DTJBINfl THB AFTERNOON everybody was busy in fixing and adorning tieir tents, and a stroll through them, when those preparations were nearly completed, gave to the visitor an llluitra tlen of various varieties of the human kind in respect to matters of taste and home habits. While the tents were all, so far db tho exterior la concerned, pretty mnch Blike, yet, in the interior arrangemi nts they wero vastly different. In one the floor would be covered with a pretty carpot, the cot bed coverod with a snow white counterpane, and the table adorned with bouquets of natural flowers which, gathered from the woods near by, lent a charm to the scene whioh the rareBt exotics would not have glveD.

In the next would be tho reverse a bare floor and furniture to cor respond, as though the occupants were uractisinB the most austere self denial for the benefit of their souls' ihe ministers' tents being the special care of all tho sisters, were fitted up in the neatest manner with festoons of green leaves, carpets, and they certainlv had nothing to complain of. Many of the tents wero sunounded by artificial hedges of green boughj, and mounds of moss and flowers were formed around tho treeB in front. THE EXERCISES of the meeting did not commence until seven o'clock, woea me resonant tones of a largo bell through tho grove warned all that the hour had arrived for the commencement of the campaign against tho devil and all his works. Accordingly from the various tents there was a rush to the preachors' stand and auditorium, and in a snort time some fivo hundred people had assembled on tho benches under the desk, and the scone presented was somewhat solemn. The place was dimlv liohtnri by four hmps, and the swayiugtree tops overhead looked like immense spectres.

On the preachers' staud were J. P. Mcrwin, Presiding Elder, Rev. Mr. Adim Central Church, E.

Rev. Mr. King, Hunter's Point. Rev. Mr.

Ofborn, of New York, Mr. Sniiih, of Astoria, Rev. J. W. Burnhart, of Tompkins avenuo, and Rov.

About midnight some of the watchful elders who wero looking around to see everythiug right, becomo alarmed at a sound which rcBembled the growling of a wild animal.

Fearful ot the Bafety of their flocks, thoy hastened lo procure cudgelp, and bunt for tho animal. After Bomo timo they traced the sound to the polio tent, when it was found tbat Ihe noise which bo much alarmed their proceedings from one of the officers who was fearfully addictt to snoring. This explanation being satisfactory, the elders weut on their way rc joicicg.

R. m. D. TEE NAVY YARD. Xlio Bogart Court Martial Distinguished Visitors.

The trial of Bogart, the defaulting paymaster's clerk, is progreBStng at tho Navy Yard, and witnesses have been summoned for the prosecution from EuroDe and Canada. Bogart has admitted that ho borrowed 88,000 from Uncle Samuel's strong box, but denies the tailing of tho reported deficiency, and the question will be to prove who got the balance. The prisoner is accompanied (o and from the court martial room by his wife, a very ladylike person; but from iho prisoner's demeanor he hardly seems to real ize his position. The court sits with closed doorB, and the Judge Advocate Btates he cannot furnish any information to the representatives of the press. From present appearances, the oaso will be a lengtby one.

Orders have been received by the Navy Yard authorities to be ready to receive Hon. George M. Robeson, Secretary of the Navy, and Vice Admiral Potter, who are expected iu the Tallapoosa. The will visit ell tho navy yards on the Atlantic coast, and hurry up the vessels ordered to reinforce iho squadron dom duty on tbe west coast of Cuba. As soon as the low fover season is over, a large fleet will sail for that coast.

I. Fanner. A Legend op Babeek Island. A correspondent of the L.

I. Democrat relates the following piratical legend of Barren Island But we. are Btoamiug towards Barren Island, to a bar or pniDt Sometimes wo have hod it called Barn Island, why we cannot tell, perhaps on account of the number of barns which adorn its shores. The proper name is Barren Island, rightly n.imod, being almost entirely destitute of trees or shrubbery. Tue Island is now occupied by Bono Boiliug Establishments, of which wo had oil factory evidence.

Oue of the party said it was a mistake, that it was worthless, he knew that it was worth one ecmU It was on that Island that Gibbs and Wansley many years ago landed and buried their ftl gotteu treasure They wero a part of the crew of tho brig Vineyard, (from what port we do not now remember), but when near the Ifland they murdered the Captain and mate, threw them overboard, scuttled tho brig and Blurted ior tho Bhore iu two boats, principally laden with Mexican dollars; ono of the boatB wa3 swamped, either oy mismanagement or its heavy load before reaching tho shore, the other containing Gibbs and Wansloy, and a boy, landed ou the Island, and took lodgings with a Mr. Wjckoff wbo resided mere, i'huir story wub that their vessel had been wrecked, and thoy were on their way lo Now York. In tUe morning Mr. Wyckoff took hia boat and landed ihem on tbe Main Land; as soon as they landed the boy ran away, aud gave the information which led to their arrest. Upon his tstimony thay were tried, convicted and bUDg for piracy on Gibbjt Island in New York Harbor.

Some years after, a Mr. Smith of Sheepshead Bay while trying to land ou cfie Inland saw some silver dollars on tbo shore, partly covi red by the Band. Ho st raped the sand away, and was astonished to find a large hp of Mexican dollars. Ah, said he, to himself, this must bo the money that was burnd by Gibbs and Wanslev. It was known by the teetim of the boy tbat the PnateB buried tbo money ou the shore, but wbero he could nut tell, perhaps filn companions kept tbut from him, fearing that no might divulge Ihe secret, as no" doub', they intended to return and iiut the money, for they could not havo taken much with theni, on account of its weight.

Sm th loaded bis boat and went home. Noxt morning he started for more treasure; telling his to keep the secret, not lo tell a UviDg soul. Of course ebe wouldn't She conld keep a secret. But as soon as bor ausband was eut of fight, woman's prooi nsl'y prevailed. Cho news was loo good to keep.

She told it in confidence (of coutbi to her nearest neighbor. The news Kpread hue firo throat'h dry stubblo, and beforo nipht Mr. 9 bad plenty of help. The next day tbere was a iteneral statu pede lor the Pirates' Treasure. Parties from CinnrslB and (he neighboring villages jolnrd in thn searoa one geniltman from Jamaioa got one of the dollars.

