Important to Capitalists
The following correspondonoe possesses a special
interest to contractors at -this time, as well as to
brokers, bankers, and capitalists generally, and we
trust the latter will give hoed to Colonel Cross*
man's suggestion to avoid extortion in view of the
superiority of the securities:
Philadelphia, Xov. IS, 1861.
Bear : The undersigned have for some time
past been affording financial facilities to Govern*
znent contractors, by buying and lending on the
usual quartermaster general’s bill, with certificate
of inspection and receipt of storekeeper attached.
It having become a large branch of our business,
and the demand for money by contractors, owing tc
the delays of the Government in paying the bills,
having increased rather than diminished during the
past few days, and wc, being anxious to be able to
continue the facilities we thus far have afforded,
desire from you, in order to bo ablo to act to our
entire satisfaction, some information on the follow
ing points :
In case the goods furnished, receipted for, and
inspected, should at a later date, aud prior to the
out in f>nn fir
said goods, prove of an inferior grade than re*
quired by the contract (the bills having passed out
of the hands and ownership of the original con
tractor). would the Government decline paying the
billonihat ground—namely, that the good* were
not up to the required standard
"Would the Government, decline pnying any of
the bills on the ground that the party had only
completed part of the contract, and would not or
could not fulfil the balance thereof?
In short, we want to understand, in n clear man
ner, whether we run any risk in* lending on the
bills, provided they are in proper form, and, if so,
what are the risks?
You, of course, can see that under the present
delays in pnying eontractma it is absolutely nones*
sary that they should be able to borrow money on
their bills, and that we, as lenders, must be sure
that the Government will pay us as soon as the ne
cessary forms can be gone through and the money
remitted from the department.
If w& Mobot safely contintiO fa SdVfiHCG, 111 any of
the contractors would be unable to fulfil their con
tracts, and thereby greatly embarrass the Govern
ment ; it, therefore*, is of great importance that theso
bills should be fully understood and currency given
to them \ and it is the object of this letter, by ob
taining from you. in a clear manner, the poritiou
the holders of the bills (being third parties) would
occupy in case of a dispute or misunderstanding
between the Government and contractors, to put
the bills in such a position of general currency.
An mly answer wonM oblige,
Tours very respectfully.

Gentlemen* : Your letter of the ISth is received.
In answer to your inquiries* to wit; “In case tho
goods furnished, and receipted for, and inspected,
should, at a later date, and prior to the payment
of the bills ixade out in proper form for said goods,
prove of an inferior grade than required by the
contract, (the bills having passed out of the hands
and ownership of the original contractor,) would
the Government decline paying the bill ou that
ground—namely, that the goods were not up to tho
required standard?” I reply, No: Tho bill al
ways represents the goods as approved, and re
ceived into store* having the inspector’s certificate
and the military storekeeper's receipt, and, after
befog issued from this office, is a bona fide evidence
of debt on the part of the Government, and, when
signed by the contracting party in whose name tho
bill is mode, is as good as any demand Treasury
not*, (when funds have been sent to this office to
pay.)
You request me further to state, if a dispute was
to arise, what the difficulties would be in the Way
of the acknowledgment and payment of these bills.
There can he no difficulty in relation to thesebills,
if signed by the contractor. Forgery alone can
vitiate them. No power of attorney will allow any
party to sign the bills for the contractor, ana it is
necessary to be careful that the exact name of the
pflTty. ns on the head of tha bill* is signed to tho
receipt. A bill made out to a manufacturing or
other company, must have the name of the agent
on the heading of the bill, precisely as it is signed
to the receipt. I regard these bills, when issued
from this office, properly certified and properly
signed, as the very best class of securities that a
banker can loan money upon; and if the Govern
ment do not meet their obligations promptly. (as I
hope they will.) and should it be the unfortunate
necessity of our contractors to borrow money upoii
them, 1 sincerely hope that a reasonable rate of
discount shall be made in view of the superiority
of the securities. I will add that these bills pass
through our books with a critical examination aud
scrutiny, nnd, when issued, arc sure to be right.
verj r respectfully.
