The rumor says 0 hase has been aos. 4 by acclamation; if so, he doubtless wil} find those rioters and rebels his friends.

We do not wish to perpetuate e scandalous conduct of the last two years, Pro- tion shall be extended to all naturalized and pative born citizens. The present incumbent of the ‘White House has endeavored to make treason fash- nable instead of odious. Nations cannot afford to dishonest. The national faith and the national credit must be kept inviolate. They who would break ‘the nation’s faith would be turning their backs on those who saved the nation’s life and died in her cause.

NOTES ABOUT TOWN. An hour’s conversation with the clerk of the weather has satisfled us that he isan abused indi- vidual, and, further, the inane squibs that have from time totime been fired at him by heavy editors are unworthy the profeasion. The clerk avers that it 1s wholly impossible to satisfy the multitude of his constituents. If he opens the clear weather valve and the dust rises, people denounce him roundly and demand copious rains; and if he listens to petitions on @ sultry day for cold weather, thin blooded wretches cry lustily for “some’at ’ot,” and #0 con- versely. Henceforth we shall speak pleasantly whenever we have occasion to allude to him of the ancient oficeholder. The fashionable churches are beginning ‘‘to shut shop’ for the season. Their pious congregations, every individual of them ‘‘contrite of heart,” may be found at Saratoga, Newport and other penitential resorts, attired in sackcloth and ashes, while their spiritual “pastors and masters” are abroad spending their princely salaries on widows and orphans, “comforting them in their aMiction.” The gentle public servant who has charge, at three dollars per diem, of Union square, 18 either an ex- ceedingly eccentric or decidedly disobliging person- age, who, being dressed in a little brief authority, is desirous of playing fantastic tricks before the peo- ple. On the Fourth, as we have already declared, he closed the gates to his little oasis in the desert of cobble stonés and red brick houses, refusing admis- sion to juveniles panting for fresh air; and yesterday, for @ reason as yet unkuown to nursery maids and their charges, he tabooed the whole concern. Won- derful are the ways of oMceholders. . A practical joke is that of hanging the showbills of an itmerant humorist on the dead wall of Grace church. The genius evidently desires * to take heart of grace.” Among the innovations proposed by Susan D. An- thony, Cady Stanton, and their coadjutors in “ ele- vating women,” is that of dressing little girls in ter- rifically bright red clothes and sending them to the highway to vend their hebdomadal. We object for potent reasons to this arrangement, thereby showing More deference to the angelic sex than do ite seif- constituted leaders—first: it is indecorous to piace girls on the streets as dealers in newspapers; and, second, it enrages old bulls to have red fMaunted be- fore their eyes. Just pause for an instant, dear Su- san, in your mad career, and consider what a terribie thing it would be to have one of your litle gire gored by an infuriated bull! Sinee the opening of the Democratic Convention the bogus jewelry shops have multiplied exceed- ingly in Cortlandt street and Broadway. How is this, Captain Steers? Are you desirous of giving, dur- ing the presence of the delegations and their escorts in this city, the largest fleld for the elephant to ope- rateiny We are of the opinion that since the ad- vent of the President nominacors the animal has been seen \n more ways than one, particularly as we area hospitable people and greatiy desire to take in and do for the strangers that are within our gates. We greditly desire to know when the Loyal Leaguers intend to erect tat statue to the lamented and the martyred in Union square. Where are the “shoddyites ! There are ten drinking fountains aceessible to the people in this city; aud it would seem from the operations of Captam Garland that there are at least nine too many. Captain, will you inform an anxious public how it ts that in your preeinet you are so ex- cessively particular about the concert saloons, and yet let gambling dens flourish and grow like grass tn the spring time, and that, tuo, without any prospect of its being cat down? We can hardly blame boys and young men, in the absence of public batus, from avating themselves of the privileges of the river; but we do decidediy ob- ject to their presenting thetr persons to the public gaze near the derries. There are ordinances which positively prowibit this bathing in public, but those whose sworn and well paid duty tt t#to stop it heed the laws about as much 4s Chose who opealy violate them. If the police will not stop they at least can regulate this bathing in public, Here is @ aioe fat job for some “ring’’ to take hokl of—the building of stone wharves on the outer lines of the North and East river shores, There are mii- Hons in it, We are surprised that it has not beea undertaken before this, |! certainly is worth all the street paving contracts ever concocted evem by the Common Councii. We have not heard anything of late about the Bast river bridge, which was to connect New York and Brookiyn. Has it been squeiched’ And those $3,000,000 voted towgrd onstraction by the Brooklyn Common CSuaei: what have become of them ? Now that the National Democratic Convention has succeeded in gominating a President and Vice Prest- deat, we suppose (he City Moll will be immediately denuded of tt4 fags, which, since the morning of the Fourth of Juty, have been “fung to the breege.”” The decist those candidates electetto take seats in the Coune:! mantic chamber in Janoary as constitationaliy return: ed, has badly hurt a number of patriove legislators who were about feathering their nests by certain street “extensions” and “improvements,” Weil, “the schemes o’ uiice aod men gang aft agley.” If any one i particuiuriy desirogs of perfecting himself in the art of bard «wearing “for missloaary purposes" we invite lim to stead for an hour om any forenoon where they are repaving Broadway, par- ticularly where drivers of omaiduses, carriages aad carts are necessitated to turn of that thoroughfare and drive around the block.

Spirited Yacht Race at Stonington, Conu.— Thirteen Entries—The Rosina and Avenger the Victors. Stonington, Conn., is located upon a broad, pic- turesgue sheet of water that has always enticed the yachtmen living upon its borders to speed their toy- ish boats. From the nucleus of an aquatic organiza- tion there has sprung up a club of model boats that Would fill with delight the heart of the true sailor, their owners being to the greatest degree thoronghly enthusiastic in the noble sport of yachting. On every available occasion they in- augurate races that tend to the full development of the speed which these boats possess, thrilling with admiration all who witness the contests. ‘The latest of these trials occurred on the Fourth of July, and to add greater interest and zest to the trial of skill invitations were extended and accepted by boats of stmilar construction in New Haven and Mystic. These were divided into first and second classes, the former embracing those over twenty feet, the Jatter those under that length. The names, Places from which they hall, with thelr Jengths and owners, are given in the following tablgt-— FIRST CLASS. Stonington... 28.0 Te topes, ar ‘Annie......-.. *.. 92.0.. H. Palmer.

At the start, which was effected amid que plea- sant applause from many spectators, there was romise of an excellent breeze, but’ with that ill uck which the majority of se0kt races has been attended di this season, the wind was light and baffling yout the day. Yet this only caused the crews to renew their exer- tions, and Tivalry was evinced by tl rather anfoftanste circumstance.

TROTTING AT THE UNION COURSE. that noiay demonstration which Great Trot Betwe on y Thorn, the Qre nu of the Turf, and Mountain Boy—the Queen the Winner. ‘The princtpal topic of conversation among sport- ing men for some time back has been the experted trot between Lady Thorn and Mountain Boy, which was to take place yesterday afternoon on the Union Course. It eame of as announced and re. sulted in the defeat of Mountain Boy after five heats, Three of them were trotted in remarkably quick time considering the heavy condition of the track from the rain of the early morning. On the surface the track looked dry enough, suMiciently #0 to deceive the inexperienced ; but complaint was made by the drivers of the horses that it was anything but in good condition for fast ume. But fast time was made on it nevertheless, the second heat being trotted in 2:21}¢ and the thisd in 2:21. The race was for the very liberal purse of $2,000; offered by the proprietor of the track, mile heats, beat three tn five, in harness, This purse was given in order to bring Lady Thorn and Mountain Boy together in this vicinity with a view of testing their relative merits, and putting am end to ail further controverdy on @ subject that for several months has engrossed the attentton of sporting men. The result of the race was decisive as to the merits of these horses, and will doubtiess put an end to all further cavilling on the subject. Mountain Boy having shown himself to be a horsevof excessive apeed, but deficient in endurance while Lady Bhora proved herself to be possessed of every req! that could entitle her to the appellation of Queen of the trot- ting turf, and that on ber shoulders the mantie of Flora Tempie had at length founda resting place. This is the fifth race between these horses, and four times has Lady Thorn been victorious. They trotted twice in this vicinity last summer, each wiu- ning @ race. More recently they met again at the Narragansett Park at Providence aud at the Mystic Course at Boston, at both of whieh places } Mountain Boy suffered defeat, Notwithstanding these successive defeats his backers, deluded by his exhi- bitions of fast time to the quarter and halt mile poles, cling to him with wonderful pertinacity, and before the race yesterday he had the call im the betting, 'n- duced, no doubt,,by the many exaggerated reports of his speed that had been industrioualy circulated by persons whom it was “hought had every opportunity of forming a right opinion on the sutiject. We do not exclude his trainer, whode constant boast: of the performance of Mountain Boy in private trials induced the credulous t ven- ture large sums on the horse, Stories of 2:16 to the mile were current and repeated so frequently that the public at length were induced w believe there was some solid foundation for them, and that they were not the baseless fabric of a vision. Their reality. was tested yesterday, and those who were barned must ‘put up with the blister, At all events an end ts pnt to presumptious vaporing hereafier, and Mountain Boy will take 4 such @ rank as his public performances entittie him to in the estimation of the large number of persons who have witnessed his several races. There were three thousand spectators on the ground including many of the most wealthy gent and experienced horsemen of this city and eisew * THE HORSES. Lady Thorn, the winner of the race, was sired by Mambrino Chief, by Mambrino Paymaster, son of Mambrino, who was got by imported Messenger. She is a granddaughter of Gano, son of American Eclipse and Betsey Kichards, a daughter of Sir Archy and granddaughter of imported Diomed, the first winner of the English Derby, and from whose loins have descended some of the most renowned horses of this country. The history of this mare, as well as that of some others, proves what we have often asserted in thia journal—that a first class trotting horse, the horse of p) and endurance, should be deeply imbued with the highest blood. Lady Thorn isa bay mare, with black points aud ia upwards of teen hands i and her general Boyt blood Ite. Her ton is vigorous and stride low, long, reachy end pereistent.
