Vr J F Walsh explained that whereas, In the
report of his remarks upon the admission of Miss

to degrade man to the level of woman, not to elevate
woman to the level of man, he desired to state that
while he mav have uttered such words, he did not
Juean them, and deprecated the construction which
had heen placed upon them.

Your Committee on Female Labor wonld respect

iWsoliHti, mat this .aiiuum muui lungiras n
commend that all the Trades Unions make immedi
ate efforts to secure a thorough organization of
female labor, and demand the same pay for work
equally well done by woman as that done by man.
Jiesotveil, That every avenue of labor for which
woman Is physically capacitated should be freely
opened to heron the same terms and conditions as
allowed to any class of laborers.
Whereas, The origin and purpose of this Labor
Congress Is to ameliorate the condition of working
women as well as workingmen, therefore
Jiettolreit, We ask for woman equal opportunities
aDd rights in every Held of enterprise and labor.
Mr. Cameron, of 111., from the Committee on Plat
Torm, reported that they had completed their labors,
and in accordance with instructions had placed
it in the hands of a printer, and that copies of it would
1)C submitted to the convention in the afternoon.
Mr. Day, of New York, asked permission
to read a document presented to lilm.
Permission being granted, he proceeded to read It,
hut was interrupted by several delegates, who de
clared the subject treated of as foreign to the object
ef the convention. He was allowed, however,
through courtesy, to continue, and the document,
when finished, was referred to the committee of live.
The following is the paper presented by Mr. Jessup,
of N. Y., and referred to the Committee of Five (re
ferred toin the foregoing report):
To William J. Jessup, President of the, ,V. V. State
Workinqwen'D Amuieiation, No. 885 West Eighteent h
street, New Youk, July 18, IstW near Sir: To every
American of ordinary intelligence and foresight,
who is actuated by the high impulses of candor and
patriotism, it is alarmingly apparent that almost all
financial and political power in this country Is now
being rapidly and surreptitiously concentrated Into
the hands of a very small number of our people, and
that this baneful course of events, if not speedily
checked, will Inevitably give irresponsible and Inex
orable mastership to the few and entail gulling uud
Koverning vassalage on the many.
Very soon, indeed, must we have a voluntary
change for the better in tin; administration of all our
public allulrs. or cIsh I;; ;egs than ten years from to
day (seVen-eighThR of our people will have fallen vic
tims to a worse tyranny than that which has recently
driven and is stili driving millions of good men from
the monarchical and military despotisms ol the Old
World.
For this seriously unfortunate condition of things
among us, 1 hold that both the political parties now
in existence the pro-negro radical party and the
pro-slavery Democratic arc; about equally respon
sible ; and I hold further, that since the deplorable
leath of the Iiepublicau party by vile absorption into
the radical ranks uearlv three years ago, there has
not been In the United States any party worthy of
the support of those vast multitudes of our country
men in every section of the Union who are controlled
by enlightened sentiments and upright motives. Pro
foundly impressed ivith this conviction, 1 have elabo
rated liny views upon the subject In a paper entitled
"The Necessity for the Formation ami Suggestions
fir nrtmi. nt tlw I'.uuoa tT n Ntw Political Pal'TV."
in regard to the best method, time, and place for
bringing the contents of the paper here mentioned
before the public (provided the contents In the main
meet your approbation), I Beek conference with a
committee of at least three earnest and prudent
members of your association, aud would be glad If
you yourself would be one of the committee ; I re
ttpectfully request therefore that you will do me the
tionor to name such committee, to meet and confer
with uie accordingly, aud I ask this of you In your
representative capacity wun an tne more connueuce
because li ns ueeu my endeavor io snow now m
Bidiouslv and effectively, and how generally witli all.
monetary and political power are now being wielded
to undermine the dearest rights and Interests of the
workingmen and workingwomenof our country.
As for the several points to which I thus solicit
your attention, 1 have neither time nor space to
mention them. I would oiler for your consideration
a single Issue that of immigration, or rather the
Jack of Immigration, to the Southern States, ltefore
the war slavery and the Democratic party were the
great Chinese walls that debarred Northern and
.European emigrants from settling in the South,
Fully satisfied lu my own mind that both of these
walls were lit only to be battered down, I did what I
tumid to raze them to the ground : and most heartily
aud constantly do I thunk God for anything and
everything that 1 may have been enabled to do to
Hint. end.
I wanted to see the Southern States, like the
northern States, uueu up, or lining up, with white
people, and with white people only, so that they
might oeconie lu every respect Homogeneous, prospe,
muH. and progressive. This Is what I am still lone.
itiuto see: It is what I have long labored for: in
truth, It is one of the principal objects that has in
fluenced me In addressing to you this communica
tion. Hut the irrational and fanatical leaders of the
radical party ana tneir oiacK una oarimr
ous minions have erected, between the
North and the south, as barriers against
civilization and progress, Ethiopian walls fua more
formidable than Chinese walls : aud the consequence
