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.

northern Pacific Railroad.
Rapid Progress of the Work.
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. They have 30
years to run, bear Sevea and Three-tenths per cent,
gold interest (more than 8 per cent currency), and
are secured by first and only mortgage on tne en
tir road and its EQUIPMENTS, and also, as fast as
the Road is completed, on
23,000 ACHES OP LAND to every mile of
track, or two Acres for each tiooo Bond. They are
exempt from United States Tax; Principal and In
terest are payable in Gold; Denominations: Cou
pons, fioo to f moo; Registered, $ioo to lio.ouo.
LANDS FOR BONDS Northern PaclUc T-30'S
are at all times receivable at ten per cent, above
pah, in exchange for the Company's Lands, at their
lowest cash price. This renders them practically
IhTERKPT-BEARINO LAND WARRANTS.
SINKING FUND. The proceeds Of all sales of
Lauds are required to be devoted to the repurchase
and cancellation of the first Mortgage Bonds of the
Company. The Land Grant of the Road exceeds
Fllty Million Acres. This Immense Sinking Fund
will undoubtedly cancel tne principal of the Com
pany's bonded debt btrore it falls due. With their
ample secnrlty and high rate of interest, there is no
Investment accessible to the people which is more
ritOMTABLR OR SAFE.
EXCHANGING V. S. FIVE-TWENTIES.
The success of the New Government 5 Per Cent.
Loan will compel the early surrender of United
States 6 per cents. Many holders of Flve-Twentfes
are new exchanging them for Northern PaotUo
Seven-Tblrties, thus realizing a handsome proUt, and
greatly Increasing their vearly income.
OTHElt SECURITIES. All marketable
Stocks and Bonds will be received at their highest
current price In exchange for Northern Paclllo
Seven-thirties. Express charges on Money or

will be psid by the Financial Agents. Full Informa
