NOT FAST YOUNG NAN AMONG THEM
HENRY THE BowERY BUTCHER.
NEW YORK, March 17.-Speakipg Of
the dissipation of our first families, 1t
is to be noticed that an exception 10
found in the Astors. This house has
never had fast young man. The spe.
cial weakness In this family is found
in its idiotic character. William b.
Astor's youngest sop,S Henry, was re-
Gently mulcted $40, 900 for an assault
upon child. Henry is partially lido
tic. He was in the habit of "preach-
ing" in the kitchen, and on one
occasion . child laughed at him
whereupon he struck her in q violent
manner. The result was an actisn for
assault, and the jury, IN view OF the
wealth of the family, gave verdict
Of $40, 600. This is the heaviest dana
ages ON record for sach an offence in
this country. The Astors at first, as It
is said, determined not to pay 1t, but
on second thought they reached diff
ferent conclusion, and the judgment
was satisfied. The great AstOr estate
is now in the hands of Williams other
sons, John Jacob and william. The
former IL q leading proprietor and
director of the Delaware and Hudson
Canal Company, which is the heaviest
of our coal corporations. It is now in
great trouble its stock having declined
S63 (per share of 5000 since last
March. As a director Astor has 10
bear part Of this difficulty, and the de-
cline in the roarket value OF his stock
is estimated at nearly million. The
company is now threatened with bank
ruptcy.
John Jacobs brother William has
been spending the winter in Florida,
but will return as soon as the Northern
climate is sufficiently mild. He has
improved his Southern opportunities
by joining Masonic lodge at Jack
sonVille. In doing this he follows the
example of his grandfather (the origi-
nal John Jacob. who was in his day q
noted member of the fraternity. Old
John Jacob was of social turn, and
was fond of both billiard and theatri-
Gals. He loved to attend the Park
Threatre. of which he was the
owner.
His brother Henry, the noted butch
er, owned tbc DoWeTy, anu tuus tno
sole theatrical establishments OF that
day were in the hands Of this pair.
John Jacobs son William differed in
these points from the old man. BE
was not social, and l never heard OF
his giving even dinner party. He
was not theatre goer while, far from
joining a lodge, it may be said he
never joined anything except the ranks
of married lite. He never was mem
ber of political party, nor Of club,
nor of lodge of any kind. He never
Joined fire company nor q church.
he never was a director in bank or
insurance company; never was in the
militia; never did jury duty,and never
had any marked friendships. The
fact is he was the most striking mega
ton this city ever produced. All he
did was to collect rents and invest his
money. Only as tenants could man
kind become of any value TO him. A;
a matter of family pride, he added "a

The County Board is now considering,
through its Committee, the purchase Of sup
plies for the Poor-Honse, Hospital, County
Agent, and the various sources which eat up
SO large an amount Of the taxpayers money.
In times like these, and under the present
shrinkage in prices, no business man need
be told that all the supplies can be bought
at lower prices than at any time before for
many years, and that, if the County Board
were so disposed, the contracts could be let
SO as to save many thousand dollars over
previous expenditures for the same pur-
pose. The indication in the Commit
tees action is that the Ring fnyorites,
well known by their long career in plum
dering the county, are to receive, as
usual, tie preference. While this is sincerely
to be deprecated, such result will not be
entirely without compensation. It will as
sist materially in strengthening the move
ment in Springfield to secure from the Leg
islature the requisite authority to elect an cn~
tirely new batch Of Commissioners this fall
by vote of the county at large. We under
the Board are vociferous1y declaring that
they hare no objection to this project. We
hope they mean it, for in that event they will
organize no opposition to the bill that las
been introduced into the Legislature, and VIC
are quite sure that they can find some field of
usefulness to themselves that will not be SO
costly to the public.

tees Of both parties. Louisiana is the
only state in dispute, and an as
certainment of the actual majority
in Louisiana under free and fair election
would settle. the dispute beyond any ques-
ton. But for this compromise is just as
necessary as for the suggestion of the Senate
Committee, and perhaps the Inter has the
advantage of possible settlement by. Con-
gress itself. At all events, the plan we have
described is SO fair and so conformable to
law that, in the absence Of the Louisiana new
election taking any definite shape, it should
be agreed upon; and oil men who have
proper dread OF the horrors Of civil strife,
aud an intelligent apprehension Of the con-
sequences Of continuing this ugly dispute,
will not hesitate to indorse it.
