LONG BRANCH. ‘Tee Way the Wenther “Amfoces People and ‘Thluge at the Branch—vepariure of the President for Sta: Lone Brancn, July 19, 1871. ‘The peopie here are experiencing with what equa- mimtty they may the glorious uncertainty of the ‘Weather, Common life 1s made up of “ioul and fair,” and even iife at tne Branch is no exception to the inevitable rule. So ‘fair and toul’’ two days we have not seen succeed each other herve since the sea- fon opened. Not so bad as the “fair and foul” of the Knight of Glamis, which made up but one day; we Feguire two days to complete the simile.

Atthe time of high _ Bide the sea sont to the beach its most rollicking and largest proportioned breakers, against whose builet- ings no lusty arms were opposed, but fair yielding forms, with loua and merry laugh, accepted their embraces. On land the drives were im the finest order, and in the evening, when the New York train was ex- pected, the turnout of equipages was fine; but a Mher sight by far was the tatr occupants hurrying to greet and welcome expected relations aua iriends. ‘To-day, what a change! A cold, drenching rain storm keeps every one in doors, man and horse, ‘With the exception of the hotel sehus, who have to turn out their teams and themselves at the regular train hours or at the command of the almighty dol- lar, when required to convey & party to some dis- tant hotel, the only point d’appui of the Branch, ‘The sea all day was like faith—to be felt, not seen— ‘that 1s, it was palpable to one sense oniy, the sense of nearing. We could hear the breakers roar, and knew that the beach was hoary with the vexed surge; but ap impenetrable pall Of nist covered the waters, hidtuy even the white crested waves as they roiled landward. Of course all hotel humanity in- doors Were depressed by the nature of thinus out of doors, and a gloomy day was spent by all. ‘The storm ill have tue effect of throwing back for some days the ce of visitors which the hotel roprietors here are eXpecting from other fashiona- resoris.

Rockaway, L. I., July 18, 1871. Time was when Rockaway boasted among its pa- tons, and their name was legion, tne most discrim!- mating and liberal of watering piace refugees from every section of ihe country. There was no beach equal to it for the belght and force of the seething breakers which rolled in upon its silvery shores to lave with their invigorating force the tnrong of hu- ‘manity that morning and evening went forth to wel- come their coming and be tossed back to the strand for their pains. The fame of the place was spread broad, and the harvest of the hotel keepers at Rockaway, in the days of gold and silver currency, Was commensurately great. The remembrance of ‘hose halcyon days is still aweit upon by te now sorrowing caterers to the wants of the compara- tavely few patrons of Rockaway. There are various theories given as to the cause of the falling off in its popularity. One is that the immense sana bar, termed Hog Island by we residents, which has grown up by the action of the sea in forming a channel between the mainiand and tho open sea, ‘as #0 far removed THR SURF BATHING from its former position as to ‘epreciate the attrac- tions, because of tue trouvie attendant upon reach- ing the outer veach. 10 opviate thls latter dificuity, however, a fleet of yacuts or small sailboats has Deen organized by an enterprising individual, who Fejoices 1n the euphonious though rare name of Smith. This individual vas a patch label on the mainsall of each boat as tollows:— “OVER AND BACK FOR FIVE CENTS.” Stepping on bourd ouc of these miniature ferry- boats, destined for tne tripover the channel, tne precaution 18 very properly given, ‘Hats off and heads down,"’ as the seats are high and the boom of the sallow. The point of einbarkation 1s a small rickety staging at vhe fuot of the main road to the beach. Persons who preier still water bathing in the chanuel of course save their ferriage and incur the contempt and withering sovra of che ferrymen, ‘who have no respect ior still water people whatso- ever. The ferriage is the main object with them, pee stiows anu they are vent upom taking every- ly “over and back” Jor five cents that imay nap- M oO appreact (nem. “Make hay while the sup shines” js the motto woich iney cogs in view. Another reason assigned tur the lack of success this veason at Kockaway is Wat the rain, which @iways makes tac water chilly, has fallen so ire- quently tuts summer tnat fuixs preter Ww remain at home and wail uuu a more torrid Condition of the ‘weather is reached. ‘We generally have so much Warm aud £0 much cool weat sald an observant snd philusophical caterer to u nd us we have had all the cvul weather wé are likely to have this sea- gon, Why we to do the LOOK TO ‘OLD SOL’ Tor s and urive fo ks away from the Hot, elose city io Luis splendid wacerme place, where @ sea breeze is wiways suring and Che surf rolling.’ Speaking 0! the period when the Jame of Kockaway ‘Was at ive zeniti, a decade of years ago, a reve end Visitor who bas ‘been iu (ne davit Oo: commmyg nere since 180%, said, “Why, oI, i never supposed that Rockaway coud so retrograde in poputarity as | tind ft bas.

