OUT OF EMPLOYMENT.

The number OF able bodied men in
New York out Of employment is esti-
mated at 50,OO0.- 0.-Er.
New York is not the only city or
place where large portion of the able
bodied men are out of employment. A
similar condition Of idleness pervadcs
the whole country to greater or less
extent. Even this coast is beginning to
show many idle men. There is cause
for this. Some of these idlers are con-
stitutionally so, and if opportunities for
employment were ever SO abundant, so
long as they can bum their living, they
will avoid work. But there is another
class at present, and We think much the
larger class that are willing to work and
prefer to earn their daily living by hard
labor rather than live upon the charities
Of their friends, and these cannot find
employment. What are the causes Of
this state and condition of the working
classes? A very large class of the labor
ing population of the country have been
accustomed to labor for hire, have never
been accustomed to plan work for them
selves and in all the enterprises in
which they have been engaged they
have been simply employees of men of
capital who set in motion aud kept in
active operation enterprises of magni-
tude which required multitudes of labor
ing men and women to carry them for
ward In the east during the war of
the rebellion, articles of consumption
for the troops were in great demand and
at enormous prices, which stimulated
the great industries that produced and
manufactured them; and in the alb.
sence Of thousands who were in the
ranks of cur army, all labor remaining
at home was in great demaud and prices
r
good. The war closed and with the
close ceased the demand for these pro-
ducts, leaving in many cases large
stocks on hand in the ware houses of
the east. Owners and managers foresee-
ing no further market suspended opera
tions and y, discharged their employees
and sent them drift. With the dis
banding of the army returned home
thousands from the war, who also were
without employment. The accumula
tions of the laboring classes during the
war enabled them to survive for several
years without much labor and, the pay
Of the soldiers enabled them to comfort
ably survive the change for time.
But extravagant habits of living formed
in the flush times of the war has since
exhausted their previ1us earnings and
now they feel the necessity for employ
ment, while the owners aud projectors
of the great enterprises demanding la
Dor do not yet feel justified in engaging
in these enterprises but to limited ex
tent. Again large numbers of men who
formerly invested their money in these
enterprises and made fortunes during
the War, have Withdrawn their money
from them and invested it in govern
ment bonds and other securities, and
are perfectly content to realize the
government interest thereon so that the
government itself has Withdrawn from
'-the channels Of trade, manufacture and

AT the expiration OF the morning
hour, the senate resumed consideration
Of the resolution submitted by Mr.
Thurman yesterday, to discharge the
committee on privileges and elections
from further consideration of the ore
dentials Of j. b. Eustls, IA United
States senator from the state OF Louis
lana, for the term commencing March
0, 1878.
After n long debate Mr.. Thurman
withdrew his motion TO discharge the
committee. He disclalmed any inten-
ton Of rejecting upon the committee
OF privileges and elections, by his
motion to have the committee dis-
charged from the further consideration
of MIR. lIustis' credentials. Several
senators had requested him not topress
this motion TO vote, to-day; besides,
1t had been suggested 10y one or two
members of that committee that the
report ia the case would be forthcOm'
ing at an early day, in view of which,
he would withdraw his motion TO dis
charge the committee. Adjourned un-
til Monday.
The senate committee on privileges
and elections, met to-day, and unani-
mously agreed to take up and report
upon the Louisiana senatorial question
without any unnecessary delay. At
was ordered that Mr.. Spotlord and MIR.
Kellogg be notified that the committee
will formally commence the examine
ton of their credentials, and they were
invited to attend and express their
views as to the scope OF the investiga'
ton which they respectively desire.
This motion was offered by Mr.. Hoar,
and WAS adopted unanimously.

meeting of the national academy OF
sciences, at Columbia, on Tuesday
next.
The president with Secretaries Ev.
arts, Thompson and Key will attend

on the 30th and 3lst, Of October.
The president has appointed Colonel
0. II. Fltzsimmons, of Augusta, Geor-
gia, marshal for he state, vice Major

The Star says Senator Isham G, Har.
rls, of Tennessee, is making a vigorous
fight to have the president withhold
the nomination of Judge Baxter, of
Tennessee, for the fifth judicial circuit
court, and has submitted long series
of objections to the appointment TO
the president.
Federal soldiers here. have rendered a
banquet to Major 7, j. Jones, OF Ala
bama, the ex-confederate whom an ad-
dress on the confederate memorial
day in 1874, paid a touching tribute to

A New Orleans special says ex-Gov'
ernor Pinchback has written a letter
to Hon. Jno III. Mitchell, chairman
OF the senate committee on privileges
and elections, renewing his claims to
the senatorship. Referring to the
statement of Senator Thurman, that
there was no contest in the case of Mr..
Eustis, Mr.. Pinchback says:
81 would call your attention to my
credentials of January 18th, 1875
which were duly presented to the senate
by Senator West, read and referred to
committee on privileges and elections
and which have never been acted up
on by said committee. / called Sena'
tor Morton's attention to this matter
in the early part of the last session,
and he promised to investigate the
credentials, which presented as solid a
claim to seat in the senate of the
| ITnitad Statea "A those presented by
either Mr.. Kellogg or Mr.. Eustls, and
| beg respectfully to submit that they
are entitled to and should receive the
careful consideration of the committee

KANSAS CITY, October ia glgan-
tic swindle was brought TO light yes
terday by the arrest OF j. ii. Ham, Ed
ward l.. Stevens and George w. Mil
ler on requlsltion of Governor Hub
bard, OF Texas, charged with forging
land titles and Issuing fraudulent deeds
for large tracts OF land In Texas. The
scheme of fraud was organized by Ham
and another person named Thomas
rullls, OF Austin, Texas. Ham lives
here, and through his persuasion, Ste
vens and Miller were brought into the
plot. Stevens, who IL a lawyer and
the son of Judge Stevens, of this city,
is believed to have gone into the oper-
alton innocently vt first, by purchas-
ing fourteen thousand acres OF Texas
lands from Ham, but subsequently be-
coming fascinated by the oppor-
tunities offered for making money
rapidly, entered freely into u
swindling conspiracy, and was known
In Texas as Kansas City law
yer. In order to better secure the sue
cess of their plans, Ham and his cons
federates caused to be made duplicate
copies of notarial and other seals and
procured specimens Of signatures of
numerous state officials of Texas.
They also caused to be printed blank
forms and exact copies of deeds neces-
sary for their transactions all titles
and patents used by them and repre-
senting either the general govern
ment or that OF the State of Texas,
were forged. An immense amount of
land has been conveyed by them un-
der many different alias to many diff
ferent persons. About Il year ago, the
attention Of Governor Hubbard was
called to the matter, and on looking
into it, he WAS satisfied that mon
s.rous swindle had been perpetrated,
involving the interests of both the
State of Texas and the United
States. The authorities at Washington
were notified Of the facts discovered,
and special agent Foster was sent out
here, where he obtained clues to the
authors of the swindle, which have
been closely followed, resulting In the
arrest of sixty persons simultaneously,
in various parts of the country, who
belong to the gang. Not less than six.
teen courthouses have been set on fire
and burned during the past year to de-
stroy evidences that could have been
brought against the conspirators. Ham
Stevens and Miller left for Texas yes
terday, in the custody of officers from.
that state.
