OUR NEW YORK LETTFR.
Jews at the HOteIs-The tweed Suit
Political.

The great sensation in New York, just
now, is the action of Judge Hilton, the
representative Of the Stewart estate, in ex-
cluding Jews from the Grand Union Hotel
at Saratoga. The Grand Union is the
largest summer hotel in the world, and the
most exclusive. Joseph Seligman, one of
the wealIhiest bankers of this city, has, for
some years lived al the Grand Union, with
his family, during the summer months,
and he applied last week for suitable apart
menis for this season. Much to Mr.. Selig-
mans disgust, the clerk informed him that
he could not have rooms, and when asked
for a reason said that Judge Hilton had in
structed him to refuse all Jews. To saw
that there was storm would be to put it
very mildly. Be it known that the Jews
are enormously wealthy in New York, and
are, moreover, numerous. They are the
largest bankers and among the largest mer-
chants, and they control the theatrical and
opsratic business. There was buzzing
among them, and a newspaper war of vast
dimensions was the result. Judge Hilton
gave as his reason for his action. that anv
hotel was ruined the moment if became
known as Jew house, for the reason that
the Jews are all loud, coarse, obtrusive and
filthy. He said they would get rooms at
the lowest possible rates, and smuggle into
them all their visitors; that they were
filthy in their habits, and that they swarm
in such numbers as to monopolize the pi-
azzasi that in so public place as hotel
Eney mad privileges as guests which gave
Ehem license to be disagreeable to other
people; that their women we're gross. vuI-
gar and Over-dressed, in short. he wouldn't
have them about at any price. On the
other hand, the Jews insist that +ba, oro
as quiet and gentlemanly as anv o+bor
class, that they pay their bills and have
right to all accommodations that other peo-
pie have. And the Jews OF the United
States are Withdrawing their trade from
Stewards, and there is a war rivaling in
bitterness the one raging in Europe. II
is true that there are a class of Jews of tbo

banker now worth his millions and living
in gorgeous style, came into the city with
his pack on his back, and made his com
mencement in the alleys and by-ways.
Manners don't come with money, and it is
not to be expected that such man should
possess all the graees Of good society. His
daughters, dress they ever so well, will be
vulgar. and his sons, no matter how large |
The diamonds they wear, viii be nothing
out snobs. Such are doubtless disagreea-
Die at hotels, and are not to be desired. and
u IS true that the Jews have more than
'helr share Of them. But it is true, on the
otner hand, that there are thousands of
Jews VINO have beth wealth and manners.
and who are as well grounded in all that
makes the gentleman Or lady as anybody.
Hilton made a mistake in rejecting tbe
Jews as a race; he should have reflected
.he bad Jews. The people will not brook

If is always pleasant to see abstruse sub
: iacts handled deftly. Though the effort
NAV betray a streak Of vanity, this weak
ness is so commonly mixed with human af-
fairs, that it is only particularly noticeable
when it is put on-as the boys say-too
thick. The last number but one Of the
Neacs favored It's readers with something
ike the fourth of series of efforts designed
to duly impress them with the sublime Ell
feet produced upon the world by the cru
dition of its articles upon the silver ques-
tion The boldness, independence ana
mower shown in the handling, it IS feared
{ NOT sufficiently appreciated, and the de-
SIGN is to deepen and fix more adequate
innression and appreciation. The hand
linz of that demonetizing question. not
withstanding trifing error about the
manner of the passage Of the bill, made ev-
~ other paper in county stand aghsst-
trsnsfxed in wonder at the power of rea-
soning and research displayed. 1t was the
NesUs that struck the key note-that took
the bull by the horns and made every other
editor in the county tremble in his boots.
While they trembled, however, some OF
them were too puny and otners too venial to
follow its lead, and the poor fellows were
so unmerifully bull-dozed that they were
at their very wits end, or in cold sweat OF
trepidation. About this there could be no
mistake, as the repeated assurances of it by
the Nesgs precluded all peradventure!
Since this state of things existed, we have
been further informed of the effect OF these
ponderous articles in higher plane OF IN
tellect where they could be better apPreci-
ated than in our own locality, and we find
President Hayes and Vice-President Colfax
and the legislature of the State of Ohio
making haste to adopt the lead Of the Neacs,
and the two great national parties Of the
country vieing with each other and putting
their craft and legerdemain to work, to see
who shall be the first to make its impreg-
nabie positions its own. All this was plain
" shown in its last article, and though tOa
superficial reader it may have looked a lit
tie egotistical, it is nevertheless oracularly
asserted and there is no room for question
about its being so. In some subsequent ar
ticle, we may expect to hear that listening
senates and all the old world chancellors
of exchequers have been all agape-intent
upon catching the last dying snatch of the |
NsTs-man's pen upon this mighty subject,
that they might turn it to account and trim
sails accordingly. Oh, it is wonderful what
humble origins some Of these ppodigious
developments have! But then, you can no
more tell how far toad will hop by the
length of his tail, than you can find out |
and measure what latent power and pro-
fundity there is hid away in some Of these

