THE PRESIDENCY. The Candidates from the City and ; State of New York. . Interesting Interview with Ex-Governor Morgan. ATTITUDE OF THE LIBERALS. Bome Inside and Bottom Facts of the Problem. Arepresentative of the MmRALD has been en- gaged for some weeks past in unravelling the notty Presidential problem which is exciting the parnest attention of thoughtial men in all quar- ters of the Union, In performing this task he has had frequent conversations with Presidential can- @idates, intimate reiations with political man- agers, and an extensive correspondence with dhose who are all powerful, but unseen py the masses, In order to set Jorward the exact status of the parties, to fully appreciate the strength of $he foating vote polled by the inaependent voters, and to measure the strength of ine many aspires ants for the White House, it 1s well to inquire how dar conviction—thatis, positive political dogmas— ‘s influencing the public men of the country. The HERALD representative has found that such @n influence as positive conviction on any vital question does not sway the great majority of Presidential candidates, And this is Mbout tue status of ail of them, of Whatever party they may be champions. ,_. THE AVERAGE POLITICAL CREED. The Union bas passed through tiree stages wherein parties have been shaped by doctrinal issues. First, there were the early days in the formation of the government, when partisan bit- Serness and unparalleied rancor grew out of the question of federalism and anti-federalism, This \ssue, assuming a variety of shapes and forms, Decame lost in the sccoud great public question, slavery and anti-slavery, which has just passed of tue stage as an element of controversy, teay- {ng but one question behind—the purity of the office holder the necessity of sweeping relorms in any departments of the public service. Hardly pne of the gentiemen who, wish the nomination for the Presidency, of whatever party, deny that this 1s the one issue which must be written in cospic- uous characiers upon the party banners. lt would thereiere seem thatno grand platform ts neces- aary; but one Word, and that honesty, ia the sub- stance of the political creeds. Surewd and obsery- Ing statesmen say that there may be tariff pianks, financial planks and conciliatory planks for the bouth in either platform, but that the great battle Will be fought for reform, either party demanding votes under that watchword. They say no man can succeed either in obtaining a nomination or “afterward an election py being deceived by tho idea that be must have explicit views on dnance or free trade, They can never, it is urged, become fardinal questions, for ofany times ana oft has the attempt becn made to thrust these issues on the country witnout the slightest chance of suc- cess. ‘The truth is,” said a@ well known states- man the other day, “ihe people cannot and do not understand these qu2stions, The men who discuss them during the campaign before audiences Waste their preavh and leave no tmpression on Sheir auditors, There are not, in fact, ten men in America who understand what finance or free trade means. Both of the questions involve an experience, a breadth of view, a special etiaca- ilon, a quick eye to detect changes in tae Old World and profound knowiedge of financial his- Jory, which few Americans have. The man who ‘s dogmatic on either fluance or free trade you tan set down for a fool or a charlatan. Each question must be treated according to public exi- gencies and can never be disposed of by the flat of ® convention.” So that, in effect, the HeRaLp representative found the candidates unwilling to commit themselves on these topics. Whav was most singular in all of tueirstarements was this Each and every ofte of them drmly believes ‘hat the man and not the party will command the support of the masses. Indeed, BO One could Nave failed to notice tis who has Watched the course of Pierrepont, Tilden and Bristow, who, at the risk of arraying againat them. selves powerful rings, have been working for “reform” popularity for future use in the conyen- tions, THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE NOMINATION from ¢itner convention, as deduced by the HERALD | representative irom bis humerous conversations, are:— First—The candidate most de possessed of char- e@cceristics which will Inspire the respect and confidence of the masse: Second—He must stand committed to no dog- ‘matic utterances of faith on finance or free trade, Third—He must not inaulge in “war talk,’ but be iaydtable to @ conelilation of the South and a restoration Of tue country to a periest political wyourth—He must bave a clean record, « HOW PRESIDENTS ARE MADE. Before examining the claims of the different | candidates it ls well to inquire how Presidents are made, They generally start themselves for the | course by confiding to @ few influential friends | their wishes on the subject. Then they count up wll their elements of strengto, make their com- Dinations, aud the rest Gepends upon two coudi- tionx—brainus and money.

Upon the subject of bls ow candidature Governor Morgan did not say much.

GOVERNOR MORGAN AS CONSIDERED BY AN ASTUTE POLITICIAN. Several days alter tae above conversation the HERALD representative bad o very lengthy and confidential talk with @ leading and infuential polttician tu relation to Governor Morgan and other caudidates, He said that he had no objec- {lon to the publication of his views, provided his name was withheld and that be could have the privilege of revising what the writer “ might make him say.” These conditions were agreed to, and the jollowing ts the conversation without the interrogatories :— “Lregard tne naming of Governor Morgan for the Presiagency a8 a peculiarly nappy event for tas city and Stal He belongs to a senooi of statesmen very rare im this country—being rather of the ligh-toned erade and personal qualities of men like Giadstone and Lord Granville. if Gov- ernor Morgan were Prestdeat it would be the best thing that eould happem to this community. His iife frem early boyhood, his spiendid career a8 & public man, the loity manner in whieh he exercised the functions of the Governor of the State; his eareer as a Senator— indeed in all of bis pubiie and private life, Gov- ernor Morgan has never committed a singie act of folly, Take ap the other men! Cun you say as much for them. The dest known of them even has Dot @ record like Governor Morgan’s.

The noniination of right belongs to New LT a because we have not had one for y; Fremont, Linculn aud Grant aould satisiy the West.” THE LIBERALS. The HERALD representative then had conversa. tious with tae. leading liberals, They were un- Willing to say whether or not they would unite with the repubitcans. . They all seem to ve waiting betore leaping. Wilson, of Massachusetia has Made overtures to the liberals, Lut they are wary 2nd cautious, not wiiing to commit themselves to the democrats, distrustiul of the repuolicans, THE OUTSIDE TALK, Conversation at the clubs, among the leading business men, and at large among republicans is very largely im favor of Governor Morgan, and it may LOW be Said, te be lairly started on the /resi- deutiai course, The general sentiment seems to be that Tiidea among the democrats and Morgan among the republicans represems the better aspira- tions of the American people. NO SOUTHERN MAN ON THE NATIONAL TICKET, {From the Richmond Whig, July 29.) We have seen several indications of a dispo- sition in some quarters to bring forward the mame of some Southern man of well-known national feeling in connection with the nomina- tion for the Vice Presidency. It should be under- stood at once all over the country, gnd especially throughout the North, East and West, that the democrats and conservatives of the South have no suck desire, and we, think We muy saiely that in tne event olsack a movement inthe National Con- veuuon they would expect thelr delegates to meet 1t With earnest remonstrance and united resist- ance. ‘the time kas not yet arrived when any Man of the South who was in sympathy with the Conlederate cause could be prudently brougnt be. Jore toe country for Presidens or Vice President. And no man who was not in of the Southern sentiment and spirit of reconcilia- tion, Such men as Kansom and Gordon and Lamar are of inestimable value to the South in ‘the Senate of the United States and in the House of Representauves; but it would be otkerwise with either Of tuem as a candidate for the frat or the second Office of the government, The day wiil come when the South may salely enter the lisis for the highest political prizes as she did in otmer days, but it has not come yet. And our Nortnern iriends must not be toe impations to testify their feelings Of Iraternity by $o Dold & demonstration. THE LATE SENATOR ANDREW JOHN- SON'S SUCCESSOR. The death of Senator Androw Johnson leavesa Vacant seat in the Seaate chamber to be filled temporarily by appointment irom the Governor of Tennessee, ano then by the Legislature. Sena- tor Johnson’s term would have expired Marca 4, 1881, The federal constitation proviaes that ‘44 vacancies happen, by resignation or otherwise, during the recess of the Legtsiature of any State, she Execative tuereol may make temporary ap- pointments until the next meeting of the Legis- ture, woich shali then fill suck vacancies.” In Tennessee the Legislature meets biennially.

Yet we know that Governor Tiiden is the custodian of the public interests and charged | With the administration of the law. We know that John Morrissey is an avowed and conspicuous law-breaker, How, then, can we reconcile the in- timacy that exists between the Governor of the State and this breaker of the laws wit the duty which Governor Tilden owes society?

Now, 1 don’t want to doubt Morrissey’s word, I know the strength of bis arm too well for that. Bat he can’t pat off the “witnesses” part of the stery onme.

Mr. Green ts friendly to the Governor, aaa claims credit for him for his alleged rebuke of Mayor Wickham’s proposition to get rid ofa disagreeable official, But Mr. Green forgets that the Governor would be serlousiy damaged in the eyes of all reputable citizens MW the story that he made a confidential Iriend of @ gambiing house-keeper and ex-prize fighter should be believed. For mnyself, 1 cannot Credit that the “Governor would hob-nob with Joun Morrissey, and trust him with his secrets. To use @ man of Morrissey’s antecedents and present pursuits for political purposes may ia some eyes be pardenable. To take such a person to bis bosom, counsel with him and confide in nim, wonid certainly be unworthy of the Governor of the Empire State. TRUE REFORM, POLITICAL NOTES.

