SIGNS OF THE TINES.

Starving Women.
We hope Harper's Weekly will get up picture of
the one hundred and fifty poor and starving women
who marched on Mondav last in procession through
this city, demanding 'hreadl' and then contrast
them with the Fora McFlimsey's of Fifth Avenue
who sport jewelry enough upon one of their little
fingers to keep one of these, their sisters, from
starving for twelve month. What a sight for
civilized city! Tender and delicate women, with all
her sensitiveness to wrong, compelled by the very
pa2gs OF starvation TO duf her wOmanhoud md go
| down among ude men, begging for b. eGd Here is
chance for the pencil OF Hogarth: Tired with
| their long walk and raven0uS for food they be-
| came wild with disappointment learning that
the Mayor not in. One of them threatened
| to droon herself and child. Another said she w5s
willing to starve, but her baby shoud hare fond
eren if she stole it, third stated that she would
never have allowed her son enlist it he was not
| promised that his mother would receive 81 a week
| from the city" Another, in a wa' Of bitter agony
said: CHAD my boy known this he would never
have d"sortad na tn fl ght far an uuUrateful set of
arist ats. Youve got him away, now, and in
| tend, suppose, to let starv4.'' Let Haryey's
! Weefly try its powers of picture painting this
scene and not dismiss it without notice. "A, some f
the Republican papers have done, with he COM
pliment OF only lew lines, others have We
have been told that the South starved out
that hunger to be the portion of her cum aud
''slave insurrections" the punishment of her re
belon." But, serious NAV be her difficulties
we have not yet heard of professions of women
white or black, begging for food. 1t is about time
we stopped wasting sympathy upon lat and sleek
negroes and attended to the poor OF our kith and
KIM Y. Day Book.
The True Issue
Ihe Indiana Journal, the leading Republican pa
per of the State, whose editor is one Of Linctn's
officers, Publishes the following:
Settle 1t now! For as hour follows
hour, so sure will the North never pause tin the
ta"se that brought the war upon it is utterly ex-
lngulshed. There can be peace. There can be
no mpromise. 1t is to the utter annihiIation
of slavery. The day of honied words has passed.
The day of bloody deeds has come And let those
who do the lighting get the pay.'
What Fighting for.
Below is an extract fom Frourth of July oration
delivered by ex. Governor Boutwell,, of Massachu-
sets:
Snow, then, say here to-day, that this contest
inagurated by the Rebels of the South, will have
no successful and complete end until ysu in some
way assert the doctrine that liberty is not the prop
erty Of any race that it is not the exclusive right
of any class; that it does not belong to any nation,
but that it is the God-giyen right of all the sons of
| men. | do not say that the four millions of So
called slaves in the South be, without pre-
meditation and without preparation, emanc pated,
but tell you that this contest marches logically,
Phiiosophicaly and inevitably toward the emanci-
patton OF this people; and the citizen at the ballot
box or statesman administering the government of
this country, or general who guides its armies who
does not admit that inevitable result # this con-
test, misunderstands the force of events, and is
doomed to disappointment and disgrace"
Heavy Failure.

& Gore, of Boston, have suspended pa, ment.--
Their liabilities, including endorse ments, are said

this amount is suspended paper.
