WATERING PLACE POLITICS. Ex-Governor Hoffman on the Present Political Situation. “When We Give Up Our Hard Money Prineiple We Have Neither Apostles Nor Creed Left.” ‘SOUTHERN POLITICIANS AT LONG BRANCH. ‘Mhe Controlling Power of the South and West in the Democratic Convention, Sanatooa, August 14, 1875, Ex-Governor John T. Hoffman, who is stopping with his family at the United States Hotel, has given your <correspondent some interesting views on the present political situation, What he says about the relation of ‘the democratic party to inflation will be a loud and ringing note of warning to some of his Western fellow democrats, Rerorrer—I see, Governor, you have lately said you had retired virtually from active political hfe, but the New York Heraup wishes you to answer a few ques- tions if you.have no objection. May 1 have afew min- sutes with you? Govennon—Cortainly; Ihave said lately that I have retired from active connection with public matters. ‘Without professing too much, I may add that service for two terms as Recorder and two terms as Mayor of the city-of New York and two terms as Governor of tho State is an experience which leaves meno very strong desire ever again to give up the independence of ‘private life. Yot, in return for the honors bestowed on ‘me by the democratic party, I owe to it my best service and counsel, though the latter inay not be heoded or needed, What docs the Henan wish to ask? Rerorrer—What do you think of the probable result -9f the Ohio election? : THE ISSUB IN Om. Governon—There is an old saying, the wisdom of which every man’s experience shows him, that “you should never prophesy unless you know.” Ido not ‘know much about Ohio, Careful observers there tell me that Allen will be elected, not because of, but in spite of, the financial pletform. ‘The people believe he is honest and able, and hard money men and paper money men alike will vote for him for that reason, and becaugo also they want to express their disapproval of the present national administration, which they hold responsible for all the evils, financial and otherwise, from which the ‘country is now suffering, The prospect seems to be that he will be elected by a decided majority. Itmay be there are secret influences at work which may defeat him, but from all I hear they are not powerful enough ‘to do that, Rerorter—Will not a democratic victory in Ohio be ‘what is gonerally considered an inflation platform—in your judgment embarrass, if not endanger, the future -of the democratic party in the country? THE DEMOCRACY SAFE. Governor—Not at all There is not, in my judg- ment, the slightest danger of the democratic party of the country becoming an inflation party. There are districts and parts of States where such doctrines are popular, just asa higher tariff has been popular with Many deidocrats in Pennsylvania, for instance, But ‘the democracy of the country generally are sound as a gold dollar on the finance question. They know they can’t aflord to occupy any compromise ground on it; to bo hard money men with soft money principles. They know there aro but two Sides to this question—for good _—_ money and for bad money; and if in some quarters there ap- to bea clamor for what is bad rather than for What is good it makes it all the more their duty to resist tt, They know the present depressed condition of the business of the country is the result to a great extent of having a currency irredeemable and of uncertain and ansteady value, and that the best cure for it—though they may not favor violent or immediate contractions— is the speediest possible return to specie payments; a thing which pana can’t be forced, but will come be- fore long if the country sets its face unmistakably in that direction instead of the other way, as some leading men fhe both parties would have .it do. They know that WOULD BE NO DEMOCRATIC VICTORY to get into power on any other doctrine. When the democratic party gives up its hard money principles it’ repudiates Jefferson and Jackson aud has neither apos- tles nor creed left, You may depend upon it, the dem- oeratic party will not go into the next Presidential issue under any inflation banner. One of its chief mottoes will be “the speediest possible return toa currency founded on gold.” Every thinking man ought to know, and every honcet man ought to declare wo the people, that every day the country uses money of an uncertain and unsteady value it cheats the laborer of his just due, confuses all kinds of legitimate business and _pro- tongs a condition of things which makes capital timid and idle, and so deprives the workingman of an oppor- tunity to work. Rerorrer—What do you think will be the chief ques- tion in the next Presidential canvass? Govenxon— Financial questions, It is not impossible that these may to somo extent break up old associa- tions and create new