4 S-fD SIGHT.

There is no sadder sight in New York
than that witnessed at the station houses
about six o'clock in the evening. There
are thirty station houses in the city.
Around these gather at six O'Clock the
houseless, homeless, destitute people of
the city. They number from one hum
dred to two hundred persons at each
station. These are old and young,
women and children, tramps and respec-
table people out of employment. They
ask a nights lodging. and must have it
or perish. One reason why tramps are 50
numerous in the country is that thou
sands ara ont of employ many of whom
are ashamed to be seen begging in the
city, and the impression prevails that
people are more charitable in the coun-
try than in New York. 1t is the Gus
tom of many of the restaurants, at the
close of the days business, to gather up
the fragments remaining and hand them
out to the poor on the sidewalk. Long
lines of suffering, hungry, wretched and
halt-clad creatures stand in patient wait
ing by the hour for their turn. Some
times the line will extend two or three
blocks. The women are wrctched look
ing, and nearly every one has babe in
her arms. The basket generally gives
out before half the line is supplied, and
the sorrowing hungry ones are turned
away empty.

support OF BristoVv a Crime !

A DESIRE EXPRESSED TO HAVE ALL THE o. 81
OFFICERS REMOVED.
The following editorial article from the
Dover State Sentinel of to-day will be read
with great entertainment Its assumption
that the support of Secretary Bristow for
the Cincinnati nomination WAS an attack on
President Grant is exactly the idea which
was circulated and cultivated by the
Whiskey Ring thieves. Whenever Bristow
moved on their works that was their cry.
The article, as will be seen, tries to incite
to an effort to remove all the Federal ap-
pointees, but its malice ie greater than it's
ability to stir up trouble:
will THEY RESIGN ?-After his unsuc-
cessful fight against President Grant-the
man from and under whom he held the
favor of office-Mr. Bristow resigned.
Bluford Wilson followed suit.
Messrs. Prettyman, Thompson, Higgins,
Pyle and Dunn carried on a similar warfare
against the President, in the interest of
Bristow, both in Delaware and at Cincinna-
I'll. 1t was bitter, personal, but unsuccess-
full. They are still in Office by the favor OF
President Grant. Will they resign? or will

he can marry, if 80 inclined. He sneaks be-
hind the door of the inamorats, and when

dertakes to bear her away to his dog. sledge.
She screams, bites, kicks, and breaks away
from him, He chases her, and the old
women of the settlement come out with
frozen strips of sealskin and give her a
thwack. After running the gauntlet of
these old women, she falls down exhausted
and surrenders. The bridegroom then
lashes her to his sledge, and whipping up
his dogs they fly over the frozen snow, and
the wedding is contaminated.

From the Neio York Times, To-Day.
AS to noise, we shall have twenty-fonr
hours of continuous uproar far SURPRISING
anything heard at the st. Louis Conven-
ton. There will, Of course, be running
fire of fireworks during Monday evening,
,bdt at midnight the discharge of an enor-
mons Rodman gun at Governors leland
will be the signal for the opening of pa
triotic pandemon,um. There are at this
moment in the City of New York more
horse pistols to the square mile than have
ever before been collected in any one COM
munity. The number Of toy cannons, war
ranted to make more noise and kill fewer
boys than any instrument of torture ever
VET invented, which are waiting
for the midnight signal to begin
their dreadful work is enor-
nous, while the quantities of fire-crackers
already in the possession Of the innumera-
Bile small boy are simply beyond possibility
of reckoning. At IL o'clock on Monday
night the horrible din will begin. Nota hu-
man being on Manhattan Island will achieve
a second of sleep for the ensuing twenty
| four hours. Laudanuu, or even Mr.. Til
denis longest letters, will be in vain Re-
spectacle citizens will writhe in their beds
in sleepless agony, and gather around che
breakfast table with haggard looks and vi
cious in temper. Their children will exude
fire-crackers at every pocket, and all
parental discipline will be suspended in
face Of the fact that boy stuffed with tor
pedoes is liable to explode with disastrous
results if brought in contact with the pa
ternal rod or the maternal slipper. The
worst of it is that there is no city of refuge
where immunity from noise can be se-
cured. II we fly to the mountains the small
boy and his fire-crackers will be there and
if we rush to the seaside the patriotic inn
keeper will greet US with his cannon and
his rockets. The funerals will not begin
until the 7th or 9Th OF the month, and hence
will not strengthen us to endure the pains

another. "We would just as soon had
Hendricks, and we would ever 80 much
rather have had Seymour or Tom Bayard,
or Thurman. In fact, almost all Of us feel
that we would prefer a man who had seen
more public service than Tilden, but the
old man worked his case up 80 completely
that when the time came there was nobody
but he that had a chance" This is not a
very high kind of praise from ones friends;
but the conviction is general and openly
spoken of among the Democrats here that
Mr.. Tilden got the nomination not because
he was wanted, but because by the most

he PROGRESSES TO HESITATE BUT WANTS To BE
PREssED-HE WILL ACCEPT.
Special Dispatch to the N. Y. Times
INDIANAPOLIS, June 80. Gov Hendricks
has asserted more than one hundred times
since his defeat for the Democratic nomina-
ton for President at st. Louis that under
no circumstances would he accept the sec
ond place on the ticket but he failed to de
rect his friends at st. Louis to withdraw
his name should it be presented. He knew
he had been nominated for the Vice Presi-
dency two hours before the Convention ad-
journed, and yet he did not telegraph his
refusal This is an old game of Hendricks.
Years ago he refused to be a candidate
Governor. HI had been twice defeated for
that Office, and repeatedly declared that
under no circumstances would he accept,
but when the delegates began to assemble
he consented. Now he is hesitating, and
to- day established his headquarters at a
leading hotel, where the Democrats could
reach him The more readily IN order to urge
his acceptance.
The majority of the leading Democrats
here assert that the nomination of rilden
means defeat in the October States. The
nomination of Hendricks does not help the
matter, and notwithstanding that the Nor
rlssey crowd promised to furnish any
amount OF money that might be required TO
carry this State in October, they do not be-
heve it can be done. Indeed, the nomina
ton creates no enthusiasm whatever, and
hundreds of Democrats openly declare that
they will not vote for Tilden under any cir
cumstances. They also say that Hendricks
cannot accept the second place upon the
ticket with Tilden on that platform without
stultifying his record and disgrscing HIM
self before the world. The Hendricks men
are very bitter against Tilden, and swear
they will never forgive him.
1t is understood tonight that Gov. Hem
bricks will accept the nomination, and the
New Yorkers went home with that assur-
ance. In his letter Of acceptance the Gov
ernor will strongly urge the repeal Of the
Resumption act

know, of his own knowledge, that Dr. No
len now has, or ever received, letter or
letters from MIR. Fisher, directing or advi-
sing the withholding of the $5000., though
he has heard that such letter or letters
were received by the Doctor. He cannot
now remember who told him this-though
some person or persons did-it was "a ru-
NOR" The story came to him, he also
says, after he became bail for the Doctor,
and not before.
Mr.. Griffith was simply one OF the Sc
curities for Doctor Nolen's appearance a5

STRONG TESTIMONY PRESENTED TO THE SEN
ArE's ooMMITTEE-THE CHARGES UNDE-
MED.
Special Dispatch to the Neto York Tines.
WAsHINaToN, June 30.-The committee
of the Senate which went to Mississippi,
some time ago, to investigate the last State
election, have returned to Washington.
The committee examined q hundred or more
witnesses, and took large volume Of tes-
tlmony. 1t was declared by the Democrats,
and believed, by many Republicans, that
Senator Morton's speech on Mississippi af.
fairs, last winter, was overdrawn. The evId-
ence taken by the commitJee SHOWS that the
atrocities that characterized that election
have never been pictured with half their
horrible reality. The murder Of one OF the
colored members Of the State Senate was
accompanied by more than barbaric indie
cency as well as cruelty, the practices of
the savage Modocs being outdone by the
sons of chivalry. The Democrats, having
far opportunity to produce Witnesses, at
tempted to disprove none of the outrages
charged, but excused and palliated the
crimes on the ground of bad government
and intolerable abuses.

that Gen. Butler will run for Congress in
the Seventh District this Fall if not as
the Republican candidate then on an Inde-
pendent ticket. Boston Post.

Post, son in-law of VIM. Cullen Byrant,
was one of those who sent congratulatory
telegram to Tilden, but it is not expected
the Post will support him.
The republicans of the twentieth Ohio
district iaave nominated Amos Townsend;
and of the fourth Samuel Crsighead for
