Mawr A Citizen Struck Dead in the Pablic Street— Whe Perpetrators Allowed to go st Large— Covousr’s inquest upon the Body of Deceas- ed—Ne Clue to the Murderers, About 10 o’clock on Saterdey sight a daring murder was perpetrated in Tenth avenue, wear the corner of Twen- (y-firet strest. The victim, Mr. Joba Swenson, of No. 310 ‘Went Tvesty-seventh street, was in company with hie ‘wide when the assassin almed the deadly blow. fhe cir. @umstances attending tse horrible tale are as follows :— ‘Mr. and Mrs Swenson were returning to their home in ‘Twenty seventh street, when they were met at ihe @erner of Twonty first street and Tenth avenue by @ree young fellows who were going in am opposite @rection. One of them stepped up to Mr. Swenson ‘without tbe alighiest provocation, and elbowed him off the gitewalk. Mr. Swenson said something to his wife about the conduct of the rowdy, when the latter construed the Jnnguoge as applied to him, and, in au insulting one, asked ‘Mz Seenson what he was saying. The latter, becoming somewhat vexed at the tmpertinence of the felow, replied tm a sharp tone, ‘‘ Whai’s that to you?” Thereapon the vowdy made a rpring at him, and stabbed him in the breas, ‘with a dirs or clasp knifo, inflicting a ghastly wound, from ‘which the >lood flowed im torrents, The wounded man twted to grapple with his asrailant, but the laiter eluded hie grasp, ond, in company with his companicne, started offat ‘© quick pace down towards the North river. The ories of Mrs 8 af the horrible situation of ber husband soon drew a large number of ciilzens to the spot, who followed the direction Iaben by the fugitives, but could find no trace of thom whatever. fhe wounded man lived but afew moments afier receiv: tg We fatal blow. He just had time to tell bis wifs that be had been murdered, whea he sank exhausied u on ino sidewals, and died, aiormation was immediately conveyed to the Sixteenth Ward Biation House, when s posse of men were deialios to soour the entire werd in search of the sssassin. after long and weary search the policemen were obliged to Felingnish their efforts and return to the station hase. The murder cas witacased by a lad named David Soot, who bad also been attacked « few moments previously by the very man who slmed ibe deadly blow at Mr, Qwenton's beurt He stated that tho follow drow & knife upon him aad threatened to kill him. Tae Aasatinst war, to al! apponrance, laboriag vuder the eMeels of intoxicating liquor at the lime of the oosur- Fence; but ube successftl manner in which he effected his @roapo by fight, proves clearly that he oouid no be very mnoh intoxicated, aud was not wholly deprivetof his Penconing facuitiee when he made the unprovoked ani brutal assault apon the deceased. The body of Mr. Swenson was thon oomveyed to his Inte residence, there to awai: the action of tae Uoroner.

HE EP¥Ecr OF THB REVCLSION IN THE FASHIONA: BLE WORLD—THE DEPRESSION AMONG THA MILLI- WPRS, DRROSMARERS AND JBWRLLERS—MABRI AGES POSTPONED, BTC. No clase of persons hae suffered more severely from the prerent revu'sion than those engaged in supplying the de mands of fashionable society. Amorg them business is af stand still, and hundreds are out of employment. ‘There is no work on hand, and no work abead; mo orders core in; no customers throng the doors, and all the plea. sant bustle ond healthy activity of business has subsided. The werk rooms attached to these estsblishments— but = few short weeks ago crowded with busy empty ; the nimble fiogers are fle, and ‘he spectacle of contented indus try is succeeded by that of Ivbor paralyzed and enterprise suspended; and this happening at a season waen, in or- dinary times, business is best—shen workers and employ- ere expect compensation for the dull summer that dissi- pated the moans of she one and orivpled the resourses of the other. Bat, when in addition to this the dreary winter is uncheered by the prospect of continual employ- ment, we can iaegine what effect this crushing revulsioa has had upon this class of our industrial community. Tho yemly imoreasing demand for every article of indies’ wear has bad the effect of imorearing the number of producers, and Consequently the | disa:ter ts move widejpread than it would have been at any previous period. Another thing that makes it more deeply elt is that unusual preparations have been ms‘e for the coming season; goods have been manu- factared ahead of order, and importations have been Deyond all precedent, In fact, the:market Is flooded with imported goods, counters groan beneath the weight of foreign fabrics. which must be sold at ruinous low prices, or beld over until) ihe storm has passed. In either case the loss rust be immense. The orisie happoning at this Junctare, when the outlays had been all made and the ro- tares had not yot setin, left that portion of the business commun'ty uf which we speak upab‘e to struggle through, and the recult was an a’most universal suspension of busi- nes. True, dome esiadliehments soem to have escaped the peounlary, epidemio and expect to be able to retain thet: fall com,lemens of bands on three fourths, or it may be the whole time, but these are few in number. ‘This revulsion has mado one fact clear beyond doubt— that millinors’, dressmakers’ and re ail dry goods estab- Uehments, are following in the wake of wholesale dealers, and allowing the unhealiby credit sye- tem to get ® footing among them. There is scarcely by « lady a» town tha) bas not ber book in some Broad- way citaiishment, and a moment's reflection will convince any one that this tempting Opportunity for extravagatde is not suffered to remain unimproved. A passbook is more easily filled than @ portemonnaie, and to get goois for a sim le acknowledgment is agreeable enough. Bat there is a difference between getting and paying, and no man, or woman either, who was reluctant to pay for an sriicle whea cew became anxious to doso when it was (brown aide and discarded. Therefore we thiak it proba- Die shat it Is not good for the peller in the end, for, if troublesome, be may ieee @ oustomer aad if not, be may lose his money. But of the effect of this system om the buyer, there can be but one opinion. Looked at in every way, viewed from every side, it is Injurtous and demoralizing. Ni fosters, perhaps we sboald say creates, a spirit of thoughtlesmness, a habit of ex- travagance, @ reckless indifference to expense; and, worse than all, a disregard of obligations that must even" tually irjure the moral perceptions and cosfuse the ideas of right and wrong. If the credit system, as tome pretend, is cesontial to wholesale dealings, it should be restricted to that, and mot tolerated in the retail trade If ladies want dress let them pay for it, or wait until they oan; and if sellers ‘want cu‘iomers, ket the m remomber that customers wiib- cut cash may empty their shelves, but will never fill their PO kete—then, perheps, we may retarn to [first prin spies and be guided by the simple practical rule of “pay as you go.” Then from the ‘nettle danger we will pluck the flower safcty,”’ and thee will the storm which has strewn the ocean of commerce with wreoks and forced ine strongest ships to lower their sails be productive of un. equivecs! good. It te quite fashionable now togay that the extravagance of the ladies has caused the present revulsion, bul we think the accasaiion anjast and ungemerous. That they were extravagant we do not doubt, but neitier do we doubt that ihey were extravagant in good faith, for they believed that the luxury by which they were surrounded was evidence of tena fide wealth.
