Advice to Young Men Aboat Going
West
LosvEeAs, \. NJ, Sept. IS, 1874.

LOSNESAsy N M sept 10, 10 4.
To the Editor Of the Star;
Will you afford me little space in YOUR psp7r
to offer few words of advice to the young men
of the east who are afflicted with western fever,
or, in other words, who contemplate seeking
speedy fortunes in the far west. Will premise
by saying that the advice comes from one who
has traversed nearly the whole country from the
Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, aud whose eyes
have ever been open to the most CAREFUL scruti-
ny aud close observation, and believe can
say without danger, where known, of being
charged with egotism, that there has been no
lack OF energy or perseverance on my part. In
nearly every large western city 1 have found a
foating mass OF transient young men seeking
situations, most of whom seem to have started
west win barely money enough to pay their pas
sage and the necefsary expenses of a few weeks,
relying solely upon obtaining lucrative sItua-
tion as clerk, bookkeePer, or some other posi-
ZION IN which they could lead sedentaly and
easy life, and at the same time accumulate
money. The re 1ult, in nine ce ses out of every
ten (ss judicious person would anticipate), Is
sad disappointment, which frequently lel1s to
the most serious consequences.
will here allude TO one city alone, which is
but the true counterpart of several others that
have visited, viz: San Francisco, California. i
spent nt arly two years In that city, and venture
to say that there was no time during this period
that there were not ten thousand young men In
the city without employment or any visible
means OF support, many of whom were fully
competent to fill creditably and efficiently
almost any position from a hotel porter to that
ing-house. L met a number of young men who
had received the most liberal collegiate educa-
uon; but who, after exhausting every effort to
secure suitable situation were Offering their
services in any capacity without other compen-
satiOn than theIr beard.
Without sufficient capital to embark success.
fully in business, no young man should venture
west unless he Is prepared physically and has
the disposition to obtain his bread by the sweat
Of his brow. If destitute of the above all
essential elements, he is almost certain to fail,
a str Rnt1
to the young man with strong arm and stout
heart, with will and the muscle to overcome
all obstacles that may arise to impede honest
industry, my advice is, come west but shun
large cities, which in nearly every instance you
Will find surfeited with idle thousands who have
not where to lay their heads, and every avenue
Of industry closed against your honest endea-
yor.
There are millions of broad and fertile acres
awaiting development by the strong arm of the
sturdy emigrent, while the idle and unprodu-
ing class in the cities and towns are constantly
clogging the wheels Of industry and ENTERPRISE

SENATOR SCHURZ made an elaborate speech
on state and national affairs in St. Louis last
night. He denounced the Kellogg government
as an usurpatiOH, but upheld the President in
intervening to prevent anarchy. Congress.
should at once, on reassembling, undo the usur-
patton set on foot by federal judge, and, suI-
ported by United States marshal and federal
Gayonets, make every citizen understand and
feel that while preserving intact the lawful au-
thorlty OF the government, they are ready to
throw sside all selfish considerations OF party
interest when the rights and welfare of the peo-
pie and the integrity of republican instit itutions
are in question. He believed the President
should remove United States Marshal Packard
Whom he considered a partisan, and appoint
some impartial person in his stead. He con-
demned the rutfianly element in the south for
their outrages upon cOlored men. and urged
that white mems leagues be disbsnded at once.
He could not support the civil rights bill, be-
cause he believes it unconstitutional, and ex-
pressed the belief that If il becomes law IL
VIII break up the whole public school ystem of
the southern states, and nobody will be greater
sufferers thereby than the colored people. AS
soon as the c0lored man casts his vote on this
side or the other, as his opinions or inclinations
may dictate, each party will make their pro-
lection special object in order TO attract the
majority OF their votes. That will do more to
stop the bloody excuses in the south than anv
military interference, and more to establish
just and benehcent relations between the two
races than any Congressional legislation. The
Serat0r then entered into an elaborate discus
sion Of the finance question, and dweIt at some
length upon state affairs.
