Jpir
Whereat, T.y the terms of the Declaration of Inde
pendence all governments derive their just powers
Irom the consent of the governed ; and
H'icc Under the Constitution of the I nlted
States and its several states, absolute power is con
ferred'upon the several legislative bodies to grant
privileges, appropriate property, enact laws, without
submitting their acts to the people for satisfaction ;
Whereat, The corruption of this power to-day
threatens the extinguishment of the rights of all
men and women, including the right to the free
use of unoccupied and unimproved lands, the right
to the products of labor, and the right to control
and direct the exchange and transportation thereof;
Wherein, This power results In the open prostitu
tion of the otllce by legislators to base ends, at the
expense of labor, and the sicrilice of tile public
good; therefore
jitsolred, That this convention recommend to the
members of the Labor party that tliey adopt such
measures, amendments to lhe Constitution of the
Vnited States, and of the several States, as will pre
vent any act of any legislative body from becoming
a law until it has been submitted to the people lor
ratillcatHm and duly approved by a majority voting
thereon. . . ,
Amidst considerable confusion, and numerous ob
jections to the reading of the foregoing, it was finally
referred to the Committee on Plat form.
Mr. Trevelllck moved that till communications be
referred to appropriate committees without being
read.
This was likewise apposed upon the ground that
It would tend to b.iry all communications without
being read.
Mr. Trevelllck said that by his motion he merely
desired to save time by dispensing with the reading
of communications and not resolutions.
Mr. West stated that there was a ring in the Con
gress that must be broken up.
This remark created a great ileal of confusion.
The Chair directed the Sergeant-at-Arnis to keep
Mr. West in order.
Mr. Walsh moved that a committee of three be
appointed, to which should be referred all resolu
tions, and by it handed over to the standing com
mittees. It was amended to Include all communications,
and then passed.
The following were constituted the committee:
Messrs. J. F. Walsh, N. Y. ; Guzzan, of l'a. ; and
Puett, of Indiana.
Mr. l)av, of New York, moved that all documents
which the special committees could not or would
not act upon should be at once laid before the Con-tn-esH.
Agreed to.
Mr. Walls, of Philadelphia, otrered the following:

Rev. H. O. Sheldon, of Mo., offered tho following
ommunieation from Francis P. Blair, Sr. It was
referred to the Committee on communications.
The correspondence requesting a letter from Mr.
B air was as follows :
St. Louih. Mo.. Aug. 7, 18fi9 Hon. F. P. Blair.
Washington, I). C Dear Sir: The National Labor
Union organization noiu ineir mini annual conven
tion In Philadelphia, Pa., commencing Auirust 16.
Inst., and. as one of the Executive Committee. I am
authorized to invite any person whom I may know
to be favorable to the principles which have Deen
adopted by the National Labor Union, to attend the
convention, or to give their views and opiiilonsnpon
any or all of the questions embraced in the platform
which the party has heretofore adopted.
One of the principal questions that will again be
rtiscussed at Philadelphia is the present financial
condition of the country.
We well remember that when the Bank of the
Vnited States controlled the legislation of tho coun
try State and National that you acted a prominent
part in protecting the people and the State of Ken
tucky against the power which the bank exercised
in other locations, and that the country was much
Indebted to you for the aid you rendered in abolish
ing that bank.
The Congress of the United States, by transferring
power to corporations which control the money of
the country, have created thereby a worse monopoly
than the old V nlted Sta'es Bank. To get r'd of this
monopoly, and place our American monetary system
upon a sound basis, is a question which the conven
tion will again consider, and would be tliaukiul if
your vteWB may be had In a form that can be pre
sented to the convention.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
Joun Mauukb.
Silver Spriko, Maryland, Aug. u, ISfin John
Magulre. Esq. My Dear Sir: I have received your
letter of the 5th instant, in which, as a member of
the Executive Committee of the National Labor' Or
ganization, you invite me to attend the convention
alMJut to assemble in Philadelphia, or to express mv
views, In writing, touching the objects of the or
gantzatlon. Your organization Is rluht in addressimr
Itself at once to the linancial question, and voii' s iv
with truth that "the Congress of tho United States
by transferring power to corporations, which control
the money of the country, have created thereby a
worse monopoly than the old (lulled Slates Bank
and you Justly compare the fatal policy adopted by
the usurers to subject our Government, after tho
War of 181'J, to their sway, to that adopted during
the late war.
Moneyed men always have a simple process with
necessitous States or Individual, to get possession
of all their resources. It Is bond and mortgage
When the estate of an Individual Is to be transferred
. to an individual creditor. When a great body of
creditors combine and grasp the credit and resources
of a nation, In addition to the obligation of bond and
mortgage of all the assets of tho national Treasury,
banking powers are Incorporated giving them sway
over the whole financial system and credit of the
OovernmenU
Jiy this process they get not only interest on the
whole amount of bonds, far greater In amount than
they loaned the Government but they get the
lower to tax the peoplo by au Indefinite amount of
tralized government " "" ...
t ie svmimthyand support of a lauded aristocracy,
in all other cases It has invariably been a govern
r.t th n.-nnle. combining material strength
loans and paper Issues, and so Increase the usury
libitum. Tho late Senator Guthrie, of Kentucky,
distinguished as the ablest Secretary of the Treasury
of our tunes, assured me that the national
banks, receiving their regular dividends In specie on
the Government bonds, then lending the 90 per ecnU
In notes, returned to them by the Treasury when
they file their bonds, with loans on the Government
and Individual deposits, and profits on bills or ex
change, compounding the Interest through sixty
day discounts, paid in advance, cleared at least forty
per cent, on the amount of their capital! And I
know instances in which tho capital was doubled
the first year. This Is the crushing taxation that is
ruining the country.
This modern system of national banking on the
bonds of the Treasury, paying interest, and then cjn
verted into capital, and next, almost duplicated by
nine-tenths of their amount being given to the
creditors of the Government in banknotes, turned
over to them for bank circulation, with the whole
credit of the nation nud ail its deposits to back
them, you may well say Is a more absolute, and,
therefore, worse monopoly of Its whole monetary
concerns than was ever conceded to the Bank of the
United States.
The older national banks had to hold a competi
tion with State institnttof.s, and a contest with the
State Government In Its attempts to subordinate
them to its purposes. Now, in eirect, the national
banks have absorbed all the State establishments.
It wns tho attempt of the Bank of tho United
States to subject the state banks and the States to
its power that began the war against the mammoth
Institution which grew out of the war debt of 1812.
1 lie Iirst CllortS to rest ra n its rower were minln
by the States of Kentucky and Ohio. The United
States Bank, under Its President, Mr. Cheves had
gutted the State Institutions, and it mav be said the
States themselves, and rid them of all their coin
and transferred it, in wagons, over the Allegheuies,
to the parent bank in Philadelphia. The States, to
resist this high-handed measure, Imposed a tax on
im- ijiuiii;ii uuun wuiuii uieir Hums.
J he federal courts took the part of the crent cor.
poration, and under the Iniluence of its commanding
attorney, Mr. Clay, the state laws were annulled and
me riaie ireasury, (tliat or Olilo)' entered and Un
tax imposed amounting to ioo,oim), taken from it
This decided the fate of the tax-law of Kentucky.
The State courts and the state Banking Institutions
became subject to the national Institution, and to
subject the people it brought innumerable suits
against its citizens, debtors to the branch banks es
tablished wilhin the State.
The people and their representatives resolved on
resistance, and, to supply a clruliiting medium for
the business of the country (coin and the imtinnui
lank circulation belnir alike withdrawn i,v rh n,n..
of Mr. Cheves, a Bank of the Commonwealth of Ken-
uichy was incorporate ! by the Legislature, and re
plevin laws interposed to prevent linmediates sales
under executions.
The latter were assailed in the Stntn eonrto- h,,
before final decisions could be had the Bank of tho
Commonwealtn was organized, au 1 the people had
a breathing spell and were enabled to rais crops
from their rich soil and throw them on the markets
contemporaneously with the issue of the Conunon-
weaim s paper.
l had been deputed durinir tho winter to have t.im
bank notes engraved at Philadelphia, and with the
opening of the spring I laid them before Mr. Critten
den, who. although opposed to the relief measures
of the State, and the bank itself as the nucleus of
mose measures, ivas elected bv the Leir s atnrn nr.
sldent of the bank, both to divest their plan of a
party aspect and to make his popularity subservient
to the public interest. Although It was a trreat sacri-
ficc of Mr. Crittenden's personal interest, he h:ui the
magnanimity to accept the situation and give the
projected system of finance a fair trial.
The bank was, as its name Imports, a naked State
institution for the common weal. All its capital was
state credit and all Its product went Into the shit,.
Treasury, nil its managers were elected by the SMte
Legislature, nud they were authorized to make loans
on the real estate of the applicants, hacked by en
dorsement oi surencB, adjudged oy the Directors

