Borrowers i'm New York.

IT would seem as if the city had been
districted by borrowers, each district hav-
ing its infesters. The leading hotels, or
rather their patrons, are laid under con-
tribution by these financial pests, who
take their position at stated hours, and
ply their trade perseveringly from season
to season. These are the fellows who,
having exhausted the metropolitan mine,
are following the stronger lode. They
are better acquainted with the arrivals in
town than the drummers themselves.
They scan the registers as antiquarians
would Wondering inscription, and greet
with fulsome f1attery and cordial hand
shaking every provincialist they have
ever encountered. Their accidents are
chronic; their misfortunes unvarying.
They have always lost their pocket-book,
or left it at home; they have been sud-
denly called out of town, or have re-
ceived a dispatch requiring immediate
answer. They have failed to receive an
expected remittance; their wife is very
i'll, or their child has just died; they must
have money or go mad. Ut may be noted
here that they rarely go half so mad as
the credulous creatures Go after lending
them.)
A gentleman blessed with a good mem

of petitioners for call-loans, declares that
one of these tricksters has been bereaved
during the past six months of offspring to
the number of ninety-eight, and has be-
come widower not less than sixty times.
Who can regard without profoundest
pity mortal struggling under such an
accumulation of sorrows, and not respond
pecuniarily? Like rhetorical questions
are put by the borrower. He who an
swers them with his pocket-book may
charge it's contents perpetually to Profit
and Loss.
New York has thousands of regular
borrowers, and volunteers are entering
the strategic army daily and hourly. The
ranks are always full to overlooking, and
mastery advances are constantly making
on the foe, who is hoodwinked by the
pretext that he is a friend. The foe is
any gull or generous fellow who hates to
say no, or gives to his prosecutor the ben
eft of the doubt. The foe can win little
glory by resistance; his wisest course is
retreat, and he is apt to do so finally,
though not before his portemonnaie bears
many humiliating sears.-.Jata5aGs Henry

NEWSPAPER.
From Old and Ne,o.

From Old and New.
There are sufficient and substantial
reasons for the re-enactment Of tho re.
pealed free exchange and free home
circulation laws. This repeal is 4 pos.
tive advance in tendeneJ-already
obvious, and, for various reasons, bad
towards an extinction of local news-
papers, TO make room for large monop-
ol'zing city newspapers. According.
ly, anybody who has observed the opin-
ions of the press on the repeal will re-
collect that, the larger and more pow.
erfal tho paper, the more decidedly
did it approve the repeal. It has been
an established policy Of the great city
papers to set forth the duty Of the To-
cal papers to scrape together their local
news, and leave great men. It is nat
ural that a city newspaper manager
should covet large circulation
and great influence. 1t is his very Oh.
vious policy to make the country pa
pers mere local reporters for him. The
only thing he would like better would
be to discontinue them entirely, add
their circulation to his, and substitute
local correspondent, or occasional re-
porter, for the local editor. A euri.
Gus phenomenon, Of late frequently OBJ
sered in divers quarters, is another in
stance Of this same policy: Newspape,
after newspaper, ''local'' or 'provin:i-
al" will be found, having in its tele-
graphic column an item like the fol.
loving: "'The New York Blovgun'
Of tomorrow will say go aud so; and
then fellows paragraph, not Of news,
but of editorial. This, of course, has
a direct tendency to discredit the local
paper; for the reader says, "Ah :! then
the important thing is not what my
editor says, but what The New York
Blowgun' man says l guess I'll stop
my paper, and take The Blowgun.' L."
There never was more ingenious de-
| vice to induce men to cut their own
throats for the good Of somebody else.

GOV. JOHN c. BROWN.

From the memphis appeal, Aug. Is.
"Tray, B auche and Sweetheart" are no
longer bounding at the heels of John G.
Burch. His triumphant defense has over
whelmed his assailants, and discomftted
and chagrined, they have retired 10 their
Kennels, but give an occasional growl at
Gov. John G. Brown. The moon suffered
no detriment from similar velps, and Gov.
Brown will pass triumphantly through a
similar o. deal. No public man can pass
through the crucibles of official station with
out severe criticism. Gov. Browns private
aid public life has been so blameless, his pop
ularity go absolute and unparalleled that he,
no doubt, feels keenly and views with deep
regret the unjust and unprovoked war
made upon him. But innocent of any act
calculated to ipjure himself or those whose
interests he has at heart, the people
will still lavish upon him that
affection which they have heretofore exhib-
tied. Active, vigilsnt and energetic, thor
oughly informed upon sll matters of detail,
and scrupulous in the performance of every
duty; oflarge experience and fine admin
istrttive ability, and burning with an in
tense and almost fanatical devotion to the
State over which he presides, we may rest
assured that nothing will be omitted on his
part to maintain, defend and protect every
interest committed to bis charge. The
p;wers vested in him have so far been ex-
e-cised with consummste tact and prudence,
and the people of Tennessee, of al classes
and shades Of opinion, save the lit squad
Of indictments, unmistskably indicafe
calm and abiding confidence that they will
continue to be exercised with Judgment,
sagacity and fidelity. No nobler tribute
could be accorded to a public functionary
than the reliance so universally felt and ex-
pressed at time like this in the patriotism
and integrity OF the chief executive Of the
State.

EMIGRATION from Russia to the United
S stes is increasing with amazing rapidly.
10 one steamer recently, more than four
hundred Russians took passage for the New
World. The Russian peasantry are hardy,
industrious and thrifty, and make excellent
farmers for the Northwest, on the line of
the Northern Pacific Railroad. The eli
mate Eu!ts them, and the price of land in
that section will enable them to easily OBJ
tain small farms. Such lettering of the
condition Of class Of the Inhabitants of
Russia will have the effect of making the
exodus from that country still more general.
The danger is that the Gar will issue an
snti-emigration ukase, and stop the drain
upon bis people.

ACCORDING to the Washington Herald
bo.h Boutwell, and Blaine are candidates
for the Presidency, and opposed to tie
three term movement of Grant. The same
journal says: "Ths appointment of Rich.
arlson, per on of no political consequence,
to be Secretary of the Treasury, was adroit-
~ managed by Boutwell, TO prevent the
Department, with its important and widely
ramifed political influence, from being d.
vered IN the campaign Of 1876 to the sup
port of rival candidate for the Presiden-
cy." Blaine is also using his power as
Speaker of the House TO build up party in
a the States, as Colfax did when be occu-
pied the same position. The chairman of
al important Committee will often weigh
down a State delegation, and q chance to
g,t in bill ct particular juncture of af-
fairs bag . dozen delegates. No man
knows this better than Speaker Blaine, and
none will use the power in a more subtle,
yet effective manner. With the Treasury
Department and the Speaker of the House
against him, the would be Cesar will find
thorns IS well as laurel leaves in his crown.

THE Cincinnati Commercial has grown

ture of this country. The New York
Herald is on The wrong track. There is
Io;hing TO fear from Grant, except his bad
example in the perfunctionsry discharge of
fic;al duties, and bis general disposition to
let things drift for better or worse. The
gigantic monopolies that have been called
into life and developed by Republican pol

POSTMASTER GENERAL CREsswELL has
hit upon curious way to rid himself of
mail robbers. Instead of ferreting out the
guilty parties who have frequently robbed
the postofiee at Perry station, Arkansas,
Mr.. Cresswen ordered the office to be dis
continued. So the people are punished be-
cause he thieves are not caught. This is
If piece with the p0licy the military pur-
sued during our civil war. When the Con-

ed or otherwise destroyed the property of
