TAlINANY'S RATIFICATION

Comparatively speaking the Democratic mass
meeting at Tammauy Hall last night was a
failure. Some local and many State cam
paigns have seen larger and far more entn'iSi-
astic gatherings of this party. The hall, when
accommodates about $500 persons, was not
filed to overiowing as we have seen IL on INC
occasion of a mere faction fight; ard tpe out
side meetings did not attract more than
thousand listeners. The attendance did not
exceed three thousand persons 1t was
larger than that of Monday night, but neither
of the Democratic meetings was as impressive
as that held by the Republicans fortnight
AGO. The failure of the initial Democratic
meetings of the canvass III this Demo-
cratic city is very suggestive. Contrasted
with the success of the large and enthusi-
astic meeting of the Republicans, it may
be considered almost prophetic of Demo
cratic disaster. Certainly the meetings Illus
trate very fairly and honestly the doubt and
dependency under which the Democrats labor,
and the vigor and confidence with which the
Republicans enter the canvass.
The circumstances surrounding the meetings
were wholly favorable to the Democracy.
The city is Democratic under any clrcum-
stances of n national campaign, and each
of IFS factions ought to have made an i'm
mensc demonstration. But neither did. The
weather was much more favorable for public
gatherings for the Democrats than the Re
puhlicans. for last night and Monday evening
were cool and comfortable within doors,
while the Republican meeting was held
in the middle Of the heated term and on one
of its hottest nights. The speakers announced
by the Republicans were neither prominent
nor eloquent: those announced TO speak at
the Democratic meetings were leading men OF
the party, active in Congress and IN the
State Administration. Yet the lesser lights
proved the greater attraction. Every point
made by the Republican orators found quick
appreciation and met with enthusiastic re-
suonse. The best speakers at the Demo-
cratic meetings failed to make any points
which were thus hailed Only certain
names aroused applause, and the denunciations
of the Administration were more generally ap-
proved than the laudations of Democratic VIZ
tues In short the Republican gathering was
impressive, enthusiastic, and spontaneous. The
Democratic meetings were dull, and had the
appearance Of being too much managed.
The apology most likely to he offered FOR
such positive failures is the fact that pending
the submission of the letters of acceptance OF
the Democratic nominees the issues are not
well defined ard enthusiasm cannot be reused
The true explanation probably is that enthu-
,asm is danlpcned by the too glaring insin-.
ccrty of the ticket.

FLASHING TON LUING.

The denial of the reports of eX-S"crctary
Bclknap's extravagant mode of life, supported
as il appears to be by detailed statements and
vouchers of his household expenses for the
past six years, is in singular contrast to the
minute particulars paraded at the time of his
disgrace and resignation OF Office. The public
was then assured that he lived in a state of
luxury which was quite incompatible with his
salary. The sancity Of domestic life was in
vaded on the plea that the particulars given
to the world might explain the original cause
of the unmaslcd corruption. The charge, in
deed, was not confined 10 the cX-Sccrctary;
it was extended 10 embrace nearly the whole
official class at Washington and the general
impression was created that life in our capital
is "a scnsclcss and reckless routine of luxury
and display.
While there is notorOuSly nothing 80 uni
ycrsll and at the same time so unfair and
misleading as personal GOSSIP, it seems almost
Incredible that household, subject TO such n
keen, branding light as was poured upon it
by official guilt, should have been SO utterly
msrcpgesentcd. What eyes are those which
bchcld and reported TO the world I've must
ask. What knowledge have they of luxurious
HNInp w HiJ ~ tItI StdUtiiiu OF cNlIdNa-
ganccl What personal information have they
of the cost of whatever social display they
may furtlycly watch from distance, or the
details of which they pick up at secondhand?
The reader, unfortunately, rarely puts such
queries to himself. He peruscs the account of
a reception given by member of the Cabinet
or diplomatic representative, apparently writ
ten by gentleman or lady who was present; ;
he notes the imposing character of the dec
oraiions and refreshments, the superb toilets
Of the ladies, and brcatheS vague atmosphere
of pourp and splendor from the rich random
cpithcts. Pr0fusc expenditure is usually the
ti:'t thing suggested to his mind If hc is ac-
ousiow"d to plain, sober ways in his own
household he is only too ready to continue
the exaggeration until the picture becomes an
oilcnse and a scandal.
In reality, the impression in regard to Wash
ingtOn living originates, to Il great extent, in
the representations of gushing "Socety CORE
"spondents," whose ideas Of luxury are gagged
by their own experiences Of life, and who also

SOME ENCOURAGING FIGURES.

Four weeks ago New-York was receiving
Only 13 per cent of the corn received by tne
six Atlantic ports, and only 80 per cent OF all
grain received at those ports. But during the
last week reported New-York received 81 per
cent of the corn and G2 per cent OF all gram
received at the same six ports. so remarkable
n change deserves especial notice During the
week ending June II the quantity Oh corn re-
ceiyed at Philadelphia, Baltimore, Montreal
Portland, and Boston was 2,3O6'lSZ ouSiieIS'
while New-Yorli received only 35o,067 bushels
But during the week ending July 10 tne
amount received at New-Iork was l,lo4''Zo
bushels, and at the other five ports only 9oo'-
9O2 bushels. The following shows the re-
ceipts. during the two weeks mentioned, 1lfSt
Of corn, and then OF all grain, flour included
as wheat, at each of the ports:

II is perhaps too early to spral, with conf
dcucc of the continuance of these changes.
We can only say that at present Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Boston are losing rapidly. New

ing recovery of most important traffic may
continue. Though they have great dlSad-
vantagcs To overcome, especially in deficiency
of terminal facilities, and obstinate adherence
to cxtrayagant charges and obsolete modes Of
doing business it is evident that the war in
freight rates is rendering them valuable ser

that has never given an entertainment of the
sort can measure the cost =? And expense be-
ing considered popular, and economy vulgar,
it is of course better to err on the rght slde.
Social events which involve IN outlay OF from
$50 to $50 are continually recorded in the
gossiping papers OF this city; yet the country
reader seeing an imposing list OF names, and
some mention of amateur music ana dec0ra-
tions, infers an inaccessible wealth and state.
When the Prime Minister of England gives an
evening reception to hundreds Oh thc
highest gentlemen and ladies OF the
realm, he perhaps spends about Sloo Tor
tea. ices, and illumination. The expense OF
social entertainment depends mainly on the
manly common sense OF the host and the do
mestic talent Of the hostess. 1t is often cheap
to the sensible millionaire, and immensely dear
to his shOddy imtator.
In some respects, Washington is an expen-
sve capital: yet its best society is composed
chiefly of families whose refinement and in
telligcnce lift them far above the encourage
ment. no less than the practice, of mere show
and profusion. There is a large circle OF fam
lies there where the visitor finds the easy
grace and courtesy, the simplicity and good
sense, and the absence of Ostentatious dis
play, which characterize gO0d-breedmg all
over the world. This circle is not amenablc

Impeachment logic grows more peculiar and
more personal. Judge Black edited the Re
publican Senate with the argument that PreSi-
deHt Grant and Mr. Belknap had been dong
substantially the same thing, and Mr.. Calpen-
ter follows him with an attempt to show that
Mr.. Belknap differs from the Senator's he Is
addressing, not in kind, but in degree. The
Secretary took money and plenty OF It,
while Senators are content with boxes
OF cigars and free tickets for railroad
rides and kilograms. The effect of this line
of argument on the jury can hardly be favor
able but Mr.. Belknap's satisfaction with it Is
raid to be published in his own counterancc,
and he is the person chiefly interested. Judge
Back has doubtless succeeded III convincing
MIN that he is a better, if not ga bigger man
than old Grant" and when Mr. Carpenter
produces the damaging evidence which he Is
SAID to hold in reserve against the Father of
his Country his vindication will doubtless be
considered complete.

II will naturally be inferred that the week
ending July -, the latest OF which tuil sta
tistics are published was an especially 1oitu-
nate one for New-York. This is true, but IL
is also true that the proportion OF gram nan
died by other ports reached its maximum June
H. and has since greatly decreased. Since the
railway war began, April 10, the six Atlantic
ports have received 5G.3SS,179 bushels OF
grain, -four included, and of that quantity
New-York has received only 2G,1Z3,3oI
bushels, or about AZ per cent. But last week
Ncw-York's proportion was 81 per cent, ana
for the last two weeks 81 per cent Since
April Is the six ports have received
2G9S5,371 bushels Of corn. but New-l ork
has received only 7,T72,353 bushels, or less
than 30 per cent Yet the proportion last
week was "a per cent and for the last TWO
weeks ~ per cent. The following shows the
quantity and percentage of all grain received
at each port for eleven weeks, from April ID

1t appears that so far as Minister Plerrepont
is aware the dead lock on the extradition
question continues. The treaty must, how
ever, be deemed still in force, since our Gov
ernment has not given formal notice of its
abrogaton This is held to be the case in
Canada, where fugitive criminals are still
readily surrendered to our authorities.
