Thou- fftgds of workingmen aud girls are out of •mployment, and are rapidly exhausting thuir little savings of the past. Many are already resorting to the pawnbroker, and that reverable cormorant is said to be landing a smaller pittance than ever on articles pledged. “My uncle” is, in tine, preparing for a resumption of specie pay ments, and so tho poverty stricken can't realize as iuuok from their andirons aud old olothes as in days of yore. • RAMPANT SOC IALISM. Doubtless something ought to bo done for tho laboring classes ; but they are act ing most unwisely in permitting theorists to take possession of iheir organization iu a become their spokesmen. At the meeting hold on Thursday night the wild est of doctrines were promulgated. A re organization of society was proposed with no mau to own more than $300,000 worth of property. I abhor negations. Instend of saying what a man shall not have, our social reformers ought to have declared that evory man shall have $300,000 worth of propertv. Then l would bo with them Of course all the socialistic ranting in- dnlged in does not represent tho view's of the workingmen, but it does alarm cupital and adds to the goueral uneasiness. THE DEBT AND TAXATION. / The falling oil of the revouuo is begin ning to attract attention, and is likely to provoke a political light. It is clear that unless the taxes are increased thoro will not be any further reduction of tho Fed eral debt for several years to come. Peo ple who believe that “a national debt is a national blessing'’ are delighted; those who wish the debt speedily paid uro clam oring for measures to contiuuo the reduc tion. J am in sympathy with tho last. Congress blundered when it abolished the income tax. A lax of ton per cout. on nil Incomes in excess of $4,000 per annum would fall on tho rich alone, and this class would not feel.it. Much of the public diiahtisfaction arises from the faot that the rich nro renlly not bearing their pro portionate share of taxation. Men like A. T. Stewart do not pay any taxes. He makes tho men who buy his goodB or feht his buildings pay them. If out of hi Enormous income, and out of the enor- mons incomes of other rich men, a direct revenue was obtained the country would ba benetitted and we would hear less agrarianism nnd communism ranted at pub- Uo meetings. A DRAMATIC CONTROVERSY. A lively controversy is progressing over . Dion Boucicault's new play “Led Astray.’ /The professional aud amateur critics on both sides of the question are pelting Aftch other with paper bullets iu tho livo- : fast style imaginable. Dion, with his usual egotism, smilingly declares that his assailants do not know what they are Wlitiug about, lie pronouucos himself the only English speaking writer of the present cloy capable of producing a legit imate comedy. As I have written you Jftffore, “Led Astray” is a very cleverly -Written comedy, abounding iu line dramatie situations. The charge that it is “morbid' aud “immoral” is grossly un just. It is a graphic delineation of char acter under perhaps uuusual circuiu Stances. 1 doubt if it is at all a common Thing for American or English journalists to try and seduco their neighbors’ wivos. but the thiog does happen sometimes aud, alas! it occasionally meets with fat- greater success than in “Led Astray. But be that as it may, the subject is legitimate one for the stage. Most of tb adverse criticism comes from those “puri- eut prudes,” as Charles Roade dubs them whoso modesty lies altogether in their pen. While tho paper wur is going on the Union Square Theatre is filled nightly with fashionable audiences and “Led Astray" is rapturously applaudod. A SPASM OF VIRTUE. Just at present New York is in her pe riodic spasm of virtue. '1 hero has bee «general laid on the gambling house one of John Motrissey’s being the first “pulled Nothing can bo more ridicu lous than these raids. Their only effect it to close all the gambling dons for u few days, after which they are reopened and arc oontinued in full blast for months undis turbed. Mr. Obailick, one of our Police Commissioners, is tho virtuous mortal who now directs the raid. It is loudly assert ed that a great deal of preference is shown to certain “dons" under the ‘'protection of influential politicims. this time the married about two years, has just discov ered that his wife gave birth to a ohild about six years ago, and while she was almost a child herself. Her father is re ported to be a man of large wealth, and as the threats of the husband to sue fora divorce have ceased it is believed that the old gentleman has added materially to the possessions of his son-in-law. LITERARY NEWS. Iu the literury line thore is nothing new. All the publishing houses unnouuce new books for the holidays, but they are principally compilations, more or less good, but noticeable more on account of their gorgeous bindings than on accouut of their contents. The compensation to writers, excepting those of establised rep utation, has bIho been greatly reduced. An unknown mun, to make a respectable living by his contributions, would have to ork fifteen hours each day. Nearly all tho large houses have reduced their regu lar staff, and nil complains of the dullness of the book trade. By tho way,Boston have received a severe blow in the romovul of tho Atlantic Monthly and Young Folks to this city. Sinlrnn, Armstrong & Co., has purchased tho last named monthly and unother firm the Atlantic. These peri odicals were the pride of the Hub aud their removal cannot fail to agitate tho literary Bostonians. Astca. THE VIRGINIUS. T1IF. PARTICULARS OF HER HER* RENDER. Key West, Dos. 18.—The small steam er Despatch, Capt. W. 1). Whiting, which had been assigned by the United Staton Governinout to the duty of receiving tho surrender,sailed from Key West Sunday ovoning, and uriived iu tho harbor of Bahia Hands tho next morning, where she found the Virginius, in charge of a Spanish sloop of War, LaFavorita, Sen or dc LsCatuara commanding. Shortly after noon the latter came on board tho Despatch, and made arrange ments with Captain Whiting for the aur. render at 9 o’clock Tuesday morning. His visit was returned later in the day by Captain W. Tho intercourse was of the most courteous character. On Tuesday the weather was bright aud clear. The only spectators of tho scene about to take place, were the men on the Despatch and La Favorita, and some ragged and dirty Cubans in fishing smacks, apparently in tent upon fishing there alone. At half past eight the Gig came over from tho Lnfavorita to tho Virginius, con- taiuin oarsmou and a single officer. As tho latter stepped on dock a potty effioor and half a dozon men, who hud stood watch on tho Virginius during the night, wout over to ono side and remained in diugy awaiting orde s. Punctually as the bells on the Despatch struck for 9,and be fore the echo had died away, the Ameri can flag flew to the flagstaff of the Vir. giuius, and at the same moment a boat containing Captain Whitney and Liout. Mariux put away from tho Despatch. As they ascended tho accommodation lad der of tho Virginius a single man on tho deck, who proved to be Seuor De Lu- Camarn, advanced and made a courteous salute. Tho officers then road their respective instructions, aud Capt. Do LaCamara re marked, “That in obedience to the re quirements of his Government, ho had tho honor to turn over tho steamer Viiw ginius to tho American authorities.” Capt. Whiting accepted, and ascertain ing that a receipt would be acceptable, gave one. A word or two more civilly spoken, and the Spaniard stepped over side, signalled his oarsmen, and in ten minutes was again upon the deck of his own vessel, having discharged with be coming dignity the unpleasant duty im posed upon him by his Government. The engines of tho Virginius ore fotiud to be in bad condition, and she had to bo towed to sea by a. despatch boat. Both vessels left tho harbor at 3 o’clock r. M., the Spanish flag being displayed by tho Fort as they passed. At 8 o’clock p. m. they were met by the naval tugboat “For tune." Steam was subsequently got up on the Virginius, and she, with the des patch boat, went to Tortugas, where they met the Ossipce and a coal schooner. Provisions will be transferred from the Ossipee to the Virginius, and wbatevor coal may bo noceasary will be supplied by tho schooner. When supplied with pro visions and coal, the Virginius will proba bly be sent to another port. Washington und Norfolk are mentioned among tho prize officers. Much to the disappoint ment of some of tho officers, tho Federal courts are now anxiously looking out for her arrival. Sho will not enter tho harbor at Koy WASHINGTON. UONGRENNIONAL PROCEEDINGS Washington, December 17.—The Pres ident is gone with Dent’s remains.

Tho salary bill, passed by the House, was referred to Committee on Retrench ment. The Finance Committee wishes to as certain whether the Senators desire an ex pansion of currency or a return to spocio. Mr. Boutwoll remarked that he did not propose to go into ouy extonded remarks at this time. He would state, however, that he favored neither a contraction or expansion. Tho former, bringing the busi- of the country to a stand, would diminish the revenues and render taxation inevita ble. Tho latter would postpone the day of specie payment, aud lie did not think it wise to add to tho return of a currency of the charactor we now possessed. He viowod with nppreheusiou any attempt to sooure au immediate specie payment. Mortou said he rocogoized the fact that wo must come to specie payments at last, but now it was not practicable. Ho fu- vored a slight inflation. Foil firinat ions.

It provides that any proprietor of a public inn, a place of entertainment, a lino of stage coachos, or other moans of transportation, or of cem- otory or bouovolout institutions, or public schools, wholly or partly endorsed for public use, who shall make any distinction as to tho admission or accommodation of any citizen of the United States because of race, or color, or previous condition of servitude, shall, on conviction thereof, be filled not less than one hundred dollars nor more than fivo thousand dollurs for each off ence, and shall be liable to tho citizens thereby injured iu daiuoyea, to be recovered iu un action of deht ; such action to bo prosecuted in any United States Circuit or District Court having jurisdiction.
