SUFFERING IN New YoRK.-The ". Y. HeraH
of Feb. 18th contains an account OF the condition
of the poor of that city, in which it gives the fol-
lowing facts
Having gone through all the wards of the city
n trip of necessity of nasty strides, though lacking
the seven league boots-wc will give the results of
our observations and inquiries. 1t is that there
has not been Il winter so severe ON the poor of this
city since 1857, and traceable to the same cause
general depression in business and such large num-
bers being thrown in consequence out or employ
ment. At the least calculation over l00, 600 peo-
pie who are IN the habit of earning respectable
livelihOods lay labor are now out of employment.
High rents and the high prices demanded for the
plaineSt neccssaries of life are adding largely to the
general suffering. Many out of employment are
living on the savings from their past earnings !;
many are living on the credit given them by their
landlords and the grocers and butchers, who,
knowing their past character and honesty, have
no fear in trusting them, knowing that they will
pay as soon as they get work again many, hay
ing nothing laid up and being too proud to make
their distresses known and ask for credit, have
parted with everything they had-jewelry, keep
sakes, bedsteads and bedding, and even the cloth
ing ON their backs-to procure food for themselves
and little ones. Visitors from established chari-
ties and church missionaries are gradually finding
these eases out, and thus have prevented any ac-
tual case of starvation thus far, although there
have been well authenticated instances of whole
families having gone two or three days without
tasting food. 1t is painful TO know and believe
such facts To know that multitudes of industri-
Gus mechanics and honest, energetic women and
children, who have never known the want of food,
arc thus all about Us treadirg on the confines of
starvation.
During last month Mr.. Keilock. as agent of the
Commissioners of Charities, distributed So 900 in
money among the poor, and about 1 900 tons of
coal. The number of families assisted was i ,0S4.
This charity divides the city into seven districts,
having no relation to the ward divisions. Mr..
Kellock SAYS that the number helped is twice the
number assisted in the same time last winter, and
rs it is, if he had considered the necessities of the
case, and not been limited by the small appropri-
alton at his command, he would have given away
three times the money and coal he has. Mr..
Hartley, of the Association for Improving the
Condition of the Poor, says that were it not for
the lack of funds their disbursements would be
quadruple what they are. In addition TO these
there are a multiplicity of other charities and So
cieties for philanthrophic and benevolent purposes.
Ii is difficult to estimate the amount of actual as
sistance given to our poor. New York is magnii-
iccnt in her charities ne in everything else.

SINGULAR CoINcrDENCES.-Ncsuyius burst forth
with fearful grandeur on the 14th of November,
rs reported by telegraph. Seven streams of lava
were in full How ut the latest dates, and the dis
play l. represented Us most magnificent. On the
same day the inhabitants of the City of Leon, in
Nicaragua, we've startled by the sudden and almost
simultaneous breaking out of 4 number OF volcanic
vents on the Pacific slope, and near the base of
the long extinct twin volcano Of Rota- On the
morning of the 10Th of November, the Island Of
Jamaica was severely shaken by two violent shocks
of earthquake. On the evening previous the
most remarkable electrical phenomena were wit
messed oil tO the southwest of the laarbor Oi King
s;On, during Il terrific thunder storm. The ac-
count says "Thc lightning looked a. if it
-prans upward from the sea mt one time it was
fOrkcd lightning, at another it appeared like large
balls Of fire rising up from the water and burst
ing with great brilliancy in the Clouds On the
10th Of November the Island of Porto Rico was
visited by Il severe earthquake, and on the 10Th
it was repeated. The great earthquakes of st.
Thomas, st. Johns, TortOla and other islands in
the vicinity, Of which accounts have been pub
lishcd, occurred ON the 10Th Of November. And,
finally, the grand meicoric shower took place on
the l4th of the same month. l. there no sisnfi-
canoe in these facts? In these days of progress
our scientific men should be able to :. put that
and that together - and study ont n satisfactory
explanation of the cause of such phenomena and
their relation to each other.

UnlOn RepnbIlcan fIntform.

