and she is not unlike her distinguished
brother, the President of the United
States. Mr.. and Mrs. Corbin are mem
bers OF the Methodist Episcopal Church
in Fourth avenue, (Rev. Mr.. Ridgeway
pastor,) at which they both attend very
regularly. In his time Mr.. Corbin has
been clever political writer, and Is cred.
tied among his friends with being the
real author of Gen. Grants inaugural ad-
dress. Previous to his marriage witt
Miss Grant, Mr.. Corbin was exceedingly
Intimate with her brother, and he is also
credited with the remark that " If Grant
should ever be elected President he would
never retire from the position"
THE GOLD VILLAINS ExC0RIATBD.
The New York correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Commercial thus Justly charae-
terises the gold spectators, and lets into
! the Governments 1nIa1nl -hit.
These brutal eGheale deserve no more
mercy than Philistines, and should DO
saitten down by thousands, Vanderbilt
I al their head. Netalk about naked Wo-
men and the smaller vices; the iron
| plunged TO the heart of this nation Was
| through the hell-throat of Wall street and
the nostrils of its adjacent alleys. Every
merchant in the nation, every trader
/ every go-beLween of the producer ana
consumer, has the evil necessity OF his
business for his excuse and yindication;
but the spirit of stoek-jobbery is the
breath OF the devil, and fnds its excuse
lower down thau the nadiF.
Ten milliens Of hard-Working mon in
this land, tOiling from morning TO night,
earn by ths sweat of their brOws bread for
their families, and add wealth to the ma
tion, They combine for honest protection
to put down thieves and murderers. The
thief and murderer, when they are caught,
have their apolOgy-in poverty and des-
pair, perhaps-and are punished, never
thsless. But here, on the outside OF the
proper limits of civilized society, neither
working, producing nor conveying, with
no pretext but their oYn Eeastlin for
being above ground, for enjoying the air
and sunlight, Is a rabble of pillsgers aud
cut-throsts, banded buccaneers, to prey
upon legitimate commerce, snatchers Of
the life and breath of the people from the
Psorie's lips, grown rich from robbery,
c1lpable ana qlsgEstlpg as house-break-
ing-these arc held respeetablel They
are the big thieves TO whom we take of
oar i,ats, hanging the little ones; they go
uppunishedJ until their greed grown
vast, gets q great city HHdsr their foot,
and it howls for mercy, and then al
they must be struck down by the strong
arm of the nation, which by msrest aeci-
dent holds fol the nonoe in its grasp the
mace Of power. Society has no business
to call upon Government for protection in
such matters. Government has no bust
ness to furnish aid. Perhaps at another
time, when commerce Is at the mercy of
thieFes, Government will not be able.
The moral OK THIS 5eY York gold panic,
at bottom, is simply this, that these
bFosdploth covered roYdies, who lige 81,
Pifth avenue aud Clifton Heights, who
go down into Wall street Hnd the kx-
change, selling gold that they do not pos
sess, who, to cover the heaFtlessness Of
their morals, and their worthlessness TO |
the world, give charities to churches,
mayhsp, and aims 70 the poor, who roll |
patronage rpeB the poor laborer trudging !
homeward With his dinner basket on his |
aria, are no better than the Stisis cutsttss |
taken in the aei Of knock down robbery |
at midnight By the police, aud should be |
held no more respectable than such ia |
public opinion. Society which now takes |
off its hat to these rowdies because they |
are rich, should put its fist in their faces |
bs0asSa they are thieves. The business |
world is Responsible for the calamities |
brought TO 1t every now and then by these !
thieves, through giving them recognition !
in the social world. Broadway mer-
chants should refuse to take by the hand |
Wall street gamblers. Ministers of |
churches should fling their profTered |
pripcely gifts back into their faces and |
denoglies sle.fi IN their pews when they |
presume to Sit there for sihseTs end hypo-
critics. The press Should track their asso- !
9igtiops to the gambling -hells and make |
their esillRg 4 hY'EQrd'of disgrace. |
