The Gothamites are just now prepar-
ing for sensation, and everybody are
putting their houses In order in prcpara-
ton for the Lion Of the Summer. First
and foremost amongst these are the Am
bassadors OF the Tycoon of Japan, who
have been the Washington menagarie
for the last three weeks. They took
leave ofthe President yesterday, and we
shall SOC have them marching through
broadway, to the qualification of the
thousands Of this cry. Probably by the
time that you receive this, the city will
be alive with the anxious sight-seeers,
gazing at the brawny features Of these
Ambassadors.
by the time that they arc fairly intro
duced, the monster Great Eastern will be
upon us. AS she is to leave on the 9th
OF this month, We may expect to see her
coming up the narrows before the Goth.
BY the time that the monster ship be-
comes an old story, the Prince Of Wales
with his squad of war vessels will be
upon us. A busy time is therefore in
Anticipation. With all Of these wonders
and the exciting Presidential canvass on
the top Of them, we shall have an excl
ting time for the dog days enough to
satisfy any person.
The politicians are all on the gu yiye
for the Presidential campaign, but for
some reason or other the people arc
comparatively quiet. The nominations
that have been made thus far have not
aroused any enthusiasm amongst the
masses. They seem to DO waiting for
some new development. The PIPE layers
have attempted to get up a number OF
demonstrations, but they have fallen
still-born. The time is past when party
lines will control the votes of the think
ing voters, this class will remain quiet
until all the nominations are made, and
then they will commence arraying them
selves, upon one side or the other, until
then the stump speakers may as we'll be
quiet. What will the Baltimore Con-
vcntion do! Who will be the nominee?
are questions asked by everybody, and
no one is able to get satisfactory ans
wer. There seems to be a mystery
about that body, growing more and
more uncertain every day. The time
fixed for the assembling is fast approach
ing, and the veil of mystery will no
doubt soon be lifted up.
The squabblo over the political grave
Of VIM. Ii. Seward has about ceased, all
sides are giving it up in disgust; the
friends of Seward are still unwilling to
admit the real cause of his defeat, and are
still laying it at the feet of Horace
Greeley, instead of the last venal Legis.
laturc, where it belongs. There is not
the slightest doubt but that the transac-
tons OF Thurlow Weed, Stewards right
hand man, at Albany last winter, was
main cause of the death of Seward at
Chicago. This, however, is the last
thing that the friends OF Seward will
admit, they are so thoroughly welded
to the corruption Of the present age that
they are trumping up some other cause

There is an independent movement
in this city in connection with number
of the capitalists, to make extra effort
to carry this State against tue Repubi-
cans. The parties moving in it, have
not been here olorc known in the pol;ti-
calworld,no mixed up with Tammany or
Mozart Hall-bnt class Of wealthy
who are preparing to give a
large sum to conduct the canvass. and
to take charge of its distribution them
selves instead of placing it under the
disposal OF Tanmany or Mozart. The
movements are yet unripe, for the rea-
sou that they are awaiting the action of
the two conventions that are to meet
this month, it being their intention to Sc
