Saratoga Sprinas, July 29, 1865. ‘The arrival ef Lieutenant General Grant and staff at this fashionable resort, on Thursday morning, caused quite @ commotion among the fashionables gathered here. It gave to Saratoga a lion, and broke the monotony ‘which has existed for some time past. The whole town, of course, has been in a blaze of glory. There has been ene string of scenes of excitement and commotion ever ‘wince his arrival. Have you seen Grant? How doos he Yok? Where is the big Injun? and questions similar, are asked in all directions. The anxiety to sce the great ebieftain of the war exceeds anything ever witnessed in this locality. His arrival and sojourn will be re: Dy thoeo who were present fong afler the gossip and mumerous routine scenes of the fashionable fe fias been forgotten. It forms a pleasant episode in the life of many of the gay Sajourners at this seat of fashion and display. From early in the morning until late at night—yes, until the ‘small hours this morning—the Geneval was beset on all ides; and between the pulling and hauling to see who sbould have the honor of showing him the sights, and the immense array of beauty and crinoline around, he y must have suffered to an extent which no porson but ‘those who possess that degree of modesty of Grant can fm the least appreciate. ‘WHO SHALL MONOPOLIS® THE GENERAL? From the moment of the General’s arrival here there has deen one of the richest squabbles to appropriate him to the benefit of this or that hotel, or some political clique, known in the history of Saratoga. The proprietors of ‘Union Hall and Congress Hall have been at work trying to secure him as a guest at their hotels. Both had adver- tised that he was to stop there, and rooms which he and his party were to occupy were pointed out to the Suess p grins Facie evidgnee quarters had been ‘engaged | him during rpg rooms in both cases were kept vacant, awaiting his arrival. But one or , the other must be disappointed. Who that would be soon became an exciting topic among the guests of the several hotels. But this was soon put at rest by the arrival of the General and party at Congress Hall. Then came a scene of universal rejoicing among the guests at that hotel, much ‘to the chagrin and disappointment of the proprietor and guests of Union Hall. Leland was especially chapfalien, ‘Dut manifested a determination to bring the General over and lionize him at least a portion of his time. Then fol- lowed a rich scene of wirepulling and management equal to the most skilful performances of the politicians to carry their points in convention. In this squabble for the mastery were engaged uot only the hotel proprietprs but the numerous political cliques stopping at the different hotels, Thurlow Weed was at Congress Hall, and ho was charged by the politicians of the opposite hotel with monopolizing the General and trying to absorb to himself some of his glory. It was urged that he and his ‘pumerous aid-de-camps wore responsible for taking him away from Union Hall. Thic, as a matter of course, aroused the politicians on the other side of the street, and, with the fluttering, running back and fosth, flank ‘movements and strategy of Leland and his political guests, there was a decidedly rich scone. Moses H. Grin- nell imagined this an opportunity to pay off Weed, and went to work with all the energy and skill in his power. ‘Hours were spent in the effort to capture Grant on the one side, and to retain him on the other. The General all of this time was quietly enjoying himself in the cool re- treate of Congress Hall, watching the movements and puff. ing away at his cigar, while the cliques and factions wero sweating and blowing, and almost melting with heat, » during their efforts to soe who should have the honor of monopolizing him during his stay. All that they could do failed to prevail upon him to move his bag and bag- gage away from Congress Hail; he had, under the advice of a number of his staff, put up there, and there he was determined to stay while he remained at the Springs. As to the politicians, he seemed to care but little about them, and paid no attention to either side of the con- troversy, as far as they were concerned. But the contest finally became so strong, and so much feeling was mani- fested, that the General concluded to put an end to the whole affair by dining at Union Hail at three o'clock on Friday afternoon. This was quietly circulated around among the guests, and at that hour there was a grand meh for the dining hall, and 4 general squabble to be present on that important occasion. The excitement over # have the honor of lionizing the Gone the question ‘How eball I dr 1 who was to and if wear | subride at dinner?” was the great subject among the guests of the fair sex. nme oieER PANTY At precisely three o'eloc! ral Groat and party were ushored into the dining tiall by Mr. Leland, the proprietor of Union Hall, and mo 1 up the centro ated at ning cross. end of stooned. aislo to the middie of tho hall, aud w ! a table on the left hand side of the aisle, 1 Wise of the room. Against the wall ait tho table was the|Américan flag, graceful) was tho only degoration which differed from the usual custom. General Grant was oscorted to the seat At the south ond of tho table, and sat with his back to (he Mag, whero that were in the dining room could peo his fi either front or side view— pccording to their position, At his Joft was Mra @rank and on his right Mrs. Leland. At the left of Mrs. Grant sat Moses H, Grinnell, and next to him was Mrs. Bige- low, wife of the American Mimister at Paris. At the left of Mrs. Bigelow sat Colonel Babcock; next to ‘him was Colonel Potter, also of General Grant's staff, At his left was Mrs. B. G, Wainright, who was supported on her left by Colonel Parker, the “big Indian’? of the General's staff. Atthe north end of the table, and immediately opposite to General Grant, was the millionaire, William B, Astor, of New York. He was supported on his right by Mr. B.