[From Our Own Correspondent.] NKW Yokk, NOV. 0. 187G. The whole atmosphere ot New York is prickly with electricity like the air before a summer storm. The horizon ol the country, from etui to end, is thick with truth* rim* clouds which porterul the buttle ol the ele_ merits, hut the blackest are thorn which are rolling together over the metropolis ami whieh on Tnesduv will burst over oui In ads. The efforts ol tin* opposing ptrim* during these l ist tew >1 r.s of grace are simply gigantic, ami party enthu siasm is raised to a corresponding pitch. Every night the nn? >n ami stars pale before the smoky llake ot tens of thousands ot toreln-s, the blinking gleams ol calcium lights, ami the rainbow (1 tshes o! all pervading fireworks. Mass meeting :r11 r mns? meeting is called and crowded, the foremost orator* ot the land pour forth all their reaerves ot oloqnenco and invective from lost tun and balcony, while the multitudes ele-vr and tremble with excitement. The climax approaches. Well, thank Heaven, the long a.piny will soon bo over; the closest cam pxign of thirty years w ill be sullied, land a good many patriots?ah, it'we only knew which ones!?will get now hats enough to tide them over another four years. The beautiful nneert linty of the result has encouraged betting to an unusual extent, and the up town pool rooms are the busiest places in New York always excepting the headquarters of the two National Commit tecs, which arc like l?n hives in clover time. No one is apathetic. I have talked with a great many men, many ot whom as a rule keep entirely aloof Irom polities, but have yet to tin.I the man who is entitled to a vote and does'nl propose to east it. Mr- John Rogers, author ot the inimitable "Rogers droops," those exquisite miniature embodiments vl characteristic incidents in American life, has returned to his elegant new studio, corner ot Uroadway and Twcii ty-seventh street, Irorn his summer residence ill (kmueelietit, bringing as the result ot his vacation a now work which shines even among the most popular of its ol lor companions. This latest group is called "Weighing the Raby," and !il<o its predecessors tells its own story better than any words could do if. The mother lias just placed her baby in the grocer's scale, and the astonished grocer is piling on weight after weight, both unmindful of a small boy wdio, innocently leaning over the counter, holds down the ecoopful ot infant sweetness by slyly pulling on its overhanging blanket. Considering the number of pieces which Mr. Rogers has produced, it is somewhat singular that, he has never yet made one failure. No duo hut himsclt has ever achieved success either in the selection of subjects or their execution in this dirnunitive shape, while he seems never to fail. It he does the public never find it out, for ho gives forth no work thai does not have a strong point, ? \ i?! -.iiI and well put.

The labors of Mr. Bensen Sherwood and Mr. \V. K.
