8 POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE CITY POLITICS, An Active Campaign—The Republican Organt- zations—rae German Element—Great Pree parations Among the Teutons—The Irish Democracy—The Position of the Leaders— | at The Ofices—Corporstion Counsel, ‘There has been considerable impetus felt at all the Political headquarters throughont the city within ‘the past week. The time for positive action is fast @pproaching and the different parties are marshal- Bing their forces for the contest, intent to contest every office in the city that has Wo be filled in December next. On the Presidential question the republicans seem to be positive of suc- ess, and with this incentive they have thrown them- elves heart and sou! into the gubernatortal struzgle. ‘Their chief efforts in this direction will be persistent- Jy devoted to the canvass in this city. There is now @ fair prospect of harmonizing the hitherto discord- ant elements of the party, and should this be effect- ed, as expected within a few days, the city will be treated toa torchlight procession of the Tanners and the Roys in Bine that will throw into the shade ‘the monster processions of tae Wide Awakes during the campaigns of 1560 and 1564. On the other hand the democrats are not idle, nor are they unimpressed to the fullest extent with the tmportance to the party of the success of their @fforts to insure a double victory in November next ‘©n both the national and State tickets, The result of the preliminary skirmish 1n Vermont, and the dis- couraging news from Maine with Sunset Cox's Geclaration that it was useless to continne the con- test in that State, has had no other effect than to stir ‘hem up to more united action, ‘THE GERMANS. ‘The feeling is particularly noticeabie among the German voters of the city, The greatest activity Prevails throughout all their organizations, For wome time after the Fourth of July Convention had made its nominations somewhat of an apathetic feeling existed, but since the State Convention the Germans have been ali agog and alive to the issues atstake, The immense majority the democrats ob- Yained in this city and Brooklyn last fall gave them the State by fifty thousand majority. This avernow- ering vote was the consequence of the alinost com- plete extinction of the German republicans on the excise question and their uniting with the democrats ‘on that issue, True, there was even last year a gmail coterie of German politicians of the radical creed, who, in order to maintain their personal party affiliation and standing, kept up a show of an organization, but they could be count- ed on the fingers of both hands without counting any one finger twice, Thero were some dozen of ‘would-be leaders, bnt they had no efficient force ne- hind them. They tried their best to convince the mass of the Germans, that a substantial modifica- tion of the Excise law was only to be obtained through a victory of the republican party. But they found no listeners, and their preaching was as to the idle winds. If any German attempted to advocate he prinelpies ‘of the republican party a blunt reference “Acton, Kennedy & Co,’ and to the Excise nw drove him at once and’ completely from his Position. Hence, outside of the small clive of an radical party hacks, the ‘Fepublicans received hardly a Geran vote in the city, and thus the tremendous democratic majority was obtained. The political aspect of affuirs is some- what difierent this year. With Inst year’s lesson be- Yore them the radicais are straining every nerve and using every means to regain their lost hols Deast a respectable minori! majority of them are so ind \ swedded to the democratic party that the republic: Rave no earthly hope of any Considerable incre €o their strength in that quarter. The State Central Commitice have propriated large sums ‘of money for carrying on tnis campaign among the Germs of this city, Two. cen- ral campaign organi resided over by Dr. tions have been formed, one acobi, the other by Dr, | ur, and they are rapidly organizing their forces | throughout the city. Attempts have heen made to unite the two organizations and merge them into one central body directing the German republican column; but these attempts liave all failed on points of etiquette, for doctors, political as well as medi- cal, are apt to stand on dignity and etiquette, and ‘the instances have not been few where doctors have been known to disagree. However this may be the work of organization progresses, Very shrewdly they have managed it so far, in that they have abstained to form ward organizations, but confine themselves to organize by Assembly Gistricts, being thus able to show greater strengt nd to hide their actual weakness m most of the lo- Calities in the city, Another way to aj ir really stronger than they really are haa been adopted by them, and that is, to have a squad of men always ready to go into the different parts of the city tu order to make pp @ meeting of twenty-five or fifty, when their local strength would not give them a dozen. General Krzyzanowsky has organized a German veteran corps, composed of about a hundred Men, some of whom have hever fired a musket or heard a bullet whistle, but with their light biue capes: and cape of oflcloth they serve very well for ernamenting and embellishing ® meeting. The German radicals also receive reat aid from the police, whether by authority of the Commissioners or of Superintendent Kennedy is not Known. But the fact ts that the former rigor in the execution of the Excise law has been relaxed for the resent, and neither the twelve o'clock rule nor the unday prohibition is now so rigidly enforced as it ‘was heretofore, This, it is