The Clarendon Hotel L-Strangers who
are now pouring iHto the city now find it
difficult to obtain comfortable Accommodations
in the down town hotels. Such should not
forget the CLARKEpoS, a spacious and ele-
giant hotel, beautifully and conveniently lo-
Gated on the corner of Fourth Avenue and
Seventeenth street. The CLARENDON has
been too long established to need commen-
dation and it is only necessary to call at
tention to the card Of the proprietor in our
advertising columns in order to remind par
ties seeking temporary resting places, or
rooms for the season, that the CLARENDON
affords unsurpassed accommodations. As
a majority of the permanent boarders OF the
house do not return to the city until about
the first of October, Mr.. Putnam can nc-
commodats a large number Of transient
guests during the present month in style
that cannot fail to give satisfaction.-N.

The Fruits ofa State Monopoly.-The
late murderous catastrophe on the Camden
and Amboy Railroad, going as it does tar
beyond any railroad disaster in this country
in its shocking details, in its slaughter and
horrible mangling of human beings, is
mainly cbargeable to the neglect and gross
corruption Of the Legislature of New Jer :
sey. That States claims the privilege not
only of imposing an Odious tax upon ali
travellers from other States who pass
Trough its borders, but also the righ, to
kill and muiilate them at pleasure. IT is
done in this way. The State has granted
an infamous monopoly to the Camden and
Amboy Company Of all railroad transporta-
ton through its territory. The right to
construct any corn eting roads has teen
steadily refused to al persons whatsoever
BY means Of enormous bribery, and other
means Of the grossest corruption brought
to bear upon the members of the Legisla-
ture, that monopoly has been maintained
from year to year in all its original and
outrageous strociiy,--Hargord Tunes.