‘G. Wainright, and on his left by Gevernor Buck- ingham, of Connecticut, At the left of Governor Buck- ingham sat A. Badeau, General Grant's private secre- tary. Thgp came Mr. Muller and lady; next to the lat- ter was J. C. Hamilton, of New York, and at his left was Mr. Leland, the proprietor of the hotel. ‘Thus formed the circuit of the table. Justasthe party were seated, the band on the piazza of the dining hall struck up “Hail to the Chief,” and continued to play jotic airs at intervals until the distinguished — the hall, The spacious dining room was filled. early one thousand guests were seated at the several tables; the Gencral, however, was not molested during his dinner hour, but permitted to enjoy comparative quiet, being subjected only to the inquisitive gau? of the numerous guests. From the dinner table he repaired to the parlor of the Union Hotel, and was then presented to numerous gaily attired ladies. The General at every step manifested great embarrassement; he evidently feels more at home when facing a line of bayonets than an array of beauty and fashion, for he worked his way out of the parlors as soon as possible and disappeared in the crowd in front. Wherever he went a crowd followed, and if any person. desired to know where he was, all they had to do was to look for the crowd, and there he was sure to be found, trying his best to get away. A RIDE AND A Ball. About six o’ctock in the afternoon Mr. Leland made up a party and drove the General out to the lake, and then took a sail on the small steam craft which plies back and forth on that delightful sheet of water, his arrival at the wharf, to enter the buat, the engineer blowed his whistle as a salute, and a small cannon forth in honor of the event. An hour or more was spent sailing on the lake, when the whole Ree. sat down to a lunch at one of the hotels near the landing, at the conclusion of which they returned to the Springs. By the time of their arrival the evening pertormances at Leland’s Opera House had commenced, and the General and party were immediately taken there to witness the representation of Colleen Bawa. AT THE THEATRE. His entrance at the Opera House was greeted with ap- plause; but there remained a much tore important Manifestation of the gratitude of the people than this impromptu demonstration. Those who have witnessed the rendition of this play will remember the scene where the person repeenting te character of Miles passes down a rope to rescue Colleen from the water. As the person ting this character was clinging to the rope and about half way down, he sung out, “I' will stick to this line if it takes mo all summer.” ’ This re- mark was greeted with roars of applause, shaking the building to its very centre. The General acknowledged the compliment with a graceful bow; but it was two or three minutes before the tumult subsided sufficiently for the play to go on. From the Opera House he was escorted to the ball room at tho Union Hotel, where a hop was in progress, t up for the benefit of the bands. He remained there but a few moments, when he returned to Congress Hall. Mr. Leland thus m: ed to mo- nopolize Grant from three o'clock until balf-past ten P. M., notwithstanding the other house had him as their est. i The hop at the Union Hotel was slimly Ceemusisen tor was, on the whole, afailure. The ball at Con, i, having been gotten up in honor of the General that was the centre of attraction. Those who wished to see and be seon, to observe and be observed, made their prepara- tions to be present at this gathering. It was a piece of — on the part of the managers of the hop at Union Hall to attempt to get up an opposition under the cir- cumstances, But it only shows the extent to which the ‘opposition between the landlords of the different hotels 4s curried here, even to the detriment of good taste and sind eis Roo. THE BALL 4 ‘The dancing hall at the Congress Hotel isa spacious affair and well arranged for important occasions like this, and will accommodate from twelve to sixteen sets of dancers at the same time. A row of chandeliers through the centre were well lighted up, and three or four small ‘flags fastened to each, while back of the band, at the north end of the hall, wasa large flag gracefully festooned, enlivening the room. were_all the deco- rations to be seen in the halls. The impression which must have been made on the mind of the stranger, as hé pep he agora wero pared te dite of the country, m' ve been highly pleasant and Afyis in the extreme. SMe « ALARM OF FIRE. A few minutes before eleven o'clock, just as the danc- ing had common: but before over one-half of the guests had arrived, acry of fire was heard, and at almost the same instant it was annouced that Con; ‘Hall was on fire. The grees rush and ecramble which followed beggars a!l descrip- tion. There was a grand stampede in the ball room, the music stopped, the dancing ceased, and u rush was made for the door. The ladies gathered up their expansive skirts ang trails and nervously clu to their hat shall we do?’’ e scene @ rich one for the pencil As the excitement was at its height and the stampede bid fair to result in the most ruinous goneeaneness, Recorder Hoffman and City In- spector Boole plant themselves at the door and sung out that it was a false alarm. In a few moments they had quelled the tumult, and by that time a messenger arrived announcing that there was no fre. The smoke which had been seen all came from burning straw and shavings in a stove in the vicinity of the Order again re! and on went the dance as joyous as though nothing pened. The excitement was not all confined to the ball room. There was a grand rush for the hotel, as the cry that Congress was on fire echoed thi h the atreet. The smell of fire was plainly perceptible across the street, and the smoke could be seen on the front portico of the building. A large number of ladies were still in their rooms dressing, and they could be seen half dressed emerging from their rooms with bundles, nervously iy ing to . Others were rushing around crying, “My children, ‘ch, my children!’ The little ones, quietly stowed away, were disturbed in their slumbers, and be- fore the excitement could be quelled many of them were awakened and found themselv:s transpot to the open air, Had it not been for the presence of mind of the proprietors of the hotel and many of the , Who ascertained the cause of the and immediately stationed themselves at the seve entrances and at the head of the stairs in different of the building, and thus the excited multitude that there was no fire, the most serious consequences must have resulted from the stampede. As it was, no- bog was hurt, nobody burned, and the whole thin, died away. Thus much of a bubble from the burning of fe bandtul of straw in astove. Really what small things kick up a tamult in this world. THE DANCE AND DISYLAY OF DRESS. the sides and ends of the room were two rows of which were filled soon after the dancing com- menced, and were alternately occupied by the fair guests of the occasion, who took theirtarn in the prom and dance. Gen. Grant entered the room soon after the alarm of fire had subsided, and completely set back by the it display of dress which ted hiseyes. He remained but a few minutes, when he took his hat and left. As he passed out of the door seme boing jeave this marked, “General, a are not going to carly?” “No,” the General; “I did not ex- to see so much dress here to-night. re oe k to my room to brush my hair.” Just then the struck up @ quadrille—away went the dancers, {ripping the fantastic toc to the quick notes of the music, was joy and happiness.

