LONG BRANCH, Sept. IL, 1871.
The queen OF American watering places wears
deserted look. The gay crowd OF visitors seem
to have vanished all at once, as II by
some magic enchantment, and the season II en-
phatcally at an end, though many OF the denlzens,
including such high magnates OF the political world
as Collector Murphy and others OF less degree still
remain, enjoying the mnch-longed for quiet ana
rest after the noisy, fashy birds OF passage have
nown. The observed OF all Observers-the Presi-
dent-will leave Tomorrow on his Western tour,
ana after ne Is gone her glory may indeed be SAID
have departed from 1.-THE Branch" for the present
season at least.
Inc President has not been In good health the last
two or three days. He Is suffering from an attack
OF neuralgia, but he stll receives visitors with his
accustomed patience and politeness. Even those

THE FIsu-cArAcAzY IMBRoGLTo.
Here Is very important diplomatic news.
the Fish Catacazy tmbrogllO, to begin with though
that Is not exactly news. This quarrel VIII never
be set at rest until 1t has received It's final qetus
by the departure OF the Russian Minister. The differ.
ences are not purely personal as between Secretary
Fish ana NJ Catacazy, as the world has been taught
to believes for the difficulty Hes between the govern
ments OF the United States and Russia. The quarrel
appears TO have reached the last stage OF bitterness
and matters have come to such pass that 1t Ia the
present intention or our government 10 insist upon
the immediate reca! OF NJ. Catacazy; otherwise the
good relations between the two countries may be-
seriously affected. The Russian government has
not thus far given Ofcial ntimation OF refusal to
the request addressed by Minister az st. Peters,
burg.
NJ. Catacazy is making desperate EFFORTS to keep
his post until after the arrival or the Russian Prince,
III order to give 1t the appearance OF victory over
Secretary Fish, or, as high parsonage remarked to
your correspondent "to spite Fish and make capital
out OF the Prnce.n Strange that M Catacazy who has
not only made himself personally obnoxious to our
government but to the whole Diplomatic corps,
should persist In keeping position which he can no
longer with dignity ILL., ana In which, at the best, he
can only maintain himself for very short time. His
position must indeed be an embarrassing one. M.
Boris Danzas the first secretary OF the legation Is
included In the request for the recall OF NJ Catacazy
for similar reasons as his superior.
COUNT CORTI THE THIRD COMMISSIONER
Count Cori the Italian Minister. has been elected
third Commissioner, or UMPIRE OF the commission
provided by the Treaty OF Washington for the British
and American claimants outside OF tho Alabama
claims. This commission will sit in Washington or
New York. Our government has been hasty about
the choice OF the italian Minister, and appears to be
aware or the fact that II s unfortunate Count
Corti Is said 10 favor British interests and to be
quite ignorant OF the subject upon which he will be
called upon to arbtrate. His appointment Is. un-
fortunately, irrevOcaole unless the Count, who has
not yet accepted, should decllre.
The government Is, however, to he congratulated
upon the selection OF Mr.. Caleb Cushing and Mr..
Meredith, an eminent member OF the Philadelphia
bar as judicial counsel to the Geneva Court OF Arbi
tration under the Treaty OF washington. Both gen.
tlemen eminently fitted for that task. They
have, however, not yet sgnlded their acceptance.
In spite OF all the cable dispatches Brazil, Italy
and Switzerland have not officially named their
Respective representations to the Geneva Commis-
sion.
But two commissioners have as yet been apA
polnted--those oil the United States and Great Brk
tain.

Mr.. Adams prior to the departure OF the latter for
Geneva.
