A DIET OF RATS FOR THE L ADOR
ING CLAUSES.
Law evening, for the first time, a Honsible
query was propounded in tbo frothy labor
convention which has been holding its ses
sions here during the present week. A colored
delegate from Maryland was upon the floor,
engaged in the discussion of the coolie ques
tion. According to his view of the case, the
coolie conies to this country, if ho comes at
all, not to take the place of the negro laborer,
but to push the white man to the wall; and
in support of this theory, the sable gentleman
from Maryland turned upon his paler col
leagues with the pertinent question, "Can
you eat rats ?" A roar of laughter was the
only response which the brawny sons of toil
could make, but the response was characteris
tic of the utter lack of wisdom and common
sense which has marked their proceedings
from the outset.
After five days were passed in wrangling
over that irrepressible gentleman, Miss Susan
. Anthony, and in listening to the stupid
vagaries of old Frank Blair and Helper, tho
renegade of "Impending Crisis" fame, inter
spersed with the still more stupid platitudes
which the delegates themselves brought forth,
the so-called Congress, late in tho session of
yesterday, reached the momentous question
of a vote upon the platform. As adopted, it
is constituted of seventeen planks, and each
plank is worthy of - its origin. All the bosh
and nonsense which Blair and Helper and the
rest of them have gotten off during the week
is bore boiled down and simmered out until it
presents as frail and niry a fabric as a strip of
gossamer cloth. The national banking sys
tem is denounced because, of course, no
member of the convention has his
name upon a list of stockholders;
and because, furthermore, it conflicts
with a wonderful document known as tho
Constitution of the United States. The pres
ent rate of interest is denounced, because, as
a man with half an eye can see, at five per
cent, twice as much money can bo borrowed
as when the rate of interest is at ten. The
entire monetary system of the country is de
nounced, because, as the world goes, it is
capital that employs labor, and not labor that
employs capital, and the attempt of labor to
enslave capital is not always and invariably
successful. The payment of the national
debt in tho hard coin to which tho nation is
pledged, tho present rate of interest paid by
tho Government, and the exemption of the
national securities from taxation are de
nounced, because the bloated bondholders
take a different view of mcum and taunt from
that held by the revolutionary members of
the Congress. Land monopolies are de
nounced because, when a laboring man enters
upon this sphere of speculation, he loses all
interest in labor unions and labor con
gresses, and in the cheap buncombe in which
they delight to indulge. Ten hours daily toil
are denounced, because eight hours will
give a laboring man more time to study po
litical economy and finauce and agitate the
great labor question, even at the expense of
a decrease of twenty per cent, in tho amount
of his daily earnings. The equal assessment
of taxation is denounced, because, if all the
revenue of the Government were derived
from the capitalists, the laborers could better
afford to devote a good share of their time to
attendance upon labor congresses. And,
finally, although Miss Susan B. Anthony was
so roughly handled by the convention, the
women of the country are invited to rally
around the standard of tho men and partici
pate in the grand revel which will follow the
impending overthrow of the present order of
things.
Precisely what the convention is doing
to-day we are not advisod as we writo, but
there is one thing which it has promised to
do that receives our hearty endorsement, and
that is to adjourn. The city has had about
enough of it, and will take leave of the dele
gates without any profound expressions of
regret. They have accomplished nothing,
and despite the passage of a resolution to got
up a new party which shall smash all tho old
parties without much ado, and the defeat of a re
solution declaring that nothing in the platform
shall be construed as a repudiation of the
national debt, it is safe to say that they have
harmed no one except themselves and injured
nothing save the cause which they professsod
to represent. If tho sun, moon, and stars
should chance to take tho back track, at tho
bidding of the Congress, and a general moral,
social, economical, financial, industrial, and
cosmical upheaval should result, the laboring
classes throughout the country would De com
pelled to respond in the affirmative to the
query of the dusky savan from Maryland:
"Can you eat rats?"
THE NEW YOJIK JUDICIARY.
The people of this city have heard often
enough comments on the scandalous corrup
tion in the New York courts, but except the
comparatively few who habitually read the
daily papers of that city in which the pro
ceedings of the courts are reported in detail,
have any adequate idea of tho demoralization
that actually exists. In the hands of such
men as Junticos Barnard, McCunn, Cardozo,
and others of the New York bench, justice is
not merely a burlesque, bnt its name is used
to ;over a multitude of crimes. These men
are the paid employes of politicians, railroad
speculators, and ring-masters generally, and
all the machinery of the law is put in opera
tion whenever required for the benefit of
their clients. All the powers of tho judiciary
in the way of mandamusos, injunctions,
writs of habeas corpus, attachments,
etc, are used with a recklessness
and utter want of scruple that bid fair to
ruin some of the groatest business enterprises
of the city and the State, if some moans for
effecting a reform is not speedily devised.
Tho Erie war and the Susquehanna Railroad
war, in which rival bands of stock gamblers
fired away at each other with injunctions and
counter injuctions from different courts of
concurrent jurisdiction, until such ammuni
tion being exhausted they actually came to
blows and bloodshed, are recent instances
that have attracted tho attention of the whole
country. In the case of the last-named road,
matters come to such a pass, that to preserve
the public peace, the Governor of the State was
obliged to interfere and take the matter into
his own hands, thus superseding tho courts.
