"The moment I become really attached to any? body," she used to say, "I am certain to be in? troduced to somebody cleo whom I like better." -An anecdote comes from Paris of un Eng? lishman, who, when out riding, met another who ia very deaf. "Riding, I see, as usual,' screamed the gocd-natured Mr. X.; "and now ie your wife ?" "Just bought hur," replied the other; "and, to tell the truth, she is a baddish lot. .Yon know me. I never keep them if they don't suit mc, and I shall get rid of her next week." -A notable scene i B said to have been wit? nessed at the French Derby, illustrating tho triumph of virtue over naughtiness, when vir? tue puts forth all its charme. In an open car? riage, placed conspicuously near the- railings opposite tho club stand, were four or five co? cotte? in splendor of attire and negligent at? titude, naturally attracting the flower of the gay youths, away from those less obtrusive. Incensed at the attention which this display gained, a number of tho most celebrated ladies of tho bean monck, among them the Princess Metternich, the Countess Pourtales and the Mawrttf fltBtttt. crossed lo toe same ciao and all mounted to the top of a four-in-hand coach which some young blood had drawn np there. The display-display in more senses than one-created an immediate diversion, and the coco ties were abandoned. The stroke waa a bold one, and the triumph deserved. -The story goes that when the young Mar? quis of Ha? tings first proposed for the hand of his wife, before her engagement to Mr. Chap? lin, he missed his "tip" most decidedly. One morning, at breakfast, the lady's,nob!e father received amongst bis other letters that in which the Marquis proposed for her hand. Now the Marquis, from various causes, writes a very illegible hand, norse at some times than at others, bnt always bad. This time it was very bad indeed. "Dear mel" said thc old gentleman, "here's something from Hastings; I can't make it ont at all." Some of thoss pres? ent looked at it, and said it was an invitation to a pio-nio. "Ohl write and say we can', come." And thin was the answer actually sent io the Marquis, Soon after she was engaged to Mr. Chaplin, but bolted, meeting the Mar I quia at a finen draper's and marrying him right off. When she was Bafely wedded she wrote as follows to her affianced : "Dear Har? ry-I have married Hastings, and I hope I shall make him a better wife than I could ever have made, yon," which was candid, at j least, '"i-,^,.-?? POLITICAL SUMMARY. GOSSIP AMONG THE NEW YOEE POLITICIANS-THE DEMOCBATIO NATIONAL CONVENTION-CHANCES OT CHASE, PENDLETON, HENDRICKS AND HAN? COCK GETTING THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION, ac, AC. . \ - r. ?I The New York correspondent of the Boston Post writes under, dato of thc 12th instant: Interest in the Democratic National Conven? tion continues to increase. All other subjects have become seconda ry. Wherever a few men come together the conversation turns imme? diately upon the Convention and the candi? dates. According to popular opinion, aa it is indicated in the street and hotel gossip, the contest is narrowed down to four names Chase, Pendleton, Hendricks and Hancock. Horatio Seymour, at his own request, appears to be counted ont of the race. Possibly he ,may-come in again before the Convention meets, bnt the signs at present are that he is out for good. Chase seems to take precedence Just now, not ce a favorito, mind you, but on account of the startling novelty ol' proposing an Abolitionist for the high honors in the Democratic party. If surface indications alone were taken, one might really b elie vc that Chase would be the nominee. For my own part, how? ever, I do not yet believe it, ana I think a groat part of the Chase gossip afloat is mere sound and fury, signifying little. THE GOSSIP ABOUT CHASE. Down in Wall-street, up at the Fifth Avenue, in the heart of "the bloody Sixth''-(which means tho Five Points)-in "the busiest marts and tile quietest by-a tree ts, "io Chase move? ment # talked about, wejg, - - and dismissed as though it carried in its WOL J the fate of the country. And yet, with all thc interest it ex? cites, it may not come to anything. People talk about it. but that does hot prove much. They db not talk approvingly; thoy merely speculate When one man says he is in favor j of thc nomination of Chaso, twenty ask what its effects would be-what would bo gained by it ? What clement could Cha- e bring over that would insure Democratic success ? Can the party nominate Chase without stultifying it? self? Would it not loso moro than it could hope to gain by taking up a Reujib'icau ? Sup? pose fae should bring over alow of bia party, would hs