questions to overshadow the less, wheE
ated at the same time. This is the invariskle
law Of the human mind, and it proves either the
ignorance Or dishonesty of these sham reformers.
The national question, which is now agitsting the
public mind, and will be finally decided the Sc
cond Of November, absorbs all questions Of minog
interest, and if those gentlemen who propose to get
up a city third party in New York were in earnest,
they would select another time.
The second reason why they sre not entitled to
any credit for sincerity is tlMs-When the wings
were in power and lived Upon the fat Of the
land, penetrating the most fragrant jobs by night
and by day. these journals and patriots never called
for reform, adverted to the hourly robber-
les Of The pubic treasury But circumstances alter
cases The democrats are now in power, and the
wings want to turn Them out, by making them
Odious with the people, while it is hoped, at the
SEINE time to influence the Presidential election by
raising cry against the corruption Of the demo-
Gratis.
This is weak device-too shallow by far to stand
the test of Eve minutes reflection. II is IS trans
parens glass, and as easily demolished. There
will be no third party just now, unless it is tee
total party, and these pure reformers must either
''bide their time,' nursing their wrath to keep it
worm fora future day, or they must divert their
zeal into some other channel, more plausible and
more likely to yield them quick and profitable
return.
OPERATION OF THE MAINE LIQUOR LAVA great
deal of dissatisfaction is caused wherever the new
liquor law is put in operation and in some cases SO
great has been the excitement against it and against
those who the immediate cause Of puttins. in
force its odious provisions that fears have been and
still entertained that the peace Of of our
quiet Eastern towns would be disturbed by serious
riot outbreak. Indeed the citizens Of Newport,
after pelting informers with eggs Of the old
school, openly threaten that when they next make
their appearance in that place. serious attack
may be the consequence The papers, however, re
commend that they lost to all sense of decency

work without molestaton. An attempt has recently
been made in Massachusetts, to make a common car

sensible justice in Canton village that the case did
not come within the meaning of the statute and the
defendant was tbereupon discharged. We give in

OPENING New HoTELs.-Among the many other
extraordinary events and evidences of wealth. taste,
and progress which mark the present in this
mighty metropolis, there more striking
than the number and magnifcense of new hotels
which are springing up in different parts Of the city,
but more especially in Broadway between Union
Park and Canal street. Within the next month
three of those elegant structures-the st. Nicholas
Hotel the Metropolitan, and the Prescott House
will be thrown open to the public and several others
are in course of rapid construction. The Metropol

be also opened on the days and it too is most

with handsome architectural embellishments. The
Prescott House is not so far advanced as the
others, and will not be opened for probably amonth

Western travellers and the Metropolitan will proba-

The existing hotels in the lower part of this 4
have been lattery inadequate to accommodate the
public. During the past two months every one of
them has been crowded to suocation, and scores Of
applicants have had to be refused at the Irving
House and Astor House, and were compelled to 60
to hotels up town. In few weeks more, when the
season closes at the watering places, we may expect
the influx of great crowds of visiters and persons
travelling in all directions and the opening of those
hetels, at this time, in very OPPORTUNITY
to afford additional accommodation.
DANGEROUS SEA BATHING. During the last few
weeks, we have accounts in the newspapers Of
a young lady who lost her life by bathing on New
port beach Two persons recently lost their lives at
Deal, Long Branch, and two lives have also
been lost at Cape May. These melancholy occur.
rences generally take place every at all these
watering places, but it is seldom we have to make
record Of accident of this nature at the east end
of Coney Island, which presents beach Of most
regular description, and affords as safe place for
sea bathing as any in the world. The sea bathing
at Newport, Long Branch, Rockaway and Cape
May is every where dangerous, in certain stages of
