EFeeBe5BBBBHeeHeHHSiHHH*eei ORALS or NEW TORI. The financial trouble* of New York have devel op-J, a wretched rendition of private and pabtio in morals. Ostentatious living haa not been altogether |h on the frui's of honest industry or soccceefnl busi- tie * nese enterprise. Peculation on publie and private in funds iu too many instances lent the means to bob si ster fashionable notoriety, and extravagance could of only bo continued by fresh crimes against honeety, th with fearful risk of expiating guilt in loathaome w prisons nnd voided respectability. vn J We linvc a case before us in the first Teller of the 8[ Grocer'# Hank?the son of ex-mnyor Clark-?whose th salary of $2,000 was wholly inadequate to support the f st mode of life inseparable from respectable standing in that * <>'; and rntber than forfeit social ^ standing, ho plunged his hands into the funds of the bank, nnd appropriated to his own use nearly $70,000. Nor is this n solitary instance. The correspondent of the National Intelligencer says that . investigation into the management ol some of the I banks in the process of 1 quljation has developed L. I gross mismanagement and fraud, well calculated to H bring discredit upon the whole process of banking. Hut startling immomiity is not confined to busi, iuss trannctions. The papers of llint city teem with fill l crimes against persons and property through all the t catalogue of h gal definition?murder, robbery, ar- j] son, &e. It is perfectly appalling. We lenr very . much that tho end is not yet. Driven to despera- jj, a tiou by sulft ring and inability to procure work, me, cliatiics and laborers are showing discontented die- q , positions, and aru clamoring lor incans to avoid star- ^ ration. Already meetings hare been held in New York of workiugmen, whose inflammatory and og grarmn narangucs Dodo insecurity to property, r " Work or dentil" is the motto flaunting on banner*; and the iiio?t impudent demands are made upon the w ? authorities for work to feed starving wives and chil- (n; dren. Tlic poor are beginning to see that soulless of > pee illation is thu cause of their sufferings, ^ ; and either relief must be found by cutting out pub- q I lie work, or privileged wealth will be privileged no ^ longer. Law will give place to might, and private so- ^ curity in person and property will bo at suffciance ^ of anarchists. Tho North is passing through a four- f ful ci isis, which conveys n solemn admonition for the s CI future. Is it not the fruit of that practical iuf'xlclity t which so many have been industriously distemi- (| nating? Let the wise nnd prudent see to it that higher lawism, in all its phrases, is Iruwnod upon, ??r the reaction may be fearful u|R>n themselves in the future, even i( they esoape the imminent perils '' ol the present.
