SARATOGA STRINGS, August IL, 1874
Society at the Springs-Bellts aud Balls.
JAMES G. BENNETT, ESQ.,
The tide OF fashion and beauty sets strongly
this way as at any previous time during the season
and there are probably 5000 visitors here at the
present wrting,-and what motley mass, to be
sure, they present -comprised of parsons, ped
lars, philosophers and politicians clergymen and
cracker-bakers; millionaiIes, money-brokers and
mlliners; students and soap. boilers the learned
and the low; the rich and the roguish the cour-
teous and the clownish; all taking rank among the
fashion and elite of Saratoga
There are some pleasant strolls in the vicinity Of
tins village day or two since, took walk
through piece OF woodland, In south-easterly
direction from Congress Spring, and finally came
to large stone dwelling, handsomely finished. A
LADY, who accompanied me, told me that she vis.
this fine dwelling deserted. 1t had been built and
occupied by "lone bachelor" who had recently
died; and, on approaching the premises, they were
welcomed only by the Kissing Of snakes that issued
from the cellar. Near the house lies buried the
bachelors only companion, his dog. A fiat stone
bears inscription TO this effect sTo the memory

is indeed incorrigibe.
=" The ball of the season" came off at the United
States last night, terminating with game supper.
Tickets three dollars-champagne included. "The
Barney Of Baltimore" took conspicuous part in
the entertainments of the evening | have never
seen larger or more brilliant assemblage at this
place than was present on the OCCASION The
dresses worn were remarkably becoming and ele-

The ladies here are very fond OF cream and
several stopping at the "Union" inform me that
they have music in the garden and cream at dinner,

Among the arrivals yesterday, notice Colonel
Bankhead and family.
The weather is very warm here, but not oppres-

and in papers in Boston, that of all the vessels
that centered at New York, three-fourths
belonged to the New England States. We
have looked upon these statements with some sur
prise, although we knew that great proportion of
the carrying trade was done in New England bot.
toms. 1t is to be perceived, however, in the list
which we have given, that this city can lay claim
to most Of the carrying business out of itself. We
have seen double the number Of New England
vessels entering at this port belonging to New
York, and engaged in her commencement we see
no good reason for our neighbor claiming more
than their share in the affairs of the world-espe-
cially while they endeavor to make us believe that
| they possess more elements of wealth on their own
soil, and in their own waters, than are TO be found
any where else.

for the many civites in escorting them to various
places, &c. To Brgadier General Storms, their
immediate commander, and express their regret
that his official annual tour, as Commssary Gene.
raj, prevented them the pleasure of greeting him
at his quarters. To Colonel Miller, of Fort Hami-
ton, their immediate commander, they return him
their best thanks for his kind invitation to visit him
at this quarters. an invitation Of which they will
avail themselves at an early opportunity. To
Messrs. Benson IL Hodges the polite proprietors of
the Carlton House, for the very handsome and at

.
In this large democratic gain in the aggregate
MAORI y. there is large apparent decrease in the
popular vote There is still greater apparent di-
minution in the wing ranks. We are led TO believe,
however, from what full returns we have received,
that the decrease in the democratic vote will be
slight, while that Of the wings will be at least
hundred thousand.
In all elections in this country. from the time
the first vote poed 10 this morning, there has
been a steady increase in the democratic vote,
while that of the wings has tremendously fuciuat-
ed from IA 2O3 in 1910, TO 9s3, ABB MISS There
is scarcely any reliance to be placed upon the wing
strength, prior to an election. All depends upon
the amount of enthusiasm and excitement that can
be raised to bring out the members Of that party.
We have seen, as in the election of Harrison, that
they have preponderance of the sufirages Of the
country, and have the election in their own hands,
But there is no principle Of cohesion in them as
among their opponents, and hence their frequent
defeats. All elections have shown that whenever
there is great decrease or augmentation in the
popular vote, it is on the wing side the vote Of
the opposite party remaining stationary or slightly
increasing.
1t is curious to look over the fluctuations in the
popular vote, and see how they are regulated and
controlled.
HABEAs CoRpUs.-The decision Of Judge Van
derpool, in the case OF Davis, the Policeman, has
given decided satisfaction. and has caused enquiry
on the part Of leading members Of the bench and
the bar, into the important question Of Police Re-
form, for which we have been calling in vain since
May last. The Bill which has recently passed the
Legislature, on the subject of this much desired
Police Reform, does not altogether depend on the
will of the Common Council to carry out its pro.
visions, some of which went into immediate ope-
ration. We extract the follswing:-
"No fees costs writs of habeas corpus or upon
proceedings upon wrs Of habeas corpus shall be charged
by the Judge Commissioner granting them, by the
officer serving them, the jnlor obeying their orders
and the Judge before whom the may BE- heard shall
only determine whether tho be balabe and IL the
party is lawfully committed leaving IL to the committing
magistrate to settle the amount of bail Any officer vio
ating the provisions Of this section shall be guilty Of
and shall be subject to the pains and penal
ties of such offence The first Judge ard Assistant Judges
Of the Court of Common Pleas may charge the fees
allowed by law in such
"No MEMBER of the Police Department, any magis
trae police officer shall receive any present reward
for services to be rendered. and any officer
who shall receive any present reward in violation Of
this section, shall be removed from Office.

From the very commencement of the campaign
they have been canvassing, eectioneeriBg, recruit

opponents. AS sort of browning effort, and in
order to make an imposing display of the results
of these labors, the wings of the River Counties,
We stated the other day, have agreed to hold a
great mass meeting at Albany on the 9th of this
