The Fashions.

The Paris fashions letter which we publish
to-day, with its panoramic picture of demi-
sdison toilets at the Sunday races in the
Bois de Boulogne, the green robe of the
Queen of Spain, and the novelties in costume
exhibited at the reception of Mile. Nilsson,
the queen of song, at the Monday receptions
of the Empress Eugene, and at the receptions
of Princess Mathilde, begins with an allusion
to 'the heat, sun and dust with which all
were afflicted" at the Bois de Boulogne races.
Fortunately, our New York bellies can now
escape cheat, sun and dust" in the shady and
labyrinthine drives of the Park and
amid the cool, green beauty of Jerome
Park. In both these leafy retreats of fashion
the latest styles may be displayed with more
comfort and to better advantage than they
used to be among the ugly and dangerous
distractions of dusty and crowded Broadway.
On Sundays also, at Grace church and at other
fashionably frequented temples of our Vanity
Fair, as well as, after church hours, along
Fifth avenue and Madison avenue, Miss Flora
McFlimsey and her rivals have opportunities,
which they by no means neglect, Of displaying
by them at the Saturday matinees of the
various theatres. Formerly the public
display of feminine fashions was chiefly
made at the Academy of Music, in
those old days when many who knew
little and cared less about the differences
between soprano, mezzo-sopranO, tenor and
baritone, nevertheless deemed it the proper
thing to join in gorgeous array the kid-gloved
multitude who applauded transatlantic celebri-
ties of higher or lower degree. Now that Italian
opera is extinct, fashion seeks, as we have init
mated, other fields for public display, in the
Park, at the races in Jerome Park, at the
Saturday matinees, along Fifth avenue and
Madison avenue and at the churches. each of
which it converts, as it were, into tulip gar
den. A certain '1oudness' of color is the
main indication of faulty taste on the part of
American el6gantes. 1t may be that our bril-
liant skies at once provoke and, perhaps justify
what seem to an European eye exaggerated
hues. But if our ladies shall learn to mode
rate their fondness for dazzling colors and to
taste and independence as they have already |
shown in regard to its cut, modifying foreign |
styles to suit American ideas, New York may |
yet rival Paris in debating to the world of fash
hilated distance and time to such degree that |
the latest novelties appear simultaneously here |
and in the French capital.

Dear Siir:-Your letter of the 18Th

me of my nomination by the conven-

didate to represent the counties ot
Crawford, Seneca, and Wyandot in
the Senate of Ohio.
Professional engagements have de.

by this simple acknowledgement.
l shall take great pleasure in con.
tributing what l can, in my humble
way, in combating. in this District
the dominant party, which has nj
past or present merit to recommend
it; which preferred the destruction
of our nationality rather than the
loss of political power, and which is
now expressing the people with local
taxation at home and partisan legisla-
ton for tie State.
With my best wishes for the Re-
publican party, and my kind regards
toward yOureOlf, POrsO nally, L remain
your humble servant,

Of cutting it down. There would

Who got the money?

Pendleton and Coin Interest.

The law AUTHORIZING the first issue
of5-20 bonds was PASSED in 1862,
during the time that PendIeton was
in Congress. When the bill passed
the House it did not provide for the
payment of interest in coin. 1t was
seut to the Senate in that shape, and
that body so amended the bill as to
provide for paying the interest on the
boEds in coin. The bill was return
ed to the House for its concurrence.
Now. see how Pendleton voted upon
the eoin interest amendment. Thad'
Stevens, of honorable memory, and
fifty-four Republicans opposed the
amendment, while Mr.. Pendletou and
every Democrat but two in the House
voted for its adoption and with their
help it was adopted.
If, then, Mr. Pendleton was against
paying the "bOndholder" gold, why
did he not so vote? In 1862 he was
for coin-nOw he is fer nothing in
particular.
In the language of the poet, proba-
bly, now dead,
''He wriggles in and wriggles out,
And leaves the people still IN doubt,
Whether the man who went for gold''
in 1862, was wrong then or is wrong
now when he thinks gold too precious
for anybody.

