TW ' AM I ALFRED COOPER, EUITOM. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1880. —■—«■ pifP^Pf The Treasury statement for the month of August exhibits a further reduction of the national debt to the extent of $12,027,107.59. At the United States mints during the month of August 6,500,600 |>i«eo> were coined, of the value of $6,949,800Of these, 2,253,00 were Bland dollars. It is expected that General Hancock will visit Newport before the season is over ; if so he will be the guest of D. C. i Baldwin, of New York. i Horsemen believe tbut Maud S. will

soon attain a speed so terrific that a struight truck will be necessary to prevent her running into the rear of her own sulky. A third proj>oeltlon to supply Atlantic City with wholesome water has been made to the City Council. The company who make this proposition expect to get the water from Absecon Croek on the main laud. It is confessed all uround that neither of the two great political parties is specially proud of its candidate for Vice President, and there may be good reasons why, as a choice of evils, .Secretary Sherman prefers Mr. Aqthur to Mr. English. And now the seaxido hotel-keeper sits down and counts his gains and meditatively says to himself : 41 Is 275 per cent, profit enough to warrant me in running the old shebang another year, or shall we have a terrible confia- ( gratiou in November ? I guess I'll conflag."— Phils. Time*. i s i — — The Democrats of New Jersey and MuKSftehusetbi set their candidates in the field yesterday. The event of the Massachusetts Convention wua the appearance of General Butler as a delegate and his refusal to be made a candidate for Governor. He is riot enough of a campaign idiot to suppose there i * a chance Unit Massachusetts will go Democratic this year, but lie will pull in the traces for Awhile till be gets used lA.hMPA.% next.

year n<vexpecTxro mnatr am nur i *»/m | test for the Executive office. » r r < The misstatements going the rounds 1 of the newspapers in regard to the dead , Chief Ouray are not only calculated to keep alive the sentimental feeling of a ] certain class of credulous persons, but to deceive intelligent readers. Ouray wn* noihing more or less than an Indian "boss." lie attained the position he held when he died by working upon the fears and cupidity of the Indians ; , then selling that influence to his white J allies or using it for his own porsonnl aggrandisement. The reports that he died from poison originate in the very fears of his friends and allies that he i would die n violent death at the hand of some one of bis many dupes among 1 his own people. We heartily congratulate our Tuckaho* friends upon their energy and en terprise in securing the establishment i of a steamboat line between their pleas- ' ant village nnd Ocean City, and none more anxious for its success than are i we. The boat left Philadelphia on ' Monday and bos no doubt, arrived ere this. She has been repaired and refitted so that she can l»e considered |>erfectly safe for travel. We have always insisted that Tucknhoc had lifo and latent energy enough to make it an important part of <7»|>© May and Atlantic counties, and the determination with which the citizens went to work at this new enterprise, in apito of all the effortthat were made to defeat it, proves that we were correct in our opinions. All that is now needed to mnko tho movement poptdar and well known is to insert an advertisement in the Gazette. The Democratic Convention met at Trenton on Wednesday last and nominated Hon. George C. Ludlow as their candidate for Governor of New Jersey. George C. Ludlow, the nominee, is a gentleman about 56 years of age and a resident of New Brunswick, where Jie has a large law practice and is popular. He has been president of tho Board of Education a number of years nnd was State Senator and President of tho Senate. He is one of the most genial and courteous of men, and has friend* among his political opponents. The convention nominated the following electoral tlekati Kleetora-at-T*argo, • Gottfried Krueger, of Essex, and John If. Dialogue, of Camden \ District Floe tors — First, George G. Green, of Gloucester j Second, Timothy A. Byrnes, of Atlantic : Third, W. H. Mend rick son, of Monmouth ; Fourth. Kyflear >L