The looal mili tary affairs are not in a very satisfactory state, the Fifth Brigade is in anything but a state of harmony, the trouble growing out of the va cancy the Brigadier Generalship caused by the retirement of General Crooke. There are several aspirants for the position, but no one seems to command the requisite strength to secure the position. This uncertain state of affairs has resulted in the resignation of the Colonels of all four of the Regiments, Jourdan of the Thirteenth, Fowler of the Fourteenth, Urban of the Twenty eighth, Cropsey of the Seventieth. The resignation of the latter has not been accepted on account of some infor mality, and he is as senior Colonel in com mand of the Brigade. It is alleged that disap pointed parties dissatisfied with the Gov ernor's appointment of a Division commander have fomented this trcuble and hope to break up the present organization.

The best policy for those who wish to defeat this soheme would be to elect a Brigadier commander at once and end the trouble. The word "coffin seems to be falling out of use. Every report or description of a funeral we read says that the remains of the deceased were enclosed in a "casket." According to Webster the word "casket" means a small box or ohest to keep jewels or other small articles. We use the words box, chest and trunk to describe various modifications of the wooden packing case, while the word casket was generally understood to mean a jewelry case. If, the undertakers succeed in adopting the word into the vocabulary of their profession it will lose its original significance.

The word coffin nny have an omimous sound, but the word casket, if commonly substituted for it, will soon become, from the force of association, just as significant, Some euphemistic substitutes may be found for hearse and funeral; the undertakers may adopt a new and livelier title, as purveyors of caskets, and something might be done to soften the sever ity of the gravedigger. If fine words can lessen the gloom of the grave, or mitigate the affliction of the bereaved, we should not grudge them the consolation though it cause philological confusion, and necessitate a revision of our dictionaries. TOPICS OF TO BAY. Sing Man and Choy Chew are coming to New York, and will no doubt be handsomely enter tained by those politicians who think they can make anything in notoriety or other capital by tho act of hospitality. A reporter of the press has taken the trouble to translate the names of tho Celestial guests.

Tho first is Anglicised as Beneficent Dragon a paradox of nomenclature. The other is rendered into English as Agreeable Associations a grim satire on his countrymen's experience of life in San Francisco. The London press remarks on the rejection of Haggerty as United States Consul at Glasgow The Conservatives approve it, and the Libera journals justify the action of the British govern ment on the Ground of Haggerty's Fenianism. Motley has appointed Eastman, of Queenstown, Consul pro tern. Since the organization of the present Adminis tration public interest in naval affairs ha3 been confined to two things.

The first was the re onris tening of the ships of war by Secretary substituted for the familiar local and Indian names those of the British Admiralty, Hebrew history and ancient mythology. The second thing is the substantial restoration of their old names to the vessels by Secretary Robeson. As the first act aroused general indignation so the last commands unqualified approval. It should be said in justice to Mr. Borie that the freak of nomenclature was the work of Admiral Porter.

The act of he Secretary of the Navy and the fact that Porter has been ordered abroad indicate a purpose on the part of RobeBon to run his department himself. Wednesday, AuguBt 25tb, has been appointed as the day for the Harvard Oxford race. The American rowers continue to practice daily on the Thames, and their performances are the sub ject of varied criticism. The river loungers and the betting men are gaining more respect for tho Harvard style, and the odds in favor of the Englishmen have rapidly decreased. The Queen has given her assent to the bill for tho purchase of the English telegraph lines, and the measure is therefore a law.

Hereafter, the telegraphic like the mail business will be controlled by the Government. Whether the change will be a public benefit or involve an annoying monopoly depends, of course, upon its manage ment. The experiment will be regarded with in terest in thid country, where the adoption of a like system has been urged. The short run of the Sappho across the Atlan tic promises well for her success in whatever contests with foreign yachts may be in reserve for her. Her time from Now York to Queenstown was 12 dayB, 9 hours, and 86 minutes.

I The restless Carliets refuse to remain sup pressed. They are gathering in large numbers in the northern districts of Spain, and a great demonstration, for which the Government is making anxious preparation, is expected on the 15th inst. Austrian Premier Van Beust is getting a reputation as the great speech maker of Europe. He delivers more addresses explaining the political situation, and pacifying tho popular mind, than all the other Continental statesmen combined. And in vagueness of generalities none can surpass him.

He made another speech the other day, saying that Trance was friendly, and that "the policy of Austria was one of domestic not foreign alliances" one of those profound remarks which are assumed to mean a great deal because nobody can see that they mean anything. The veteran Colonel Dodd, who broke ground for the new New York PoBt Office the other day, may have the job to do over again. Mullett is in favor of changing the site. Sluilett is the Government architect, and he conferred with a committee of the Common Council yesterday. He thinks that by going further up the Park toward the City Hall a handsomer and cheaper building may be had.

Mullett says the Government has no desire in the matter except to ploase the people. The people, however, since the Aldermen are concerned in the matter, take it for granted that a swindling job is involved, and in view of their experience the people can't be blamed for the assumption. The progress of three cable enterprises is recorded to day. The British fleet has been ordered to co operate with the American in laying and protecting a wire along the coast of China. This line is under American control.

An offer to establish a line from Lisbon and Gibraltar to England and America, without subsidy, in consideration of a twenty years' monopoly, has been made by a French company. A company has been organized in Copenhagen for tho purpose of laying a cable from northern Europo, by way of the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Greenland, to America. The London Times adviceB Spain to get rid of Cuba for a consideration if possible, but at all events to get rid of it. The Times says that Prim's government, although the bast that Spain can have just now, iB "improvident and helpless," and cannot afford to have its resources drawn upon by a costly Cuban struggle. Tho trial of the Wall street usurers came to an end yesterday in tho New York Court of Oyer and Terminer.