Dur- ing the intermission ice cream, cakes and lemonade were passed around—an agreeable change from the elab- orate suppers served up on such occasions in large cities. ‘The intermission was, therefore, spent in the ballroom. When the dancing was resumed all were thus ready to take part, The interest was kept up nearly to the ast. About one o’clock many of the mere ers-on com- menced leaving the room; but the dance continued until about three o'clock, when it closed with the ‘Virginia executed with all the honors, all who were pres- that time taking part in the d THE DISPLAY OF DRESK In asserting that the ball was @ grand success and in every way an elegant affair, I but echo the sentiment of every person present.

It was got up 2 for the express purpose of honoring Ir @ man can be honored by aut display of dress, then General Grant has been , I venture to say, to an extent greater than ever to the lot of any other person in this country, The y had thirty-six hours to prepare for ihe ball, have beon regular attendants at the g for the last sixteen years declare that 1. 2. ent eed a gathering that could in the least cd with it.

There was a great profusion of tarletans, plain and richly brocaded; lemon, pearl, lavender, blag, crim- son, pink, green, black and garnet colored silke, and tulles of ail vyarteties—theee various shades mingling together and presenting all the changing scenes of @ kaleidoscope, Conspicuous among the dancers was Mra, Brigadier Geueral Hardie, dressed in an elegant pink , with a long train, white lace shaw) apd pearl damond Py . NEW YORK, MONDAY, JULY 31, 1865. Most of the time dancing in the same set wes Mrs. T. Young, of New York, with a dress of white tulle, elaborately puffed, and trimmed with scarlet silk points, mingling on all sides with the puffs, a eng ee lace shawl, coral and diamond ornaments, her tastily arranged, She was very stylish, Among the representatives of Fifth avenue were Mrs. Baldwin and the Misses Baldwin. The former was attir- ed in @ garnet-colored satin, with point lace trimming, and headdress of the same, and rich diamond ornaments. ‘The Misses Baldwin each wore pink tarletan over white skirts, with silver stars in their far ‘Mingling in the promenade was Mra. Chase, of Fifth aveaue, dressed in black, with diamond ornaments. The judiciary of New York city was represented b Mrs. A. D. Russel, attired ina heavy green silk, wit black lace flounces, trimmed with d’Alencon flounces and pink and coral ornaments. Also Miss 8. Russel charmingly dressed in.a white tarle- tan, with illusion overdress, gracefully looped with the lily’ of the valley, headdress of the same, with pearl ornaments, presenting an attractive appearance. Mr. and Mrs. Recorder Hoffman were also mingling in ‘this joyous scene, Mrs. H. being in a white and pink silk, with pear] ornaments. Baltimor? was largely represented by some of her ‘most attractive belles, many of them exceedingly fasci- mating. Mayor Russe! led Miss Daniels, one of these belles, through several polkas and quadrilles, She was dressed in white silk, with tulle overdress, looped with stars. Miss Fanny Daniels was attired in a heavy white silk, with illusion overdress, and bive flowers in her hair. The¥ were among the most charming ladies at the ball. (iss Mary Alexander, of Baltimore, who was also quite a belle, wos dressed in a rich pearl colored silk, ele- gantly trimmed bands of scarlet velvet, long velvet sash and scarlet flowers in her hair. Miss P, Alexander wore a white brocatel tarletan, pearl earrings and necklace. Mrs. Fisher, of Baltimore, was ‘attired in a white mus- lin brocaded with humming birds, trimmed with scarlet, with emerald and ruby ornaments. There were also others from the Monumental City, and the display of beauty from that section on this occasion proves that Baltimore has some other attractions besides her monu- ments. ‘ T find that I have been lost in the midst of the charm- ing g) and lost in wonder at the display of dress, and neglected to place the Lieutenant General's y at the commencement of these descriptions. I will now turn tothem, The General did not dance, but most of his staff and nearly ail the ladies in tho party were on the floor at different times. The General wore his uniform, with the three