Surf Bathing ..Five Person
Drowned,

The under current in ocean bathing moi
unfrequently carries persons beyond their
depth, and many sad casualties are re,
corded at the fashionable resorts. On Sat
urday, at Long Branch, the visitors were
shocked by the drowning of two
bathers, Mr.. Edward o. Dummer,
of Jersey City, and Mr.. John Whitaker
of Trenton. They were bathing with la
dies who got beyond their depth. The
ladies called for assistance, and in getting
them out of danger the gentleman became
so much exhausted that the undertow
swept both away. A boat went at once
to the rescue of the gentlemen, but when
the bodies were recovered neither could be
resuscitated.
Gustavus A. Ratz of New York, and a
young man from Buffalo named Gardener,
were drowned on Sunday while bathing off
the Pavilion Hotel, at the Neversink High
lands. They were in the surf with a par
ty of gentlemen and ladies, when the
swift under-current carried off some of the
ladies into deep water, and in rescuing his
wife Mr.. R. sank before assistance could
reach him. Young Gardener was also lost
bv the undertow.
Thomas Jefferson Badger, the only son
of Senator Badger, of North Carolina, was
drowned in the surf at Atlantic City on
the 9TH inst. He was a good swimmer
and was probaly seized with cramp.

i'm the Penitentiary.

The State Journel remarks that but few
persons are aware Of the immense quanti-
ty of provisions which are consunmed BY
the convicts in the Penitentiary, and pro-
ceeds to enlightep. the public in the premi-
ses. 1t commences with the staff Of life,
bread;
There are SIS barrels Graham -four used
per week, which make 495 loaves of bread
weighing 80 pounds each-this is 1880
pounds per week, and amounts in the year
to the enormous quantity of 1880
pounds or 462 tons of Graham bread
The amount of meat consumed per day is
1900 pounds, s,4oO per week, and nearly
ll9 tons in one year. Potatoes are given
to the prisoners once a day during the year
when they can be had, and it takes ls
bushels for one meal. They get coffee
twice each day, which takes "a pounds
mixed with barley or rye-this makes 266
gallons of coffee consumed every day,
making $500 pounds of coffee, $1,000
gallons in one year. On each Sunday
they are treated with cup of tea for their
dinner, which takes Is pounds at one
drawing making 1873 gallons.
In addition to the above, vegetables are
given occasionally, in their season, some
times every other day, or twice week.
It takes IL bushels tomatoes for one meal;
1000 pounds of cabbage; 160 pounds of
rice; 4 bushels of beans; L 4 bushels apples;
10 bushels onions stewed; so bushels
greens, and Is bushels roasting ears. For
their breakfast, they use s bushels pickeled
beets. Twice week they are given milk,
which takes 133 gallons for one neal
During the year they use 60 barrels of
molasses, and lO4 barrels of vinegar.
The present Warden, Mr.. Prentiss, has
commenced to give them butter, bread and
bread and coffee occasionally, for break
fast. The first time some of the convicts
have tasted butter fer twenty years, was
on last Tuesday morning, and it was anu
sing as well as gratifying TO witness the
silent expressions Of gratitude which lit
up the countenances of the prisoners as
they beheld this delicacy spread before
them. 1t takes I5O pounds for one meal.
The health Of the prison is good for
this season of the year, and the Warden in
forms us that the medicine of the new
Physician DR.. Kinsel, works like cLarm.
There are now 952 convicts, small de-
crease-the courts not being in session
generally throughout the State at the
present time.

The Little Joker

Douglas plays the political thimble rig
game equal to the most expert of black
legs. In Pennsylvania and New Jersey,
where tariff is popular, Douglas, in one
of his speeches said:
Now | suppose there are none of US who
are not satisfied that, on the subject of the
tariff, there ought to bs material changes.
How is it? The Collectors of your ports
are becoming rich; your government is be-
coming poor. Is it not time that We
should establish a home valuat ion upon
every a article that is brought into the
country, so that We may prevent fraud p
Is it not time that we should discuss and
investigate whether, upon many articles, it
is not our wise and just policy to-day to
levy specific duties, to the end that honest
revenue may be collected, and that we may
have the great interests of the country
protec ted. Appluse.
The Baltimore Platform, on which
Douglas was nominated, reiterated the
Cincinnati Platform, and the latter espec-
tally condemned protection to Northern
manufactures, on the ground it was cher
ishing the interests of one section at the
expense of another; and that Platform ex-
pressly declared that "no more revenue
ought to he raised than is required TO de-
fray The necessary expensas of the govern
ment."
AT Washington-before his Southern
masters-Douglas said:
Bear in mind that these questions
touching the right OF property in Slaves
was referred to the Territorial Courts with
right of appeal to Supreme Court. When
that case shall arise and the Court pro-
nounce its judgment, it will be binding, and
thearmy, navy, and militia must be used
to carry it into effect.
And in Illinois, Douglas-before the
people-said:
1t matters not what way the Supreme
Court may decide the question, the people
have control of it, for the reason that
slavery cannot exist day or an hour any
where unless it is supported by local police
regulations; these police regulations can
only be established by local Legislature,
and if the people are opposed to slavery
they can elect representatives to that body
who will, by unfriendly legislation, effect
ually prevent the Introduction Of it into
ther midst.
And, as with the thimble and the little
joker, so with Doug las-"Now you see it

The Silly Tale Repudiated by its
Author.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald backs down from his
silly assertion that withdrawal of Mr..
Breckenridge was in contemplation by that
gentleman. Under date of Washington,
August 16, the letter writer who first
started the Roorback says:
"Gov. Stevens, Chairman of the Breck-
enridgs and Lane National Executive
Committee, to-day received letter from
Mr.. Breckenridge of such character as
warrants him in giving an emphatic con-
tradiction to all rumors of his desire TO be
relieved from his position as candidate
for the Presidency"
When first the silly rumor of with
drawal reached this city, it was amusing
to see the chuckling of the opposition over
it. They regarded it as sure sign of Lin
coins success. Poor souls, they are again
doomed to disappointment.

GoLD.-At the late Statistical Congress
held in England, of which Lord Broug-
ham, Mr.. Dallas and Mr.. Delaney were
members, as will be remembered, the Dele
gates from Australia submitted detailed
account of the yield of gold in that prov
ince from 1851 to 1859. The sum is put
down at 91O1,37S,S2S, or over five hun
dred millions of dollars. The American
gold regions have yielded since 1913 as
much as, if not more than that sum, so
that in round numbers it may be stated
that in twelve years, the addition to the
worlds stock of gold exceeds one thousand
millions Of dollars.

re- The Territorial Legislature has. il

E The Territorial Legislature has, in
truth, but one duty to perform, and that is,
to attend to the local affairs and business
it represents. Among these local matters,
slavery is included, for it is a local ques-
tion in Territory as much and as truly
as it is in a State Columbus States
man.
Yes but the Dred Scott decision says a
Territorial Legislature being but creature
of Congress, has no power ovesl slavery in
the Territories, and the Demot csIic party
has given in its adhesion, oves and over
again, to that decision of the Supreme
Court.
