THE WORKING PEOPLE AND TILE REPUBLICAN PARTY. The Republican party is frequently with the responsibility for the charged dustrial depression of the past two years.

the fact Those who make this charge ignore that depression equally great, and suffering equally intense, prevails in England a and manufacturing and commercia! other countries. The truth is that the present action is due to no local or immediately movable cause but 19 the natural and inevitable result of a period of stimulated enterand over-production such as that from prise which we are now emerging. But if the Republican party is to be hold in any degree responsible for the misfortunes of the past two years, it ought to awarded full credit for the unexampled which characterized thirteen prosperity of Ropublican administration, and years which has enabled the country to bear 80 well the heavy strain that followed the crash of September, 1873. 'The London Times, commenting on the continued depression in England, finds cause for congratulation in the fact that "lengthened depression has not produced general exhaustion" and that the commercial and industrial interests of the country are able to bear as severe strain as geoms likely to be placed upon them. Wealth in the United States has hitherto had a less substantial basis than in England, and its insecurity has become proverbial, but the organically healthy condition of the country in spite of all reverses shove that we are rapidly approximating the stable solidity of the mother country.

This is unquestionably due in grent part to the prosperous conditions that existed, apart from th: unwholesome stimulus of the speculative fever that accompanied it, from 1861 to 1873. During these years our mills and factories and foundries were running at full time, aul in response to the constant call for work. men, the tide of immigration received an unprecedented impetus. During the forty two years preceding the election of Abraham Lincoln, the total amount of immigration to the United States was 5,002,114, or an average of about 120,000 yearly. During fifteen years of Republican rule, ending with 1875, 4,197,772 emigrants sought our shores, raising the yearly average to the vicinity of 250,000.

These figures are suggestive as showing the demand for labor that called forth such an unexampled response from Europe, but the character of the immigration during the later period as contrasted with the former is even more strikingly suggestive of the improved condition of the country. We find that of the entire immigration up to the close of 1873, nearly onefifth, or 1,657,781, is classified under the head of "laborers." Of this number the exeess, or 872,317, is credited to the years pre. ceding 1861, leaving 441 for the thirteen following years, indicating falling off in the demand for unskilled labor. In every department of skilled labor, on the contrary, there has been a decided and surprising increase. In the years we have mentioned, from 1561 to 1678, 4,001 engineers arrived in the United States, against 2,016 in the forty-two preceding years; 15,235 masons, against 1,395 printers, against 705; 10,871 tailors, against 3,634, and 70,960 miners, against 39,967.

We have selected only a few trades at random, but many of them show results even more surprising; while in the higher departments, such a clergymen, teachers and professional men in general, the disproportion is still greater. The figures show that under Republi. can administration the United States hag risen in the estimation of the best minds abroad to such an extent as to effect materially the character of emigration and to induce an unparalleled immigration of the skilled and industrial classes. A variety of accidental causes, such as the potato famine in Ireland and political dissensions in other parts of Europe, conspired in previous years to give occasional impotus to the current of immigration but no period in our history wit essed anything like the steady and uninterrupted flow that prevailed from 1864 to 1873. The previous immigration was composed as we have shown in great part of unskilled labor.

This was an element invaluable to a new country but the excessive supply showed that the industrial interests of the country had no fairly proportionate stand. ing. During the past fifteen years, the character of the immigration has to a great extent been changed, the growth of home industry has created a demand for skilled labor, and the demand has been heard and understood in Europe. Statistics like these show the real advance which the best interests of the country have made under Republican rule, and afford a complete refutation of the arguments of those who, ignoring the record of thirteen years, arraign the party for incompetency because of the unavoidable misfortunes that have characterized the pist two years. WHAT IS THE RESUMPTION ACT: A contempor ry prints a letter from a revl.

er asking for the republication of the R3- sumption Act for the information of thousunds who, not knowing what its provisions are, are only bewildered by the multitu liLous discussions of it. We also judge that the details of the bill are familiar to few, and indeed much of the debate concerning the act seems only to prove that the heated controversialists are, respecting the matter of dispute, like the farmer's two sons "One OD 'em knows nothin' and the other do33." Yet even the reproduction of the words of the bill might convey but little satisfactory information, because of its involved sentences and references to previous legislation. A summary of its features may, however, ba not without use at this time. The act comprises three sections -the first relating to the substitation of silver coirs for the fractional currency; the second abolishing the seigniorage or toll for coining bullion at the mints, and the third making those provisions regarding the withdrawal of greenbacks, the issue of National Bank notes, the accumulation of the metal, and the redemption of greenbacks January 1, 1879, which are the subjects of the infationist's wrath, the Democrat ridicule, the resumptionist's" fear and the intelligent hard-money man's hope. Scetion 1 directs tha coining of silver coins of the denominations of 10,25 and 50 cents, of value," and their issnance through the mints, sub-treasuries, public depositories and post-offices in change for equal amounts (face value) of fractional ourrency, until all the fraotional shall be redeemed.

It should ba currency noted that the "standard value" for the subsidiary coins is on a debased "standard." The old silver "dollar," now no longer coined, contained silver 9-10 fine. The "half dollar" contains not 200 grains, but only 192.9 while the "querter" and the "dime" are proportionately reduced. 'The inclusion of this provision in the Resumption act, can hardly be accounted wise but the reasons were that the fractional ourroncy would have to be replaced by silver sometime, and that the possession of silvor might have a moral effect in turning people's win.ls to hard money. Section 2 takes off the charga for coining standard gold; the intention being to remove all obstacles, as far as possible, to the conversion of bullion into American coins. The seigniorage had been one-fifth of one per centum.

Section 3 first repeals that part of the National Bank act which limited the aggragreg: te amount of National Bank notes to $300,000,000, thus permitting each bank to 166110 according to the demands made upon it, without regard to the amounts issued by other banks. It removes, also, the restriction drawn by the old limit of circulation to the formation of new banks, and repoals the provisions for the withdrawal and re-distribution of National Bank currency among the States and Territories. It leaves in force, however, the provisions respeoting the capi. tal and organization of the National Banks, and the provision requiring a deposit of United States bonds in return for circulating notes, to ninety per cent. of the current value of such bonds.

On the side of new provisions, it directs that when notes ba given a bank for circulation, greenbacks ba withdrawn to the amount of eighty per cent. of the National Bank notes so given -until the greenbacks outstand ng shall be reduced to $300,000,600. It directs that on and January 1, 1879, all United States notes after presented for redemption in sums of not less that $50 shall be taken up coin. And to prepare for such redemption, the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to use "any surplus from time to time in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated," and toissue and sell.at not less than par in coin, bonds of the character authorized in the funding act of July 14, 1870-that is. bonds bearing interest at 4 1-2 per centum, redeemable at any time after fifteen years from the date of 156110.

It is not our intention here to discuss the Resumption act, but only to present it intelligibly, that our readers may be able to apprebend the controversy about To this end we may point out that the privilege of using "any surplus from time to time in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated," gives a slim chance of accumulating a redemption fund and that four-and-a-half per cent. bonds with only fifteen years to run, are not es readily disposed of as four-and-a-half on thirty years' ti time. Further we may say that the protest against the "contraction" caused by the act seems badly directed, since only eighty dollars in greenbacks are withdrawn for every hundred dollars National Bank notes issued. This point, however, seems at last to have worked its way into the minds of the leading inflationists, 60 that now they charge the contraction- -which has not occurred, except in the recent surrender of some millions which lay rotting in bank vaults- -upon the "threat" of resump- tion. Mr.

STEARNS has evoked a lively contra. versy anent the Lee avenue Reformed Church. He is set upon in a rather vigorous manner by the defenders of that honored institution. Whether Mr. Stearns really msirepresents the original purpose of the establishment of this or not, We may say that sirteen or eighteen years Ago the enterprise was pushed in such a way as to create the general impression in this community that real estate interests had controlling motive in the matter.

But whatever may have been the motive for some of the methods of operation adopted, the general purpose was none the less a worthy one, and was not lost sight of in the work of the Sunday School and the church. If Lee avenue Church was built to promote ras estate interests, what does it prove in favor of religion? Are not schools and churches really an advantage to real estate in their vicinity? The first thing a prudent father asks for when he picks out a place for a home, 1s in relation to the character of the churches and the schools in the vicinage. Yet A motive of self-interest should not be the controlling one in establishing these. The direct object of a school or church, is not to enhance the value of real estate; though such is their tendency wherever they are built; and the better and truer they are to heir real -the improvement of morals and the education of the people- -th moro do they add to the value of every temporal possession in the neighborhood. Considering these things, does not the controversy going on in our columns overlook a vital point? So great is the popular confidence in Phil' that the announcement, which comes in official form from Washington that the hero of Fisher Hill is about to take the field in person against Sitting Bull, will be received with general satisfaction.