classes opposed to the Commonwealth's bank depre,
elated its paper fid per cent, below par of coin.
nut as it was received in pavment or taxes to the
state, and for all payments from the Treasury, and
in liquidation of all obligations between citizens of
the State, it presently became current In payment
or a'l commodities witinn the State, and soon the
merchant princes of New York and Philadelphia to
whom the Kentucky merchants were Indebted, were
found busied, some In person, others bvthelr agents,
riding through the country buying the tobacco, the
hemp, the bagging, the cordage, the whisky, etc.,
with the Commonwealth's currency received in dis
charge of Kentucky's debts.
I he bank s issues gradually rose to par: even the
factors and customers of the Bank of the United
states became the instruments of converting in
paper into gold by transferring tlu lrich products of
the soil of Kentucky, bought with it, to foreign
markets, where they commanded specie.
The result oi tne nonest management or tho Bank
of the Commonwealth was that its profits relieved
the people from taxation, to a great extent, the oill
cer of the State and creditors generally being paid
in its currency; and as its redeemed paper, towards
t ne close of its charter, was burnt, instead of being
reloaned. the exigencies of the country no longer
requiring it, the bank was found to have realized all
the hopes of its founders.
The state was redeemed irom debt, tne people
were redeemed from debt, the business of the state
was prosperous, and the corporation wound up leav
ing a large surplus oi earnings, which, if i recollect
rightly, was appropriated as a school fund by the
Legislature.
iim have alluded to my connection with this Inst -
tution and too generally ascribe to me "a prominent
part in protecting the people and State of Kentucky
against the power which the Bank of the United
states exercised In other localities," and flatteringly
add, "tUat the country was much lndebtod to mo lor
the aid rendered in abolishing that Bank."'
1 might avail myself or this kind feeling, as a
subaltern attached to the great man who led, and to
the exulted men through whose assistance he
achieved the deliverance of the country to which you
advert, to write an autobiography of myself and as
sume, as by the right of survivorship, the credit of
destroying the monoplies christened by Mr. Clay
the American system, tnrongu wnicn the adminis
tration he headed, under Mr. Adams, sought to
establish the British system, wielded by a corrupt
oligarchy among us.
But this 1 am sensible would recall the fable of the
fly on the axle of the chariot, that gloried in tho
cloud of dust that was hurled from the wheels as ex
hibiting its own power. The simple truth is that the
Irish stripling soldier, who was knighted by a Bri
tish oillcerat Camden by the cut of his sword on the
head for refusing to clean his boots, was the instru
ment of Providence In breaking down the coalition
of great men to convert our republican form of gov
ernment into the British system.
Adams and Webster of New England, Clay of the
West, Calhoun of the South, combining with Biddle
and the bank Intrenched within the bulwarks of the
Federal Government, all fell under the superior
genius, probity, and patriotism of Jackson. Ken
tucky, Indeed, was the first battle-ground where re
sistance to the oppressions of the bank, enforced by
her own Illustrious son (Mr. Clay), began. We then
called in the aid of Jackson's name and fame to
efl'ect our measures of relief, of which the Bank of
the Commonwealth became the nucleus.
The victory gained there in carrying the electors
for Jackson over Adams, with Clay commanding in
the llelo, gave an importance to Kentucky in the
councils of the Jackson administration which identi
fied the policy of that administration somewhat with
that which characterized the canvass In that, stum
That canvass was based on the known Jell'ersouiau
principles of General Jackson. My father, as Attorney-General
of the State of Kentucky, was the
llrst publU man to enter the arena against the bank
in the maintenance of the State law taxing the mo
neyed corporations.
in the press 1 had taken some part in sustaining
him, and in advocating all the meisures of tho
Legislature to support the State authority against
the domination oi the great corporation. It was a
subject of jeering that the Bank of the Common
wealth was brought across the Alleglienles in a
trunk behind the stage, to Biipplant the branches of
the United St ites Bnk, but the result for its envoy
was that when elected President of the Institution by
the Legislature on the resignation of Mr. Crittenden,
that accident pointed him out to General Jackson
us one suited vt carry on hU war against the liauk.
This and his exposure In the Kentucky press of
the then embryo scheme of dissolving the Union,
manifested by Mr. McDutlle, In a publication before
Mr. Calhoun, had fully developed his nullification
doctrine, gave birth to the UUibe at Washington, as
the organ of the administration of Jackson. It de
rived its power from tho sagacity, patriotism, popu
larity, and vast influence of the President with the
masses of his countrymen.
The great fact which made his power was, that, he
worked for the working-men of the nation and they
worked with him. Tho result stands out In bold re
lief In history. The grand triumvirate of orators and
Statesmen, and of sectlous North, West, and South,