stars, and looked the same as on all other ns. The General spent over an hour in the ball- room, shaking hands with those who were presented. About midnight, with three or four members of his party, he took a seat near the orchestra stand, and there watched the dancing, and appeared closely reviewing the mag tonnt toileta, and, in fact, almost lost in wonder and amazement at the display before him. Mra. Grant ‘was becomingly dressed in a lilac silk, point lace trim- po hair arranged in curls, with a wreath of natural lowers. Mrs. Bigelow, wife of our Minister in France, wore a black Loong aril puffed, and hair in curls, ‘Miss Sarah trons, of Barat, was attired in @ heavy black silk, thread lace shawl, diamond ornaments and white flowers in her hair. ‘Miss Fanny Marvin, of Saratoga, presented a charm- ing appearance in a white silk, handsomely looped up with lace and pink roses, diamond ornaments and hair arranged in puffs and curls. ‘Miss Mary Marvin wore a white alpaca, trimmed with thread lace, 901 made 4 la Pompadour. Mrs. Dr. Bapcoc , of Saratoga, was dressed in a black silk, white shawl, natural flowers in her hair and dress, ‘This comprises the party of General Grant. Most of these ladies mingled in the dance, and were generally tripping the fantastic toe with members of the staff or other military gentlemen present. Having described the court party, let us once more turn to the numerous other elegant toilets present— for there are a large number and a great variety still ck. The national capital was well represented by Mrs. Asta Burugsa, wife of the Chilean Minister, dressed in a rich silk, raded with scarlet flowers, and agdiamond cross. ‘Mrs. Chas. Sherrill, of Washington, “was attired in a white brocaded moire antique, Pompadour corsage, trim- med with chenile fixings, diamond ornaments, and hair handsomely crimped. Euro) aristocracy was Tauipr Greeeed ta wine oes of the Duke of Newcastle, richly in white, em- broidered with pale green, with a zouave jacket, diamond and pearl necklace. This’ drexs, with her light hair and white countenance, made her quite attractive. Bleeding Kansae had her representative on this festive eccasion. Hon. A C. Wilder and lady were every- where 1o be seen. Mrs, W. was attired in a rich blue silk, with deep flounces of white lace hair grace- fully arranged. In their coi y was Hunter, dressed in a pink silk, with pink illusion over ekirt, and was quil i otis seria a there to represent Providence ; dressed in a rose-colored moire antique; was quite stylish. Nor must we pass unnoticed ‘Miss Pomeroy, of Pittstield, Mass., attired in « bright green silk, low corsage, trimmed with satin and lace and *Secupying 8 the end of th 4 & prominent position at the ent 1e room was Sirs. Chancellor Walworth, of dressed ina lemon-colored satin, with deep flounces of thread lace, thread:lace shawl, garnet and carbuncle ornaments. ‘The city of New Orleans was also represented by Mrs. Atochi, who wore a corn-colored silk, with puffings of boa around the bottom and waist; headtiress of scarlet wers. Probably one of the most costly dresses at the ball ‘was that of Mrs. Charles Durant, of New York—a crim- gon satin, trimmed around the bottom with white satin in patterns, point lace shawi, diamond and pearl orna- ments, aud hair powdered with diamond dust. She was to be seen most of the time in the company of Mrs. Mol- ier, of Irvington, who, Ciel judges, was considered ie most elegant attired at the ball. She wore a heavy amber colored satin, with train, point lace shawl, dia- mond ornaments, hair arranged in heavy rolls, and pow- dered with dust. Bat there are other New Yorkers requiring our atten- tion, There was Mrs, Squirce, very becomingly attired in a pearl colored silk, trimmed with chenille fringe, arl and diamond ornaments; Miss Gilbert, of New ‘ork, in a plain white and pink’sash; Miss Godwin, of New York, dressed in a black silk, handsome puffed lace overdress, white flowers in her hair, and may be desi. nated us beautiful. Then there was Mrs. Brady, wife of the artist, at im a mauve colored silk, with dark trimmings; Mrs. George Gilbert, of New York, lilac sille, with @ brocaded tarletan overdress, diamond ornaments. ‘The salt city of Syracuse was represented by Mr. and Mrs. Austin Myers.