Judge Cardozo sentenced th3 prisoners to the payment of fines ranging from $250 to SG00 and to imprisonment for terms of from five to ten days. Most of them paid their fineB and were discharged. The sudden arrest and punishment of citizens for uncondemncd aots of everyday occurrence isja curiosity of criminal law. The proceeding will not be without use if it recalls attention to the absurdity of the uaury statutes and results in legislation that shall leave money, like every other article, to find its own market value, and remove all restrictions from traffic in it. The Legislature might as well fix tho price of dry goods or groceries as regulate tho rate of charge for the use of money.

One of the New York papers begins its report of the proceedings of the Woman's Suffrage Association with this statement: "No business of any importance was transacted at the regular meeting of thia Association yesterday afternoon." This might be stereotyped for use on every like occasion beoause it happens that there never is business of any importance whatever transacted at these curious meetings. Another account has it that there were present "between thirty and forty ladies in faultless garb," who were presided over by Mrs. Henry B. Stanton. This is tho aWowne's method of orushing Mrs.

E. Cady, and it was this insult added to many injuries that brought upon the miserable Greeley the terrible vengeance of the Association. Essays were read by Mrs. Wilbour and Mrs. Blake and so affected Susan Anthony that she lifted up her voice and wept.

This was a womanly and therefore unpardonable weakness that should not be tolerated. If a leader of the movement, permits herself to be dissolved in tears tho speedy and complete demoralization of the feminine tank and file is aeeured. the force; wbllo he had become known to a largo num ber of ho comfituaity as on affable and obliging officer.

Cross, SARATOGA. Thoughts of the Social Lite ThereThe Knees of Yesterday Gossip about Sportingr and Sporting men.

Special Correspondence of the Eaole. Sahatooa, Aug. 10 I have come to the sage conclusion, that the staple amusement this place Is betting. Men, who would be intensely shocked, if they were told, that they naa Deen Known to bet In the city, risk their money on horses and on everything else that affords the slightest opportunity. Never make an assertion in Saratoga, waiyou are not morally certain you oan not prove, They don't argue in Saratoga, they make an assertion and if it is questioned, lay ten to five it's so.

If you refuse to bet, then your opponent is right and you are wrong. The one that bets the highest is richt It mav be that you will urge that you are principled againBt betting. The very bst thing that you Bhould do. They will stare at at you and then say, "why you're in Saratoga." Its a sort of a dumping place for the they come once a year, to cast off the vices that have been accumulating for a year. A man may got uruntt here, and his reputation will not suffer In the leas He may bet high on a horse race or a game, and though it is well known In Saratoga, it will never be heard of in New York or Brooklyn.

Here Adolphus may tnlk with Aspasla; even walk with her on the hotel piazza, and not one of his lady friends would think wrong. It's a curious query what would be the result of such a course of procedure on Fifth avenuo or the "Park A cut dead and direct for ever after. Saratoga is a sort of charmed place, where vices appear to be virtues; where wickedness may bo indulged in and shaken off with dust of the place, without any contaminating after results. I sometimes think if a man can think iu this whirl of excitement that there is something in the atmosphero surrounding Saratoga, tbat puts a new being into a man that he leaves his proper being on the confines of the place, and resumes it only as he leaves it. I wonder if the persons who spends month or two in the dissipations of the Springs, have any conscientious scruples after they return to the city In the autumn.

If tbey do aot then my theory is rieht and those who enter into all the pleasures ol the Springs are not accountable. It may be the effects of the water, who knows I refrained from drinkiDg any water, until I was prevailed upon, in an unguarded moment to taBte it, and I had not stepped twenty feet from the spring, when I bet ten dollars that Vauxhall would win tbe race to day, and by tho way, the curious antics of that horse, together with bis sudden breaking down is the great subject of conversation to night at all the hotels. VAXTXHAXIi. It is said tbat Vauxhall is ruined for ever more. That his day as a race horse is over that a turfman would not give twenty five cents for him.

McConnell and Thompson, the owners, have won much by him but now they will never be able to win another Not a week ago they were offered $12,000, but they laughed scornfully at the idea of selling him for such a price. To day I suppose they would give all their old boots and Bhoea if the offer id been accepted. Those who assume to be posted Bay that tho horse broke down in the near fore leg, the back tendons giving way. There has been an enormous amount of money lost on him. Beforo the start, the odds were at the rato of $500 to $100, and finally Dr.

Underwood had to leave him out of the pools and sell between the other two General Yorke and Abdelkadee. This DB. UNBEBWGOD is making piles of money at pool selling, and he is al most as much of a celebrity as Hon. John Morrlssey is here. He's a little fellow, with a pleasant, red faoe, and queer, cracked voice, and who seems completely wrapped up in his business.

The expression of his face is his stock in trade. And when he has sold a pool he looks so pleased that yon feel like buying half a dozen more just to encourage him. He's an excellent seller, BtateB what he wants to Bay bo cloarly that you make no mistakes, and has a faculty of avoiding and putting to an end all disputes. It is said that since he has been in Saratoga he has sold $1,000,000 in pools, aud his per ccntaee 1b 23f. which would make him S25.U00 better off in pocket than he was when he landed at the unltBS he has been "doing somothmg" himself and come out of the wrong nd of the horn, which latter contingency is extremely doubtful, for there are few men better posted upon tho merits of horsoa than this some little doctor.

Tha Atlautio boys of your city, who were here yesterday, say he is the first man who evor eotd pools on a ball match. He is making his hay while the buu shines. Yesterday the pools were heaay. Some years ago there was hardly a sporting event of any magnitude to transpire but the report was that JOHN MOBBISSEY had enormous sums bet upou it. Now, it iB Baid, Hon.

John very rarely bets on anything. What haB been the occoBion of this change of report I have endeavored to find out, but without avail. Tbere has been one thing that I have found out, and that is that ho controls the sporting world here, and for the last fiva weixa all manner of sporting has been the thing that haB engaged the attention of the visitors, and leads me to devote this letter to sporting matters. He takos charge of all the races, and seems to resolve himself into a chief of constables. It is stated that it waa at his in stance that the two ball clubs were brought to Saratoga.

