The Fashionable Exodus to Europe. The summer season is upon us, when the fashionable world of our cities and towns packs up and hies away to Europe, to the springs, the lakes, the mountains or the seaside, in search of recreation, health and pleasure. Some of the summer hotels at Niagara, Sara- toga and other places nearer home are already reopened, and within a week or two the whole catalogue, from the New Dominion to the Old Dominion and West Virginia, and from Maino to the Far West, will be ready to receive their friends. Preparations on a larger scale than usual have been made for an immense visita- tion at Long Branch, and in every direction “great expectations” are entertained of a season of unparalleled brilliancy and success. Itis the year of the Presidential election, and thousands of politicians more than usual will be drifting about at the watering places. Business over all the Union for the year past has been generally good, and, notwithstanding the prevailing labor strikes, never have all the various business pursuits throughout the coun- try been more generally prosperous than they are at this time. The ripening and growing crops in all sections of the country—wheat, corn, tobacco, sugar, rice, cotton, and so forth—promise good returns. No fears are en- tertained of any financial disturbance; peace is re-established with England; Mr. Fish has in- definitely postponed his unsettled accounts with Spain; and all Europe, from the British Islands to the Golden Horn, is open to Ameri- can travellers, To crown the general argu- ment in support of the prevailing idea of a prosperous season, not only for the Atlantic steamers, but for our summer resorts, it ap- pears to be generally understood that a larger proportion than for many years past of our financiers, speculators, farmers, planters, manufacturers, merchants, mechanics and professional men of all descriptions have been saving and laying by for this summer's holi- day expenses, including Presidential contin- gencies, larger sums of money than usual. Grouping all these reasons together, and con- sidering the general political commotion and the increased passenger trafic in all direc- tions incident to the stirring excitements of a Presidential campaign, the question naturally recurs, What is there to prevent the gathering of a bountiful harvest by the smiling landlords of our summer watering places—salt, fresh and mineral waters, coastwise and inland ? Looking to the encouragement of home ine dustry and American enterprise in all things, we hope for the best in reference to our sum- mer caravansaries at the seaside and in the in- terior ; but, from the facts before us, we very much fear that the trip to Europe holds tho balance of power against them. We under- stand that the twelve steamers per week which leave this city for European ports carry out with them on an average one hundred and fifty cabin passengers; that this has been going on since the 1st of May, and that the first class accommodations, outward bound, of these steamers are booked up to near the end of August. Now, here we have eighteen hun- dred passengers leaving our shores every week for, say a period of seventeen weeks, which gives an aggregate for this summer of thirty | thousand six hundred outward-bound cabin passengers. Assuming that each one of these passengers on an average spends on these European steamers and in Europe the sum of one thousand dollars, it appears that the sum total taken out of the country by our summer birds of passage ‘is thirty million six hundred thousand dollars. This we believe to be a low estimate of our losses from our summer excursionists to the British Islands, France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy; for we dare say that fifty millions would hardly cover our losses in this direction. Assuming, however, that the sum is fifty millions, it is fifty millions lost to our country, our steamboats, railroads and summer re- sorts; it is fifty millions withdrawn from all our home channels of business, to be spent upon European steamships and in European hotels, shops and places of amusement. Add this to a balance of European trade against us, this year, so far, pretty well up to a hundred millions of dollars, and the drain of our specie to Europe becomes somewhat alarming, and particularly in reference to the prospects of our summer watering places. The simple truth is that this summer travel to Europe “has increased, is increasing, and ought to be diminished,’’ But why has it increased and is still increasing? For reasons which can- not be too soon or too carefully considered by our hotel keepers at Saratoga, Newport, Long Branch and all other places concerned. A man with his family has laid by a certain sum for a summer furlough of two months. He would, in many cases, prefer Saratoga, Long Branch, Newport or the Virginia White Sulphur toa European excursion, if, in ad- dition to the superior attractions suggested by his wife and daughters of London, Paris, the Rhine, the Alps and Italy, he had not discov- ered that the trip to Europe will be a positive saving of money. But he has discovered that within two months he can go with his family from New York to England, and from England to Paris, and from Paris to the Rhine, and thence to citizens in Texas. Parsmest Taurens’ Devencr oy rum Fresen | Anmy Buw..