There were two sisters whose names I did not ascertain, dressed in corn colored silk trimmed with white and black, with beads. City Inspector Boole was there with his two daughters becomingly attired, mingling in the dance. ‘Thus T might cont the list for some time to come, and etill present some new and ‘attractive feature inithe style of dress and mention some new variety, but th are sufficient to give your lady readers some idea of the style and extent of dress at this more than successful ball in honor of General Grant. The grace, beauty and elegance were startling, and no wonder that General Grant bad to return to his room and brush his hair be- fore he could stand up against such an array, SOMETHING ABOUT THE BEAUX. Where there were #0 many belles richly attired, of course there must be numerous beaux. There were a 6 number, but not as numerous as the belles. In fact, the ladies complain that there are not Cyn tlemen to make the hops interesting to all the ladies, many of them being compelled to wait and take their turn in the dance, Among the gentlemen it, besides those already noticed, were Chancellor Walworth, Major Generals Carr and Graham, with numerous other officers of different rank, General Swain, of Governor Fenton's staff, The military officers seemed to attract the ladies, and were almost consiantly on the floor during the evening. Colonel Parker, the “big Indian,” was particularly sought after and was ee to trip the fantastic toe with a large number of belles, Howe, the sewing machine inventor, witb his lon locks, was there, Wheeler, of Wheeler & Wilson, le his factory and appeared thoroughly enchanted with the Saxe was wandering about to look up. ; Jerome, for once fore getting hia stocks, With the above we will dismiss the ball—tho grandest ever known at the Springs. After viewing all thus de- scrived, and much more, your readers will no doubt agree with the writer that all must have been ina ge condition to close the exercises With a Virginia reel at three o’clock in the morning. The public must not conclude that life at Saratoga poe jg One continuance of dancing and dress, There are other things worthy of attention. Having devoted considerable attention to dress and fashion, for the benefit of the ladies, let us turn to other features of Sara- toga life, and see if we do not find something attractive, 1 will commence with the system of COLONIZING THE OURSTS. The ap ce of Grant and the hot weather has in- creased the rush here during the past week. Already the Jeading hotels have been g)liged to colonize many thoir guests ka private houses in differopt portions of the town. Imagine for a moment that you register your name at @ ote) under the impression that you are to re- there while main in town, and on asking the clerk to be shown to your room, a colored porter—or shall I say, ‘in the moderna style of the radicals, colored ‘gentleman ?—stepa forward to perform that duty. The porter leads the way, and Just a8 you are trying to form some idea how many pair of stairs you will be obliged to climb, he emerges from the hotel into the street and wanders around in an indiscriminate search of the house aud room designated | by one word written ona piece of card. Of the exact loca- tion of the building, or whethor it really has any definite existence, the aforesaid porter has just as detinite an idea as yourself. After wandering aboat for half an hour and diligently inquiring of those met on the street whose manner indicates that they are residents of the town, you finally bring up at an un- pretending looking house on one of the side streets, and are there ushered into @ moderate sized room, with jest four pieces of furniture, besides a wash bow! which holds one quart plus—one pint of water, with @ wash bowl about the same dimensions, The four picees of furniture being a pine table, which is set apart as the washstand, one chair, an old fashioned French bedstead, and a’ bureau, which the maker in- tended for an enamelled piece of furniture, and you have the accommodations which your correspondent and several ethers who registered their names at Union Hall had awarded them at this fashionable resort. This we are told is our penalty for coming here without ladies, as they only accommodate gentlemen with ladies at the hotel, the bachelors and grass widowers being obliged to colonize, Let those who contemplate visiting this locality take warning from this fact and bring their lady friends along if they do not wish to enter at once into the prac- tice of colonizing and travelling a Sabbath day’s journey every time that they go to and from their rooins. After all, this colonizing system has ite bright as well as dark side. The tedious labor of climbing uP and down a half dozen flights of stairs, which is no trifling matter in these hot days, with the thermometer at eighty- seven in the shade at five P, M., is avoided, und a person is enabled to see the town, study its architecture and general design, as well as to obtain a better knowl- edge of the babits and characteristics of the natives. The noise, contusion and bustle of the hotels is ulso avoided, and, a8 an offset, a person has quiet rooms where, like Ik. Marvel, he can sinoke his cigar with none to mo- lest or make him afraid, and indulge in all manner of dre he may fancy. It isa fine way of leading a life litude at the very centre of fashion and galety. x ly no person will venture to make a call, for there ig no place to sit down. If they do call, they certainly will not remain long under such olroumsiances, Really, this colonizing system at Saratoga is like Mrs. Sparrow- grass’ dog—very good thing to have in the country. XUMBER OF VISITORS. Nearly all the hotels are full. The Union Hotel, kept by the Lelands, has about nine hundred guests. Last a at this time they about five hundred. Congress about seven hundred, Clarendon, which is also kept by one of the Leland, its full proportion according to its size. The Clarendon, by the way, is the coolest hotel here, being located on high ground, where a breeze can be obtained if anywhere. The other hotels are also well patronized, and numerous families, with their frie occupying cottages in different portions of the city. The number of guests set down at the hotels of course includes those who have been colonized. King fashion reigns supreme, and is more arbitrary than any monarch ever dared to be. Ladies are dressed in the most elegant attire that money can purchase, and where nature has not been lavish with her attractions the fault is made up with the hand of art. IMPROVEMENTS. The Opera House of the Lelands is quite a feature, and has added largely to the attractions. The drives about the Springs have been patronized, and those around the lake extended to the eastern shore. A new hotel has been opened on the cast shore of the lake at a point which commands one of the best views to be had of that sheet of water. It is kept by Mr. H. B. Myers, and bas already become quite noted for being a place for game breakfasts and dinners, without the ex- orbitant charges so universal at the other hotels poy paces This is onc of Ree Ss of Vanderbilt oge who can appreciate drive around the head of the take ie viegnty of the Springs, and the Cedar Bluff Hotel at the right nce for a resting place. It is, therefore, an im- portant feature here. Cag stone POLITICLANE. Balls, dress, game and drives do not make ap all the routine of berinas rlhire There are among the fashionables a large number of politicians, who have their say ag well as capital.sts and stockjobbers—during the i, few ves “epee (Bice!