We are confident that General Sheridan will not disappomt the expectations of his countrymen, although the campaign may be less short and decisive than might bo desired. The Sioux are in strong force; they occupy a rugged and extensive tract of country whera they can choose their own positions; they have an inexhaustible base of supplies in the friendly tribes across the British line, and they seem to have the idea that a crisis has arrived in the history of their race requiring a desperate fight for triumph, or absolute subjugation. a coward on his mettle" says an old proverb, "and he'll fight the devil." The Sioux are no cowards, and in their desperation they will almost inevitably torce some hard work upon our gallant soldiers. Under Sheridan's personal supervision, however, we may be sure that the campaign will be conducted intelligently and without ANY conflict of authority, and that the inevits ble victory will be reached without any unneressary delay or expenditura of blood or money. In the political gossip we furnish else.

where, it is intimated that Gen. Stewart L. Woodford is not likely to get the solid support of this County for Governor, because while in Congress he was not willing to unbend 1 himself in order to reward with patronage the party workers in the county. A compliment this to Mr. Woodford, without being so intended perhaps.

What does civil service reform mean as set forth in the Republican platform, and as presented in the letter of acceptance from Govarnor Hayes, if it be not just such course Congressman Woodford marked out for himself while a representative at Wash- ington? If Mr. Woodford devoted himself to his proper business as Congressman, aud overlooked the claims of the who ran the political machine, did he not, 10 doing so, pursue a course which, so far as his influence was concerned, rendered civil service reform unnecessary? Would that the same could be said of all Congressmen If Mr. Woodford is not nominated for Governor let it be for some better reason than this; let it be because tho conditions being peculiar, some other man, like Curtis or Evarts is demanded, in order to sweep the Stute in an overwhelming victory. THE Scandal Commission appointed on the plan recommended by the Advisory Committee, held its first meeting in Now York on Saturday and adjourned sine die, after receiving a statement from the Executive Committee of Plymouth Church and adopting a resolution to examine any charge not already fully investigated which should be brought to its notice by any person prepared to present truth of the proof of the same. From the conclusion reached by the Commission, it is not probable that the existence of the Scandal Bureau will have ADY appreciable effect upon the vitality of tho scandal.

THE Sunday papers, with the single exception of the New York Times, in giving the result of the international rifle match at Wimbledon announced it as a victory for the English team. If they had taken the trouble to reckon up their own figures they would bave found that the victory belonged to the Scottish team, against which our countrymen will soon be matched at Phil. d. plia. THE Herald persists that its recent dispatch from Saratoga, touching the conflict between Tilden and Hendricks on the treatment of the financial question in their letters of acceptance, had more than the color of truth in it.

It infers that if such a conflict did not exist, their letters of acceptance would long since have been placed before the public. THE Democratic journals argued that the long delay on the part of Gov. Hayes in giving his letter of acceptance to the public, WAS AD evil omen. What have they now to say about the delay of Tilden and Hendricks Is that delay also ominous A New padlock which cannot be broken has been invented in the South, for the protection of outhouses. We commend this to the notice of politicians, as indicating the frightful condition of Southern society under Republican Ir is said that the Pullman palace cars not pay expenses in England.

Your true Britisher, if he can't be comfortable in the good old way," won't be comfortable at all. Obituary. Edward Torrey. Mr. Edward Torrey, formerly of this city, died on Thureday at Easton, the thirty-second year of his age.

At the time of bis death he was a clerk in a railway office at Phillipsburgh, and was contemplating trip to Brooklyn to visit his father, James D. Torrey, who resides at 36 Rush street. He dropped into restaurant for a few moments, and while eating lunch fell forward upon the table, dead. The cause of his sudden decease was congestion of the brain, the result of the intense heat. Tue body was brought to his father's residence, and the funeral, which was very largely attended, took place yesterday afternoon.

