/6BTIEB PBO« HEW IOBK. (CotmTOEdoTwe of the PhDade. Bally Evening Bulletin.] I ji'Kw Yobk, July S.—The ereat excitements of hjeday centre in politics. _Everybody talks Con hntlon, whether bo bo Democrat or whetherho jc Republican. Of the proceedings of the National Democratic 'Convention, np to date, you are, of course, ere ■ this Informed by telegraph. As to tho final ac- H.t]on of the Convention, speculation Is os wild as 'ever. Those inside appear to know, definitely, ' little more than those outside. All one can tell is thjutbere Is much planning, much wire-pulh ing; much campaigning, any amount of prophcr eying, several.’ strong men, each with a strong , ' party, at his back, <fcc. This morning Chase seems to be stronger than-ever, and if the Con vcntlon’s sessions could be prolonged for several days, ho would have no mean chanco lor the 'nomination. Perhaps he will succeed- as it Is. But it is useless to sum up the chances which '• Chase, or Pendleton, or Hancock, or Hendricks, or this or that man may have, or seem to for, by the time this reaches yon, the final result Will probably be reached. As I write, tho Convention is assembling for Its morning session, and the large hail presents an animated scene. The Herald is “poking fun” at this Convention in all sorts of ways, oven ridi culing its calibre, affecting to regard its members as “small potatoes;” but despito all this rather ungrateful ridicnlo, this is a body of men well worth looking in upon, oven by its political foes. It la, of course, made up, as such Conven tions usually are, of a great variety of men, and some may, as the Herald can believe, know more than others, and some probably less. Any man . who doubts that there is a goodly quantity of brains here, or who donbts that some of the leaders of pnblic political thought are hero, please step Into tho Convention, if yon can get a ticket, which may be a hard matter. Gloom settles ’down upon the Convention in the death of .Peter Cogger, of Albany. He was riding home with John E. Develin, from a dinner at the Manhattan Club; tho horses were frightened and runaway, throwing tho gentlemen from the carriage, instantly killing Mr. Cagger, and very seriously Injuring Mr. Develin. The latter may recover. The Tribune thus honorably treats a Solitical foe: “Peter Cogger was an eminent iwyer (formerly of Hill, Porter & Cagger) and had lived fifty-three years, for thirty of which he ! had been Secretary of the Democratic Btate Com ■ mittee. Always declining office, he was the most untiring, and since the death of Dean Richmond, the most efficient political manager in the State. Prtmk, genial, social and warm-hearted, without a tritee.of ostentation or formality, ho was emi nently popular, and had multitudes of personal . friends in both of the great parlies, to whom his death is a sudden blow. Hu was iu our city as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention, in whose proceedings he took a deep interest. . Ho leaves a widow and several children to lament thelr irreparable loss.” ■ The Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Convention, after pledging support to the nominees of the No , lional Democratic Convention, yesterday ad journed sine die. Thurlow Weed, who has recently been quite . ill, has recovered so for as to be able to tail for ‘ Europe yesterday. The labor market is still unsettled. The trouble between the master masons and their employes has not yet been satisfactorily adjusted. Tho sporting world is dull just now. Once in a while they manage to get np a horse-raco or a f .TCgatta, but, all in all,take things rather quietly. the season up to Friday last, the rsf/aith of the city had been comparatively good. Ice then we have had an intensely hot spell of other, and tho mortality lists have rapidly in iiiscd. In the seven days ending at noon of jturday, there were only 412 deaths In New irk, and 122 in Brooklyn; bnt in tire, succeeding ree days, ending at noon on Tuesday, 246 aths in this city, exclusive of those in the pub institutions, were reported to tho Board of ualtb, while there was nearly the same ratio of crease„in mortality in the city of Brooklyn, lie thermometer, luckily, has gonedown a bit, it still we havevery ho land very sultry weather, esterdoy the mercury climbed up to 81 at 3 clock 15.l 5 . M. til The Association for the Suppression of Gam taffiplmg is gaining a new lease of life. Forty-one -(Jerks who visit gaming houses were reported to . -their employers in June, and 47 new members q were received. Tho Association has a big job on j' hand in the suppression of the gaming propensi ties of certain of our citizens, and ot 6ome who Hit are not our citizens, bnt who “visit” hero fre [/jl quentiy, but It seems to be making some progress llf in its work. ..ft. The great “National Fair," for the benefit of destitute of the widows and mothers of those if’ (bo have fallen in the land and naval Bervico of l.fi 'jj lie nation will open here on the 14th of Sep- I Jr!

