LONG BRANCH! The Seaside Politicians of the Old and New Schools. DEMOCRATS £ND REPUBLICANS Cottage Snobbery and Cor- ner Groceries. BOLDNESS OF THE THIRD TEBMISTS. | Tilden and the Governor- ship. Lona Branos, August 13, 1874. To any one who has been familiar with Long Branch in its political aspect tor the past fifteen years, !t is amusing and suggestive to note the changes that have taken place during that period in the character of the people who have from time to time studied the political horoscope and cast the fortune of some new born scheme within the sound of thé waves that wash this part of the Jer- sey coast. Looking back about that number of years we recall the days when the tall figure of Fernando Wood was to be seen loitering on the sands or strolling leisurely along the cliff prome- nade, his famous mustache curling over nis lip like the white cap of a distant wave. Be sure the person who walked at his side was elther receiv- ing instructions as to the details of some pre- arranged wire-working in his ward or drinking in Political wisdom trom Fernando's point of view. Names prominent in democratic national politics were occasionally to be seen on the registers of hotels that flourished at the Branch in those days, but are known here no _ longer, and .not unfrequently Jeff. Davis, Brecken- ridge, Mason, Slidell and others whose records have been marred by subsequent events, made Pligrimages to the then quiet watering place for the purpose of consultation with the leaders of the the New York democracy. Who does not remem- ber the time when John Clancy was a shining lignt in the Branch ball rooms and the political re- anions, and when his army of roisterers was ac- eustomed, season after season, to pitch its tents, Siguratively, in the long building in the rear of tne Mansion House, where the orgies of the troops could disturb only their own heads and stomachs, nd where poker and punch might be enjoyed without iimit or scandal? Later on when Sweeny planted, all the smalier Tammany politi- olans watered and the ‘‘Boss” and his associates gathered the harvest there was a change in the personnel.at the Branch. Those were the money- making days of the old Mansion, the headquarters of the wire-workers and the lodge of the “Lazy Club.” The “ring” and its satellites were good customers, for money was easy and politics a pay- ing business. From Hoffman down to the “big Judge” (Connolly) nearly ali the little great men ‘who flourished under the last democratic régime were made at Long Branch. Many will remember the season when “‘Mike,’’ having show much out- side strength, was seduced down to the Branch to bargain for iis plum, and when his earnest desire to secure a “local habitation and a bed" at zhe Orthodox Hotel induced him to accept the only ac_ commodation at tne landlord’s disposal—a cot. In -the morning the big Juage was discovered by his | friends or the chambermaid ina lethargic state | NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1874—TRIPLE SHEET, Washington for nearly one-third of the year. bin) Of course, atiracts the government officials as well a8 tne ollice-veekers, and calls to the Jersey coast every person who may happen to have ness with (he President. Just now nearly every re- puolican politician ope meets here is or proiesses to bea tira term mar. A gentleman who has, within the past three or four days, been tn personal communication with the heads ot the movement declares that the revomination of President Grant by the next republican convention caupot now be prevented. ‘The President himself, he says, is almost prepared to show his hand boldly, and his immediate counsellors and counfidants scarcely affect the disguise they assuined @ year ago. Here- tofore the President, when questioned on the sub- Ject, has retired behind the plea that the iast ele: tio has not long passed, and itis not time to d cuss or think about the succession. ‘That is a ma! ter to which he has not given and does not destre to give any attention. As the master speaks, is the old saying, so speaks the lackey, end the small oliticians Who hang to she Presidential skirts fave re-echoed the sentiments of their master with the fidelity of parrots. Poor Babcock, the oor successor Of poor Rawlings, bas learned the lesson by heart and is said to frequently repeat it in his sleep. “Now, however,” says the intormant above alluded to in his own words, ‘they begin to feel sulid ground beneath their feet, and as soon as they are convinced of its solidity their marcn will be ag bold as their steps have hitherto been hesi- tating and uncertain.” They have counted much on the accession of Senator Fenton to the admin- istranon rapks and to the third term policy, and what has bothered some of them for a day or two past has been the game of the New York liberal republicans in calling their State Convention at so early a day. WHAT DOES JOHN COOHRANE MEAN? There are various speculations among the sea- side politicians as to the meaning of tus action. Some insist that it is all right; that the liberais are to get together and nominate Governor Dix as @ means of smoothing the way for a union with the administration republicans when tne proper time arrives, the liberals, a8 the weaker party. and the more in need of Cy @ preatige, being allowed to present Governor Dix to the administration con- vebtion as their candidate. These theorists de- clare that the story of the intended compromise with Fenton is strictly correct; but insist that Fenton was never promised the nomination for Governor in this election. His price was to be a one-half share in the federal patronage in New York State aud the nomination for Vice President on the ticket with Grant in 1876. Dix, they say, is to have the Governorship, as, in case of his deieat by tie democracy, the republicans will claim that Dix was not a republican, and it was only a fight bevween two democrats, while, in case of his success, he will be out of the way for the United States Senate. ‘The successor of Fenton, accord- ing to this (gad te tO be satisiactory to the retiring Senator, but a pledged third termer, the necessity of having @ united representation from New York in the United States Senate in favor of President Grant's renomination being conceded. It 18 sald that Jobn Cochrane 1s entirely in the von- fidence of Fenton in this arrangement, and that hus call for an early liberal State Convention ts & art of the established programme. On the other Rana, & well informed republican affirms to-day that the negotiation between the administration and Senator Fenton halts in consequence of the latter’s imperative demand, for his own security, that a change shall be made in the New York Ous- tom House and a friend of his own appointed in jace of the present Collector. The President Pesitates, says this authority, and yohn Cochrase calis ao early convention in order to force the ame, i THE PRESIDENT ON THE COMPROMISE. In the midst of ali these rumors it 1s certain that the President himself insists positively on we urgent necessity of 8 compromise with Senator Fenton before the approaching election in New York. No one accuses Grant of being & states- man; yet he has a@ natural shrewdness which makes him sometimes a better poll- ticlan than any of his advisers, and when he gets a notion into his head it ts very hard to drive it out, He knows, too, that in this Fenton Matter his advisers are Dot wholly disinterested. A union with the liberal party in New York means substantially the dividing up of the federal patron- age with a bold and hungry set of partners. it means letting in Fenton and bis ravens to least on & carcass Dow literally covered with administra- tion biras of prey. This will, of course, leave less meat for the administration birds, Understanding all tuis, President Grant looks to nis own interests and will not suffer them to be sacrificed to tie greediness of bis present iriends. He says that the result of the November election in New York State is at the best doubtful; that a democratic victory now may be followed by the election of a democratic United States Senator or by Fenton's re-election; that next year will be what is called an “off year,’’ when the democrats, if successitt next November, ‘Will probably again succeed; that the loss of New York State would so alarm and weaken the republican party as to render the defeat of the third term movement at least highly probable, Under these circumstances he is eager lor the consumwmation of the bargain with the lib- CREEDMOOR. The Seventh Regiment at Ball Practice Yesterday—A Large Turn Out and a Pleasant Time. The Seventh regiment, N. G., Colonel Clark commanding, went to the Creedmoor ranges yes terday for ball practice, There were 380 officers and enlisted men who shot at the 200 yards butts, of whom 143 succeeded in making the required number of points to go oack to the 600 yards range. Shvoting commenced a tittle before ten o'clock. A rest of an hour was had in the middle of the day, during which numbers of the men amused them- selves by playing base ball. All the scores were home on the 4:42 P. M. train. AB everybody expected, the conduct of officers and men was unexceptionable. It was remarked, however, that the corps seemed to look upon the |.affair as an exceedingly good day’s amusement rather than as an important military duty. As no guards of kind were mounted, and apparentiy Rot the slightest precaution taken against sur- prise, the entire natty Seventh might have been captured oa tale tt | @ll over the grounds as they were—by a watchful and bold enemy, who could have swept cown on @ flank or tn their rear, before it would have been possible to reach their arms. In the absence Ol any guard or other military precaution the whole number of untiormed men on the ground might be considered in the light of a set Of jolly good fellows out for @ day’s sport. ‘There was not even a sentinel in front of the col- ors, 80 that any audacious little street Arab who followed the men in hopes of giving or getting “‘a shine’ might have captured the banner of the far- famed Seventh and have stood a pretty good chance of escaping through the bushes with it, provided he were reasonably quick of foot.

A Finely Contested Amateur Match. The first match this season between the well known Arlington club nine, of this city, and the “crack” veam of the Nameless club, of Brooklyn, took place yesterday afternoon on the Union Grounds, Brooklyn, in the presence of a numerous assemblage Of spectators, and it proved to be a well played game and a close and interest- ing contest, the result being a credit- able victory for the Nameless nine by a Score of 9 to 5 of scored runs and 1 to 0 of earned runs. The game opened in favor of the Nameless club by @ score of 2 to 1, but owing to errors at second base the Ariingtons managed to get even in the third inning, and so well was the effective pitening suppor:ed on both sides by the fielders that the fiftn inning ended with the score at2 to2 only. Some loose play on both sides, in which Hayes and Cox took part, led to each club adding three runs to its score, leaving the totalsat 5to5, Afterwards the Nameless nine added four runs to tneir score—one earned only—and handsomely disposing of their opponents for blanks in suc- cession they came in victors. Some very sharp fielding was exhibited by Brasher and Nichols, and the outfielding was very good, as also the first base play and the catching. The pitching, too, was up to the best standard, as the score of earned finished by four o’clock, and the regiment returned | Mgent Females, on Atlantic avenve, will go on an excursion over the Canarsie and Rockaway Beach Raiiroad on Tuesday next, upon invitacion of the proprietor of that line.

Before Recorder Hackett. ‘The August term of this Court was brought toa close yesterday. Although the Court was in ses- ston only two weeks, the Recorder, who was eff- ciently aided by Assistant District Attorney Allen, disposed of a very large number of cases, the sta- tistics showing a good month’s work. about 125 prisoners disposed ol, including the cases dismissed by the Grand Jur; Burglaries and Larcenies. Henry Rice, who was charged with burglariously entering the apartments of Susan Rosenthal, No. 105 avenue A, and stealing $6 worth of ribbons, Pleaded guilty to an attempt at burglary in the third degree. Frank Taylor, against whom were two charges, Pleaded guilty to an attempt at grand larceny. On the first of this month he stole a diamond pin worth $96 from Charles Gerlach, Joun Lamb, indicted for stealing on the 7th inst. three pieces o1 silk valued at $400, the property of Patrick N. Clarke, pleaded guilty to an attempt to commit that offence. James Kelly pleaded guilty to an attempt at burglary in the tuird degree, he having, on the night of the 8th inst., broke into the liquor store kept by John Reilly, No. 2,062 Third avenue. James Harford, who on the 31st of July stole wearing apparel and jewelry worth $50 and $16 in money, belonging \o James Harris, pleaded guilty W an attempt to commit that crime, These prisoners were each sent to the State There were | $ hts own but was restrained by his counsel. The witnesses examined were Oscar A. Burton, of Bur- lungton, Vt., the col inant avd J. Anderson, cashier of the Harlem River Bank. Burton's testimony embraced substantially yn 2 statements :—That on the 30th of June his dwel ing at Burltugton was entered and @ box therein contained broken open and robbed, among other talogs, of twenty-five stiares of Harlem Bank stock; that he had no trace or knowledge ot the said shares until within a (ew days ago, when he learned they were in the market for sale, Detec- tives Farley, of the New York Central Office, and Lei { San Francisco, had, by many ingenious devices, ascertained this fact. fhe result was the arrest of the ¢elendants in tae Case and their ar- | Taignment in Court yesterday.

Dominico Guiviro and Nicola Yanensi were room mates in @ tenement house at No, 35 aful- berry atreet. Two months ago Domtnico informed Nicola that he was about starting tor Philadelphia, where he expected to get work, and that in case of any proviaential visitation whereby bis sub- lunary existence might be cnt short he had $300 in the Bleecker Street Bank, which he wished to have sent to his mother in Italy.

The men who were to be met along the shore then were decidedly of a vulgar type—coarse, unpolished, and, in the main, iliiterate. They did not assume any airs, however, but acknowledged themselves for what they were, and relied upon their money for their position, Catch them wearing colored kids! The {| only gloves they cared about were boxing gloves. | Imagine them putting on the airs of a codfisn | aristocracy, dressing up servants in gaudy liveries and cockades, assuming a draw! to hide a brogue and turning their backs upon brothers and cousins who unfortunately might be still com- pelled to carry the hod, “Nothing of the sort,” as the ola iady says in “Our American Cousin.’”’ They were tuo manly for that, any way, and did nat assume to pass themselves oif for what they were mot ana could never be, In that they were alto gether different to the Long Branch politicians of | the present day, and in the diference many peo- ple will velleve that the vid set have the ad- ‘vantage. TU’ NEW SCHOOL OF BRANCH POLITICIANS, The politiciaua we meet at the Branch to- day are not dissimilar to the politicians we met here ten years ago, except as to the airs they as- sume and the life tiey lead. Democratic and repubii- can politicians always have differed in appearance and probably always will. Democracy pone ato. its ranks the hard fisted and unwashed. pub- them while we can tney will go to the democracy, and we shail lose the State. A OURT REPLY, The President is not, however, at present dis- posed to break the silence he has hitherto pre- served. His friends may talk a little more boldly, Dut be holds his own utterances in reserve, so tur as the outside world is concerned. A day or two ago an adventurous Bohemian, incited by the in- formation contained in @ jormer Long Branch letter to hope that the time had come when the Presidential iips.might unclose, worked his way to the Presidential presence, and boldly plunged into re subject, ‘the following conversation took Jace :— _ BOHEMIAN—President Grant, I wish to ask you if you are @ candidate jor a third term ? ‘Yhe PRESIDENT (coldly)—I have nothing to gay on the subject.
