Tlio harsh law of Kngland on thl-t subject, mado when labor wat substantially owned by llio ruling classes, ntid tlie laborer was a nicro vassal, was repealed by a statuto ol George, lVth. Tho strict rule of thocominou law, however, was previously introduced Into this country, and whilst liotolijcctionablo in many instances, became, harsh on labor un ions and other similar associations, who sought by combination to better their pecu niary condition. Judged were swift to en force and enlarge It. In other states it was long sinco repealed, tho Now York Assembly wiping it out in 1870. In 1870 occurred tho terriblo'strlko In the Anthracite coal field. About $300,000,000 of capital combined to striko down 60,000 laboring men and makolhem mero corporate machines. Thclstriko.failcdnndtho contest was carried to tho Legislature, but there capital again won. Violations of chartered privileges, injury to tho public, and robbery of tho .Stato were amply proven, but Sena tor turned a deaf car to all this. True, quo ' warranto were issued by tho Attorney Clou- oral, but they havo never been heard of since. Immediately after tho wholo question of arbitrament was submitted to Judge Klvvell as Umpire; who ircallinned tho Conspiracy law as generally understood, and fixed a ba sis unrtcr which tho men resumed work. Hut tho operators wero, bent on vengcanco and at onco commenced a number of suits for conspiracy iu fact for doing what they and dozens of other organizations had dono for years, viz: combino for mutual aid and Btipport. Ono such indictment was bronght in Columbia county against James Kcnloy and others, in which tho writer appeared for defendants. Soon after. Sir. Brockway was sent to tho Legislature, and his first act was nu at tempt to repeal tho iniquitous law, and ho offered'tho following Bill: lie it enacted, etc., That from and after tho passago of this act it shall bo lawful for any laborer or laborers, workincman or workiocmcn, journeyman or journeymen, acting either as individuals or as the member or any club, society or association, to refuse to work or labor for any person or persons whenever, in his, her or their opinion, tho wages paid are insufficient, or tho treatment of such laborer or laborers, workingman or workingmen, journeyman or journeymen, by his, ner or their employer is brutal or of fensive, or tho continued labor by such la borer or laborers, workingman or working men, journeyman or journeymen, would be contrary to tho rules, regulations or by-laws of any club, society or organization to which he, she or they might belong, without sub jecting any person or persons, bo refusing to work or labor, to prosecution or indictment for conspiracy under tho criminal laws of this commonwealth: Provided, Thatthisact Bhall not bo held to apply to tho member or members of any club, society or organiza tion, tho constitution, ;by-laws, rules and regulationns of which aro not in strict con formity to tho constitution of tho Stato of Pennsylvania and to tho constitution of the Unitod States. This was vlolcntlylopposed in Committee, and Itonly passed by accepting tho amend ment of Mr. Lawshc, of Clearfield a coal operator whichjwas as follows: Provided, That nothing herein contained shall prevent the prosecution and punish ment, under existing laws, of any person or persons who shall, in any way, hinder persons who desire to labor for their employers from so doing, or other persons from being em ployed as laborers. This is tho history of tho conspiracyJAct of 1872. Wo now learn that some judges;difier as to tho construction'.of this Act, and to obviate futuntrouble, Senator Bcchtol, of Schuyl kill, proposes tho following: A supplement to an Act to relievo labor ers, workingmen and jnurneyineu from cer tain prosecutions and indictments for con spiracy under tho criminal lawsof this Cum monwAlth, approved tho 14th day of Juno, 1872, section 1 of which provides that tho second section of said act shall bo so con strued that tho use of lawful or peaceful wean8i shall not be regarded as in any way hindering persons who desire to labor, and that tho use of forco or threats of harm to persons or property shall alone bo regard ed as in any way hindering persons who do sire to labor for their employers from bo doing, or other persons from being employed as laborers. Wo think the originalAct was sufficiently clear and 'strong, but we also know how many judges torture languago to carry out tho behests of either politicians or wealthy corporations'; and therefore urge all our rep resentatives to voto for itspassage. Tho workingmen only demand fair play in legislation, and beforo tho Courts. If rail roads, Masons, Odd Fellows, lawyers, doctors. and all other classes having mutual interests may legally combine, why not tho laboring classes? If an organization' of tradesmen or farmers bo legal, why not an association of those in tho' humblerjjwalks of life? If . corporations say they havo a charter fiom tho Stato to enable them to perform cer tain specified duties, so havo tho labor asso ciations; and unlike tho former never step beyond the boundary. If the object be to pauperize labor tho en- tiro commuuity will suffer, and vagabondage and trampism will increase. In China labor command three centa per day, and men worked on tho Suez Canal for eight cents per day, but lnj this country there Bhould be work for all at remunerative wages. We demand that labor Bhall bo freo, aud not bound hand and foot to soulless corporations, nor crushed by uuwiso legislation. THE INAUGURATION. Last week wo gavo an account of tho In nuguratlon of Gov. Hartranft for a second Term. Tho display was imposing in tho ex treme. The military portion of it, was well conducted and proves that Pennsylvania has a well disciplined militia. Thofirocompa' nles also made a creditable appearance. The numerous political clubs wero In bad taste and Bhould havo been kept from tho proccs slon. Wo do Jnot! sco tho propriety of n gran expensive display such as this, however, in a form of government similar to ours. Tho elevation of n citizen to ofiico is no excuse for pageants, such as wero witnessed last week, and wero a mild Imitation of tho cere- monies used In monarchlal governments, Let us get back to tho simplicity of the fathcis of our country, and follow tho prece dents they established. Besides, in times liko theso tho utmost economy thould prevail in nil Departments nnd there is no excuso for tho useless expen diture of thousands of dollars on a mere idle show, or to gratify Philadelphia roughs and bummers with a Irce ride and a free drunk at Harrbburg.

