‘OUR SUMMER RESORTS. Lowe Bia? ole Distinguished Visitorse—Gloriaus Weather A Drowning Catastvophe—Teame en the Rend—Grand Sunday Concert, Lone Branca, Augn*t 2, 1869 Of all the watering places which have been galvan- Yemg themseives into life this summer Long Branch Was pertape made the longest stride towards suc- eas. ‘This fact may be accounted for in many ways. ‘Whe first ts undoubtediy the great advantages of 1ts maguificent beach, the finest, perhaps, In the world. ‘Rue next is the number and general excellence of its hotels, and the third is that fashionable and promi- nent people, from Presidents to attractive belles and leaders of the ton, Co most affect it as a summer re- sort, Another reason is that the weather here is glorious. ‘The recent calamity on the beach to-day, by which Mr. Kerr, of Paisley, Scotiand, Jost his }ife by drown- ing, ought to suggest to the hotel keepers the hu- manity of providing some appliances for the safety @f bathers. A surf boat, for instance, at every bath- ing piace, with life preservers attached, would be effective enough if properly handled, And mm speak- Ing of bathing places, it would not be amiss if the e@omforts and cleanliness of bathers were better attended to, and a respectable substitute adopted for the miserable bathing boxes, which are the meanest supplied for visitors at any watering place inthe world, Salt water bath- gis a luxury, but ajuxury measured to a greatex- tent by the attendant comforts of capacious and clean bath houses, large towels, and other endurable ap- pliances, Long Branch ts probabiy destined to be the most popular watering place in the country, The number of elegant cottages being put up and those at present occupied bespeak for it a3 large a share of atronage as any American re- * sort can ope for in these days when European travel has become “the thing.’’ Among all the pretty homes that skit the beach i# the cottage of George W. Childs, of Philadelphia, from which, this evening, we are inhaling the balimiest breeze thet ever came, soft and soothing, trom the bosom of old ocean, It is something grand to think of, says the genial proprietor of wus ex- quisite little mension, tiat there is nothing but that magnificent waste of water between us and the sunny shores of Yortugai. We feel the rewark, aud €an aimost smell the orange blossoms, It 1s said that President Grant is about to build a eottage on the lot adjoining Mr. Childs’ domestic bijou, and no better spot at Long Branch could be aelected for that purpose. Your readers have already been informed of the President's visit to Bricksburg and ali the incidents pertaining thereto, They have heard of the flue cultural region around that mushroom village of (wo years’ growth, and What a splendid adver- MHIng medinin the President was unconsciously made on the occasion to enhance the value of the 25,000 acres owned by the land company there- abouts. I may add here thatthe present of a band- some farm of fifty ucres which was gewerously ten- red to President Grant Was respectfully and deli- eately deciined by him. Long Branch is now, as ever, celebrated for its admirable teams, which keep up tne sporton the road, and, its luxuriously appoimted club house—a curiosity in its line—which maintains the dignity of that branch of high life within doors amid fres- eoes and buifets and the bonlommie of its propri- etor. The most prominent turn-out is that of Dr. pes ong ange &@ magnificent four-in-hand, driven, cer- tainiy, by the best whip at the Branch. The Doctor, in his unostentatious way, makes the most of his wealth; his friends, rather than mmself, being the largest aaraness of the luxuries by which he is sur. rounded. ‘The hotels have thetr usual modicum of visitors and amusements. The Stetson House 1s grave and aignified in its guests as in ite appearance; the Con- tinental ia just now momentarily in gloom because of the sad accident which occurred almost at its door, which swept a guest and a transitory stranger in thia country, in presence of his afticted family, from life to death. The Metropolitan flourishes in peaceful comfort, and in the enjoyment of a select company, under the new management of its Napo- Jeonic director, Louis Leland, and the tmported akili from Seratoga, concentrated in its bustling maitre a@e cuisine, Mr, Steward Hodge. The Metropolitan is erhaps “em of the quietest, but best kept hotels on beac! ‘There waa a very delightful concert given on Sun- @ay evening at the Continental, by Signet opera and his grand orchestra.