Is that you, and millions of other worthy white citi
zens, are still restrained from establishing your
i,,m..a m the South a great part of which Is. nv
nature, the garden-spot of the American Continent
un,l What is yet worse, this unnatural and unjust
....wiiMnn of restraint is rendered prospective for
vou and for your children for ever!
J n i,.t fh r-oinHsai' walls and bulwarks which the
H.11...U hu most unfairly and foolishly built In the
Interest of negroes, are quite as dilllcult to over
leap as those which the Democrats built in the
special Interest of slavery, and that all these walls
kiwi imiwarkH town uniformly served with equal
force and effect to fence out aud keep out from the
Month white emigrants from whatever
part of the world )s, as it seems to me, unequl
voriillv Hlinwn in the following table.
(Mr. Helper here Indulges in a fearfully compli
cated tabular statement of the destination of certain
kiuirranu landed at Castle Harden. New York, for
mc fourteen vears from lsw to lbtft. The pith or
this statement has already appeared In our columns,
and we therefore omit it.)
I might have given, similar statistics for each and
everf Mate In the Union; but the doing so, In this
connection, would have swollen the table Into undue
proportions. As it, is, the facts already Riven here,
In regard to only fifteen out of thirty-six States,
alord abundant Fmis for several pages of significant
and weighty comment, but this is now no lit time to
make It. If so inclined, let every member of your
association, eah for himself, interchange and com
pare fact with fact, and If he has sutlicient leisure,
he may spend one or two hours very usefully
In this way. Suffice it to say
that, wlt'hln the last forty years, more
than fire million of European emigrants (who
brought with them, In addition to the Instincts, in
dustries and rcllnements of a high civilization, up
wards oV nix hundred million of dollar in specie,)
have settled In the Northern and Western Suites,
ami tiibi, during the same time, only about lirfj
thouRund of mien emigrants have nettled in t.n'e
Sont ricrn Stntes. Here we have, standing out be.tore
ns in. bold relief, the particulars of another ol those
numerous and astounding contrasts which, many
yeirs ago, were brought Into existence between the
great, ami glorious white freedom of the North nnd
the degrading and despicable black slavery of the
Mouth.
Hut even greater disadvantages and troubles of a
pnoiic. naiure, are yei unmentloneil. Through the
gross Incompetency and corruption or the Hadlcal
party, a majority of the Southern States, especially
those that have most negroes In them, are still si)
agitated, chaotic, fand uninviting, that, whereas
white emigrants from the North and from Europe
ought now to be pouring into them bv the hundreds
of thousands, they are but tardily lltiding their way
there by the score. The whole tendency of this
perturbed and Ill-omened condition of things Is to
render the heterogeneoiisness of the South per
petual, nn incurable festlng sore upon the bodv poll
tie. It, threatens s, on the one hand, with a worse
than an Ireland, a Poland, or a Hungary, and on the
on the other, with a viler than a Mexico, a Jamaica,
or a San Domingo.
Impelled by the sincere and anxious hope of being
abb; to co-operate with you and with others in avert
ing at least some of the impending calamities thus
hastily and Imperfectly foreshadowed, I have, lu
this manner, thought it proper to request vour exa
mination of the above-mentioned paper, wherein I
have essayed to point out perils, and to propose
preventives worthy of the carerul consideration of
every vigilant and right minded Amerieau. With
full tnlth In all the sentiments here expressed and
implied, and with solemn apprehensions that, the
honor and the general welfare or the masses of our
people were never berore jeopardized to so great an
extent In time or peace, I respectrully await the ac
tion or any committee whom you may be pleased to
appoint to confer with me.
Hinton Rowan Hku-er.
Mr. West, of Miss., In view of the action or the
committee, moved that, the Chair appoint a commit
tee, every Interest represented in the Congress to
be represented therein, who shall draft and prepare
a constitution before the next session or the Union,
and report thereto.
Messrs. Day, of New York, nnd McLean, or Mas
sachusetts, spoke against the motion, nnd Cogswell,
of Illinois, in support ol it, it was finally agreed to.
Mr. J. F. Walsh, of New York, presented the fol
lowing, which was agreed to:
linuilvnl, That it shall bo the duty of the President
to appoint a standing executive and advisory com
mittee of live, who shall serve until the next meet
ing of this Congress, and unt'l their successors are
appointed, and whose duty it shall be to prepare an
address to the people of the United States.
Also the following:
Uroolrnl, That the President shall appoint a com
mittee of ways and means, consisting of one mem
ber from each State, whose duty it shall be to pro
vide for the financial necessities or this organiza
tion, ami otherwise provide for its general interests.
Agreed to.
Mr. Cameron, of Illinois, chairman of the Commit
tee on Coolie Labor, presented the following:
Whtrea, Interested and unprincipled capitalists
are endeavoring to lower the wages of the mechanics
aud laborers of the United States, our own citizens,
by the introduction of Coolie labor; and whereas
our working people, the pillars of our institutions,
are compelled to incur great expense towards edu
cating themselves and children, towards the support
of Government, and defending human rights for the
benefit of all the world ; and whereas Coolie laborers
would be under no such obligations, and would
