We are having the most delicious
withal sunny. It lis just on the edge OF
that dreamy autumn weather the poets
talk Of. tits reinvigorating, rejpvenat-
ing, and all that, and better than old
wine, stirs the pulse of the great city to
a hvelfer beat, and SO, what with the
sunshine and the sun, and ocean tenn.
pered air, and the return of our summer
wandering people, and the greater blaze
of fashions, &c. Gotham seems ripe,
mellow place, and tolerably complacent
in her own peculiar ways. ,Philosophi-
cal, perhaps, in everything except poll
tics, but you know philosophy don't
enter over much into political warfare
well then, in politics there, is a fierce
agitation, and from present appearances
this may be written Of New York all
the way down to November Both par
ties seem determined to make as big a
fuss as possible, and the possible, you
know, is very large in this great city.
And you will also know, and of course
be glad thereof, that this uproar and
agitation is largely Democratic, for does
not ye Democratic party hold here the
mightiest sort of balance or power?
In other words, the Democrats here
about are bestirring themselves to ac-
complish great things in the pending po-
litical battles. o. lNno"" ''.@
So are the Radicals There may be
no mistaking their fierce determination.
AS for this city, it is of course only a
question with the Democrats as to how
many tens of thousands majority they
shall give. In the State the canvass is
mostvigorous on either side, and both the
great parties put forth their claims. The
Radicals fear that the Democrats will
cast so large vote in this city as to de-
eide the State beyond peradventure, and
they are bestowing perhaps more than
ordinary attention here. They are max
ing a great hubbub about fraudulent
naturalization and fraudulent voting.
thinking doubtless to scare somebody,
and the Tribune, doubtless with the
thought of doing big things for its party,
prints from day to day the list of those
who receive certificates of citizenship
Thus, to-day it prints the names of "a
persons or more who were naturalized
yesterday. 1 give this as only straw
showing the way the Radical wind
blows. But the Democrats will keep or
the even tenor of their way, and will pol
such vote here as may surprise even
Democracy itself. a.rH-H
As specimen of the dignifed and
courteous way in which the Radicals art
urging the canvass We give the following
from the Iribune: a.s.e. .#..r-e
t"Mr. Hoffman is urged for Governo
of the State of New York on the GROUND
that he is an honest man and wears
good clothes. There might be som,
force in these reasons, only Mr.. Hoffman
is not running for Governor. The rea
Democratic candidates are Wagin B
Sweeney and Weed Sikes."
There is little use in trying to Civ,
you the record of the Democratic meet
ings and speeches of the day-they arr
too many. The clubs are getting int,
good working order. In the Eight
ward alone there are already no les
than eight Democratic and and -censer
vative clubs. This will, in a slight way
show you the discipline Of the Democ
racy of the Empire city, 49,
These bright iautumnal days will d,
| good things for trade. Brisk times MAJ
come before November, but may posi-
T bly, be delayed till then. enOur merchant
are getting quite confidence that No
vember will give the turning point il
trade, even if it should not be reached
before. These Presidential elections ar,
such great bugbears in the channels o
commerce. Every, merchant seems t,
look for dullness in our political cam
paigns, and to prepare for it, and Mt
wonder dullness comes. And so this
has been no marked exception to th'
/ general rule of Presidential years
d But, although trade is not so lively as i
should be after such long drawn-ou
dullness, still, in view of the politica
chaos of the times, it may be rated a
moderately good. And then it is 81
CHEEKY to effect a renewal of the old
time prosperity after ALI the candidate
have, been elected, and the threats o
revolution and war have fully served
their purpose, and the angel of peac'

Money is still easy, and will probably
remain so throughout the season. Thi

markets. Government bonds are firm
and railway shares are in pretty goot
demand. OF course there is about tn,
usual average of ups and downs in thi
railway share business. Five or si1

The cricket match between the Al
England eleven and twenty-five of tn
St. Georges club has caused pleas

The All England boys are victorious
by one innings and twenty-six runs, ant

The "Grecian Bend' seems to b,
breaking out worse than ever. rrrr
Mrs. Lander had benefit at thu
Broadway Theater last evening, she ap
pearing in the character of Mary Stuart
the Queen of Scots. She had very larg
audience. The first appearance of Mis-
Lydia Thompson. at Woods Theater

when will be given Burnand's bur

the Esd of September. s ...r-.-.
