New YoRK. May 10, 1877.
To the Editor of the Free Press and Times
The President visited New York as the
guest of the Chamber Of Commerce. Ills
reception was signif can't. On Tuesday he
unveiled a statue Of Fitz Green Hlalleck, IN
Central Park, and notwithstanding the at
traction of the carnival, an immense throng
went thither to pay their respects to him.
Or Wednesday he received the citizens at
the City Hall, and for four mortal hours he
was kept shaking hands with the
best citizens. 1t was not the mere
curiosity to see President that Kept mer-
chants and lawyers in long cue for hours
under broiling sun. 1t was to do honor to
this particular President, who has shown
the nerve to grapple with the corruptions
that were undermining the Government 1t
was to indorse his policy, and his Admins

WAGONS. on which were low women and
lower men, dressed in various costumes,
but as they rode along IN solemn silence
and the densest darkness. nobody saw or knew
anything about them. The ball at Gilmore
garden was even q more dismal failure
rich brewer paid So 900 for the privilege oil
personatiDg the king OF the carnival,
and as he kept drunk all the day 1t Is to DC
presumed he got the worth of MS money
and now it has transpired that the scheme
was the work of couple of frauds from New
Orleans. They charged SIS each for the
advertising wagons, they sold the PRIV,
lege' OF riding IN the procession as dukes,
earls," etc., Tor large sums, they solo the
privileges OF the bars, stands and coat rooms,
at Gilmore's garden for great deal oil
money, and they collected large sums from
the hotels and other places OF public resort
They got everything on credit, those from
whom they got supplies, supposlng that
reputable citizens were at the head OF IT.,
and as they paid nothing. it is estimated
that they cleared not less than Sl5,OOo by
the operation. IL cost tne Guy one en.me

! There seems to be an epidemic OF suicides
with the approach of hot weather. One
young man came down from Orange county
to get work. but was disappointed lie had
watch which he intended to pawn to live
on till he could get something to do, bet 1t
was stolen from him the night OF the carnl-
val, and he went to his room and shot HIM
self The police recovered the watch two
hours after. A woman hung herself in Mac
Dougal street, because her husband ran
away from her, and wealthy man named
Adams, took poison, because there was so
} much worry in taking care OF his estate a
merchant was found dead in the basement
of his store on Broadway, leaving note
stating that his trade had ieit him, and he
saw no hopes OF revival, and young man
cut his throat, because he could not get an
, appointment IN the postoihce. All THESE
with dozen others who stepped out with
} out giving a reason, In a week Is there
anything IN heat that drives peop,e 10 the
D madness that must precede suicide!
