We trust to fee this bill speedily pass ; the House, after the holiday adjournment, as it is me ucsi auu most practical proposition jet suo, milted for the adjustment of our finan cial difficulties. We lave beld all alyng, and still believe, that the re storation of business to its usual channel, is dependent more upon a fixed and settled policy being adop ted than upon tbe policy itself. Moneved and business men want to know wbat tbc policy is, and they will soon shape their course to meet the end iu view. It is the uncer tainly that has surrounded the future financial 'policy of the Government that has kept business in its present ..n.-ottled condition. Had this nieas- ! ure been adowted last session, we be- I ..... f ,1 . lieve that ere this the business oi me country would bavc been restored to its condition before the panic. The introduction of free banking, atd thereby the abolition of the pre sent monopoly enjoyed by the na tional banks, tbe substitution of silver coin for the present fractional curren cv, and the fixing of a time certain fur n return to snccic ra vnicnts. are all features that will commend them selves to the general public. Of course the Democratic politi cians arc opposed to this bill, and the Democratic press is denouncing it with vigor. The gist of their hos tility to it is readily comprehended, and is summed up in two brief sen tences. DiS passage shows the Re publican party to Lc again united on the only national issue on which it was divided, it win restore puuuc confidence and lead to a general re vival of business. Thus in tbe coming Presidential campaign, to which tbe Democratic party is making everything bend, they will be deprived of the two chief cards they contemplate playing di vision in the Bepublican ranks and the depressed condition of business hence their hostility to this measure. The moderate Democratic press, tbe St. Louis fit-publican. f r exam ple, admit tbe substantial truth of the latter revelations as to the Yicksburg horror. The facts, as condensed from the detailed accounts in the journal under mention are these. First, that the recent troubles in Yicksburggrcv out of the desire of some Democratic politicians to obtain eoutrol of the lo cal offices. Second, that the Bour bons went into the election campaign with a thoroughly armed organiza tion to carry tbc municipal election, aud succeeded oy overaw ing tbe col ored men. Third, after having car ried the city, they determined to oust the county officials whose terms had not expired. Fourth, they compelled every white man who bad bis name upon the colored Sheriff's bond to withdraw it, and thereby vitiated it. Fifth, when new bondsmen were obtained, they tampered with the Gram! Jury and the Board of Super visors, and prevented its approval. Sixth, they then forced the Sheriff to leave and sign bis resignation upon peril of his life. As soon as tbe op portunity was offered, be recalled his resignation, and called upon the citi zens to aid bim in holding his office Out of this grew the hunt after the negroes, which resulted in the death of so many of that class, and of so few of the w bites. This is tbe kind of peace and good will, political fair ness and regard for the colored man that the old rebel element of the ?oulh proini3es.FI7(,6ur07i Gazette. 1 OlenlnKl Malprax-lire.