combinations. That certainly will be the case if] am wrong in my estimate of what the democratic party will do. SECTIONAL ISSUES DEAD. The attention of the country is drawn off {rom old sec- tional issues, They can never be revived. The people sre poor; they are thinking of money, taxation, e omy in private and public affairs, aud’ honest admi tration of local, State and federal governments. They will, I think, look more to men aud less to platforms. Men have records, platforms have not, ‘The time to , inaugurate and carry out reforms is when the people poor. You can’t got their ear easily when they are all making money. ‘They are, as I said, poor now, and the country is ready for a political revolution, THE RESULT IN NEW YORK. Rerorrern—What do you think New York will do this fall? Govunnon—That calls for prophecy again, but I know more of New York than of Ohio. If the democratic convention puts a proper ticket in the fleld Lsee no reason to doubt its election by a large majority. There bein ad fatal mistakes made, but I hardly think it pos- il Rerorter—You spoke of sccret influences at work in Ohio. Did you have on your mind those connected with the public School question? Governow—Yes. Governor Hayes made those ques- tions prominent in his recent epecchq@nd I hear there ‘ere secret organizations with reference to it, There is reat reason to fear, unless those who influence large ies of men, and’ who guide, to eome extent, public ailuirs, show great wisdom, forbearance and courage, ‘THIS PUBLIC SCHOOL QUESTION will be forced prominently into the politics not only of Ohio, but of New York and other States, It is a ques- tion ‘exclusively for States, and with which the federal government has nothing todo, Before very long ever ‘One must see, Who reads the papers, it must be met. if” we would avoid great mischief, great evils to people ofall opinions, it must be met squarely and kept out of party politics. . It is not a question upon which the people should be divided by | ps lines. They cannot be so divided with safety. I sincerely hope there is wisdom and me enough in New York and elsewhere to pre- vent it, Inconsistent as the statement may appear, ‘there are some things which can be kept out of party politics by the timely, wise, bold action of party leaders ‘and party conventions, and in no other way. Lasked him other questions about the Speakershi and the probable Presidential candidates of the dem cratic party, but in these matters Mr, Hoffman preferred to be silent; and, as the hour had arrived when he had pd with Mr, A. T. Stowart, the interview termi- al THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION. CNTEREST OF THE SOUTH IN THE FORTHCOMING NATIONAL CAMPAIGN-—HOW 4HE SELECTION OF THE CANDIDATE 18 TO BE CONTROLLED, Lona Braxcu, August 15, 1875. The South is well represented this season at Long Branch, both in beauty and in politics, Some of the most attractive of the ballroom belles are from the Southern States, and nowhere are the political affairs of the nation discussed with more zest and greater intelligence than among the reconstructed groups on the balconies ‘and in the hails of the ‘hotels, In conversations with representative citizens of Mississippi, Texas, Alabama and Louisiana some tacts have been gathered which will be found interesting and Suggestive to those who may be disposed to study the political horoscope at the presont time. It is ‘noteworthy that in all discussions of the 4% Sspects of tho approaching Presidential con- test tho interest centres in the: probable cotirse of the democratic party; in the platform likely to be laid down, and the nominations likely to be made by the democracy, and that comparatively little importance appears to attach to the action of the republicans, While a year ago the absorbing topic among politicians ‘was the chances for or against a third terta nomination for President Grant no one now cares to inquiro ‘whether he will succeed in making bimself a candidate for re-election or whether the choice of the Republican National Convention will fall on some other aspirant, Does this indicate a conviction in the public mind that republicanism, whether under His Excollency or any and that the fature of the country lies in democratic hands? ‘THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION, ‘The opinion expressed by all intelligent conservatives from the South is that in the Democratic Convention of 1876 the West and the South will be found acting in clos union together, while probably the Eastern and Central States, except Pennsylvania, will be in accord on a* can- didate, whether it be Governor Tilden or some other son. In this event Pennsylvania will hold the key to the situation, and on whichever side the iron State may declare itself that side will secure the candidate. It is believed that under the present management in