There ap- pears to be a general idea that if the radicals continue their opposition to President Jobnson’s policy the Presi- dent, as @ mere policy of self-defonce, will be compelled to Tylerize the party and sock protection in the ranks of the democratic party, and make such concessions to them: as will insure him sufficient ge to his policy in reference to the adjustinent of the ‘Southern States through beyond any peradventure. Many of the negro suffrage agitators are also beginning to manifest fears on that point, aud to entertain misgivings as to the effect of the.r course, whether it really will not defeat the object which they desire the most,-by driving Mr. Johnson out of the party. These facts are having their influence upon the politieians, and will affect their action more or less in the coming cauvass, NEGRO SUFFRAGE TO KE IGNORED IN THIS STATE. The radicals, at least those who appear to be working with Governor Fenton and that class of the party, are evidently reparing to turn the cold shoulder on Chase and his schemes. To all pogo the md Justice's party will soon dwindle down to the Trif philoso. phers, the Custom House and internal revenue oftici and the cliques which they can control, as far as this is concerned. Politt.ans, as@ general thing, sire to be on the winning side, and the radicals see th | fate which the Chase plattorm has met with in thore Northern States where State conventions have been held, ind manifest no desire to meet the same fate in this State. Accordingly, men who, but a few weeks ago, were strong’ advocates of universal negro suffrage, by proclaination, are now asserting that the uestion will be ignored at the coming State Convention This Class assert that they are determined that nothing shall be done by the party in this State which will give the President the least possible excuse to go vver to the democracy for support. They even state that the Feu ton wing of the party will endorse Mr. Johnson in terms etronger than the Seward wing of the ay? With alt these professions it is quite certain that the Custom House and the loyal league influence in the State will make a desperate fight in the State Convention for the doctrine of universal negro suffrage; but if it bo true, as represented by those who are connected with the Fenton wing of the party assert, it will defeat the efforts of the Joyal leagues and Chase men, as fur as this State ts con- cerned at least. WHERE SHALL THE CONVENTION BE IIELD. The place for holding the next republican State Conven- tion is now being discussed very extensively amoung the managing ppiticians Many strongly favor calling it to meet at (his place at an carly day in September. ‘This is bagi f a idea. The medicinal virtues of the water would work off the bile from the stomachs of many of the delegates which always shows itself at the State conventions. At that period the fashionable visit- ors will have thinned out sufficiently to leave ample room for the politicians. ¥ not call the convention together here, and enable the politicians to obtain some benefit of the water as well as the fashionables. The Loyal hold their convention here on the 8th of August. The atmosphere will be cleared of all impu- rities which they to engender in one month, thus giv- ing the republicans full sway. NEW YORK CITY AFFAIRS. ‘The question of removing the Mayor and heads of de- partments in the New York city govern t is becoming An interesting subject, and is being canvassed in many other places beside New York city, It enters largely into the political gossip of this fashionable resort, and, in fact, is one of the staples of conversation among the Politicians, Of course each side of the question has its advocates, ‘the pros and cons are fully discussed, ‘The numerous phases and the many results which may arise from the contemplated action of the Governor been thoroughly canvassed in the last few days, The developments indicate that there are many new things in the world, and not a tew wonders in the politics and litical combinations in New York, which but few men ave thought ot, JRALOUSY OF PETER B, SWERSY AND STREET COMMISETONER CORNELL To understand the true position of ailurs it becomes necessary to examine into the personal relations with each other of some of the Tanmany politicians interest. ed in the departments of the city government. Peter B. Sweeny and Charles G. Cornell are the two Tam- many Hail representatives on the Democratic State Cen- tral Committee. There exists a jealousy with each other, Sweeny has maintained bis position through an alliance with Boole and the support of the Finance Department, while it is understood that Cornell, with his copperhe alliance, not only seoured the defeat of Boole for Mayor and elected Gunther, but also forced upon Tammany Hall the nomination of candidates last year which were defeated at tho election. Under the pending contro. versy of removing the heads of departments Sweeny is ready to make combinations to protect the Finance Do- partment, while Cornell is determined to take care os his Sa interests as Street Commissioner, regardless of all others, Sweeny’s movement last year for the Tammany Hall ‘war policy, at the time when the democratic party was rushing into the coppertiead church, was cut off by the Street tunent copperhead alliance with the Sey. mour interest, the understanding being that the removal proposition should bo set aside, and the heads of depart. ments remain intact in consideration of the defeat of the anti-Seymour programme in Tammany Hall, It was thus that the much-talked of Tammany. bolt under Sweehy at the Stato Convention was headed off and fell