—The President of France took part | in the debate which occurred in the Legislative | ‘Assembly yesterday. He went down to the ‘house in order to defend the Government Amny | Dill. His effort was exhaustive, ingenious and | successful. He set out with the utterance of a | solemn proclamation that France desires a long peace, and peace with all nations. The con- servatism of his preface convinced the members that the Cabinet opposition to frochu’s motion for a reduction of the term of military service did not pro- ceed from an aggressive animus, but from a desire to maintain the great engine in efficient prder and disciplinary morale—a feature which cannot be obtained under a very short term service and with continual change of the personnel. Trochu’s amendment contemplated & reduction of the term of army duty from five years—as fixed by the Executive—to three. His captandum for popularity, a most attractive bne in France, if not the most attractive, was Hefeated by a vote of 462 to 228, This fact | ppeaks well for the positive strength of the French Ministry. France is being steadily indoctrinated to a Just and beneficial appreciation of the prin- !ciple of healthy democracy, Tt assures us, also, that | the Alps and to Italy, and back, at less cost than two months’ sojourn in a first class American watering place hotel, with all its contingent expenses, escaping, at the same time, its rush and hurry, its endless clamor, noise and confusion, and its exhausting daily | and nightly routine, of dressing and fussing, | and of feeding, as on a railway limitation of ; “twenty minutes for dinner." He has dis- covered that the comforts of the Atlantic | steamers themselves are a great improvement | | on the discomforts of our watering place hotels, and that neither in England, France, Germany or Italy, is he run down or com- pelled to join a rushing crowd to secure his breakfast, dinner or supper. But granting that the average American is eminently a gre- garious creature—that he loves the rush and the excitement of a great multitude—that a summer hotel which numbers o thousand guests is far more enjoyable to him than a house with five handred, how is it that he pre- fers the quiet little English seaside lodging | house, for instance, to one of our monster hotels, which dines a thousand people? ‘The differ- | ence in the cost and the profit betwoen the | two articles will go faréo assist the inquiring student in the solution of this interesting problem. In the good old times of sailing ships and stage coaches the Southern planter, with his family, came up to Saratoga, with his family carriage and horses and negroes, as on a regu- lar summer holiday campaign; and he gathered about him at the Springs, from year to year, an extensive circle of Northern ad- mirers, themselves the recognized aristocrats of their locality. But his Northern visits of this kind began to be few and far between, with the interruptions of the slavery agitation, so that, even before the secession of South Caro- lina, he had disappeared from Saratoga, and was but a passing straggler even at Cape May. The war, however, and the rock oil discoveries in Pennsylvania, introduced into our Northern watering places a new aristocracy—an aristo- cracy of strange men and women, suddenly enriched from fat contracts for army supplies or from their overflowing fountains of petro- leum, richer in gold than the richest mines of California. These strange and astonishing people were known as the shoddy and petroleum aristocracy. They came to the Springs, the mountains and the seaside, and what with their gorgeous dressing, their stunning diamonds, their fast horses, their lovely poodle dogs, and their profuse expenditures in every way, they largely contributed to run up hotel prices from the average of two dollars to five dollars per day. Those flush times of the war, however, have long since passed away, and everywhere and in every throng we have had the reductions from time to time in prices, called for by the rising value of our national currency, excepting in the general charges of our watering place hotels. It is true that even here there have been some reductions, but they are far behind the neces- sities of the new order of things. The moral suggested for the benefit of our watering place hotels is the pruning down of their prices to the general standard of values, and such specifications for the information of travellers as will enable them in advance to come within forty or fifty per cent of the bill of tho regular provisions and ordinary contin- gencies of the sojourner for a week or a month or two at any of these hotels. Otherwise if fifty millions of money are drawn away from our shores this summer by the cheaper attrac- tions to health and pleasure seekers of the trip to Europe, our losses next year from the same causes may be enlarged to many millions more, The Last Scenes in Congress=The Folly of the Politicians. The scenes enacted in Congress in its clos- ing hours will not serve to raise the reputation