Percent eres SARATOGA, August 2, 1569, The church bells notified Saratoga yesterday morn- ing that it was Sunday, and that an excellent oppor- tunity would be afforded about eleven o'clock for fashion tospread herself, The number wno responded to the summons was shockingly insignificant; firat, because the alabaster forms are not accustomed to the habits of the lark; second, because few mortals are blessed with talents to wt ljashionabie tollet before noon, and third, becayse Whéa nightly hops and frequent balls lend the brilliancy of gaslight to attire, they must be desperate indeed who expose the mysteries of their art to the uncompromising sun. There were some fresh young faces and sedate matrons, not having the fear of daylight before their fashionable vision, however, who joined the regular congregations, and added not @ little to the woridly attractions of the churches, At the Presbyterian church, Dr, Vincent, of Troy, preached to # Jarge congregation in the morning. The Congregational church was well attended at both services. Rev. Mr. Day preached in the morning, and Rev. Dr. Vincent in the evening. The usual monthly communton service superseded the regular afternoon service. Rev. W. H. Harri- won, of Augusta, Ga., officiated at the Episcopal ehureb in the evening, and at the Baptist church Rev. Dr. Spear preached tu the morning and Rev, Dr. Cheever in the evening, both to large and inte- rested congregations, Dr, Wiliam Butler presented the cause of the American and Foreign Uhristian Union at the Methodist church in the morning, and the regular Universalist service was held at the rooms of the Young Men’s Christian Association morning and evening. A few gilded equipages marshalled themselves before the sacred edifices, but most of the congrega- tions moved by platoons aiong the shaded walks, thereby deplaying the triumphs of genius in the etarch and slipper branches and the latest agony in parasols. The rustling of siiks in the aisies and the Autiering of wonderful handkerchiefs and fans were conducted in a manner gratifying ‘o the most fasti- ious critic of religious worship, and the organs praised God for his mercies with a!) the precision Mat operatic cultivation conld exact, The exhib!- tion of prayer books was exceedingly fine, and the admonitions of the preacher were applied by the Hsteners to their several friends and acquaintances with a discrimination truly surprising.

Sigh Rook Spring 18 J larly sought, in corse: quence of the in ag geological ‘and historical associations counected with it, 1t is provably un- known to Many that Hgb Rock 13 not only a source from which the spring issues, but 18 formed of tie mineral! deposits of the water itself, Imagine a coni- cal rock, twelve feet in diameter at its base aud seven feet high, with a round hole a foot in diameter from bottom to top, through which the water boils up and over the sides and you have an idea of this singular formation. A few Rg 0 this rock, which was then partially imbedded in the accumula- tions Of soil, was lifted from ita seat and a tube run down thirty-live feet to shut of a small vein of fresh water which mingled with the spring. In making the excavation timbers, petrimed leaves and wainut meats were found beneath the rock. The timbers were not petrified, but preserved their woody nature so as to be cus with 4 penknife, and from their position t¢ was judged that they had served as & path and enclosure to the spring. Tho geological examination of the rock made by some of tne most learned geologists of the day, including Professor Henry, of the Switbsouian Institute, shows it to be at least 6,300 years old, and some eminent aclentists pronounce tis age even gerater than this. To-day L chipped with my thumb nail natural fore from an oak block taken from beneath this rock, where it had lain through so many = and as 1 reflected upon the period which had elapsed the question presented itself, what people cut these tumbers and placed them here in what is consiuered the infancy of the world? The estimate of the age of the rock is based upon the knowledge of the last several years respecting the annual strata formation, which is easily discerned, as frost checks all deposit, and the strata appear like the annular rings of the oax; and tf this reckomtag be correct how far back must we go to reach Adam, the father of all these people who lived about here 6,000 years ago? The hostorical associations of the spring connec: it with Sir Willtam Johnsoa, who was brougnt to it on a lit. ter forty miles in 1767 by the Indians to be cured of his ies, aud later with councils between the In- dans and the whites, at which the calumet was smoked, and the transfers of territory solemnized, The spring is now handsomely enclosed. The rock pours forth its waters, each year adding a new layer to the surface, and will each season become a grander record of the past.

