Ed. TRIBUNE. - The present coo
weather will send home many thonsand
OF the residents of Gotham who are no,
luxuriating at the fashionable summe
retreats. We are having long spell Q
cool, dry weather, and the air notifies u
of the Autumnal season, the most love
| ly in The year Watering places yiel'
up those, who for many weeks hav'
there sought enjoyment, and they mus
now hasten home to prepare to engag'
in the winter amusements. Such per
sons live in excitement, and worship
dame Fashion, who is q cruel tyrant
Furnishing all who yield not to her miser
able demands. In a short time we shall
see these parties rolling along in theil
| carriages in the Central Park, and tht
lstorekeepers will welcome them as they
make their calls to purchase for tht
coming season. In other sections of the
city there may be found multitudes who
are in need of the common comforts oi
life, as trade this summer has been un-
usually slow. These are the extremes
Of the Metropolis-wealth and poverty
JOY and sorrow.
The Supt. of Police reports for the
past quarter the arrests Of 1888 per-
sons. The Metropolitan Districts COM
prises this city, Brooklyn and two other
counties, altogether containing a popu-
lation nearly equal to that found in all
the rest of the State. The above ap-
peares to be very great number to be
arrested; but the largest portion of
them were bro't before the magistrates
for drunkenness. Notwithstanding the
high price of liquor, it seems to be loved
and patronized, as much, if not more
than ever. Assaults committed while
under its influence, and lying in the
streets constitute the great majority of
cases. 1857 males and SAT females
were arrested for robbery, and the
amount stolen for the quarter reached
the sum of s2S2, 1875 so; the sum recov-
cred and refunded to the owners through
the agegency of the police was $685.
164 18 which is very fair per centage
I think, clearly showing the efficiency
of that body.
On Friday evening last, the Brig
ade commanded by Gen. Sickels, before
his advancement to the command of the
Sd Army Corps gave to their loved Gen
eral serenade, evincing continuance
Of the confidence which they reposed in
him; the 7th Reg. which for short time
has been attached to the Sd Corps gave
to Gen. S. marching salute, which was
highly appreciated by him. No less
than 10000 persons were present, the
streets in fornt of and in the vicinity Of
the Brevost House being crowded. AT
ter an address of welcome Gen. Sickels
replied, and returned his thanks for the
honor done him. He referred to his Ca
reer in the Carolinas and Significantly
said he had not violated single order
given him. 1t is well known that in all
that he did he had the approval of Gen.
Grant, and no doubt the President in
tended to reprove the latter as well as
the former by removing Gen. S. from
Carolina. Andrew Johnson's chief de-
sire seems to be to give as much aid
and comfort to the South as he can, and
to this end he issues Proclamations and
sends them to each Department with rs
much earnestness, and with as little sue
cess as he left the SO stars, and the Con-
when he was sweeping around
the circle. What he intends to do in the
future is best kno wn to his friends, those
who opposed his election, calling him a
'' drunken, boorish tailor" Should he
attempt any coup d'etat, he will not be
quite as successful as was the +" nephew
Of my Uncle and may find himself a
private citizen, without honor in his own
State, or elsewhere. j..
