Drsrnnss.
New You, April 18th, 1874..
amen-name. ,
In a great city it is safe to say that nearly
one-half of the population have no gOOd
reason for livinr. The number of rumsell-
ers, gamblers, thieves, confidence men. and
people who steal ii living, would, if put to-
gether, make any army large enough to
have crushed the rebellion. I now speak
of the male ulcers on the body-politic—
there are at least 30,000 women in the city
who live by equally disreputable means.
The meanest and most despicable of all
the scoundrels who infest the city, next to
the politicians, are the
PROFESSIONAL BLACK-MAILERS,
and a few paragraphs devoted to them may
be of interest to your readers. The black-
mailcr is a man, or woman, who possesses
some knowledge of another person which
will not bear open day-light, and then ex-
torts money as the price of Silence. For
instance, the professional black-mailer goes
night after night to a fashionable gambling
house, and watches closely the'players.
They are admirable judges of human na-
ture, indeed, this is the first qualification of
the business. He fixes upon some nervous
pla er who is losin heavily, and notes to a
do] ar his losses. hen the player finally
quits and leaves the house, he does not
know that he is being followed, and that
the street and number of his rcs1dcnce is
taken, nor does he know that a watchful
eye follows him the next morning to the
bank or. office where he is employed, and
that by noon of that day every fact in his
history is in the possession of a cool, calcu-
lating, merciless scoundrel, who, by know-
ing what he is, has a hold on him that will
ruin him. We will assume. that the victim
observed in the gambling house is the cash-
ier of a bank._ From the moment the
black-mailer spotted him he is not out of
his sight for an instant. His losses are
carefully noted, his goings to and fro are
observed and noted, and every incident that
at all compromises him is set down w1th
circumstance. For,be it known, he who
gambles has other vices—in fact the most
of the raw men at gambling tables are those
who have squandered money not IIJCII'S.0II
unlawful pleasures, and they fly to gaming
in tbe hope of getting even by a stroke of
- luc .
When the black-mailer has got “points"
enough on his man-that is when he has
facts concerning him, which, if made known
to his employers or family, would ruin him
—hc moves on him. 'He takes him aside
and tells him boldly what he knows of him,
and fixes the sum at which silence can be
assured. ‘The victim puts on a bold front
and defies him. Mr. Black-mailer expects
this, and it doesn’t move him. , He pulls out
of his breast pocket 14 little book, and he
reads to him that on such a night he lost
$2,000 at John Chamberlin’s; on such an-
other night $1,000; on another night hc_was
at an assignatiou house in 22d street w1th_a
woman, closely veiled, but whose name Is
So-nnd-So; that, moreover, he pays the
board of Miss So-and-So at such a street
and number; in short, the black-mailer reads
his victim a complete history of his secret
life, so methodically arranged as to make
denial useless. And after this no denial-1s
made. He wilts and gladly pays the price
demanded.
But it does not end here. Having once
paid he belongs soul and body to his tor--
mentor. The threats of exposure, so efiica‘
cious the first time, are equally so the sec-
ond. He come again and a sin, and the
dupe becomes desperate and ics the coun-
try.
Frequently they do not wait for the com-
mission ofu crime. They select a timid,
nervous man and threaten to accuse him of
crime if he don’t ceme down handsomely,
and in many cases they succeed, the victim
submitting to be bled rather than to be ac-
cused. One of these gentlemen met his
match the other day. A blhck-mailer, a
graduate of the State Prison, accused a
clerk of stealipg from his employer, and
proposed to “hush the thing” for $200. The
intended victim gave a seeming assent, but
privately made arrangements with the po-'
lice and had his black~niailer arrested with
the money in his hand. It was fortunate
that the clerk had pluck. Had .he yielded
to the first demand for money, he would
have found himself compelled, in time, to
pay over to his accuser every dollar that
he could save or steal.
women
make the best game for these fellows If a
married woman indulges in what, to her,
seemed to be an “innocent flirtation," and
happens to fall into the hands of one of
these follows, it costs her dear. So valuable
is her reputation that rather than have it
called in question, she will do anything.