expected, will make the Germans partially forget that there ts such a law of ition placed on the statute book by the repubit- and induce them to feel more friendly the party. What they have so far achieved = was manifest by their mass meeting last week at the Cooper Institute. Every seat in the hall was occupied, which would ve about 2,600 persons, with about a hundred on ¢ platform and another hundred occupying stand- ing room along the walls, They used every means to get each single German ae to the meet- fing in the upper part of the city, as in the Twelfch, Nineteenth and Twenty-second wards, extra cars having been provided for them at the expense of the Eatim: that about from three to Sve hundred democrat ttended out of curiosity to hear General Schurz, this meeting would show the rman republican vote in this city to be from enty-two to twenty-four hundred. This esti- te is believed to a8 near correct aa any hat can be made. But this is only on the Presiden- tial ticket, on which, it may be, this vote can be in- creased to from four to five thousand by election day. On the State and legislative tickets the German re- ablican vote will in dwindle into insignificance. a it is again the Excise law which works so steadi- Jy upon the German mind in favor of the democrats. Having carried the Assembly last year, they hope to @o the same again. Should a democratic Governor and Lieutenant Governor be elected, even without ‘ny material political change in th mate, they feel arsured not only that the Excise law wiil be so changed a8 to be acceptable, but also that John A. Kennedy will cease to rule it over ‘New York. The most enthusiastic admirers of Grant and Colfax are exceedingly energetic in their denun- lations of the republican State policy, and nearly eight-tenths of the German republican vote will, as Mf was inst fall, be thrown for the democratic State and legislative tickets. The Germans, since Hott man’s nomination, whom they have urged with all their infuen seem to feel that they are in honor bound to do their best to elect him, and exerting their utmost fo effect that Tesult. They are well organized in every ward, and in the central and northern part of the city they have several clubs in the «ame ward: fm some, like the Seventeenth, for instance, they have formed nearly a dozen, Their meetings are nerally well attended, and the rank and fie seem be satisfied with the nominations so far made. immense wirepulling, however, Is golng on among em, particularly in those wards where the German wote is either in a majority or holds the nce of Zoe There are many aspirants for legisiative jonors, and also for the of the county offices to be filled, and they ai! hanker after the support of the Germans, whose success with Hoffman has developed their increasing Strength. And the German democrats themseives are beginning to be somewhat restive under the ehare made with some force by the radical party stumpers, that the democratic party of the city is an Irish party, and that Germans are merely used as voting machines to carry Irishmen into office and wealth. This may and probably will lead to some pits in several jocalities on local ticketa, but it can on'y rewult in bringing out a larger vote and increase their strength on national and State can- didates. Like the German republicans the German 4 mocrats have also two central organizations, and efforts at a union Of the two have been as yet futile, he Central Campaign Association” draws to itself onflicting elements of the two wings of Ger- mai nocracy. This body is now making prepara- tions for @ grand torchlight procession on the Sth proximo, and in the course of the campaign will @iso have @ mass meeting at the Cooper Institute. They have meetings nightly in diferent parts of the city, and all appear confident of success, Time ‘will suow whether they are not egregiously wrong. THE IRISH DEMOCRATIC ELEMENT fe swayed entirely by the leaders appointed by Tam- many to keep them in line and with promises of ‘awple booty to bring them to the polis on efection day.

Even John McKeon, of the McKeon-McSpeddon democracy, succumbed to Tammany infuences long ago, although the present time John feels sore at the prospect of being overlooked for the vacancy of Cor oration Counsel, But ‘4t were loug = to tell and sad to trace” the series of jobs and bargain- ings between Tammany and the fry of small would- be leaders that from time to timo gathered to their standard earnest and true men who were disgusted at the municipal corruption that existed and festered on every department of the city government, and, having formed a party, made show of resistance and then accepted whatever bribe the ring thought enough to tempt them with, Although there 1s extensive discontent, therefore, among the democratic office seekers, there is no entrenched position to fall back upon, and they must be content with rubbing their sore heads and inveighing against the ring till elec- tion day, when they will give a proof of their loyalty by voting early and voting often, Tammany controls the Irish democratic vote through the heads of the various city departments, and, therefore, whatever d.scantent may be felt by disappointed office seekers, the result at the polls is all the same. ‘TRE CITY OFF! There is no change to note on the slate of nominees for the vaoant offices since the previous articie on this item of city politics.

No positive action has as yet been taken by either party to put forward the men that are to contest for the vacancies, In the Ninth—Mr. Fernando Wood's district—should the present incumbent positively de- cline a nomination—Mr. Joseph Porter, @ young and rising lawyer, will be a candidate.

Here is a peck of trouble for the ring; bat the odds are that Dick O’Gorman will tip them the blarney in a style to overcome all their objections to his sweet self, and that he will continue to help the ring to perpetuate their control over the city treasury, and to go on Increasing the rate of city taxation he deciares against the extravagance of the government. TOE CAMPAIGN IN MAINE. of Public Sentimem—A Mujerity Almost Certain. PORTLAND, Sept. 10, 1868. For several days 1 have watched the drift of punlic affairs with more than usual interest, and while, as alread) | there had been a healthy reaction on the minds of | the laboring classes, against the Congressional | party and their bond-holding neighbors who sup- ported them, I was fearful that the semi-rebel complexion that to some extent was given to the democratic canvass would undo all that had been accomplished by the Maine democracy, in educating | the poor man to the heltef that a change of govern- ment would lighten his burdens and re-establish the old harmony aud prosperity in the country, Or, in other words, that those who clamor for a change of government as beneficial to them and the country, would hesitate before voting for a party who are not above the charge of having In their ranks men who at some period of the war were copperheads and quasi-traitors, My fears on this point have heen expelled by in- formation just received from both parties to this battle at the ballot box, and I am now conviaced that Maine on next Monday, by her vote, will give the republican party no cause to rejoice or claun @ viovory. Ihave been confidentially placed in possession of the oMcia! count of the republicans of the State, just completed, and several counties’ canvass of the democrats, not yet completed, and I am violating no contidence in asserting that everything points to a small victory for the conservatives, With my present knowledge of the canvass of both parties, I estimate the republican majority, on a tull vote of oue hun- dred and twenty to one hundred and twenty-eight thousand, at from fifteen to twenty thousand, ‘Tie Reduced Radical canvass of both parties, which does not materiaily ditfer, justifies this prophecy, ‘Ths republican majority has been, in local and national contests since 1856, as follows:— Presidential majority. 1860.. Presidential majorit; 864. . Presidential majorit 1866. .Congressional majorit; 867... Local (liquor question) le 842 Here we see that in all elections wh ional questions entered into the contest the lowest ma- jority for the radicals was 21,122, Last year the democrats gamed nearly 11,000 over the pre- vious year on account of the local questions, liquor law, &c., entering into the canvass. is 19 the omly election in which the radical majority hi been below 21,000. In drawing a@ are then, between next Monday's majority and that o! last year, the vote of 1867 must pot be taken, as all local questions are now ignored in the contest. The fair test will be between the vote of 1860 and 1864 on the Presidential question, or the vote of 1866 for rep- resentatives in and the support of the re- publican reconstruction policy of that time. Giving the republicans the advan of the lowest figures, we find that to ve @ Victory they must roll up a vote of over 21, Here you have an analytical ex amination of past votes nan! for both parties, With my present information I can promise the democracy of the country that Maine will not follow in the footatepa of Vermont, and if the vote of 1864 is @ fair criterion from which to draw con- clusions, the democracy may safely prepare their artillery for a salute on Tuesday next in honor of the old “Pine Tree State.” In a previous letter I spoke of the anti-war record of Pillsbury, candidate for Governor. I formed my conelusions from editorials written during the wat, and published in a paper in which he was jomt pro- prictor. I am credibly informed that Governor Pillsbury was not the controlling mind of that jour- nal, and if so, cannot be held accountable for all that appeared in its columns. It ts said that he labored i efatigably to Hil the Maine regiments destined for x10, THE POLITICAL SITUATION IV GEORGIA. The Dewocrats in Fall Possession of the State—No Chance for Radical Legislation The Carpet-Baggers and Scalnwngs to Ape peal to CongressThe Electoral Vote of Georgia Certain for the Democracy, AVOUBTA, Sept. 5, 1898, In the Legislature of this State are a number of representatives from the *mountain counties who were elected a# “reconstructionists” in opposition to democrats. As many white men in that part of the State voted for Bullock and the constitution, all these embers were set down as republicans, but recent events have proved that they are nothing of the kind, The telegraph has already informed you ‘that all the negro legislators have been declared in- eligivie. They numbered twenty-seven, of which fourteen can neither read nor write, and yet these men Were elected by negro constituents to make laws for the people of Georgla, But however shameful it ts that ignorant men should be elevated to the high position of lawmakers, {t is never- theless certain that the right of the ne- groes to hold omfce under the reconstruc. tion constitution is as good and valid as that of the whites. In delaring them ineligible the democrats acted @ consistent part, but the same cannot be said of the twenty-five or thirty repubil- cans who voted with them, These latter acted in @ most treacherous manner towards the people who had voted them into office, and nothing more strik- ingty fllustrates the utter unfitness of the negroes to | Possess the elective franchise than their betrayal by men who swore by all that was holy that they were | their best friends, The first and greatest result of | this ejection of negroes ts to place the lower house | of the Legislature into the hands of the democrats, | who now have an overwhelming majority. In the 5 sate radical after radical has gone over to the | der veracy, until that bo iso is no longer in union | with the “party of progress” and niggerism. Gov- ernor Bullock finds himself bereft of support, and Will have to play his cards carefully, a8 in these | daye of inpeactments his omeial head rests upon | very rickeity shoulders. Even the raiiroad belo! ing r State, with if immense patronage, Wi oon be taken away from the radicals, @ bil havitig | been prepared giving the 1 ture power to ap pouit commissioners, whoge duty it will be to elect oseers for the