Philadelphia, July 1.—Though General H. W. Slocum has been Iu the city since Tuesday afternoon, he has not yet as sumed command of the national military encampment, and it now looks as if he will not do so at all. General Slocum make* tbe excuse that he left his uniform behind him. but people who are ac quainted with the inside workings of the mat agement say Slocum to riissattolled with the whole affair. Colonel Hetoick, of tbe Second Oht > Regiment, ha* been in command attire Tuesday morning. He nays he is going away to morrow to see his family at Ocean Grove, N. J., and the command will, (herefore, fall I’ dHiel 1 rump, of the K-ntucky State Guards. The latter refuses to as sume command, and says sooner than do vo he will order hi* men to break ranks ami go home. There is a good deal of dissatisfaction among loth officers and men at the cool treat- t.iey have received since tin irarrival None of the Philadelphia military organ izations turned out to welcome them, and only a few of the soldier* have visited the Philadelphia armories. The local military authorities say they exceedingly regret the turn thtogs have taken. They say they were not consulted nor was their co-operation asked. There is also a good deal of disappointment manifested over tbe poor arrangements in the camp. Wa ter is scarce and hard to get. In fact it has come to be generally understood » moDg tbe troops that if the encampment is to be made a success they will have to do the work themselves and not depend upon the management. The feeling ol uneasiness concerning the prizes hits been growing among the compantoa that lutend taking part in the competitive drills. An officer said yesterday that he would not allow his men to go on the drill grounds until he tees the prize money put up. The prizes that have been offered amount to over JJ'.'mj ami the oilier expenses of the camp will reach $40,000 more. If the management ia to come out whole or make any money at all the public will have to respond more cheerfully than it has done so l A The friends of Governor Under wood say that he baa not received the sup port of to* people of Philadelphia as he de serves. The task he has undertaken involves a i ig outlay of money ami the ex pendiiure of much time and labor. He nas had no one to help him, though tbe reception and other committees include the names of tbe most p*ominent citizens of the city. Gov. Underwood 1ms been compelled to do all the work himself. The management is looking hopefully toward tbe next three days for big crows to attend. The men have profited but little so far in reepect to discipline. Of the latter there has been little or nothing, tbe men going to and re'-nrofog from the city at their own sweet will, lo-night is the first night that any sort ot strict discipline has been instituted. Colonel Hetrlch issued an order to day that no man shonld leave ctuip without permission from his superior officer, and that no one should pass the lines at ntriit without giving the countersign. Admission to the grounds to-day was free to the public, but beginning to-morrow twenty-five cents will be chargeo. Four companies of artil lery drilled to-day in competition, and the remainder of the day was con sumed in reviews, exhibition drills audn dress parade. To-morrow the infantry will begin competitive drilling.

London, July 2.—John Bright has writ ten a letter to.Deputy Ba»sy, of Paris, in wh’ch heenys: "If the European nations would accept commercial liberty, that to moderate or aboltob customs, Europe might aojB tend to an era of perpetual pence. At present all resources are swallowt-d up by military exigencies and the people’s interests are sacrificed to the most tutor ruble and culpa ble fantasies of foreign politics. Tne real intcre-ita of the tun.-srs arn trodden under foot in deference to false rotioua of glorv and national honor. I cannot help thinking that Europe is marching toward some great catastrophe of crushing weight. The military system cannot indefinitely be auppoited with patience, and the population, driven to despair, may possibly, before long, sweep away techni calities and the pretended statesmen who govern in their names. I hope your coun try and mine will remain at peace acd be real friends.” • PAIN. CHOLERA STATISTICS.