pearedthe prohibitory tarllf and all the grind
ing taxes given as a bonus to incorporated
establishments, under tho pretense of aid to "Ame
rican Industry," were ubollshed: the public debt, in
curred in the two great wars with England, was paid
to the last farthing, and a great surplus was felt,
which the President insisted should remain In the
Treasury to reduce stlil further the taxes; but It
was seized on by tho tariff party for distribution
nmmitr the States.
This the President resolved to veto, and Congress
converted their bill Into one for a deposit with the
states, and under this feint and on the expiration of
the Jackson administration effected their obJoeL At
its close, however, all was accomplished that he had
proposed for his country. Tho golden era had ar
rived. The bauk was destroyed, nullification crushed,
and the Constitution vindicated before ho returned
to the Hermitage.
This golden age can never return while a stupen
dous national debt weighs on the labor of the coun
try, preying on It hourly in the shape of taxation,
Bnd converting all the machinery of the Treasury
Into a paper mint, to create Issues for tho so-called
national banks, based by holders of the national
debt, on tho Government credit aud de
posits to lay a new and still greater
taxation on tho people In the shape
of loans.
Why may not the Government bank on Its own
credit. Its deposits, and Its issues of currency now

means of paying the national debt, Instead of sur
rendering all to stockholders 1 t
If the Government would adopt and pursue, the
Kentucky plan of relief and bank for the oonmon
weal for twenty years, fortifying its own crc(it by
loans to the farmers and builders and'.ir'IsKns, oil

security, the colossal debt might be gradually liqui
dated by tho proceeds, aud disappear like an Ice
berg In the ocean. 7
But the other day a pregnant hint wasgivfn by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer In England, Mr. Lowe,
In his reply to a Parliamentary representative of the
Bank of England, who complained that his report on
the finances was not accommodated to the 'interests
of that institution and the business men dependent
on It,
Mr. Lowe told him, In effect, that ltwa4notthe
duty of the Government to take care of the bank and
Its dependants, but of the government nid the

the millions of paupers and hand-to-mouth laborers
that are hecatombs to the grandeur of the oligarchy
and millionaires of that country might have had
some share in the prosperity now monopolized by
the latter.
Mr. Lowe and his co-workers for reform In Eng
land would find the disestablishment and dlsendow

form for that country than the late measure with
regard to the Irish Church.
And it would be a still greater reform for us to
disestablish our national banks and resume for tho
people the control of the II nances of the Government.

