The guide books tell us that thisis the largest island of the northeastern coast, aad that it was the “first spot in New Englaad occupied by Europeans, and the only oue io- babited by them in the glorious days of Queen Bess.” There the historical the first camp meet. ing beld bere over forty years ago. “Things were very different then,” we are told by the few rematuing ones who have shouted ia the grove for forty summers; but I doubt if camp-ground manners and regulations have altered so materially since those primitive days. A solp's topsaildrawa over a roagn frame work bas not been greatly improved upon by some of the rader tents of to-day, where straw and a blanket serveas @ couca, and a curtain Stretched across forms the iwo @partments it boasts of.

Why,oae m'ght jast as well live out of doors,” 1s the verdict of every stranger who wanders through the bewilier- ing labyrinth of cottages that surround ihe meeting tent. The streets are concreted aid lighted by lamps, but are narrow eaouza Lo shake hands across from cottage to cottaze. The architecture of these miniature dwel- lings, thovgh 1p the main similar,show great vartety of individual taste, many of tucm being highly suggestive of gay little pigeon boxes. They reut, farniehed, from a haa- dred and fifty to five hundred dollars a sea- son. None are plastered. and very few have any windows, wide double giass doors throw open almost the entire front and rear of the dwelling. Every at aglance see over the én! house, but then they seem thrown open for show, forall are prettily, some elegantly farnisned. There is no privacy within the camp ground at all. Just think of livinginsuch a manner! Woy ’tls even said that at night neighbors and passers-by can hear all the husband's scold- dng their wives, 80 conjugal infelicitiea are known even within the so-called Parad ise of the camp ground. Where every syliable can be overheard it must have required some courage on the part of the owners to bave named their dwellings ‘Harmoay,” “Peace” and “Tranquility” cottage. If nothing @lse, the singing alone is enough to make such @ title a mirnomer. SANKEY'S HYMNS are the order of theday. Go where you will tbrough the camp nds the meélodeons &r2 in operation, and in the evening ple congregate in. the different cottages fo hold praise meetings. Ail style in the matter of dress is laid by on the camp grounds, aud many of the primitive Metuodist ideas ro- garding it are closely observed here by the older members. The general deshabille at morning prayers, which are already held iu the large tent, show very clearly how littie attention is here paid to what tu most watec- Ing places is so important an item. In the center of the ground a pulpit and number of benches are enclosed by a huge frame-work, over which when ihe meetings are held a huge canvas js stretched, forming a tent. The services this year will commence A. gust 21, lasting @ week. Moody and Sank were eon, Solicited to conduct the me: logs, but declined on the plea of not wish to appear to favor sectarianism.

OAK BLUFFS is what is Known as “heretic’s” groands; that is, beyond the limits of Methodism. The finest cottages are here and a new hotel—the Sea View—draws thither a great deal of gay life. With old ocean at its very feet, the view from the piazza is magnifi- cent. The promenade is lined with seats and lighted orilliantiy in the evening.

But once upon those lofty cliffs in the braci and there are volumns of description for the piace. The cottages like those down at the grove open widely at the front, but here are no facing neighbors, nothing to be let in bat the cores breeze and the ever-changing marine views with all the different Pe of tinted water and moving sail. Sitting idly on the piazza and looking over the noit- ding daises that fringe the bluffs to the dancing waves ying white caps be- yond we can but feel @ lively interest in the bumberless little that play so con- spicuous @ part in the picture. Sometimes 6 fintter of a pocket handkerchief is «eeu far across the water—nothing but a littis pene will on the part of somebody to be sure ut itlooks sohearty. It has been estimated taat upward of sixty thousand sail 8 AD- nually in sight of the Highlands. The other evening a whole fleet came across the water and anchored foy the night justin front of us. A royal shdde in the glowing sunset sky —for we do have exquisite sunset here—rei- dened the sails flapping idly to and fro aod tinged the quit water.

He ved to direct the reporier to farnish the Congressioval Printer with a copy of the Words as ullered in debate oa Satarday for publication in the revised edition of tue ttecord. Mr. Merrimon said be could not tell with. outsceing the manuscript whether he had made the change.

Mr. Lord then asked leave for Mr. Lap- bam to print a Mr. Carpenter said it would be manifestly Upjust to require the conneei to reply to-day, and the argument of Mr. Lapham, the arga- ment of the managers, to come here in print to-morrow. He tusisted that the counsel for defence shoula not be required to close until they could have time to read the argument. No covrt in the world would require it. The argument was directed to be printed, and Mr. Carpenter's suggestion ie/tas an open question. Mr. Jenks then proceeded to address the court. He said that the question now for the decision of the Senate was as to the guilt or innocence of the accuced. He argued that the question of jurisdiction had been decided and that a verdict of not guilty could not be gg on the ground of want of jurisdiction; for if they had power to say be was not guilty, they bad the power to say he was guilty. He argued, and quoted authorities to sustain the position, taat taking a gitt was equivalent loaccepting @ bribe. He as- se.ied that the question whether Evans charged more or less for goods after the contact had not the slightest bearing on the case. He contradicted the as sumption of the defence that the posi was given to Mr. Marsh for his kindness to tbe family of Secretary Belknap, for the evidence showed that in August, before Marth ever raw Mrs. Belknap, he had been told by the Secretary to find the best post apd it would be all rignt. He charged tnat there was & false record of the application which appeared to have beea received on 16th of August, and tbe traders’ boo«, Kept by Crosby, shows that he was recommended by Job Stevenson and Senator Suerman. The fact was that Stevenson did not recom mend bim til the 2d of November, and Senator Sherman did not recommend him at all. He next reviewed the testimony rela- live to the enlargement, of the reservation, and claimed that it was clear that largement was brought about through the exertions of Marsh.