The Sunday "Timea," in an article entitled "The Gotpol for Everybody," says i 44 We contend that the work we do for the moral and religious benefit of distant nation* it a muck woaker thing tbau it would be if we were all that we ought to be at home. It is bad business when we send out a veasol laden with half a dozen missionaries to convert the heathen and thirty thousand gallons of New England rum to make these same heathen* as drunk as fools. It iuay be Hud that the same shippers do not send (he rum and the missionaries. That makes no difference in the moral effect oher* tho two lots are landed from the name ship. The ignorant heathen* think they are all sent by the same shipper. England bus at great cost maintained missionaries among the Zulu* ; und a wealthy Briton has just subscribed n handsome sum towards tho evangelization of the Afghans. Both set* of those heathen are inclined rather to laugh at tho religion of the nation

which bus cruelly waged war upon them. ^ than to accept it ns tho yule of their lives. And we four that if an unsophisticated Googubaloo Inlander or a hullclad Patagoninn were to visit our own city and look lit some of our places of vile resort they would he astonished that we did not first clean nut some of thote pest -holes before sending to the distant nations Testaments und traets and outfits of civilized raiment. Take a New Guinea cannibal through the dens on Sanson! street, the filth of St. Mary stfeet and the blasphemy of Middlc alley, and he would gnash hi* teeth at us on being told that this was a Christian city. The command to ov&ngolizc the world is as binding a* when it was given. But our own city is in the world and it is to us a very important part of it. The greatest cvuiigelical work ever doue by this nation will he when every ship that sails to a foreign port carries a crew of godly and sober men, and when every influence that commerce l»«u&rs to the ends of the earth is in league with truth and righteousness." Our Washington Letter. [Prom Our Regular Corren|Mmilp»t.} Washington, D. C., Aug. 28th. The formal retirement of Judge Key from the Postmaster Generalship was consuninted on Wednesday last by the presentation to Mr. May nard by the President of his commission as Postmaster General, and also to Judge ♦ - - - •* 1

crn District of Tennessee. This pleasing ceremony having been concluded at the White House both gentleman proceeded to the Post office Department where . Mr. May nurd was sworn into office. A largo gathering of the clerks of the department took place when a hearty ! welcome was given to the incoming chief and pleasant word of parting was said to Judge Key who spoke the highest terms of commendation ' of aII who! hail so ably seconded his efforts to pro mote the usefulness of the mail service. ' The death of General Myers, better known throughout the country as "Old Probabilities" lias created much sympa- j thy for the family of the deceased officer. A more interesting family circle could I not have been found in tho country, and the death of its head lias caused a j I great loss both of a kind affectionate • father, and a valued friend. It is probably not generally known throughout the country that "Old Probabilities" ! was- originally a surgeon in the army. ! He invented a code of signals, the idea 1 j of which he derived from the Indians while lie was stationed in tho plains. This signal code was adopted by the. j government and it proved a valuable aid for communication during tho war. One of General Myers' feats lias been immortalized by Mr. B!i*4 in a -musical production entitled "Hold the Fort" which is sung by Suhhntli schools 1 throughout the country. The idea was • suggested to the author by the fight between the Northern nnd Southren forces in Georgia in Actobefe. 1864, when the I federal fores* under command of John 1 "F. Goose were reinforced by General Sherman at Kenesaw mountains, • eighteen mi let distant, by means of ini formation conveforHo him through the signal flags of General Myers who happened to-be stationed with Goose** forces at the time of the engagement. From this signal sendee experience General Myert conceived the idea of . 1 publishing a daily map of the condition of the weather throughout the country r by means of the experience thus obtaint ed lie was enabled to predict the stale of the weather in certain localities with I considerable profusion, whence he do* : i rived the aouhrhpiet of 4<0)d ProbabHb ! ties." There was quite a large Democratic ratification meeting on Thursday eveni | ing. and the vicinity of the City Hall • was very handsomely illuminated, ijuite a number of speeches dilated in f ' ihe titual manner of such gatherings ujton the excellencies of their candi- ^ date, and the pro*pc-t« of his election.