Wo understood It to bo a National celebra tion, without regard to location, sect, or politics; and ono deserving tho Biipport of every true American citizen. But it seems that thcro Is n premeditated attempt to uso It in behalf of tho Republican party, or clso kill it Blalno attempted to drlvo from It South ern Biipport by his Inccudlary speech, The 7Vfs uses tho following languago ; It has never been conceded to any party to mako uso of Independence Hall tun place Tor political meeting!., nnd wo liopo it never will be, as the locality is too Bacred to bo wed for such purposes, nnd particularly by n party which originated tho doctriuo of tho right of secession. Wo sco that tho Demo cratic State Executive, Commlttco a dav or two sinco lias recommended that tho Hall bo ucd on tho coming Fourth of July as a proper place for holding a Democratic Con clave. At any time such a use of tho Hall, by any party, would bo n pollution; but at this particular period to allow tho Democ racy to meet thcro for deliberation would be n degradation iu tho eyes of tho foreigners whom wo expect to havo In Philadelphia on that occasion. In tho eyes of tho pes plo of Kuropo, who havo closely watched the. development and progress of tho Ameri can Union, the Democratic party of Ameri ca is regarded as the implacablo foe of llio Union, and to tho extent that tho Union is the embodiment of civil and religious liber ty, tho bitter enemy of that also; and, there fore, to scon body' representing that party deliberatinc in Independence Hall on the Fourth of July, 1870, would bo conclusive cvidenco to tho foreigner that tho enemies ol tlio Union liavo possession of its most sa cred places, and tlio strugglo for Union nnd r ii.;... i. ;.nt ,i.ivr i.v. ii J.lutl.J 13 B.

Mrs. McKenzie, tho wlfo of a well known citizen of Montreal, eloped with Lieutenant Brydges last week, and tho pair sought re fuge in New York. Both aro respectably connected and moved in tho highest circles of society. Brydges is tho son of tho Sup erintendent of tho Grand Trunk Railway. Being discovered in New York, they left' there, he with tho intention of going to Philadelphia, and she to return to Montreal. On Monday night last tho names of "Mr. aud Miss Brydges of Phoenixvillo" were registered nt tho Continental hotel, nnd of course, Miss Brydges was no other than Mrs, McKenzie. The father of Brydges, and the attorney of Mclvcnzio called on them un expectedly, and tho result was that sho re turned to Montreal, her injured husband agreeing to allow her a divorce.whcn sho can bo united to her singular love. Sho is tho mother of four children, two of which sho brought witli her to New York. Tho scan dal has produced much excitement. A MKItlTlilTliKllUKE. The evident attempt by tho Radicals to stir up tho passions of tho past, and tiro tho "southern heart" lias signally failed. The Confederate soldiers in Congress quietly en dured the taunts of Blaine aud other stay-at- homo politicians.

Gov, Tilden has refused to pardon Stokes for the murder of Col. Jim l-'isk.