of that body either for statesmanship, honesty or decency. The politicians in the Senate and House, who profess to be the supporters of the administration, are certainly taking a very extraordinary course to aid its prospects in the approaching election; and if General Grant’s strength did not rest with the people, inde- pendent of party, he would have to pray with earnestness to be protected from his friends, The country is now at peace and the South is behaving well, and only asking to be allowed to pursue her way quietly and to redeem her fallen fortunes. There is no more necessity for extending military law over the Southern States than over the New England States. But the narrow-minded Washington politicians have taken it into their heads that it may be- come fiecessary in case of Greeley’s endorse- ment by the democrats to carry the South at the point of federal bayonets, and hence they have resolved to pass what is known as the Ku Klux law—an oxtreme measure, that would give the President the power to place all the Southern States under martial law, to suspend the Habeas Corpus act and surround the polls with federal troops. Their efforts to secure the passage of the bill on its merits have repeat- edly fuiled, and so, when the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill, in which a number of per- sons are interested, and which is needed to carry on the government, was before the Sen- ate on Friday, they added on to it, as an amendment, the previously rejected Ku Klux bill. By this trick they seek to force the objec- tionable measure through, in contravention of the deliberate judgment of Congress, or by defeating the Appropriation bill to compel an extra session of Congress. ‘The opposition resolved to interpose every parliamentary ob- stacle within their reach to prevent the success of this policy, and hence for two nights a scene of disgraceful filibustering has been enacted, first in the Senate and then in the ouse, to the obstruction of necessary business and the scandal of the nation, There are two points to be considered in connection with the action of the majority— first, if General Grant could not be re-elected without the aid of martial law and bayonets in a third of the States of the Union he ought not to be elected at all; second, if he can be elected without such anti-republican means, and if the law thus pressed by the majority is not needed, then their action in endeavoring to force it through Congress in an illegitimate manner is seriously damaging to his pros- pects and a piece of inexecusable political folly. The system of “logrolling’’ by which an improper or undesirable law has sometimes been enacted through tacking it on to a necessary and just law, and thus com- pelling the passage of the two or the defeat of both, has passed into disuse. It is one of the most dangerous and infamous resorts of cor- rupt legislation. It violates the spirit if not the letter of the constitution, breaks down all protection against legislative rascality and destroys the independence of both Houses of Congress. A majority in the Senate could at any time, undersuch a policy, force an objec- tionable measure through the House or block the wheels of government, and a majority in the House could do the same in relation to the Senate. The Ku Klux law, which has been fastened on to the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill is entirely foreign to the subject of the original measure, The President of the Senate, on the occasion of the consideration of other bills, has ruled that no foreign matter can be moved as an amendment to the original question, and has been sustained by the majority of the Sen- ate. Both the presiding officer and the Sena- tors now stultify themselves by reversing their action in the instance of the Ku Klux law. They do worse than that; they prove that to accomplish a political purpose they are ready to violate their oaths and do an act they know to be in violation of the spirit of the constitu- tion and of tho rules and practice of their own General Grant is in need of no arbitrary Powors or extraordinary legislation to secure his election for another term, and the passage of the Ku Klux law would be of more harm than benefit to his cause. We have no idea that he would use it improperly or avail him- self of the dangerous powers it would place in jis hands; but thinking men all over the Union will be startled and alarmed at the passage of such a law on the eve of a Presidential elec- tion. This feeling will be intensified by the manner in which its enactment is attempted. If the stupid politicians at Washington knew anything of popular sentiment through- out the country they would be aware of these facts, and would abandon their damaging and reprehensible policy. The opposition are only a little less unwise than the majority. Their filibustering is uncalled for, and the most politic course they could pursue would be to allow the log-rolling scheme to succeed and to hold the majority responsible for such legislation. General Grant does not want the law. His superserviceable sup- porters in Congress, who desire to show special zeal in his cause, are its originators