These chil- dren sleep in store boxes, ia ash-bar-reTs, in hay lofts any place tbat can afford a protection from the w ind and rain. For food, the garbage barrels give them something, the light chan ces of chance jobs another part, and theft tbe remainder. The Children's Aid Society, an in stitution which is practical in its de signs and methods of work, deter mined to purifv the "Hook" and to that end established a lodging bouse for boys. A large building was leas ed for" that purpose in Rivinirton street, near the East River, and plac ed under the superintendence cf a man wbo put his heart into the w ork, and was not afraid to go out after night in search of these homeless youth?, sometimes bringing home as many as a half a dozen to a good supper and a comfortable bed. j A bov who has no money is given food and lodging free if they have money, five cents is charged etch for meals" and beds. A night school, where these Arabs are taught to read and write, is in full operation. A bath-room is free to all, as well as a library and reading-room in which! all the dailv and weekly papers are filed. The effect upon the boys has been j wonderful. Tho Superintendent, backed by influential citizens who fjive a good pbare of their time to the work, hot only feeds and clothes the boys, bnt be instructs them how to get an honest living, aad aids tnem to get in the way of it. Since the House was opened it has fed and sheltered no less than C,o00 different boys; furnished 201,250 meals; provided homes in the V est for 420 boys; found employment for several hundred others in the City, and restored 1C0 truant boys to their friends. Hundreds have been educa ted. The good work goes orj. so that tbCSociety kas been obliged to lease an adjoining baildiug, to afford more room for tbc purpose of the lodging house and school. There is no reformatory enterjvrieo in the City that has accomplished more or better work than this. 1 here ought to w twenty of them where there is one. NF.W YORK VS. THE INTERIOR CITIES. I have mentioned several times tbe trouble New York ' is laboring under at this time concerning her trade. Tbe merchants of tbe city have final ,y discovered tbat the loss of trade is Dot chargeable altogether to "hard times," but that the cause is deeper. An act passed in 1870, made ports of entry of Chicago, Cincinnati, Toledo and various other cities in the west, and provided tbat goods might be im ported direct in bond, appraised at the point of final destination, and the du ties be collected there. In conse quence of this, the importing trade increased very largely in tbe interior cities, for the retailers were not long in discovering that they could pur chase foreign goods just 'as well in those cities as in New York, and even better, for beside the cost of transportation there is a system in doiDg public business in New York that is expensive to the outsider. Tho importers here will make a vig orous effort this winter to repeal tbe law, and compel dealers in imported goods to buy in tbe Atlantic cities, as of yore. The West ought not to permit this. The privilege of direct importa tion to Western cities, has brought mourniDg to tbe extortioners in and about tbe Custom House, and has se riously injured the importing busi ness here, but it has saved the West hundreds of thousands of dollars. There is no reason why tbe cities of the West should not have all the fa cilities for importing tbat tbe Allan- tic cities possess, nor can thero be any good reason given for giving three or four cities a monopoly. Look ont, gentlemen of tbe West, for the New York importers in Congress this winter. TOLITICS In tbc citv is mixed. The Democra cy are fighting over the spoils; and the Republicans are lying back wait ing for events. The Democracy have never yet profited by a victory, for the fact is their political ventures arc all for spoils. They win a victory and immediately spoil the effect of it, by not knowing how to improve it. or rather not caring. They will plunder the city and State right and left for a year, and then the peoj.le will rise and oust them. The Re publicans have a sure thing on the State, in the long ron, so long as the Democracy arc controlled by the.men who now hold th power in tbat or ganization. To succeed they have to promise plonder, and those to whom they promise are very sure that the promises are fulfilled. Then the peo ple when they get tired of be.ing plun dered they dethrone the thieves, who stay out till tbe people get careless again. You may look for a reaction next fall. I jrophesy it. HOW TITE THINO IS DONE. I attended a funeral yesterday. It was the last office I conld perform for a yonng man wbo was, in bis life, a friend of mine, and as a friend I fol lowed bim to bis grave in Greenwood. He bad only reached twenty-eight years when be died, but such years as he bad lived! Tardon me if I give some ppace to the history of one who is a representative oi a class that is unfortunately too numerous now, and is daily getting more so. My . friend was born rich. His father was origi nally a tanner, and bv a long course of honorable industry and good man ageruent accumulated wealth reat ea!th. He died a dozen years ajro worth a million or more, leaving one son, my friend, and three daughters, Tbe young man received a collegiate education, and, graduating came back to Xew York to live. Life was to him as rose-tinted as possible. Oceans of money, excellent society, a splen did home, everything in short that a man could have to enjoy life and c happy. He joined clubs, of course, he instituted a stable, of course. He proposed to live. He made the ac quaintance of all the men who live, and he found plenty of them willing to help him. He had no business to do, for w hy should a young man with j a million do business or botht r about ' it? His father had made the money for him to enjoy it. His life was a routine very easy to describe. The morning at Lis clubs drink. The afternoon in all sorts or places drink. p for pation later in the day. Drink to drown remorse drink, drink, d.mk.