powerless, HRADS OF DEPARTMENTS—DRAPER AND THE TRIBCND. Virtually the same proposition, bOt extended to other offic ia now ag. renewed before Governor Fenton, and principal y by the same parties that instigated thé other removal moyement before Governor Seymour. A similar bargain is now reported to have been made by the Street Department, the differences being that the alliance this tne is said to be with the extreme men of the republican party of the ougnnees- & necepsity which arises trom @ change in the Executive rt the Sfate, The understanding now being, as given out by the parties themselves, that the influence of the Street Department shall be used to prevent a co- alition of the moderate democracy with the Beward republicans in the coming election, the game influence to be extended to the State Central Committee of the party of which Cornell is @ member, in opposition to an alli- ance to support President Jotinson. The bargain re- ported to have been mude ix said to havo bees: negotiat a y Draper, and one of the Tribune philosophers on the part of the radicals, an Supervisor Tweed on the part of the departments. Now, it may be somewhat singular how men of opposite parties, who rail at each other #o bitterly, sit down and deliberately make such barcains as these. But these arrangements are the re- sult of wheels within wheels, and rings within rings, vwulch are scientifically carried out im the city of New ‘ork. There is a bureau in the Street Department for “the col- lection of assessments for city improvements.” This bureau comprises four or five lucrat! ti A esate in the shape of deputies. When Opdyke was Mayor there was a dead logk for some time in referenoe to the appoint- ment of Street Commissioner. Finally the name of Cor- nell was sent in by the Mayor, and was contirmed. One of the conditions of this appointment was the assignment of Thoruas E. Smith, of the Twentieth ward—a eide part- er of Sinclair, of the Lritune—to the position of ool. lector in urea. In pursuance of this ment with Opdyke, Mr. Smith was appointed moon ater ie Cornell assumed the duties of Street Commissioner. The revenues of this bureau ars very larze, and ure derived from two and a half per cent levied on all awards and assessments or other. cosis, for which assessment dongs Qre issued under an old’ statute regulating this matter. Thomas E, Smith ts the radical manager or the agent of the Chase-Draper faction in city affairs, Through him and his superiors the bargain 18 sald to have been ad- justed and all the necessary influences brought to bear. The appointment of Smith was thus brought ubout by an alliance between republican and democratic officials, and is now being used to create additional alli- ances. While Goy. Seymour was in office it was considered necessary that at least one of the deputies should be set apart to Conciliate certain interests in that quarter. Johu - Savage was appointed, as the friend of Major Halpine, to accomplish that specitic result. But, upon Seymour's being defeated for Governor, it was not necessary to con- tinue that alliance, and Mr, Savage was removed and Supervisor Fox appointed in his pl and upon this hangs tale. This is the source from which bas sprong the new coalition, resulting in the general understanding among the parties concerned that Governor Fenton will ‘not remove the officials on account of the bargain patched up between the parties in regard to the defout of the alli- ance between the conservative clement of the two parties on the suffrage question. It is further claimed by the knowing ones that Governor Fenton may, for sake, pretend to investigate charges; but, lik ror Seymour, will go out of office without coming to a deci- sion. Of this fact the public will be able to Judge more correctly in a few days. In view or facts agcertained here, it seems altogethcr improbable that Governor Fen- ton will permit Mr. Sinclair, of the 7rivune; his agent, Mr. Smith, in the Street Department, or Draper, to make any bargain in reference to his action. THE TRIVUNS AND THE STRERT DEPARTMENT. The connection of the Tribune with the Street Depart- ment ie equally indicated in the Pier and Warehouse bill, pasted the last Legislature, in which Sinclair is a cor- porator. The aim and intent of that job is to the ultimate transfer of the piers and wharves of the city to @ grand monopoly corporation. In this scheme the Sireet Department, which has practical control of the wharves, provides an anchor to the windward of the Tribune concern. A periect und feeling existing between the Departme: Sinclair party, it is of great importance to the latter that there shall bo no change in the tof the Street Department until the work under the Wharves bill is consummated, and the prize within their grasp. Here, then, is an additional inducement for a bargain to keep Fc ton quiet on the subject. This bill was the big thing passed by the last Legit although somewhat in some provi by Senator Andrews, it still presents a margiff in its limit of ten mill.ons of Gane ee is years to commence on. Its passage was sacritice of the Health bill aud the defeat of the proposed Bake Ei measures for reforming the government, as by the Citizens’ Association. ins the citizensof New ‘ork will see that there are rings of all dimensions end and wheels within in the manage- character, ment of the local aftairs in the city of New York, + (0 COARGEA a NO CH. ven led foPibe Governor ts investiga, “Phone which were made have been held back for some. unknown res- son. and his associates wh; ae can tell iy POLITICIANS IN A QUANDARY. ’ ‘There are numerous other pena which annoy the Goveraor and his advisers.

