PROSTITUTION in NEW YORK CIT

The daily report of the ''New York House of
the Fallen" says there are about four thousand
of the professional demi-monde in that city, who
have no other means of support. The number
of girls who work in the daytime and walk the
pave at night will fully equal this number.
There are at least as many more "mistresses' -
in all about twelve thousand women and girls
belonging to this wretched class. The instiu-
ton for the fallen has reclaimed seventy five du-
ring the past seven mouths The loss of their
own self respect induces these females to believe
that they never can gain the respect of others
But lift them from Il is slough of self e5redation
show them that an upright life will bring its
proper reward, and then they are easily. restored
to paths of virtue. A glance at the cause of
the great social evil appears to be, in very
great degree, want of employment by these wo-
men. The report says:
More than one-half of the demi monde are
driven to adopt the life by Christian parents
that is to say, the iron hand Of home rule, the
wrong teachings, the misconception by parents
of the character of their children the depriya-
ton of reasonable enjoyment and amusement,
drives young girls to seek life of greater free
dom. One quarter more are the victims of men
who delight in the ruin of all that is good The
remainder is composed of those girls who are
compelled to work in shops and factories for
their living. This latter class is the most diff
cult to reclaim. From their lowly life Of toll,
where they are compelled to 1.-Two in tenement
house or howell with four or FIVE persons
crowded into small room, poorly clad, poorly
fed, working from ten to twelve hours day for
few sbillings, surrounded by drunken and de-
graded associates, they step to the elegant man
sion of sin, where they are clad in rich stufs,
fed upon all the dainties of the season, and have
no work to do, their associates comprising the
fashionable men of the city, who would not have
spoken to the working girl.
Institutions Tor reclaimIug these unfortunate
creatures are springing up all over the country,
doing good in every community where they
exist, and are fit concerns for the attention of
the philanthropist and all benevolent and Chris
tian people.

SOME. GOOD ADVICE.

In the course Of long article on the recent
Labor Congress, Mr. Greeley editor of the n Y.
Tribune, utters the following, in which there is
little that may be safely disputed: .-.-
"The Congress evinced more wisdom than is
usual in Congresses in its emphatic depreciation
of strikes; in urging cooperation as the true
remedy for many evils now effecting labor; in
recommending the formation of Mechanics In
stitutes and Reading Rooms, and in advising
workingmen who find work scarce or remunera-
tion scanty to bic to the public lands and be-
come settlers thereon, OF course, the indolent
and shiftless will plead that they have not the
means, though three-fourths of all the farms in
our country were first settled by men as needy
they are. So far, this Congress is bravely
right. But it should have gone step further
and urged our young, unmarried workingmen
to practice greater frugality and thrift, so as to
be able to settle on the public lands Cor else
where) whenever they choose. At present, our
young mechanics squander in dissipation sums
that will keep them poor all their after lives
Any single man with good trade ough to save
at least $500 by the time he is rs years of age
(Which is as early as it is wise 70 narry;) and
with $500 SO saved and invested in United
States securities, he never need talk Of "the
alarming encroachments Of capital on the rights
of the industrial classes" or any bosh of that
sort for the rest of his life 1t is not capital
it is the grogshop, the beer saloon, the billiard
room, the cigar-store, the gambliug-den, the
sink of pollution, whence encroachment on "the
rights of the industrial classes is most to be
apprehended, and that needs to be crushed If
the laboring class in general, but especially the
young men, could be kept out Of these eens O.
iniquity and induced to their earnings, they
might very soon be independent of capital and
able, by cooperation, to employ and direct their
own labor; dealing directly with each other and
paying little or no tribute to any capital but
their own And, until they can be made to see
this truth, fear that they will hold ongresses
to little purpose; yet we trust they will con-
tinue to hold them, and that each may provo as
wise aud reasonable as that held last week"

The Radicals are straining every nerve
for the purpose of carrying the election in
this district. Hundreds have been i'm

counties by the chief of the faithful,

rulers Of our country-namely the nIgger.
Let any person examine the list OF the
Assessors throughout the county and they
will find hundreds of names on it that are
unfamiliar to them. Where did those
men come from? What is their business
here DID they come into this district
for the purpose Of voting? When and
where did they last pay State or county
taxes? These are questions that must
be answered, before an election board can

such persons.

enough to come into this district for the
purpose Of securing Lis election but we
must say that il is hopeless cause that
requires such scheme as this. The
army is no longer in existence. Demo
cratic documents can now find free access
to the habitation Of every Pennsylvania.
The Rule OF Radicalism is drawing to a
close; and this is the last hope of the
party that was once strong and powerful
the party which could, the day previous
to the election, order the imprisonment Of
hundreds Of Democratic voters, in order
that they might be continued in office
and reap benefits of a country to which
they have no love except the love which
Judas bore to our Saviour. Let the
Democrats in every election district keep
an eye or such characters challenge their
votes, and if necessary make them s,cear
that they did not come into the district
for the purpose Of voting. It IS not neces-
sa,y to asL; them far 1cho tIey are going 10