The following is the platform adopt
ed by the Republican Convention, at
Chicago, on Thursday the 21st day of
May, 1868.
The National Republican party of
the United States, assembled in Ma
tlonal Conventlon in the city of Chi
cago, on the Goth day of May, 1868,
make the following declaration Of
principles:
!. We congratulate the country on
the assured success Of the reconstruc-
tlOn policy Of Congress as evinced by
the adoption, in a majority of the
States lately IN rebellion, of Consti-
tutlons securing equal civil AND poit-
ical rights 10 all; and we regard it
as the duty Of the Government to sus-
tain those institutions, and to pre-
vent the people of such States from
being rcmitted to a state of anarchy.
2. The guarantee by Congress of
equal suffrage to all loyal men In the
South was demanded by every con-
sideratiOn of public safety, of graft
tude, and must be maintained; while
the question of suffrage in all the
loyal States properly belongs to the
people of those States.

to the letter but the spirit of the laws
under which it was contracted.

al faith will permit.
5. The national debt, contracted.
as it has been, for the preservation of
the Union fer all time to come, should
be extended over q fair period for
redemption; and it is the duty of
Congress to reduce the rate of interest
| thereon, whenever it can honestly be
done. -
6. That the best policy to diminish
our burden of debt is to so improve
our credit that capitalists will seek to
loan US money at lower rates of inter
est than we now pay, and must con-
tinue to pay, so long as reputation,
/ partial or total, open or covert, Is

We have already alluded to the fact
that the Democratic State Central
Committee was not getting along very
harmouiously The Chairman of the
Committee was selected by the last
Democratic State Convention. after
an anima'ed contest, and Mr.. DEvE-
LIN, then editor of the State Sentinel,
was the Individual chosen. Mr..
DEvELIN was a great admirer of Mr.
PENnLETON, and did his best to get
that gentleman nominated for Presi-
dent at New York, in preference to
Mr. HENDRIcKs. The friends of the
latter have never forgiven Mr.. DEvE-
LIN, aud recently have very summa-
rily showed him aside and appointed
Judge MCDONALD Chairman of the
Committee in his place. The result
is, Mr.. DEvELIN, who is the editor of
the Cambridge City Mirror, has taken
the Democratic State ticket from his
paper, but still retains the names of
SEYMOUR and BLAIR at its mast head.
Here is what he says editorialy about
the matter:

10. OF all who were faithful In the
trials of the late war. there were none
entitled to more especial honor than
the brave soldiers and seamen vino
endured the hardships of campaign
and cruise, and Imreriled their lives
In the service Of their country. The
bounties and pensions provided by
law for those brave defenders of the
nation are obligations never to be for
gotten. The widows and orphans of |
the gallant dead are the wards of the
people-a sacred legacy bequeathed to
the nations protecting care.
II. Foreign immigration, which, in
the past, has added so much to the
wealth and development of the re-
sources and increase of power to this
nation, the asylum of the oppressed
of all nations, should be fostered and
encouraged by a liberal and just
policy.
II This Convention declares its
sympathy with all the oppressed peo-
pie who are struggling for their
rights.

To the Butchers aud Inspectors of
Meat-SchOchtIm

We must reiterate our former ad-
vice in regard to the beef in districts
where the cattle disease prevails:
No cattle must be pronounced Ko-
sher, unless the Shochet has examined
carefully the spleen and the kidneys.
Every change in those members,
either in color or texture, is and must
be, under the prevailing circum-
stances, considered as a sufficient
cause of pronouncirg the beef 7rep-
hdh. The changes in the lungs are
too inconsiderable to be depended on,
although there is a change in the
color of the lung and the air filing
some of the cellular tissues. The gall,
also, if enlarged or changed in color,
is a sign of this disease. but the spleen
and kidneys afford the best evidence.
No Shochet in Cincinnati will ex-
anime the lung of beef before he has
carefully examined the spleen and
kidneys, and found them fully sound.
Every change in these members
makes the beef TrsphGh-LsrdeIife.
