Our Watering Places and Their Pc
culiaritfes.

CuAA0HAtACSs
Now that the sun has it all his own way, and
that perspiring humanity casts many long
ing glance at the portentous list Of summer
resorts that daily appear in our columns,
word or two regarding them may not be out of
place. New York is particularly favored in
being surrounded by some of the loveliest
spots that one could find in any part Of the
world to while away the tediousness of the dog
days. And the number of favorite resorts be-
comes larger every year, as dusty and tired
New Workers are constantly discovering some
new and beautiful retreat from the scorching
rays of the midsummer sun. Nestled in the
many hooks and creeks on the Sound, hid in
the bosom of verdant valleys, or peeping down
from the lofty mountain side, or washed by
the wide Atlantic, may be found some of the
most charming resorts, where one cannot fail to
find health and enjoyment away from the city.
A delightful sail in one of the Sound steamers
brings one to the first Of oil watering places,
Newport, where life and love in a cottage may
be enjoyed to the fullest extent. The dis
tinguishing feature of Newport is the number
and elegance of it's villas. Long Branch has
of late entered the field, and has added great
number of elegant cottages to its other attrac-
tons. The popularity of the Branch may be
attributed more to its contiguity to the metrop-
oils than to any other source. South of it is the
favorite retreat of the denizens of the Quaker
City during the summer, the fashionable Cape
May. Less democratic than its rival which
all but monopolizes the immediate attention of
the great metropolis Cape May must content
itself with its Philadelphia patrons. If we
turn our steps northward we may find Sara
toga, the haven Of those whose health has suf-
fered perhaps through the designations of other
watering places. Here the springs and hotels
form the sole features of interest,
and the visitor kills time between the
waters and the hops. On smaller
scale Sharon offers similar inducements to
the wayfarer, and particularly the politician;
but the tourist and newly-made Benedict pur-
sue the even tenor Of their way to Niagara.
Lake Mahopac is another favorite resort which

their opponents in manufacturing bulletins of
imaginary victories. Hence we receive from
time to time reports purporting to be authentic,
and pretending to show that this or that force
of revolutionists has been defeated by the gov
these statements. According to our special
report from Matamoros the situation has not
changed since the battle OF Monterey, which
was so disastrous a blow to the government
troops The simple fact that the Juarista au-
thorities have to resort to false news for the
purpose Of raising money shows their cause to
be desperate indeed.

Phil Farley's ssConvintion'' and How
Mr.. O'Flanders Called for q Con
ference.

Phil Farley's sConvintion'' and How
ference.
1t may be contended that the copious report
which we published yesterday of Mr.. Phil
Farley's "Convintion' at Long Branch leaves
us in the dark as to the political platform and
the Presidential ticket Of said Convintion,
and the lively son of the could sod" may have
forgotten this branch Of the subject; but we
shall probably hear from him and his jolly
fellows at Baltimore. We suspect meantime,
that the real intent and meaning of Phil
Convintion was straight democratic ticket,
or something of that sort, from the Dimocratic
Convintion, headed by Mr.. CRAZY and footed
by Mr.. Brown .s ss''''>v ..s.s 90 IN.
Fernenst this bright idea we have pro-
nunciamento from Mr. OFlanders, chairman,
calling for conference of straight-out anti
Greeley democrats from all parts inside of the
country, to say nothing of Alaska, to meet in
Baltimore on Monday, the 9Th day of july to
confer together, you understand, and to take
such action on the refreshments that may be
set before them on that blessed day as may
then be deemed advisable. And this call is
signed by Mr.. O Flanders, chairman, and by
Mr. Van Allen (zwei lager, secretary. The
regular Democratic Convention meets on the
9th, at Baltimore, and this conference of Mr.
O'Flanders is called for the 9Th, and there
may be mischief in it. The Fifth Avenue
Conference of the free traders, it must
not be forgotten, brought forth a new
Presidential ticket, and Phil Farley
and Mr.. O'Flanders may be after
that same thing, another new ticket on new
platform, for the consideration of Mr.. Bel
mont But with the Cincinnati ticket and
the labor reform ticket and the temperance
ticket and the women's rights ticket and the
ticket of Daniel Pratt and Mr.: Train, the two
Great American travellers, travelling oil the
the field, it is possible that neither Mr. Farley
nor Mr.. O'Flanders will be wanted by Mr..
Belmont at Baltimore. To be sure, he thought
at first that the nomination of Mr.. Greeley as
straight-out, old-line democrat was "a stu
pendous mistake - but the wisest men often
change their opinions when they see how the
tide running But, finally, as there are to be
various other side shows of ground and lofty
tumblers rope walkers and Punches and Judys
at Baltimore, we say let MIR. Farley and Mr..
OFlanders have their share of the fun with
the rest of them. This is free country, and
every man has the right to go and have his
conference at Baltimore.

