear that she is the envy of the envious of Ler sex ut Saratoga; as, well she may be, for of all the ladles bere ussembied, she creates sation, yo Where she will. The uth is she is the Snest lookiag woman bere. So ail the men think; which, with ber notability as the wife of ber very remarkable lusband, is enough to set to chattering all the gossiping and envious tongues, especially whenever she appears, whip and * ribbons” in hand, either on the ave nue or wpou the fashionable and magnificent lake drive, where one sees sach # sight of mounted aod dashing wealth as is to be seen no where else on this continent WwW.