HIb houses are tho headquarters of tho sporting world, and why or how it is that the report should have gained ground that he had drawn out of tho sporting world is unaccountable. It waB through him that tho trotting match between Mountain Boy and Lady Thorn, which is lo come oil on Friday, arranged. Iu this TROTTING MATCH Mountain Boy Is the favorite, atrauge to say. But tho old heads who follow their own ideas are taking the odds against the Boy. The course haB been pickod for ho runniDg races, and will require a great deal of roll ing before it can be got into condition for trotting, between this and Friday.

It Is a fine course, and it is to he hoped that it will be in. fluo condition. But if it is turfmen argue that the chances will be in favor of the old maro. They Bay that it will bring out the lasting qualities of the Lady, and will be severe on tho Boy. There is a great deal of excitement about the race, and tho betting even now is very heavy.

Sam McLaughlin has been here for somejtimowith the Boy, and Dan Pilfer and Lady Thorn came up on the Sunday night boat, and arrived at Saratoga on Monday morning. Tho two drivers exercise their horses early in the morning, before the world is up. Now I've gossiped enough about sporting and sport ing men, arid I will close this day's instalment with a Brief account of the races of to day. THE HANDICAP RACE, which was the first and for a purse of $S0O, one mila and three quarters, had six entries: Corsican, 112 pounds; Nemesis, 105 pounds; Sanford, 108 pounds; Julius, 111 pounds; and Sleety and Viley, 107 pounds each. Corsican waa the favorite.

At ihe start Nemesis, Sleety and Sanford had the boat of it, but at the half mile pole Corsicau showed ahead, and having obtained the lead kept it unto the end, and the horses oame in in the following order: snsnsiABV.

The first happened on Monday evening to a laboring man named Miohael Arthur, aged twenty six year, at tha foot of Oak. traet; the next occurrence waa on yesterday to George Riohards, a boy aged six yeaxe, who while playing about a raft foot of Kent street Jell off into deep water and was seen no more by his companlana; The bodlea of the riqtima iu both oases hv aot yet Deen recovered.

He cane uotf to witness that because he thinks it right for him to control these Sus quehanna people's railroad, he will insist on getting its control.

These Susquehanna farmers have built a railroad for their local traffic. Fisk sees how he could make money on iby making it part of a vast railroad monopoly, and he will, at the risk of the public peace, or publio decency, compel it to surrender to him, The interest of the poople is that private prop erty snouia oe inviolate its owners' and creators' hands; that local rail roads should flourish in peaoeful business rivalry, not be all engrossed in Wall street monopoly; that the processes of our Court should be the safeguard of property the instruments for compelling the weak to be devoured by the strong. Fisk's end and his means are alike odious to the publio moral 'sense and repulsive to the interests of the people. Heretofore riots have been of the loafers against property and decency. Now the riot is instigated by enormous wealth, fostered by the Supreme Judges of the State, and designed to build up a colossal monopoly by swallowing the indi vidual and local investments of the Susque hanna counties.

Every instinct of publio de cenoy stamps this riot as worse in its inoep tion, means and design, than any that lawless proletarianism ever begot. Last Veer's City Growth, The continued growth of Brooklyn, as ex hibited in the Assessors returns of new build ings erected within the year ending July 31st, is gratifying to all who have faith in the future of our great city. Twenty six hundred new houses, occupied as city houses are in these times, indicate an addition to our population of at least thirty thousand people, within the past twelve months. And this is swelled by the large number of new buildings which have gone up at East New York and all the other suburbs immediately outside the city line. The New York journals with few ex ceptions have made during the past Spring what seems almost like a concerted attack on Brooklyn.

Jersey and Westchester they ap. pear to have no fear of but in order that peo ple may be deterred from coming to Brook lyn to live, they publish the most gloomy fore bodings and the most wildly exaggera ted statements, respecting the burden of taxes in Brooklyn, and the lavish outlay for local government aud improvements. No reader of the Eagle will ever be at a loss for material wherewith to confute such representations. Our city's tax rate must ever be an apparently high one, compar ed with that of New York, because there, per sonal property exists in vast amount to reduce the burden on real estate. But the actual relative burden must ever be less in Brooklyn.

A man who wants to build or buy a four story and basement brown stone front, or any other sort of house, knows that he can get the same article in Brooklyn, in a higher and healthier location, at the Bame timo distance from Wall street or the Astor House, for one third of the money here that he would have to pay up town in New Tork. Conse quently, even if his tax percentage be a little higher in Brooklyn than in New York, he knows that our local government will not ask him for nearly as much money, dollar for dollar, every year, as will that of New York. Any man that lives in Brooklyn pays far less tax on his house than another man pays on a similar house in New York, no more near and accessible to the cen tre of business. But it is not the annual tax that is everything. By living in this city a New York business man enjoys the most pleasant travel to and from home the most salubrious residence for his family, the best school and church and social advantages, and every attraction which can make city habitation agreeable.

Tho winds of adverse criticisms on Brooklyn, by journals whose conductors live in Westchester and want to build up that section at the expense of Brooklyn, are as futile to deter sensible men from coming to Brooklyn to live, as they would be to stop a ferry boat from crossing the river. The City of Churches offers purer air, better water and drainage, and ere long will be able to offer a finer park and better approaches to it, tban New York can boast. The steady maintenance of the rapid rate of our city's growth, encourages every Brooklynite to labor in his sphere for the still further progress of the city and the Eagle, as the recognized exponent of Brooklyn institutions aud ideas, while congratulating our citizens upon the record of the past, is able more confidently than ever to expect and predict the time when our population shall exceed that of ihe sister city, and when Brooklyn will be universally conceded to be the model of the great cities of the world. 'JTfcc Health Commission Sinocnrists. These leeches of the city treasury are getting ashamed of their impudent demand that they shall be largely paid for serving the public, and yet occupy their time in carrying on their private practice as before.

One of them, Dr. Stone, explains through this morning's Sun, that he is willing to compromise. He objected to being detained at tho Health Commission meeting on Saturday, ''merely because a the session had been called in the morning, at an hour when physicians are expected by their patients. He is willing to serve the public faithfully as a Health Commissioner, but thinks that his services can be rendered the afternoon as well as in the morning." Waafc is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander." These Health Commissioners ejected Dr. Conkling from his position under them in this city, and Dr.