Rev. Dr. Porter, of whose church he was a member, preached the funeral discourse. An affecting incident took place, in the baptism of the infant son of the deceased beside his father's coftin. Beside this child whose age is fifteen months, and who bears his father's name, Mr.

Mr. Torrey was of happy, cheerful disposition, well likod by all who knew him and was strong and well built, seemingly exempt from any ulu The Brooklyn Bridge. The Towers and the Anchorages Complete, and the Cables Ready.

(From the New York The towers and anchorages of the East River Bridge are now completed, except few days' work upon the New York anchorage. This will be completed in ten days or two weeks at the most, and then unless prevented by an injunction, the work of constructing the bridge proper wilt be begun. THE PLAN OF OPERATIONA, 35 given by the engineer, is as follows: A steol rope, three-fourths of an inch in diameter, will to temporanly fastened to the New York anchorage, thence conveyed over the top of the tower, and the coil conveyed to Brooklyn by means of a The rope will then be passed over the Brooklyn tower and to the anchorge, but will Le left slack and nuder water until late at night or early in the morning, when few vessels are parsing, when it will be pul-ed taut. This steel rope will be also temporarily secured to the Brookiyn anchorage, and the coil borne back to New York by the scow aud the ends connected, thus forming an endless rope, working on pailies at each at chorage and on each tower, and worked by machinery on the Brooklyn side. By means of this ENDLESS ROPE other similar ones will be put up, as required for the further construction of the bridge.

First, two steel wire ropea, inches in diameter, will be carried across and made secure to temporary fastenings at cach anchorage. These will be 31 feet apart, and placed a little to the south of the middle of the tower, running over the top. They will be used for the construction of a temporary bridge for the use of the workmen. Oak plank, an inch and a half in thickDess, will be laid upon the ropes with spaces of about bait an inch, both for the purpose of economizing material and to lessen the effect of the wind upon it. Ther will be fastened by strips running lengthwise across the enda, which will be bolted to the ropes by shaped clamps.

The bridge will be completed by stretching -mall ropes on each side about three feet above the flooring, and secured to it every ten feet. It will be rendered firm by guys. Three other steel ropes of the same magnitude as those used in the construction of the foot bridge will be stretched across the river over the tops of the towers-one twenty-seven feet south of the foot bridge at the edge of the piers, one over the north edge, and oue midway between the north rope and the foot bridge, with a space between the north and south ropes of eightyone feet. The object of these last mentioned repos is to support SMALL CROSS BRIDGES, technically called "cradles," and necessary for the construction of the other portions of the bridge. There will be five of these cradles, one in each land span between each tower and its anchorage, and three at equal distances in the river They will project ten feet beyond the outside cable, and will support pulleys for the endless ropes.

The whole temporary structure will be 200 feet above high water at its centre and lowest point. After this work is completed the construction of THR BRIDGE PROPER will be proceeded with, and the first step will be the stretching of the main cables, which will be put up at the same elevation as the temporary bridge and lowered. These cables will be compoecd of nineteen strands, each strand being made np of 330 wires, No. 7 gauge -that is, little more than oue-eighth of An inch in diameter. The material used will be the best quality of steel wire.

The ropes of the temporary bridge will not be taken down, but finally incorporated into the super-tructure of the bridge. The workmen to be emplored on this dizzy platform are for the most part men who were originally sailors, and no loss of life 18 anticipated if each will but take proper precaution. -The steamebip Batavia arrived at Boston Saturday from Liverpool.

POLITICAL. GOSSIP ABOUT NATIONAL, STATM AND COUNTY POLITIOS. The Probabilities of the Campaign as Figured by Democrats and Republicans. It is not probable that much heavy work of the political campaign will be done until after the present mouth. Now, of course, at the watering places and summer resorts, much pohtical talk is indulged in.

while the stay-athomes, in a humdrum manner, are canvassing the chances of their respective candidates. But prior to the advent of cooler weather, light skirmishes are the rule, and the heavy battles of the campaign are delayed. So much bas boon said, and more 18 yet to be said, of the merits and demerits of the PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES and the platforms, of both parties, that it were useless, in au ordinary newspaper article, like thir. to attempt an exhaustive discussion of these great themes tut as local politios are not so much discusred by the metropolitau journels, local chromelers can do good servica by dishing up for their readera the gossip of their own country aud city. With this end in view it is proposed to discuss the local political situstion from the standpoint of It is needless to ray that Democrats and Repubheans of this District are equally sure that their candidates will be elected this fall, and for and against the national tickets the same argumento are used as in other suctions of the Union.

