GLANCE AT NEW YORK.
Obs erVatiOns Of a Virginia Editor.

The editor of the Lexington Gazette
has been to New York, and presents in
his last issue some "notes of travel"
from which we quote the following:
New York is very large place.
The people are in a hurry. If you ask
man the name of street, he don't
say word, but keeps up his turkey
trot. 1t isn't the custom to shake
hands, specially on Broadway. They
don't take time TO 60 up and down
stairs. They have machinery that
lifts and lets them down. They make
love and bargains by telegraph. There
machine to nasticate food; they
havnt the minutes to spare in chewing
it. They kiss their wives by proxies.
Abundant supply Of proxies. Tho
hearses are splendid funeral cars, plum
ed, polished and magnifcerty solemn,
but they carry the dead man to bis
grave at trot. .'4s -te'l. n s4ls,
The suburbs Of New York are larger
than any Virginia city The waters
are always foaming with keels of innu-
merable crafts. Railroads diyerge to-
wards every State. Cars start every
few minutes. You can ride in the street
car fifteen miles for seven cents-half
a cent mile. The rate to Goshen is
twenty-six times greater.
The water is piped forty miles to
supply the city. A man can stand
up and stretch out his hand in the pipe.
A weasel can squeeze in ours if lie is
CREASED and .abstemious. Your kilograms
are delivered to you printed. DUA
| Broadway hotel has splendid theatre
under the same roof. The river steam
ers are floating palaces and furnish
music free from steam pianos and splen-
did concerts thrown in. We saw--and
it is worth a trip to New York to see
the genuine "Grecian bend" 1t takes
two to do it-a gentleman and lady.
The lady kangaroos about two feet be-
hind the man, with her hand resting on
his arm to prevent falling OH her face.
while he initiates mildly the motion OF
a giraffe with the collie. IAN n

ought to be creative. 1t comes then to
this, that the mighty army established
at the yearly cost of e22s, 900, 900, and
labo ing and fighting for the disc'ta:
lishment and disorganization of labor, is
really an army of paupe J, thieves, or
useless persons, maintained at the cost
of the nation. We see now what &C
counts for the million or two of paupers,
for lowness of wages, &C.; we can't have
capital and drink it; we can't attend
chiefly to pauper manufactures, and
yet expect the other factories to flourish;
we can't expect the laborer to get
enough corn when

From Chicago.

CHICAGO, February 26..The full cor
respondence between Bishop White
house, of Illinois, and Assistant Bishop
Cummins, of Kentucky, is published
this evening. Yhe former wrote twice
to the latter to dissuade him from Wis.,
iting Chicago to speak for certain socie-
ties, one of which Whitehouse termed
schismatical and designed to disturb
his diocese, while to speak for the ether,
the American Church Missionary Soci-
ETY., would raise serious questions. Mr..
Cummins replied that he had accepted
the invitations and could not yield to
Bishop WhitehOuSe's dictation. The
latter then entered his protest against
the contemplated visit and sent no.
tice thereof to Bishop Smith, of Ken
lucky. Cummins again replied that by
becoming Bishop he had net renounced
the right to accept an invitation from
any rector, and entreated Whitehouse
not to raise an issue by denying that
right. Bishop Cummins preached here
morning and evening, last Sunday, and
thus the matter stands.

then refreshed, leaving his Vlctlhi 30
tightly bound that he could utter no

finally succeeded in gnawing through
the rome which tied him and gaining
his freedom. The anguish Of soul which
Lieutenant Sisson exhibited IN aetaii
inc the manner in which the charitable
funds of the loyal G. A. r. had been ap
propriated was touching; yet there
were those who, considering the stal
wart frame and muscular develop
ment of the Lieutenant, thought
he ought to JAMESTOWN more resistance,
This conviction deepened until al
length Sisson confessed that the I'M
known rufian was-like Kilpatrick''
5000 mummies-a creation of his OWE
brain, and that he himself was the rob
Der of widows and orphans, having ex,
pended the money which was intended
to buy for them coal and flour upon hi

NeyY York liens.

New YORK, February 26.-The report
of the Labor Exchange In this city
shows that the demand for labor daring
the past year was far greater than The
supply. A ship load of German girls
could be readily disposed of If they were
TO be bad, at from twelve to fourteen
dollars each per month.
Magaldo, the Italian who was sen
fenced to Imprisonment for life recent
". cut his threat in the Tombs, yester'
day, and tied a handkerchief around tn
wound, and in that manner proceeded
with the officers to Yonkers, before they
discovered his situation. They cOntin-
ned to Sing Sing, where the convict
was given in charge of the prison Phy-
stefan, who pronounced his case very
desperate.
The Times says the interview of Mr..
Mcclure with General Grant was a
series of political bullying of the Presl-

Senator Henderson returned yester-

Commissioner Osborn yesterday COM

transactions.
Recorder Hackett sentenced ten bur
glars yesterday to the State prison, one

Others for three years aud SIX months

washington Items.

WASHINGTON, February 26.-As usual
of late large crowds of vieitors called AT
headquarters to pay their respects to
the President elect. Several delegations
of visitors from various States, accom-
panied by members of Congress from
their respective districts, called during
reception hours and were gratitied IN
shaking hands and passing few words
in conversation with General Grant.
The impressions concerning the con-
struction of the incoming Cabinet null
tiply rapidly, but as yet there is no
ground for believing that the name of
any of the proposed members will be
made public even an hour before their
nomination to the Senate.
The public debt statement tor the
present month will be issued earlier
than usual in March. The indications
of large decrease continue very good.

"The Friends Of God"

The reader will please not suppose
that these words are ours. They belong
to a class of men, who have just met In
conclave at Columbus, to make deelar-
alton that God rules the Universe, and
to secure His rights by an Amendment
to the Constitution of the United States!
This sounds abundantly profape and
blasphemous, but that is what their ut
terance amounts to. They call them
selves a Reform Association and they
mean to have the Constitution so amend
ed as to recognize Ged as supreme in
the Government and that Jesus Christ
is divine. That is question on which
Christians have differed from the days
of Arius, but they intend to settle it by
an amendment to the Constitution, and
SO provide that all men who take office
shall swear to it, and then of course,
according to the Usurper's slang, Con-
gress shall have power to enforce it by
appropriate legislation" which will
naturally be little imprisonment, and,
perhaps, little hanging, aud, certain
ly, some disfranchisement. They in
tend to draw the line and know whe is
on the side of God; and they mean it to
be understood that all who oppose them
are against God. The profanity OF
the utterance is only equaled by its
impudence and indecency.- Urband
Union.

WASHINGTON, February 26.-The fol,
lowing are the amendments of the Sen
ate Finance committee to Mr.. Schenck's
bill, which makes the first section read
as follows:
Belt enacted, &C., That in order to re-
move any doubt as to the purpose of the
Government to discharge all the past
obligations to the public creditors, and
to settle conflicting questions and inter,
pretations of its laws, by virtue OF
which such obligations have been con
tracted, it is hereby provided and de-
clared, that the faith of the United
States is solemnly pledged to the pay
ment in coin OF its equivalent of all the
obligations of the United States, except
in cases where the law authorizing the
issue of any such obligations has ex'
pressly provided that the same may he
paid in lawful money, currency, other
than gold or silver.
The second section legalizing COLI
contracts is not changed.

two were living on the night of the
murder, and took the articles in pay
ment. He contradiCted himself on sew