Pennsylvania she will be found in sym- pathy with the South and West. The Southerners, of course, do not expect or desire to name the President, ‘That privilege they will accord to the West, and many believe that, should Governor Allen carry Obio by a majority as’ overwhelming as is now predicted by his friends, he will carry off the higher prize of the Presi- dential nomination, But whoever the candidate may be, the di ed impression here is that he will come from the West, and that his success will be secured by the vote of Pennsylvania, A COMPROMISE PROPOSITION. A prominent politician of the State of Mississippi sug- gests that the predicted coalition between the South and West need not excite any apprehension that they will use their strength selfishly or unfairly, since a compro- mise or arrangement may be made which will satisfy all sections, The South is disposed to be very modest in her demands, She asks nothing, or coinparatively nothing for herself. If the President goes to the West, the Vico President will go to the East, and New York will for her share get the important position of the Speakership of the House of Representatives in the person of Fernando Wood, This position will be of great importance to the commercial metropolis, and Mr. Wood can obtain the support of the Sonthern Rep- resentatives, who form a large portionof the democratic vote 1n the House, provided he succeeds in uniting the delegation from his own State, All the South will ask in that event for their own section will be the Clerkship of the House of Representatives, for which oflice they will present the name of Colonel A. D. Banks, of Mississippi. Colonel Banks is a gentleman of culture, experience and unquestioned capacity and integrity, He was the candidate of the democratic warty for the same position twenty years ago, although Tio is still in the prime of life, active and vigorous. He was nominated with Richardson for Speaker in 1855, in the well remembered contest between Richardson and General Banks, when the House of Representatives Was split up between the democrats, whigs and Know Nothings. On the basis thus laid down it is believed that there can be no room for complaint in any section of the country. As to GOVERNOR TILDEN’S PROSPECTS, the Southern politicians and people know but little of him, and while they have no doubt of his high re- spectability, and of his capacity and integrity, they do not think that New York can justly ask the nomination for President so immediately after the nomination and defeat of Horatio Seymour, ‘TMH VINANCIAL QUESTION, A suggestion that the nomination of a Western candi- date for the Presidency by the votes of the South and West, aided by Pennsylvatia, and especially of the nomi- nation of Governor Allen, might excite the alarm of those who fear a policy of inflation, has beon met by the reply that there need not be and probably will not be any trouble in regard to the financial question in the Democratic National Convention, Governor Allen, it is insisted, ts sound and conservative in his views, and is moreover an, ex- perienced and clear-headed financier, The issue of in- flation or anti-lnflation will not be raised. Every demo- erat will be satisfied with a platform distinctly denow ing the National Bank system, arraigning the republi- can party for endeavoring to fasten on the nation as a perpetuity these unconstitutional monopolies which were called into existence by the exigencies of the war, and declaring in favor of the abolish- ment of the national banks and the issue of tho entire present volume of paper money wholly in legal tenders of the United States, ‘This platform, it is claimed, will not be in- flation and will unite Une entire party,’ ‘There may be a proposition to favor the payment of one-half the cus- toms duties in greenbacks, but if this should excite op- position it will not hed. These are the views of the Southern politicians. They are worth the consid- eration of our own leaders and financial men, SUSPECTED CUBAN PRIVATEER. A STERN CHASE OF THE YACHT URUGUAY—THE SPANISH MINISTER WANTS Hen CAPTURED. Yesterday afternoon the revenue cutter Mogswood, Captain Amazoene, returned to this port after an in- effectual ‘attempt to capture the Uruguayan steam yacht Uruguay, commanded by Captain Rudolph Sommers, formerly of the United States Navy, The steam yacht in question left Hoboken at half-past nine A. M. on the 5th inst,, but made stoppages at Red Hook and in the Horse Shoe before proceeding to sea The Spanish Minister at Washington has, it appears, received infor- mation, whether correct or not it is diflicult to prove, that munitions of war were taken on board the vessel, The Washington authorities telographed to Collector Arthur, and the following letter was despatched to Captain Amazeene, of the Mosswood:— Custom House, New Your, August 13, 