brought to the capital a ewarmof

to share in tbe spoils of tbc Deraoc

boasted reform. For every office on

that all the Republican members ex-
cept
Spra?ue
are in favor of tee
measure,
while everf Democratic.
Serial. votrd against it.
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.

to take his place from the numerous
ranks of the homeless. 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.

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.

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. Betty was arrested as accessory,
two balea of stolen cotton being
found in bis store. He gave bonds
in $800 to answer tbe charge.

News of the burning of a large ves
sel of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company has been received in the
following dispatch from Hjng Konj
under dale of December lOlh.
The Pacific Mai! Compauy's s:c:iiii
sbip Japan, from i.wi Francisco and
Yokohama for this port, W;is destroy
ed by fire oa Thursday last w hen six
ty miles out from Yokohama. A few
of her crew and passengers have ar
rived here. It is Rared that many
lives Lave been h.s'.
Another dispatch received by Bu
fus Hatch, President of the Company,
SB VS
at midnight 0:1 ih. 17th inst., fortj
miles this side ! Swauw aud twelve
miles off the la:. The other boats
made fT hind. 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.
Her complement of boats w as calcu
lated with reference to the needs of
the vessel when carrying her full
number of passengers, or about one
hundred and fifty cabin passengers,
and 1,200 steerage, and tho number
on board last Thursday night was
ittju
less than r. third of this.

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,

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