road ‘Vhe DIL Will become & law Wheiner veived by the Goveruor or bot, and ae t asa reward | Cheering News for the Democracy—The Drift | ¢, recorded in previous letters, I found that | commissioners to be appointea will not bo very friead'y to (ho radicals, Bullock, Brown and Hurl- bert will lose a nice pium, For all practical the democrats now have I} possession or tl and that tiey intend to keep what they have is quite apparent. The carpet- daggers and scala) owever, are not disposed to quietly accept the situation, When Congress next meets there will be a formidable petition presented to the House setting forth the grievances of these “loyal” creatures and appealing for help. It 1s hard to concelve how Congress can help them. Georgia 13 represented now; she is in the Union and has Sust a3 much right to say Who shall hold o:fice aud who shall not as any other State. Altogether it is not likely that the white radicals will obtain much by petitions. There is a much greater Fephavillr that the negroes will make political capital for the democrats by deeds of violence arising prineipaily from the colored delegates being deciared not entitled to hold mice. ‘The violent harangues of @ few white and colored incend aries are inciting the radical negroes to the highest poe of lawlessness. That this helps the democ: is evident, for it drives over to the whites hundreds of biacks who are republican by inclina- tion, but who have intelligence enongh to perceive that a war of races will result in their people getting ly thrashed, and who desire to keep upon the that can afford them most protection. Still a majority of the ne not being restrained by such considerations, and being persuaded by their leaders that they will “receive heip from the Grand Army of the Repubile” at the North, are organizing themselves into military companies, driling and otherwise preparing for war with as much earnestness as if an of foreign enemies was marching into the State. The whites have one consolation, and it is that the more violent the e become the more certain becoies their politica: succeas. In Geor to-day probably not eas than thirty thousand black democrats confront sixty-five thousand black radicals, The lime drawn between these two negro elements ts wide, distinct, positive. The former are backed up by the entire strength of ninety thousand whites, while the latter are supported by the radical Congress ani at the outside not more than fifteen thousand whites in the State, This, then, is the real political condition of the State, Radical negro threats and vivlen negro army organizing and drilling and radical i) cendiarism are seen and heard only in those coun- ties which have immense negro majorities. There a, conflict of races is imminent, for there the | incendiaries have! all the fuel with which to kindie a blaze that will only be extin- guished by streams of blood. If the Presidential election passes of without bl riots in South- western and portions of Central Georgia the peop'¢ | of the entire country will have cause for heartielt gratitude. The principal meentive to acts of vio- | lence by radical negroes 1s the tact that a consider- able minority of their race intend voting the demo- cratic ticket. The whites have pledged the con- servative darkies protection, and if any attempt is made to injure them for voting against Grant and Colfax they will be defended to the bitterest ox- tremity. It isto be regretted that this isthe true condition of affairs: but as you desire the truo situation in the South, it is given fairly and impar- tlally. ‘The very great majority of the negroes are not displaying Jawiessness of thelr own volition. Left alone they would peaceably subuit to the re- sult of the election and do nothing to prevent men of thelr own race from voting with the democracy. But they are harangued at midnight by the most miserable creatures—both black and white—in ex- istence, who excite their’ prejudices, raise thelr worst passions and prepare their minds for the commission of the most violent deeds that can he imagined, | When the negroes return to their cabins at two or three o’clock in the morning, they do so ready to imbue their hands in the biood of the white proprietor of the plantation and his family, although | they may never have received other than the kindest | treatment at their hands. There is nothing imagin- ary in this report of the situation; all that has been stated contains the truth, The opinion expressed four weeks ago that the democrats will carry Georgia by a large majority is here again repeated. This Congressional district has | a majority of fifteen thousand negro voters regis- tered, but the chances are that the democrats Will it by two or three thousand majority. from the number of negro democrats I have seen in this (Richmond), Burke, Columbia, and two or three adjacent counties, I have no doubt that there will be a close struggle between the two parties. Georgia will give at least thirty thousand majority for Seymour and Blafr, and if she gives fifty thou- I'shall not be surprised. That the State will be arried by the democrats is conceded y ail hands. The only question is as to how large the majority will be. e me A Speech from Hon, Join A. Griswold. At the Vermont State Fair In Burlington, on the 10th inst., Hon. John A, Griswold, the republican | candidate for Governor of this State, was calied upon, and responded:— He was surprised to find his friend, Mr. Edmunds, when he rose to speak, assuming a new phase of character. He had inet him as the esteemed private cltizen, a8 an able lawyer and as a wise and pa- triotic legislator. But he had sever seen him in any situation like the present. He had seen in the Sen- ator’s remarks the outcropping of a disposition bor- dering upon the malicious. The gentleman (Mr. Ed- munds) seemed to feel that he was called upon to verify the ancient maxim that misery loves company. ‘The gentleman, after stating the object of the assembly, had turned to him (Mr, Griswold) ag a ‘ntleman who might be the next Governor of the Empire State. When he (Mr. 4). returned he would not telf the people of the State of New York about any catraneous objects which he saw here, but he would say to them that he saw in the intelligence, the sobriety, tlie true pride of the men and women of Vermont, an explanation of the opinion which was recently given through the ballot box in this city. Mr. Griswold was heartily applanded at the end of his witty and appropriate little speech.

THE FASHIONS. Fall aud Winter Dress Goods—Rich and Varied Material—What Our Darlings Are to Wear. The close propinquity of the ‘fall opening” warrants us in laying before our fair readers this morning some few facts which may, perhaps, prove interesting concerning the various styles, materials and colors which Fashion decrees shall be worn dur- ing tie fall and winter. At present white and gray dresses are the most fashionable, but ag the weather grows cooler these must give place to something of a heavier and warmer nature, and therefore & few words pertaining to the latter may not Just now be deemed inopportune or’ out of place. For full dress and evening wear silks and velvets will predominate. Changeable silks, it is thought, will be exceedingly fashionable for fall wear, and the darker shades for winter. Silks and sating- em- broidered in silver and gold, and silver and other colors, as also gold and other colors, promise to be the rage for evening toilets among the ladies of our beau monde. Astrakhan cloths for cloaks will be as much in vogue as during last winter. Plushes of various colors, in imitation of the skins of animals, are the latest novelty in the way of cloaking, and will doubt- less be much worn. Poplins of every description continue to please the fancy, and are as fashionable now as ten years ago. That our readers may the moré readily understand the tendency towards which fashion is inclined, we give below, so far as onr space will permit, a description of the latest novel- ties In dress goods now to be seen at some of the leading dry goods establishments in this city. AT A. T. STRWART AND CO, we saw @ large aesortment of novelties in satins, plain and fancy striped, for underskirts, over which chameleons of colors'to suit are to be worn, Of these new styles there are some exceedingly original and attractive shades—in blue and black, orange and black, green, blue and black, blue and black, green, orange an’ black, and in very many other combina- tions, ‘There were 2130 exhibited platm chameleon, in cord- ed silks, which included all the main varieties, and besides several new, in tints, running through bine, green, purple, black, bronze, &c. In this style of ds the colors for evening or fall dress are particu- arly rich, and include the tea-rose, marigold, but- ter and other tints. In full dress toilets chameleon opals, sunset, sunrise and noon-on-the-lake are favor- ites, These silks are su ingly beautiful, and are already largely sought after by ladies, and for short or wa'king dresses, stripes, a@ la chameléon, are to be the fashion. These will make up splendidiy, and besides are considered cheap and durabie. At this store are also exhibited some novelties for full toilet dresses. On the grounds of these, black, blue, &c., are flowers or sprays in solid, embrol- dered colors, These range in price from $100 to $300, ‘The are also corneclian moire antiques, in. all the accepted shades; also rich grounds of French gray, with delicate tinges of sky-blue, shot with white; also pea-greens, shot with white, and other colors, all equally attractive, Brocade silks, yet worn in ball and fall dress, richly embroidered In gold and sliver, and also gold and silver embroidered satins, are in very large variety, and range from $200 to $500 eacn. We also saw some black silks with colored brocades of different shades in the flower pieces that were at- tractive for dinner costumes, These, as well as the ze de chambery. will be in demand this autumn, ‘ne latter will be much worn by young women as full dress goods. White satins, corded silks and uncut velvety are the leading material for bridal toilets, All the varieties of poplins, woollen serges, light in color and warm in style, will also be much the tastes of those who are destined to wear them, e of lace goods at this house is unusuaily large, variéd and costly, Among the richest triftes were coifeurs, with tabs, in pointe gaze, in fower and @ la Grecque, These and many other articles in this line were original in desiga aud absolute in finish, We saw also rich appliques and black Chan- tllies, ranging from $12to almost any price beyond. In the lace department we also inspected some rich trousseane that were marked at such figures as to startle any but an exceedingly rich customer. It is not possible to describe all that in the way of novelty in adress and fancy goods that are to be seen in thelr richness County Jail, under the | Tect their exi.by cutting | and variety at this store. We can only hint at them; to describe them faliy would at this time take up too much space, We can only add that the g ove de- partment is fulland complete. In it are many novel- ties which ladies should examh J. AND O, SOHNSON open this year with a large and exceedingly hand- sought, and the novelties in these are as varied as *| 868.-TRIPLE SHEET. ous shades and combinations, striped poplins, win- cey poping for skirts, narrow for over and wide for for un’ pate in chend. &c., nearly all of them originals im design and combinations of shade and silks at this honse are varied and contain Many novelties, which can best be understood by personal examination. What particularly struck us as worthy of attention at this house, independent of varieties in other fab- ries, were the rich designs in many of the satins, We can particularize but few. A brocade im gold and silver, another in gold and velvet and a garnet ground with silver and en flowers, unusually rich, and which, when made up in full dress, will look magnificent beyond conception. We also saw & large variety of silks, with satin stripes, and many other manufactures that in richness and flnish are really worthy of art. ‘The lace goods of this firm will vie with those at other places. Several novelties in this line were shown us, among them a shawl in round point, valued at $1,000, and @ flounce to correspoud at MOURNING GOODS—JACKSON & CO. Last winter black, for a while, was the fashion- able color, both in this city and Paris, and there are again indications that that color will enter into the make up of fashionable toilets. As yet, there @ dearth of novelties m this line: bht something new and unique 1g expected in a few weeks from Europe. The “Tamise cloth,’?a heavy, wide material of s'lk warp and woollen filling, still holds its own, as do also the “crape cloths,” poplins and serges. Fortunately, fashion does not dictate that these sombre cclored materials shail be reserved exclusively for mourning, so tl ladies to whom the color is be- comings may wear them without ai sad me y compelling. At Jackson's, No. 551 ad- Way, We were shown some exquisite pieces of “empress” cloth, which is one of the leading goods this season. The principal mourning goods shown us at this establishment were “Biarritz cloth,” with the cord running up and down instead of across; Otteman Foulards, of silk and wool, more heavily corded than “Empress cloths; “Henrietta cloths.” “imperial 3,” also of silk and wool—some- thing new; ‘crape cloths,” ‘'Tamise cloth,” and @ great variety of Doplins and al- pacas. For “second mourning” there are a number of pretty mixed grays of Irish, French and English poplins, stripped and checkered silks, and an infinite variety of ginghams, The “poplin de Paris” is at present much used for walking dresses, and is pretty and cheap. For house wear Brusse!s cards and nope alpacas are reckoned the most fashionable; but in silks neither “gros in,”? and “gross d’Afrique” are of place, Some very « Astracan cloths” — for cloaking, five-elghths to one and a half yards wide, have just been received by Mr. Jackson, and vary in price from $3 to $20 per yard. A new material for mournin, cloaking has just made its appearance, and is thic! and heavy, atid is admirably sulted for fall wear. 1t bears a strong resemblance to quilted silk, and 1s Chante with tinsels, which gives tt a very pretty mixture.

