The DEMOCRATs.-The N. Y. correspon-
dent of the Phila. Ledger said on Monday ::
The Groesbeck (Ohio) letter declaring the
Democratic party defunct as at present con.
stituted, and recommending a reorganization
Of all the elements opposed to the Administra-
tion, under some such title as the Liberal
Democracy" is making quite stir among the
politicians. The Fifth avenue wing of the
Democracy, represented by the Manhatten
Club do not take kindly to Mr.. Groesbeck's 5
suggestions. They say the Democracy have
no occasion to change their name, as they
never did anything they we're ashamed OF, and
that even ii a new name we're necessary, the
term Liberal is too closely associated with re-
cent defeat 20 be acceptable.
The other wing-more directly represented
By Tammany Hall--are inclined to agree with
the gentleman from Ohio. They say they are
tired of being always on the losing side, and
are ready to do anything now that will open up
the road to success in 1876 They will change
their name, stick to the Greeley Republicans
and do almost anything else to strengthen their
position. Aug. Schel, John j. Cisco and
other solid men" of the party are said to
have similarly expressed themselves to friend:
in the course of the day. As for John Coch
rane and the Liberal Republicans, they are
delighted with the exception of the paragra pt
about the name. If there is to be any change
in that respect, the former thinks it should be
TO Liberal Republicans, and not 'Libera
Democrats.

OUTBREAK AT LANDIsvILLE CANp.-There
was terrible alarm and excitement at the
Landisville Camp Meeting ground yesterday,
which for time had the appearance of a
regular riot.
It appears that when former camp meetings
have been held at the above place, particularly
local meetings, the largest delegations that
WouId attend them would arrive on the ground.
aud be admitted on Sunday.
This year, those who had direct charge Of
the National Camp, in order to do away with
the customary Sunday crowds of curiosity
seekers and others, determined to close thu
gates, and allow no one to enter. 1t appears
however, that this determination was arrived
st, after advertisements had appeared in tn,
various city newspapers, announcing tn
running of Sunday excursion trains to tn,
grounds.
AS usual, yesterday the trains ran over III
Reading and Columbia Railroad, and larg
number Of people set out for the camp.
The people expressed their desire to ente
the grounds, which was refused. Then com
menced regular outbreak; the fence was tori
down and great excitement prevailed through
out the day.-Reading Eagle of Monday

Grant at Long Branch.

The New York Tribune is no admirer of
President Grant. We therefore take it that
there is no exaggeration in the following
article, from its Long Branch correspondent
Take the case of Gen. Grant, who has the
reputation of being an extravagant lVer-a
reputation which, by the way, | regard as
unjust. Here his manner of living is noted
only for its lack of extravaganza and ostenta-
ton. His life is as quiet and unpretending as
that of the most modest cottager. His cottage
is by no means the grand affair that was too
often described during the heat of political
contest 1t sets back from the road some
distance, and is of subdued order of architec-
ture, a sort of mixture of English villa and
Swiss chGtet. Its cOlOrs are dingy, and its
general appearance by no means as attractive
and costly as is generally supposed. Never
theless, while it would be taken for the resi-
dence of quiet gentleman OF position and
taste, it does not appear to be unbecoming the
PereSident whose lite here is so quiet and
unobtrusive. Nobody would know, from his
manner Of living and his personal intercourse
with the citizens of the Branch, that Gen.
Grant occupied a higher station in the world
than his neighbors. Whatever may be said
against Gen. Grant and his administration of
the Government, it cannot be said that his
manner of living at Long Branch is unbecom-
i lug UT OSCeuJallOuS. Inc laully Oh tne
President have placed themselves on the same
social level as other cultivated and respectable
families. There is no exclusion whatever.
The carriage of Mrs. Grant is frequently seen
before the cottages of other residents, and
there is no indication of difference in worldly
station. When it is remembered that the
rigid social etiquette of Washington precludes
the families of the President and Vice Presi
dent, from returning calls, it will be seen that
the position which the Presidents family have
seen fit to take here is one that cannot but be
approved as the most sensible and judicioui
that could be followed.

THE CHESAPEAKE & DELAWARE r. R.
On Saturday last the gentlemen who have in
charge the Chesapeake and Delaware Bay
Railroad called meeting at Harrington, which
was we'll attended. John B, Pennington, Esq,
of Dover, addressed the meeting, and was
followed by Doctor Goldsborough, of Caroline
county, Maryland. The latter said they did
not propose now to ask for subscriptions, and
when they did he would not ask for any pay
ment until the subscribers were satisfied beyond
doubt that the road would be success, and
that they expected to commence the work this
fall. The object is to build railroad from
Kent Island to Harrington, where connection
will be made with the junction 4 Break water
Railroad on to Lewes. Across the Chesapeake
to Kent Island by steamer, is 20 miles; thence
to Harrington, Milford, Georgetown and
Lewes, about 80 miles of rail. 1t is said the
water connections across the Chesapeake have
already been secured. The distance from New
York to Baltimore by this route is l2O miles o
water and SO by rail. The friends of the pro
posed route declare that when in operation
passengers can leave Baltimore at 5 p. m. anC
arrive in New York at 6 a. m. next day leave
| New York at p. M, and arrive in Baltimor
at 10 a. m, on the next day, thereby havin,
seven hours of business in either city.
On Saturday next, there will be meeting a
| Queenstown, where Hon. r. B. Carmichael
Lloyd Tilghman, Esq, and others are expected
| to speak.
