"HOTEL, LONG BBANCNI, August 10,1807.—A crowded hotel iii a world in minia ture; among--the many'people who, throng the hotel corridors and galleries there are many unwritten histories. There are groups of women who bridge over the fearful chasm of disappointed lives, with smiles and jest; there are men lolling in luxurious arm-chairs, who, watching the grace ful smoke as it curls and waves around them, think of other than Wall street failures. All the hotels here are doing a good business, and this hotel (named after the popular hotel of your city) has been crowded for several weeks, and it is estimated they will clear over $BO,OOO during the season. There are several handsonie displays of equipages and stylish and fast horses, there are several teams -of four-In-hand, ono driven by Mr. M. Weaver, of 'Philadelphia, and another fine turn-out by Mr. R. Appleby, ef - New York. The grand feature of this season was the invitation ball that transpired last Friday night. The invitation ran thus: "Long Branch, Aug. sth, 1867: You are invited to attend a ball, to be given by the guestS of thishotel, on Friday, Aug. 9th, at 6P. M. Stewart L. Woodford, Chairman, &c." Programme—book-form, with some twenty different dances. Committee of Arrangements— blue ribbOn—Hon. S. L. Woodford, Hon. H. E. Davies, A. V. Stout, R. L. Mulford, W. E. Fowler, R. Appleby . . Floor Committee—white ribbon—J. H. Bird, L. P. Hulburd, W. A. Cono ver and R. T. Woodward. As-the minutes rolled away, the crowd outside grew restive, and prayed for an entrance into the ball-room.. The doors were at last thrown open, and such a rush was scarce ever witnessed before. Gillmore's renowned orchestra struck up a grand march, and each lady as she entered received a bouquet, and smiled all sortill thanks therefor. Near two thousand were now on the floor ; but we 'cannot resist making mention, and giving a description, of some few toilettes. Mrs. L—r, of New York, whose dress, covered as it was with diamonds of the first water, eclipsed anything ever seen on this continent ; they were valued at $40,000. Mrs. H. C-1, of Germantown, Pa., was elegantly attired in .a dress of pale blue silk,white lace bertha, with scarlet ornaments and necklace of pearls. Her appearance is always prepossess ing. Mrs. S-1 wore a dove-colored satin. The Misses C-8 wore white silks. Miss K—r, Miss S—s, Miss S—e, were the centre of all eves, and drew forth remarks from all who mingled in the giddy throng. Among the distinguished persons ages who graced this occasion with their ,pres ence were Gen. Meade, Mayor Hoffman and Mr. John Iloey. We must return our thanks to Mr. W. Nason, the principal clerk at this hotel, for his kind attention; also for initiating ,us into the Committee's Private Reception Room. H. C. WM President Johnson Beluga? [From the N. Y. Leader.] The question startles. Yet we have reliable in formation that for some time past he has debated it. At flrst,rcluctnntly with himself. Afterwards, earnestly with three intimate friends. This limited agitation of the _question has probably been brought to the knowledge of the sagacious editor of the Herald, and may have instigated the logical article which appeared yesterday, and which we reprint to-day. Mr. Bennett evidently sides with the three intimate friends of Mr. John son. who have advised that a resignation would precipitate the very evils laid bare by the editor rail pen. e believe that as the President has reviewed the question of his resignation, it may be stated in this shape : "I am legislatively rendered what a comic paper has pictured me—a mere figure head to the ship of State. Constitutionally," am its Captain. Practically, my crew has mutinied. One of my very messmates defies me at my own cabin table, and persistently refuses to accept any reckoning. The responsibility of safety or ship wreck is, nevertheless, nominally with me. Yet I in all truth, I have no control whatsoever. If should wholly surrender the ship of State to the mutineers, a majority of the popular crew might be induced to at least save her from wreck." Nor is this an overdrawn picture. The Presi dent is called Commander-in-Chief of the Army. Yet by Radical law his orders are only made valid whenever the War Secretary countersigns them. Mr. Stanton refuses to do that. Not only does this subordinate defy the Commander-in— Chief, but the generals of divisions and brigades imitate his demoralizing example. The obvious corollary of this situation is that the finances of the country are at the mercy of the. Treagury Secretary if be chooses to be *contumacious; and there is no Federal officer who is not practically independent of the Governmental Head. But if Mr. Wade became acting President, unanimity and uniformity is governmental details would ensue. The Radical programme could be speedily carried out. If it resulted in disaster the public could the sooner place the • responsibility where it belonged, and the sooner rescue the na tion from doubt and uncertainty. How often does the cautery or the knife cause an ulcer to heal that else would have ripened into gangrene! The President's intimate friends have urged that his place is nigh to the helm so long as the ship of State floats: that if disaster came, history. and posterity would hold him accountable: that, practically,the Radical programme was inevitably to be performed as events now marshalled them selves, and while it was obvious that the Presi dent was powerless. Before Mr. Stevens announced that impeach ment was impracticable, President Johnson could not resign without exposing himself to tike charge of cowardice. Since that bugbear has perished, no obstacle to, self-respect exists in the case.. lie could resign, and in a farewell address to the American people put himself on record In a document that before to.any 'months might be accepted as memorably just. If he remains, the only good he can possibly accomplish is to delay the Radical programme long enough to save the. South from precipitate revolution and the North from a sudden financial panic. `CITY BULLETIN. A NICE ARTICLE FOR TRAVELERS.—Hungry travelers who have had bitter experience in rail road hotels and restaurants, where the saw-dUst sapdveiches only rivalled the horse-bean coffee in vileness. and where the hard-boiled eggs scarcely eNceeded the biscuit in toughness, know the im portance of having refreshment in their carpet bags. At this season of the year nothing can be more delicious than a cake or tWo of pitre choco late; not the black, gritty stuff that is often sold under that name, filled . with oil, molasses, and other adulterations, hut :the delicious and fra frant article made by a manufacturer like Mr: f.3tephen F. Whitman, whose guarantee of the purity of his clioColate is hardly necessary to those who have observed its rich brown color and enjoyed its delicious fragrance.----A-cake or two of Whitecap's chocolate is more convenient. to ear ry than dity, other kind of food, and it con tains more nourishment a smaller space. Moreover it satisfies the thirst, and thus rouders constant application to doubtful water-coolers in the cars unnecessary. Everybody who goes out of town should carry along flats preparation, and, indeed, it is not unhandy to have about the house In town. It is a most delightful substitute for tea and coffee and is very grateful to the delicate palates of invalids. Whitman's chocolate is prepared by the most delicate and oeautiful machinery every day,-and parties who purchase it can have it upon their tables or in their satchels within an hour or two from the time that it existed in the shape of cocoa beaus. .Rommur.—This , morning, before Ald.