While the thermometer ranges from 95 to 105 degrees, in your over-crowded and super-heated city, we are enjoying a refreshing breeze and can sit on the shady side of any of our ample hotels and boarding-houses, private cottages and sylvan groves, and feel as comforta ble and cool as if hot weather did not prevail all around ns. But,' even when the winds blow from the north and west, laden with heat and sulphur, we have an antidote in the surf which jnore than counteracts the influences of the winds. The capacious public houses are now in the full tide of operation, and are rapidly filling up. Every train arrives crowded with parties seeking i, a lew days or weeks of relaxation from the toils i and heat of the city, and after a good ablution in old Ocean, they realize that there is one place, at least, on the "Jersey coast, where perspiring . humanity may eDjoy an immunity from the heat. War hab been waged upon the bovine and ca nine tribes which are found running at large in ' our Avenues, and within the city limits. The au -1 thoritles have resolved to enforce the county law in that particular, aud have made it a special duty of the police officers to ascertain the owners of sudh beasts and complain thereof to the Mayor. A large number of complaints have been made, but as the law in regard to cattle, horses, ifcc , re auires the suit to be commenced “In an action for debt,” considerable anxiety exists as to the result -on the return day, which is next Tuesday. The police, however, labor under a great difficulty, - ltor they can scarcely find any one who knows the owner or owners of cows. To obviate this diffl , Council, ut its last meeting, ordered the fit .»• llngup of a Pound, into which they are to be . driven. On Tuesday evening the Republicans oi tUU city held a caucus for the purpose of selecting delegates to the State Convention, which meelß at Trenton on the 9th instant. The caucus was well attended, and the following named gentlemen fci -were chosen: Dr. Thomas K. Reed, John fard- H uer, John Bryant, lion. Jacob Keim and L. W. WK- jjeiisle. They go to the Con von tlon uninstrocted, |p but as near as 1 can ascertain, three favor 'he kV nomination of Cornelius Walsh, and two It. Li Blair, for Governor. It is the impression It *-, throughout the First Congressional District, that Bi’’ 'Mr. Walsh will be the mau. Hr The street lamps have been materially improved Hi since last year and are now operating quite satis- WF: faejorliy. They give a good light, and with a lit ,< -W ile further experimenting they will soon reach that degree of perfection that will fit them for the service contemplated and required. 1 Business prospects appear more encouraging , -k v far than last year at this time, several houses already being nearly full of boarders, and o* here wißbe. The trade outside of hotel and £ botirding-house keeping i» also good, many ■ grocery Btoro keepeis and small venders belug kept constantly on the go, delivering goods that have been ordered. Everyyear there seems to be a different, more I orderly and eubstantlal claßs of people coming t'i here, and the consequence is, many additional li and attractive improvements are rapidly spnng- ing up in all directions.. Now private residences, cottages aDd public houses are the order of the day, and the streets are being handsomely im proved. It needs just such enterprises, just such active gentlemen, to give a; permanent character to the fntnro business of the place. ' ' The lacllltles for sailing, fishing and othor amusements are more extensive than on formor years, and. these advantages arc duly appreciated by the citizens as well sb those who visit ns. A horse car is now running regular trips from the Surf House to tho Inlet, and the Little Giant is doing llkewiso to Absecnm. Tho work on our turnpike across'the meadows still drags on, and itisdonblful whether it will bo finished this season In time to be ot any nse. Tho truth of the matter is, it will have to pasß Into other hands before the work will be prosecuted with any de gree of vigor. Hopß and other social enjoyments begin to characterize the season here; but none of any great eclat will be given until after tho middle of the present month, a period when the real fashionables show tbemselveß to the best advan tage, while the gens dc peit improvise, amusements of all descriptions.