Memphremagog signifies in the Indian dialect “Beautiful Waters.” Tae lake is situated on the borders o. Vermont and Canada; it is nearly titty miles long and about three miles wide, The shores present a spiendid panorama of rural beauties, indented with pretty bays of various sizes, bold headlands an neat snrabbery. Seme twenty islands are scattered over the lake’s surface, adding much to the beauty of the scene. sloping hills run along the east snore aud on the west side loom up towering mountains, whose lofty peaks seem to b2 crowned with the dome above.

Corruption—What the City is Losing—The Banke—The Pavement Jobs and the Contract System. The people of Jersey City have now lived long enough to find out that it makes very little difference which of the two political parties administers the affairs of the city. The corruption under the demo- cratio administration had become so flagrant that the people arose and drove every democrat out of office last fall. It has mow come to pass that the republicans are undergoing a course of training for the purpose of FLEECING THE PEOPLE. At the latest meeting of the Board of Finance Mr. Gillett—the only republican who has latd bare every scheme of fraud—inquired what had become of the balance of $139,000 which remained in theold city treasurer's hands, The inquiry brought down upon his head a shower of personalities from Mr. Carnes, who seemed tobe nettied at the unexpected ex- posure, Itiinally leaked out that the money re- ferrea to has been lying in the First National Bank witaout drawing one cent of interest, so that by operation and other similar ones the CITY HAS 1038T FULLY $15,000, a for the benefit of the First National Bank and ite rienus, ‘The present treasurer prepared resolutions for the transier tree months ago and placed them in the nands of Mr. Pritchard, President of the Board of Finance, and Mr. Carnes, another member of the Board, but the resolutions never since saw the light.

ANOTHER KU KLUX OUTRAGE, Where Are the “Iavestigating Committee” To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— * Tho following communication was clipped from the Southern Home (edited by General D, H, Hill), of July 9, 1871:— ANOTHER OUTRAGE. DALLas, Gaston County, June 29, 1871. On Wednesday, the 14th instant, this community ‘as startled Led another of those horrid outrages hat have become 80 common here of late. iit Schenck, @ colored shoemaker of this place, went to the house of Mr. Aaron Rudisill, living near here (a quiet, harmless and inoffensive ola gentieman), and after somne conversation went out of the house. Mr. Rudisill at the samo time started to feed his stock and on a, he found Schenck on the porch, minus his pants. Schenck then proceeded to divest himself of his plirt—that operation being completed, ne was in puris naturalibus. He then went into the house and went to bed, he Lite | previously tain down with his clothes on. In the meantime the wife, daugnter and granddaughter of Mr. Rudisill were going over to his daughter's house, a quarter of a ile distant. After Schenck had lain upon the bed ‘a few minutes he got up, and, meeting Mr. Rudisill near the door, knocked him down and abused him considerably, braising his face and cutting his lips. He then started in pursuit of the women, and, hav- ing overtaken them, knocked Mrs. Rudistl down, and then ran capering off in the field like a mad- man, Mrs. Rudisill got up and had proceeded a short distance when he again came up with her and knocked her down, and would perhaps have killed her but that he proposed not to do xo if she would go back home, which she consented to do. He thep pushed or knocked the daughter down and at tempted to commita rape upon her. Mr. Lineberger and his two sons, who live near by, hearing the acreams of the women, came to their rescue. The boys, arriving first, ordered him to give himself up. He refused. One of them took hoid of him, when he pulled away from him and made at the other one, who knocked him down with an axe, He lfy a snort tline, recovered and started torun, Mr, Lineberger coming up inthe meantime, fired at him with nis gun, but missed him. They then gave chase aud soon overhauled him, brought him to town (still nude), when he was committed to jal. Next morn- ing Dr. Abernethy was sent for, and upon examin- ing Mrs. R. found six teeth had been knocked loose and the lower Jaw-bone broken. He extracted five—three from the 1ower jaw coming out together with a plece of the jaw-bone attached. Her mouth was otherwise badly injured. She is still suffering. There were plentiful signs of blood where Mrs. K. was knocked down, Mr. Rudisill and his wife are both old people and very [ratl, and are as harmless, inoffensive people asarein the county. The outrage was committed ‘with @ny provocation whatever, neither of the parties having any il will toward the other, The only thing that can be urged in extenuation is that Schenck had been drinking for some time, eatin but little, and on that day was supposed to have hat no liqnor, and was laboring under a fit of mental aberration, When sober he 1s civil and courteous, This cannot be calied a Ku Kiux outrage, as ali the parties, except the magistrate, are radicals, and some of them members of the league.