The precedent thus set is itself full of evil
augury for the future, but under the circum
stances nothing else was to bo done, and this
illegal assumption of power mot with general
commendation.
Tho New York Times, which is the most
unpartisan, tho most independent, and gene
rally the most impartial and discreet of the
journals of that city, gave, a fow days ago, a
severe but just and porfectly correct review
of Judge Barnard's conduct in the Susquo
hanna Railroad difficulty. It showed how ho
issued the writs of his Court, not from the
bench, but from tho office of the Erie Kail
road Company, and proved conclusively that
he was nothing more nor loss than the paid
employe of risk and his co-conspirators.
This article touchod Barnard to the quick,
and yesterday at the opening of tho Court he
commenced a tirade against the present as
well as the late editor of the Timet, stating
with regard to the supposed writer of the
article, that he (Barnard) had saved
him some five years ago from being sent to
the penitentiary for forgery, and then
asserted that the late Mr. Raymond had gone
home drunk and fell down dead after attack
ing and misrepresenting the character of
Barnard, thereby implying that the sudden
death of the honored editor of the Times was
a judgment from heaven on account of Barnard.
This judge also stated that hereafter ho in
tended to make a personal expose of tho per
sonal character of his assailants; so wo may
expect some highly edifying remarks about
the private history of the prominent New
York journalists from him ere long. As for
tho charge brought against tho memory of
Mr. Raymond, or the still more disgraceful
allegations with regard to tho present edi
tor of tho llmex, no one believes thorn; aud
no one will, except on better evidence than
tho vindictive asseveration of a man of Judge
Barnard's well-known character.
Another characteristic specimen of the New
York Judiciary is McCunn, who does tho
dirty work of tho Democracy, aud whose
recent conflict with the United States autho
rities has brought him into notoriety.
McCunn has again distinguished himself by
ordering the unconditional roleaso of the de
faulting teller of tho Tennessee Bank, refus
ing to postpone proceedings, although he was
informed that tho Governor had remanded
the man to tho custody of the Tennessee au
thorities on the requisition of the authorities
of that State.
These instances show in the most glaring
manner tho magnitude of tho evils of an elec
tive judiciary, especially where tho Demo
cracy are able to obtain the control of the
political machinery. In this city we have
managed thus far to keep our courts pure and
unspotted by a suspicion of tho sole of jus
tice, but the elective system whieh we have
as well as New York is an evil that may soma
day master us as it has done our swter city.
The Judges of the New York bench wield a
power that ought not to be in tha hands
of any man or set of mon in a
free country. They are their own masters,
and the masters of the people, responsible to
nobody but themselves, and perfectly willing
to sell themselves to tho highest bidder. New
York submits to a great deal in the way of
official corruption; but it does not seem that
the present state of affairs can last much
longer. Already the Union Pacific Railroad
has been obliged to remove its office to
another city, and other great companies are
preparing to follow suit; and if something is
not done in the way of reform, the Demo
cracy will bo the ruin of New York, as it has
been the ruin of whatever else it has touched.
THE GETTYSBURG REUNION.
If special pains are not taken by those who
engineer tho Gettysburg reunion movement
to avoid partiality, there is danger that, in
stead of setting history right, undue weight
may be given to erroneous theories, and that
the whole demonstration will result in a
gigantic gratuitous advertisement of the new
watering-place on the one hand, and injustice
to the memory of some of the dead and ab
sent heroes of tho fight on the other. It is
perhaps unavoidable at Gettysburg, as well
as at all other great battle-fields, to prevent
the men in epaulettes from monopolizing the
honors won by the hard fighting and unfail
ing courage of tho rank and file. How many
blunders or neglects of commanding officers
were covered up during the three
days fight by tho heroism of
the boys in blue the world
will never know; but even tho disputed ques
tions between the officers may not be
equitably adjusted if the attendance of repre
sentative men is not complete. The absonce
of a single important witness may turn tho
whole scale of evidonce in an ordinary mur
der trial, and before a oomplete aud veritable
account of the details of one of the greatest
battles of the world can be compiled, every
essential link of testimony should be supplied.
This is even more essential at Gettysburg than
on ordinary battle-fields, not only on
account of tho magnitude and com
plicated nature of the movements
which occurred there, but on account
of the bitter controversies which have arisen
in regard to the struggle. Some of the most
important witnesses now olunibor in honored
graves. Reynolds, Sedgwick, Birney, Farns
worth, and many other officers are doad, and
Sickles, whose conduct has been severely
criticized, as well as many other officers who
took an active part in the conflict will neces
sarily be absent. At the best, any now deci
sions that may be roached will therefore not be
fortified at all points by absolutely conclusive
evidence, and some of the questions involved
will probably remain as open to future doubt
and dispute as they aro at this moment. If
the reunion results in an attostation of soma
of tho leading facts, this is perhaps all that
can be reasonably expected.
Iff Z2 W-TT O K It Z S ZVX 3.
from Our Own Correspondent,
New Yokk, August 21, 1SG9.