Mr. S. P. Cuminings, of Massachusetts, offered the
following resolutions, which were referred to the
Committee on Platform:
liexolveri, That in the Judgment of this Congress all
trades' unions in every branch of Industry should
endeavor to Introduce the co-operative system In
trade and manufacture us an elllclent remedy for
many evils of the present Iniquitous system that
concedes the laborer only a pittance of tliat he pro
duces, and makes a life of labor little better than a
life of shivery.
Jtenoliml, That we demand for nil voluntary asso
ciations of workingmen or women for legitimate
pnrposes the same chartered rights ami privileges as
are granted to associations of capitalists, both from
our State and National Legislatures; and we de
nounce any and all parties who deny th's right as
enemies of the masses and tools of the money
power.
Mr. Walsh, N. Y., delegate from Typographical
Union, No. 0, of that city, read the following tele
gram, and asked the return of his credentials:
Delegate to National Labor Congress, Assembly
Building, Tenth and Chesnut streets, Pliilada.
If Miss Anthony Is admitted you are directed to
withdraw from the convention and inform them that,
it is an Insult to Union No. f, aud that we are opposed
to humbugs. William Stihk,
President Typographical Union, No. i.
An animated discussion immediately arose upon
allowing Mr. Walsh to withdraw, which was only
stopped by the gavel of the chairman, at ten minutes
to VI o'clock, within ten minutes of the hour of ad
journmenU These last minutes had previously been
granted to Mr. Isaac Myers, colored delegate from
Maryland, for the purpose of presentlnga paper on
behalf of his colored brethren.
Ilcsuld: "It would be an net of great injustice
to your God-like charity shonld I allow the delibera
tions of this convention to close without returning
you the thanks of four millions of my race for your
unanimous recognition of their right to representa
tion in this convention."
Belerriiig to his brethren he said :
"When 1 tell you that all they ask for themselves Is
a fair chance, that you shall be no worse oil' for giv
ing them that chance, that you and they shall dwell
In peace and lianuouy together, and that you and
they may make one steady and strong pull "until the
laboring man of this country shall receive such pay
lor time made as will secure them a comfortable
living for their famll'es, educate their children and
leave a dollar for a rainy day and old age. Slavery,
or slave labor, the main cause of the depreciation or
white labor. Is no more.
"The white laboring men of the country have
nothing to fear from the colored laboring men. We
desire to see labor elevated and made respectable
we desire to have the highest rate of wages that our
labor is worth ; we desire to nave the hours of labor
regulated, as well to the interest of the laborer us to
the capitalist,
"Mr. President: American citizenship for the
black man is a complete failure if hit is proscribed
from the workshops of the country."
At another place in the document was contained
the assertion that the colored people of the land
desired the payment of every penny of the national
debt.
W hen the reading of the pper had concluded the
Conirress adjourned till 2 P. M., when the reuuest of
Mr. Walsh to be permitted to withdraw his creden
tials will come up lor action.

Immediately upon the calling of the Congress to

various committees to attend to tne business before
them. Lost,
The debate upon the pending business, the request
of Mr. Walsh, was then resumed, and had not con.

to be rather the result oi nis own renecnons and de

The departments of the academy are presided over

citizens aud well merits the encouragement which
has been already received.
The Wateh Question still the great theme of
conversation on the street is the threatened short
supply of water, and from the language used It Is not
hard to understand thut the citizens now all com
prehend the situation in which thev are likely to be
placed, unless a heavv 'und long riiln sets In. The
authorities are doing their best, with the means at
hand, to get the reservoirs lit Fuirmount filled, in
which event we can rest content for several days at
least. The Schuylkill Navigation Company during
yesterday were busily engaged In opening their
dams along the upper Schuviklll, and as a result a
difference or four Inches of "water at the Fuirmount
dam has been observed since yesterday morning. In

fame we way nothing m to quality on less capital
than any other living or dead individual. Hho Is not
particularly great In any particular, except perhaps
her pertinacity and litter dlregard for tho Jeers and
Intuits Of tho peoplo who dally fall In her way. A
winter among the lights of Washington has not de
creased the doctor's ambition for notoriety, or put
ny more puisnes on her fair cneen man is strictly
necessary and In keeping with her modest and re
tiring disposition, so to-day she walks Chesnut street
with the air atd grace of one who knows her place
as well as her duties, and is fully determined to sup
port both wi h that charming dignity peculiar to
nose who have trod the spacious halls or the i ion so
of Representatives and the Senate, as well as the
expansive rooms or the vt lilte House, jioys wno
don't know nny better, and other people whom the
doctor would ruin have educated in a more polite
school, will persist In following and gazing at her,
but she stands It all like a major of marines.