Will President Grant be here to-morrow? Is the question asked on baie hand. The Associated Press despatches from Washington stated some days ago that the President would be here on the 3d, and as the races commence in earnest on the 4th there seems @ probability that the august horse fancier will gratify fashionable expectation with his ‘pre- sence. Some of the Congress Hall guests, however, Bay that they met Mrs. Grant at Long Branch a few days ago, and that im conversation with her no mention was made of a visit to Saratoga; but, on the other hand, Master Grant told Mr. Griswold that his father was certainly going to the races. no rooms nave been orde! yet for Presidential occu- patton this week there is some tack of faith in the advent of the President; bat the majority despe- rately believe he will come, and grounded in that hope are witholding m secrecy sundry articies of gorgeous parel with which to stun Mrs, rant when the Chief Magistrate does appear. in order that no serious results may follow the disap- pointment of those whose fate takes them from Saratoga soon I will inform them now that they may a8 well bring out their champion attire at once, as the President cannot at present get farther trom Washington than @ Brauch, and will not be here for twe weeks. When he does come he will be ac- companied by.

THE CIVIL GOVERNMENT OF FRANCE. Ancient and Modern Governments of France Napoleon’s RalePowers and Duties of the Various Branches—The Seuate and Corps Legistatif—The New Reforms—How They Affect the Emperor’s Power. From the time of the firstof the Bourbon race down to the period of the French Revolution ana the execution of -Louis XVI. France boasted of an unbroken dynasty. The revolution gave birth to the several successive experiments of the States General, Constituent Assembly, Legislative As- sembly and the Republic and Convention, which ended in the reign of terror. Then came the Direo- tory, the Consulate and the Empire under Napoleon. Foreign bayonets restored the Bourbonsin 1814 Louis XVIII. was succeeded by Oharles X., whose dethronement, in 1830, was followed by the accession to the throne of the younger branch in the person of Louis Philippe. The social grievances and political errors which characterfzed the Bourbon régime terminated in the convulsion of 1848 which drove the King and his court from France, and inaugu- rated a provisional government, with Lamartine at its head, Then followed the National Assembly, elected by universal suffrage, the adoption of a con- ‘stitution and the election of Louis Napoleon as Pres- identof the French republic. A troubled existence of afew years convinced the wise heads of France that the experiment was an abortion, ahd thata stronger and more durable government was required to master the elements of aiscord which threatened anarchy and ruin to the country. The President of the republic appreciated the gravity of the situa- tion, aud determined to forestall the necessities of the nation by attempting vo put into execution the favorite scheme ot Napoleon I. and reconcile tn France personal ana political liberty and equality before the law with a hereditary throne, The cele- brated cowp d'état was the result of this determina- tion—the constitution of 1843 was overthrown— and the people ratified the assumption of imperia) power by a vote of 7,864,189 against 253,145. The Emperor recognizing the Duke of Reichstadt, the only issue of Napoleon I. Napoleon IL, assumed, as the hereditary successor of his uncle and cousin, the title of Napoleon LI. In 1853 he es- poused the present Empress Eugénie, Countess of Teba, and daughter of Count de Montijo, Senator and grandee of Spain. ‘The promising young Prince Imperial is the only issue of this mar- riage, and is heir presumptive to the throne of France, 1n case of his death and in default of other issue the succession falls to Prince Napoleon, son of Prince Jerome and cousin to the Emperor. From the revival of the impersal dignity in the person of Napoleon III, to the present time the empire has continued unint prod by revolution, and, it must be adgutted, un: t France has become one of the jst nations in Europe, and las experienced a reign of tranquillity @ud prosperity unknown in her pre- vigus history: ~ uch, In @ few words, is a historical outline of Mowarchical, revolutionary and imperial France down to tifis year of grace 1969, when a new and powerful party sprmgs up, demanding legisla- tive refol clanning democratic institutions, universal suifrage and the sacrifice of personal power and time-honored prerogative as an earn- est of the liveral aspirations of the people and their discontent under imperialism, We are well aware that the history of France ts familiar to al- most every reader, yet we have ventured to tndulge 10 this cursory reyiew before examining briefly the civil government Of the present empire.

