A NEW SPOT BY THE SEA.
The Charms OF Sea Ilse CITY Seen by n
Late Visitor Mt Ocean Grove.
Spccink Lette

SEA ISLE CITY, n j., Aug. 1S.-After
sojourn at Ocean Grove where, as you know,
they have camp meeting, surf meetings and
any quantity of frst-class discourses on reli-
gion education, temperance, &C., supplemented
by hymns sung as only Methodist congrega-
tion of 5000 or 1000 can sing them, l have
drifted down to this place, and l find it quiet,
attractive, and pleasant. 1t is new, decidedly
new, its history running back only two short
years. Sand heaps are still strewn about
good portion of it, and bramble OF larger or
smaller growth still flourishes among the
hills. But new as it is, and limited as are
the improvements, it has attractions enough
to bring city folks here by the thousand,
and to give delight to all who come. 1t
has beautiful beach, extending the
entire length of the island aflording as pleas
ant and safe surf bathing as can be found be-
| tween Sandy Hook and tho Chesapeake, and
the inlets on the north and south, with Lud-
| lam's bay, and navigable channel connec-
| ting the inlets, called the "rhoroughfare,"
| afford as fine fishing, sailing, and saltwater
bathing as can be found elsewhere. Then it
has a grand pavilion, bath houses, hotels, and
ono or two hundred handsome cottages, a
postotlice and newspaper. Its hotels and
| cottages afford accommodations for the So
iourners at $150 to $3.50 per day, and
81 to $40 per week. The city is reached
from Philadelphia by rail in less than
! two hours at tax of 50 for
the Ground trip-good for ten days !"
and one can take a run to Cape May and back
for 81. Much has already been done in the
way of clearing, grading, and opening streets,
and the energetic founder of the city, Mr..
C, k. Lands, is pushing its general improve
mcnt with vigor. In short, like nearly all
the New Jersey seashore resorts, Sea Isle City
is booming, and promises to be place of
great resort. The island is about miles
long and varies from to 1t miles in width,
and is connected with the mainland by a
well constructed turnpike and the West Jer-
sey railway j. p j.

ANOTHER OPINION
From the First Comptroller az to the
Authority OF Commissioners OF Circuit
II. f. FRENCH,
Acting secretary.

From the First Comptroller as TO the
Authority OF Commissioners OF Circuit
Courts.
The first comptroller of the treasury has
rendered decision on tho question of the
authority of commissioners of circuit courts
to appoint persons TO serve criminal pro-
cesses in those states in which state magis-
trates may make such appointments. He de-
cides as fO' ows:
/. Deputy marshals of the United States
have no claim against the United States for
their services. They are paid by the marshal
who appoints them. There is no privity of
contract between the United States and dep
uty marshals.
2. de facto officer who is not such de jure
is generally not entitled to receive compen-
sation from the United States.
3. In a state in which % justice of the peace
is authorized by statute to appoint special
deputy constable to serve a criminal warrant
of arrest in the absence of the proper con-
stable, o commissioner of the circuit court
of the United States has no authority under
any circumstance to appoint special deputy
marshal or other person to serve war rant of
arrest against an offender. A commissioner
cannot in any state make such appointment.
A. When statute provides in general and
comprehensive terms mode of perfoTmin &
all services of o specified class, u subsequent
statute or other statute will not generally be
deemed as creating an exception thereto un-
less such other or subsequent statute clearly
so requires.
8. The original statute from which sections
of the Revised Statutes were taken, can be
examined to ascertain the meaning of the lat
ter when using doubtful language, but not to
ascertain If error were committed in revising.

uxhortation on Saving grace" Mrs.
Baker is tall woman with large head
and pointed features, and ringing voice.
She oxert5 n powerful influence over hor
hearers and looks like priestes5 Of the
oldon times, and during her talk scores of
men and women within the sound of her
voice fell to shouting and singing and pray
ing. Great excitement prevailed imme-
diately in front Of the rudO platform pulpit,
and when sho finished speaking the audience
knelt in noisy prayer, lasting for quarter Of
an hour.
"Amen amen amen" |" shouted dozen
old men in chorus.

"Yiepp! Yiepp Whoop! Whooplah =
echoed the crowd and the excitement swelled
and came and went the periods of loudest
turmoil being followed by the hush of almost
painful silence.
" 1t was shouting time" exclaimed an
old ebony mother, as she emerged from the
crowd dripping with perspiration and hor old
eyes blazing with excitement. They call IL
the spirit"
There was another shouting time at night.
During tho morning the crowd in attendance
did not exceed 400 or 500, but in the afternoon
the crowd was fully 5000, and at night 1t was
nearly as large. Delegations from all the
churches for miles around marched to the
camp, aud hundreds and thousands came on
| foot, on horseback, and in country wagons
At intervals time pressed heavily on the
people during the day, but again the sounds
| of shouting and praying and singing filled
| the woods. The crowd was easily moved
shifting from laughter to tears with n rapid
| ity that was bowildering. Sunshine and tears
chased each other across the camp during the
| day.
The meeting will close next Monday. Aug.
27, with grand revival services, in which 10,-
600 people are expected to participate.

THE FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
Letter Upon the Subject from the Acting
Secretary OF the Treasury TO the secre-
tary OF state.

Letter Upon the Subject from the Acting
Secretary OF the Treasury 60 the secre-
tary OF state.
The acting secretary of the treasury has
addressed q letter to the secretary Of state in
regard to the foot and mouth disease in cattle,
of which the following is a copy;
have tho honor to incloso herewith
newspaper slip containing telographic dis
patch from London, England, in which it is
alleged that Mr.. Dodson, chancellor of the
dutchy of Lancaster stated on tho seven
teenth instant in tho house of commons, that
1t was an undoubtcd fact that tho foot and
mouth disease in cattle had been carried from
England to America, and that the American
quarantine system in relation to cattle dis
case gave no security against the conveyance
of disease by men attached to quaran-
tine stations and by articles taken out
Of tho quarantine yards, and that
the system took into consideration
only the animals themselves. / deem it due
to American interests to state that if tho
honorable gentleman named made the re-
marks attributed TO him, it must have been
done without knowledge of all the facts in
the case, and that in some respects such re-
marks are calculated to mislead the public
mind on the subject Attention is called to
the inclosGd report of the treasury cattle
commission, dated tho twenty-hrst ultimo, in
IGBdIu 10 lne lOOJ anu luOutn ulnthbC hulOlB
the cattle Of tho United States. While it is
admitted that this disease did exist in herds
of cattle imported from Great Britain, the
commission gives an emphatic denial to the
present existence of tho disease among tho
cattle of the United States. This statement
is considered important, because il might be
inferred from tho remarks of Mr. Dodson, as
quoted, that the disease which had thus been
imported from Great Britain had not been
eradicated Ample quarantine stations exist
in the districts of Boston, Mass, and Portland,
Me-, and as no contagious or infectious diseases
among the cattle of those states exist, the
possibility Of these diseases being communi-
Gated to our cattle by cattle iarriving at those
ports (Which arc the only ports on the New
England frontier where cattle are allowed to
be quarantined) is quite remote. | call
special attention to the stringent regulations
governing the quarantine of cattle, herewith
enclosed, which 90 far beyond tho scope con-
templated in the remarks attributed to Mr..
DodsOn
thing if these regulations are properly
carried out, as | assume they will be- they
will provo sufficient to guard against the
| introduction of contagious diseases by the
importation of foreign cattle at tho ports
where quarantine is established.
have the honor to request that a copy of
this letter and of its Enclosures be sent to the
British minister at this capital for the infor-
| nation of his government.
Very respectfully, ii. F. FRENCH,

Waking the nnIl by the Horns.

Tho accomplished editor Of the Louisville

has been absorbed by the great Louisville ex-
position, in the success of which THE RE-
PUBLICAN tenders its hearty congratulations,
butbusinoss is business, and when we are adver-
tscd that a certain gentleman will take GER
tain bull by the horns although there may be
an omission to announce the admission fec, and
other particulars, our Spanish proclivities
get tho better of us, and we are dying to see
the show. The tariff animal is by no means u
unicorn; he has several horns. First of all is
the great American horn, protection to Amor
ican manufacturers then comes the horn
labeled "a tariff for revenue which will fur
nish incidental protection to American man
ufactures; then the horn, "a tariff for reve-
nuo only;" then the horn free trade"
Now, our friend Watterson with his two
hands will have to grapple with all of these
horns Let him come out with tho tradi-
tional red flag and launt it boldly in the
face of the bull, and then take him by the
horns which he may prefer. We have read
lately of two cavaliers who have been worsted
in bull fights, and we cannot predict a better
SEQ what we shall see. Turn the bull out.

The Investigation of Causes of Diseases.

In Ccylon a peculiar disease affects all tho
people who use alcoholic stimulants TO excess
those who do not use them are exempt. The
lcprosy was once endemic on tho Farce

The use of a mixed and diversified diet has cx-
tinguished tho disease. Tho prevalence of
certain diseases in certain climates is well

proper sanitation and caro- Is equally as well

from lung disease in a northern than in q
