NEW YORK LETTER.
By Our Regular Correspondent.
New Yoke, Sept. 1, 1882.
Nobody can tell how many people
leave New York to live in the coun
try during the heated term; but the
number is certainly a very large one.
Yet a look at the streets, the stores
and the shops of the great city con
vmces you that the population has
not been at all diminished, although
the crowd of incoming and outgoing
steamboats and railroad trains every
moming and evening bears witness
to the fact that the regular increase
of temporary residents is very great,
The superintendent of the elevated
railroad says that travel on these
roads falls off so much during the
summer months that he is obliged to
discharge 500 train hands who are
employed during the winter. The
slack time is from the beginning of
June to the middle of September;
but, unless appearances are deceiving
that period will close two weeks ear
lier. Large numbers of people who
1 — «4- in
lia,V r C Ubtil ut nrv
mountains for several months, are
now hurrying back to the city, and
the prospect is that before many days
the hotels will be crowded with west
ern and southern buyers, and that
our merchants in every branch of
trade will have their hands full of
business long before the opening of
t*c autumn season as put down in
l 'manac. That trade will be
ikavy this fall there can be no doubt,
and, according to the best judges,
the winter trade bids fair to be bet
ter than ever before in the history of
blew York.
RAGS.
Rags are not pleasant things to
look at, especially when they compose
the garments in which a fellow
tal is enfolded. His looped and
windowed wretchedness is something
that disturbs the current of emetic
tlrought and diverts it Into diluvian
channels of mental recklessness,
much like an afternoon nightmare.
Yet rags are of great importance in
the world’s economy. The prudent
housewife hoards them for barter pur
j poses, and inexpensive quilts and for
eVen 1 patches. While a needed stitch
’
I has many a time saved countless oth¬
er stitches, how often have we seen
a patch save the price of a pair of
breeches. Then of rags we make
paper; 11 ’ and think of the millions of
j winch , . ,
reams we use every year on to ,
write and rint ' the various combina¬
P
tions of which the alphabet is capa
ble. In New York alone we expend
$30,000,000 alone, every year, for
| rags, the business of one firm in
Worth street reaching $2,000,000.
There are two thousand rag pickers
in this great city, the most of whom
are Italians—the descendants of the
Caesars, the Catalines, the Ciceros
and other great calithumpiatis of
ancient Rome. These industrious
but extremely filthy sons of
noble sires, take nearly
$1,000,000 worth of rags annually
from our gutters and ash-barrels.
They dress in rags; and not putting
too fine a point upon it, they live on
rags. What they pick up they sell at
from one to three cents a pound, and
for the better grade of woolen rags
they receive as high as twenty cents,
While Boston imports a great q lanity
of cotton rags, the bulk of the trade
is in New York; and here we have a
number of heavy capitalists who owe
their success in life to the careful use
of what their less thrifty neighbors ;
have thrown away. One of them is :
building in the upper part of the city
a magnificent*mansion which will cost
near $i6o.oco. It has already been

will uot be so grand as the house that
Vanderbilt; but the owner will have
the satisfaction of knowing that while
his is built on rags, the other was
erected on greenbacks, which are on
y rags in a new form after all.
A WOMAN’S PLUCK AND PERSF.VER
ANCE.
Visitors to New York rarely fail
to spend a few minutes of their time
in Printing House square to admire
the Times Building, to wonder at the
disproportion between the Tribune
building and its insignificant next
neighbor from which the Sun is pub¬
lished, and to cast admiring glances
at the statue of Ben. Franklin. A
hundred yards north east of the stat
ue, the Staats Zeitung is edited and
printed in a building occupying the j
site of what was once the residence of ]
one of New York’s earliest governors I
-Geo. Tryons. This handsome and |
stately structure, built of white gran
ite, is a monument to the courage,
common sense and indomitable per
severance of a German lady, whose j
husband died several years ago, j
leaving her a little newspaper and a
family of six children. She was of
fered $500 for the paper but would
no t sell. The editor who had been
;,i her husband’s employ, agreed to
continue at his post, and as he was

what is $90,000 but a handful of fil

remember that money is a fund.