She pays the scoundrcl money, silverware,
jewelry, anything, as the price of silence,
for they imagine a thousand evils where
none could possibly occur. Next to women,
CLEuoruuN
are the favorite victims of black~mailers,
for their position is so peculiar and uncer-
tain. In their cases the services of some
fair and abandoned women are brought into
requisition. Some years ago a distinguished
preacher in a Broadway church resigned
his charge and left the city broken hearted,
because he had permitted himself to be
plundered by a band of men and women
who had combined to place him in a false
position. His friends felt that he was inno.
cent, and yet they advised him to go, be-
cause his weakness had put him under sus-
picion. He had been sent for to console a
dying woman, and he went and was ushered
into her room and left alone with her, and
was then surprised by a confederate who
claimed to be the woman’s husband. The
house was a regultr trap, the woman a
prostitute, and the two were black-mailers,
but it was enough. He was weak enough
to pay once, and then it was all over with
him. Paying was an evidence of guilt, and,
innocent of guilt as a child, he was com-
pelled to resign his charge and leave the
city. But it did not end with this.
persecutors followed him to his new home,
and extorted more money; for every step he
took to relieve himself only put him more
securely in their hands. He was compelled,
finally, to leave the ministry. . tthey do
not always succeed so well. long ago
another clergyman approdchedinthe same
way, laid a very neat trap saunas his ae-
cnscrs brought to shame. ‘ He thus saved
himself a life-long trouble.
The only way is to defy them and utterly
refuse to pay. That ends it. They have
no reason to divulge what they know; in
fact, when their secret is made common
property,it ceases to have any value to
them. They always leave such people
alone.
THE rEMPunANCE REFORM
has finally struck Trinity church! _ This re-
ligious corporation, owningreal estate to
the amount of millions, has for years leased
a considerable portion of its prdperty to
rum mills, some of them of the lowest and,
vilcst order. But the. Temperance; revival
has struck the slumberi'ng consci'encesof _
the trustees, and they have determined: to
close out the liquOr shops“, rebuild the:
buildings, adapting them to other business."
Trinity should have donethis ‘ ~

BUILDERS
are doing absolutely nothing. There have
been no plans of any expensive buildings
since the year came in—ill fact, only about.
three hundred buildings ‘of all'stylc's'liavc.
been commenced since Jan. 1st. One-third
of the carpenters in the city are idle, and
the blacksmithspplastcrcrs and other arti-
sans are still worse off. The workmen
have
THEMSELVES 'ro BLAME
for a great part of their trouble. They
have struck for higher wages and for Short-
er time of work, and so on, till the con-
tractors have got to a point of not knowing
where they are. They dare not undertake
a building except at a price sufficient to
cover these chances, and those who would
build are not sure of enough rent to justify
the increased cost, in the present stateof
trade. There are usually 1,000 plasterers
at jobbing work this season of the year;
this year there are less tl11111200,ahtl the
same rule holds good in :ill the l'adcs this
spring. The working men have over-
reached themselves. They have got trade
so hampered and tied up with “regulations”
as to make the contractor l‘cnlly their ser-
vants. The societies rule, and their rules
hear so terribly against the employer as to
kill his business unless he can compel the
property owner to give him a largely iii-
crcased price, which he will not do. The
enforcement of the society system is a direct
encouragement to idleness. When society
.shall be obliged to pa
His '
rules are carried out, the diligent workman
receives no more cash than the man who
studies how little he shall do and still es-
cape discharge. By society rule no man
can be discharged for incompetency, pro-
vided he does work enough to reach the so-
ciety standard, which is much lower than
the amount of work which an active wprk-
man can fairly do. One of the regulations
of the plasterers’ society is that employers
men for the time
they are on strike. a several societies
there are express rules to discourage dili-
gence. In the plastercr’s union men have
been fined heavily because they have been
complained of by'their fellows for obstruct
ing them. The stone cutters have fixed a
limit for a day’s work, which no journey-
man can exceed without afine. The der-
rickmen have laid down rules which re-
quirc a certain number of men to each der-
rick, often a larger number than 13 neces-
sary, and which restrain men from undue
haste in working. Among the had-carriers
and hricklayers there are regulations to
prevent the too rapid accomplishment of a
piece of work. It is forbidden to use a
wheelbarrow to carry bricks from the pile
to the foot of the ladder. Hod-carriers are
not allowed to use both hands in filling
hods,and are forbidden to put more than
fifteen bricks in one load. It may often be
noticed that in laying bricks men delay and
loitcr in their task, because they may not.
venture to finish their part before the cor-
responding part is finished by their fellows,
who,if they were out-stripped, would have
the right to complain to their union. _Until
'these rules are modified, the master builders
do not care to take contracts, and building
must languish. It may be better later in
the season, but it is fcarfully dull now, and
there is much sufi‘ering among laborers.