and advocates, If passed, the President would not suffer it to be used for political purposes ; yet the stigma of its enactment would attach to him. If there were any wisdom in the demo- crats and liberals in the House they would re- joice at the opportunity to give the majority all the rope they want in this matter. As it is, they are lending their aid to disgrace the country, by keep- ing up the disgraceful scenes of the last two nights in the national Capitol. It is fortunate for General Grant that his cause is in the hands of the people, and not of the politi- cians, and that he enjoys the confidence of the country on his own merits as a straitforward, honest, patriotic, inde pendent man. The party that assume to claim him as their candidate are rapidly pass- ing into contempt, and the sooner he washes his hands of their follies and corruptions the better will it be for himself and the nation. Gossip of the Religious Press. The Observer (Presbyterian) advances boldly into the subject of ‘‘ How to Get into the Min- istry,” and arrives at the conclusion that Every denomination of Christians needs two boards, societies or committees, one for foreign missions, the other for domestic. Both could be conducted under one organization, but there are advantages in having two. The domestic missions should have chat of all the agencies needful to plant, supp and sustain churches. Under their care would come the training of young men for the ministry, the support of the ministry, the planting of churches, the erection of church buildings, the care of disabled ministers and their families; and with such an agency, with power to give effect to their appointments and decisions, & competent support would be secured to all working ministers, men of faith would press into the ministry, there would be no lack of flelds for laborers, nor laborers to go into the flelds, and the Lord of the harvest is always at hand. The New York Tablet (Roman Catholic) discourses upon the death of the late Arch- duchess Sophia, of Austria, and takes occasion to say:— It 1s to be Reenuned that the great Archduchess, so strong in her affections, 80 devoted to her chil- dren, never wholly recovered the shock of the cruel murder of her favorite son Maximilian by the “pro- gresistas” of Mexico. That was the great, crushing sorrow of her life, yet she bore it like the Christian woman she was, strong in faith, perfect in resigna- tion to the Divine Will, Tried in the furnace of aMliction, faithful in the discharge of every duty, and worthy to rank with the great Christian prin- cesses of other days, this daughter of one Emperor and mother of another has passed away from earth, full of years, and crowned with the glory of a well- spent iife. While the children of Mary were every- where celebrating the sweet month of that gracious Mother the Angel of Death came ages A down on the imperial palace in Vienna and bore away to the starry throne of the Queen of Angels the puri- fled soul of one who, on an earthly throne, had loved and served her and her Divine Son. Requiescat in pace. On the subject of State religion the Tablet insists that we must cither teach some religion or no religion. It argues that there is no re- ligion in general which is no particular or con- crete religion. ‘‘But,’’ it continues, “the citizens of the United States are split up into numerous divisions on the question of religion, and all have equal rights before the State. Some want religion taught in the schools. Some would exclude it; some would have one religion taught, others another. If the State teaches any one religion it does injustice to all who reject it or demand another religion. It does injustice, if it teaches any religion, to all those who require that all religion be excluded, and only pure secularism taught. If the State excludes all religion and makes its schools purely secular, it does injustice to all those citizens who demand a religious education for their children.” The Evangelist (Presbyterian) defends the management of the House of Refuge at Ran- dall’s Island from the attacks that have been made upon it. It says: — Among the hundreds sent to the House of Refuge by the courts of the city there must be many des- perate characters, young in years, but mature in depravity. Any ftterferencé from withont—like slanderous charges against the management of the institution—that tends to prejudice its authority and discipline, is simply an encouragement to tur- bulence and disorder, and it is Known at once to all the inmates of the institution. A task, dificult at the best, is thus rendered vastly more ditlicult, if not next to impossible, The Evangelist, taking a little more enlarged view of the case, submits that The idea of subordinating such an institution to a sectarian policy is simply preposterous. It orig- inated ina broad Christian philanthropy, and its fruits are its best vindication. Among its patrons and managers have been some of the wisest and best men in this city, who have labored gratuitously in a cause vital to the interests of civil justice as well as criminal reform. We have no doubt that every possible effort will be made to transfer the institution from