WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tue Ties 1x New Yorx.—Clouds porten- tious are gathering in, thicker and darker mo- mentarily, around the condition no less of those who can find no work and are without the means of buying bread, in New York, than those who have bread and all the comforts and luxuries of life to spare. While gaunt hunger impels the first-mentioned class to deeds of vio- lence, the timidity incident to possessions shakes the nerves of the class we mention last above. The newspapers of New York are already busi- ly and earnestfy discussing the chances of bread riots to come off there with perhaps the first freeze of winter. The unemployed and hungry are holding open air meetings, demanding what they call their rights—thank God, no native- born Americans are yet of the same opinion as to their rights, because te be of that opinion argues one to hold to the doctrines of Danton, Robespiere, and the quite as dangerous Social- ists of later times. They talk in their fierce appeals of ‘governing classes’’ in this country, which proves that they are persons wholly in- eapable of appreciating the theory and prac- tice of our Government. That they are among us, but not of us. The trouble lies, in the main, in the inter- minable propensity of the improvident to insist on continuing to work in large cities like New York. instead of locating themselves in rural districts where less work will produce more wages, and where all surroundings induce one not to spend all one makes, asin New York city, but to saveas much asone can, asin every rurs! district in the United States. Tentoone nine-tenths of the present hungry crowd in New York at this moment are improvident people, who, had they been working in villages instead of insuch a seductive city, would have had by them the means of living comfortably throughout the winter without either begging or threatening to procure bread, without the loss of self-respect. or virtually proclaiming themselves enemies to society. That the reader may comprehend the state of things among them, we quote first the Courier and Enquirer of the day before yesterday, and, next, the New York correspondence of the Pennsylvanian : EVENING STAR.