therefore be able to undersell with their labor that
of our citizens, degrade the oignity of the Uborer,
and thus lead to a state ( f pauperism and vassalage'
which would Imperil Its continuance and the dc
velopment of our free republican Institutions ; there
fore be it
Jlnuilvnl. That while we appreciate the benefits to
be derived from voluntary emigration, we are tip.
posed in tola to the importation of a servile raca to
I it 111 1 contracts entered Into on a foreign soil.
Jtrmilivtl, That wo demand the rigid enforcement
of the law of Congress of 12, prohibiting coolie Im
portation. Hemilrcil, That voluntary Chinese emigrants ought,
to enjoy the protection of the laws like other citizens:-.
Mr. Jessup, of New York, moved that the report'
be received and adopted.
Mr. West, of Mississippi, said that he did not ap
prove of tin; words "unprincipled capitalists," aud
moved that they be stricken out.
Messrs. (iazzan of Pennsylvania, Cameron of Illi
nois, McLean of .Massachusetts, Kuhm of New York,
and Trevellick or Michigan, spoke against the mo
tion, which was finally voted down.
It was then moved that it be referred back to the
committee. Not agreed to.
Mr. West, ol Mississippi, desired to withdraw his
name from the report, which, on motion, he was
allowed to do.
The follow! , were appointed a committee on a
new politico party : James C. Sylvis, of Pennsylva
nia; Se'igfried Myers, of New York; James Carr, or
?;t-vv York; Hal. T. Walker, or Alabama; W. J. Mc
Laughlin, ol Massachusetts.
Mr. s. p. Pratt, of Massachusetts, Chairman of the
Committee on Mines ami Milling, presented the fol
lowing
KEPOnT OK THE COMMITTEE ON MINES AND MININO.
It is undeniably true that the prejudices or the
workingmen, as well as the maniiracturers or the
whole country, have been unjustly aroused ugainst
the miners oi rennsyivania.
A carerul and dispassionate examination or this
whole question will astonish every fair-minded man.
With the press and the telegraplijmanipulated in the
interest oi capital, it is not strange mat the impres
sion has gone forth that the miners are responsible
lor the present nigu price oi coai.
What are tne lacis in tne case-; e nnn oy care
rul inquiry that up to the time of the formation of
the present organization, known as the W. li. A., the
miners una suuerea outrage ami long-conuuued
abuse in many ways, wit liout the power of redress.
The operators nan cueatea ana oppressed their men
until a spontaneous movement placed thirty thou -
sand laborers in line to defend their common rights
as men.
Among the grievances against which the men pro
tested were these:
The collection of all bills, whether they are right or
wrong. The butcher at the end of each month
handed ins accounts into ine onice without consult
ing the miner. The operator charges live per cent,
for collecting, and the butcher not caring to lose.
sells the beef for enough more to makeup for live
per ceut. Next were the doctor's bills.
J lie pnysician cnarges sevenry-nve cents per
month for a married man, ami fifty cents for a single
person. The men were not very particular about
this item, still they claimed the privilege of choosing
their own physician instead of having the ope
rator do it for them. The shoemaker's bill was col
lected at the end of the mouth, the same as the
butcher's bill. Instances are related where t he shoe
maker took a man's measure, collected the bill at the
office, and then never finished the job.
Usually the operators had stores, which thev com
pelled the men to putronive. This, they said, was
against tne laws oi tne state, ami they felt grout ly
grieved that they could not spend their money where
tney picaseii. They say that for vears and vear
they worked for two dollars or less per day, while the
operators were making fabulous sums. Said one
miner: "i lie operators keep us Ignorant, and then
they blackguard us because wo cannot read and
write."
We would like to devote a nart of our tinu tn
books aud papers, but how can we when the press
and the operators are opposed to the "ehiht-hour
law?" It was the universal complaint that the ope
rators were not in favor of the miners sending their
children to Bchool. Thousands upon thousands of
the children or miners, irom eight to ten years of
uge and -iven younger, are obliged to work ten hours
per day.
much has been said about the miners seeklnir to
control the market. Tills is the miners' st.iteinnnt
"W lien all the men are at work tliev can Hunniv tim
market in about seven months. Last year 13,iiuo,oiio
tons were required ; this year the amount required
will be about u.tsio.omi. Now they claim that it is
much better for them to work moderately all the
year, or at least nine or ten months, than to glut the
market in the spring. hikI then lie idle a part of the
year. Again, they think that It is far belter to keep
coal at about ts or H the year round, than to have
the prices ranging from Jt to SIB.
For years past the operators have competed Willi
each other, and "hulled" the market at the miner s
expense, and at the expense of tho country. Now
they propose to step this business and get control of
the market, or, if this cannot be done In every in
stance, at least to share the profits with their em
ployers. Here seems lo b the trouble. The opera
tors have no Idea of being content with fair returns;
and to share with their workmen la to them some
thing ridiculous. The sliding scale of prices works
both ways, however; for the men are willing to mine
' cheaper when the nriecu r.iii i.ctow aceruin nolnt.
Wno, then, ja responsible for the proaewt lilgli
F,Tr1 !:"aIi ''n.q"C('tl0na, J'J 't is "vtIcI between
these three classes:
First, the great mining mon0p0llf,. thfi managers