Dalton from the Superintendency in New York, because they would not consent to abandon their private practice and devote their whole time to the duties of their office. Why should not the Medical Commissioners have the same rule applied to them whioh they applied to the Medical Superintendents The cities have just as much right to Dr. Stone's daytime, and Dr. Crane's, as they had to the working hours of Dr. Conkling and Dr.

Dalton. EveTy hour of the business period of the day that these Dr. Commissioners withhold from the publio service is an abstraction from the people of what has been bought and paid for. Mr. Lincoln in some degree atones for the Legislative imposition in which this Health Commission took its birth, by devoting his best abilities to earning his salary as a Commissioner.

But tneso doctor colleagues of his, who draw their salaries punctually yet un blushingly repudiato their public duties in order to pursue their private medical practice, add insult of the public of these cities to the injury which tho creation of such a Commission has inflicted upon the right of municipal self government. To have local authority nnd office conferred on men whom the people nover elected is bad enough; but to have these mea openly avowing themselves Binecurists and declaring that they will not give up their private business to discharge the public duties they have assumed, and for whioh they are so largely paid, is wor3e still. What would be thought if Oakey Hall refused to attend at the New York City Hall until after he had spent the best part of the day in oarrying on his law business? Yet this would be but tho parallel to the impudent demand of the Health Commission doctors, that they shall be allowed to follow their private practice as long as they have any, and in return for the extravagant salaries, patronage and authority they have thrust themselves into possession of, they shall only be required to give the public such fag ends of their time and attention as they can spare from their professional pursuits. An ordinary lawyor politioian is usually greedy and unoonsoiable enough in dealing with the publio, but these medical politicians of the Health Commission seem to have reduced leeching of the treasury to a scientifio system. Judging from this Health Board, it is a meroy for the tax payers that but few medioal gentlemen get into looal The Btccont Revenue fnstructlous Criticlsms by a Taxpayer.

MadeottVAtOHELOR'S WIG AOTOBY, Bond st Hew York, ftpAQtf P.M&W Meeting ot Spiritualists at OTadamo Clifford's Booms Last Evenlnar Who Went There and What Was Done A Very Vounff medium and Two Old Spirits, Last night what was termed a spiritualistic seance was given at the room of MadameT31lHord, No.

16 Mvrtle avenue. If the spirits did their level best on (hat occasion they are certainly very much behind the age, and bad bettor leave tbo realms of spaoe or where ever else it is they live, and come back to earth for the pnrposo of learning a few smart tricks from Houdtn Anderson or some other first class professor ef the con. juror's art Broobljnltea have occasionally been in duced to attend exhibitions whioh proved a delusion and a snwe, but none of them ever proved so ntterly de void of merit as the one of last evening. The seances of the Davenport Brothers were generally very inter. estiDg, but those enterprising Individuals at last let tbe cat out of the bag, and took the publio into tbelr confidence by not only explaining but actually showing how they had contrived to humbug weak minded poo pie Into the belief that disembodied spirits were their intimate associates and most obedient servants, Of course everybody said, "Why, of oouraa we knew it was humbug all along;" but for all that, quite a respea table minority secretly trembled whenever the Daven ports got Into their cabinet and the hubbnb oommeao ed.

It waB a knotty subject, and a good many old maids of both sexes thought there must be something in it. So there was, though not spiritual agency, but a considerable amount of talent, oheek, and ingenuity, which served to render the entertain meats very interesting until tbe seoret was divulged, and tben of course it lost its charm. The seance of last evening was a very eeblo imitation of the tricks of the Davenport Brothers, and, strange to say, about eighty persons not only paid to see, or rather hear them per formed, but went away apparently very well pleased with the entertainment. The rooms are rather small, and were evidently never Intended to be need forauy such purpose as that of last evening. Among the audience wero about twenty la dies, two of whom carried babies in their arms.

Some of the ladies were young and pretty and others wero vice versa. The old and middle aged ladles were evi dently strong minded members of the sex. They were personifications of primness and precision, and to them Spiritualism was evidently a solemn fact, to be spoken of with reverence, and investigated with fear and trembling. The younger ladies wero in a most delight ful state of perplexity, didn't know whether to giggle or look solemn, and so did both alternately. The male members of tho audience consisted very largely of "un believers," bnt scattered among them were a few long haired, sunken eyed, putty complexloned individuals who announced themselves as being out and out Spiritualists.

Judging from the rosy hue at the extremity of their nasal oiguuB they were the most ardent kind of Sl llilUllllBlS. THE SEANCE so csllfd commenced shortly before nine o'clock. The rconis wero then lull and as the spirits who were to operate had a strong objection to doing bo except ia tho dark, it was necessary not only to pat oat the lipht but also to close tho windows and Bhutters and pull down the blinds. The doors were shut and bolted and then tho atmospboro became so vitiated and stifling that some of tbe audience expressed the opinion that the boat could not be very much greater where the worst Mud of spirits are supposed to be located. At the upper end of the room was a large round ta ble on which was the paraphernalia to be used by the spirite.

There were too guitars, two speaking tramp. ots, a number of bells of different sizes, several iron hoops or rings, a triangle, and a few pieces of rope. The master of ceremonies was, Harry Bastian, a younff looking maD, who announced that a youth apparently about Bixteen years of aRe named DeWitt 0. Hougb, who was sitting on the left hand side of the table, was the medium through whom the spirits would mumfeat their presence. The medium thereupon smiled at the audience, and tho audience stared at the medium.

Mr. Bastian went on to state that the medi um was very young, that he had come from Hartford and was very sensitive. The medium did a little more In the way of smillcg, and Bhifted about on hla chair in a very uneasy sort of manner more especially as the audience stared at him harder tban ever on hearing that he was very nervous and sensitive. Before turning off the gas, Mr. Bastian announced that a committee of two should be appointed by the audience to see that all was fair and above board.