Abraham Piko was a rather worthless fellow doing but llttlo good for himself and still less to others, wander ing around from houso to houso retailing his Munchausen talcs, thereby securing his whisky, bread and n warm corner by tho fire, on tho strength of his wonderful ex ploits as relnted by himself. I have heard an incident related of him for which nt this dis tant day I cannot vouch, ho had procured the services of boiqc ono of tho many "his torians" of tho Wyoming Valley to wrlto his "memoirs;" tho ready writer proceeded until liocamntn n caso of sheep stealing in which Piko had been engaged, tho writer as an honest man insisted upon inserting tho transaction, whilo Piko sworo roundly that It should not bo put down which cut tho "memoirs" of this wonderful man short, and deprived tho world nt largo of a full kndwl edge of his heroic deeds. My Father was well acquainted with tlio boy Rodgers, who Van Campcn relates was captured from tho Wyoming settlements nnd was present at tho killing of tho Indians. Ho told tho samo story that Van. Campcn did, and further more said ho did not contradict Piko unless specially appealed to,as tho poor old fellow's Whisky and living depend in a great meas ure upon his self glorification, Pikodlodas ho lived, a pauper. Tho absurdity of Tiko's claim to killiug tho Indians in ordinary times would have been hooted at,but at that timo tho passions of Y'ankco and Pcnnamito ran so high that almost any tale reflecting to tho discredit of tho Pcnnamito was received without question, Moses Van Campen was a man of considerable ability, great energy and undoubted courago as is seen and proved by his being chosen to comand in Buch dangerous times, nnd his continuance iu positions requiring courago and ability.

Ilarrislmrg Letter. , IlAiimsnuna, Jan. 25th. 1870. Recovering promptly from tho effects of the Governor's inauguration, botli branches of the Lcgislatnro during last week accom plished something of legislation. Tho mooted question of tho incrcaso of sal aries forjudges, agitated again this year, has probably received a final quash by the action of the lower Houso in adopting an amend ment to tho buprcmo Judges' bill, settling tho salary of the Chief Justico at $7,500,aud of llio Absociato Justices at $7,000. As this bill was considered to be tho "cnterine: wedgo' ' for tlio introduction of last year's country judge bill, its nullification has dis posed of tho last named measuro as well. Tho last expiring efforts of thefrlcnds of an in crease of salaries werowitnessed in thoHouso this morning. An attempt was mado by Mr. Smith, of Chester, to givo to tho Supremo Judges, in audition to the salaries named in tlio adopted amendment, a milcago of twen ty cents per milo. This proposition was dis agreed to, and although tho Houso adjourn ed without a voto on tho second reading of tlio bill, it will undoubtedly pass that read ing, and finally. The financo bill, so called, having for its object tho diversion of certain of tho reve nues of tho Sinking Fund into the general revenuo fund lias been well advanced toward final passage, its third reading in tho Houso without further amendment having been compassed tills morning. Another amendment to tho bill, however. is urged beforo it becomes a law. Tho bill requires tho State Treasurer to mako n monthly statement of tho banks, &c, with whom tho money of tho Sinking Fund is de posited, and tho interest paid for the uso of tho same. Tho amendment proposed has for its object tho expansion of "tho word in terest so as to includo premium, bonus or any other consideration for tho uso of the money. An attempt will possibly bo mado to insert this amendment when tho bill comes up for consideration in tho Senate. Among the other bills which passed the Houso finally this morning, may bo noted ono giving to nssignees for tho benefit of creditors tho power to Bell real cstato encum bered with liens, where personal property will not cover the debts in such a maunor that a good title may bo secured to tho pur chaser. Tlio measuro increasing tho pay of arbi trators to $2 per day has met with tho fato of its compeer last year, gono to meet tho judges' salary bill. Tho Senate is progressing In its usual gravo and rovcrend manner, Tho monotony of steady work is, however, occasionally bro ken by a well-pointed witticism on tho part of tho Hon, Horatio Gaber Jones, Philadel phia's superb Senator, or tho irrcprcssiblo Wood, of Alleghany, which gcntUmen aro acknowledged wags of tho Senate. Senator Wood's latest is a resolution returning tho tlinnks of tho Senato to tho "Ground Hog" for tho able and efficient manner in which he has assisted "Old Probabilities" in taking care of the weather ; also, makiug "Grouud Hog Day" a legal holiday. Tlio offering of such a resolution as this may bo deemed a usoless wasto of time, but Mr. Wood's object In offering it was that ho might bo afforded an opportunity of giving his opinion at a fu ture timo upon the deplorable habit which tho members of the Houso havo fallen into of offering absurd resolutions on every occa slon. Speaking oi resolutions of this kind recalls to my in I ml tho very poor attempt at a joko made by Mr. Losch, member from Schuylklll,last night In offering a resolu tion of censure upon Congressmen Stringer, Cochran and others for their lato action in regard to tho Centennial bill, and providing for the purchase of a "leather medal nnd tin whls'tlo for their personal uso.