PICAYUNE BUTLER GETS His BACK Up.
"A Radical correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Commercial, who claims TO have
been behind the curtain, INDUCES in the
following gossip relating to Ben Butler:
- General Butler was announced 10 speak
at grand ratification meeting to-day,
but when the time came he had nothing
to say Two things combined to this
end: First, Ben. got sulky because
Banks got his speech out first and sec
ond, he had nothing to say after his effort
of yesterday, which he says is his Western
speech"
Again: General Banks spoke from
the main stand, and after he had got fair
ly started, Butler came along and found
himself obliged to run a side show. 1t
was evident that he didn't like this. He
spoke scarcely a hundred words, remark
ing that he thought the people of this re-
gion were all right. and didn't need to be
talked to, and then retired gracefully,
much TO the disappointment of his audi
tors, who shouted themselves hoa:se in
vain effort TO secure his reappearance."

70 the Polls.

See that every vote is out on next
Tuesday. 1t is necessary for the success
of our candidates that a full vote should
be polled Remember that we have to
contend against fearful odds-not in num-
bers but in wealth and knavery. Our
facilities for importation are not equal to
that Of our opponents, and if they were,
we would prefer to see our candidates de
featcd rather than to be elected in such
an Illegal manner. All that is necessary
all that is required is that the qualified
voters of every election district turn out
en- naasse and rebuke will be administered
TO those men who are attempting TO force
themselves upon the people of Pennsylva-
MIA See also, that the necessary con-
veyances are on hands 10 bring 10 the
polls the old ard infrm, the lame and
blind and every person who is disabled in
any manner. 1t is not necessary that
you should bring a beautiful carriage I"
to convey them to the polls. A man
who has the interest of the country at
heart would prefer 10 be conveyed TO the
polls in an OK cart rather than lose his
vote in such a conflict as this, where SO
much is depending upon it. Get out the
vote then and victory will be the recon-

Watch them; see that no niggers are
white-washed for this occasion and

Attention :

The people should remember that a
law was enacted last winter authorizing
Election Boards TO close the polls at 6
clock. This is another dodge TO keep
the laborine classes from voting. A poor
man cannot well afford to lose half a
day to vote and perhaps receive his
{" walking papers for not completing his
days work. 1t is all well enough for
rich capitalists but il does not suit the
laboring classes. Let every Democrat
thwart this unjust and nefarions scheme.
You who are depending upon your days
work for the necessaries of life, should in
form your taskmasters on the evening
preceding the election, that you are 60
ing to lose one day for the welfare of your
country and if they have not hearts as
hard as Rail Road IRON or as black as a
negroes pate-box they will certainly grant
your request. Vote early and vote the
entire Dem cratic ticket.

Our Candidates.

At the head of our ticket stands the
name of Hester Ciymer, the Democratic
candidate for Governor. MIR. Clymer Is
deservedly in favor among his party ad-
herents and even the better sort Of his
political opponents. have comphmented
him highly for honesty as man, up
rightness as a partisan and ability as
lawyer and legislator. 1t is true he has
enemies but they are those of the oppo-
sition party who hope TO accomplish their
own elevation to wealth and power by
his own discontinue. To gain their own
selfish ends they have borne false witness
against him and perverted his votes and
speeches whilst Senator of the. State.
They have with desperation and want
of principle, almost unparalleled, tiaisitied
his every act, word and vote as Legis-
lator and in TO instance have they treated
him with fairness. The persistent and
long continued pery ersion of Mr. Clymer 5
record, may prevent some Of the oppo-
sition from casing their votes for him but
can affect nothing against him among the
members of his party who esteem and
trust him and endorse his course as a
Senator. Those Of the opposition how
ever, who have 50 far cast aside the big
otry and trammeIs of party as to fairly
10
clared that Mr.. Clymer's record is be-
yond reproach that he has been true to
his State and country in every act and
vote; and that he is eminently worthy Of
the suffrage of every patriot who loves
his country and desires renewal of the
old days of peace, prosperity and haPpi-
ness.
For Congress we have r. L. Johnston,
who is acknowledged by the Radical press
oi the District to be the strongest man
the party could pat in the field. Mr.,
Johnston is in every manner qualified for
the position to which he will be elected
on next Tuesday. 1t is not necessary
that we should 90 into any details or refer
our readers to his past career of usefulness
His reputation is well established in this
District and in fact throughout the en-
tire State of Pennsylvania. About his
election there is no question. Had a
poor ard worthy Republican been nomi-
mated we would have expressed some
doubts as to his success; but the nomi-
nation of d. j. MUrrell sealed the doom
of the Republican party in this District.
Tie people will support the man who will
labor for their interests and stand firm to
the Constitution of our fathers. Our
County ticket needs little recommended
ton az our hands. First on the list is
the name of Col. John p. Linton a true
and tried soldier Of the Republic. One
who since the commencement of the cam