Mr. CharleB Asbby nominated Henry Van Wagner, one of the most efficient members of the detective force, aB a very proper person to serve on that committee. The nomination was seconded and carried unanimously, but Harry refused to assume the responsibility, and got out of the difficulty by nominating as his substitute Mr, F. A. Brockway, of the Now York Eerald.

Not being able to get a detective to serve on the committee, the audience evidently thought the next best person would be a reporter, so Mr. Brockway's nomination was unanimously confirmed. Mr. John Sorrell was the other member of the committee. Mrs.

Stoddert, the mother of the medium, was then provided with a box of matches, and mouuted a bench placed directly under the gas burner, for tho purpose of throwing some light on the subject wben the spirits desired it. Mr. Bastian hope no person In the audience would spring a dark lantern after the gas was turned out, and that all would conduct tbemselvss with propriety. Ho then invited the Committee to inspect the apparatus and the table. Mr.

Sorrell took up the guitars, and peeped inside. Ho gueBsed there were no spirits there, and after Mr. Brockway had produced a very dismal sound, half way between a grunt and a roar, by blowing through ihe trumpets, everything was pronounced to be all right, and out went tbe gas. One of the trumpets was heard to move, and through it came the announcement that tho spirits desired the Committee to bind the medium and'Mr. Bastian.

Mrs. Stoddert lighted the gas, and the Committee went to work to comply with the request of the spirits. The medium was tied up by Mr. Sorrel while Mr. Brockway performed the same office for Mrl Basllan.

Between them was ihe table containing the articles already mentioned, and when the tying process was complofed to the satisfaction of the Committeo and tho gas was again turned out and the man. festations commoncod. From that time for upwards of an hour the gas waB lighted at intervals of from five to ten minutes, to show what tho spirits had been do ing. Sometimes the rings wero on the medium's arms, at others the ropo was untied and only his wrists secured. Then the guitar would be thrummed, tho bolls rung, and other noises heard, all of which it was asserted wero spiritual manifestations.

Mr. Bastian an. nounced that if any one present would play a tune on the guitar the spirits would play tho accompaniment either with the bolls or tho triangle. Some ono stated that Mr. Brockway was a very accomplished performer on that instrument, but on its boiDg banded to him he dropped it as though it had been tho veritable hot potatoo of which so niuoh ha been heard, and protested that it was quite a mistake, he had never done such a thing in his life, and if he knew Mb own mind, didn't think he ever should.

Mr. Bastian camo to the rOEcue, by proposing to do the thrumming himself. His proposition was agreed to, and being unbound he played the air, but the minuteB glided and the spirits failed to give the promised accompaniment. At last, however, when everybody was nearly siifled for want of air, and completely out of patience, (he largest boll was rung, and tho accompaniment sounded vory like a summons to dinner at a third class boarding house. At the close of tbe entertainment the two spirits, who it was supposed had been producing the manifestations, returned thanks to the audience, by talking in a whisper through the speaking trumpets.

One said his name was Fox, and the other, in a very masculine tone of voice, said she was an old maid of tho name of May, and hoped to bo lu better health when next bub had (he honor of meeting bo refined and appreciative an audience. That closed tho entertainment, which was certainly one of tbo shallowest and most flimsy affairs of the kind ever gotten up by those who profess to believe in spiritual manifestations.

A Patrolman of tno metropolitan Po lice Fatally Crushed at Hamilton Ferry. Patrolman John A. Brannigan, of the Forty third Precinct, while on duty at his acou9tomad post, at Hamilton ferry, at Ualf pust tares o'clock yesterday afternoon, was almost instantly killed, by a melanoholy accident, which deprived the Metropolitan Polioe of a fuiihful and efficient officer, and left his wife in widowhood surrounded by four fatherless children.

Tbe unfortunate officer was assisting In the embarkation of vehicles and passengers upon a boat about to start for New York, when a truok laden with a heavy spar entered the gBteway, but tho boat being then filled, and having no accommodation for tho truok, its driver, a boy, was ordered to back out of the ferry houao. In order to ncilltate the movement, the officer seized hold of the end of the spar and assisted by pushing. The truck had been nearly oleared from the gateway when the horses started suddenly in a direction that threw tho officer against one of the posts of the gate, and drove an iron shod end of the spar against his breast with terrible force. He was quickly extricated by the ferry man, and conveyed to the neighboring saloon of Nicholas Murphy, whers he died in thirty five minutes. Ho was conscious, though speechless from the time of tho accident until His body waB taken to bia wife and family at his late residence, where an inquest will be held by Coroner Jones.

Patrolman John A. Brannigan, joined the Municipal Police about twelve and ono half years ago, and was transferred to the Metropolitan force at tho time of ita organization. He had been stationed at Hamilton ferry, durlDg tbo tbiee years rior to hla untimely end, aud had been instrumental lu saving several Uvea at hla noat WJEDJVJESIAY EVEIViIV, AirOlfAT II. Thia papor has tbo fcargast Otroala on of any Evening papor published in tho United States. Its value as tan fflodlam is therefore ap pnrtmt.

How Public Men oro Flattered end misled When it bocomes the duty of the press to censure high officials for an apparently aris tooratio or imperial tondenoy, as for instance in the tibo of a government vessel to oonvey the President and party in royal state from Washington to Long Branch, some allowance should be made for the ohiefs, on account of the incessant flattery and promptings to arrogance to which they are exposed on the part of their subordinates. Consider. mg now every office holder that has patronage or contraots to dispense is surrounded by a tribe of sycophantic office seekers and spoilsmen, willing to eoho his most absurd off hand suggestions, and to flatter and fool him to the top of his bent, it is really surprising mat onr great men politics do not oftener forget that after all they are but mortal. In the course of Grant's four years' term, how often will he hear one single frank, outspoken sentence of warn ing or advice He may read the papers, find some praising him, as he must feel, beyond his deserts, and more denouncing him. But for every one word of reproof he Bees in a newspaper there will be tencourtiers around so expiam it away and assure him it repre sents no genuine popular feeling, but only the private griefs and disappointments of some office seeking editor.

