NEW fonK, June oG.-The Russian Jews Y
at this port would seem TO have worn out
their welcome. Their; co-religionists here
and IN Europe have been anxious 10 assist
them, but the complaint is now that these, I
exiles from Poland are not only devoid 81 /
gratitude, but will not even attempt tos
help themselves. Said IN official protimrin.t 4
emily connected with the Jewish Aid So
ciety, this afternoon :ss..It is difficult TO-
tell what can be done with the \ sixteen
hundred men, women and children now
practically upon our hands. Their cha nc
tcrs are daily becoming \ more widely
known, and after a while it Will be: i'm
possible to procure any. employment io3ir3sE
them. Even now. the places we obtained
for them are abandoned after a day or two. Z
when these fellows return to us with iii !
sorts Of excuses, and throw Themselves
upon the charity Of the society and the
community at large. Y rs ls'5ssGE i7s
At Castle Garden, this morning, some
five hundred OF these people assembled IN \
the hospital ward to be fed. Z. TIE scene "a !
hardly describablc. They shouted gesti.S1
culated, pushed against each other. and
created such an uproar that Supernten.Ss
dent Jackson sent down word that the Aid i
society would have to find other ouarters5
for their protegcs. The men look rs though
they had m uncon1uerable I; preiulice5 II
against soap, and water. Twice a day.s!
morning and night, they. receive rations.@
which consist OF pound Of bread, half 5aS
pound Of meat, and a pint OF coffee. Thew
DO not work, and pass their time baskinrg
ia the sun, smoking tobacco, and antiemas8
tizins the people who brought then, to this (
country. There are large numbers Of ;theN
same class Of people still en- route and
what to do with them when they arrive at
the garden is q problem which neither theS
commissioners nor the aid society can inst I
now sec how to solve. Il :i33=
It must not be inferred, however. That
the Jewish religious societies are going Ia
stand by and, under any circumstances,f q
see these people turned adrift. Two circu:
lars have JUST been issued, one by tho
Young Mems Hebrew Association the
other by the Hebrew Emigrant Aid Society,"
both Of which renew urgent appeals fors I
immediate contributions to enable them to-
meet the emergency The former says 81
Immediate help is needed. There are
nearly two thousand OF these .un happy emi-S
grants in our midst, homeless, penniless,s
looking sadly: to their well to do brethren
to aid them in their; distress. These
people are at our doors, and must be
maintained. However plentiful may have
been your subscriptions hitherto, more
must be given to keep these poor exiles&
from seeking help in ways and places that
will bring discredit upon. Israel. y : Tie lat-R
ter is even more emphatic. It SAYS :aNoIss y
greater cxigency, no more, fearful responsi.S II
hiiity, has ever presented itself to the Jews
Of New York. The occasion has !. arisen v
when We are called upon to give, not only
what We can reasonably afford, but Ito y
make actual sacrifice in behalf OF these our
brethren. In the name OF humanity. IN
the namcof Judaism, for the sake oi maiu-ia
tanning the position which the Jews Of 81
Of New York now occupy. for tho sake tof n
nnseltishness rs well as selshly,we appeal IA
we beg, we implore you to subscribe 10 the +
utmost Of your ability to tho funds of the
Hebrew Etngrant Society.nS 's5H9f Il