Thiers is the coampion of the liberals, but his pecuilar notions of constitutional monarchy are scarcely in accordance with the progres- sive ideas of arty. ‘The liberal impe- rialists are led by Emile Ollivier, to whom the Emperor has been so partial of late as to have urged his acceptance of a portfolio, Ollivier 1s aman of great ability, and might, were he more consistent, jes6 vaciliating and more judiciously ambitious, be- come one of the most powerful and popular party leaders in France. Tne ministerial conservatives recognize Mons. Schneider as their chief, while Baron David, Granier de Cassagnac and M. du Mira lead the seer each wig. Besides these there are several Catholic liberals without any special prominence or influence, The republicans or “radicais" are daily gaining streggth and promise to be the party of the future. They may eventually succeed in uniting all the opposition factions with them against imperialism. So far the government has matntained @ decided majority in the Agsem- bly, and has legislated to suit its own pur- pone But that majority may be overcome—the fate elections reduced it considerably—another ap- peal to the people may place the party of progress in the ascendancy, and then will follow a struggle for mastery which may. revolutionize the country and settle the question, 80 oiten discussed, whetner or not France ig prepared for free government— Whether or not an empire surrounded by such insti- tutions a3 Napoleon has introduced tn his adminia- tration is the form of goverument best Cree tothe wai of the people and the protection of order and society, ‘The Counchi of State numbers forty or more ordi- nary councillors, with a salary of 26,000 francs each; several extraordinary councillors and other execu- tive functionaries. its members are appointed by the Emperor, and revocable by him. © French princes, by coysent of Napoleon, aud the Ministers are entit ed to vote in this body. Its duties are to frame bills, under the guidance aud sanction of the Emperor, for the, Assembly; to solve dimculties arising in administrative affairs; regulate questions of public administration, and support, in benalt of the government, the dis- cussion of whatever bills may be presepted to the Senate and Corps Légisiatif. The counciliors are thorough imperialists, and true and tried friends to the Emperor. Next in dignity is the Council of Ministers, com- posed of the Minister of State and the heads ef the different State departments. Its duty 1s to overlook administrative legislation, and everything concern- ing general internal and external policy, the security of the ig eg and the maintenance of imperial authority. Each miniaver is responsible to the Em- peror in so far only as his department is concerned. Ministerigi respopsivility 1s urgently claimed by the opposition, and on a question of demand for this reform, lately presented, they counted a strength of 155 Votes. The several State departments, presided over by Ministers receiving salaries of 100,000 francs per annum, may be sunimed up as follows:—Department of State, War, Marine and Colonies, Foreigu Affairs, Finance, Commerce and Pubiic Works, Agriculture, Public Instruction, Justice and Public Worship, the Interior aad the Imperial Household and Fine Arts, In conclusion, it must be admitted that France has been admirably and successfully governed by Napo- leon Ill, He assumed the reins of government when popular discontent, famine, suffering and riot were everywhere prevalent; he restored order, re- lieved distress, gave @ new impetus to commerce, inaugurated an era of improvements, made Paris the queen city of the world, and his country pros- Lert aud powerful.

This aroused the fury of tie insuited party, and with a beer lass he hit Renm ou the eide of the ea, knocking him down and inficting a deep cut. Rehm got on his feei again and rushed furiously on Uagenloch, who stood his ground, and both men clinched, struggling despe- rately, At this crisis Miller, the saloon keeper, 1n- terfered, and received from Hagealoch a severe cut a the right arm, tnficted with a broken beer glass. inaily he managed to separate the combatants, apd with the assisiance of some lookers on put Hagonioch into the street, keeping Rehm in the house, Sogeevering to calm him down.
