pavment by the Week.

This morning our paper comes to our SUBJ
scribers on n new system y-by-the.week
system, to speak to the point. We ION Saturday
last perfected an arrangement, which we hadfor
a long time before in contemplation. We have
but few words to say in introduction of this
system, for it is one that commends itself at
once to the common sense Of all intelligent news
paper readers. .. 5-.-t.,-sf
A great many of our exchanges, in accordance
with the requirements Of the stringent times,
have reduced tho size Of their papers, because
their business has diminished. great many
more unable to stand the pressure, have collapsed
and gone under, never to rise again. We don't
propose to be numbered among the suspended
or exploded institutions, after the financial storm
shall have passed. We intend, if extreme, I'M
RENTING night and day labor can avail anything,
that we will ride the tempest in safety. 10 this
end we have effected an arrangement with the
Messrs. Mooney, by which they undertake, for
an agreed per centage, to deliver to and collect
from our whole city and suburb list each week.
Such an arrangement is the only ono by which
n newspaper ever can prosper or improve: by
which it can discharge its current obligations,
both editOrially and pecuniarily. We, in common
with our cotemporaries, have hundreds and
thousands of dollars due rs in the city for our
last years iabors, good portion of which is for
subscription. 1t entails on us great expendi-
ture of time and money to so about and collect
all this, inasmuch as it takes an average of
about three visits to each person. Every once
and while we find that our paper has been left at
the residence ofsome such fictitious parsonage as
John Doe or Richard Roe, who represent some
one who long since has been gathered to his ia
theirs, or else in the eleventh month, perhaps,
Of his subscription, has been suddenly seized
with a feeling of "Westward, ho!"
We might recitc ten thousand reasons why
we have adopted the cash principle, but it seems
more reasonable to us that we Should rather
give reason for not doing so long ago, when
the system has been so fully proved to be the
only one by which a newspaper can be ably and
independently carried on.
The week system commences this day, and
NIL readers viii lay by their dime for the collect
or when he comes around on Saturday. This
rule applies to every reader. except those who
have paid in advance for this year. Allpcrsoas
wanting the paper by the week, can have it
served to them, by either leaving their names at
this Office or at Moneys News Depot.

The terrible distress actually existing among

ExEc1TIvE Observation-Disclosures this head,
VIC notice that some Of our State papers are con-
sidering the late action of Gov. Wise, in sending
on a portion of the arms of Virginia, to be used
nv Gov. Lieon OF Maryland, in his proposed
subsection of the City of Baltimore to martial
law. It was an act for all the world just like
Gov. wise-impulsive and inconsiderate-and
involving little of those qualities which enter
into the composition OF a true, clear headed dis.
passionate Statesman. 1t was bad enough, in
nil conscience, for Gov. Lyon, of Maryland, to
issue such proclamation-to intend to do as
il turned out be would not he suffered to do, but
there's some show of excuse for what he done,
when compared with what Gov. Wise did. Gov.
Wise cannot find within the pale of the cOnsti-
tuition, or laws of Virginia, any excuse for such
nsurpation. lie has ~ clearly transcribed his
office as if he had issued proclamation TO these
Same people, whom he was aiding toPut under
military rule We have no doubt that this &C
ton. on the part Of our executive, materially
tended to increase the American majority in
Baltimore. Why should it not do SOP No
free people would stand eaTelessly by and see
such a high handed act without trembling for
their liberties. When such acts arc allowed by
n people to go unrebuEed, then indeed, We
might consider that the patriotic FIRE within them
had gone out
We have little doubt, in view of all we have
read upon the subject that Gov. Wise has rem
dered himself liable to impeachment and removal
from Office. We have no idea, however, that he
will DO even soimpeached, or even ccnsured. he
deserves it just as plainly as did that high ham
ded act Of Jackson's, in removing the deposits.
1t will have one effect, probably, which viii
be to diminish, if not destroy, his chances for
an election to the U. S. Senate. He has shown
tb.t he is not the man for so responsible am Office
in a time of public emergency. Danger from
abroad nigh, as thoroughly confuse his actions

PoITIcAL SuMMARY.-Thc Election in New
York has gone to the Democrats by about 5000
plurality over the Republicans, so far as heard
from. The returns yet TO come in will not ma
tcrially affect the general result. The Demo-
Gratis have also probably elected majority of
the Members of Assembly. The Senate remains
in the hands of the Republicans. Eighteen Re-
publican Senators are elected aginst ID Demo-
Gratis and l Fusion candidate. The total of ma
orities so far, on the State ticket, is as follows:
Dmocratic majorities 42,4T9
Republican majoritics 34,1i9
Democrats ahead S,37S
The returns from Wisconsin show III jority
of about 5000 for Randall, Republican lidate
for Governor The Republicans have ais ma
jority in both branches of the Legislature, and
so have made clean sweep of the State. The
vote however, shows large falling off On the
Republican ticket. Fretnonts majority in the
State was 2,66S.
In Ohio, the plurality for Chase Republican,
for Governor, over Payne, is 1903. FreInOnts
plurality over Buchanan was 1858.

al delegation will consist of threce Democrats

TbIrd Hunger Meeting in New York CITY.
:. uopR DIP nEIZLLL, ., ------

Another meeting of the unemployed was held
on Thursday morning, on Tompkins Square, in
pursuance Of a call from the committee appoint
ed for that purpose, in various newspapers.
While to the previous call only some one or two
thousand individuals responded, there was, on
Thursday, on the Square, crowd of some four
or five thousand growing and cIamoring for
work, p ''fionr," or bread
The sight was awful. Several fierce Dutch
and Irish orators addressed the assemblage, to
the effect, that they must procure or devise
some means for the relief of their starving fami-
lies, urging the crowd to assemble every day,
and to march every day to the City Hall, and
there petition the Government" for employ
ment, for relief, and finally, if necessary, to
compel them to give it, asserting that they had
a perfect right to do so, as every workingman,
who was willing to work, had right to living.
They said, they would now assemble every
day, and thus increase their strength, and rem.
der their movement popular; and that the mum
Der matchmaking in this movement having al
ready doubled since the beginning, they hoped
the movement before long, would not be less
than 10000, and living in land of plenty, they
will have the power to better their terrible stu
atoms. The Irishman expressed pretty freely,
in their peculiar dialect, their excitement against
those for whom they have been working; they
talked Of "xlling off" "big bugs" the ''aris-
tocracy," I'd of numerous other things.
| Some respectable men who were present ear
nestly opposed these forcible and disgraceful
speeches, and made vigorous efforts to induce
the speakers to cease.
1t was then resolved to march to the City Hall
and to present there to the Mayor and Common
Council, their Resolutions, which were unani-
mously adopted.
A line of march was then formed which,
headed by three lrummers and transparency
with the inscription of work carried in front,
proceeded through st. Marks Place, Third ave-
nue., Bowery and Chatham street to ity Hall.
They marched on the sidewalks, and these were
entirely blocked up along several streets as they
passed along.
The picture presented was very alarming, and
it was viewed by the spectators, as they passed,
with surprise and establishment.
Arrived in front of the City Hall two mem
bers of the Committee read from the steps the
following Petition and Resolutions in English
and German:
