Correspondence of the Republican.
OUR NEW YORK LETTER.

During the last four or i've days great dis |
order has prev allied from the oar-driveFs strike.
The community was taken 10y surprist and
people began to see how much they we're de-
pendent upon our street railways Tor their
purposes Of business and pleasure. Somebody
has said that since Sherman's campaign In
Georgia, we have never had 90 many forced
marches as have bssn witnessed during the
past week in New York. The fat aud the
lean, the rich and the poor, the man of bust
uess and the pleasure seeker have been obliged
to use their lower extremities. Some have
discovered that they could walk longer and
| fSrthsr than they ever imagined. Others shut
| themselves up in their residences determined
| not to leave until the oars are running again
| In the meantime the drivers call for more pay
| and the Companies refuse to give. Now and
then at long intervals car may be sesn run
ming over the road with new driver. To get
a seat is impos sible, and you mast ga down
Sixth Avenue or Whatever street you chance
to tie on, taking " views sfoot.' The car dfi
vers have attempted 10 attack the new hands,
but the cars now go pretty we'll guarded with
the police and tBis difficulty Is U7arcome. II
is doubtful whether the railway corpo, ationi
will give any advance o; wages. They thinl
everything ia becoming cheaper, and that thi
is the wrong time to ask for an increase o
pay. The recent action of a body OF the stfi
kers has about destroyed all hope of gettn
what they demand. They have resorted t
mob law which is always mean and unmauly
Last night number OF these men tore up
large portion Of one Of the roads, bendin
and injuring the rails so that they are useless
They are certainly taking strange course I

HYPOCRISY.


The meauest of all crimes is hypocrisy. The

appears ia borrowed p'umes.
The cloak Of hypocrisy is worn by men, who
for sinister motives, wish to appear religious,
when ever you see a man paradng his own
! goodness before the world; who thanks God
that he is not like other men, look out tor that
man. He is hypocrte who "wears the livery

Christianity is - substance and not shad-

Why has not the christian religion made
