Mr.. D. J. r., of the Cincinnati
Daily Gazette, a gentleman who
knows what he is talking about, after
/ having visited Lake Chautauqua, pub
fishes letter in the Gazette, of the
issue of the 3rd inst, and the follow
| ing extracts of his letter viii show in
what estimatimation he holds Lake
Chautauqua as place of summer re-
sort. He says:
"AIthough this region can not be
said to be lovely as Geneva or Ln-
cerne, it is as lovely as one can see,
perhaps, outside of Switzerland, and
/ far lovelier than places that receive
much more patronage and are written
/ about more in the newspapers. There
are many enchanting scenes in this
/ locality and owing to the great eleva-
/ ton of the lake, they can be enjoyed,
| for there is at all times cool breeze
| at Bemus Point. About two miles
from this place is Long Point, glo-
rious place for fishing. Whitney s
/ Bay is situated between Bemus and
Long Point, and the shade from either
4 promontory protects the fisherman
throughout the live-long day, and
! happy wight is he who can sit under
such glorious shade on a sui ry day
and sing:
'Oh, the gallant fishers life,
1t is the best of any,
'Tis full of pleasure, void of strife,
And tits beloved by many.
"From Long Point there is a splen-
/ did view of the lake, extending a dis
tance of more than Il miles to the
small town of Maysville.

Nowadays no one thinks of walk

be indulged in; but if such thing as
fine walks were needed, the whole
neighborhood of this lake abounds
with them. The drives are the finest

good. but at this season remarkably
so. According to the evidence of the
oldest inhabitant, no such fishing has
been experienced for many years. The

GARFIELD DENIES.

t1@% 4AC-A4 f4lE -li
The Cleveland Leader of Friday
published an article denying the story
that his private secretary has been
paid on the rolls of the House of Rep
resentatives without performing any
public duty. General Garfield says
that no clerk or secretary has done an
hours work on his private CORES
pondenee at athe npubliez expense.
Whatever aidaof this kind he has had
has been paid for out of his own
pocket. ~ 4aas.f slatfliaai ~
AS we published the charge made
by the correspondent of the N. Y.
Eveniag Post, we give the General
the benefit of the denial, and presume
ii is entirely without foundation,
though it will be remembered that
he and his partizans denied most
positively his connection with the
Credit Mobilier swindle, and did
great deal of padding about the sala-.
ry grab iniauity. ~

TROUBLE exists between the Union
and on-Union printers Of Cincinnati.
OnMonday morning when the Gazette
eempositors went home il was deem
ed necessary that they should be es-
corted by policemen. During the day
threats were made by some of the
union men against the new compost
tors. In one instance a letter was
sent to a sister of one of them, saying
that if her brother did not leave the
composing room there would be blood
shed. Last might after the regular
midnight lunch a number of compost
tors were seized with severe vomiting
accompanied with a burning sensation
in the throat and stomach. Many of
the men were obliged to 90 to their
homes, 1t is supposed the coffee was
poisoned. Some of the coffee was
preserved and chemical analysis will
be made of it to-day.

Judge Marks Friends.

A correspondent Of the Nashville
Banner, writing from this county, afte,
speaking of the canvass between th'
candidates for Congress, and saying
he is partial to Bright, but the PEG
pie say they can't stand the Salary
Grab" concludes as follows:
"The nomination for Governor

cradle disappointment that Judge
Marks was not nominated. His friends
pride themselves, however, upon the
fact that his %neighbors stood by hin
from the beginning to the end, giving
him the vote OF every county in bis
judicial district, except Lincoln, the
home OF Gen. Bright, which for some
reason would not support him."
Now, we undertake to say, positively,
that we have not heard q single friend
of Judge Marks express any disap'
pointment that he was not nominated.
His friends land we are one know
hat hc was not a candidate. and he
even, to our knowledge, incurred the
~displcasrre of some because he would
not reply to proiiered efforts in his be-
half. The truth is, the correspondent
of the Banner mist be mistaken. True,
some of his friends were disappointed,
because they believed he would be
nominated. We believed so oursels.

see Press Association from Mr. Henry
Watterson, editor OF the Louisville
Courier-Journal
OFFICE OF n CorRIER-JouRNAL,l
Louisville, July Is, 1874.
TO the Members of the Tennessee Press
Association:
I shoulG be not merely insensible to
a very flattering attention, but, as one
"native and to the manner born,' un
grateful for the remembrance Of old
lrienl is and comrades, If | should de-
cline the unsolicited and, l may say,
the unexpected honor proposed to me
by the Tennessee Press Association
and, though I can scarcely conceive Of
anything remaining to be said upon
the journalistic theme that has pro
duceI q whole literature in the last ten
years, | shall trust to the fertility and
fluitfulness OF the soil, and the inspira.
tons which swell up in my heart al
your call, and accept the duty your
kind Partially imposes on me.
l began my newspaper career as
Tennessee country editor. Nearly
twenty years ago | started the McMinn.
vile New Era, giving to each OF its
weekly issues Il quantum OF enthusiasm,
if not OF ingenuity, which | wish
could summon to the service OF the
Courier.Journal. / turned the paper
over to my old friend David F. Wal
lace, who improved it measurably. and
is making a good thing out OF it to-
day. Indeed, l was connected with
the Tennessee press before that. Away
back in 1S4S Albert Roberts and my
self occupied positious-subordinate
positions under Zollicoiier and East
man. We carried" the Banner and
Union and American for the handsome
stipend afforded by the Christmas ad-
dress, and nsbly laid out the proceeds
OH glass marbles and white. allies. /
remember that mine usually found
their way somehow into Roberts peck
ct though God forbid that | should
bring up The account against him, or
the Tennessee Press Association, at
this late day. l mention the circum.
stance merely as vinaicating the choice
you have made of an orator; for it
stands to reason that since no one
could have played a worse game Of
long taT' than l did, it cannot be
possible for me not to do better with a
'long talk"
In truth l de not know what I shall
talk about but if a rather unruly fan
cy should happen to take a retrospect
i've turn. | cannot answer for the con
sequences. BE this as it may, | thank
you for your invitation, for its distin-
gushing character, for the opportunity
II will afford me Of meeting by gone
associates, and above all, for the assn
rance that, though no longer an actual
member of your association, am not
forgotten by its members. The old
rustic charm, love, yearning, the feel.
Ing that after all lille has not much to
give that is worth striving for outside
ones own native village, and the ap.
and goodwill of ones own
n%eighbors, is stronger with me to-day
it was evel before, and is quick
ened and made more palpable by a
from home, which touches me.
| shall not allow myself to say another
word, lest / tire your patience, but,
wishing to express more adequately
friendly obligation under which
you lay me, | have the honor to be and
10 remain, with great respect,
