' The President transmitted to the Senate; a
ev days ago, a communisation fr om Governor
the Sicietary:Of War, In regard to the
difficultitel : Mi the Texas frontier.. ' appears
froth this report, that in February, 1869, Gene
ral Twines, then commanding the military de
partment-of Texas,lstmed orders directing the
abandonment-of Fort Browne, Ringgold bar
racks, and Fort - Mackintesh--,posts tin, the
- Rio Grande Which were` each' garrisoned.by a
” single Company , of troops. Re dilfilled, these
orders with.the verbal approval of, Lieutenant
:General Soo', but, Withent . ,ffirect . authority
l'iam the 'War Department, and, in, a letter
dated San Antonio; March 2.8,1869, justified
hie course by- stating that' there Waif no danger
of MexiCans invading the 'Thai 'side of the
to plunder or disturb American citizens,
and that the Chief foundation for the outcry
mid° against the removal of the troops was
caused by the desire of the Texans to have
• our soldiers quartered among them, not for
Airoteetlon froth invasion; but to obtain the
money expended by the Government for their
support 1 and is their assistance was needed to
repel indian invasions In other quarters, Ge
neral Twiees deemed It proper to employ
there for that pirpose. ' ,
/to well-founded apprehensions of danger

tertained until - September, 1869, when Cos-
Turas entered Brownsville and murdered seve
".rafeitizens, besides committing repeated acts

Tivioes took prompt measures to restore &an
"• 44114 in the disturbed region. On the 12th
of November he reported to the Department
_ that he had received intelligence that Browns
vine had been burnt, and one hundred Ameri
', tens bY •CORTLICUI, and that he had Or•••
':'dared out seven companies 'of foot and two of

• Department, immediately upon receiving this
intelligence, also directed that a large number

;Monroe; but on the 21st of November, it ra
mbled a second despatch from Gen. Two:3es,
stating that most of the reports concerning