Second. The Trai Mfwrtn,;on M,mop.,U-M, the rail

are rair ana n ,,1, tn thfflr dealings with the
men, vyouid i Hl,C ,0 nrfiak t)le for).c of speculative
operations imi,, ftti tne manufacturing anil con
""a! m crests of the country.
At the, ypjy Knie when our great commercial
centres Arn tiering on account of a short supply
or oo' an, tne pnee lg being forced to an out
f'V'tws figure, It Is not unnsual for the railroads to
f'.-awn freighting the coal. Vast armies of railroad
ariorerB are thus compelled to lie idle and directly
il1 the swindling operations. Transportation tarltls
lire Increased ; cars are refused to the smaller com
panies outside of the ring, and all the machinery of
unscrupulous railroad monopolies is thrown Into the
scale to force the price of coal to a higher figure.
Third, the City Simulator, who, to say the least,
are not over scrupulous, take still further advantage
of the needs of the community.
The miners themselves would prefer that the price
of coal should remain at live or six dollars In Now
York the year round. If It drops below the mini
mum price, the miners cannot support their families,
and they must quit work, on the other hand, they
do not desire that tho price of coal should ever ad
vance above the maximum tlgure here given.
When coal sold nt New York for tf per ton. and at
Port Carbon for f. per ton, tho wages In Schuylkill
county was for miners S 1 4 per week ; inside laborers,
12; outside laborers, fll per week. In Luzerne,
miners received flii; Inside laborers, I4; outside
laborers. $11 fio, and when prices for coal advanced
the minora demanded and have received twenty per
cent of said advance. To illustrate: If coal ad
vanced to fa per ton at Port Carbon (which it has not
yet done), tho miner's wages would then bo fW4o per
week. It Is not the miners who put up tin; price of
coal at Port Carbon and New York. They do not
demand nor receive any advance or waares until the
coal Is mined and sold, and the money in the pockets
of the operators. Then they demand the twenty
percent, of the advance at which the coal was sold
above the fr or : fixed as the basis, ltut if the price
of coal Is reduced, their wages would be reduced
without a murmur on their part.
Your committee would suggest that Is a question
whether (iovcmmoht should not take possession of
the coal mines ot the country, paying the present
owners a lair valuation tor the same, and run these
mines us the gold mines or California have been run.
In the Interest of the whole people. The rose "ved
right to all the national wealth or the country should
never pass out or the hands or the people "into the