Would they ‘wait the slow process of the courts of justice, evan though justice was impartially administered, or would they take the law into their own hands?

A Field Day in the United States Circuit Court. DISCHARGE OF HEAVY ARTILLERY. Yesterday Judge Blatchford sat in the Umted Staves Circuit Court from eleven o’clock in the morn- ing until seven in the evening to hear a motion to settle an order under iis Honor’s recent decision, calling upon Jay Gould to make good 30,000 shares of Erie stock which, it 1s alleged, he has abstracted from the custody of the Court while these shares were in the handsof its receiver; and also a motion | on the part of Heath and Raphael, the English | shareholders, for an injunction restfalning the Erie | Rallway Company and Jay Gould from issuing 80,000 shares of Erie stock, and the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company from registering the same if they shoutd be issued, Mr. Southmayd and ex-Attorney General Hoar appeared as counsel for Heath and Raphael, and Mr. D. D. Field, Mr. Sherman and Mr. Beach for Jay Gould, the Erle Railway aud the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company. ARGUMENT OF MR, SOUTHMAYD, After having read the order proposed to be made on either side, and commented as he went along, Mr. Southmayd observed that it was no part of this case to compel the Master to inquire as tothe ownership of the, 60,000 shares of stock claimed by Heath and Raphael. Such a demand as that made by the Erie Company was put in for the purpose of continuing this litl- gation and rendering it almost interminable. The Erie Company and Mr. Gould proposed to pay Heath and Raphael $15,000, in piace of $650,000, the former being the amount they considered them entitled to according to the difference between registered and unregistered stock, That was the amount Mr, Gould proposed to give them for the $650,000 he had put in his pocket, The first important feature of difference between the order proposed by his (Mr. Southmayd’s) side and the other side was specific and unmista- kable as to wnat Mr. Gould would be obliged to do in replacing this stock, or making compensation for it. ‘he Court had decided that Mr. Gould must do that. Inasmuch as this order might be founded upon @ pro- ceeding for contempt, it was desirable that the order should be specific; 1t was desirable in view of the rights of his client, that the controversey in Tespect to the misdoings of Mr. Gould should be brought to an end and not be kept before His Honor not only all the sammer but ali the winter. This was a summary proceeding. The thing which Mr. Gould took was not an abstraction; it was not an intangible thing. He took away from the possession of the Court a physical thing—certificates of 30,000 ehares of stock. ‘That was what he had taken away and in substance turned into money. It was true he only took away papers; but. they were tilled documents in _ contempla- tion of law; they were representative {nings, and, for all legal purposes, they were money. In the old law books they were told that the bond waa thedebt, In the eye of the law the bond was th debt. Stock certificates were valuable documents; documents which potential roduced to the man who heid them the value of the money they repre. sented. These certificates were worth $660,000, and not $15,000; not some imaginary thing with a fic- titious value put on it; not with a value put upon 1¢ by a troop of brokers acting in the tnterest of Gould, Tbey were not to ascertain the value of the stock by, such means as that, The value of the stock was the money tbat Mr, Gould put into his pocket by reason of his taking away the certificates from the custody of the Court, and not one solitary dollar of which he could have touched if he had hot abstracted the certiq- cates. By this audacious rovbery by this man Gould of this stock he had put into lis pocket $650,000, and he never could have effected the rob- bery If he had not abstracted the certificates. It was then proposed that when he made the restoration of 30,000 shares Lo the receivership Mr. Gould should have transferred to him 30,000 unregisterable shares it was true, The demand of Heath and Bee yy Was that the 30,000 shares which had the 1 ving ality extracted from them and communicated to jouldis dead ana void peper should have life ee to them, and that when the stock was made living stock, a8 it Was when Gould interfered with It, the new and the old certificutes should be put together and the old cancelied. Now, instead of putting those two things together, to make 30,000 shares, Gould demands that he shall have 30,000 skeleton shares turned over to him. ‘he importance of that was very striking. His Honor had already decided that Mr. Gould bad committed the abstraction of ttlea documents from this Court, and that he should an- swer to the Court for the wrong that he had done, This Conrt, in this proceeding, takes entire cogni- wance of