Hard Times In New York.

New YORK, July 2l.-At meeting OF
the Kings County Charity Commissioners
yesterday, Mr.. Began said that there
was almost as much destitution in the
city now rs in mid.winter. The families
OF unemployed men who up to this time
have never asked for a cent Of charity,
were daily beseiging his office. The sys-
TEN OF outdoor relief had been abandon
ed, and there was no way to provide for
needy callers, except out Of his private
purse. The heads OF families were
forced into idleness by the hard times,
and, having exhausted all Of their sur
plus money, were face to face with starva-
lion. Mr.. Began offered to give his
salary toward relieving this class Of the
poor, as did also Commissioner Raber.
A resolution was passed asking the sn-
pervisors to devise some means for the
temporary relief Of the and destitute
poor, who il not cared for would soon be
imposed on the county in whole families
at increased expense.

spoken Of as Democratic aspirant for
Senatorial houors in that District The
Moundsville Gazette (Dem.) encourages
Bob to came to the front aa. candidate,
and backs him up with the remark that
"as representative in the House from
Wetzel county in the last Legislature, he
attracted as much attention for his warm
adherence TO Democratic principles as
any representative Wetzel county has
chosen for these many years." Then, too,
"he is a genial, cOuruy gentleman-pop-
ular-partirulRfly With the ladies'"
The Gassts does moi state Col. Bob's
strongest point OF recommendation, viz /:
that he deserted Good, Stewart and his
other colleagues on the Impeachment
question, and went oyer TO Burdett and
Bennett. He Topped over along hide OF

That he should have been included in the
general brutality shows the bitter hos