The same thing is true in a measure of every politician below the President, who has the means of making or marring other men's fortunes. Go to our own City Hall, and how many men are there who make a business of throDging the ante rooms of every influential local politician, flattering him and lying about his rivals, and distorting and magnifying every little word that may or may not have been uttered by others respecting nim. livery man power sees the progress of public affairs', not correctly, as the critical observer and disinterested outsider sees it, but through a false atmos pnere ot lies about others, flattery of himself, and misrepresentation of public sentiment. That which is the common city talk abouta public man or a measure he meditates, he is often necessarily the only man that never hears. Considering how sounousthe atmosphore in which a man of influence and power exists, it is a marvel, not that prominent men err so often, but that they do not err oftener.

Illustrations of the errors into which public men are led by the horde of satellites thi.t surround them, might be supplied daily, both as regards local and federal politics. The most notable one of the day consists in Secretary Boufcwell's refusal to comply with Colled tor Grinnell's demand that the names of the men removed from Custom House situations, and of those appointed in their stead, should be kept secret from the public press. M. Grinnell has only been in office three or 'four months, yet he has become so mentally enfeebled by living in the atmosphere of official adulation, that he has already forgotten that the people are the employers and masters of his official superiors and of him. He absolutely believes that it would be a right and politic step for Secre tary Uoutwell to help him keep from the the American people a knowledge of names and numbers of the agents are being employed to do their busi that ness.

The reason he assigns for his remark ably absurd request for secrecy is that in some instances when the names of iiis appointees have been published the newspapers have commented on tbem and alleged them to be unfit men. The Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Kichardson, meets this allegation by the sensible remaak that no man who is fit to hold an office "need be ashamed to see his name in print; and if his character is not good, this is an excellent way to find it out." While he was about it the Assistant Secretary ought also to have reminded Mr. Grinnell that it is not only thus better for the department that the names should be published so as to prevent bad men from being appointed, but that the public have a right to know who they are paying, and what for. In this city the names of employees of the city government proper have been repeatedly obtained and published.

The result is that the heads of departments exercise more care in their selections than they would if under the cover of secresy the? could appoint as many unfit people as they please, to do as little as they choose to do. One of the greatest objections to special Commissions is the secresy with which they carry on affairs, as for aught the public can learn there may be any number of dead heads fattening upon the tax payers' earnings. We h9ve had occasion, and expect to have vastly more, to censure the Grant administration; but we are also resolved to speak approvingly of every one of its acts which deserves credit. And nothing that has yet transpired is more honorable to the Treasury department, under Mr. Boutweli.

than its rofusal to lend itself to Collector Gnnnell's silly and senseless proposal to keep the names of public appointees a Eecret from the people. In this city, should the President or head of any department or Commission, attempt to act on Mr. Grinnell's idea, the Eagle would soon find means to elicit the required information in spite of him and there is no doubt that the Custom House ippointmont, would have been found out. even had the Treasury Department acceded to Mr. Grinnell's attempt to keep them secret.

A wise public man well understands that his true friends are those who deal frankly with him, and who counsel him to ever deal frankly with the public. In tempting the Treasury Department to commit a grave blunder, Mr. Grinnell has merely shown what an error they committed in giving so important an appointment to so shortsighted aud blundering a personage as himself. The Riot ilia Courts, The trouble about the Susquehanna railroad has become serious. The Sheriffs of all the counties from Albany to Broame have turned out with their posses, agreeably to the order given by the New York Courts on behalf of Fisk.

The Albany Court? have enabled the Directors of the road to embody an opposition force, and the two parties have come into armed collision tunnel near Harporsville. So was the threatened breach at the serious of the peace that Gov. Hoffman had to be fetched from Saratoga, and he issues a proclamation declaring that if the interruption in public travel continues, and the tumult, riot and resistance to authority is imminent, I will de claro the whole district affected to be in a state of insurrection, and will take possession and control of the road, and to that end, if necessary, will call out the whole military force of the State." The whole of this serious trouble, which may yet culminate in something like civil war in the State, is caused, by the uncalled for interference of the State Judiciary with the officers of railroad who were peacefully pursuing their ordinary avocation Is it not time for the Judges of our State to cast professional etiquette aside, and do something to redeem fbeir hitheito venerated and unspotted order from the burning disgrace which is now affixed to it in the conversation of every two citizens who discuss this leading topic of the day? They all know that it is the stretch and abuse of judicial authority, the perversion of the Supremo Court to the furtherance of rival slock jobbing speculations, which to day convulses the intorior counties of the State. They can rebuke the wrong doers, they can restore peace in the Valley of the busquehan they can forever prevent the recurrence of such disgraceful scenes, by laying down rules which will express the combined opinion of the Benoh of the State in regard to the danger and mischief resulting from the issuing of injunctions and orders upon ex parte applications, when no imminent peril can reasonably be apprehended from postponing any action until both parties can be heard.

James Fisk junior has issued a card designed to vindioate his action in the premises. Of all bis bold deeds this is the Fall Description of the Affair Kill es, Regulations, dec. Special Correspondence of tho Eagle. Mebbiok, Aug. 10.

Deae Eagle The Great Gamp Meeting of tbe Methodist Churches of Long Mum), commenced here tc here am your Special Correspondent, on tbe ground and writing thia oplstle on a rough doaj table which forms portion of "The Brooklyn Board ing Tent" while all around me is heard beneath the wondrous hum of tbo wiud among tbe swaying oak teavep, the busy dia ot preparations. Tenia ato log put up and trees are being cut by to morrow, this place, which a week or two since, was a wood which knew of little save tbe annual recurrence of the seasons, and tbe sough of ihe wind through the trees, will be covered with all the transient accessories of civilised Ufa and resounding with songs of praise, and words of earnest exhortation. But before giving your readers any minute descrip tion of the scene which is presented here, a few words aa to THE OEIOrN AND INCEPTION of tho affair, which is from present appearances likely to assume larger proportions than any similar affair ever htld on the Island, will not be out of place. The Idea of having a general Camp Meeting at which all the churches on the Island would be represented, was first broached in Spring last, in the Sands street Mothodlst Chnrcn, and aoon after tho movement took such form that in the early part of March, a meetiDg waa hold in the same cburcb, at which there were present representatives from sixty different churches iu Brooklyn, and elsewhere. There the plan of affair was definitely decided upoD, and the following gentlemen wero ap pointed a Board of Trustees to manage tbe affair: i.