not drive away as many old Demo? crats ? This is the drift of tho Chaso gossip outside ol strictly political circles. And yon will soe that it does not quite indicate a pur? pose to shoulder Chaso and carry bim through at all hazards. THE KEN m FA VOE OF CHASE. Bnt there is a class of substantial men, usu? ally co-operating with the Democratic porty, bnt rarely taking an active part in politics, who give tile Chase movoment a hearty en? dorsement. Thoy ara tho bankers, mere ?anLs holders of stock and wealthy men generally, who have a. profound belief in respectability and dignify. These men will support Chase, if | he gew the nomination, from motives not en? tirely political. They believo ho would make an upright and dignified Presidont, with a will and plenty of brains of his own, and with due regard for the interests of tho class they repre? sent. In comparison with the great mass whose votes most bo hod to elect any Demo? cratic ticket, these mon aro not by any moans numerous, nor can thoy he called in? fluential in a political sense. Thoy aro nut of the people. They nevor go among tho peoplo, and the masses have very little regard for them? Besides these there is another class, composed of politicians who care first for suc? cess. A good many of these have given out, in ono way or another, their readiness to sup? port Chase and urge his nomination, behoving that he wonld be an available candidate. They do not pretend that he wonld stand on a pla; - form of puroly Democratic principles, bnt thoy think tho porty should abato something in this respect for the sake of beating Grant. They may be honest men, meaning well for the wholo coun. ry, but their proposition to even tempo? rarily deviate from the principles which havo been thus far tho life pr tho party docs u-.t seem to moot the approval of the masses. THE SIEN AGAINST CHASE. We still havo in New York a large class of { Democra s who believe in State sovereignty, who do not believe in universal negro suffrago at tho South, and who emphatically deny the validity of the measures wboroon tho recon? struction of tho South is based. These men vigorously protest against Chase, and will not be siloucod. Tho letter of tho Chief Justico, which has just been published, supplies them with precisely the ammunition they want, Chaso says he abates no jot or tittle of his "old creed ot equal righiB," and he would be grati? fied if the Democratic party would go in for uni? versal suffrage and indorse the pending ?lan of reconstruction. Ho does not desire > bo a candidate for office, but he leaves it to be inferred that he has no par? ticular obj cction. He intimates pretty pl ai n 1 y, however-or at least such is the construc? tion placed upon bis letter by old-fashion? ed Democrats-that he would require a plat? form of his own making, or its equivalent- one embodying the iduas in his letter. The old fashioned Democrats will not concode this at all. Tbey have no objection to equal rights be? fore the law, but thoy have the strongest kind of objection to indiscriminate suffrago at tho polls, and they will not lend themselves to givo binding force to tho rocoustiuction mcasuros os thoy stand. Tho element which those men reprosont may not bo strong in influence, but it is powerful in action. I do nut say that any groat part of it would stay away ?rom the polls in tho event of Charo's nomination, but I know that without the wholo of it Chaso would stand a very poor chance of being oloctcd. CHASE AND THE SOUTH. Among the reasons urged for tho nomination of Chaso is thc rather singular one that ho is acceptable to the South, and that, as thc South bas the greatest intered in thc result of tho election, the Noi them Democracy should ac? quiesce in any election tho South chooses to make. It is quite truo thal some Southern pa? pers have lately spoken favorably of Chase, but it is equally true that the Southern Democracy, so far as they havo spokon at all, havo express? ed tho purpose to leave the selection of a can? didate K> tho North. They havo not said whe? ther thoy want Cbaso, Hancock or Pendleton. They say to the North: "You select the mun, and whatever your selection may bo, wo shall sustain it." No doubt the South would support Chase against Grant, if they had no other choice, but they have not the least intention of asking the Northern Democracy to stultify themselves. Nor wonld the lattor do so, ? think, even if the South requested it. It seems to be a narrow view that sees only thc South interested in the campaign. Every State in the Union is deeply interested, and men of foresight know this and will act and adviso ac? cordingly. CHASE SUMMED UP. If writing purely in tho