The people of the county of Kings are to elect thr Congressmen to the places now 00- cupied by Messrs. Schumaker, Chittenden and BliNg, whose terms will expire on March 4, 1877. Iu the 8KOOND CONGRESSIONAL DIATRICT at bas been decided by the Democrats not nominate Hon. John G. Schumaker.

They dosire to nominate some one who has a record as a Reformer, but have not yet fixed upon candidate. The Republicans have not slated any candidate yet, and. 88 the Distriot is largely Democratic it would seem useless to nominate one, were it not for the fact, that in every district of whatever complexion politically, it has been found necessary to bave party caudidates for all offices in the field in order to poll the strengtb of the party for the national candidates. Colouel James Cavanagh, who developed great strength in bis contest for the State Senatorship last year, is spoken of A8 candidate, many of his followers desiring him to run either as the Regular Democratic nominee or 89 an Independent. If some other person should obtain the Regular Democratic nomination, Colonel Cavanagh running as an Independent, and supported by the Slocumite wing of the Democratic party, as well as by the entire Republican party of the district, would prove formidable opponent, and might perhaps be elected.

In the THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, which is largely Republican, Hon. Simeon B. (bittenden will not be again taken up by the Democrats. His course generally has been distasteful to the Democr: cy, and bas proved his Republicanism so thoroughly that it need be no surprise should he obtain the regular Republican nomination. However, it is not known whether Mr.

Chittenden desires to go to Congress again after the expiration of his present term, and nearly a half during which he has served; hence it may, perhaps, be better not to enter into a discussion as to bis chances for a a re-election. Senator John W. Coe has been spoken of, without his authority it is thought, as an Independent candidate, and should the Democrats of the Distict support him it 18 thought he might make a very strong candidate in any event. In the FOURTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT the present incumbent, Hon. Archibald M.

Bliss is the only Democrat spoken of for the office. It is claimed by the friends of Mr. Bliss that his Congressional record is good, and that the people of this city would rally to his support. His efforts for the establishment of a market at the Wallabout are well spoken of by persons belonging to both parties. Tue District is a well nigh hopeless one for a Republican to canvass, aud there is no particular effort being made by any prominent Republican to obtain the nominstion.

nO Hon George C. Bennett is spoken of, and would make strong candidate, but it 19 not known whether Mr. Bennett would accept if nominated. Hon. Jacob Worth ban alao been mentioned in cennection with the position, but it 18 understood that he does not wish the nomination.

Leading Repucheans declare that there 18 1 strong probability that Hares and Wheeler will carry this county, arguing that the division of the Regular and Inuependent Democracy will strengthen both the Republican National and State as well as the local tickets. Ou the other band, the best informed Democrats claim that whatever divisions or dissensions may occur 1D the local tickets, the National ticket of Tilden and Hendricks will be generally supported by Democrats, and the Independent element, it is thought, will surely centre upon it. Republicans are especially bitter in their reference to the pretense of reform which the Democrats 60 glibly assume. I bey declare that ninetenths of the meu wl.o are praising Governor Tilden for his reform measures have boon identified with the various Rings which have so long lorded it over in New York city as well as in Brooklyn. There is but little talk about the State tickets to be nominated.

Democrats belonging to this section of the city say there is no doubt that SENATOR JACOB8 can have a place upon the Democratic State ticket if he wants it that his services in the party entitle bim to some recognition, and that Governor Tilden will take a personal interest in having Jacobs honored in this way It seems probabie that "Deportment" Dorsheimer, as he 18 called by many of the newspaper scribes, will receive the nomination for Governor, and Jacobs that for Lieutenant Governor, and if as Dorsheimer states, which 18 rather unlikely, be carries the German vote of the weatera portion of the State in his pocket -this ticket of Doreheimer and Jacobs will be a hard one to beat. The Republicans of this District until recently have been urging the nomination of GENERAL STEWART L. WOODFORD as Governor, but within the past week considerable change of sentiment has occurred, and it may be doubted whether Wondford will receive much, if any, support from this county in convention. The reason for this change in the view of many influential Republicans here is said to be in consequeuce of the apathetic course of General Woodford while in Congress, he having refured on several occasions to secure for the party workers in this county that which they thought ought to come to them in the way of patronage. Other points are raised against General Wordford as partisan, and one of the most formidable is that in the past.

