BATHnT9 m PUBLIC PLACES.-The neat OF the
summer hiss caused revival OF aquatic sports,
and many, Of the rising generation, who are almost
xmphibious In their natures, spend greater por-
tion of their time in the water. Unfortunately,
this desire to keep cool has led many Of them to
infringe the city regulations, and though swim
ming IN the docks or ether exposed portions Of the
city is forbidden, when the water is once gained,
they laugh at the laws and defy pursuit. This
habit Of bathing from the wharves and other pub
Lie placesh be,ome perfect nuisance to all per-
sons in those neighborhoods, and stringent orders
were issued BY the authorities for the police to
stop this amusement. For some time the majesty
OF the law Was sufficient to preserve order, and Q
warning to the offenders was all that was consider
ed necessary, but at last some Of the boldest VEN
tured to disobey, and the water was Boon thickly
covered with bobbing beads. This habit OF pub
Kc bathing has long been considered
great evil but the efforts to stop it
have so Tar been nugstory. It is not con-
fined to cone section, but as both sides OF
the City are tsbooed, the swimmers obstinately
insist in Infringing all rules Of propriety and r-
dulge In their sport almost openly. In former
days ii was ccnsidered perfectly lawful to use the
mill ponds at the extreme ends Of the rats, and
while this privilege was allowed, the wharyes and
other exposed portions were comparatively deser-
ted. Tbs growth OF the City has necessarily
brought the swimmers into public notice, and the
West End WAS also compelled to appeal for pro-
lection. Deprived Of their accustomed bathing
places, the sWimmers have Of late years been in
the habit of defying the Law, snd notwithstanding
the frequent raids made upon them or their cloth
ing, have persistod in their obnoxious practices.
Although the lower portion Of the city has been
tabooed, there are anumber Of places in the up
Der wards which could be used with impunits, and
il certain spots we're set apart by the council there
would be fewes violations OF the law, and the
wharves would be more easily kept clear than at
present. ..s .e-s....a., " .E-,s.s 81.

The sumner Scandal.

The New York correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Ledger writes:
In regard to the loose newspaper talk
about a difficulty between Senator Sum
ner and his wife, it may be worth while
stating, to correct misapprehension, that
the trouble had its origin in some mis-
understanding in regard to some letters
sent BY the Senator to Count Bismarck,
requesting the withdrawal Of Baron Hol-
stein, of the Prussian legation, who has
been, as alleged, too attentive to Mrs.
Sumner. The lady's honor was reflected
upon, and in fit Of indignation she has
gone to Europe. These are the simple
facts Of The case, and / have them from
an entirely trustworthy source.
A Boston correspondent of the New
York Express gives some additional
statements of the affairs, which he says
are in everybody mouth, but which may
possibly be erroneous in detail, though
correct probably in the main. This gos-
sip writes in substance as follows;
Baron Holstein was written to by Mr.
Sumner, and, report says, insinuated
something not honorable 10 the wife,
which was promptly repelled in the
Bsron's reply. Mr.. Sumner, as chair
man Of our committee Of foreign affairs,
then wrote TO the Prussian Minister Of

CSmp Life in Mexico.

The camp life of the soldiery is as
singular as everything else. In Mexican
armies it is emphatically the case that
"every laddie has his lassie." The wo-
men share all the dangers with as much
sang froid as the oldest veteran, and
perform without pay all the duties oil
army suffers, regimental cooks and pur-
veyors. On the march they ride ahead,
mounted on their burrOS, or on raw
boned hores, which they generally be.
stride a Ia cavalier, and five minutes
after the halt is called each of them will
have savory mess of chickens and
chile, and garlic and grease, simmering
in little brown earthenware pan over a
charcoal fire, and deem herself we'll paid
if her lord and master bestows on her a
friendly word of commentator. A
strange life these army followers lead.
They are a strange sort of people al
together bundle Of contradictions.
The women, though lost to all sense of
decency and virtue, will yet submit to
every kind of hardship for their COM
panero's sake. One moment you will
see the man brutally thrashing his spouse
for some real or fancied infdelty; the
next instant they will be sitting under
the same blanket, billing and cooling like
a couple ofturtle doves. Ia the trenches,
during the Queretaro siege, most of the
men dug caves by their side for their
women, who thus kept them company on
duty, and not unfrequently the hospital
litters would bear away wounded and
dead women as well as men.-GaLarH.

