We hear great deal Of the depression Of
business, of fifty thousand people being out Of
employment and fearful distress existing every
where; yet it might be regarded as remarkable
that we see so few poor creatures craving
aims to those who do not know that we have
many charitable institutions and benevolent
societies to step in and rescue them from abso-
lutte poverty. That we have such is an honor
to the city that many Of them are not well
managed Is misfortune, because II too often
happens that vanity and ostentation are SUM-
GENTLY gratiied without q discreet exercise Of
charity. What man gives to . public charity
is, unhappily, more considered than how his
donation 10 disposed OF but the left hand Of
discretion ought to know what the right hand
of liberality doeth; and on this point the bad
management Of our public charitable institu-
tons compels us to differ somewhat from Holy
Writ But 1t must be admitted that these
societies nevertheless do some good. They
might extend their benevolence to the suffering
poor Of the Southern States, however, where,
according to recent statements, IL is moro
needed than at the North. Let us take the
for example, which have always been advocat-
ing she cause OF the negro. In his servitude
the black man was an object OF perpetual
sympathy with these people, but now in his
freedom he Is more than ever an object OF
charity for IL appears that he Is altogether
helpless, starving and wavering between the
alternatives OF a miserable death or rapino
and spoliation. The New England philanthro-
pists have done a good deal to bring about
this state OF affairs for the poor negro T; there
fore 1t is their duty now to look after him, aud
we hope they viii do So
That there Is no poverty in this city, because
II does not food our streets with mendicants
such as the cities OF Europe are afflicted with,
II is not, perhaps, fair to assume for there 10
a personal pride in our people which inst-
gates even the poorest rather 10 suffer in
secret than TO relieve their wants by applying
for aims. With all the faults OF our charitable
institutions and making allowance for a good
deal Of humbug which certainly attaches to
many Of them, they do a good deal, in addition
10 private charity, TO relieve poverty which
would otherwise present itself in very har-
rowing form IN the public highways.
We are not disposed to believe that great
distrcss exists in the city, Notwithstanding the
lull in trade and manufactures, although many
may be restricted in their incomes and neces-
sarily In their domestic comforts. If there ID
poverty TO be found within the reach OF any
ono this IL most acceptable saason to relieve

Our Real Estate sDccuiatiens In the Wess
Indies.
We are told by . telegram from Havana,
and az tho correspondent says, from highly
confidential source" that our Consul at that
place had received telegraphic despatch
from the Consul ct Santiago de Cuba Of such
a peculiar character, In relation to the 6k
Thomas purchase, that he Immediately tele-
graphed to Mr.. Seward advising him to defer
further proceedings with regard to that island.
This seems q roundabout sort Of story and
little muddy still there may be something In
it. What can be the matters r St Thomas
still in such shaky condition that our con-
suls are apprehensive it may sink beneath
the ocean! Is that seven millions Of our gold
likely to be swallowed up as promptly and ~
neatly as roulette, faro, or lotteries swallow up
the money of unsuspecting greenhornsf Have
the harbors been destroyed by the isss ssssa-
quakes, and is the island consequently no longer
valuable to usi Or are the Danish colonists
so Disguised with the negro madness raging in
this country that they decline to become ciu-
zens Of the great republic? If there be any
foundation for the report we shall soon know
what it is; we shall soon know why further
proceedings on the part Of the Secretary Of
State should be deferred. In the meantime we
do not think there is any ground for alarm.
The island Of st. Thomas is pretty safely
anchored, and the purchase Of 1t is pretty we'll
assured.
We notice by the same despatch from
Havana that comm ission was about to leave
ST. Domingo for Washington to complete
arrangements for ansferring the Bay Of
SANTANA to the Unites States. 1t is said, how
over, in another des atch, that an offer to lease
the bay to the United States for ninety-nino
years, at an annual rent Of three hundred thou
sand dollars. was 10 be made. This telegram
has also muddy look; for we do not suppose
the Dominicans or any other persons are 30
stupid as to suppose the United States would
take lease and pay an annual rental fox this
property. We hope Mr.. Seward may soon
finish his land speculations and let VI know
how much be has actually purchased and where
it is. Our enterprislng citizens and q hos. Of
down East spectators are anxiously waiting
to pounce down on the new purchases VIII

likely to possess and relieve the anxiety or

General Fritz, To faypyite Of the Grand

and their allies in their recent successful re-
pulse Of the Parsguayans at Tuyuty. The

whoever commanded tho Brazilians on the day
Of the attack on the allied camp at Tuyuty by
the Paraguayans, on the 81 Of November,

The loss OF the allies has since been estimated
at two thousand. Iftho attacking soldiers had

believes that the result would have been the

Our kilograms by the Atlantic cable, pub

in power and splendor. No such eruption has
occurred, probably, for centuries. Many
people In the neighborhood Of the volcano had

other terrible calamity. 1t Is evident from the
simultaneous volcanic action in this and other
old craicrs at different parts Of the globe, rs
well as from the vast area of the subterranean
disturbance OF tho earsh's crust, that there Is
some extraordinary cause at work. Yet these
earthquakes and eruptons, which cersainly

More Fcnian Alarms In England and
Scotland.
We have reports by the cable Of an attempt
or supposed design Of the Fcnians to destroy
the gas works Of Liverpool and Of Glasgow,
ending in each case in nothing but fresh alarms
among the people Of the cities and towns Of
both England and Scotland and occasioning
greater vigilance among the local authorities.
If it be true, however, that the Fenians in
Great Britain have adopted, as intimated
by some of the English journals, system Of
warfare limited to gunpowder plots and incen-
diary fres the inhabitants and the authorities
Of every city and town Of any Importance
in the kingdom may well be alarmed.
When 1t is considered, too, that Kelly, the es-
capped Fenian from Manchester, still believed to
be in England, remains undiscovered, although
there is reward of two thousand pounds upon
his head, and that no satisfactory develop
ments have been reached touching the late
Clerkenwell jail and Newcastle explosions,
there is evidently system Of secrecy among
the parties concerned in these enterprises even
more alarming than their mysterious opera
tons. At last accounts all was reported quiet
in England in reference to these ominous
Fenian movements, but we apprehend that the
worst Of them in connection with Gil the rsvo-
lutionary elements of England are yet to come.