Paris, August 28, 1968. Should any of the brothers, husbands or lovers of your readers let their eyes wander by chance over this column, they are earnestly requested to turn the paper over to the advertisement side, and if they do not they are as guilty of curiosity and spying as I was myself in the following circumstances. A man who will look into things not concerning him, and he is forewarned that this article is no busl- ness of his, will by no means be justified in accusing me when I have exposed how I came to overhear and overlook what was not intended for my ears or my eyesight. I care less far the blame of ladies, because the revelations Tam about to make will be useful to them, and they will pardon the deed in consideration of the success of its results—a Jesultical concession which they, of course, only apply to fashions. I do not think I informed any one that my friend Vespetro asked me to occupy his rooms for a fortnight during his stay in the Pyrenees, and that I consented to do so all the more willingly as they overlook the Tuileries and open ona balcony of flowers under a glass awn- ing which extends all along the first floor of the house. I and Vespetro had smoked many a londréa in this kind of conservatory, and I had no reason to suspect that it was not so private as it seemed; but no sooner was I master of the premises than some stock of striped satins for underskirts and suits, which with propriety be called novelties. The chene silks at this store, and which were se- lected by the senior of the firm for our market, for walking dresses, as also glaze silks, are all of me- dium and high colors, aad are particularly attrac- ve. They have aiso several originals in velvets for cloaks and dresses and some very beautiful styles of black and other silks for outdoor costumes. Also some magnificently gotten up French fabrics in the fm) material, manufactured by Bonnet and by onson, In velvet serges some novelties will be found at this store—especially in the fabrics designed for walking dresses. There are also handsome silks epangtine) in plain colors and in giaze that are worthy ef critical examination. The stock of French and Irish poplins, of new shades, piain and glaze, was selected with unusual care, and the colors are all of the most agreeable shades and acceptable styles. Poplins are ver: much affected at present and will be held in hi esteem throughout the entire season, and it was probably with this thought in mind thé head of the house made guch large purchases to meet a demand that is mow placed beyond the region of specula- tion. In mourning goods the stock 1s full and is in all the latest European styles. As even fashion in the house of sorrow is not without its Se ey those ‘ould regret, in the most approved mode, the eparture to another sphere of existence of their ee i have every contingency supplied by the jesars. Jol n. Another feature of this house 1s their novelties in silk plush goods, which are in new colors. A a stock of exceedingly handsome silk for ball and bridal dresses are also on exhibition, also a select assortment of velveteens and Astrachan cloths of various colors are among the fabrics on exhibition and sale. Their exhibit of gloves (Jonvin) of French manu- facture is large, and include several novelties in color ag well as form. AT LORD AND TAYLOR'S ‘we examined a large stock of rich cameleons. One particularly attracted our attention—a maize leaf on 8 pearl ground, im chintz with forget-me-nots; also a cogerene flower on & grot of flo- rette shade. There were beside exhibited a sky-blue with sprays of forget-me-nots embroidered , with many other varie'tes, are novel- ties, as also are rich styles of satins, with em- bi leaves in various tints on @ black ground, for dinner dresses, most exquisite in finish and aeceptable in design. We also saw many new styles of changeable silks, in all tints aad combin: thereof, which greatly pleased us; but unfortun: it is not possible, without covering a great deal of ace, to give the reader anything like a succinct ea of the new goods now in market, and which can only be fully appreciated by personal examina- tion. {t is sufficient here to aay that the silks to be presently worn are of the most diverse colors—from cerisian green, through the various tints, up to gold and silver and purole. A specialty of this house is its dresses for brides, and for infants, fawn | other costumes for children we had placed before us @ christenti robe of lace in Valenciences and medallions of French needlework on a skirt of fine Indian- French. The robe was gored tn front and around the entire skirt and was embroidered eighteen inches in depth, This skirt, placed over a biue satin and with rash match, was valued at $2650, A child’s walking dress, of Valenciennes and French needlework on a pink petticoat, was marked as worth $150, A magnificently gotten up winter cloak for an infant, of white merino and embroidered in medallions of ‘eo and trimmed with che- nille, cost $180, ‘These also bridal and other costly attires, are made in the establishment, and ft has not unfrequently happened that ladies’ under- garments for the marriage attire, rich in needlework and lace, lave cost as high as $5,000, ‘The laces of this house are particularly rich and of course exhaustive—of the purse. We saw in the lace department work that, only three inches wide, Were worth $60 per yard, A mi cent specimen of embroidery at this place is the gored empresa robe, It was worked bya Madame Gomer, of Paris, and drew a first class prize at the Exposition. Ladies should examine