If the electoral votss OF these States are not

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. July IL.
Escaping from the heat and dust Of the city,
and taking the p. M. express train on the
Camden and Atlantic Railroad, your correspon-
dent formed one Of pleasant party bound for
this ''Cty by the Sea-" AS 1t had been some
years since we had travelled over the road we
were prepared TO see some changes In the face
OF the country, but hardly as many as have
taken place. The embryo towns and sparsely
settled country of a few years ago, have been
wonderfully metamorphosed by the opening OF
the railroad, through the facilities 1t has since
afforded, presenting at once picture of pros
perity, thrift and beauty, as we whirled rapidly
along Lands thought TO be almost und for culti-
yation few years ago, have been made to yield
abundantly, by successful drainage and other
proper treatment we'll known TO farmers. And
there are yet large quantities of land along the
line of the road, waiting for some of our enter
prising citizens to render equally productive
and profitable. AS places of residence we should
much prefer the thriving towns OF Jersey within
q short distance of our city, to hundreds of
Western towns through which we passed dur
ing the last summer We cannot thep wonder
ing at the seeking of homes In the far West,
when the East taking the facilities OF markets
and other advantages into consideration, pre-
gents equally as great Inducements
After rapid ride of two hours-up to schedule
time-We set foot In Atlanuc City. Before we
reached this place a much more cool and COM
Portable state of the atmosphere was clearly
porcepuble. But once in the city, we were
very sensible OF the fact that we could and
would be cool. AS our rooms had been pre-
V1ously engaged, we were soon in snug quar-
ters, and quite at home. In the evening our
party walked to the beach, and in a short time
had the extreme pleasure OF seeing the moon,
just past the full, rise on the ocean. The tide
was high, the breakers rolling in splendidly,
and the sight magnificent
The grandeur of the scene was such that one
might gaze upon 1t for hours without becoming
weary. The moOn-heams dancing ON the
ocean the resistless rush of the breakers-now
driving us farther up the beach, and again re-
ceding-the snow.white cap extending far ont

Too soon the growing lateness OF the hour ad-
GOnished us that we must leave the beautiful
vision and further oontemplations to a future
time.
In the morning, after a cool and pleasant
nighs's rest, we hurried out and down to see

away.
About IL o'c'ock we found the bath 10 be de.
nghtful-eDjoyed by hundreds on the beach.
We are not at all surprised at the thousands
who leave the city, n it is only for a day, for
such glorious and refreshing "dip." Here we

large or small numbers OF workmen
would fall TO md e profitable In
the end by giving .sem time. and even paying
expenses n necessary, for a days recreation Al

proved In ability. In temper, and In many ways
which would tend 10 promote the interests OF
their employers. The slight apparent loss OF
time would be found 70 be really no loss. We
hope to see some OF our large employers trying
the experiment this season.
We are somewhat favorably impressed with
the capacity OF Atlantic city for the socommo-
dation OF q large number OF visitors. From tue
ia II trains which we were informed had been
running for several days, we supposed the
hotels and cottages would all be pretty well
filled. But there appears TO be no large crowd
at any place. While the season has Just fairly
commenced, and all the houses are doing fair
business, there is yet room for many more visit
ors whom the hot weather viii undoubtedly
bring to the shore, Many have already er gaged
rooms and efe expected In a few dave. The air
is bracing and dry, the bathing excellent, and
the season never more promising.

81 90 Tax Uaitsd states Bonds
'pec'"' ,sspn,ch % The Evening Tete0raph
>sunuToN, July 13.-General Butler's bill
% tsx United States Bonds, introduced July o
aud referred to the Ways aud Means Com nittee,
has never been considered by the committee,
aud as there was no prospect of Its being re-
ported this session, Batter to-day got Delos r.
Ashley, Of fNevads, when that State was called
in regular order, for bills and resolutions to in
troduce 1t again IN q somewhat modified form,
but containing the main principle Of taxing the
bonds. Objection was made aud a point OF
order raised, that It YVES bill taxing the people,
and could not under the rules receive present
consideration.
The Speaker SUSTAINED the point of order, on
the ground that all bills for taxing the people
ard for raising the revenue must first be dis
cussed in the Committee of the Whole of the
House. The bill was accordingly referred tC
the Committee Of the Whole, which etfectuslly
kills it. This will probably be the end of all
bills for taxing bonds.

The Washington special to the New York

WAsHINGToN. July ~ There is much specu-
lation regarding tue altitude of the President
and his Cabinet on the New York Democratic
nominations, and numerous reports are In cir
culaLion (none of them we'll founded, however,
that a serious uisatfection exists among Mr.
Johnson's advisers towards the Democratic can
didates. There is no doubt, however, of the po-
sition of Mr.. Seward and General Schohsld
They both support General Grant. Secretary
Seward will probably take no prominent part
in the campaign, but his symPathies aud
count tenance Will be given to the Republican
candidate.
The same NAV be said only in more positive
degree of Mr. Evarts the probable Attorney
General. AS TO MoCulloch's position, nothing
further Is positively known than that he utterly
repudiates the financial part OF the Democratic
platform, and that he dlsllkes Seymour. POST
master General Randall Is reported TO have
declared for Grant and Cofax, but authorizes
denial of the report, and adds that he mas not
made mp his mind TO support either ticket
He states further. very significantly, that he
cannot conscienuOusly support repud iation
platform, or any candidate with repud alton
principles. Regarding the much. tal ks cd OF third
party movement, he says that it would fail In

Important Decision.

BUFFALO, July 13..-The following decision by
Judge Hall, of the United States Circuit Court,
on writ of certiorari and habeas corpus, IN the
notorious extradtion case of Charles H. Baker,
which was argued by Messrs. SwartE and Bene-
dick, counsel for the Queen of England, and by
Messrs. Fox aud Parker for the prisoner, on
Friday last, will be important to the legal pro-
fession:-
Judge Hall says that foreign conviction under
the statutes of the State of New York does not
render witness incompetent, as the statute has
reference to conviction under the laws of the
State. The statutes of the State of New York
provide that a Governor or Legislature may
pardon convict, and thus restore his compe-
iency. This would not be done in a case of
foreign conviction, however. / am of opinion
that the same result would be reached II the
case was governed by the rules of evidence, as
Il stood previous to the statutes of the State as
foreign conviction in the year 1899 would not
render such person incompetent The follow
ing important questions Of law were fully
signed, but decision on the first point rendered
a decision IN them unnecessary, although an in
timation were in their favor.
First. That bail could not be taken under the
extradition treaty, because cases so arising are
not ofTenses against the United States, but sim
ply under treaty. Second. The question as to
whether the United States Circuit Court has
appellant Jurisdiction froM decision OF the
United States Commissioner. Third. How far
the Circuit Court could review evidence on GER
tiorari and habeas corpus. The prisoner was
remanded to the custody of the United States
Marshal, and will be removed to Canada on
Wednesday or Thursday next.
