on the Commission. This fight is for
purpose. Even if Tilden is defeated
they have hopes that President Hayes
can be bulldozed into being very lib
eral in the giving of places, for the
sake of conciliating them, and healing
their bruises. The action of the Com
mission meets with approval from the
business men of the city, irrespective
of party affiliations, and the attempt
of the hot-heads to go back of its de-
cisions and prolong the contest, finds
no backing. The point now is to
have the agony over and the question
settled, and there will be acquiesence
in 1t, no matter which way it goes.
There are $4,000 men in the city of
New York out of work, with every
prospect of remaining so till Spring
opens. There was but little building
last summer, there has been none do
ing this winter, and in all the me-
chanical pursuits stagnation has been
the rule. Every body wears their
boots and clothes a month or two
longer than they did, and nobody
buys any thing in the way of furniture
or furnishing who can possibly avoid
it, and consequently heavy per cent.
of those formerly employed in these
pursuits are sitting still, and many of
them starving. You can get men by
the hundred for eighty cents day,
and strong men are willing to take
Office boys places at Sd a week. A
car-driver exposed to rain and frost,
standing on his feet from FIVE in the
morning till ten or eleven at night,
gets 81 80 day. Its hard times,n
said one to me; but what are you
going to dof If should quit, there
would be thousand applyin' for the
place in an hour. I'm glad to get
even this" Aud women why an ad-
vertisement for woman to do any
thing, at any price, will bring thou
sand answers by noon of the day it
appears. The charities are overbur-
dened, and private individuals are
beset. The professional mendicant,
with thousand different dadges,
takes away a large part of what the
really honest poor ought to have, and
so half-fed, and scarcely clothed at
all, they exist somehow, waiting till
the Spring opens and some kind of
business commences.
Business begins to show slight
Improvement. There are great many
merchants in the city from tie South
and West, and they are buying more
literally than for some time. The
resumption of business by the manu-
facturers of New England is also doing
something to make better feeling.
The most curious phase of the re-
ligious feeling now prevailing, is the
series OF prayer-meetings daily for the
Wall Street gamblers. The bulls and
bears have been finally touched, and
the place of meeting is daily thronged
with them. And they show q great
deal of feeling. Let us hope that it
will stop some of the gambling that
has made that street by word and
reproach. If they should all get de-
Gently converted it would make q
wilderness of it. The spirit is among
them, though, and they appear to be
affected as other sinners are when
under influence. If any thing is ac-
complished among these men it will
be triumph of Christianity that will
outweigh the talk of all the infidels
in the world. PIETRO.
