ChsAslng nis COMPANY.

Judge Hilton, one of the priocipal
berefciaries, 10 the A T. Stewart es-
tate and present head of the establish
ment 10 New York, has created an
unusual sensation by an edict exclud
ing Jews from the Grand Union Hotel
D~SSaaatoga. Tie war opened several
days ago by his declination to receive
the families of certain prominent
Israeiites, among whom was )seph
Seligman, banker of wide acquaint-
ance aud large influence.
Two reasons have been assigned for
this extraordinary action, one being
that the Jews were growing numerous
and trd%lblesome at the large places of
summer resort-requiriug great atten
tion, and, by their forms of diet and
social peculisrities, driving away
guests more acceptable and more profit
able to hotel proprietors the other
being that Judge Hilton bad a. per
soDal animosity 10 some individuals OF
Jewish faith, who had caused MIN to
be black balled upon application Tor
membership in some secret society,
and he proposed to extend his reta.s-
alton to the whole Hebrew family
Other hotels. are said, however, to
sympathize with his action, and the
best opinion is, that the movement
has social aud peeuniary significance
1t is announced that number Of
Jews have already Withdrawn their
patronage from the house of A. T..
Stewart & Co, but this seems to give
Judge Hilton little trouble, or. rather,
none at all. lie says the accounts
ordered closed do not average over
5000 sum too Insignificant to con
slider 10 such a business. He thinks
the Jews will buy where they can buy
the cheapest, without regard to any
social slight which may be offeredl
them.
Some threats have been made to the
effect that the great house of Roth
schild will rise in its might and swal
low up the little honse of Stewart. 1t
is said that the European money kings
can so cripple and impede the trans
actions of the New York house as to
finally produce it's ruin.

The New Indian War.

W e enter upon the summer with ouI
( usual Indian war. AT just about this

there was lively chasing of the red

II appears that Mr.. Henry Hilton
has given orders that hereafter no Jew
shall be admitted as guest at the
! Grand Union Hotel, the largest public
! hoose o. Saratoga Springs. This hotel
was built and furnished by the late
Alexander I Stewart, at a cost Of two
millions Of dollars, aud Mr.. Hilton has
control of il as trustee under Mr.
stewards will. Mr. Joseph Seligman,
= wealthy Jewish banker of New York,
Was actually refused rooms aud turned
away from the Grand Union Hotel,
the manager saying to him: MIR.
/ seligman, | am required to inform you
/ that Mr.. Hilton has given Instructions
I that 90 Israeites' shall be permitted in
iuture to stop at this hotel" On re-
monstrating against this treatment by
letter addressed to Mr.. Hilton, Mr.
SeiIgman received DO satisfaction
Out Of this matter we apprehend
very considerable FIRE will be kindied
OF all the guests at Saratoga, for sew
eral years past, the proportion OF Jews
has been very large, and il has been
steadily on the increase. Whether ex-
Guiding this class from the Grand
Union Hotel Aill result in CORES
pondIDg or femunerative increase OF
Christian and heather guests is prob
lem yet TO be solved.
SUme practical Inconvenience, we
should suppose, might be experienced

The effect of this movement by Mr.
Hilton maybe considerable ou the
dry goods t.sde of A. I. Stewart &
Go. Their retail store for several
years yast, as every frequenter Of it
must have observed has swarmed with

will these people continue TO buy

the present head Of the house?
The Jews have been rapidly filing
up every avenue to wealth aud pros

have become very important part OF