MONTGOMERY BLAIR, in recent speech,
said Greeley was the candidate of the demo-
cratic party instead of the nominee of the
liberal republicans. This will be cheerful
news to those Greeley republicans who hate
democrats as they do rattlesnakes.

has within year or two sprung into popu-
la1ty' and on the Jersey coast Bergen Point
holds out its drives and baths as inducements
70 the metropolitan visitor. Those rapacious
harpies that formerly afflicted every watering
place in the shape Of grasping landlords and
hotel proprietors have diminished considerably
in number and extortions of late years. They
have found to their cost that the public, good
natured as it is, win not submit to be hum
plugged with impunity. The hotel proprietors
at the summer resorts, therefore, az q general
rule, have abandoned some Of the most obiec-
tionsble features Of their style of conducting
business and are little more under the gov
eminent Of reason and common sense. This
was all that was wanting to make the summer
resorts around the great city as enjoyable as
nature intended they should be.

the expectations raised by our specia
cable despatch from Geneva. There seeml
still to be wide divergence between the views
Of Lord Tenterden and those of Mr.
Bancroft Davis; and, in view Of the
argument used on both sides, it does
not appear that any decision at
which the Court of Arbitration might arrive
with regard to the indirect claims could be
satisfactory to both parties without o painful
straining of conscience and feeling on one side
or the other It is in this belief-in the con-
victon that the settlement of the existing
controversy, if it should ever be settled at all,
must be humilating and CALLING either to
England or America, that we have desired
the throwing up Of the negotiations and the
abandonment of the treaty as the wisest and
safest policy that could be pursued. This view
is borne out by our advices from Washington
published to-day, which indicate that the
majority Of the arbitrators are believed to be
favorable to the claims for indirect
damages, and that Lord Tenderden does
not consider that England can with
honor remain in the conference. A treaty
maintained only by the defeat and humiliation
of one of the contracting parties is not worth
the paper on which it is written. The
American people are Indifferent as to its
fate on this account They were never
anxious for the settlement of the Alabama
claims at this time, and would have preferred
to allow them to remain outstanding in

sort of neutrality observed by England
during our war. But when the treaty had
been made they were willing to abide by its
stpulations and to observe Its obliga-
tions in good faith. They occupy the same
position to-day. If the report of the
coming settlement should be confirmed they
will rejoice that the irritating, dangerous and
tiresome controversy is out of the way, and
will look hopefully for such benefits
as both nations may derive from
settlement of the fishery question and other
matters in dispute between the two govern
ments If, on the other hand, England should
withdraw from the arbitration and destroy the
treaty, it will be equally satisfactory to our
citizens. They can do we'll enough without
payment OF. the Alabama claims at this
time, and will hope for the settle
ment of the other subjects Of the
treaty by separate convention. Their
greatest anxiety is to get rid finally Of con-
tention that has become public nuisance and
scandal, and that is not free from danger to
the peace of the two nations. As to the
whether by friendly compromise or by the
final destruction Of the treaty, they are entirely
Indifferent.

EXTRA SEssIoN.-Shall we have an
extra session of the Legislature? This
question, says the Sacramento Bee, is
now being mooted by the representatives
Of the San Francisco Savings Banks, who
propose to contest the provisions of the
law regarding the levy of taxes. The
Supreme Court, in evading an opinion of
the constitutionality Of this law, in order
to avoid an extra session, it seems have
only jumped out Of the frying pan into
the fire, for the Banks are likely to con-
test, and if so, an extra session is almost
unavoidable, as the State Government
must have the wherewithal to run its de-
partments, and the people cannot afford
TO have its wheels clogged.
