PORT TOWNSEND w. T.. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER A. 1879

such music as you would pay couple
in midwinter to hear at Steinway's
or the Academy, while often ten to
fifteen thousand people crowd the
planked walks around. The Brigh-
ton beach railway has its depot di.
rectly in the hotel. 1t would be pre-
sumption to attempt a description Of
this beautiful scene at night, with the
long lines of brilliant lights, the
dense masses of ever-movins people,
the shouts of merry bathers in the
roaring surf, the sweet music, and,
above, the powerful rays Of the
electric light, shedding a brightness
almost like that of the sun over all
scene.
Manhattan Beach lies about half a
mill further East, and here stands
the hotel made famous by Mr.. Amos
Corbin's declaration that "no Jews
are wanted" Like Brighton it is
very large, very elegant and very
lucrative. A room to be secured in
either of these INDUSTRIOUS houses
must be engaged week ahead. But
ever their immense profit from regu-
lar boarders at $3.50 a day is
dwarled by the income from the tens
of thousands who visit each of these
beaches ally.
Coney Island is mushroom. Ho'
tells are going up with rapidity that
would seem incredible, and all are
fairly coming money. Next year
we shall haye big Seaside Park
just beyong Manhattan Beach and
goodness only knows what else.
Brighton has a race course now, and
Manhattan rivals it with a balloon,
while West Brighton, besides the
Aquarium and Observatory, boast
variety theater.
RoCKAwAY,
still further east, upon an other ISL
and, draws its thousands and main
tains whole fleet of fine steamers
that ply between it and the city.
But Pm less than half through the
story of our summer comforts, and

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

There are no ''new developments"
in the Sprague matter here, and the
excitement is dying out. Exagger.
ated rumors regarding Senator
Conkling's manner of living here re.
ceived great currency through the
Democratic and Independent" "
press, just after the Rhode Island
trouble, and came to this city to sur
prise and disgust those who had for
wears known that in fact the Senator
leads Il quiet and respectable life
here, takes little part in society af-
fairs, and devotes his time almost en-
tirely to his official duties, to very
few important law cases, and to
study. The bitterness with which
he is now attacked would seem TO
indicate that the Democracy fear
Conkling "boom" for the Presidency
The most nonsensical thing a com
mittee ever did is what the Wallace
Committee has done and is doing.
Under Senator Teller that Commit
tee did actually inquire into real
abuses, and took much testimony
showing that portion of the people
Of the United States, living in the
South, were habitually deprived of
their legal rights. That was peril
nent to the original authority and
purpose of the Committee. But
Senator Wallace, made chairman
when the Democrats got possession
Of the Senate, has turned the Com.
mittee into an inquest as to the con-
stitutions and laws of certain States.
The real question is as TO the obedi-
ence to laws and tho protection of
citizens under those laws Senator
Wallace may convince the world that
the Northern States have in the high.
est degree oppressive to private
rights, though no sane man thinks
he can; yet he will not have touched
the real question at issue.
The news from the Ohio canvass
is meagre, although some democrats
now conceds that Ewing is beaten
and are endeavoring to convince
themselves that the result of that
election will indicate nothing OF its
action next year. The opinion is
gaining ground that Fosters major.
ity viii! largely exceed 10000. There
is dissatisfaction and distrust in the
Democratic ranks while the Republi-
cans are united, satisfied and active.
The various Investigations by the
democratic Congress, are now gener.
ally subjects of ridicule-the main
question concerning Investigations
now being which has rendered itself
the most ridiculous, Glover's Com
mlttee or Hendrick B. Wright's.
Senator Blaine writes here that
that Republicans will elect elect their
candidate for Governor in Maine this
year. Senator Blaine is the best
posted politician in New England.

"M0RlEY'S" LETTERS FROM NEW
YORK.
From our regular correspondent
New YORK, Aug II, 1870.