Tha Result in Virginia.


The Virginians, like ourselves, before
the election, on the question of holding
convention, expected to influence the
negro votes, and hoped to do something
by reason and persuasion. And in this,
like us, they have failed, as will be the
case everywhere else where it is possible
that result should be effected by the
votes of the blacks given in solid column.
The Chicago Tribune exults in this as
an offset to the Radical defeats in Ohio
and Pennsylvania. The Richmond Dis
patch says:
Every one who has not been made ac
ouainted with the thorough system of or
ganization through secret societies Of the
negro population of Virginia will be
amazed to see with what unaDimity they
have voted everywhere for the Radical
nominees. There has been no division
among them. Not the slightest respect
has been paid to personalities. They
have voted as unanimously for the most
inconsistent, corrupt and disreputable
men as they have for those in better
standing. There is hardly single one
of their nominees who is respected in
respectable communities but there are
some who are very much better than
others. Their black constituents show,
however, no greater Difference to these
than they do to all others.
Naturally, these men must be all de-
based and depraved beings. First, in
order to pave the way for their elevation
by the negro vote to offices in which they
could never be placed by the white vote,
they must ALLEVIATE the negroes from the
whites, and transfer their social relations
from their own race to that of the me-
groes. This has all been done, and these
white persons have in the process una
voidably degraded themselves to degree
that makes them unworthy to associate
with the blacks, whom they are merely
using to crafty their low ambition. They
are doomed, ere long, to be valued at
their true worth, even by the poor blacks,
whom they have deluded, and finally to
achieve their reward.
A dreadful feature of this atrocious
game is the complete alienation of the
negro from the white people with whom
he has been raised and with whom he
must live
The returns from every county show
that they are comp, etely banded together
as one man in war-yet only political
against th:ir people and their own best
interests. 1t is the saddest feature of
these monstrous times. Our citizens
find that they have body in their midst
which is wholly and blindly antagonistic
to them. No divisions among themselves
mo appeals to reason from without
have made the slightest impression upon
their solid union. 1t is as painful as it is
incomprehensible.
The white people of Virginia, however,
cannot shut their eyes to the fact, and
should not fail to give to it the proper
consideration.

fhs Look OF the Money Market.
To the Editor of the New York Times.

To the Editor OF the New York Times:
We suggest to those who expect a
scarcity of money and panics similar to
the times we had last winter, the follow
ing facts
Cotton and pork, the heaviest articles
of produce to be moved in the next six
months, are selling for about half what
they we're one year ago. AT that time
the receipts of the railways had COM
menced diminishing, and continued to
fall off during the year, in consequence
of the failure of the crops in 1866. This
year the crops are good, and the past
month shows very large increase of
railroad earnings over the same time last
year.
The prices of stocks one year ago
we're ten and twelve per cent higher
than at this time, while their intrinsic
values now are twenty per cent. more
than at that time.
1t will take about half the money to
move the Gotten and pork that was re-
quired for that purpose last year. The
amount of circulation has not dimin-
ished more than the general curtailment
of business in the country since the close
of the year 1866, while the decline of
prices for merchandise and the great
staples of the country makes smaller
amount of money necessary to transact
the business of the country.
The interest on money has declined
to a very low point in England and
France, which will cause considerable of
capital belonging to those countries to
be employed here the coming winter
Much more might be said to show that
panic.makers will not have an easy time
this year as compared with last, whep
they were very successful in frightening
people into selling stocks and property
at very low figures. At present, appear
ances indicate that an attempt at such
an operation would be extra hazardous