The Fence Daw.
Atlanta National.
Two districts in this county voted
recently on the fence question, and
by decided majorities abolished fen¬
ces. The stock law goes fully into
effect in this city on November 1st.
One other district has filed its peti¬
tion, and elections are to be held in
^ three other districts on this queS
,» j . Will ...
LLKJLL VMi CiiC instant. It
doubt ; ess be decided in each case
that f ence s shall be abolished, or that
eac ] 1 man s [ ia n pasture his own stock.
I( . ig stran g e that this law has not
been enforced long before this, in
this countyj am l it would have been -
but for the fact that the impression
has pre vailed that the stock law was
un j ust to the poor man, and hence
ad lke p QO rer people have violently
op p OSed ; t Th e ) a w, instead of be
.
jng unjust to tJie poor man, is highly
beneficial to him. It enables him to
buy j and and cultivate it without the
expense of fencing it, which usually
costs more than the land itself, It
has been claimed to be injurious to
the tenant class in that it would pre
vent them from keeping a milch cow,
for want of a nasture. This is
ted by the law, itself, wherein it is
provided that the landlord shall furn,
ish pasturage to each tenant for a
cow and calf. Every consideration
of economy, fairness and right argues
in favor of the passage of the stock law;
while no good reason can be given
why stock should be allowed to run
at large. It is just as reasonable to
permit one man to enter the smoke¬
house of another and carry away his
provisions at his pleasure as to allow
one man’s cattle to pasture on anoth¬
er man’s land without just compen¬
sation.
Another fact in this connection is
worth considering. With the possi
ble exception of those farms wherein
blooded stock is raised, there is not a
farm in the county on which the
stock is worth the cost of the fencing,
and on a great majority of them not
even the cost of yearly repairs to the
fences. And it is too plain to be
gainsaid that if the work done by the
farm laborers of the county repairing
fences each year were devoted tooth
er objects, it would produce more in
value than all the stock owned by
those laborers.
There is no class in the commu¬
nity whose intererests will not be bet¬
ter subserved by the stock law than
by the present system.

STATE ROAD LEASE.
Judge Willis Decides the Bond
Insufficient and the
Sureties Free,
The preliminary legal skirmish over
the great State Road lease that has
been in progress for the last few days
before Judge Willis, sitting in cham¬
bers at the state library, closed this
morning. Ex-Governor Smith closed
the arguments for the lessees, con¬
cluding about 11 o’clock. His prin¬
cipal points were that it was too late
now to declare the $8,000,000 bond
void ; that the original company was
liable, as the corporate body was not
formed until after the bond had been
accepted; that if, as held by the state,
the alleged transfer could not have
been legally made, it was not legal;
that the present preceedings were an
effort to replace the road within the
pale of politics, whence it was happily
removed twelve years since; that the
proceedings were illegal since not
commenced by order of the governor
as provided by law; that the statute
of limitation barred them as it would
the sureties if they attempted to
avoid their liability.
the decision of judge wii.lis.
Judge Willis, in deciding the case,
said it came up on a demurrer to the
information fild by the attorney-gen
eral in which he sought to forfeit the
lease of this, the Western and Atlan¬
tic railroad company.
He held that sufficient allegations
had bean made in the information to
authorise tv forfeiture of the charter in
law.

He did not think any act of the
state subsequent to the making of
the lease would estop it from requir¬
ing a good bond. The act providing
for the lease authorized the state to
come in at any time and ask forsuffi
cient bond, not necessarily on account
of the subsequent insolvency of the
sureties.

ernor had unwittingly taken a fnarried
woman on the bond. The governor
did not act in this matter by virtue
of his office, but by authority conferr¬
ed upon him by the act and as an
agent of the people.
The case will now proceed to- bef
tried at the September term of the
superior court.
The Sprague mansion atCanonchet
Rhode Island, is in a state of seige.
The Supreme court of state recently
ordered the house to be sold, which
was accordingly done, and the pur
chasing party drove up recently to
take possession of the property. The
party found the gate chained and
three men standing over it, but the
bridge, to destroy which an attempt
was made on the day of sale, had
been repaired. Just bey or. d the
brfdge, partly concealed bheind two
willow trees, stood horsemen armed
with bludgeons and apparently pre¬
pared to dispute the passage to all
comers. A flag, supposed to be sig¬
nal, was floating from the main tower
of the building, and a man with a
musket was seen pacing across the
flat top of the tower. Another man
similarly armed patrolled the lawn in
front of themansion,and the occasional
rattle of musketry was heard in the
grounds. The guards say the prop
erty is defended with muskets, gat
ling guns, and the ex-Governor will
not give it up without a struggle,
