THE STATE BOUNTY LOAN.

The State of New-York has passed law 10
create debt of thirty millions of dollars III Or
der to raise money for the procurement Of yd-
unteerS and the avoidance of the draft. By
that Law it undertakes to supply the last call OF
the Government for SOC, coo men,. 1t proposes
to supersede all local efforts, or rather to forbid
all local payments Of money for boun-
ties. except under certain conditions, and to
edualze throughout the State the lnrdens which
the draft imposes. Should the purpose OF the
law be accomplished, the State will be Sa'ed
from this and future drafts, and its citizens will
divide proportonally among themselves the cost
of procuring the men whom the State must fur
niSh.
In order to this, the loan authorized by The
law must be taken. Upon the passage OF the
law, and Oh appeal to capitalists, it was objected
that the essential sections OF the statute de-
pended upon popular ratification. and that there
was no real, or at any rate no certain, security
for the money lent to the State. Should the
people choose to vote down the law, while the
debt would not be technically repudiated, lend
ers would find they had parted with their money
to those who had no LEGAL authority TO borrow.
Gov. Fenton to meet this difficulty came to
New-York, and upon consultation between him
and leading bankers of the city, supple
mentary act was agreed on toperiect the former
and to give adequate security for the loan that
is demanded. So that there need be no further
question about the financial merits of the bonds
to be issued for the money to be lent.
What we now desire to bring to the attention
of capitalists is the fact that there is urgent
need for the immediate loan of part Of this
money. For want Of it, the business
Of recruiting is likely to come TO a
stand-still So far as the law prohibits
local bounties, that prohibition goes into effect.
If the State then does not step in promptly
to undertake the business which the coun-
ties and cities and towns abandon,
we may find recruiting at any mo-
ment wholly suspended for want OF
funds TO pay bounties-and then comes the
draft. We are sure the merchants and business
men of New-York do not want to see that state
of things-do not want 10 see draft enforced II
volunteering can avoid its necessity. 1t remains
with them to say whether the draft shall OF
shall not come. If Wall-st. will lend the
money, the State viii furnish the volunteers,
and the business and industry and commerce OF
city and county will flow on in its usual chan
nels, uninterrupted by any sudden and indis'
criminate demand upon labor. What says
! Wall-st?

THB DWELLING.CAVEs OF NEW.
YORK.

Twenty five thousand bodies and souls are
immured in the cellar tcnements Of New-York
city. Denied the light of heaven and the
breezes Of earth, absorbing through their pores
the humid masms, and receiving into their
lungs the foul gases, that perpetualy exude
from feculent soil above and around them, these
wretched beings en- lure a slow but sure process
of decay. They may be said to suffer physical
and moral decomposition while yet alive; and
especially is this true of the children, whereof
from fifty to seventy PER cent perish during in
fancy. Those who survive become prey to
various maladies, more or less acute or chronic,
according to the duration OF suffering TO which
they may be doomed in their underground prison
houses. And the children are but more fragile
types of their puny genitors; wiltcd leaves from
the blghted stems which they call their parents;
those wretehed men and women whose ca'lay-
erous frames are widowed in life by their grave
like surroundings.
The celar-populatOn dwellS under influences
as certain if not so swift to produce death as Is
the atmosphere Of stagnant marsh. The gases
which escape from soil drainage and sewerage
are actively destructive to animal life. The
sewage of New York, as of other cities, is made
up of kitchen ofal strset-washings, factory
dregs putrid animal and vegetable garbage, OK
crementitous collections and waste water. The
mass is quickly decomposcd and evolves Its iou
gases, whether it be stagnant or in motion. The
constituents of sewer carnations are carbonlt
acid gas, sulphureted hydrogen, and ammon
acal gas; and all these are fatal in their action
on living bodies. DR.. Barker, experimenting
with them in Londor, hung cage containing
mouse within three inches of cess-pool; Tho
animal perished in less than five days. Dog
exposed to sewer carnations were attacked
with diarrhea febrile symptoms, thirst and
! vomiting. A puppy subjected to breathe ar
imprcgnated with scarcely two per cent Of sui
phurs.ed hydrogen died iD two minutes and