The Wau to Eleetinnaer,

Democratic candidates Tor once
should take lessoLs IN electioneering
for votes of Millhime, candidate for
Clerk.
Recently some of his friends told
him he ought to visit Tifin and do
something for himself, for fear things
might 60 against him. Millhime
came Millhime saw! but Millhime
didn't conquer, as it turned out.
The first person he approached was
a Catholic and sound Democrat.
Millhime got on pleasant grin and
proceeded to talk something like the
following
swell. Mr.. l suppose
you'll go the State Ticket this fall.
We've got a good ticket and platform;
and hope you will go for the COun-
ty ticket-leastways vote for me. l
want to be elected. When l &C to
church, 1 always go to the Oatho-
lie. We never have service in that
church, but what l 90 there. L like
the Catholics" The gentleman he
was talking to was astonished. The
putting of reason Why Millhime
should have votes upon the ground
that he was a regular attendant at the
Catholic Church rather stumped him
-stumped him so much that he
didn't promise to vote for the newly
fedged chureh-goer.
Millhime is wide awake, bat we II
bet a triAe that he attends no church
often enough not to create surprise
when he slips in. Further, that he
goes to no church to any alarming
extent.
We feel that Millhime has struck
out in a new line in political elec-
tioneering; but he must not carry II
to far for fear of creating disgust.
Great is HIillhime

DEMOCRATIC STATE EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE Rooms, COLUMBUS,
O., August 31st, 1869.

!
Sir We are receiving at this
time, from all parts Of the State, the
most encouraging reports OF the sit
patton. Your State Executive Com
mittee are working night and day,
distributing documents, circulars,
&C., urging the most thorough or
ganization Or the party. This is the
first work TO be done. Push your
organization by townships and school
districts according 10 the plan reU-
commended in our circular on the goth
inst. Don't delay this for a day.
The most thorough organization we
have ever had is a necessity, but with
which we are just as sure to succeed
as an election is held. As soon as
the lists are complete, have a copy
of the result sent to US, which we
hope will not be later than the 10Th
September, as it is of the utmost i'm
portance that we have these lists by
that time, and sooner if possible.
We want every Democrat to inter
est himself in the canvass, and many
votes can be made by personal effort
and kindly appeal to neighbors.
Hold "basket' meetings. "picnics. y
township and school district meet
ings, and have always the best speak
er attainable to address those assem-
bled. We would especially recon-
mend the "basket' meetings, as in
them the young men of both par
ties become interested, and many ac
cessions may be made to our ranks.
Upon consultation with the can
didates and leading men of the party,
and for strong reasons urged, the
holding of mass meetings generally
throughout the State has been post
poned to about the Goth of Septem-
Der. In the meantime let no effort
or work be omitted in the way of
local meetings aud organization.
We earnestly ask you not to run
over this circular hastily and throw
it aside without further though.
The crisis is an important one. 1t is
perhaps the decisive battle between
unprotected labor and grasping cap
ital, and we should meet the issue
with firm determined purpose. But
work is neccessary-organized, ear
nest and persistent wOrk--and if
this be done, as we specially call
upon you to do it, there is not the
shadow of doubt but that we will
carry the State by handsome ma

'sHe Speaketh. /"

On Friday, last number Of friends
called upon Mr.. PendletOn at his
home. They asked him to speak,
and after declining he consented.
His speech is very pretty, as his
speeches always are, but nothing new
was elected. He set forth, in sub
stance, as follows.
He was a man Of strong convic-
tiOns.
He had the personal friendship
of both political friends and enemies.
He differed from Gen. Hayes in
regard to the national questions and
reconstruction, as now being settled.
BE thought the people were burdened
with great load of debt and that
the revenues were not being collec-
ted and disbursed honestly.
He opposed the adoption Of the
18th Amendment.
He opposed the immigration of the
Chinese.
He thought that business was dull
and that prices were generally low
for produce, and that but little was
being done in dry goods and grocer
les.
He claimed that taxation was large
and unequally distributed
He thought, though he could not
understand it, that the debt was not
decreasing. He was sure that Sec
retary Boutwell, was not managing
the Treasury matters as he (Pendle-
tony should, and that was the cause
Of the claimed lew prices, etc.
He thought the "bOndholders''
were having things all their oSD way.
He'Was satisfied that we cannot
pay the debt, and cites England -ae
having attempted to pay war debt
and then giving it up as a bad job,
and funding it.
He closed insisting that the debt
shall be paid.
The speech is somewhat singular
in that it is somewhat contradictory,
and does not give the idea of Pendle-
ton upon the issue of the hundreds
of millions of greenbacks he used to
talk of issuing, and upon which idea
he went into the New York Cenven-
tion soliciting the nomination for
President.