on several occasions, when his friends have been pre sing him, with great bores of succeaa, he suddenly without warning to big principal backer, Das withdrawn from the contest, and left them in an awkward posttion. No one for moment questions Geo. Woodford's honesty of purpose, or his great abinty, and bis old time friends declare their willingne-8 to support him 1f they could be areured that he would not don them in Convention, and would promise to give bis attention more to the bauding up and the adding of strength to the party, instead of, as in the past, occupying the highposition that the Republican party 03n run itscif, without regard to a proper distribution of patronage. Yet in a crisis like this this very position of Gen. Woodford onght to in part strength to his claims for consideration before the Saratoga Convention.

If Sonator John C. Jacobs should conclude to serve out his term in state Senate and not go upon the Democratic ticket for LieutenantGovernor, it is probable that some Democrat from the Western District will be placed upon the ticket tor tates Prison Inspector to satisfy the claims of this connty. In this event, there wall be a very warm contest between the gentlemen who are determined this fall to obtain recom; ensc for their prolonged services to the Democratic party, and as the present County Register, the Clerk and theSarrogate are all about to retire from their present and are in the line of proniction, it is certain that all the aspirants but one for a position on theState ticket, whose name is legion will be disappointed, since it is almoet certain ti at if this County 18 recognized on the Democrat State ticket, the place will go to one of the 1. ree officials referred to. One of these gentlemen baa been beard to say, that be will not again run tor the at prea ent held by him.

A Republican of the Western District, promipent as a leader bas urged DAVID an the nominee of the party for the off.ce of State Prison Inspector, but as this ass of his name has rot been anthonzed by Mr. Wilhams, the suggestion may not amodat to much, in view of the fact that Mr. baa declared bimself to be a candidate for no place or position. At this point it way be propor to state that an encouraging TZASURE OF HARMONY seems to prevail among the Republicans in this county, who are of the opiuion that at no time since the Liberal diversion has the party bare been to strong as it is to-day. Bat the regular Democrats also claim that there is perfect ovacord in their party, that the Slooa mazement will not draw off thousand votes in the whole County, and they flatter themselves that it will take more votes from the Republican party than from their own.

TILDEN AND HENDRICKS. lecting of the Fifteenth Ward Campaign Club. The Fifteenth Ward Tilden and Hendricks Campaign Olub beld a regular meeting at No. 460 North Second street on Saturday evening, and completed 1's organization. The minutes of the last preceding meeting having boon read approved, the Committee on Bauners reported progress.

motion, Mr. Peter Cu'linan was elected PERMANENT PRESIDENT: Mr. W. McKee, Vice-President Mr. Jos.

Christadora, Secretary, and Mr. J. Smith, Treasurer. The following gentlemen were then appointed as members of the Executive Committee: Messre. McKee, Savage, Clack, Smith, and Gaughan.

Mr Culinan addressed the meeting at length, dwelling with some force upon the issues to be met in November, and emphatically deolaring that THE SECTARIAN QUESTION abould have no weight with the people in dethem how to cast their votes. In support of his declaration he produced statistics which proved, he claimed, that all the Southern States were overwhelmingly Protestant, and asserted that the danger of religious aggression wan purely imaginary. When the time came for such an issue to be met, if it ever did come, it would be met fairly and squarely. After some further informal discussion, the meeting adjourned for a week. Eighteenth Ward German Tilden and dricks Club.

A large number of the naturalized German: of the Eighteenth Ward assembled some time Ago and organized a Tilden and Hendricks Democratic Club. Last Saturday evening the regular meeting of the club was beld at Frank Pfeifer's new ball on Hamburg avenue, corner of Melrose street. The President, Mr. Alois Kuntzweiler, called the meeting to order. The Vice-President, Adam Levy the Secretary Andrew Quint; and the Treasurer, George Adam Saffer, occupied their respective positions.

