Here the Prince Of Swindler
will probably become an object Of general
admiration and regard, as the man who
succeeded in swindling the Yankees
No'hng will wholly deprive man Of at
tertion and respect from a certain class
except the loss Of property. To be poor
is the greatest Of sins, al that tribun us
Il is a pleasurable relief 10 see few men
using their gains with a moderate and
phi!anthropic spirit. Horace Greeley has
probably made fortune from the New |
York Tribune. Helives up town in very
small, though very comfortable style.
His funds are not expended upon pala-
tial residence, and those OF your readers
who have a glimpse at Horace, can vouch
that they are rot invested in "purple and
fine lnen;" neither does he fare sump-
tuously every day.
Starvation reduces people 10 the consd-
alton OF "frst principles" The half
famished ones in cir streets cannot be
made 10 understand by any course of logic
why one class should be permitted TO re-
vel in overhowing luxury, while they lack
the very elements Of life. It is a good
time for the seeds Of Socialism 10 take
root and spring up, and there are not want
ing those whs are eager 10 SOW them.
Hunger is a great revolutionizer. Soup
kettles are provided in various parts OF
the city, for gratuiious supply Of the in
digent. But the soup don't seem 10 go
down with the hungry people, for the
singular reason thst it is very thin. One
would expect it to 30 down all the easier
for that circumstance.
1t is sold that there are now 30 1000
women out Of employment in New York
City. How many men there may be 10
none kows.
Another war with Mexico, or even
with Russia would find no lack Of recruits
among our ravenous population. 1t is TO
be hoped that the public works, moving
The City Hall ruins, and cutting Park
Place through Columbia College Green,
will be commenced, 10 afford employment
10 the thousands of idle hands. If not
employed, Satan will soon find them work
to do. Loafers are abundant and Park
meetings, those ilnbecile, purposeless
gatherings are better attended than usual.
A hoax played off in Williamsburgh the
other day, brought 10 light the necessities
of the times. Some wag advertised FOR
large black dogs 10 be brought 10 the pro.
pretor OF small theatre in Williams
burgh the next day. The manager was
flooded with great black dogs all day, til
it appeared as though everybody had seiz-
ed on this opportunity to attempt 10 ge
rid Of his dogs; any quantity Of the eanin c
race OF all sizesAnd qualities might hay,
been bought dog-cheap in that vicinity
the theatre manager, was Of course, rather
! annoyed at being the involuntary center o.
I such a singular gathering.
New York seems to have become tn,
= starting point, for all kinds Of illegal ex-
. peditons. Ii is said that twenty-five
c slavers have sailed out OF this port dur n
= a year. Russia and Cuba expedition
: abound. Two vessels left here some SIM
since, armed and equipped, it was sup
posed for Cuba. They have lately turne,
up al ST. Thomas, under arrest by tn
Danish Government. The object of thi
expedition was 10 assist Gen. Paez in
descent upon Venezula. Tue persons ac
cOmmOdalsd with lodging in the static
house night before last, numbered 81;
/ homeless and destitute. An arrest hi
= been made Of gamblers who succeeded
swindlng a poor man out Of his coal f'
{ the winter. =