Governor Chamberlain, of South Carolina, has addressed nu important letter to n prom inent Republican Senator in Washington, from which wo print tho following ex tracts : I took my scat ns Governor December 1, 1874, and I addressed myself earnestly to tho work of keeping tho pledges I had mado nnd tho pledges mado for mo by all my friends nnd by our plat-form In tho cam paign, I soon found that many of thoso who supported mo In tho campaign nnd had tailed reform did not want reform ; but I pcreovcrcd, determined, as n matter of right and of good policy, to ndhcro to my party platform and pledges. Of courso thoso who disliked practical reform cried out : "Ho la going over to the Democrats. Ho wonts social recognition from tho rebels," nnd all tho rest of thoso senseless cries bucu ns you now hear about mo. Still I pcrsovcred, and when our Legislature nut in November last thcro was apparent hnrmony b)tween roc and party and n complcto ncquicsccnco In tho wisdom of tho policy of roform as carried out by mo. What, then, is the mat ter with mo ? Why was I disliked and de nounced by somo members of my own party? Simply for this : I insisted on reasonablo taxes, competent officers, honest expendi tures, fair legislation nnd no stealing, nnd the Democrats praised mc for it. Tho twojlast things nro my offense I did not sanction schemes of public plunder, such ns our printing ring, for instance, but tho cost of public printing per year was cut down from $180,000 to $50,000, nnd contingent funds from $80,000 to $27,000, and I repeat, tho Democrats praised me, Such was tho condi tion of affairs hero on tho lfilii day of last December. Tho Democracy of South Caro Una was in perfect collapse No Stato Issues could havo given them lifo or activity. It is doubtful whether even nationnl issues would havo had torco enough to havo in duced a canvass of the Stato for tho Demo cratic candidates In tho coming Presidential campaign under tho circumstances then ex isting. On tho 10th of December last, tho General Assembly, under influence which It is impossible now to State fully, elected F. J. Moses, Jr.,and W. J. Whipper as Judges of tho.Circuit Court of this state, tho latter for tho circuit which cmbraccsho city of (Junrleston and constitutes tho most impor tant circuit of tho Stato in point of popula tion, wealth and business. Aro you nwnro who these men aro? Moses was my pre decessor as Governor. Unless tho uuivcrsal belief among nil classes of people in this Stato is mistaken, ho is as infamous n character as over in any age disgraced and prostituted public position. Disappointed in not being renominated for Governor, ho entered into a conspiracy with some of tho leaders of tho Democracy and independent Republicans to elect my opponent, and actually sold out tho Commissioners of Elections, of whom ho liad the solo appoint ment, to my opponents for. $30,000, of which $10,000 was paid to him in cash, and tho rest mado contingent on tho election of my opponent. Of Whipper it can bo said that ho seems to havo lacked oniy opportunity to prove himself the equal of Moses in infamy. Ignorant of law, ignorant of morals, a gambler by open practice, an embezzler of public funds, ho is fns unfit for judicial po sition as any man whom by possibility you could name. Neithor of these men have even tho poor qualifications, which the in famous Democratic Judges of New York had, of such a degrco of legal knowlcdgo sis to qualify them for tho intelligent discharge of any judicial duty. What has been the result? Their election has sent a thrill of horror through tho wholo State. It has split tho Republicans in twain. Tlio moribund Democracy havo awakened to now lifo and new hopes. No man who respects civiliza tion nnd public decency can do less than de nounce thcBO elections without measuro. No decent man can do less than oppose tlicm,can do less than fight against thoso who elected them or who acquiesce in them. Doyoucxpect us to do in South Carolina what you would sooner loseyourrightarm than do iu your own Stato? Such a test, indeed, could never nriso in tho latter, but it has arisen hcrc,and you err wholly if you imagine that you, liv ing hero, would for ono moment think of tol erating these elections. You could not do it, and you would spurn as an insult tho suggestion of supporting or acquiescing in them. And hero let mo speak plainly. To cry "Democrat" at mo is to support Moses and Whipper. I am n Republican of just ns many years standing as I havo seen years of discretion. I havo no tendency to any other party no association, no sympathy with any other party. I want to Beo South Carolina remain a Republican State, but I tell you no party can rule this Stato that supports Whipper nnd Moses, and to denounco us who aro to-day denouncing tho electiou of theso men is to support them. Thcro is but one