Your obedient servant,
G. H. Crosscan.

The Tenement Houses of New York.
At the last meeting of <he New York Sanitary
Association* the fie v* (L Ewer gave the following
interesting account of the tenement houses of New
York and their occupants. Mr. Ewer said:
I cannot take you as it were by the hand, and
lead you into certain of those livfog graves known
as tenant house?, for the details to be described arc
such as cannot be brought before this audience—
such as should not be even spoken of. But I may
say that there are houses in thi3 city by the hun
dreds. through which, after they are once built. U
is impossible ever afterwards to pass a current of
pure air; ihat in cellars, six feet below the ground,
there are 27,000 people in this city who make their
abode, cook, eat, sleep, hive together in all the
multitude, without the neatness of the ant; that
there are many single blocks eentaiaiag nearly
twice the number of families residing on the whole
Fifth avenue; single blocks that contain as many
families as would inhabit a continuous row of dwell
ings, similar to those on Fifth avenue, three or four
miles in length. There are multitudes of blocks
any ten of which cont&m to-night a larger popula
tion than the whole of the city of Hartford, or the
city of Utica, though they each cover an area of
several square miles.
Nor are these vile, dark spots confined to one lo
cality. They are net alone at the rear of the City
Hall. You cannot go to the IVilliamsburgh Ferry
at Grand street, without passing within a stone r s
throw of them. You cannot enter Trinity Church
without coming into dangerous proximity with
some of these houses of slow murder. You cannot
pass down town by the Sixth avenue railroad with
out almost crossing their pestiferous shadow. In
Laurens street there is a cluster of buildings, eight
on each side, facing each other, which is appropri
ately called Rotten Row. Hero poverty, filth,
crime, and disease are concentrated in one vast ur
ban ulcer. Wc are told that in a space only oue
hundred and eighty feet long by fifty feet deep
on each side, there are huddled together one thou
sand two hundred nnd fifty persons, In one roonii
says a visitor, sis people are living, with hens
scratching about on the bed. In some of these te
nant houses of our city the ceilings are so low as
not to allow persons to stand erect, and there is one
house mentioned which the rapacious landlord has
bad vvwnwvtvd to Md op? huu4rv4 and twvnty
nix families.
Mow, why has this state of things grown np ?
It is partly because of the princely rents that come
out of it. Some of the worst class of thaso houses
rent for their entire value every year. The little
miserable block I spoke of above yields 57.650 a
year. A little two-story rear building is mentioned,
containing ten apartments only, and fourteen fami
lies, which yields a year, or thirty per cent,
on its assessed value. The rooms rent for, perhaps,
an average of $3 a month. Mow, here are families
by the hundred living each in one room, and paying
for it nearly ?!Q0 o year because they think it is
cheap; ana paying this for no comforts—nay, ab
solutely renting, with their miserable shelter, an
atmosphere charged with vigorous seeds of disease
and death. Can we wonder that in the last fifty
years the ratio of deaths arising from merely
domiciliary causes. oyer which we have discoatrol,
has increased, in many instances, one hundred per
cent.; in cholera infantum, two hundred and fifty
per cent., and in diarrhoea one thousand percent.,
while in the same time there is no variation in the
ratio of mortality from diseases not due to such ex
ternal circumstances?
But is it alone at the door of avariciousness that
this state of things is to be laid ? Is it not to be
laid at the door of this community at large, which
goes on obliviously allowing such a state of things
to exist, and which does not demand of its legisla
tors correction of the evils by the wholesome re
straint of law ?