187: Sin—Information has been furnished this oltice that the steam yacht Uraguay, formerly known as the Octavia, is now lying in the waters of this port, off Red Bank, and that the said vessel is being fitted out to assist the Cuban jnsurgents, You will, without gin proceed with your veasel to the lower bay and ascertain the whereabouts of the vessel in question, and prevent their dey Yon will please report to this offic inquiry. Respecdfully, To Captain J, Awazerne, Commander Revenue Cutter osswood, ‘The captain of the Uruguay is a bold and dashing offi- cor, knowing the coast of Cuba perfectly, having landed the Edgar Stuart expedition, ‘The Uraguay. has taken no arms on board.. She cannot legally be called an ex- edition, ‘and the patriots on board her are simply ‘passengors.”” “Yet if any of them wero caught in Havava they would, in all probability, be shot as traitors, Captain Amazeene, of the Mosswood, was constantly on the look out, and mado tigilant search from the Bat- tery to Red Bank, up all the inlets of the bay and away out to sea, The Spanish Minister has doubtless learned vy telegraph that tho Uruguay has left this vicinity. AN INSURANCE AGENT DISAPPEARS, ‘Thero is no little commotion at present in Jersey City over the Gisappearance of Henry L. Tyler, agent for the Lancashire Insurance Company of Manchester, Eng- land, Notices have been sent from the general agent of the company, from No, 187 Broadway, New York, to several parties in Jersey to pay up their premiums or their policies will be cancelled. These parties aver that they paid the money to Tyler, and they hold his re- ceipts on behalf of the company. One of tho parties so notified was Thomas Hickey, He pro- cured a warrant from Justice Davis on Satur- day for the arrest of Alonzo B. Dean, to whom he had paid a premium of $36. Mr. Dean stated that he had only acted as a broker in the matter, and produced Tyler's receipt for the money. He gave bonds to appear and answer any charges that may be brought against him, Tyler could not be found since in Jersey City. MR. KOHNER'S CASH. Mr. Joseph Kohner, of No. 751 Fifth avenue, called at Police Headquarters yesterday and reported. to In- spector Speight that on Saturday he had drawn from the ‘Tradesmen’s Bank $1,500, and while engaged counting the money before leaving, at a table, arather genteel looking young man stepped up to him, tapped him on the shoulder, and pointed to the floor where some green- backs were lying. Mr. Kohner stooped to pick up his fallen property, and while he was thus engaged the genteel looking’ young man snatched a portion of the money on the table and fled. Mr. Kobner, after lifting the money from the floor, commenced ‘to count the money and discovered that he had been robbed by the young man of $300, A description was given of tho thief by Mr. Kohner and the police are now looking for him, . * A SUICIDAL SWIM. John Evans, aged twenty-four years, residing at the corner of Ninety-fourth street and Fourth avenue, ac- companied by some friends, went on an excursion yes- terday on board the yacht Bella Beam, and when off Great Neck, L. L, Evans attempted to swim to the shore, bnt was drowned, His body was recovered by Martin Kaiser and taken on board and brought to this city. The boat landed at the foot of 104th street, East River, and the Coroner was notified to hold an inquest, RAILROAD AGGRESSIONS IN JERSEY. Among the archives in the office of the County Clork at Jersey City is an indictment against the New Jersey Railroad and Transportation Company, bearing the date 1840, for maintaining a nuisance by “‘creating a great noise inthe passage of trains, befouling the air with dense smoke from locomotives and endangering the lives of citizens by a too rapid passage of trains.’ But the indictment was never tried. The Common Council afterward an ordinance prohibiting the running of trains through the city at a greater rate of speed than six miles an hour, yet, except in a few instances, the o1 dinance has never been enforced. To this day trains dash through the city at the rate of from thirty to forty miles an hour. The number of fatal accidents during the past year was more than double those of any former year. Eight gtd ago the then superintendent of the railroad, Mr. i, W. Jackson, was arrested and committed for trial by Coroner Kirsten, yet the Grand Jury took no action of the case, The Lica to raise the tracks above the streets will, if carried out, remove in a great measure all grounds for complaint, The officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company have at last agreed to meet a special cominities of the Jersey City Board of Aldermen during the present week and hold a conference on the subject NEWARK'S POOR CHILDREN. ‘The citizens of Newark intend to follow the example of this city and give several free excursions to poor children.

