The staiwarts in the North are getting up
another howl because the new Constitution
of Louisiana provides for the choosing Of
presidential electors by the Legislature, as
was the case in South Carolina up to the
breaking out OF the war.-State.
It is good cause for 'showl." The State
knows that such q method OF choosing
electors is simply designed to suppress and
defeat the popular will, and q cowardly and
sneaking purpose to evade or practically null
lily the amendments to the Constitution
As to South Carolina, the South has had
enough Of the presidents OF that State, and
to name them ought to be sufficient reason
for every Southern State and community to
condemn them. There will be no peace In
the country until the letter and spirit OF the
laws..are observed, and all such efforts as that
mentioned Of Louisiana, are denounced and
disowned by the Southern people.

will make fuss about jeff Davis and such
things as that, but he don't abont little
things" Mr.. Chandler laughed as heartily
as anybody, and withdrew his objection.
The same paper has the following state
ment OF his wealth, the result of his business
sagacity and application:
Mr.. Chandler possessed one great advan-
tage over the majority OF leading Republican
politicians, and that was his great wealth.
According to the estimate placed upon his
fortune by his intimate friends, Mr.. Cham
dler leaves behind him about three millions
Of dollars. His income, as he acknowledged
to friend a few months ago, was $i25, 900
annually. sAnd Ispend 1000 of it; at
least, try to do so. That is the amount
allow myself every year." He entertained
literally. Judge Carter informed the writer
this afternoon that he had known Mr.. Chan.
der to spend 81 200 for single dinner to q
number of public men, the object Of which
was solely to reconcile differences and pro-
mote harmony In the party. Mr.. Chandler
was naturally q shrewd and sagaci0us BUSH
ness man. Judge Carter, who knew him
intimately, says: "He had, in my opinion
the best financial head in the country

ample proof OF his superiority in this partic-
ular, for no ordinary man could have gone

NEW.YORK IN SUMMER.

LARGE INCREASE IN TRAVEL AND BUSY STREETS.
1t has been a subject OF general remark that the
streets Of the city, especially upper Broadway, have
been uncommonly lively for the month of August
THIS accounted for partly by the very large throng
Of strangers who have visited the city during the
the past two months. They have filed horse-cars
md stages with themselves aud their bags, and
have crowded the hotels TO overiowing At the
Fifth Avenue Hotel it is said that there has not been
so prosperous Summer business since the Centen-
NAL year. The guests have come mainly from the
West. TO some extent from New England, and to an
increased degree from the South. The opinion pre-
walls that this Summers travel indicates that
money is unusual plenty, and that the Fall trade
will be large. City Tcta! dealers have been favor
ably affected by the great influx OF strangers. At
The Fifth Avenue the impression prevails that the
rcnown Of COuCy Island has been great attraction
10 persons living inland. COney Island and Rock
away are now giving TO New-1Ork the practical al
Nantages OF a Watering-pldce which are thus added
70 the uey,r-eudln1 attractions OF the great city.
A great many guests have adopted the pian OF re-
naming 40 the hotel day, then gong To C0ney
Island for two DAYS. and returning to the city Tor
another DAY. and so alternating between the town
aud the sedshOre. The idea prevails that ibis lnd-
Gates great change 10 come IN the habits OF VEST
pru peOp'e who are able 10 take a summer vacation
OF travel and that in the near iuture COuey Island
ana ROckaway Will atrict politicians from an over
the country aud bankers and railroad men, who can
hold their conferences and meetings at their leisure
on the sea,hOre, and az odd moments attend 10 the
business that always needs TO be done III the metTOp
oils n Is claimed besides. that the attractions of
COnev Island have induced great many citizens to
remain in town during July and August who have
usually spent much OF their time IN the country.
The 0therh0tejs about Madison and UDiOn-squaIes
ana especially the Windsor Hotel, have mad an ex-
cellent SUMMER TRACE. Gong up Broadway about
dinner time OF just after the gas is lighted, the
New Yorker accustomed to recent dull Summers
will not fal TO marvel at the crowds of guests to be
seen al the p0rtcos and m the Offices and corridors
OF the St. Nicholas, Metropolitan and Grand Central
Hotels. A large business has been done, also at
the AstOr House.
