Two ladies, out enjoying the fresh air, or brought forth by instinc tive fbrbodings of evil upon such dreadful occasions, wandered up the dark street, peering with curious eyes into the thick blackness surrounding the awful appear ance.

A second meeting of the Workingmen was called for, and brought to order by electing R. F. Cupples, chairman, and 1). H. Bell, secretary. The following pre amble and resolutions were submitted for approval, and unanimously adopted. Whereas, In our opinion, both the ex isting political parties have become so corrupt that they have lost sight of the interests of the great mass of the people, that the design of the government has been egregiously perverted, and that the exingency of the times demand that an effort should be put forth to effect a change in the political aspect of the government, and we believe the power remains alone with the working uiass of the people to effect the desired reformation, Resolved, That we, the Workingmen of Mittiin county, will bend all our ener gies, and use all honorable means to effect the change contemplated. Resolved, That we believe the time has arrived that the working class should select men from their own ranks to repre sent them in our State and National coun cils to the end, that we, the laboring men, may have equal legislation with the capi talist. Resolved, That we will sacrifice all po | litical predilections in order to carry into j effect the foregoing resolutions. ■ Joseph Newman, Win. T. Evey, 1 J. F. MeKinley, John A. Bowers, Jas. L.