NEW YORK, Aug II, 1870.
MIDSUMMER IN THE METROPOLIS.
Doubtless many of your readers
will gasp and call for fan at the
bare mention of Metropolitan Au.
gust--but let them save their pity
for more needy objects /! The tene.
ment-house population indeed suffers
with summer heat, as it does with
wintry cold, and with foulness,
and endless suffering through all the
year. These are the accompaniments
Of extreme poverty almost every
whsre-God pity its poor victims
over all His beautiful world But
the average dweller in Gotham l am
speaking Of; and he gets about as
much comfort during these hot days
and nights as in any part OF the year,
For a paltry half dollar, he can
TAX. sail down this ma.chless Bay
past Sandy Hook, past the Highlands,
of Navesink, the last land a traveller
sees in leaving our shores, and the first
to greet his return; and, on plough
ing the blue.gresn waves of the At.
lantic Ocean, thirty miles in all to
the great iron Ocean Pier at Long
Branch; spend seven hours on the
beach, and take thirty miles of Ocean
and Bay back again to his city home.
No such sixty miles for fifty cents is
offered anywhere that ] know of.
Or for like sum, he can go by
boat or rail to Coney Island, once
the haunt of monte men, gamblers
and roughs, but now the most de.
lightful of family resorts, whose visi.
tors often number 125,000 in day.
CoNEY ISLAND.
is a low, narrow strip OF sand lying
along Long Island facing the ocean.
1t is six or seven miles long and
about half a mile wide and is separ.
ated from the main land only by
sluggish, narrow stream that a good
horse could jump across if tho banks
were firm. The sea front is divided
into four different localities or settle
ment, almost, and in some cases,
quite touching each other, and is
known as "Manhattan Beach,,
brighton Beach," "West Brighton
Beach,, formerly "Csbls's'') and the
"West End" or "Mike Norton's".
The latter is the Oldest and is kept
by x.Senator "Mike" Norton, and is
still the favorite resort for people of
a certain class. Here the buildings
are rough and low, like most of their
"habitues" though the beach is very
fine. A mile above comes west
Brighton Beach, where hotels and
summer gardens are thick, and the
big Centennial Observatory offers
fifty mile view of. Old Ocean; the
AQUARIUM exhibits it's wonders of the
deep; the big three story Ocean Pier
offers its manifold attractions, as Ger
man bands lombard your ears at
every turn. Two huge railroad de-
pots stand here from whose wide
doors the crowd pour steadily out
ward from morn till dswy eve, and
where, till midnight, every portal is
choked with throngs vending their
way homsward again.
A marine, narrow gauge railroad
now runs from Norton's Point to
West Brighton, bringing crowds who
prefer the sail down the bay to the
all.rail route. Half mile further
east stands the hotel Brighton on
"Brighton Beach," 1t is a huge
building ofhandsome design, finished
throughout in Eastlake, with piazzas

,OBITUAR Y.

Josiah B Mcconnell was horn near
Gravsyille, Monroe County, Ohio, Aug
ust Z, 1853, and died near Ravenswood,
jackson County, w Va, May 30. 1879
He was highly esteemed by ali who
knew him. and leaves in his death q
brilliant evidence that be is now enjoy
ing the heir-ship of eterDal glory.
Josiah was known to be always strict
ly moral and temperate in all his habits
Having pious parents he ever revered
their Gnd; and in the winter Of 1876, he
was happily converted to Christ, there
after being an active, earnest worker for
the Master
He died in glorious triumph, full ol
faith and rejoicing in the love of Christ,
and in his power to save.
He expressed in his last words the de-
sire that those be left behind might live
so a. to meet him in heaven-may God
help US so to do.
Hard it seems to part with this dear
friend, though it is but for time, for
we know we have but to follow in his
footsteps, that when the Angel, DEATH
call, to pass through the portals into
the celestial city, and again clas;, glad
hands with him around whose name cling
so. many desriv cherished memories.

Tae Local Wool Trade.

The wool crop 10 about harvested and
expectations OF holders are high, prices
asked ranging from So to 40 cents. 1t
may be said that there has been no wool
moved In this section. Growers are in
fated somewhat over the unexpected
rise in the market and are not disposed
70 make concessions to purchasers. while
the latter are not yet beginning TO tear
their shirts at an advance over 80 cents.
In some portions Of Guernsey county
buyers are offering s3 cents for the ex-
tra choice clips, but we have not heard
OF these prices being offered in this Sec
lion. The Philadelphia wool market ia
quoted active and that clips are selling
as fast as they arrive. 1t may be ob.
served that the rise In prices is not 9
rise on the prices paid In this section
last year, but an advance on the depress
ed prices after the wool was mostly gath
cred. Prospects now certainly looh
bright for fair price TO growers, IS there
has not been for several years in The
opening OF the season such strong
market and apparent demand. Notwith
standing this, we advise our readers te
watch closely the tendency of the mai
ket, and sell exactly when they can real
ize the most for their product = Belmon