way to savo tho Republican party in South Carolina, and that way is, I repeat, to unload Moses and Whipper and all who go with them. It will bo difficult to rcstoro confidenco in a party whoso members were once capable of such an act as their election, but if our action is prompt and decided, if you and tho Republicans at Washington will put your feet upon such things and stamp them out, wo can yet mako South Carolina and keep her as safely Republican ns Ver mont or Iowa. If this is not dono, wo go down hero ns a party to hopeless and deserv ed defeat and Infamy. Neither the adminis tration at Washington, with all its appli ances, civil and military, nor nil tho denun ciations of tho world heaped upon mo can savo tho Republican party hero from over whelming defeat during this year, unless wo can pcrsuado tho people of this Stato that audi things as thesp judicial elections will bo undono, and never, by any possibility, bo repealed. Phila. Times Just as wo Expected. On Wednesday of last week, during Gar field's speech, when allusion was mado to tho courso of tho Domocrats iu regard to wounded Federal soldiers employed In the Houso, Mr. Southard, of Ohio, roso, sub m it ted a list showing that out of ono hund red and fifty-thrco employees tho last Con gross gavo places to only eighteen Federal soldiers, whilo tho present Congress out of clglity-fivo employees has chosen twenty-six Federal soldiers. Afterwards a statement was published by Door-Kccpor Fltzhugh, showing that in his single department aloiio thirty Union soldiers havo been given posi tions, iu addition to nino colored men and ono colored womau. Theso figures "knock tho wind" out of tho agitators, aud will con vince tho peoplo how little rclianco is to bo placed upon their stories. Wo renew our prediction of two weeks ago, that when tho Houso appointments aro all mudo It will bo found that twlco tho number of Union sol diers havo been given places that wero iu tho scrvlcoof tho lost Republican House.

Haralson, tho colored member of Congress from Alabama, who voted for tho amnesty bill nnd was applauded by tho Dem ocrats, has written a curious letter to ono of his friends In defenso of his political course Tho letter Is ndilrcrssed to Cashln, n colored ninn, nnd Coon, to whom referenco Is made, Is a "carpet-bagger" of tho Spencer strlpo. Tho following Is the latter": Housr, OF RlU'ltE8F.NTATIVE8, WASHING TON, January 10,1870. Dear (Xtshin, Yours of tho IGthinst. tohnnd, nnd contents noted. I expected boforo I voted- to hear n howl from thoso hell-hounds below, but say to them nil that, God being my help. I shall meet them nt Phllllppl. My explanation for voting for goncrnl amnesty Is :(l)Becauso it is right nbovoall. (2)Bccauso I was clcctod on that prlnciplo ; our platform adopted at tho Republican Convention at Montgom ory, 1874, says "that tho Republicans of Alabama demand tho equal civil and politi cal rights of all men beforo tho law." (3) Becauso I am n Grant man, and Grant rec commended general amnesty. !) Becauso tho colored man In the South wants peaco and good will to nil and hatred to none, and n-iks for others whit ho desires for himself- an equal clmnco In tho raco of lifo. Wo, as a race, cannot afford to aid In any manner in keeping tipMnlii for tlio benefit of office hunters. Allow mo to nsk your attention to n few questions which I hopo you will put to Coon, Rapier, Cintla and others (1) is it better for us colored men to forget and forgive, nnd havo tho good will of tlio world.or is it better for us to' stir up tho cruelties of tho past, and ourselves suffer, in order that Coon A Co. may profit thereby ? Do I represent the truo principles of Repub licanism nnd our party when I strivo to put the seal of peace and god-wlll upon ani mosity ? Is it not better for us in general especially in tho South, that thcro bo good feeling between both whlto and black ? Is it not better that tho leading colored men tako this thing in hnnd and build up our race, build up our party upon tho truo principle.! of right nnd justice, of Republicanism, and drivo thoso who nro striving to rido into offico on projudico into tho blackest politi cal hell ? Is it not tho truth that such men as Rapier, Coon and others aro tho eolo causo of our party being defeated in Alabama to day? Don't you think thero nro thousands of white men iu Alabama who would gladly join tho ranks of tho Republican party upon tho strong principles of right, justico, good for all, and evil for none ? Wo must drive out theso hell-hounds nnd go in for peaco between tho two races South. Truly yours, Jf.iie. Haralson, One of tho scnsiblo things connected with Saturday's proceedings in Congress was tlio introduction of a bill appointing a Commis sion to inquiro into tho causes of tho de struction of our forests nnd tho means neces sary to prcscrvo them.