A National Panic.
There is a lively farce called lc Frightened
to Diath," . the-fAof whicheonsists in a silly
fellow being needlessly alarmed at trifles. , .It
strikes us that nit ancient friend Mr.. John
Bull is perfectly able, Just now, to perform the
leading character in that, diverting play. lie
is frightened to death atthe idea of a French
invasion, and has not le good sense to avoid
showing his alarm.
The expenditure of England, in 1860, for
military and naval defences, will amount to
$150,000,000. This Is in a period of peace
-with all the world, except China, and there are
hopes that the misunderstanding there is ca
pable of being removed by a fresh diplomatic
einbastiy. In 1880, the last year of the Duke
of, WELLINGTON'i administration, the charges
`for the army, navy, and ordnance of England
Were $67,600,000. , The difference is worth
noting.
In fact, John Bull has lost his pluck. . Fifty
years ago,an enthusiastic lyrist flattered 'the
ruitional ride, by, singing how Britannia need
,ed no bulwarks, no tower along the steep . ;
how. her march was o'er the mountain waves,
and her, home was on the deep; and bow,
with thunders from her native oak, she quelled
the floods below, , ,
- W As h th ea er th roa se r to ° rm nd r ie w a l h o o da re do blow.
All is changed. Steam has made it of corn-
Iteratively little importance how .‘ the stormy
winds do blow,", and instead of native oak,
iron plates make vessels of war.
Not only is England terribly frightened
but she makes a point of confessing it, whic h
is a strange way of averting an expected as
sault. The other day, Ifr. WlLltiat
one of the British Ministry, and step-son of
Lord Paxmansrox, the virtual ruler of Eng
land, made an election-speech to his constitu
ents at Hertford. Making a clean breast of
he epoke:es follows:
"He was ono of. those who believed that the
Bmperor of the French was willing to be friendly
with this country, and in all his nets be evinced a
friendly disposition; end It was only natural that
this should be the ease from his knowledge of the
people and the institution, of this tonnt7, and his
being aware of the great importance of being on
friendly terms with such a power as England. He
(Mr. Cowper) knew very well, however, that this
was net the feeling , entertained by all Frenchmen,
and that among the soldiery in particular a very
general idea prevailed that England was very
rich and at the ram time very weak, and that it
would take them very little trouble to march to
London and help themselves toes many bank notes
end sovereigns as they might choose to carry away.
There could be no doubt that we ware not ruffifeient
ly p spared to oppose a hostile attack, and the
Government had merely carried out the wishes of
the country in plaotag our fleet and army in its
present position; and this was the 0111130 of the large
:lath:lsooy in the revenue to which he had advert
ed, and he was quite sure that no Englishman
would be so mean or so evasion:us as to object to
an expenditure for imoh a purpose. True, the ten.
penny income tax was not pleasant ; but he thought
tbey.would agree with him that it was better to
submit to this than to be subject to the feeling of
insecurity that had prevailed, and the periodical
pantos that bad arisen with regard to the defense.
leas state of the country."
This Is plain speaking, at any rate. He did
not distrust NAPOLEON, but believed that the
French soldiery wlshe.d to .march upon and
plunder London, and he—a confidential Minis
ter of the Crown—mournfully adds, ic There
can be no doubt that we are not sufficiently
prepared to oppose a hostile attaci."
This is a confession of weakness, publicly
made by one of the British Cabinet. He is
a Whig, but, oddly enough, is confirmed by
the great organ of the Tory party—by
Blackwood's Magazine for February.
That authority declares that the augmenta-
lion of the army and navy of England "is
not, a question of mere' expenditure; it is a
question of safety." Again, Blackwood says:
"Cost there must be. Defence is costly, and
defence is now a national policy. The nation.
has Willed it.' It is a question only as to what
are its most necessary elements. We are
planning a system of national defences. Our
harbors are to be fortified, the assailable points
of, our coast protected; and tho outlay is esti
mated at ten millions. This is good, very
good. Our' arsenals should not be open to
attack, our shores to invasions; but it will
be a new thing for the flag of England to find
protection behind batteries. Our first fight
should be fought on the seas. Fortifications
are a necessary. element orour defence--not
the first. The creation of a navy which shall
command the seas should be the lint demand
on the country's resources."
-There is very little chance of NsroLsori
Invading England. - If he did it, and was suc
cessful, Eiitopsprevent
his retaining it as a Subjugated province.
But, if anything can tempt him: to cross the
Channel, land a few hundred thousand soldiers
on the English coast, and march upon Lon
don, it is this eternal plaint and confession, by
all parties, that England is so weak, by sea
and land, as to be almost defenceless, if dan
ger came: Surely, this is unworthy of a great
nation—which England has been.
rnbhc Amnsemente.
'Acensur or Moarc.—Next to Adelina Patti's
Benefit on Friday evening, the fullest house for sere-
Sal seasons, was that which witnessed the perform
anus, on Saturday evening, of Verdi's "Sicilian
Vespers." The manner in which this opera ie
placed upon the stage, with a perfectly unequalled
mire en scene, ie sufficient to constitute it as a first
class show-piece. here we most say, on par en
thug, that nothing can be In worse taste than the
advertisements which declare that the ball
room scene covers "over 1,500 yards of canvas,
at a total expenditure of $1,600." This is
what Tbackeray would call snobbish. Singing
and what little Plocolominl Beaulieu/1y designa
ted "so dollaires," is what people chiefly look for
loan opera. On Saturday evening, Stigelli took
the rdle which silver-vetoed Brignoli had previous.
ly filled, and acquitted himself very well. So did
Perri and Junes. But the greatest animal was
Madame Cohum's. It seemed as if the wondrous
combination of excellencies which unite in Pau
line Colson were never properly appreciated in
t'hiladelphia until this evening. Youth, beauty,
voice, and dramatic execution to/d—at last. En
cores, bouquet-showers, and applausea ad libitum
fully acknowledged the groat merit of Madame
Pauline Colson—who le, by many degrees, the very
best eantatrica yet heard within the walls of our
Academy of Music. The company perform in
Baltimore this evening, and appear in Washington
next week. Perhaps, on their return, Pauline
Colson and Adelina Patti may again be heard here,
for a few evenings?
AIICENSTREST TOEATRE.—Mr. Collins appears
here this evening, in a three-act comedy written
for him by Mr. Brougham, and not previously per
formed' here. it Is nailed "The Fortune-ilunt
ere ;" and he will also perform in tho Irish extra
vaganza called "The Magic shirt." In the
course of the evening he wilt sing five songs, in
cluding*" The Flag of Our Union," for which Vin
cent Wallace has written the music. "The Don
ble.bedded Boom " will also be played.
117 ALNIIVISTEZET THEATIOL—Miss Davenport
commences an engagement here this evening, and
will appear as Leonia Armtek in her own trans
lation and adaptatiOn of the French play "Menai-
Banco." We betray no confidence, we hope, when
we say that a new dramatizatlonveliaott'a " Heart
of Mid-Lothian," to, be produced at this theatre,
during the wee, has been executed by Miss Da
venport herself, who has suffielent teat, education,
and judgment to qualify her for a much more im
portant literary undertaking. Miss Davenport
will herself sustain the obaraoter of Jeanie Deans
--the true heroine of the piece. The part of Ells
Deane will be played, we believe, by a fair and
youthful debutante, niece of one of the most die
tinguithed female authors of this pity. Mrs. Anna
Cowell, it is said, will take the part of !ledge
Willifre, and Mrs. Duffield, of course, will ap
pear as Queen Caroline. Mrs. Duffield so very
seldom plays, that many of her friends doubt
whether she really does belong, any longer, to this
theatre. Her performance of the Queen will dis
sipate these doubts. .
Nariont. Tuascwa—Ella Zoyara had a benefit
on Saturday evening, and rode, and jumped,
danced and smiled, to the gratification of a orowded
house. She has gone (it is said) to New Orleans—
or other parts unknown. The dramatic, season ban
closed, at this theatre, and Mr, Rice, over on the
qui vies for attraotive novelty, introduces, thin
evening and during the week, a eerie' of ogees
trian effects wholly new In this city. The whole
stage being removed, as far as Sansom street, and
its area made level with the elrong, - a fedthlal repre
sentation of -an English Steeple Chase will be
'given—presented, in faot, in a two•act drama, full
of varied monk) and equestrian effects. Thereoan
be no doubt of the attraction of thin piece. In ad
dition, various scenes lir the ring will follow, and
normal, will Mr. T. Neville give bin equestrian
feats, but Mr. Tony Pastor, the well-known Clown,
appears for the first time,, also. Ambassador
"Ward's Mission to China" is underlined here,
and will shortly be produced.
MoDortortan's Gsrernts.—This evening Felix
Carlo's new eomto pantomime of "The Goblin of
the Wood, or The Dwarf of St. Michael's," will be
brought out here—with a lot of the Carlo troupe in
it. An ascent of a man on a wheel, with a de
ment on the same; another Carlo tossing uncounta
ble somersaults in an astonishing way ; and, with
other matters of amusement, the drama of "Rob
Roy," with the hero represented by Hernandez,
are also In the programme, A new Chinese piece
Is in preparation. '
Station Burt continues "on hand " every eve
ning, end on the afternoons of Wednesday and
Saturday, at his new Temple of Wonders, N. E.
00110 of Tenth and Chestnut streets.
TRIODOR'iI ART Mvssum.—This !erg clever and
ettletfosl eafilbition will certainly °loge at the sad
of this week. It unites pictorial, meohanleab and
musical effects of no ordinary merit, and has al
ready held its ground, amid much competition, in
a"mannar satisfactory to the public'.
Two Myxne BISTastS —These juvenile vocalists
hare a concert this evening, at Concert Hall, as•
sided by Mr. (Mario Jarvis on the piano.
Mr. K. A. Perry, late of the Walnut•street Thea
tre, was announced to appear at the Lyceum Thea
tre, in flan Francisco, on the 20th ult., as Young