THE TWEED SUIT.
Townsend, Tweed's attorney, .puhilsneS
a tremendous arraignment Of FalrciiHi'
the Attorney-General. Townsend eiA'i-1
that Fairchild deceived Tweed oy PiOi''-1
ing to let him 90 if he would make 'iea"
bresst Of if. that Tweed did so promise
and stood ready to give information that
III - ssved the State two millions,
and vonld have brought the whole gang to
;ustice. but that Fairchlld, in the interest
Of .Iobn Kelly and to smireh the reputation
Of certain men, used such portions of what
Tweed confided TO him as would serve his
purpose, and then refused to let him 90 on
the score that his testimony is worth moth
ing. The true inwardness of it all is that
Tweed is about as honest as a thousand
more who are in both parties. There is
very widespread dread Of seeing him on
the stand, which is probably the reason
why he is kept in duress. There are Re
publicans who took Tweed's money; IN fact
his gigantic frauds could not have been
carried out without help from the Repub-
Iican party. and they are shaking in their
shoes. There are plenty Of Democrats
whom the public esteem who are spotted
with it. and there is widespread uneasi-
ness that Tweed, when he does get on the
stand, viii prove bull in a china shop
and kick over a great many very pretty
kettles of fish. No one knows whom the
old man will strike when he gets within
striking distance, and there are hundreds
who do net want him to have chance to
hit. As it stands, the prosecution has been
an absurd farce. No one has been punished
but Tweed, and he is no worse than the
rest of them. Sweeney gets on by paying
back about twentieth of what be stole,
and IngersoIl was out within few weeks
of the time he went in, and the rest of the
gang have never been hurt particle. The
prosecutions have cost the city four times
as much as was ever realized from the
thieves by restitution, and so absurd has
it become that the moral effect of Tweed's
imprisonment is gone. For, owing to
Fairchild's treatment of the case and the
skillful manipulation of his attorneys,
Tweed is now looked upon as a martyr,
and is more pitied than blamed. 1t is a
sad ending. New York is in as bad hands
to-day as it was when Tweed reigned, and
is entering upon another term of fraud and
corruption. The twenty millions that the
big ring stole only served 10 whet the aP-
petite of those who got bite of it for
full meal.

POLITICAL.a

The city is stirred up on the silver ques-
tion. New York is infexibly opposed to
the remonetizing of silver, and the busi-
ness world stigmatizes the making silver a
legal tender as only another form of infa-
ton. Debts due other countries can no
more be paid in silver than they can in
greenbacks, and the production is so enor-
nous that still further decline is consid-
cred certain. The city will fight it to the
death, and gold is the only standard that
is acceptable; every member from the city
will be instructed to favor no financial
scheme that looks to making anything but
gold the standard of values.
The cleansing of the custom-house is go
ing on satisfactorily. The old suckers are
mostly cleaned out and class of men who
are willing to work for the government are
in their places. The Post Office, never so
bad as the Custom-House, for skilled men
were necessary there, is also being shorn of
many men, and stricter discipline and
more efficiency in the service is being had.
In short, there is a cleaning up all round,
which is as gratifying as it was unexpec-
ted, The people have discovered that
President Hayes was in dead earnest in the
matter of civil service reform, and they re-
joice exceedingly. But it strikes the old
bummers with awful force. Those who
have already lost their heads fill the bar
rooms with their lamentations. 1t is a bad
time for ofice-holders, who depend upon
the strength of ''our member" "Our
member isn't as great man as he was
once. The merchants report better feel
ing among the business men of the South
As absurd as was the howl about military
occupation, the removal of the troops from
the South did have some effect in stimula-
ting trade in that section. The Southern
people have now a certainty of a policy,
and they can make their calculations ac-
cOrdingly. The sentiment in the city is
overwhelming in favor of the President
among men of all parties who have any
thing to risk, and he is growing in strength
every day. P1ETRo.