Are there uot similar cases in your locality? THE SUNDAY QUESTION assumes more importance every day. The Germans aud French back up the "sacred concert" theatres, aud the Americans generally support, those endeavoring to crush them out. And the fight is waxing warm. The Broadway Theater was open last Sunday night with their ghastly melo-dramas, as usual, and the old place was jammed with people, of the class who do go to the theatre week day nights half grown boys aud girls. It was a wild night they ma Jo of it. It seemed as though the fact that '.heir amusement was illegal aud likely to be interrupted, gave au ad- j ditional zest to it. for never ia the; history of the place were peanuts soi literally masticated or applause 0! freely aud boisterously given. It was! a pandemonium irorn me. rising 01 tne , curtain to the going tlowu ct tue same. The bcergardens and 'Concert Saloons" were iu full blast, the police uot having been instructed to make raids upon them. It is singular that the work did not commence with them, 1 for if the theatres are, as Talmadge styles them, "the vestibules of hell," these places are in the exact centre. They ate the resort of. the lowest, vilest men aud women that the Al mighty for some, to us unknown, purpose permits to exist, and the orgies nightly held in them would put a debased Fiji Islander to bluth. But somehow the police pass them by w ithout an effort to break them up. U"P- BUSINESS is improving steadily in many of its branches. The strikes are all over, and though laborers are on short time ud reduced pay, they are squeezing through better than was anticipated. The coming of tbe holidays has put a great deal of money in active circula tion, and there is a briskness, which, if it be spasmodic, is pleasant. THE WEATHER The weather is pleasant and brac ing, and the health of the city vastly- improved. May the good we have be iccreaaed. I'lF.TRo. Iliilnny Rubber Arretted. Memphis, Tenn., December 2:1. Last week William Kiiisbury, Jordan Ivcy, Yan Hatfield, 'ienry Wood, Carey Young, and Yincent Betty, all colored, were arrested at West 1'oiot, Mississippi, for the systematic rob bery of the freight cars on the Mo bile and Ohio Railroad. All of them are prominent colored men, Betty be ing county treasurer, and Ivey an al derman. Their mode of operations was for one or two of tb? gang to force an entrance into the cars until the traiu had gotten under way, then to throw off tbe cotton, merchandise, etc., which was gathered up by oth ers and taken to Ivey 's or Betty's stores, where tbe marks were de stroyed and the goods or cotton sold. They have been operating for a Ions time, and it is supposed their rob beries amount to many thousand dol lars. Oa being arrested, Kingsbury made a confession which led to the arrest of the others, several of whom made full confessions on being arrest ed.

Further particulars shortly. The s'.e.iiner left Nan Francisco on November 11th with a mixed crew of American and Chinese sailors. There were eight cabin passengers and 442 steerage passenger.-, of w hom all but IS were Chinese. The vessel car- , ! ried 973 tons of freight, mostly flour; $350,000 iu treasure and the L nited States mails fr Eastern Asia. Yokohama wttrf reached Dec. 10, all in good order. From the meagre ac counts which have been telegraphed it appears that the lire broke out at or near miduigbt, probably like the similar accident to the America in Yokohama n 1S72, just after tbe passengers had retired. It is alto gether improbable tiiat anv lives were lost. Had this occurred it would! nave been certain to lind a place in the dispatch to the company, and all the indications point to a smooth sea and pleasant weather, which would have given ample time for the removal of all the pu.-s;.-ugt rs in the boats with which the vessel was fully provided.

A large propor tion of these are now in want. I'eo ple in the eastern part of tho State are doing all i:i their power to pre vent suffering on the frontier, but the extent of tne destitution War rants the conclusion that they are un equal to the emergency. Flour, po tatoes, hominy ami beans for food, and clothing, especially for women aud children, are most needed. Feed fur stuck is also much needed, as is also spring wheat, cru, o:Ms, barley aud flax fur planting. The winter thus far has been very favorable, and the prospect for a good crop of wheat is most excellent. A large increase of average has been S) n, and if no unforeseen misfortune should occur to these people, they .will next year be able not only to subsist themselves, but also to assist unfortunates in other localities.