The roll of one hundred and fifty-eight members was called, and after the transaction of routine busi ness, the Chairman called upon Mr. James J. Rogers, a delegate to the General Committee from the Ward, for instructions and remarks. Mr. Rogers said that having heard of the existence of such a powerful body of men, be had visited them for the purpose of learning rather than of teaching.

Their solid appearance and general intelligence was enough to enable them to carry OD their club without much outsile advice. The Kings Countv Campaign Club would be permanently organized in a few days, and he had no doubt that delegates from every Tilden club in the county would be admitted to the Central Body. The best advice he could give them was to depend as much as possible on themselves, baving their minds fixed on Tilden and Reform, and knowing so well how to conduct their own business, they could not fail to succeed. The speaker then dwelt at some length op the issues of the campaign, and succeeded in making himself well understood. Mr.

Adam Levy, the Vice-President, inquired whether it was probable that copies of the St. Louis platform and the constitution of the County Campaign Club would be printed in German. Mr. Rogers replied that while he was not authorized to speak for the County Club, he had nO doubt that both the platform and the constitution referred to would be printed in that language. He thought that not less than ten thousand copies would suflice.

Addresses were delivered by Mr. Dennis Meagher, of the Seventeenth Ward, and by James Fletcher, of the Eighteenth Ward after which the meeting adjourned. ROCKAWAY BEACH.

re The Neversink from the foot of South First street took more than her usual number of passengers, the friends of the "Unted Four," a social organization in the upper section of the District, filling the boat to its full capacity, it being their annual excursion. The crowd was orderly, and conducted itself in a becoming manner. The sail was pleasant, and the two hours on the water were enlivened by some capital glees and solos by the Phillips' Quartette, and negro melodies by two "blacked up" individuals. The other steamers were also well patronized on both trips, it being estimated that 15,000 people were on the beach between four and six o'clock. The weather was cool, and a heavy coat was not found uncomfortable.

It was one of the MOST ENJOYABLE DAYS for a stroll along the beach that has been experienced this season, and the thousands of people were stretched in one continuous line from Hillier's Look Out House to Buland's Sea Side Pavition. The sun was obscured by clouds, and a refreshing breeze was blowing from the sea. The surf rolled and tossed in all its grandour, and the bather: were numerous. About the middle of the afternoon dark and threatening clouds began to gatber in the West and everything boded a storin. The clouds gathered quickly and OMINOUSLY DARK, and in the far distance could be seen indioationa of wind.

The suu for a time broke through and shone brightly for few moments, but it only added to the dismal aspect in the West. The storm did not come up so rapidly that preparations to meet it could not be made, but when it did, it raged with great fury for balf AD hour, the wind sweeping the beach like a hurricane, but did little or no damage. The Steamers Americus, Noveraink and Plymoutb Rock were coming up the inlet crowded with pleasure seekers when the storm broke. There were two or three vivid flashes of ligbtning. and as many claps of thunder, when the flood gates were opened, and it never RAINED HARDER SINCE THE DELUGE, the wind at the same tune blowing a gale.

The frightened passengers on the steamers sought sheiter in the cabins and saloons, and their situstion at one time looked perilous. With the rain a mist set in, and the "Rock" being but half way up the inlet, was lost to the view of those on bore. The wind etruck her broadside, and came near throwing bor over, her lee rail being at one time under water, and as ber engines had to be slowed, she was in imminent danger of being driven ashore. The Americus and Neversink being smaller did not feel the force of the wind so much and they made their landings without any difficulty. Neither steamer received any other damage than the LOSS OF A FEW FLAGS and some of their awnings.

The William Cook, Magenta and Oceanus were also struck by the wind, but beyond losing some of their temporary awnings were not injured. As the storm came from the land its effects were very slightly felt on the beach side. The bathers rushed out of the water and sought shelter in the bathing houses, and the multitado rushed for the hotels and booths which are plenuful along the beach. There were some of the high signs of the hotels blown down, but none of them were unroofed, or serionaly damaed. The storm WaS sOOn over, and the sun came out bright as ever and in a few moments every trace of the "hurricane" was obliterated.

The Lathers returned to the water, the strollers renewed their search for shella, and everybody felt as happy and serene as if there never bad been a storm. Military. Captain Waluam J. Powell, Lieut. E.
