Especial Correspondence of the Chief
NEW YORK, December 5th, 1873.
DEAR CHIEF:
After lapse of two weeks / again
devote few minutes to the eddifi-
cation of your many readers. My only
apology for having neglected them is
that have been playing the part of a
detective. / have devoted two entire
weeks in looking for the wretch who
wrote a poem some years ago, eulo-
giving the beautiful snow which has
made our streets "slashy" and
"dirty" for the last two weeks. Yes,
] was determined on one thing, i. e.,
that he should supplement that
"yarn" by another in which there
would be some semblance of truth.
Since / last entertained the CHIEF
tains great events have transpired in
Gotham. The boasting' and brazen
faced ex-sachem of the Tammany
Wigwam has been summarily dealt
with by jury of his countrymen.
He was found guilty on several hun
dred of the counts Of which he was
charged and Judge Davis, the most
fearless advocate who ever occupied
the bench sentenced this once great
and mighty man to twelve years in
the State penitentiary and twelve
thousand five hundred and odd dol
lars. His right hand men have Jared
equally as bad-Ingersoll and Far
rington. It will be remembered that
these too worthless are those who re-
ceived fabulous prices for putting
new bottoms in chairs for the New
Courthouse which were never re-
paired. But to this trial there is a se-
quel. The counsel for defendants for
having been discourteous to the court
were all fined and reprimanded. New
York, with Republican Judges, will
yet redeem herself, and criminals who
for years past have made this place
Of resort, will give it wide berth.
Since the Spanish outrages the
financial crisis has been lost sight of
and every one, who is not otherwise
is ready to go and give to |
the Spanish butchers the trouncing
they so well deserve. If the enlisting !
bureaus would enroll all who present
themselves, in one month we would |
have the beginning of an army as for
nidable as that of Prussia. The ma
ority of those who present themselves
md seem oyer-anxious to fight our
'attles are mostly foreigners who are
nut of employment and unable, owing
o the dizziness of trade, of obtaining
ny. Very few Americans are impa-
lent to go to the front and perhaps

ne, prefer my feather bed and
aatehed roof to the soft side of a
pard y on the tented field. I can

UNPARALLELED COMBINATION.

In order to introduce our BRIDAL
NEEDLE we have secured the entire edition
of the equisite French Oil Chromos of
The Twins Asleep and the Twins at PLAY
mounted copies of which are here herewith
most respectfully submitted, together with
our invaluable NEEDLE-BO0K, all of
which We furnish for the small sum Of .F6
cents, or two pairs of the Chromos and
two Needle-B 0oks for SI.AO.
The superiority and excellence of those
Needles are well established. Their smooth
ness of eye. gradual taper of point, and
elastic temper make them fayorites where
ever presented.
As the Agents profits are small, please
have the change in readiness for his call.

The Presidents message was quite
lengthy document, and produced a
favorable impression upon Congress
and the people. The comments con-
corning the case of the Yirginius,
though not SO severe as was ahtici-
pated, must be acknowledged as wise
and JudicioHs. 1t is plain to be seen
that the President condemns decid-
edly the commission of the outrage,
and denies the right of the Spanish
authorities to modest the Yirginius,
still he will not recommend inconsid-
crate action but leaves the matter
wholly to the wisdom of the assem-
e peoale.