it. It is exceedingly cheap, considering the vast amount of labor placed in it, It fe marked at $275, The plush goods at Lord & Taylor's are the finest we have seen, and include every variety of color. ‘The imitations of the skins of various wild animals are sure to be admired when seen. LAKE & M’OREERY have @ large and vaiuable stock of Irish changeable and = watcred poviins. Their line of silks, containing many novelties, has all the of color and combinations of tints, In plain gools they have innumerable shades that are new. Among these is an original called wd the French Pistache, which is introduced into both silks and satins; also a peculiar violet, @ French gray and biondine 1a mode, In satins this house is peculiarly rich, and in most instances the tints are acceptable, Their satins for bridal robes are exquisite; Which may also be sald of their velonte imperiaie corded, a pouit de sole. hrey have also a splendid line of velvets, including Million’s and Poisson's makes, These are peculiar in the fact that the shade of blue predominates in the dbep black—a novelty to this market. Their silks for waiking dresses are aiso worthy of notice, he plush goods at this store are original and 1. The silks are of the rarest tints, and the es of the costilest. Ladies would do theinselves a Savor to examine them In gloves there is a fair show of the best nish and manufactures, but we saw no noveities. AT ARNO! D, CONSTABLE AND CO.'S there i9 a fine Line of Woollen serges in all colors, also file abd Woolley werges, ebangeable vaiieure Ib var. the morning after he had left, while sipping my coffee all among the fuchsias and mignonette | dis- tinctly heard a rustle about the leaves which covered what I thought was simile trelliswork on the wall dividing Vespetro's rooms from others on the samo floor. 1¢ was no simile anything at all, for one of the Jattices opened and a note fw through with no name on it, Ifelt no compunction at pick- ing itup. I had caught sight of a very white hand and a glittering diamond ring, besides the square had been left open and there might be something to answer through this novel letter box. 1 felt red all over while I read the follo :—Be cautious, V.; the Marquis has arrived, and he ts the best sword: man in Europe. E.” There was no answer to that; the undersigned E. mistaken me for V., that was plain, and V. having had scent of the Marquis’ return, he being no swordsman at all, had left me in possession of the conservatory. I concluded there ‘was no immediate in living next window to a firet rate fencer, but resolved not to show myself, for the sake of both V. and EB. The small square was soon petulantly slammed to, the leaves rustied again, and it seemed that no more letter deliveries were to ‘be ex] ed that day. Towards two in the after- noon, however, just as I had got ready for my after- noon turn Sane the Bois, I went to light my on the balcot 1 there lay another white note an as follows:—“We which ran. ve for Wiesbaden . V. The Marquis’ niece, Comtesse Eliane and her mother-in-law, Baroness Fernandina are coming to take ices on pull that blind up in your study, you will see and hear us so nicely through that charming green wire gauze of your contrivance. Comtesse Eliane 1s going to tell me all about the Biarritz fashions, you know she has been to Fontaine- and the Empress has given her such a love of a pair of silver skewers to run her chig- non. Do you think you would like me.o do my hair @ la Chinoise, with the roots all combed oF ou know? E.” When I had the above I felt thankful that E. was going to Wiesbaden that night, and saw no reason Datla uals tae eoninea eC; there is not a soul in and if the fashions were coming to me in the shape of Comtesse Eliane, who could not only communicate what she had seen at the fountain head but hold forth on it was to be, why it was absolute folly to throw up such a chance for your readers, and pulling off my lavender kids I drew the blind up in the study. What a clever feliow Vespetro must be! There ‘was I as safe behind an open metailic blind as a nun behind the rails of a cloister—but what a different psition altogether! The wire was not coarser than ine open canvas, and I could clearly distinguish every detail on E.’s balcony. There was a round Japan table, garden chairs, rustic cases full of flow- ers, vases of rare hardware, stools of the same on bamboo legs, and fruit was set out in the centre of four delicate covers laid for ice and refreshments. From the top of the awning hung terra cotta recep- tacies for hanging piants, which fell over like rich lichens, J am not of an envious nature, but [ thought Vespetro must have had a terrible horror of the. Marquis’s sword to leave so sweet @ sanc- tuary. Ifelt very much as if 1 was in a baignoire at he opera when a graceful Fe | figure in white alpaca appeared at the opposite window, between ye Eo Lo ong poe — finger on her li ntomime style, stepped out on the balcony. That was £.; no doubt about it, for as she passed she whispered low merci and sat down where, if I had been Vespetro, he could feo her best, Isaw her very well indeed; she was dressed 4 (a Watteau, her costume was flounced round the bottom and the head frill bordered with black satin cross cut; her loose jacket was trimmed all over with black satin cord and @ Valenciennes neglige ap was formed by rosettes of lace and blue ribbon, Her collar was@ Valenciennes rumie, her cuffs of the same; she wore black satin shoes, open toc! and a blue necktie, The jacket was set off ‘by two ~~ Awd — a neck down behind and fanned tunic wit ice in one.

