Id. Gescest-we are now in the midst Of an
Indian Summer, and the weather is delightful.
Broadway to-day is crowded with beauty, in per-
son and in adornments. To-day We learn that
Jones, the Democratic candidate for Secretary of
State, i elected, thanks to having an American
small drop at that.
Unless something is done, unless there is a new
and 4 grand rally, the Presidential nominee of the
Black Republicans (who will assuredly be Seward
will quietly walk over the course, SO far as New
York is concerned. Were the Presidential election
held tomorrow, W. H. Seward would receive the
IS electoral votes Of this State by loo 900 majority
There is sense in ignoring facts. So far as the
Democratic party is concerned to defeat Seward in
1860, it is powerless-dead If Seward is defeated
at all next year. it will be done by the combination
Of Conservative Opposition. Nothing else can
defeat W. II. Seward The old Brown fare-up has
actually strengthened the Black Republicans.
There is no question about it, but you have not
seen the end OF that business Old Brown will be
hung, He deserves it Nevertheless, his hanging
will furnish ammunition for TO- 600 pupits and $500
Republican papers, and if the thunder don't roll,
and fthe whole North doesn't become Abolitionized
and Brownized, / shall be gladly mistaken. As
said before, there is use in concealng the truth
Poor old Gerritt Smith fancy SO good looking
man roaming around the Utica Asylum, playful
political maniac! At the first thought there was
some humbug about the matter. am now con-
vinced Smith is mad in earnest.
Our Balloon man Lowe is smart. He takes in some-
times $1,000 day, besides considerable sums from
other sources. He will feather his nest extensively,
say $4,000 to $50 900, and when he starts for Eu-
rope, will take good care not to get out of sight
Of American land Then he will have nice story
to tel-it will soon be forgotten, and Lowe will be
comfortable for the remainder Of his days. Oh,
humbug! 14
This reminds me of another man, who really is q
genius He is making more substantial benefit for
himself no,o than he ever made before in his life,
and it is done so quietly, no noise, and the money
comes in 5000 every night net Barnum gets one
third $500 night, or $500 week steady income
for man is item, and that P. T. Barnum gets.
He originated the g Drayton Parlor Operas" Bar
mum is manager. Barnum brought them out to
this country. He has procured lease of Hope
Chapel, and the amusement will be as permanent
a feature of New York as is the Italian Opera,
regular Drama, or Negro Minstrels. The Draytons
make net $500 week. Barnum makes $500,
and why not! The Draytons are clever. Barnum
saw it and secured them. They felt that as con-
coctor and manager Barnum had no equal, and they
secured him. The result proves that both parties
were correct in their estimates and the Parlor
Opera is gaining in public favor every day. May
Phincas salt his makngs this time.
The Trustees Of Abolition DIR. Cheevers' Church
repudiated his acts and the acts in England Of
Cheeyers' woman, (Miss Johnson) who tried to
collect English funds Bah The Trustees of

them all out tomorrow before breakfast, and they
dare not say aught against it.

citing contest for Mayor. The Tamany Hall Con-
vention will nominate tonight. Already James 7.
Brady, Isaac v. Fowler, W. D. Kennedy and W
G. Havemeyer, have declined to run in the most
positive manner. Why it's so know not. G. God
frey Gunthe is talked about. He is o rich fur
merchant in Maiden Lane. His parental sire is a
Russian, (they call him German to get Dutch votes)
He is willing to spend several thousands for the
nomination, and-will probably get it, for money
is scarce about the old Wigwam.
The Mozart Hall people have nominated Fer
nando Wood. He is willing and will run, much TO
my amazement, for do not believe it is possible
to elect that bad man Mayor Of our great city.

to nominate anybody will nominate ex-Mayor

Ketchum will be their man.

many candidates Wood may have a sight for elec-
ton. cannot yet believe it.