interest of party, I could easily put moro roso color in what my letters contain about this and that movoment. But the duty of a correspondent, as my old fashioned notions suggest it, is to reflect opinions and chances as he boars and ?e*a them, not to make np either for effect. Well, then, though Chase has a good many advo? cates in New York, and though lim nomination is likely to be strongly urged by wealthy men and by politicians, the chanoes are nine ont of ten that ho will fail in the convention if pre? sented. When one penetrates the surface of the current talk about Cb ase ho finds very little whereon to base a supposition that Chase could get genuine support. At any rate, this street gossip and tho speculations of hotel lobbies are of little account. Neither the streets nor the hotels will have a single vote in the convention. It is easy for you or I to discuss the affaira of our neighbors, and say how they should be regulated, but the business of regulating them is in other hands. Th? prevailing moling among thoughtful men is that the campaign ' inst be fought on principles; that Democrats must fight undor their own colors. Chase in* timates quite plainly that He does not carry Democratic colors, but that he would like the Democracy to go over and fight under his. After measuring all the rumors and Weiching the indications, I venturo to predict that tho Democratic Convention will nominate a man who has always been in sympathy with Demo? cratic principles. PENDLETON" AND HENDRICKS. Tho opinion of some quasi Republican jour? nals that tho contest will ito between Chase and Pendleton is not shared by Democrats. At tho outset it will probably be between Hancock and Pendleton, though the first vote will be pretty well scattered. Governor Seymour, Governor English, Governor Haight, Governor Parker and a few others will receive complimentary votes, and the Convention will then settle down to business. Anything bike prominent strength for Chase will be a surprise to outsiders. There is no doubt that Pendleton will come into the Convention with a stronger booking than any other man, and that on earnest effort will be made to gire him the nomination, but he will not be forced on the party. On the contrary, [ if his friends find that ton nomination would be disadvantageous to the party they will, by his own instruction, with? draw bis name. In this evont the West will fall back on Hendricks, an older and more ex? perienced man, and one whose record is not in the least degree objectionable to any section. For Pendlotou personally every Democrat en? tertains tho highest regard, and under differ? ent circumstances would he glad to testify their regard by supporting him unanimously. Should Hendricks be the choice of tho Convention, with a popular Eastern or Middle State man for the second placo, the ticket would receive hearty, enthusiastic support in every State that the Democrats are likely to carry at all. Hoffman's name is still considered a good one to go on tho ticket with Hendri ks, chiefly on account of its popularity with tho Germans. Another mentioned for the same place is that of Governor English, of Connecticut, a gen? tleman of experience and irreproachable char? acter. THE HANCOCK MOVEMENT. General Hancock's frlonds aro still working" vigorously for their favorite, and will mako a stirring demonstration before the convention meets. They havo beon comparativo!}' quiot since tho Chase movement became prominent, but they oro nono tho less sodnlous io his be? half in private. Hancock is deservedly popu? lar, as a soldior, a gentleman, and a true pat? riot, and his popularity cannot suffer by a comparison of his record with that of Grant. 'Tho absurd story that he was on the military court that tried Mrs. Surratt is still credited by some persons who should know botter. An intelligent gentleman to whom I was speaking about Hancock, a few days ago, objected to him on tho basis of that story. General Han? cock's connection with the Surratt case was* simply this. Long beforo the death of Lin c lin he took command or the Department of Vt'ashing ton, and had command of tho troops there at tbe timo Mrs. Surratt was executed. The preparations for her execution were con? ducted under orders issuod by Stanton. Gen. Hancock had no moro responsibility in her death than auy captain in his command. He is too chivalrous a gentleman to do anything unworthy of a soldier..' TJtK DEMOCRATIC oOLDIlTlR. The Btirriag demonstration for Hancock will probably bo made al Cooper Institute beforo the meeting of tho National Convention at Tammany Hall. The Instituto lias been en? traped for tho Convention of Conservativo Soldiers and Sailors, to bo bold on tho samo day with tho National Convention, and will be attended by some bf tho best fighting mate? rial tho country had in tho war times. There will be largo delegations from every State rep? resented in the armv, and tho Convention promises to be very different from tho ono hold by bummers and quartermasters in Chicago. Hancock himself is expected to be present, and Gens. Franklin, Blair, Couch, Granp.