this matter, that whatever was to be done to Mr. Gould in respect to it was to be done now here and on this petition. Mr. Gould bad chosen to deal as suited his pleasure with property taken by nim from this Court; he had Sree | with bi dealing of 11, and as the result of that deal put $660,000 in his pocket. the Court to deal with god that had been under its control, ant he (Mr. Southmayd) thought he was justified in as- suming that when the Court had got through with Mr. Gould he would not have cause to be so well satisfied as he was now with his status im the matt He (Mr. Southmaya) believed be was correct in suming that His Honor would vindicate the au- thority of the Court and protect tue rights of these ay he would maintain the admiuistration of justice; he would be perfectly sure as to the order that ought to be made in this matter, and iis Honor would not leave in Mr. Gould’s pocket any mon he got there bv extracting it drom Brope belonging to the Court; he would not let this Man exult in this audacious act; he would not do anything of that sort that would bring the administration of law and of justice into contempt, Mr. Southwayd then went on to show woat was the |, Status of Mr. Gould when he bean this alleged Wrongful dealing with the stock of the Erie Ratlway Company, which, he said, His Hoaor had just de- cided. Gould, when he made out the certificates on the basis of the convertibie bonds, did not sell them, and if he cou!d have sold them he would not have extracted this property from the Conrt; and he could not sell them until he breathed the breath of life into them by extracting this property from the Court. ‘The certificates were utterly void in law— | they were nothing, they were mere nullities, They were not of any use, because confessedly they had the mark upon them that substantially established their { mvahdity, Therefore Mr. Gould had nothing which ‘ ‘was either of intrinsic or apparent value, and what he gave to anybody as tue basis of the property he heid was what he had directed two of his cierks to make out after holding @ consultation with Fisk an Lane. They go through the motion of making ow those two converjible bonds wren uot w dollar of money had passed to anyoody at the time Goul took the stock and atiached that of Heath an Raphael to it. It was ail done by direction of Mr, Goud to two of his underlings, sud they go through the Jorm of making out those two fooush papers. ‘ts Preident of the Ere Company he abused ha bis power over bis subordinates; he obliged them to make out those cerifcates whea there was no authoriily for him to do 80 Mr. Southmayd went on to say that Mr. Gould wag @ man quite fertile in tricks and devices, and he bad shown himseit in the course of this litigation to be wholiy unscrupulous. Counsel anticipated as the resuit of such order as the Court might maie a large amount of filibustering on he part of Gould, so that he might avoid compliauce with the order, There ‘Was not the slightest chance of getting through with ‘this business until the last trick Which human inge- nuity could pian on the part of Mr. Gould to avoid the substantial restitution of the property ab- stracted was completely exhausted. Gould must be compelled to bring back to the Court the property he had abstracted from it or be made to suffer peaalty for contempt. With reference to the proposed change of the registering agent, Mr. Southimayd ob- rved that When @ man unscrupulous, audacious and tricky as iKed the Court instead = of roviding that (the — plaintife should have the stock registered = with th the ca "wit, anf old agent, that It should be regis “ered with agent he mignt see fit to employ, was that {t was doue for thé purpose of cnabil him, in case this good old-lashioned company Ay Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company) would not be facile enough to serve lls purposes, ne then would ut in their place some other concern that would, ‘Oask KUCH an Oruer WAS ab indication of a desire on the part of Gould to exercise one of his subter- fuges, Much had been said about the persecution of Gould by the petitioners, but there Was not one | punitive feature in the peution. It was merely asked that Gould, who got $650,000 as the proceeds Of his Wrongtul aot, or who got the money value of 30,000 shares of the Erie Kailway Gompany, shoulda restore those shares or the money value of them, . Ho (counsel) should like to have some means of pun- ishing Gould, but he did not see any, . A SPICY BYISODE. When Mr. Southmayd closes his argument Judge Blatchford observed that perhaps one-half of it was latonded for the newspapers and not for the cuse, Mr. SourHMayn—I disclaim any such intention, Lhave never thought of bringing & reporter into Court, except to take @ stenographic note of the : proceedings for my OWn tse, Judge BLatcuronn-—-It would be highly desirable i if counsel would confine thesselves to a discussion: ky of the points and facts of te case.