SEAViyjB CAMP. The Seaville Gamp opened on Thursday of last week, and under better circumstances than ever before. The in itial sermon was preached by Rev. G. W. Newton, of Dennisville. Rev. W. 8. Znne, of Tuckahoe took the place of Elder Hill and assumed control of the meeting* on Friday and Saturday. Friday morning at 10 o'clock was the occarion of an excellent sermon by Rev. Mr. Westcott. In the afternoon Rev. A. Matthews discoursed U|»oii "The Unseen God," and in the evening Rev. F. Robbins occupied the pulpit. Saturday morning opened bright and clear and the state of the weather had the effect of bringing together a large congregation to hear Rev. Thos. Parker dispense "The Glorious Gospel of Christ," and ugain in the afternoon, when Rev. Jos. -Vanzunt of Petersburg!!, preached. Sunday was clear but oppressively warm, nnd had it not been for^the interesting sendees many would have spent the day in their tents ; as it was everybody appeared in their "best bib and tucker," and seemed resolved not to inind tho heat. After the usual love feast at 9 A. M. Rev. Mr. Zane preached a most forcible and eloquent serin on. In the afternoon Rev. J. T. Price spoke of the "Testimonies of the Bible," and whs followed in the evening by the well known Rev. Win. Stockton. On Monday the weather was unpleasant in the extrcino, being rainy and cool, but for all this a most glorious praise meeting was held during tho morning, and some of the experiences were noble witnesses to the goodness of God. At the regular afternoon yieotinfi lie v. W. 11. Hoag, of Window,

pit. In the evening C. Wesley TuFrefl. so well known to many of our readers, spoke to a good congregation. On Tuesday the extreme heat had changed to a cool and pleasant atmosphere and all were in good spirits. The morning scr- , vice was conducted by Rev. Dr. Whitakar, of Millville, who preached the most able sermon of the Camp, and m11 his hearers were delighted. The after noon and evening sermons were highly interesting, and a glorious prayer meeting was held after the evening service. The spirit seemed to fill every heurt with love for God, nnd the benefits derived will l>e great. The sun rose on Wednesday morning bright ami warm but tho cool breezes blowing through the prove* made the day pleasant. Rev. A. ! K. Street, one of the most able members | of this Conference, preached a tolling | sermon, after which he related sonic of ! his experiences when on tho Gape May 1 Circuit twenty years ago ; lie paid it 1 worthy tribute to the memory of some 1 of the deceased Methodists of thisvicin- ; ity. The directors have made nil )>ossihle arrangements for the comfort and welfare of those who attend, und wt« think j it but proper to acknowledge that we | deem their efforts praiseworthy. The music throughout the meeting* has been excellent and this is all owing to the watchful care of Rev. J. K. Divertv and Dr. 11. L Gilmour, of Wen on ah, who conducted the singing last Sabbath. Mr*. Frank Wentxell, of Dennisville, has presided at the organ and we hear : I nothing hut prai*en — from all aide* — of < her unusually fine talents. l*nvge crowds come.in on even- train and the lively appearance of tho avenue* proves conclusively that Seaville Gamp is growing more and more |>opular each season. A w edding took place at the cottage of ! Judge Diver ty on Tuesday evening ; the happy couple were Mr, John E. Jumcs, of South Dennisville and Miss Mary E. Bailey, of CVild Spring. This euitom of weddings in the tented groves is getting very common in South Jersey, and we can not see why any one should object. We arc informed that an accident ooeured at the handsome cottage of Mr, Samuel Stoelnmn, on Monday mornfbg last at 7 o'clock j the coal-oil stove was being used to wok breakfast upon, ami it is thought it must IimTc boon filled Jwi full a* the oil ran down the sides, took fire, ami exploded, breaking the stove into pieces. Had it not been for the prompt action of Mr. 8.. in throwing carpet over the burning oil, the 1 probabilities arc that s destructive con 1

Chm*n might L * written upon the i 1 social benefit# of that* meeting* but fepoca forbids and we wili take the following abort extract from our esteemed oo temporary, the "Wave" : "The social aspects of the gatl irring of people for a week or ten days' sojourn t at a ca up-meeting ground, form a sub - ject worthy of consideration. To ft* sure, the object of these meeting Is that of Christian fellowship, the worshiping i of the great Father of the Universe, and the ingathering of souls to His king I dom ; but when we come to search i closely the hearts of those who year by year take up their abode for a season in : j tee beautiful grove, God's own temple, i we find that the social bearings pf tee case have great weight. Indeed it would not be well to exclude from our hearts these longings for tee social pleasures which the union of friends • and neighbor* in this manner beget. Are they not a part of Christianity, and ! is not the cause of true religion further- | ed and strengthened by the strong union and cementing of tlie bonds of social, friendly interexmrae among the people 7" The handsome new cottage of Capt Aaron Hand, situated on Anbury Park, is one of the finest on the grounds and j js not only a credit to the owner and bir pleasant family, but to the architect and ] builder, Mr. George Kates, of Towns ! end's Inlet. Worthy of special notice also is the neat and stylish cottage of Mr. John Peterson of Dennisville. This ! building is entirely different from any other on the ground and we doubt not will 1* second to none when Mr. Peterson's son Milton has finished the paint ing of it according to tee dictates of his excellent taste. Among those tenting we notice scores of our own friends, and the courtesy with which they have greeted us in our travels around the grounds has been noteworthy and proves to us that there are many genial poople in this section. Mr. Shanger Hewitt and Capt. Marty of Dyers Creek are at the Camp for 10 days. Those who have promised to preach during the encampment are Dr. Bartine. Revs. Harrison, Wight, Westwood. Gran North, Provost, Walton, Sykes, G. K. Morris, Perrine, Livezly, Adams, Lawrence, C'hattin, Street, Burnett, Abbott and Whi taker. A number of othenhttvo been invited, the most of whom - will doubtless be present at a portion of the meeting. No lots on the Park can be purchased now as those owning will not part j I *

wfttMSeas * Hand, and now occupied by cottage j number 7. It was purchased by our friond G. G. Mill*, who will likely erect • a magnificent building upon it. Mr. M. whs wise in his choice and appreciates good company in the person of his neighbor. The price paid was $100. Rev. William Stockton has his large tent pitched on the ground and pravor i meetings are held frequently throughout the day. He is accompanied by . Mr. Marble, a reformed inebriate, who | takes a very active part in all tee meet- I iiigs. Among tlie families tenting there we notice those of Messrs. Joseph I sard. Ghas. Corson, Joshua Bennett,* A. D. Hand, Ludlam Hand, Edward Hand, Mrs. Hannah Isard, EpKraim Eldredge and Townsend Garret son ; besidte New- : ton Swain, W. S. Hand, Pen. Hildreth ; and Samuel Springer, of Court House and Gravelly Run, On Wednesday afternoon Rev. A. E. Ballard preached a telling sermon from the 9th verse, 4t Id chapter of Gen. His subject was "Ghristian Responsibility," and he alluded to the solemn responsibility that pnrnnt* bear for the salvation of their children. His remarks were fuV Af good |»ointa, many of which left deep in tho minds — and we hope the hearts — of hi* hearer* impressions which will never fade. On Wednesday night a large congregation assembled to hear Rev. Mr. Gask ill's discourse upon 4<The Valley of Pry Bone*," Ezek. STtli chapter and lltli verse. The intioduetioii , was grandly eloquent and alludod to the Remirrfotion of the Dead. Ht 1 ohierved, 1st, That the condition of the sinner is like the dry bones ; very dead, 2nd, That the regeneration of the I soul is set forth by the breath that was | brought to bear Upon the dry bonce. 3rd, The agencies employed to bring about the Spiritual Life — the preaching of the plain doctrine is necessary ; don't give an uncertain -«uuul : proclaim the terror* of tho law. We think such, scr mon* are Indeed rare, and such plain, unvarnished truth nan not atii to result i in much good. On Thursday morning 1 an able sermon was preached by Rev, G. W. Livesley of English Creek, and his peculiar style is attractive. We speak lYoni experience when we say that Mr. Thos. Townaend'a is the place to get first class accommodation* when you visit Seaville. His worthy 1 lady is eareftil for the comfort of those who stop there, and their rates are very reasonable Indeed. i