hnniplon of Woman's Bights, Miss Susan B. An
thony, from their convention and deliberations. It
may be that, although we do not know. The doc
tor is a worker In her own way, and this morning, as
she ventilated herself on Chesnut street, she was
armed with the Inevitable lead pencil and paper,
ready at a moment's notice to Jot down a "mem." or
get out a petition for any little office that might
Happen in her way in a strange piace. as sue
walked alone, perfectly heedless of the broad smiles
which greeted her on either side, she seemed to say,
'em Koitmn vial v jicnx'.
In person she Is or medium height, without any
VN-v remarkable figure or noticeable feature except
heriircss. Her hair this morning (she wears It In dif-
ferent nvs. generally arranging it to suit time and
Place) wan-drawn Hat down over her head, und well
irushed and mootlied over the temples, tnence over
her ears, and gathered in a small waterfall behind.
We can't say it was very beautiful or becoming., Her
nice is a complete ovui, reminding one ortno moon
when at lis full, and here and there Is dotted with
the most delicate Ireckles. Her eyes are grey per
haps hazel small and dull, except when angered,
When thev become bright and twinkling, ller nose
is ot Iioman build, and her mouth is
small and well cut. Her dress has been so
frequently described that we forbear saving
anything about it. She has a variety of plain colors,
and during her promenade this morning was attired
In black silk coat and trowsers, such as she usually
wears when "doing" tho departments nt Washing
ton, m lien she attends the receptions ot the unie
reut dignitaries in that city her most common dress
is a dark green, trimmed with black lace. It is not
known how long tho distinguished lady will remain
among us, but let her stay be long or short, she can
rest assured that the boys will give her a lively re
ception wherever and whenever she makes her ap
pearance. Perhaps she s waiting for the President
Bovish Pastimes. The Inrniirer this morning
contained the following paragraph in its city news:
"lesterday, about tour o clock r. m., as a respect
able citizen was walking along the New York Junc
tion Bailroaii, lie was assaulted bv a gang or som;
live or six nan-grown villains, wno pelted nun witn
stones and green walnuts, winch nicy nan jusr,
knocked from the trees skirting said road, ono of
the walnuts came In contact, with csnsl lerable
force, with his hip, occasioning n severe contusion.
impulsively lie made at the rowdies, with the inten
tion of handling the one who threw the walnut. As
he could not ascertain who it was. and, moreover, as
the odds were much against him, he being unarmed,
save with an umbrella, and his assailant being well
provided with stones and tne aroresald unripe rrult
(the latter by no means a trilling weapon In Its green
state), the gentleman concluded that discretion was
the better part of valor, and forthwith retired from
the Held or combat under a part-ng salute from those
cowardly champions, and such a volley of vulgar and
disgusting slang as seldom issues irom tne turout or
the vilest."
The gentleman who was subjected to this out
rageous treatment, a well-known phy-u-'lan of this
city, sends us the following communic it ion In refer
ence tsit :
To the Editor of the Kreninn Tele'iranh,
i lie outrage above reierreu to was perpetrated in
the Twentieth ward, nt a lonely spot on the Ne.v
York Junction Itailroad, about half n mile south
ardly of Bulge avenue, where no police force was
within reach, or anv assistance whatever attainablt
if the young scoundrels had pushed matters a little
lurtner.
This spirit of rowdyism in our youth must be
crushed, or our city will have to pass through a bitter
experience wnen it Shun nave ueen iuny developed
in manhood.
That a toilet citizen, passing along one of our plea
sant highways, not over a mile irom tho densely
populated part or tne town, on tne very borders or
ur beaiitnui earn, snouui nave been assailed in tne
manner described in tne roregoing notice, is a cir
cumstance, it seeirs to me, that demands something
more than a mere insertion among the stirring Inci
dents of a local column.
In this case we have hail a melancholy Illustration
of the natural tendency of lazy, worthless boys to
Indulge iu lawlessness und crime. Hints, arson, bur
glaries, und bloodshed are but. the legitimate fruit
of tills early depravity. A tight rein is required for
these boisterous boys of seventeen, who, proud of
their pluck and their brawny right arm, are ever
seeking occusion to display them. Let appropriate
punishment for infractions or law be meted out to
them with wholesome despatch.
Those engaged In the all'air which has elicited
these hasty remarks probably reside in the vicinity
of lfitlge avenue and Twenty-ninth street. They
may Imuxt or their valorous deeds in the hearing o'r
soiiie good citizens, who will subserve the ends of
justice bv lodging information us to their names and
residence ut the Mayor's otllce.
Very respectfully, W. K.
Philadelphia, Aug. is, lMii).
Besi'mei) Operations. For some time the boilers
of the Mint have been In a rather dangerous condi
tion. Soon utter Gov. Pollock took charge of the
establishment (second term), he made a careful ex
amination of the boilers, which he found to be In a
leakv and corroded condition. Acting upon the ad
vice'of expert engineers and his own experience, the
Director determined to remove the old boilers and
put in new ones. A month ago yesterday the work
of removing the boilers commenced, and this morn
ing steum was gotten up und the machinery put In
motion. Some idea of the work may be derived from
the fact that there were six boilers to be taken out, the
nuisonrv torn out und everything entirely rebuilt.
The work was executed by the enterprising llrm of
Morgan Orr, of this city. During the cessation
of operations, all the machinery of the establishment
has been cleaned and burnished.
Low Prices of Freight. The present railroad
war, which is at present being waged with so much
vigor in New York, be twee u the different railroad
lines connecting the Fast and West, has resulted iu
putting the price of freights to a rate heretofore un
precedented in the history of railroads. From those
who are connected witii ihe I'euusyivunia Kailroad,
we learn that that railroad has reduced the price or
freight between this cltv und St. Louis to the low
sum of thirty cents a hundred, und to Pittsburg
twenty cents." The schedule price per hundred to
St. loins before the change was lu the neighborhood
of one dollar and eighty cents. Uepreseutatives oi
the different railroad companies are now iu New
York elideuvoiing to adjust ihe difficulty,