LONG BRANCH, August 2, 1875. How tme fies! How swiftly glides away the Sammer season by the sea! 1 seems but yester- day that we were looking dows upon this ice- bound coast of Jersey and thinking of the long and weary months that must intervene vefore the return of the golden summer, and lo! here it is two-thirds gone and butone montn of the sea- son is suill before us, We have passed througan July, and the season down bere has been 80 back- ward that we can Rardly realize how rapidly we have been going forward. From a pleasing fiction widely adopted itis understood that the fashion- able run in the country begins early tn Jane and ends about the lst of October, In realty, to our summer earavansaries she season begins with July, and with the Might of our law ana order iov- ing people from tne city to escape the gunpowder Plots and pyrotechuical nuisances therein of the “glorious Fourth,” and during the last week of August and tne first week of September there is a general rush qack to town. Whas, then, are these HOVEL REPORTS FOR JULY. In the aggregate thetr recetpts fall considerably short of their expenditures, From the «eneral turnout of carriages ts the regular late ih the afternoon drive, a stranger might suppose that there is a larger proportion of wealthy visitors here than can be found at any other fashionable headquarters in the couatry. Bat most of these Garriages belong te the cottagérs, and the num- bers that come from the hotels are pot what they used to. be, And the proportion of sunstantial guests for the season at the hotefs ts correspona- ingly diminished, whe the proportion of uncer- tain transient visitors is greatly increased. VISITORS FOR A FEW DAYS ONLY theycome and they go; but stilt the reports of | the city baggage smashers are that the piles of trunks going down by the Long Branch boats are much longer than the piles coming up. But the reports of the hackmen here are discouraging. ‘They insist that the PRESSURE OF THE HARD TIMES is still very heavy upon all those classes of men Who are the life of tue watering places, men who, When they huve money, spend {t freely. But those men come here now short, and they don’t Tide round as they used to do, and weat every- body at the bar, and play biillards most of the night and take the ladies out to Pleasure Bay {or luncnes of Shrewsbury oysters, soft crabs and terrapins in the sheil. In these things and other extras there are not ten dollgry spent where thera used to be a hundred bofore tue panic. And there 1s, said an experienced Boniface to-day, NO USE TALKING OF a RUSH this season, We are pretty well filled, and we can see irom our books for July that eur “rusn’? for August will not fill the piazzas with cots for our surplus visitors. And we know, too, that while money 18 4 drug in the New York market the general run of pleasure seekers are not fusn, and they cut us down, particularly in our profits of the bar and wine cellar, Tis 1s, my aear sir, 4 GOOD SEASON FOR THE GLORIOUS TEMPERANCE 3B. There never before this Was anything like tr— never Knew such close prauing down of exiras since the first battle of Bull Run; and the worst Of Lis that we have to exhaust tle resources of the Jand and Water (o supply our tables, the same as in those good old times when we fairly coined money at the bar. Where we have now ball a ,dozen bottles of chamvagne at our regular dinner we have had heretuiore a hundred. And so it goes, Ourexpenses are kept up, bub our income is cut down io every Way. A rainy day drives people off by the score, and if we have a reguiar storm toward the end of August we are run aground, for that ends the season. We inier from these facts that the hotel men at Long Branch do not expect to Make much money this season; and if such 18 the case at this, the mosy prosperous of all our summer resorts, we Know vy the same token that the rest of them will not realize this year the lortunes they had expecied. FROM THE SAST END TO THB WEST END. In reconnoitring thts tong line of hotels we sec that they are all well filled and that most of them had to bring out their cots on the inst day of July for their Saturday evening “rush,” and yet they gre not fourisuing, for the reasons assigned. bat they say that August, If reasonably Rot and dry, particulary at tue close, will pay handsomely. ‘They are going to have another Season of races and some miliary encampments, and a pro- | gramme of fancy dress bails, aud various other atiractions that will bring to THOUSANDS OF VISITO! and create a real Old time sensation, making even “old Jogies” forget the coilapse of Duncan, Suer- maa & Co., aud join in tae dance.

General jrant and the Long Branchers toroughly under- stand each other, and he can go when and where he chooses and do what he likes without anaoy- ance. For a day or twe last week he.was chiely engaged in cousuitations with bis special Boara of indian Commissioners ON ENDIAN APPAIRS, and the result, in the report of tne Commisston- | ers, 18 aS neat a bit of waitewasiing as tue indian agents generally could desire. {f these Commis- have not been humbugged themselves vy Indian agenis and centracter hey have pulled the wool very bandsomely over the eyes of His Excellency, acd oe will Gad it out, not, pernaps, before the meeting of the democratic House of Representatives in December. 1 is said, how- ever, tnat General Grant entertains A HIGH OPINION OP PROFESSOR MARSH, and that he shakes his head when told thas the indian Bureau is all rignt, and that Professor Marsb’s charges of frauds committed againss tae Red Cloud and spotted Tail, and of disappointed contractors. But if any member of Congress wishes to be snubbed let him ask our reticent President if it ig true that Delano has been re- quested to resign. GENERAL GRANT IS SUNBURNT awiully this summer.