ltefore reaching a vote upon the foregoing report
the convention adjourned until 'I P. M.
At 2 o'clock the convention reassembled, and pro
ceeded with the consideration of the report of the
Committee on Miners and Miners' Laborers. Mr.
Cameron, of Illinois, moved that It. be adopted.
Mr. Siney, of Pennsylvania, being called upon for
further explanation, stated that the employing
miners were refusing to comply with their contracts
with their workmen, for the purpose of breaking
down their organization.
Mr. lillssert, of New York, hoped that the repoit
would be adopted.
The motion was agreed to.
Miss Anthony moved that a committee of three be
appointed to inquire especially into what Is known
as slop-shop work.
Mr. (.azzar, of Pa., offered a resolution that a com
mittee having the subject of constitution under con
sideration lie instructed to Inquire into the practica
bility of securing; to trades unions throughout the
country their local and State organizations without
any aid from any political party, and at the same time
without (losing their identity to enable them to co
operate as allies in political action with a labor re
form party organized for political purposes.
It was adopted, and referred to a committee to
report next year. .. .

About tell days ago the United State authorities
seizod the distillery and the parapharnaltx attached
thereto of Oeorge Mountjoy, situated on Charlotte
street, near Heaver, lor alleged violation or the in

other property, a watchman was placed. His duty
required his presence at the place constantly. How

treating his friends, and while away on that errand,
it Is alleged, drays were driven to the distillery and
the whisky taken away.

Wasiiinoton, Ail";. 'JO. JikIio Dent lias re
ceived a letter from ex-Senator Albert (!. lirown,
of Missifiipl, wherein lie states that notliiii'xcati
(lefeall Dent for (iovernor but the hostility' of

hostility of the conservatives lie must take tin!
consequences.
lirown says they are nnvioiia to be the Presi
dent's friends, hut they cannot he if (irant. sup
ports General Ames in his acts of oppression.
The letter is a private one, but I lent intend to
publish it. It shows the hand of the conserva
tives completely, and will do more to injure their
cause than to help it. It is very evident from
the letter that the conservatives took up Dent
because he was the President's brollier-in-law,
and because they expected aid from the adminis
tration. FROM NEW YORK.

An Expiring 'rone nt a Circus.
From the Dayton (Ohio) Journal, Avg. IT.
Bn'ant's Menagerie and Circus, on First street.
was in the full tide of successful exhibition whon
a strong gust of wind struck the broad show-
canvas and made things crack. This was only
nn admonition ol danger, but it terrified tho
people, who fled in wild confusion, the women
and children intensifying the terror of tho
scene by their screams. Mothers and fathers
seized their little ones, and frantically fought
their way to the openings in the canvas. Many
adults, as wen as children, were precsed down
in the panic, and trampled in the dirt, and somo
were seriously bruised. Fortunately, most of
the spectators had time to escane lust at tho
moiueut when the full force of the iralo struck
the canvas, and swept it awav like a nancr bal
loon, tearing tho large centre pole from its fast
enings, aud tearing up the guys on the outside
as if they were no more than pipe stems. Some
of the athletes were left exposed in tights,
spangles, and gaudy belts.
One of the ladies attached to the company Is
reported to have made her escape with but little
more than a shawl upon her person. Several of t
tne cages 01 wild animals were overturned,
which was uickly discovered by the frightened
crowd, increasing their alarm. Many fled to
adjacent houses, and closed the doors behind
tlieni to escape ferocious beasts, which they
imagined would be upon them' suddenly. But the
cages were strong. The elephant occupied hi9
post patiently, scarcely budging when frag
ments of the canvas swept over him. He merely
turned tail upon the storm.
Strange to eay that, although tho canvas was
thronged with people of all ages, but two per
sons were seriously hurt William Harvev
Mitchell, who was flung across a bench while
attempting to support a guy, and a little girl,
whose name we did not ascertain, received a
broken arm and a severe cut on the head. Tho
former was injured in tho back, and conveyed
to the adjacent railroad round-house, where Dr.
Webster waited upon him. His injuries are not
likely to prove permanent. Many others re
ceived bruises on their heads and bodies, and
several persons looked as if they had been in a
sharp skirmisli.