Machines. Delicate ladies who cannot use others
can operate the Bartram without fatigue.
Best Needle.
It has the best needle in the world—shor 0!
straight with a fiat shank. By simply putting up
in the needle bar as turns it will go, it is set right
and never has to be varied for thick or thin goods.
Durability.
It is, without question, the most durable machine
in the market“, as it is sosimply constructed (having
but five working parts), that friction is reduced to
The lowest ossible degree. All the wearing parts
'sre made'o the finest steel, and beautifullyfinished.

As Senator Buckingham is a supporter 0f
the administration, the New York Tribune
is " disappointed” in him as a Senator, but '
commends him as the “ War Governor” in
the following just well-deserved tribute :—
By the results of the election in Connecti- '
cut on Monday giving to the op£0|ition the
control of both branches of the egislature,
and consequently thechoice of Senator Buck-
ingham’s successor, the public career of that
gentleman‘niay be said to have been brought
to a close. He is now within one month of
seventy years of sge,and next March will re-
tire to private life after fifteen years ofpublie
service nine as Governor of his State and
six as 'nited States Senator. It is as the '
War Governor of his State that he will be
best remembered. His six years service as
Senator have added nothing to the reputation
he had already made as a wise and able Exc-
tmtive, whose energy and patriotic devotion
in the perilous days 01' the war stayed up the
hands of President Lincoln and gave to the
loyal cause the fullest and promptest co-op-
eration, backed by all the resources of the
State in men and money. First elected Gov-
ernor in 1858, when the duties of the Execu-
tive were little more than nominal, and the
position gave nothing more than an honor-
able prominence in the state, he was contin-
ued in office through the whole period of
the war till 1806, when be absolutely refus- :
ed renomination, and for two years remain-
ed in private life.
In the Spring of 1800, when he was for
the third time a candidate. the democrat.
made a most desperate efi'ort to defeat him
with Thomas H. Seymour as their candidate.
At that time the Northern States presented a
solid front against the aggression of Slavery '
and the Democratic party that was uphold-
.ing it. Connecticut was always: close and
doubtful State, and this was obviously the
turning point in the great struggle which
was felt to be impending. The whole force of
the party then in. power was brought to
bear upon this the weakest point in the op-
posing line, and the countrynvatched the
contest wiffi interest more“ intense than a
Connecticut election ever excited before or
since. The election of Gov. Buckingham
by less than five hundred majority was ac;
cepted by the Southern leaders as conclu-
sive of the determination of the North, and
from that moment the preparations for se-
cession which had been staid forthe result
went forward with inflexible and remorse-
less purpose. The commencement of hostil-
ities found Gov. Buckingham at the head of
affairs in the State, a plain business man,
untrained in politics, buthaving' the quali-
ties of stubborn integrity, business tact and
aiministrative skill, enthusiastic devotion to
.the Union and the party of the Union, pa-
tient industry and resolute will, that ware
vastly 'of more account than any political
training or the statesmanship of the schools.
He commanded not only popular sympathy
and support, but the high-est confidence of
all classes, and was able to bring to the as-
sistance of the Government all the moral
and material elements demanded in such a
crisis, the hearty cooperation of the people,
and the equally necessary financial sinews
of war. His administration during the try-
ing period of the war, was in all respects
admirable. He gave to the unusual duties
of the office, industry that was nntiring,
patriotism without limit, and a readiness of
personal sacrific, an inflexibility of pur-
pose, aud determined spirit that inspired all
who came in contact with him, with a lofty
courage and exiorted the admiration of his
bitterest opponents. By the vigor of his
administration, the earnestness and energy
with which he kept the quota of his State
more than full, and,‘abovo all, by the useful
ofiices and tender ministries with which he
followed the faithful soldiers of his recruit-
ing to the:camp, and field, and hospital, he
endeared himself to the loyal people of the
State as had none of his predecessors.