After "prospecting" around for some weeks the Com mittee on Ground finally decided on the grove at Merrick as the best place for tbe affair, and about two weekB since the work of preparation commenced. THE QBOVE consists of some fifty acres of wooded land thickly cov ered with Bniall trees, for the most part whlto oak. is ituated about thrte quarters of a mile from the vil lage of Merrick, and is bounded on the south by a high way running from Bmithvdle to Grtonwich, on the northwest by Well Neck road, on the west by a pleasant running stream which finds its outlet in tho South Bay, una on me eaBt ny larm lands belonging to different persons. It is almost perfectly level, and high enough to rejoice in a continual sea breeze, which rustlos pleas antly through the trees. It is the intention of the Trustees of the present camp meeting if they can ar range matters to the satisfaction of their constituents to purchase this grove as a permanent place for tho holding of annual camp meetings by the Methodiet Churchea on Long Island.

Tae price asked by the own ers for it is $15 per acre, but it is possible that the land may be purchased for less than that amount, inas much as It may, unless bought for this purpose, remain a long time profitless on tho hands of its present ownerB. So much for the preliminaries, and now for a hasty description of the Hcane it presented iteelf to i your correspondent thia morning on his arrival. Taking tho cars of the South Side Railroad at a quarter pas ten A. after a pleas ant and comfortable ride of an hour and three quarters through a pleasant country alternating handsome villas and comfortable farm houses, tae train reached "Merrick," which is the last station on the route, at high noon. Drawn up iu line by the Bide of the railroad track, were some twelve or fourteen country all provided with seats, more or less comfortable, on which the excursionists were to be conveyed to tha ground.

These wagons pay each a license of $5 to tho committee in charge of the ground, and are compelled to take passengers between the station and the grove at tho rate of ten cents each. Any charge over this amount to a passenger violates the agreement, and the wagoner loses his license, which, as wagons not licensed are not allowed to enter tho camp grounds, would be an afflic tion not much deBlred by the farmers who own tho wagons, to whom a dollar looks as lurge as a cart wheel and the loss of five would bo an infliction never to ba forgotten. Taking one of these wagons, which was driven by a nice looiiiDg boy who said he was from abjloD, arid in company with two. cute looking lads from Brooklyn, your correspondent started on his way to the grove. On the way he got into conversation with the two youths who were his companions on the wagon.

Having ascertained that thoy were on their way to the camp meeting, your correspondent remark ed to the oldest looking of the two. who did not by the way appear to bo more than twelve years of age, "Wat. my boy, I suppose you have prepared your mind for a good deal of praying during yonrutay. His reply was characteristic of the "Doy of tho period." "No Bir said he. "Dad is down here, and he can pray enough for the whole family, I'vo come down to spend my time blackbtrrying, and have some fun." He looked as if ho meant just what ho said, and I have no doubt he for ho was a genuine healthy specimen of Young America, proud of his independence from parental rostraint, and pious proclivities.

About ten minutes ride througa a counlry in which only one farm was observable tha reBt being covered with woods, brought us to the into the midst of the din and bustle of preparation. Men women and children were all variously engaged In putting up and furnishing tents, but over a hundred had already thorn furnished or nearly so, so tbat tlie grove looked like the encampment of an army. Tho first tent which prominently Btrikos the eye is tho POLICE TENT, and here your correspondent found Sergeant Cornell, of the Forty first Precinct, quartered iu command of a picted nine from tho various preolncts of Brooklyn consisting of Ofilci rs Chambers, Forty first Procinot, Bertell, Forty second, Do Clue, Forty third, See, For ty fourth, Valentine, Forty sixth, Morrol, Forty oiglitb, Tollman, Forty nintb, Hauxuursf, Fiftiotb. Although only on the ground sinco morning, the officers had beon exceedingly industrious, and had cleared a Huh yard to their tent, which thoy had surrounded with a high and shady fence of green branches, making a cool and comfortable retreat. The officers exorclsoil their ingenuity iu various making rustic stools, and one of tbom who displayed a taste for letter log was besieged all day by parties who wanted signs painted on their feuts, and it is only justice to him to say that he worked like a beaver to gratify all.

Closo by tbo police tent are tho four BEFBESH2IENT AND BOARDING SALOONS, licensed by the Committee in charge of the affair. They are larpe tents, some fifty by five jet each, with a cooking tent at oue end and three tables running the entire length. Saloon No. 1 is kept by John Titus; No. 2, by Messrs.

Kimball and Turnbull; No. 3, by C. Train and No. i by Mr. Brown.

As all of tbe saloons are limited by their license from the Committee to a fixed price for the refreshments iurui6hed, the bill of fare is much tho samo at each.and consists of roast beef, corned beef, roast and boiled mutloD, potatoes, and vegetables of all sorts, for dinner, with tea or coffee; tea and coffee for breakfast, with btef steaks or mutton chops, and in the evening tea or coffee, with cheese, cakes, and berries of all sorts. The following rates have been mado by tho Committee in regard to the prices to be charged at these saloons for board and refreshments, and no change will be allowed Ample provision 13 made for boardina tho no huckstering or traffic of any kind allowed. Tbe boarding tents will charge the following prlcos: Breakfast and tea, 50 cenie each. Dinnor, Si. i per day for three dajs or over.

Moal hours, breakfast, to 8 A. M. Dinner, 12 to 2, and tea 5 to 7. OulBide of theso provisions THE BULKS which have been adopted for the management of tho affair during the ten days of its oxlstonce, aro as follows CAMP MEETING ItEdULATIONS. Public exercises at the Stand at 10 and 2 aud 7 P.
