Our New York: Correspondence.
Nkw YoiiK, August 23d, 18C5.
Allow me to begin my. correspondency, my
dear Herald, by stating for you a piece of liews
which you are too modest to state for yourself.
Von ni e the bestquoted ,southernrpapcr that we
receive Iv-re. The Kens quotes you regularly,
in order to reply to your arguments if i cssible.
The Herald and the Times copy copiously from
your columns. Ouly theother day you figured
largely upon the editorial page 'of the Tribune.
So you are making a sensation'in your own fash
ion, and I congratulate the good people of Wil-
miogton upon having, at last, an organ Yv'hich
makes itself heard.
ew York having been . "out of town " during
t.ie summer, is now beginning to lcu.i uke itself
again. You must know that all New Yorkers
are supposed to: leave the city by the last of
June, and not to come back until the'last of Au-
gust. This is a polite fiction which society'
kcep3 up with the greatest care. The men-do
not think so much about, it; perhaps, but With
the ladies it is a sort of social religion. Many
families go off to the watering places, and many
moie board for a month or two 'at cheap and
uncomfortable places in the ceun.ry, rind vow
inataney nave oeen ai oar.noga ; duioi cguvfe
.i . . i i t . - , .
the majority stay at home during the summer
as well as during. the winter. Tne fun of it is
that these, stay-auhorae people, are these who
insist most decidedly upon keeping up the farce
abou going .away. They won't attend the thes
aires ; they wou't make calls ; they won't prom,
enadc in Broadway or Central Park. Your wife'
may see Mrs. Jones, the next door, neighbor,
spanking her little boy all through the summer
months; but either your wife or"Mrs. Jones
would lather die than confess that she was in
towuand recognized the other lady !-
v This New York custom is of foreign importa
tion, but it is rapidly extending all over the
courrtfy. r0nVbad result of it is that in August
our streets really do look deserted. Thi3 year,
however, they have been more than usually Veil
flUpd with strancsrs. 1 have not seen so many
.i 4' t . if t .!
wanted to surrender his anr.y over again he
would fmd, almost allhis officers at (he New
York hotels. Of course all southerners are cor
dially received here. Several of them have told
me, w.itlv jL.car4a';itiheir- -' voices if riot fr it heir
eyes, hpyv, kind their friends at tlie , north have
been to !.!iem. ' They have yet to hear, they say
one Single opprobrious epithet applied to theai.
ihe wist teeais forgotten and fcrgivcrr, and aij
northerners look forw.ard 1 to a raore periect
. . ..(- . i.i.l . " ' - A .
uuivp in thp future, I trust that the pame kind
ly sentiments may prevail at the siuth". t am
th wid kmonc- all southerners who have
boon visiting -here. Good feeling is luiectious.
Tt U n'bshvd to sunpose thaUme setia-of the
country can lon le in; the sulk3hile . all the
rest is so geuml. 1' V .' --'T
Of course you have heard by this time ot our
WalT-'street trou. "More defalcations are
. C.; WEDSESMATGIIST
coming to light every day, bnt; the bandsmen ot
the criminals make the stolen money good and so
names, are kept out bf thepapers.- Jenkins,
Towpsend, KetcHum and Mnmford are names
enough, however,, to print ft' moral and adorn a
tale.; Ketchum still keers but of the way of the
police, and Mr. Young, the ckief of thedetecv
tfves, tells me that unless the banks offer a
heavier reward it is useless to. try to catch him
at present. The pretty waiter girls have be
come quite famous since Jenkins' expose. Some
day I will show up the York concert sa.
loons thoroughly for you. '"' ( )t
The newspapers,. having nlhiag else to write
about, are seosationizing about,, crimes and
nuisancer. If we' believe themetr Yorkers are
beiug robbed and murdered by wholesaieTpoip-?.
oned in the street carS swindled outof their
money, oppressed by corrupt officials and trod
den under foot generally. This satan is not so
black as he is painte I. In every large city there
are always penty p crimes j bat NewYotk, at
its worst stage, will compare favoribly with
either loddon or Prisi,As for' 'Wail street, the
wonder i8?n6t tbaj hereji so BSueh' Quavery
there, but that there, i so little. Why, we have
not had a btg defalcation before , for several
years, and business is so losely conducted there
that anybody can default who "pleases. The"
brokers take each other's words for their bar
gains. Papers rery seldom piss between them.
Think, then, how' honest" they must be not to
cheat each other when they have such fine chan
ces. I am awaie that this Is the unpopulir
view of the matter ; bur my dear Herald, you
will often find me taking that view when It is
the correct one.
I have notthe least scraps of gossip, to-day,
with which to regale you. It is too warm to be
iuterested in anything. The Atlantic cable
broke and nobody cared enough about it to shed
a tear, write a poem or issuean extra. Politi
cally, we are "equally dull and indifferent. A
democratic convention to nominate state candi
dates has been called to" meet at Albany on the
6th of September, and a republican convention
assembles two weeks alter ; but it is hard to tell
who is democratic and who is republican bew-a-days.
Ask any man fo what party he belongs,
and he says "A:idy Johnson's." Ask him what
is his platform, and he Kays "Andy Johnson's."
Ask him what candidates wjR succeed, aud he
8ft 8 "AndJ Johnson's." It is all Andy John

Draper has been superseded by Audv Johnsou's

Nv-w York politicians.
Theatrically, the city is given up to the Irish ;
Dan Bryant, an ex-negro minstiels, is playing
Irishmen at Wallack's, and Boncicault's new

Judge Advocate Chi pjujf A aked the prison-
hy wuat. answer ue - nau to make to ir.e
charge s ? ,
The prisoner gave no reply. . . -
Julgo Hughes, fui the counsel, said that
these new charges an-.i snecifieation, or the
fuct that any amendments or changes had bte'n
made in those heretofore nresenttd rcicjicd

Judge Hughes remarked that he taw by a
morning paper cn'y that the court was to icet
to-dav, and it was by a mere r.ciid-'i.t that he .
came her'. TIio authorities were ample that
the p'nsontr should have time to plead and to
prepare for the defence, t;nd to consult with
his counsel, ardon the pri none r's behalf ho
asked ll;e commission to give him fuTlicient
time. The prisoner, without any fault of his -owri,
would now be. under the necessity of
employing new counsel, as he (Judge Hughes)
was imlineuto think he bad rendered all thu
pi'ofessional sef vices retjuircd by -,hit; obliga
tions. It was not i:ec3.-.sary for him to give
the reasons for withdraw in g. from the cae,
but this ought not to prevent the court from
determining about thj question of. giving
further time. " - . -
