FROM NEW YORK.
Correspondence of the Ohio Statesman
New YORK, March %, 1865

en- FL. Tying, Jr., to Bishop Potter. The
Stubbs and Boggs party, of course don't
like it to any very great extent. After
pronouncing the reprimand an "igno-
minious ceremony" the writer promises
10 give, when his engagements will al
low, full and frank review of the pro-
ceedings. The closing portion of the
letter, as follows, is, to say the least,
decidedly emphatic That there may
br no reasonable ground for misunder-
standing previously to the preparation
of the observations to which l have al
ready referred, I desire now, and in full
consciousness of the responsibilities
which it may entail, solemnly to pro-
test against the whole course, conduct
and conclusion of the ecclesiastical trial
in which l have appeared as respondent
hold it, as in duty bound, to have been
equally opposed to the principles of
common law. the canons of the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church, and the doct, inc
and discipline of Christ, as this church
had received the same. absolutely deny
its regularity and renounce its authority.
From its unjust presentment, oppressive
rulings. predetermined decision and in
sinuatiDg censure, appeal to the gem
eral judgment of the Protestant Episco-
copal Church, to the impartial views of
the other christian churches of this land,
to the word of the living God and to Je-
sus, the chief Shepherd and Bishop of
! us all. ...-e r,-l,., 49,
AS the great moving day approaches,
the question of rents assumes more and
more Importance. The rents for stores
| will probably be lower than last year,
though but little, while rents for private
dwellings will mainly remain at about
the same figures as heretofore in some
sections, however, an advance is being
made. Quite vigorous attempt was
made by landlords early in the season
to secure general advance, but the i'm
mediate demand for houses was not equal
to the expectation, and the effort failed.
Undoubtedly, rents for dwelling houses
would have materially declined this
year had the supply Of houses at all
kept pace with the demand, but the
high price of building material and
labor has prevented this, for although
the seemingly large number of 5000
houses were added to our lists during
the past year, this was by no means an
adequate increase. The deficiencies in
the number of houses will doubtless
keep rents to the maximum for consid-
erable time to come, but this is fast be-
coming modified by the turning of much
of the, city's tide of population toward
the suberbs and the neighboring sister
cities. The homes of many of our
business people are to be found over
thirty or forty miles away. Every year
| largely increases the number of those
who make their money here and enjoy
it outside. Besides many cities and vii
lagos of our own State which thus so
kindly care for the business people of
Gotham, and profit thereby, the State
of Camden and Ambuy also in the same
way blesses itself immensely.
Real estate which has so long been
active is still upward, and the average
weekly transactions are very large.
General business is slowly recovering
its tone. 1t has still many ra.her gloomy
features, but it is thought that the further
opening of spring, the full resumption of
navigation, etc, will inaugurate, in how
ever sedate way, the season of pros
perity for which we have so long anx-
iously looked. 1t is to be hoped that
we are fully ready for prosperity.
Wednesday, the long looked for Open
ing Day, was day of hustle, and
in more senses than one, for not only
was Broadway bustling with gentle
women, as We're also the shops, where
were displayed diminutive, and of course,
costly bonnets and costly dresses, and
all the mysterious details of female ap
parel, but the day really set forth an ar
ticle something like the old fashioned
hustle" the said article being delicately
described as gathered puff" and
called "panier."
The most radical of the changes other
than this is the reduction of the size of
crinoline, which now becomes so small
that there must be no evidence of its ex-
istence when the toilette is completed.
We are exceedingly thankful ON the
crinoline question; but the "panier"-
why, it will run it's course just like other
fashions will increase its dimensions,
it will grow huge in the hands of those
who don't comprehend the ideas of the
artistic who invented it, and at last it
may be as large as-well, mayhap as
large as a barrel and so imagining it in
it's full development, this gathered puff,
this panier, can be hailed only as some
thing which will be dreaded hereafter,
and here might follow a chapter on the
mysterious, generally wretched vagaries
of fashion, but we refrain.
The Drew and Vanderbilt parties still
grapple with each other over Erie. Mr..
Jay Gould published an affidavit the
other day which has created much talk,
as it shows that the quarrel originally
was from stock jobbing operation, and
that the claim of the Vanderbilt party
to purity and usefulness of motive were
no better founded than those of the
Drew party. The news from Albany
that the Railway committee of the AS,
sembly had unanimously reported
1 against the Erie bill, and that the report
had been agreed to, made hardly an i'm
preston on Wall street. Should the
bill of similar import now before the
Senate be defeated, the present directors
will rely on the Legislation of New Jer
sew to retain them in the management
of the road. The fight will evidently
continue much longer.
Mr.. Jefferson Davis and wife, attended
by colored servant, arrived at the New
York Hotel on Thursday evening, arc
on Friday afternoon departed for Mon
treal. While here they remained very
quiet, receiving only few visitors, nont
other than personal friends.
The most noticeable novelty in the
world of amusement is the introduction