-r, Morgan, Slocum and others of unimpeachable record will also bo tbero. Tho real veterans of tho war are not disposed to be mealy-mouthed about Grant. They knew the man, and have very little regard for him. One of tbem -a one-legged captain-expressed thgr senti? ments exactly before a Democratic 'Club last night, by saying tho rank and file should not go over to tun enemy morely becauso tho Gene? ral had turned traitor. OROANIZI.NO FOR THE CAMPAIGN". Besides, the old Empire-Club which has boen resuscitated, and which was tho most powerful political club in tho country twenty years ago, several campaign clubs have been organized hero within a few days, and many moro will soon be started. Ono condition of membership is that the person joining shall givo hoarty support to tho nominees of tho National Con? vention. These clubs will multiply when tho nominations aro made, and meetings will bo hell nightly in tho different wards of this city, and throughout tho State. When tbe campaign is once fairly opened thore will bo hardly any? thing but politics until November. 'Fifes, drums and brass bands, sky-rockets, calcium lights and Roman candles ; red lights, white lights and bim lights ; speeches, leaders and resoiutions-these are the things in store for us, and right glad will wo bc when we soe and hoar tho last of them. THE ??MAN OF THE WOKJLU." MANTON MARBLE-THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK "WOULD"- "THE WORLD" AND ITS HISTORY SHREWDNESS OF THIS EDrrOB-tN-CHIEF-HIS PE B8 ON AL CHARACTERISTICS. The New York correspondent of tho Chicago Tribune writes : Manton Marble is tho younger t ol' thc editors in-chief of the metropolis, and compared to the rest, is what Cicero would call a notus liomo. He was, i believe, attached to the staff of the Evening Post for a number of months, but first emerged from his obscurity when tho. World newspaper waa established, if my mem? ory serva, in 1860, as a one cont religious paper, so painfully pious that it would not receive thc theatrical advertisements for lovo or largess. ANTECEDENT!". Manton M irble wai hoi u, I am informed, in Rhode Island, and graduated from Rochester University in his nineteenth year; but contem? poraneous history docs not finnish auy satis? factory data of Ins circumstances and paren? tage. lt is presumed, however, that he inherit? ed little moro than ago d classical education, and that he carly sought to carn iii? own liveli? hood. Ho bad at first s .mic ambition to be? come a lawyer, but (hoovered in himself so strong a bias for" writing, that aflor scribbling for tho Providence pa 'en?, he concluded, though unheralded and unknown, to remove io tho metropolis of New England and seek hi? fortuuc thoro. Ho had written enough lo awake the admiration of his youthful friends and to gain confidence in himself. Long be? fore lie quitted college he was acuounjod un? usually clever with his pen, and is said io have written thc theses of his less capable follow-* students, and to have shown as much vari ty as activity in compositions of his own. HIS FIRST EDITORIAL RETORT. He went to Boston and solicited a position on one of tho daily papers. Ho was asked to show fl specimeu of his work, and decided to report Forrest in Lear, who was thcu perform? ing at tho Athcncum. Marble attended the performance, and wrote at the close two columns of very able and ex? haustive criticism upon the play, its historic character, and ita represcutation'by the "great American tragedian." For so young and in? experienced a writer, the critique was remarka? ble, delighted the editor, and pleased the pro? vincial City ot Notions. He was engaged the 1 next evening upon the regular staff, and con? tinued in tho office for two years. He subse? quently connected himself with other papers at the "Hub ;" but finally outgiowiDg Bunker Hill aud Boston Common, he came to Broad? way and Central Park. THE WORLD. He went upon the World SB a genoral writer, ftt ft salary, J haye been told, of thirty dollars a. week, and rapidly mae in tbs establishment until he nae made editor-in-chief. . The paper changed hands, character and politics, Wae re? volutionized half a dozen times; from religious became secular, and then political; was mildly Conservative; grow Republican : waxed Demo? cratic-feeble at first, ferociously at last; and amid all those changes Marble held on and de? veloped with them into the latest form and freshest shape. What his politics were origually, no ono seems to know. Perhaps he had none; and it ia said that at college he cherished few convic? tions, bat left his mind free lo embrace what at that time seemed best, The Republicans declare he is, or ought to ba, with them; bat that he has temporized, and followed where his interest led. Bach statements, however, are somewhat Gratuitous. Even if Marble ia individually what be ia pro? fessionally, a man of thc world, he ia a shrewd and successful one; and it is no one's affair what he privately thinks or believes. Ho says daily through his columns that he is an ultra Democrat, and aa auch the public is bound to accept him for wool or woe. . When Marble went into the World be was not supposed to be worth anything, and he now hos a large interest in the journal ho con? trols, report making him own ct of one-third of all the shares, which can hardly be worth lees, for bis portion, than $100,000. He has mani? fested tact and energy in getting hold of the stock, and lifting himaolf from a more salaried subordinate to the chief editorship. Ho re? ceives a salary for his services of $6000 a year, and his present income from his shares onght to he at least $10,000 to $12,000 more. The financial history of the World has been varied. It sunk monoy with energetic libe? rality for several yeaas-$300,000 to $360,000 having been swallowed np in its fluctuations, all the way between th?ologie sanctity and pugnacious partisanship of the most confirmed character. The paper ia no doubt on a ply? ing basis now, and its profits last year are stated to have been about $25,000, with* pros? pect of a material increase the current year. LEISURELY LA BOX. Marble, though still young, is not a hard worker in tho sense in whioh Greeley and Riy mond are hard workers, fie manage? and directs the fourth or editorial pago alone, leav? ing tho other departments to the care of a subordinate. He writes most of bis edito? rials, not long nor frequent usually, in bis own library up town, whore ho lives very comfort? ably if not luxuriously, sending his manuscript to the office and receiving proofs at his resi? dence. He waa married four or five years ago_ to a young woman of fortune, but whether or not they have given hostages to fortune, aa Lord Verulam styles it, my prolific gossip doea not say. ACQUIREMENTS AND ASPEABANOS. Mr. Marble ia a man of fine culturo, being well versed m intelkctnal philosophy and tran? scendental metaphysics. Ho has read Hume and Hamilton, Buckle and Mid, Spcncor and Comte, and hos dallied with Kent and Schel? ling, Fichte and Hegol, aa much as an active journalist conveniently can, muss is ted by men? tal cobwebs and vate of Inger beer. Ho is about forty, possibly younger, and tliough he looks materially older than he did at the beginning of the war, he would generally be consideren handsome. Indeed ho can lav moro claim to personal comeliness tbnh any New York editor of prominence, and his manners and presence aro very good and decidedly proposaessing. Ho is under the medium size, rather too heavy for his stature; his dark eye?, black hair, the deep olive complexion anil the f~rm of tart?rea that mark those who have Hebrew blood in their veins, but have long since ceased to wor? ship in tho synagogue. Thia, however." is only a physiological acci? dent-Marble heine, it is said, a descendant of Puritanic stock, and his ancestors residents of Now England for thros generations. . CA PT.UN Tn AVIS n? TBS FIELD-PISTOL VS. SHOT GUN.-A very interesting pigeon match ot an unusual character was recently decided at Sharon, Po., Henry Crosthwaite being matched against Captain John Travis lo shoot at ton eingiu birds each, tho former with a idiot gun and thc latter using a pistol. Tho gun was a mnzzlc-loa er, no wiro cartridges, and Mr. C. used ono and a quarter out ee shot, at thirty-five yards rise and ton yards boundary. Tho Captain usod boll No. .5, standing ten yards from tho trap, and being allowed t:n yards boundary. Crosthwaite commenced by killing lour birds consecutively; the fifth was a miss, tho sixth foll fifteen yards from the trap, tho seventh was killer), the eighth was missed, and tho two following killed, making in all soven birds ont of ten. Captain Travia thou took np bia position, the betting be ng $100 to $20 that he could not kill four ont bf tho allowance, with no takers. He missed the first, killed tho throe next, missed thc fifth and sixth and killed tho four remaining, thus making a tic. Tho match was decided a draw.
