MIR. EDITOR:-Since the commence
ment of camp, our streets of an evening
have almost been deserted.
Mr.. VIM. c. Fountain moved into
the Richardson House the latter part
of last week, and to-day he will throw
open wide the doors to the public.
Several of our citizens are at the
various watering places and next week
several more will start for Long Branch.
Notwithstanding our Kits Hammock,
our people will continue to seek other
resorts.
There were no services at the NJ. L.
church on Sunday, owing to the fact
of DIR. Caldwell having the camp meet
ing in charge.
DIR. COmegys, of Cincinnati, is here
on visit to his brother, ]. p. Comegys.
Our merchants have been closing
their stores at seven o'clock since camp
in order to let the clerks have a good
time at the camp with the young ladies.
Generally speaking, they are fond of
them.
The building fever still continues
unabated. Several new houses are
under course of erection. On State
street North of Division street, the
foundation for two handsome residen-
ces have been commenced.
The laying of the pipe for the water
works still continues. A coal house
has been erected at the engine house,
and a covering for the well has also
been built. Things are getting to look
in shape.

those in sympathy with the State
Central Committee, are in cCstacy over
the nominations made here last Thurs
day, but the Fooks admirers think the
ticket a weak one, and will be easily
beaten. The ticket does not seem to
give as general satisfaction as was at
first anticipated, some think that with
Fooks at the head, he could have mus
| tered to the polls on election day
enough votes to have given him almost
Il majority. The Democrats are very
well satisfied with it and say it only
insures them larger vote than they
would have gotten if FOoks had been
nominated. | have heard it said that
the young men of this county were
trying to get up an anti-Saulsbury
ticket. The report, | think, is false.
The young men who are accused of adj
Vocating such movement possess too
much sense to undertake anything OF
that kind at this time, knowing full
well that such measure would cause
dissension in the party. The Senator
ship will, no doubt be the main
issue in this campaign, and those
young men knowing that fact, instead
of wanting to sow the seed of dissen
sion, they should try to heal all the
differences that might exist in the
party. Senator Salisbury will go back
to the Senate if the Democrats have q
majority in the next legislature.
On Sunday there were between five
and six thousand persons ON the
Camden camp grounds. From the
aisle clear down to the bread stand was
q solid mass of human souls. Within
the circle they were so thick that i
was almost impossible to walk and tC
see any one you wanted to see was ou
of the question. Among all this crowC

gentlemen persisted in promenadine

and down Broadway street, N. ", OF
a busy day. Notwithstanding tn,
large concourse of people present
everything passed off as we'll as could
be expected. understand that OF
the outskirts of the grounds, whisk,