The Crop Prospects—Review of the Several Markets—Firmness in Railway and Government Bonds, Wart Srneer, Sunpay, August 15, 1875. The present condition of the financial world is one of remarkable quiet, Wherever the eye turns there is to be seen stagnation in trade, distrust and aglut of money. ‘These evils, however, are not without com- pensation. In England we find the bank rate of dis- count redueed to 2 per cent; yet consols were stronger. In America all loans aro made on the basis of 13gand 2 per cent; yet government bonds and first efass railway mortgages are improving in the public favor every day. And why? Because there is not at this time, if we except real estate, any encouragement offered to the holders of capital to embark in permanent ventures with an assurance of safety and profit. Two important periods of specula- tion have occurred within a comparatively recent expe- rience, The first was in America during the years of over-production that immediately followed the war. Railroad building and manufactures then became vast enterprises. Furnaces and rolling mills were multiplied beyond example. The market was everywhere stocked with goods. Competition was enormous, and money, even more plentiful than now, found abundant employ- ment, But at last, however, tho PEOPLE “LOST THEIR MEADS.”? Great prosperity upset tho best judgment, and the panic of 1873 found a system of expanded and illegiti- mate credit that was rotten ripe for the disasters that ensued. How great houses tumbled like a pile of bricks; how $400,000,000 of railway bonds were dis- honored by the failure to meet their semi-annual cou- pons; how railway speculation, being in excess of good sense, has been reduced, until banks and bankers look with dismay upon the depreciated stocks that fill their strong boxes; how thousands of men and women have been thrown out of employment by the universal stagnation—these are the fragments of a story that need not be repeated here, But they convey their les- son, THE SECOND EXPERIENCE of this character was in the caso of Germany, where, upon the restoration of peace, the payment of the French indemnity stimulated the people to the wildest imdulgence in speculation, Bubble companies were organized in all directions, wages were advanced, ex- travagance took the place of economy, and exports fell far behind imports. At last camo the crash that always follows oyer-speculation and the apathy that succeeds the fever of excitement, and to-day we find Germany struggling to recover her financial strength of 1871, and her people lamenting over lost opportunities, From these two examples it is evident that stagnation is one of the penalties exacted from all na- tions whenever credit is expanded to an unhealthy degree, and distrust commences to sound its warning. In our own case a large amount of capital has doubtless been sunk or contracted, and time alone can remedy the evil We must have, first, a new adjustment of values and a currency based upon the only true measure of value—gold; second, our public pledges must be re- deemed and our paper promises made to represent what fs written on their face, Thon will follow the real sub- stantial recovery for which men hope—the re-employ- ment of capital and labor in healthy channels, and the consumption of our products by a natural demand, THE EVENTS OF THE WEEK in financial circles have not been of great importance. The absence of many leading operators has led toa dearth of business, and brokers generally complained of the prevailing dulness. The failure of the prominent house of Archibald Baxter & Co. produced no material effect except in that it still further unsettles confidence and causes an uneasy feeling among all classes who have valuable interests at stake, Messrs, Duncan, Sherman & Co, published a preliminary statement of their affairs, which shows their total liabilities to be $4,872,000 and their total assets $2,113,000, ‘It was announced by cable from Paris yesterday that $100,000 of the letters of credit of the firm had been redeemed by Messrs. Drexel, Harjes & Co. In speculative circles a better feeling was manifested near the close than at any other period of the week, and most of the stocks moved more or less in sympathy with a rise in Western Union and Rock Island. Con- cerning the former it was said to be semi-oflicially stated that an advance in the rate would take place on Mon- day (to-morrow), under the influence of which the price was carried from $1 to 837%, closing at about that figure. There were also various reports in circulation regarding a consolidation of the Western Union with the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company. Tho latter rose in consequence from 18% to 21. Tho gain in Rock Island was from 10534 to 10834, the high- est figures being made yesterday, The recent abroga- tion of the arrangement that hitherto existed between the St, Louis, Kansas City and Northern and the Kan- sas Pacific railroads, under which through Pullman cars were to be run from St Lowis to Denver, via the former road, has resulted in a great reduction of pas- senger rates from that city to points west. The St Louis, Kansas City and Northern announce rates from one-half to four-fifths of former fares to all points with which that road competes with the Missouri Pacific, This led to a sharp decline in the stocks of the roads named, but we note after a fall from 46 to 43 in Missouri Pacific, and from 13%% to I1- in Atlantic and Pacific preferred, that sales were respectively made at 483g and 14. Union Pacific fell off to 713, but afterward advanced to 7314 and closed at 72%. The.Northwest and St. Paul shares rose 1a 1g per cent, and closed at about the highest prices reached. Lake Shore fluctuated frequently between 59% and 6134, closing at 6034. Pagifle Mail fell off to 3834, rose to 8934, declined to $814, and finally rallied to 38. Ohios rose from 18% to'197{, but later partially reacted. The fluctuations in the remainder of the list wee less im- portant. HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES OF THR WEEK.

