Relief In the Woxt.

To the Editor of The Tribune
In your journal Of last Saturday read very
touching communication from Discharged
Clerk, in which he portrays his dest;tuton and
sufferings. 1t is deporable truth that there are
thousands of our fellow-ctizens who have no en-
poyment and arc unable to procure any. Well
may the question be asked, What can be done to
alleviate the woes and suferings Of this portion
of our community In your reply to the ques-
tions of a Discharged Clerk, you recommend,
as you have often done, that those persons who
are in want of employment so into the country
This is the very best advice that be given, and
nv object in writing this is to subserve the inter-
es. of this unfortunate class by pointing out more
particularly the way in which they may proceed IL
order to place themselves beyond the reach of ex-
treme poverty. It is we'll known that good land
can be obtuiped in Illinois and other Western
States at the low price of two three dollars per
acre, where some of which has been put under
cultivation, and in that part of tho country too
which is rapidly filling up with hardy and indus
trious population. Now ten persons might unite
in purchasing, say GAO acres, which at the above
named prices would amount to 1880 or 1920 dol
lars, and in order to raise this sum, or little
more, to pay passage, &c. sell their furniture,
watches, in short every thing they could convert
into money and if they failed in obtaining the sum
in this way lot thom solicit loans of their friends
relatives and acquaintances anti they succeeded
then let them start for the West. When ,here and
their land paid for, apprehend they would expe-
rience very little trouble in erecting log cabins and
in procuring necessary implements for the cultiva-
ton of the soil. 1t is true they must lead for scmc
time life of toll, selfdenial and privaton, but
one thing is certain they could there supply them
selves with the nccessaries, if not with some of
the luxuries of life. In the language of Scripture
- their bread and their water would be sure,
while their ainds would be comparatively free
from those crushing anxieties, which like an incu-
bus had before weighed down their spirits. V

The Districts marked thus, eightin number,
were all that gave Whig majorites In the last cleo
ton. In the tremendous Harrison victory of 1870
the Wings had rnanritioe of $40 and in e1eoem
Districts, and smaller majorities in mine others
while the LoceFocos had majorities of over 500
in eieuen Districts and smaller majorities in three
others. With Wing majority of 10000 in th,
State we should carry just one-hal of the Delega
ton; with Loco-Foco majority of 10000, VIC
should have eleven and they twenty-three. And
this is what is called fair bill, and Loce-F ocos
are pluming themselves their generosity, and
Whigs complimentiug them thereon! Out on the
humbug
The division of this City is outrageously unfair
pnd unequal every way. Before the ten years OK
piros. the Sixth District will have population
tscice as great as the Third and several others
Now this disparity was wise necessary; the
City might have been divided very equally, but for
the game of keeping all the Loco-Foco Wards out
of the Lower City District, and piling as many Of!
them on the Fifteenth as possible, as to bury it
from daylight. Then Putnam and Rockand should
both have been united with Westchester, and the
two next Districts made larger. Now the South
Western and Central Districts generally made
much larger than they should be, and what they
lose is gained by Districts morally certain to in
crease slewly in population.
But the most outrageous feature Of the bill as it
stands is the formation of the three North Eastern
Districts. Washington and Essex, connected al
one corner by a thread, are bundled into District
to bury up their twenty-five hundred Wing maJori-
ty;, while the counties which surround Essex on
three sides are put inte another District The OBJ
lec, of this jugge is two-fod: FIRST, to give John
Cramer District which will send him to Congress;
secondly, to get two Loco-Foco Members ous OF
three from portion of the State giving 1000 1Vhis
majority at the lowest. This has been achieved
most foully.
We should have been better satisfied il Gov.
Seward had sent back the bill and asked a read
ustment of three or four ef the most abominable
Districts at least We hate Vetoes as heartily as
any man can but we think the public voice would
have sustained one on this bill.

LATER FROM RIO JAxElgo-By tie bark Col.
Howard, Captain Prentice, arrived last evening
we have Intelligence TO Esd July, and the polite
ness Of MIR. F. G. Foster, passenger we are in-
aeb:ed fo- the following intelligence.
The insurrectionists in the province OF St. Paul
are said TO be entirely subdued AFTER nune,o ors
battles, in which the Government troops, consist
ing chiefly OF rulattocs, fought with surprising
valor. All the country is in IN unusually quiet
state. The Province OF Minos Is not vet reduced
TO submissions, although the insurgents in thai
Province are in e state of inactivity. The bridges
betwe that Province and Rio not yet repaired,
and consequently not much has been positivel.

will soon Weld TO the Imper;alists. There wcr'
about 40 prisoners tuken 10 France Qnstcad OF
Lisbon, as before stated, amopg whom were sonr
very eminent citizens of Rio Janeiro. The cause
of this is said to have been the discovery OF great
quantity of arms ofall kinds in house OF q dis
tinguished citizen. Pajnu formerly an officer
under the Government, was a,aong those thrown
into prison at Rio.
Times are uncommonly dull a, Rio, and freishts

is filled with prisoners, taken during the riots on
the Welland Canal They continued their quar-,
rels even in prison, and to prevent murder, il was
necessary to separate the Consaugh ght men and the
Corkonians The Chronicle farther says
The interior Of this district has been in dread
full state, and from all hear is very little better
vet. Bands of dangerous men. armed, are prov
ling about in all directions, torcbly entering thS
dwellings of the inhabitants, and stealing proper
ty of all descriptions, more particularly taking
away all the arms they can lay thar hands upon

The MAJoRrTY.-The most singular majority
that we ever heard of is thai claimed by the Dorr
u,sn. They strenuously contend that they have
the physical force of the State in their favor and
yet they call upon foreign aid to help them ia put
ting down the minority. According to them, the
vast majority of the people, eTbracing the virtue,
intelligence, and courage of the State have fed
before a weak and cowardly minority. This is the
most curious kind of majority ever seen. and is
certainly mos, remarkable minority. The major
ity according to this account stands in suck fear
of the minority as to go out of the State to plot
the means Of reducing this minority TO submission.