I mean to take these new plaid Wat- teanx to Wiesbaten for morning wear. They are soft and light and warm. Comtesse (putting down her brown straw hat turned up with blue)—My child, what ts to become of you? BO Tow imagine for one instant that we are not going to be warmer and aofter and lighter than ever? But let me te’! yon more ‘about our new Ori. ental fashions, In the first place chinolsertes wilt get the upper hand of Trianon and Louis XV. styles, Il the Lyons silks are ahot pink and bine, shot manve and green shot lavender pink and gold. Our Chambord stripes are wide satin on white, the new- est two inch stripes claret on shot apri- cot and white, green on shot salmon and white, bine on shot pink and white. It is as lovely as the top of fresh morning over white satin silk or foulard petticoats. Oh, my dear, and we are to enamel our faces and lift up cur eyelashes sideways and glide smoothly bv In crépe de chine, for all the world like incrustations of mother of peari ‘on tea caddies—the Empress 1s so fondiof hierogly- phics just now—and pagodas and tea essence, and ellow and delicate tists.

Baroness FYERNANDINA—A strange way of preserv- ing game. Comtesio Extane—The older and nastier the mora scent 9a advanced state requires, Ido betleve that is wxy 80 many courtiers go about now with snud boxes. But to return to our fashions. Hark, satin stitch work wil! be open on silk 80.48 to allow of a colored satin shining through the holes of the pat- tern underneath. Thus an apron front width worked clover-leaf pattern on lavender poult will be mag- nificent over rose satin. E.—And expensive, too, Comtesse ELIANE—That {s nothing. Some of the: dressmakers require twenty-eight yards of silk for flounces, frills, quillings. rosettes, bows, &c. The satin shot camelions are the worst, but so splendid. E.—And how about ball dresses? Comtesse ELIANE—Crépe de chine over tulle putt. ings. Three yards, or four at most, are sufficien but then it costs thirty-five and forty francs per yar: double, treble width. The shades the Empress hi ordered are peach blossom and twilight shot wit white. cy Alencon lace and diamonds with this. You have hgard of the new brooch, of course? At this moment a violent ring at the bell wae heard on the balcony from Vesnetro’s outer door. Marqvis.—Most unpleasant these flate. (To F.) My dear, I will not let von sleep another night het One’s privacy is disturbe1, one'’s——. What now! Thad stepped out on the balcony, for Vespetro’# voice to his servant was andibly approaching. Comtesse ELtANe (peeping over).—What now, Mar guis? A milord with whiskers dla cdteletieand in lavender pants. E.—Whiskers? (Vespetro wears an imperial.) Theard no more, for Vespetro rushed on the ba’ cony, dragged me intoa back room and appearsd too nervous to explain, After a time I ascertained that the Marquis wee F.’s guardian, in search of whom Vespetro had Jet Parla, but that he had heard of his arrival in the capital and had turned back to propose for E.’s hand and beart. It had not ocenrred to him that E. might mistake me for Vesnetro, as he had desired his coni- dential valet to inform E.'s confidential soubrette of his departure the day before her’s, They were to meet at Wiesbaden, Of course I never told Vespetro anything about the letter box. The whole party lett the same evening. and your readers shall have E.'s tronsseau. By the way, the new brooch is an enamelled branch of tix leaves, bearing fruit. Each fig is a stumpy, pear- shaped pearl. A thick serpent of precious stones colis in the centre, but instead of spitting out venonz it holds a large diamond ont on its forke’l tongue. Coral fs nsed much for fringe and “cabochous” on cross cuts, but much less for jewelry. Loose jackets are also made without sleeves, with. Pelerines, and large capes this winter, camail shape, Will be cloaks. Bands of black embroldered leaves are bought by the yard and sewn on velvet, instead of having the velvet embroliered, Leaves. fowers and fruit are the patterns. They are worked in black sewing silk and colored Bika. THE NATIONAL GAME. Mntual ve. Eckford. The home and home game between these clube came off yesterday afternoon at the Union grounds, Brook!yn, E. D., and resulted in a victory for the New York club. The Mutuals were out in full strength, while the Eckfords were minus the services of Martin. Davenport, formerly of the Mo- hawk, pitched for the Eckfords in the early part of the game, but the Mutuals ‘‘got ther heyes hin and ‘it ’Im about pretty lively, ye ‘now. Daven- port was then sent to the fleld and Malone came in to pitch, and matters were made to appear better for the Eckfords. The Mutuals played fev T at cen- tre field and Swandel at third base. en these ers become a little more practised in the posi- ons the chai will, no doubt, be found to be quite tive. Dockney played behind in something like his old style and made to dance around quite lively to to stop for Wolters. The general piaying on either side was by no means brilliant. Tie score of the RLF.

On Friday afternoon, at the foot of Morris monn- tain, in the Harlem district of Manhattan, nine youths clad in purple cloth did encounter nine other youths clad in “mail.” The purple knights carried high a standard bearing the word “Olympic,” while the mail clad warriors had emblazoned on their escutcheon the quaint compound, “ Post-office.”” The tilt was sharp, and each did try his best to worst the gallant youth pitted against him in the fray. It was unique, this battle. Tho purple knights would, one after another, grasp and flourish a lengthened bludgeon, and with power ae much as he could bring would with this bludgeon strike @ globe, the which a mail clad warrior would ropel towards him.