By others, on the contrary, it ig believed that some of the country banks, in a spirit of conservatism, have withdrawn their balances here, preferring to hold the same in their own vaults until business is more set- ted, EXPORTS AND IMPORTS. ‘The foreign commerce of the port for the week was as follows:—General merchandise imports, including dry goods, $8,843,937; produce exports, $5,214,657, and specie exports, $1,572,520, The total imports since January 1, this year, are $220,- 534,064, against $258,646, 252 for the corresponding period in 1874, and $259,510,343 in 1873, ‘The total exports of produce since January 1, this year, are $151,166,974, against $191,114,373 in 1874, $174,268,- 984 in 1873, ‘The total exports of specie since January 1, this year, are $60,805,744, against $29,621,603 in 1874, and $87,999,- 338 in 1873, THE CRoPs. Owing to floods and storms at home and abroad the breadstufls market has been subject to more or less of misrepresentation. How much these reports are manip- ulated in the interest of speculators it is impossible to state, Tho damage has been considerable in many Quarters, but the prospect is not altogether gloomy. From the monthly report of the Department of Agri- culture we find that the average condition of wheat of both kinds for the entiro country {s sot down at 82 per cont, ‘The average condition of winter wheat for the States nm which {t predominates, including California 1s 74; of spring wheat, 96, Corn shows an increase In the acreage planted of about 8 por cent over last year, In New England thero is a decline of 134 per cent, and on the Pacific coast of about 1 per cent; but all thp great corn- growing regions show an increased breadth planted, Tho Middle States have incroased 2 per cent; the South Atlantic coast States, 8 per cent; Gulf States, 10 por cent; The Southern in- land States, 12 per cent; the States north of tho Ohio River, 7 per cent, and tho States west of the Mississippi River, 14 por cent, ‘he condition of the crop entire is about 96 per cent of an average, In the States producing rye ona large scalo—except Wis- consin, 100—the condition is reported considerably below the average, Oats show increased area sown, Returns of condition for July promiso a large yield; except New York, 94, and Pennsylvania, 98, all the large producing States are above average, Barley prom- ises about an average yield, The condition of the to- bacco crop of the whole country is at least 20 per cont above average, being the most satisfactory in the largest tobacco States. Reports from Kentucky, which produces two-fifths of the tobacco of the country, show 34 per cent above average, Cotton approximates a full average, showing an improvement during June in all cotton States except Texas, whero the prevalence of drought in some localities and some local injuries by cut worms, cotton caterpillars and grasshoppers reduced the promise of the crop 3 per cent, ‘THE GOLD MARKET, In the early part of the week gold was comparatively firm, opening at 1135 and advancing to 1144. Subso- quently, however, with a decline in shipments, tho price receded to 11274, but closed at 11334. The gold fluctua tions for the week were:— Low- Highest. est.

At the ‘Treasury gale of $1,000,000 gold on Thursday the total amount bid for was $3,369,500.

GRAIN TRAFIC, Crop reports from the Northwestern States, in that section of country drained by tho lines of the Chicago and Northwestern and Milwaukee and St. Paul roads, are thus far quite favorable, and the wheat harvest at latest dates was progressing rapidly, with every prob- ability of a large yiela, With good weather fora few days more in that section there is every reason to look for a heavy grain trafic during the coming autumn, The production of anthracite coal for the last week in July, about 675,000 tons, fs probably the maximum capacity of the anthracite regfous, We conclude this to bo the case from the fact that the miners always make the largest return in the week which closes the payroll, and tho mines in all the regions were in operation, If this rate of production can be maintained for the re- mainder of the year the supply will equal that of 1874, It is not generally believed, however, that the market will require that amount, and it is probable there will be a large surplus stock to be carried over into next year, DOMESTIC MARKETS.