But I oft. Mi?. President, let me In a
word or two allude to the consequences of this cn
masoing of human beings—of this emptying of men,
women, and children, into an almost inevitable con
dition of filth. In these dens men and women
come «4 last to breathe, oyer and oyer again, tboir
own foul breaths, and those in the upper stories tho
rising breaths, in addition, of such as hire below
them. Nor is this all the poison that fills the
air of gome of these houses- The fetid animal oi.
halations from the persons of hundreds of the in
mates mingle their bane; the deathly gases from
lights and stoves, the fumes of miserable food, tbc
reeking odors of decomposing offal, (in Rag-Pick
ers‘ Row the nameless and innumerable stenohos
from thousands of old gathered street-rags,) the
effluvia from pallets of disease, and sometimes
from the corpse itself, unite to give those human
beings an atmosphere of death to breathe. Every
inhalation ia a poison- Each sends but corruption
down the arteries, and into every fibre of the sys
tem.
In many of these dens, too, men and women are
cut off to a great extent from the invigorating in
fluence of ft full supply nf light, and there moving
about in dimness if not in darkness, dispelled but
by the glimmer of a lamp, and breathing poison,
what can result but a depressing and a sinking of
the human system ? lam not here as an excuse? in
»uy way for iuobriatioo. But 1 think we must ad
mit, that in the sliding scales of man’s will and pro
pensities, there are passions and desires within us
which can be so roused as to be next to invincible.
When the human system, deprived of its power
ful natural stimulants, air, light, and water, begins
to sink, what is the consequence? The inevitable
consequence is a growing craving for some artificial
stimulant, to keep up its drooping vigor. Tbc more
the system droops the more does it become a prey
4o cheeribssnv&€ and depression of spirits and melan
choly ; and these drive it with more unerring force
to the intoxicuting cup for relief. And so there
they stand, the tivinfriends, melancholy and ardent
dri&fci tq chain the man down to ft sloth and
a neglect of person, and mind, and family, from
which at las . has no desire to rise, and t icu
to let loose mi ihe other passions to run their riot.
I hinted just now of the deaths that these vile
.spots are giving to our lists of mortality. What
indeed, first directed mj[ attention to this whole
.subject, was a statement in private conversation by
a member of (I c Sanitary Association, that by 'a
proper system laws eight thousand lives might
Annually bfc In ibl* city. The t*»*i
which was uuui-uuUy healthy, some six thousand
lives, it seems, were needlessly sacrificed.
Now. Mr. President, one thing is certain : the
{State possesses h moral character, and has moral
and many nth* rtinru*? identical with those hr *h •
individual —in uiu> uf buumiiity, the duty of pu
rity and order, the duty of intellectual progress.
The State recognizes the duty of paying debts, of
keeping irofitus, of preventing cruelties, of pro*
hibiting indecent a<stB, of assisting the progress of
science and intellectual culture ; and if it is her
duty to educate all her people, by what intellectual
alchemy can we make it not equally her duty to
take such measures as shall tend to unfold and ex
pand the moral sentiments ?
I think I may say, then, that the moral senti
ments are unfolded by good habits. And such ha
bits, if not voluntarily entered upon by these poor
people. should ho oreiiUd by \aw. Let these tenant
houses in their present condition be prohibited by
law; and let the people so vote that they
shall be abolished by law. Let it be rendered by
law impossible for one thousand two hundred
fifry ptt’plc to Urv togvibvr la vnv foiwfc —lot It bv
J rendered Impossible by law for ono hundred ant
‘ twenty-six families to crowd into one house. If
they do not know whnt they should have, give
them by law space and light and air and water, na
ture's stimulants, and you then not only dispense
with the Violent necessity for liqtuSl*, which the
brutal passions of man, rousetl by the depression of
: the human system, musk and will have, and you
; not only clear away much of the crime which fol
' lows tho intoxicating cup, but above all you create
habits wf nt least a modornto degree of Gleimlinoss,
habits of ventilation, and the like, and so yon un
: fold gradually their moral sentiments. You open
j a door which is now absolutely closed to the moral*
! ist and religionist proper.
