be quite curious and interesting to ascertain
the amount of money daily invested in this
city in lottery tickets and lottery policies. To
Judge from the number of places in which the
business is notoriously carried on, the sum
thus squandered by the ignorant and infatuated
must be very heavy. All this is in open viola

unblushingly advertise and carry on their un-
lawful traffic in the face of the authorities.

The Watering Places and Pleasure Travel.
Thework offurbishing up, replenishing, reno
waiting and revivifying the fashionable watering
places is now going on, and the proprietors are
taking advantage of the advertising columns of
the newspaper press to call the attention of the
pleasure-seeking community to the attractions
of their several localities. This will prove an
important season for the great fashionable
summer centres, such as Long Branch, Sara
toga, Newport, Cape May, Schooley's Noun
tain, New Lebanon springs and the rest. 1t is
the Presidential year, and the fashionable
places will be the resort of politicians as well
as pleasure and health seekers, and intrigues
in politics as well as in love and participation
in all the gay follies of this day and generation
will be found in the programme. 1t will be a
general season of extravaganza, Irritation, fun,
fashion, frolic and politics, and many a sad
political scheme will be found tripping along
hand in hand with grace, beauty and inno-
cence. The exodus to Europe also bids fair
to exceed that of former years. This is con-
sequent upon the establishing of lines of new,
fast and magnificent steamers, the safety and
comfort attending the ocean passage and the
reduction Of the rates of fare to reasonable
amounts. Therefore those who wish to avoid
the vortex of political excitement, or who,
with an eye to the future, 60 abroad to pick out
some snug little foreign mission, making ready,
as it were, to fire as soon as the new administra-
ton is in line, will take some one of our daily
line of European steamers-for the average
departures are more than seven per week-and
inhale for few months foreign airs while
studying foreign graces and follies. Some of
our novelty seeking people will also take occa-
sion to visit those scenes of historic interest
in the South connected with the war-Rich-
mond and Petersburg, Old Point Comfort, the
Rip Raps and the rest, for example-an entire
seminary of young ladies from the interior of
the State having, it is stated, engaged passage
for a trip to Virginia in the splendid new
steamer Isaac Bell, which has just returned
from successful trial excursion to that very
interesting section of the country. In short,
the coming one bids fair to rival all previous
seasons in piquancy, uniqueness and variety of
attractions. All that is wanted to give it
JUNCTION and completeness is an abundance OF
cash and plenty of confidence. -..~~~

that his fancy is colored and distorted by all
the accidents of his life-by his prejudices,
hates, hopes and fears. So, when the Tribune
calls seven Senators traitors-Judases, Bene-
dict Arnolds, Wilkes Booths-declares that
they are perjured and Infamous and applies to
them without stint all the opprobrious .epithets
that rage can summon, men see that it is only
the vindictiveness of disappointed fury that
makes poor creature suppose, in applying
these words to seven honest men, that he
is 'calling things by their names"
But the war of virulent epithets is only in
its opening hour; this is only the light spat-
tering of the skirmish line that we distantly
hear. Wait till the line of battle roars in with
its packed and savage anger. Then, indeed, the
popular ear will have memorable sensations.
Our people already know what Presidential
elections can do in this way. They know that
one side of a mans biography can never be
satisfactorily written till he has been a candi-
date for that high Office, and that then he can
be proved guilty of every crime against the
law and every offence against morality. Such
is the general character of the argument held
by party journals in election times; but how
will that general character be put to shame by
the ebullitions of party journals on this occa-
sion? To what height will the fury chorus
swell when it opens with such distinctions as
liar, drunkard, traitor and murderer?

We have noticed recently that the English

the adultsration Of beer. Committees have
been appointed, whose examination, and re

ENGLAND AND THE UNITED
STATES.

The English press and people entertain the
opipion that the people and the Government
Of tb. United States indulge feeling Of deep
seated hostility to Britain and the British |
Government. |
This i.a mistake. There Is no hostility In
this country, among Americans at lesst'
against England. We know this much, that
British subjects during the war Of the 70.
bellon did 6t out privateers in the name and
under the Gag Of the bogus confsdsracy, and
that the English Government and large num-
b,rs Of the people Of that country did con.
niye at II. All this We know. It Is, ~
now stands, q question Of dollars and cents,
and what We demand Is the settlement Of the
bill. We can forget the rest, because the
Englishm.n who engaged in the nefarious
business cannot be punished by US, and We
know that Americans are people Of too good
sense to harbor hostility sgsinst the people
Of England as such, whom that Government
shall have done q simple act Of justice, and
footed the bill We have against that nation.

very few Fenians voted for Grant. II 10 only
necessary to point to the city Of New York,
and all other localities where Fenianism does
most abound, to discover that no considerable
number Of Fenians supported General Grant.
1t has been estImated-and We believe cor.
rectly-that ninety Eve per cent. ofthe Fenian
vote Of New York was cast for Seymour and
Blair.
Taking these and many other facts with
which We are familiar, We hesitate not to affirm
that General Grant owes nothing to the
Penian vote in this country. The English
people and Government, therefore, have moth
ing to fear from General Grants hostility Of
the account Of any support given to him b!

whslmingly against him.