Bostos, July 30, 1865. Lieutenant General Grant attended divine service this morning at the Old South church, where a sermon was delivered by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Manning; and at three o’clock this afternoon he dined at the Revere House, in company with Governor Andrew. Late in the afternoon the General and party rode in the suburbs. To-morrow he will visit Harvard College, the Navy Yard and other points of interest, and at twelve o'clock will hold a public reception in Faneuil Hall. Whenever the General has appeared in public he has met with the most heartfelt and unbounded enthusiwsm among all classes. The Late Edwin R. T. Cook. At the Church of St. John the Evangelist, Memorial church of Bishop Wainwright, an address on the death of the late Rev. BE. R. T. Cook, the rector of the church, was delivered yesterday by the Rev, WiliiamC. Winslow, @ young clergyman who recently bas been ordained, ‘and at present is temporarily acting as the pastor of the Memortal church. The sanctuary and chancel were draped in mourning, and a full congregation was present to hear the discourse in honor of the departed pastor delivered, The preacher took his text from the twenty- first chapter of the Book of Revelation, as the most fitting in the illustration of the resurrection, where the sacred pen portrays the happy state hereafter.

Oh, death, where is thy victory? Tho speaker alluded to the personnal qualities of the deceased ‘or, He was an untiring servant of the church.

Now that his spirit is raised to higher ac. tivities, we should see what the departed pastor had accomplished. He had blessed his people, and his good work will go on with equal success, for the Saviour will never leave the church.

CONDITION OF THE COUNTRY GENERALLY, &e., &e., &e. Our Toronto (C. W.) Correspondence. Tonowro, ©. W., July 24, 1865. ETAGNATION THROUGHOUT WESTERN CANADA. Tho contrast betweon the States and Canada was never more striking than at the present time. In New York, in Albany, in Buffalo, in Detroit, we complain of tho dulness of trade, with our hotels full, our streets crowded, ani our retail stores driving @ lively busine. In the cities on this side of the line I have not yet econ over a dozen guests sit down to a dinner table in tio largest hotels, the streets bear a 3unday appearance tho week round, and there is not a retail trader who will not tell you that he should make money by closing his store, and thus saving the necessary expense of keeping his business running. There is an ‘entire prostration of trade and commerce throughout the upper province, and it is precisely this that is leading men to think and to talk of any change by which they may hope to save themselves from absolute ruin. THE ANNEXATION REMEDY. Naturally enough, the Canadian mind Was been directed first to their neighbors across the invisible li: that divides the province from the States, “why is it,” they ask, “that the Americans, with all their war and ite burdens, should increase and prosper, and that we Canadians, blest with peace and boasting of the excellence of our government, should retrograde and languish and perish ?”’ ‘They are willing enough—the great bulk of them—to remain loyal to the British crown, provided they can be Joyal and earn a living at the same time; but they are be- gintfing to find out that a sentiment, however seductive, will not fill an empty stomach or clothe a ragged family ; and with the discovery comes the conviction that nature designed this continent to bear one people, united unde common government, progressing hand in hand and step with step. However much the press may rant about loyaky and rail at annexation, it is very certain that when a question of such great moment begins to be openly and calmly discussed by a people, finding advo- cates, however few, with boldness enough to uphold it the seed is already sown, and the harvest must come in good season. THR POTTER AND WOOD ESCAPADE. It ts true that the blundering of Mr. Potter in the com- ‘mercial convention at Detroit has taken the annexation- iste all aback, and that many of the weak-kneed advo- cates of a political union with the States bave been in- duced to turn right-about-face, and to assume for the time an excess of loud-mouthed loyalty. Mr. Wood, the: manager of the telegraph lines, who was so cruelly trap- ped by Potter, hasresigned his position, and the Gite and other papers which were dispMecd to treat the ques- tion of annexation with a very gentle hand are now ab- solutely foaming at the mouth with their veneration for the rule of Great Britain. It must be remembered, however, that the resignation of Mr. Wood has not yet been accepted, and that the position of Mr. Brown in the coalition ministry compels the Globe just now. to an extra exhibition of loyalty. ‘THE THUNDER IN THE ATR. But, annexation or no annexation, the clouda are gath- ering and the wind is rising; aud unless Parliament, which meets on the 6th of August, docs something to make, or at least to promise, ange in the existing condition of affairs, the storm wil... \uredly break over the provinces, Tho scheme of con. jeration is daily losing ground among the people, bi of Upper and Lower Canada. It is now seen and und: «00d that the ‘present Parliament favors eoufedera’... for persoual considerauons. In the western provinee it was once popular, because there was a belief, first, that it would re- vive trade by securing the improvements of the channels of commerce, and, secondly, that it would dostroy the pre- gent preponderance of the Lower Canadian elemont in the provincial government. Now the western masses see that the confederation is only urged by the home government for the purposs of building up forts along the frontior and increasing the mili tary capacity of the colonies; and they find that it will entail upon them and their successors a heavy debt for defences that will be valucless and for a kine of railroad that will perpetually drain the resources of the country to keep it in operation. In lower Canada, on the other hand, the Roman Catholic in- fluence is oppoeed to the scheie, and priests and press denounce the upholéers of confederation in the govera- ment as false to the vstituents, The general impres. sion is that nothing de.iuite will be accomplished at the coming session; but, as I have said, unless something is donc that will at least hold out the promise of a change in the extsting state of affairs, then, as the almanac pro- phets tell us, “prepare for stormy weather.” CONDITION OF THE COUNTRY. ‘The Sarnia branch of the Great Western Railway, to London, runs through a fine country, but so neglected that it looks like the far distant and sparsely settled ‘West.