its present management, but we are very much mistaken if, when all the facts are known, the originators of these assaults are not covered with shame and confusion, and the con- fidence of the community in the management of the House of Refuge made stronger than ever, The Jewish Times (Hebrew) announces that the “Feast of Weeks’’ will take place on Wednesday next. “Originally a festival of thanksgiving for the abundance of harvest, which lasted seven weeks and closed at this time, and, therefore, also called ‘the first of firstlings,’ it hag Tost its original biblical character, but is now enhanced by being stamped as the memorial day of the revelation on Sinai, This higher character makes it one of unusual significance and solemnity; it be- comes the birthday of Israel's spiritual mis- sion, and, as such, has been selected as the day most fitted for the formal introduction of Jewish youth who have attained that age at which they may become conscient members of the religious community, agents responsible for their acts to their God, their fellow beings and their conscience."’ The general tone of our religious ox- changes exhibits a very gracious work of re- vival in all sections. ‘Let the good work go on. Tue Crrv or Jeppo, Japan, was visited by a most extensive and alarming fire on the 38d of April, We are informed by mail report that two squaré miles of the town wore laid waste, thirty thousand persons rendered house- less, and two hundred and fifty persons killed. The visitation oauagd severe distress among the survivors. ” . i a i i a ala anil a aaa | The Labor Movement=Its Development end Future Direction—Tendemcy to Violence Checked, ‘The advice tendered by the press to the men engaged in the eight-hour movement has not been without effect, and the tendency to vio- lence which had begun to manifest itself seems to have completely died away. It is well that it is s0, for no more fatal course could be adopted by the workingmen than to act in de- fiance of the law. As we have pointed out to them from the beginning, the success or non- success of the present movement must in great part depend on the direction of public opinion, and whatever is calculated to alienate the sym. pathy of the classes not directly concerned in the conflict between labor and capital ought carefully to be avoided by the ad- vocates of the rights of labor. It is easy to create prejudice in the public mind against men engaged in any form of agitation, and the spirit of conservatism is always ar- rayed against those who threaten to enforce their views by violent measures. We are glad for the sake of the workingmen that the signs of riot, which were very rife a few days ago, have almost entirely disappeared. The accep- tance of the eight-hour principle by the gas companies relieves the city from all danger of being plunged into darkness, and we must commend the excellent feeling displayed both by the men and by the agents of the compa- nies. We have no doubt that if the same wise discretion were exhibited by the employers and employed in other branches of industry a peaceful and early solution of the difficulty would be found best for the interests of all concerned. Notwithstanding the firm attitude of some of the employers the men show no sign of giving in; on the contrary, a dogged spirit of resistance is becoming manifest which prom- ises to carry resistance to the extreme point. In view of the extension of the move- ment to other important manufacturing cen- tres the capitalists will find a great difficulty in procuring substitutes for the men they are locking out. It is not at all clear that they will not lose more in the end by resisting 4 outrance than they would by a timely accept- ance of the eight-hour arrangement. The workingmen argue with much force that they simply desire that the law of the land should be put in force, and that itis the employers who seek to evade the law. However, the question must be finally decided by the perse- verance and powers of resistance of the par- ties rather than by any abstract right that may be involved. If the workingmen hold to- gether loyally it is difficult to see how a por- tion of the employers can refuse to accept the proffered terms, while others in the samo trade are carrying on business, and so absorbing the trade. The injury inflicted on the trade of the city cannot fail to be sensibly’ felt, but we think it isa mistake to imagine that all the loss will eventually fall on the working classes. They may suffer most, but the loss will be pretty equally dis- tributed. It is, therefore, clearly the interest of all parties to come to some arrangement without more loss of time, as the uncertainty at present existing is paralyzing business. The threatened strike of the car drivers would inflict serious inconvenience on the general public if carried out, and wo hope the companies will be able to come to some arrange- ment with their men which will render a strike unnecessary. Certainly there is no class of em- ployés who have more claim to consideration. The length of their hours of duty, as at pres- ent enforced, constitutes a real grievance, and is the principal cause of many accidents; for men