DRY Goops RIVALRY IN NEW YoRK.-A cor
respondent SAYS Such is the rivalry between
Stewart aud Clallin, that when one discovers that
the other has a large stock Of particular Article
on hand, be- instantly reduces the price below cost
iu order TO impose a heavy loss on his competitor.
They can lose a hundred thousand dollars for the
qualification of tleir spleen, and not miss it but
the effect is to dopcciate the value of the stock of
hundreds OF other smaller establishments, produc-
ing loss which they IN can afford. This makes
their business uncertain and puts them entirely
az the mercy OF ibis giant capital, that mulutudes
fail or become discouraged, while many Others are
deferred from entering into the business. 1t is
thus that these enormous fortunes work au injury
to the community We observe similar results in
speculation and finance. The posscssor Of three
or four millions uses bis power with tremendous
effect lie becomes director or officer of some
corporation whose stock is ON the market-mauip-
ulatcs t-crushes hundreds OF little operators, and
rakes their thousands into his pile Of millions
the millions grow, the thousands disappear. One
man prospers-a host are impoverished. Do not
understand me as uucturcd with agrarian senti-
nents, or as disposed 10 restrain the millionaire
IN the free use OF his own. My only purpose Is to
note, as a philanthropic observer the manifest
tendency Of things in this great whirlpool. IL is
misfortune To the country that such mammoth ior-
tunes should bee accumulated IN a few bands, ioI
we have vet produced but one Peabody, and be
made bis money abroad"

A SINGULAR RErORMAToRY NHLAGE.-Maior
Hutchinson, inspectorgeneral Of police in the
Puriab who was lately nlngland. gave an account,
at a meeting of a section of the Social Science as
sociaiion, Of village in his district which has been
formed by collecting from many other villages
those who, as thieves or sturdy bcggars, had REM
dered themselves pest. Land was given % them,
and by the cooperation Of the peaceful inhabitants
they were supplied with seeds had wells sunk for
them, and were furnished with plows. But these
provisions having been made, the men were in
formed that hcncclorth they must depend on their
own eNerions and that, whether living comforts
bly, by their industry or dying with hunger from
their idleness, they would not be allowed 10 quit
the spot where they had been placed. At first, as
may be imagined, there great grumbling
much turbul, nee. and many threats but when the
mon found that these were all in vain and that the
government intended what it had ordered, they
gradually took to their work, and after time set
lied down into peaceful and industrious comuu-
nifty Major hutchinson added that, at a late Wis
it Of inspection to this curious village il was found
that the inhabitants had begun TO feel pride in
their cottages and alotmeuts; that they were bet
ter clad of more clearly habits and in word,
that a striking alteration Ion the better had taken
place ia their general condition and appearance
and that so fully reconciled had they become to
the change in thor COURSE OF life that they one and
all declared that they had no wish TO return TO
their former career.

The New York Constitutional Convention has
finally reached its conclusion on the important
subject Of suffrage. IT has not eniranclised wo-
men nor minors, nor disiranChised any portion of
foreign born citizens But 1t has abolished the
properly disqualification heretofore in vogue in
tlA case of the colorcd men, admitting the latter
to the balot-box on the same footing with 9th
eIs and refusing to submit the change to special
popular vote, The whole question of suffrage IS
to stand or fall with the new constitution. The
first section OF the suffrage article gives the priv
lege OF voting to every male citizen of the age of
twenty one years who shall have been a citizen
ten days, an inhabiiant Of the State one year, a
resident Of the county four months, Of The town or
ward thirty days, and OF the election district in
which he offers TO vote ten days. An attempt at
bribery is to be punished with disfranchisement,
and the legislature is authorized to make laws to
meet such cases, and also cases Of betting on cleo
tons The Legislature is also dire ted to provide
for a registry of all citizens entitled TO the right
OF suffrage in each election district to be COM
pleted at least six days before any election other
than town election, and no unregistered person
is to be allowed to vote at such election.
