Erc.rsioms Yesterdai.

Hundreds of our citizens left the
city yesterday to seek a days recrea-
tion at various summer resorts.
The German Hall Association
gave an excursion to Bombay Hook
on the steamer Mary Morgan. The
steamer left Fourth street wharf at
$50 O'Clock, making quick run
down the river, arriving at Bombay
Hook before IL O'Clock. Arriving at
their destination the excursionists
disembarked from the steamer, and
spent the day as best suited each
ones inclination. Returning .the
boat left Bombay Hook few min
utes before s O'Clock, arriving home
at $50. The eXcursionists speak in
the highest terms of their days
pleasure, and hope that the associa-
tion may be induced to give another
before the season closes. There
were about 400 on board.
Owing no doubt to the reduction
of fare, large number of our citi-
zens went down to Cape May yester-
day than on any previous occasion.
When the steamer Susie Mccall left
her wharf to connect with the Re
public she had about three hundred
on board. The steamer made good
time to the capes, and allowed the
excursionists one hour longer on the
beach, leaving there at 4 O'Clock in
stead of ) as she had previously
done.
About fifty persons went down on
the Rey6old to Bombay Hook, and
spent a very pleasant time.
The excursion to Atlantic City by
means of the steamer S. N. Feltun
was also well patronized.
A large number sought rest and
change of scenery at different points
along the Delaware Western r. r.,
having left ON the excursion train at
1870.

gil e and give EN- ployment TO some forty
hands. ~

Yesterday afternoon while young
man, who went down on the German
Hall Association excursion to Bombay
Hook. was engaged in swinging he
fell from the swing when at consid-
cradle height. In falling his head
struck the ground with such force as
to produce unconsciousness, in which
condition he remained for nearly an

young man, and went Immediately to
his assistance, and did all in his power
for the sufferer. Although there were
two physicians present at the time
they did not volunteer any advice or
assistance. The name of the young
man could not be ascertained.

GENERAL ARTHURS LITTER,

The features of General Arthur's
letter accepting the republican nomi-
nation for Vice President will chiefly
arrest public attention. The first is
its toleration of the retention Of green
backs as part Of the federal currency
without any withdrawal of their legal
tender quality. The second is its
brilliant advocacy of the essential prin-
ciples of the civil service reforlners.
For the rest, General Arthur concurs
with General Garfield in exalting the
need of longer exclusion of Southern
democrats from participation in the
federal offices into the main feature of
the Presidential election in COM
mending large expenditures from the
federal Treasury for works of internal
improvement, and in employing
phrases which may fairly be construed
into advocacy Of high protective tar
III. Except as to the subject of the
civil service, in respect to which Gen.
eral Arthur avows much more radical
and reformatory views than his asso-
ciale on the ticket, they are in a har-
mony y.-HSrdId.