worn out with long hours of labor cannot efficiently discharge their duty. On Monday the car drivers will cast their fortunes in with the army of labor, and unless the companies make some compromise the New York public will be compelled to take pedes- trian exercise toan unusual extent. In this particular case the right is so clearly on the side of the strikers that we cannot but express a hope that the companies will avert incon- venience to the public by making some com- promise with their employés. moral effect, the army of labor will have a grand parade on Monday, with the object of cheering the hearts of the wavering and prov- ing to the public that the vast body of the working classes are in favor of the adoption of the eight-hour principle. is respected, and no violent attack is made on the rights of those who differ from them, there can be no objec- tion to the workingmen parading and display- ing their strength. But we must urge upon the leaders the necessity of impressing on the minds of their followers that ‘the man who commits a crime is their enemy.’’ The impor- tance of the uprising of labor is not sufficiently understood. ‘The movement pervades the civilized world, and the working masses have evidently made up their minds never to cease their efforts until they have placed themselves in a better position in relation to the capital- ist than they at present occupy. Year by year this idea has gathered strength, and as the intelligence of the workingmen enables them to combine effectively there can be no doubt as to the final issue, however much suffering may have to be endured before the end is reached, The New Tax on Small Dealers in Leaf Tobacco. The Tariff and Tax law finally passed by Congress contains many unwise and unjust provisions. Such a law is peculiarly open to errors of legislation, and it would be singnlar should it be found free from objection when carefully examined after enactment. One of its provisions peculiarly open to objection is that which exacts from retail dealers in leaf tobacco a tax of five hundred dollars annually as a license fee, and obliges them besides to pay to the government one-half the amount of their sales over one thousand dollars in a single year. This of course was intended to destroy the retail trade in leaf tobacco, and it does so just as effectually as if it had made it a penal offence punishable by heavy fine and imprisonment, It absolutely pre- vents any person from selling, and hence | any person from buying leaf tobacco in quan- tities Jess than a hogshead at @ time.

Mr. Jacob Cohen calledthe meeting to order, and in doing so remarked that the great journalist of the United States, our friend James Gordon Bennett, was no more. It had pleased the Almighty to call him to his last resting place. They were there assembled as Israelites to express their Sympathy and acknowledge the many kind deeds which Mr. James Gordon Bennett had performed toward their creed. The columns of the HERALD were always open for the advancement of man- kind, and Mr. Bennett fostered that religion whicht was supreme of all—Love thy neighbor as thy- self... He had known Mr. Bennett personally, and he could say that in knowledge, actions, sociability and hospitality he found him superior to any one with whom he had had the honor to meet. He really could find no words of praise to do justice to James Gordon Bennett, but he trusted that the soul of the deceased would live in heaven as his name still lived on this earth. Mr. Cohen then moved that Mr. D. Heller, the president of the congregation, act as chairman, and Mr. Nordheim, seer of the congregation, as secretary of the meeting, which was unanimously car- ried. Mr. Heller on taking the chair said he was much leased to see the Israelites taking an active part in_acknowlepging the aed good actions which James Gordon Bennett had done toward Israelites through the columns of the HERALD. He had fall confidence in the statement of Mr. Cohen and sym- pathized with the family of the deceased and felt that this country as well as the whole world had lost @ great man, whose pen was might and strength. He hoped that his soul would rest im peace. A speech was made by H. Steinert, who elo- quently eulogized the greatness of James ¢ordon Bennett and the the liberality shown by him ward Israelites. H. Herzberg, A. Mauheimer, Joseph Friedman and M. H. Levy followed in the same strain. The following preamble and resolutions, projosed by Mr. Cohen, were then read and unanimously adopted :— Whereas it has pleased the Almighty in His divine (row. idence to remove from our midst James Gordon Jems Rott, the most eminent Journalist of the United Stites; ‘Resolved, That we regret the death of James Bennett, and that in him the Israelites generally hadag honest supporter and a true friend, and that the New Your Hxnato, of which James Gordon Benpett was te founder, editor and proprietor, always gave frm and tae support to our creed.

On returning to the city Mr. Gree- ley betook himself to the house of Mr. Waldo Hutchins, where he passed the night. THE WEATHER, * WAR DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF THR CHIEF SIGNAL OFFICER, Wastinorton, D.