On (lit that
IWrii. Stowe hnn been Mn ripped I' ft
by Robert Bonner, at the rate of t-VK) per column
(payable lu roVI) to write the ''true dory" of all
the "separated" wives of distinction from
Charles Dickens' to Charles Sumner's, including
Matilda Heron aud not forgetting Sarah Ann
Leslie. Her "true story" of Lady Byron has
met with such remarkable and instant success,
is so Indicative of womanly intuition into char
acter and delicate appreciation of private mo
tives, that I should not be surprised were
that editor of the hard-cash conscience, Homier,
to throw over Mrs. Southworth altogether, aud
install the reckless "Atlantic Monthlyist" in her
place. One and all of the newspapers here join
in the attack upon her, and she is catchiug It
hot and heavy. If Mr. Bonner docs not succeed
in securing her services, I presume the New
York Sunday Mercury or the Day's Doings will.
The woman who possesses such a capability for
winning the confidences of injured wives, and
thou rushing with them iuto print, deserves to
be read by a much wider set of readers than the
perusers of the Atlantic amouut to. It is a pity
she has not the chance of repeating the experi
ment. It is high time to regard with suspicion
the inner lives of distinguished men who are
separated from their wives. Well may they
dread to die. The Great American Unmasker
Is abroad, aud the cofllu-lid shall scarcely close
over them ere their hearts will be "torn before
the crowd."
The DIlss (jrrlrmlc Clark
who some weeks ago (led from this country,
seized with the desire of becoming an actress,
has returned a wiser, but not necessarily a
sadder girl. She has had uothiug to make her
sadder. The salt-water has added a rose to her
complexion, aud during the trip she has gathered
ii wealth of health, for the lack of which nor gold
nor greenbacks could compensate. She was
discovered in obscure but comfortable lodgings
in Dublin, aud wa preparing to make her first
appearance iu one of those characters in which
Anna Cora Mowatt, in former years, created
such furore. Her ardor is a little damped, but
neither her nose nor her eyes have become
rubescent with the plaintive snivel of the re
pentant prodigal. She is a high-spirited, good
girl, who has been "out on a lark,"aud appears to
have enjoyed It considerably.
Madame l'arepa's
Senwin or English Opera
commences iu this city nt the French Theatre
three weeks from this evening. She has made
a goodly collection of prime donne and tenori,
aud during her recuperation nt the watcring
jilucoe has addod another tliin to Iho several
that already scollop the way to her lovely little
neck. Madame Rosa will appear in Balfc's
Puritan's Daughter, and perhaps will be pre
vailed upon to do "Juliet" or "Kosiua," in the
latter of which, because of the short dress, she
is said to present an extremely attenuated ap
pearance. Carl Rosa is goiug to be the busi
ness manager of the establishment, and Parepa
Rosa is going to be the business manager of
! him. Each having a suitable department to
attend to, harmony must be the result.
I am not surprised to learn that
Philadelphia Is (Jetting Short of Water.
Any city which permits its Biddies to wash
front pavements to the extent the front pave
ments of Philadelphia are washed before 7
o'clock of a Saturday morning, deserves such a
visitation us this. Fainnouut has for a long
time winked at the iniquity of this waste of
w ater, and can only remedy the evil by removing
the cause.
The efforts of a gang of New York roughs to
Itreak t'p a Picnic,
which took place a day or two ago at one of the
suburbs, have struck a heavy blow at these sum
mer jaunts. The Eimnett Guard, every member
of w hich was accompanied by oue or more
ladies, was celebrating some festal occasion,
when it was suddenly attacked by a crowd of
these runtime, whose choicest pleasure it Is to
insult women and children. In an instant the
happy pleasure-party were converted iuto the
actors of a scene which at one time bade fair to
end tragically. Fortunately the Emniett Guard
were too uumerously aud chivalrously repre
sented for the ruflians to make as much way as
they expected, although several of the Em
niett Guard were severely wounded. Coucy
Island Is one of the worst resorts of
these gangs, and It Is a wonder that, in spite of
all the efforts of the Commissioners, they have
not yet penetrated into Central Park. Pro
bably because, on making an attempt some
years ago, they met with their match at once,
and were put down in such a manner as gave
them no hope of any ultimate success. The
Emmett Guard affair, however, has put au end
to the picnic furore. It will sec no resurrec
tion until next summer. Au Baha.

Messrs Herring, Farkkl 4 Suekman, New
York Gentlemen : At the great Are here on Sun
day night la.it (Sth inst.), which covered an area of
two blocks, we had. two of your Safes in our building,
which passed safely through the ordeal. When llrst
discovered they were surrounded by burning lumber,
and bear evidence of having had a severe test, as our
place of business occupied seven lots, all covered
with buildings and lumber, all of which were en
tirely consumed, and to this heat the Safes were
exposed. It was with great satisfaction that we
found, upon cutting Into our Safes, as they were so
warped and swollen they could be opened In no
other way, that our books and papers and money
were all saved ; Indeed, tho bills came out of the Safe
without a singe, and nothing is discolored but the
binding of the books. Respectfully yours,
ACKERT 4 QUICK.