Between 1 und 2 o'clock this morning the guard in

HARVARD AM) OXFORD.
AHtoiilHlihiK Time Mnde by Ihe Ainerlcnii Hays.
The N. Y. Time makes this morning the following
editorial comments on the approaching interna
tional rowing contest:
We learn by telegraph that on Saturday the Har
vard crew traversed the regular course, from Put
ney to Mortlake, In twenty-one minutes aud ten
seconds. The Oxford crew did tho distance on the
same day In twenty-two minutes ten seconds being
thus behind their competitors a full minute. The
time made by the llurvarii crew must, we
should Judge, have taken the English pnbllc, ami
all rowing men, by surprise, ir. is very nearly mo
fastest on record. Much, of course, depends on th
state of the wide and tide, but. last Saturday Oxford
rowed under the same conditions as the Harvard
crew, and they were left far behind. The fastest
time ever mane was in i, wura vanou mgo iron
the race In twenty-one minutes five seconds.
The Harvard crew, aner ouiy icw uyn irmn.
Ing on the Thames, have almost equalled thin
achievement It. Is quite evident that the Harvard
men will give their competitors very hard work, and
that ir they are beaten wnicn now seems iinpruiH
ble It will be by a great Improvement on the Ox
ford "form" of 8'aturdpy last.
The. "regular course'' alluded to In the telegram
extends from Putney Bridge, to Barker's Rails, Mort
lake, the distance being four miles and a half. We
subjoin a record of the matches between Oxford
and Cambridge, between 1so-1h7, showing the time
occupied and other Interesting particulars:
