THE DaILT EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1871. 3 FBOM lESTERDAT'S Firril EDITIOX. FROM NEW 1011K. Annntl Meeting of the IKor Reform League. Nbw York, May 9 The Labor Reform League is holding its annual meeting to-day at 8teln way Hal). The audience at the morning ses sion consisted of about four hundred persons, chiefly laborers. Benjamin F. Sargent, of Bos ton, presided A.M. Powell read letters from Hon. Charles Snrnner regretting that be conld not attend the meeting and recommending Americans to give up the war dance around San Domingo. The annual report dealt with the South, the Indian and Chinese question, and recorded the movement inaugu rated by Julia Ward Howe for the promoting of peace by summoning a congress ot women to London. Wendell Fhilllps spoke nearly an hour, and chiefly dealt with Southern and labor question. He approved Mr. Sumner's San Domingo policy, and regretted the insult offered to him. There Is still, he said, a state of war with the South. General Butler, nnawed by gamblers and Rebel rings in New Orleans, executed Mulford. Let General Grant lay a band on the leaders in the South, men who count their acres by thou sands and are instigators of assassinations let tbe President follow Butler's plan, and you will never hear of Ku-klux again. (Applause.) Let the cowards ef Carolina know that the Presi dent Is terribly In earnest, and there will be an end of the Ku-klux. In reply to a voice asking, "What about carpet-baggers?" he said, the South is ignorant, poor, and ruled by departing barbarism, yet they repel a Northerner who goes down with evtrythlng they want, brains and money, but sly t unning. The Northerner remains to squeeze political power out of these pitiful babies. (Lmghter.) If the North has to take tip arms again they will stop at no constitutional restrictions or Slate lines, but put the South under the beel of military desposbm. On questions of labor he urged the R?publ!cins to adopt the labor reform Into their platfotm. He spoke of corruption in judges and city officials, and the legions of cowardly Sbylocks who dip their hands into the private fortunes of tbe city are teach ing tbe men with bludgeons, and said tbe next time the Bowery boys have a riot they may take it into their heads not to hang negroes to lamp posts, but to indulge in millionaires.

A GREAT LAUSC1I Successful Launching of a Monster Caisson for the East River Bridge of New York Narrow F. scape of Tug Boats. The New York roat of Monday evening says: The second great caisson of the East River bridge, which is to unite New York to Brooklyn, was successfully launched from Webb's ship yard, at the foot of Sixth street, East river, at seventeen minutes before 12 o'clock this morning. PREPARING FOR THE LAUNCH. Tke caisson was erected on a foundation of fourteen rows of "blocking," or short timbers laid one upon another in the fashion of a cob bouse. To prepare it for launching every other row of blocking was removed, and replaced by a sliding way. Ibe slides were composed or long timbers, the upper surface of which was coated by a composition of tallow and castlle soap. In order to prevent this sticky substance from gluing the timbers and the bottom of the caisson together, the timbers were also covered by a coating of oil, and numerous small holes wej-e drilled in them, into which oil was poured. Tbe timbers composing the sides were eleven by twenty-two inches in diameter. Wedges were tightly driven between the upper surface and the bottom of tbe caisson. The caieeon was built on an Incline of seven feet in tbe one hundred and two feet of its length. Hence, when the wedges and the rows of blocking were Knocked from under it, and its weight rested on the slippery surface of the slidiDg ways, it glided down them into the river. In order that the caisson might float securely, it was provided with a false bottom, which will have to be removed before sinking it. The tug Tebo was the nearest to the caisson, and as the latter drove the water before it in a huge mound, it seemed that the little tug would certainly be drove upon the others and crushed like a pipe-stem. As it was, she was hurled forward and her bow was dashed between the Starbuck and the southern bulkhead, and beyond the starting of her bulwarks and the crashing of several small boats no great damage was done. AN EXCITING SCENE. As soon as the pilots of the other tugs saw the danger that threatened them, they rang the engine bells and were just able to start ahead in time to save themselves from being sunk or crushed. 1 he police boat Seneca lay to about twenty yards distant from the pier bead, and Eerceiving the situation of affairs evidently efore those on the tugs, Captain Todd shouted to them of their perilous position, and be gave the warning not an instant too Boon. ON THE CAISSON the people seemed also to be greatly alarmed; and those who stood on the side nearest the vessels hastily retreated to a distant place. At first the caisson moved slowly, and then gradu ally increased the speed of tbe descent until just before the caisson reached a level in the water it teemed to those on boats in the East river that the water would pour in billows over her huge sides. In a trifle over a minute the launch was successfully made and all the danger over. Then a shout arose, and cheers were uttered from five thousand throats that the caisson was in the water, and that what but a minute before threatened to be a catastrophe was nothing but a terrifying, but excusable, scare. AFTER THB LAUNCH, the caisson was made fast by ropes to the neigh boring piers, as the ebb tide rendered it neces sary to postpone its removal to the other side of the river. To-morrow morning it will te towed by six steam tugs to the foot of Noble street, Greenpoint, where it will lie until removed to its final place of anchorage. Five o'clock, just before flood tide, is the hour assigned for start ing. It is thought that the voyage will eccupy about an hour and a half. The caisson draws thirteen feet of water, or about the same as the Brooklyn caisson. SPEOIAL NOTICES. OFFICE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD COMPANY, Philadelphia, May 1, 1S71. NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS.

The building of the Northern Taclflo Railroad (begun July last) is beinir pushed forward wltu great energy from both extremities of the line. Several thousand men are employed in Minnesota and on the Pacific coast. The grade is nearly completed ilO.O miles westward from Ike Huperlor; trains are running over 130 miles of finished road, and track laying Is rapidly progressing towards the eastern border of Dakota. Including its purchase of the St. Paul and Pacific Road, tbe Northern Paclfio Company now has 413 miles of completed road, and by September next this will be Increased to at least 500. A GOOD INVESTMENT, Jay Cooke k Co. are now selling and unhesitatingly recommend. as a Prolltable and perfectly Safe Investment, the First Mortgage Land Grant Gold Bonds of tne Northern Pacific Railroad Company.
