State OF the C0untry--A New Moral hevoiu-

State or the Country--A New Moral RcvOlu-
tiOn.
We are in a singular, unaccountabe, Unprecedented
condition The revulsen in commerce and the sus-
pension Of specie payments will produce an ehect on
the action of political parties of which none can form
very opinion at this moment In no iormer
period of history il there any parallel PERIOD The
whole country is in a state of feverish excitement
Legislatures are eeting-procanatons issuing
banks suspendng-m merchants becoming politicians
and all the social edice rocking to its foundation
The effect of recent events the action Of the par
ties will be greater than any one can imagine. The
suspension OF specie payments becomes an entire new
element in the progress Of political events and what
it will bring forth remains yet to be At present
the government and the opposition, being both inter
ested in banks, abusing each other for the issue
and accusing each other Of being the cause
In the midst of this mutual elimination and recrim
nation, between the democrats and wings, there is
large body of the people who begin to look upon the
whole thing as base and fraudulent bubble. The
mass of the country is in favor of honesty justice,
good faith and integrity The violation of all these
principles by the banks, is rapidly creating and gene
rating deep and abiding sentiment of reproba,on.-
Ready money and integrity begin to be associated to-
getaer-cash and honesty making mutual love-
Hereafter paper money will be deemed the basis of all
RIGHTEOUSNESS in morals and all roguery in trade.
We the eve of great moral revolution.
BLowNG UP.-Sundry housekeepers want US to
blow up the mkmen for making use of bad water
TO dlae the tactical fluid, which serves molly t.er
tea and ccfee. They say that il is useless expect
they will not water it. BUT they do think they ought
TO get 1t as pure as they conveniently can. They
also suggest that it would be better mixed if the wa
ter was boiled first.
The milkmen insist on our blowing up the ferry
boats which they pay by the season. They complain
that although they allowed 10 pass freely dozen
times day with their milk, yet, if they try to pass,
without such incumbrance, they are charged the
any other passenger ana they think ex-
ceedingly hard, if they must always carry about
milk can like deg with tin canister tied to his
tail.
Somebody is very much in quicker to have us
blow up shaving shop-not brokers' offce-at No.
40 for charging sixpenc0 for washing with dirty
soap, water and towels
We are always happy to accommodate our friends
in the blowing up lne but must beg leave to decline
in each of these cases. From time immemorial
mkmen have been accused of being cold water men,
but it is a great Islander. The fact is-the cows on
Long Island are enabled to discount 50 freely only
ry Boats, the complaint only applies TO the Williams
burgh and Peck Slip boats-the others all do the
thing that is right-and about the ST. barber,
we wonder how any could imagine we would soil
our delicate fingers by medng with such dirty SUBJ
jsct.
MARKS OF CIvILrzAnoS.-Among the various let
tiers which we daily receive from our numerous cor
respondents, there quite amusing and orgi-
nal Others again are highly indicative of a certain
species of civilization and refinement peculiar to the
Wall street press, and the temper and tone paron-
zed by the politicians Of both parties. Here is one
droll specimen
New YORK, May 20, 1887.
JAMES GORDON BENNETr-SR,-I have found on,
that you dare to follow young lady sweetheart OF
mine that you know pretty well. II you do not mind
your damned rascally conduct shall smash your
ugly face, as you are nothing but damned black
ID. II.
Our special and polite friend ID. R.-whose name at
length is probably writ,en David Rascal--docs us
small injustice ara not that ever followed his
sweetheart never do such things II she is a pref.
ty girl, and il have seen her passing among others
in Broadway, it is probable ] may have admired her
To gaze at ladcs-to stare at them in the street.
much less to follow them is practice which neve
attempted and which consider vulgar, Jung entleman
ly, barbarian and abomnable. Ii is not sufficien
that such practice Is patronised by Asior Hous,
loafers-none can make il rcconciable to prepriet,
and decency
Yeti have some few sins. l confess honestly tina
there's to me nethag more delightful than to walk
a beautiful afternoon, alsng Broadway and I,
take peep at the beautiful wsmen from under one
eye brows, seeing without seeming to sec-admirins
without seeming to admire. ! would not exchang
such promenade for any this side of Paradise
Ii might have been pleasant as delightful as extac
on the first summer shining afternoon in the Garden
Eden before Satan the chief of lonfers entered tina
holy pl ce to gaze at beauty and follow the graceful
movements of Eve till he tempted her
To eat OF thai forbidden tree
Whose mortal taste brought death
Into the world and NIL our
1t might have been as pleasant there as in Broad
Wayne where else.
Mr.. David Rascal is probably render and patron
Of the Courier and EDqurerhe is incapable of feeling
the benign influence of the new philosophy.
TRxArnE.-Our friend, Lord Baron Hackett takes
benefit this evening nj the National. Such gal
