The names, callings and residences of the iile being known, an avenue of usefuiness is opened to the classes capable of extend. ing help, and a desirable prospect is af. forded the needy. . The efforts, some of them il}â€"judged and pernicious, made. by a section of the people out of work, to compel the authorities to provide them with employment, have failed, as could not otherwise have been expected. . The number of persons having confidence in intimidation and violence, if necessary to the attainment of their ends, may be large, but the streagth of the orderiy class is greater, and no element possessing any interest in the maintenance of the insti~ tutions and arrangements of society, will be content to see. their fellows unposâ€" sessed of a stake in it, upturning de«] fences . of order, and appropriating the goods of the better behaved or more fortunate. Nor has the fuct osâ€" caped observation that the noisiest and most undeserving of the lower class agiâ€" tators have been for the most part indiâ€" viduals who had no good title to the apâ€" pellation of "workingmen." (They have been proved demagogues, more in the habit of using their tongues than their hands, and always ready to mar if they did not makeâ€"â€"to stir up socialistic pas» sions instead_ of inculcating a epirit of: thrift and industry. The present trying season has taught New Yorkers other in-‘ teresting lesson», including the temper of the majority of the real working classes. It can not be called either unressonable, or dangerous, when we consider the proâ€" vocation and suftering endured. Fast as is our age, impatient the popular spirit in presence oftrial, and ready as the mulâ€" titude sre supposed to be to avail them~ selves of the most convenient means of redress, the hungry thousands of the great semiâ€"foreign Democratic City of New York, have conducted themselves withan amount of patience, selfâ€"control, and respect for law highly to their credit. . Of sourse there have been nonsensical grum< blings and unressonable demands from this or that quarter, but the great mas jority have .exhibited .all the sense and resignation that could reasonably have been expected. . Perhaps in no portion of the Republic could such a.social trial or experimenthave been more desirable, had it been W apart from the hardships inevitable. New York has always been pointed at as the dark spot socially and politically of the States, the befe TH» DISTRESS IN NEW YOKK. noire of Republicaniam. â€" Its foreign population is numbered by hundreds of thousands, while standing out, as it does, the great mart of North America, and re. ceptacle of oldâ€"world emigration, it could not but be afflicted and embarrased by a multitude of the worst characters of every TUESD\Y, FEBRUARY 3. 1874 1t presents, moreover, all the weak: | THE CONTEST CA Railway with 8 H csey /<f : *he .

The usual set of questions has been forced into controversial promi« nene>, including the rights of the worthy to the means of living, the responsibilities | and duties of capital, and the obligations 'oflhe municipal authorities towards the | citizons. All sorts of theories have thus | fouad vent, although it would not be easy 'h-y any new ones have. been struck | out, or any old definitely established in | the general estimation. . But it is at leaat { now olearly proved, despite ocsasional popular outbreaks, for which sll the mis chisvous incitements possible were pre~ pared by the depraved, that the mase of the people have not broken free from those oldâ€"fishioned, laudable restraints which have hitherto preserved the strucâ€" ture of society, utilised its resources and ensured its health and progress, The so9cial virtues arse not yet dead even in the suspected localities, while all reasonable toleration is extended the theorists and doctrinzires, however, hareâ€"brained. The people still ca2 exhibit calmmness, endus rance, and strong sense, under the severest temptstions, and thus prove their claim to the respect of their â€"more fortunate fellows in the upper classes, ani to all those chinges and experiments which contain any promise of advantage or social amelioration. â€" > Persorac.â€" Mr. Kydd, of the Governor General‘s Department, left yeslerday with His Excellency, for Montreal, in view of the Government‘s policy of new and improved public works, it is pleaâ€" sant to fiad that, as regards our canils, we are still ahead of our American neighbors. The State of New York is ever endeayourâ€" ing to enlarge the Erie, and make it superior to the Welland, but so far it is much inferior, and ‘the tolls on it are conâ€" siderably higher than those of our Canaâ€" dian route. A recent leiter in the Monâ€" weal Gazefte brings out the advantages of Canada in this respect very clearly. The letter, written by Mr. J. M. Vernom, thus conciudes : 7 The present Welland Canal is capable of passing down through it, (allowing for all ‘detention), 12,500 tons per day, and mes es and opportunities for the viciou, ; THE of large, overcrowded capitals, while povâ€" erty i; one of its dangerous features, The Here, then, were the necessary conditions ada 1 for the thorough test of the popular di« position, and for the tmal of the influence dinkt upon the least iatelligent and most afflic.

With tha improvements yet to be made of these artifisial water ways, we need not lear the competition of the United States The Congress of the United States has been engaged with the problem of the curâ€" rency and specie pryments {or a long timé, but as yet no solution has been reached. The greatest difference of opinion prevails as to the proper remedy for the evils of an inflated, irredeemable paper currency, and all the discussion that takes place ‘brings members no nearer a satisfactory .con« elusion,. . Theâ€"latest approach to a measâ€" ure with any appearance of promise is one recently discussed in the Senate, proposâ€" ng, among other things, to remove the restridtions on banking, making it free, and to withdraw the present issue of greenâ€" backs, or national currency from and, after July next at the rate of os.oao:ho a month,. the Government substituting therefor & bond, redeemable in two ‘ years in _ specie, The in two ‘ years in _ specie, The critics of the Opposition condemu â€" this feature as a proposal for the nation to compound with its creditors at the rate of 89 per cent., the interest to this amount being saved. The subject is a difficult one. for Congress on account of the different thoories there prevalent. as well .as the conflict of interests always observable. More satisfaction seems to be folt with the proposal to relieve the banks of the obli» gation to retain a consicerable proportion of the amount of their issues, as security for them exacting only the rétention of securities equal to the amount of their deâ€" posites. ‘The banks being at present unâ€" nble to redeem their notes, 1t is thought unnecessary to maintain the fiction of their solvency, or capacity to do what such ins stitutions generally accomplish, and that trade would benelit by the employment of } the‘securities now locked up, theoretically fcr the public protection.
