OUR XEW YORK letter; Xkw York, Dec. 30, 1870. BKIiCHI AND- TIIK HORSES. Bergh. the head of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, got af ter the horse car people the night before Christmas in a most delightful way. The cars were unusually crowded, and a heavy snow was falling. The car com panic?, who arc managed by the kind of men who look upon a man and a horse as so much iu i.e utuiuieu in inn shortest space ot time, were dragging the cars ttp town, loaded to twice their capacity, with the two horses umal to good weather. It wa3 one strain from the Post Office tip town, aud the jaded steeds only got on by pulling their shoulders out of joint. At 23d street, Bergh's officers stopped every one of the airs, and compelled them to stay there till additional teams could be put on. There was no help for it, and over three hundred car3,nll loaded to their utmost with hungry men, were held there an hour, till tho teams necessary to drawing them with some degree of comfort could be brought and attached. The passengers were as wroth as the companies, but Mr. Bergh in formed them that he did it for the purpose of awakening them to the necessity of tak ing some interest in humanitarian move ments. While lie is about it ho ought to do something for the drivers, who are as Daaiy overworked as the horses, and not half as well fed. The car driver in Xe'w York is compelled to work from fourteen to sixteen hours a day, in freezing weather. rain, snow or sleet, night and day, for wiucn they receive the munificent sum of $1.63! They are compelled to stand on their ffcet all the time, and then there is scarcely one of them who has not varicose veins, or some ther disease brought on by exposure, equally serious ; and as severe as is the labor, and hard as the work is, there are thousands applying for the positions, ior every ,piace mac is vacant. - It ts a rather good prool of honesty that they work at all at such wages, rather than 6teal. But while the animals are taken care of, there has been as yet no society organized to prevent cruelty to men. The streetcars are so many mines of wealth, anchthe com panies are enormously rich ; but their em ployees are naraer worked aud less paid than any in the city. . niGH LIVING AND DEFALCATIONS. The frequency of defalcations by young men holding confidential positions ex cites a great deal of remark. Every day some young man gets away to Europe in a mysterious way; his books are exam ined and he is found to be a defaulter to a large amount. Then his employers inves tigate, and it is found that he has been liv ing fast, that he-has been "supporting a woman," and that his face is well known In the gambling hells, lr he is smart, he has stolen and .saved enough to be able to compromise with them ; but as a rile he has squandered all that he has stolen, and has fled without money or character. I knew one case of a young man who belong ed to two clubs.his living at which cost hlni not less than $10,000 a year, who kept a mistress who rcmiired a .carriair for 1iji own use, and whose mid-day lunches never cost bitn less than 5. At tho clubs nn town he was sun nosed to he a mrn.. i the house and his extravagant Hviti" was not considered singular.. It turned" out, however, that be was merely a clerk on a salary $1,800 a year, and that his defalca tions in two years footed up over $00,000 1 And he got away to Australia with noth injr his mother sold stock tt nwf Vn V.. hundreds that were necessary to take hirn out of Xew York. Every cent bf it has gone on his vices. His mistress sold his carri.icres, horses and iewBlrr ately proceeded to find another victim to rnitn Another clerk, at a salary of $1,500. embezzled in about the same time $00,000. which he spent in the saniA -n t i, - singular thing that tho business of a errat house should be managed so as to niakn such thefts possible, but it is so; and Jhey occur almost daily. : , . , , nef POLITICAL. - ,v The holidays hav tul-n h. ...t-i. SAIXT 1 the politicians, and there ia ac7bi,,sTew NO. 17, on the chess-board. The democracy find it hard work to keep up an excitement, and they have about abandoned the idea of Interposing any objection to the Inaugura tion of the legally elected President. Hayes. They have quit drinking blood, and as an easy way of letting themselves down, talk mysteriously of an appeal to the " courts.' Nothing will como of it. -They have lost the game, and have made up their minds to grin and bear it. The men of money will not respond to the Invitation to the tented flekf, for fighting means money, and tho merchant who has a regular busl- . ness has not the interest in putting Brown, the wurd-striker, into n sinecure io the custom-house that Brown has. ' Conse quently he don't want to go to 'war for Brown's sake, Mid Brown has not been able to stir him up to it as yet. Tbe edi torial mill is still Sending out Its .ready made intellect, but there are evidences that it will close next week. Uncle Samuel has bled many millions and lie has got tired of it, especially as he is certain to be beaten In the end. and tho effect of tbe election of Hayes is showing itself mora and-more. Gold is down to 7L making it possible to resume specie payment at any time. -While business is dull, everybody feels hopeful that the spring will being a revival, and business men are content to wait till the matter is settled beyoud a peradventnre. j. . . business. '.. New' York has received another off-set. The grain trade has been gradually leaving the city for Boston, Philadelphia and Bal timore. Vanderbilt made an effort to get it back by cutting freight in favor of New . York, but the other lines have finally beaten him. The Baltimore and Ohio brought him down, and the New York Central lias in the new arrangement raised its rates, so that Baltimore has a very heavy per cent, over New York, i The wholesale merchants are feeling ugly over this sur render of Vanderbilt, for goods are very largely bought where grain Is sold. All this is bad lor New York, but it is well for tho intet ior cities and the producer. There are no facilities in New York for handling grain, and it ccVts altogether too much to get it through the city and on shipboard. Chicago. Toledo and Milwaukee are ship ping heavily to Baltimore, and the dry goods and grocery trade is following it. The elder Vnnderbtlt is still on his bed. and his son William does not seem to have the acuteucss ot his father: At all events Garrett has beaten him badly, and New York sufferers. The Vanderbllts control too much railroad. Mr. Garrett works his road in the Interest of his city, and its man agement has always been liberal. Between the Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsyl vania Central. New York bu come to grief. Take this diversion and the fact that the lake cities are shipping direct to Montreal and supplying New England direct, and it U easy enough to see that the prestige of Xew-York as a commercial -centre is in danger. , ' FIRE ESCAPES. . " Tlie Brooklyn horror has served one good purpose. Th? authorities have insoected every tlieatre in the city, and are compel ling me raantigers ro make tlietn sale, ruoy are cutting doors for escape, ami are laying water pipes in every direction, so as to How tho it ige in event of fire. One theatre was compelled to suspend till this was done, and the people who crowd them breathe more freely. The churches are to be overhauled next, and thin the factories and large buildings in which people work six stories np are to be looked after. The effect of it all is, to make life tolerably safe from fire. There are buildings in the low er wards, which shelter nightly from two to three thousand people, six stories in height tviftt riT r .... c-... t ...... n - 1 . 1 ...... .....j . cMiiin emu iiiui. h very narrow one. In the event of a fire' in one of them, the unfortunate occupants would burn like rats, for escape would be virtual. ly impossible. AH of these are to be gone through with, and the owners compelled to make thcin safe. ' . TEMPEItANCE. '' ' Five thousand ladies of the "first famU lies" signed an agreement not to offer In toxicating liquors to their callers on New Year's day. The big temperance demon strations will commence immediately after New Year's, and will be kept np just as long ns any feeling is shown. .Boston and Philadelphia are to join with them, work ing the same way, the speakers changing about so as to always have something new and attractive. It is hoped by the origina tors to get np a feeling that will count on the rum mills, especially tbe fashionable ones. It Is a business men's movement, and has the support of the heaviest mer chants in the city.- i - The weather is cold and delightful, roach to the joy of the Ice companies and the liv ery stable people.