Letter from Lake Superior.
Correspondence or Thal,ress.l
SUPERIOR CITY, Feb. 20,1880
Superior is a greet city, as laid out on paper,
and in giving accounts of its progress, the various
additions should not be overlooked. I was as
toniehed and pleased At the number and variety of
names given by the various owners to the broad
streets and noble avenues of their dot:nein!. I will
describe a few of them: Barnosi' addition, 160
acres about, is laid out on paper, scale 200 feet to
an itich ; the lots are 25 feet front by 120 deep.
As American names were probably scarce, the
streets were called Caspian, Baltic, Azolit Ama.
son, do. Engle d, Carson's addition, 100 acres,
lots 25 by 120. The following Individuals were
complimented, viz: Webster, Everett, Qainoy and
Warren avenues, besides the trees, viz: Olive,
Walnut, Cherry, Maple, and Beech streets.
Dean's addition, VA) AMA lots 25 by 120. The
town map shows the route of the Pantile Railroad ;
avenues, 'Walbridge, St. John, ch. Starkey's ad
ditlon streets, Buchanan, Boone, Scott, Ponehar
train, do. Dabeatt's addition streets, Cayuga,
Seneca, Winnebago, Baltic, Caspian,. Azoff, do.
Hacker's addition,
160 acre, lots 25 by 120: ave
nues, Vermillion, Nebraska, Rams, Samson, do.
Montgomery's addition, 160 sores: avenues, Bu
chanan, Boone, Amason, do. Among the other
additions are Slaughter's, Frazier's, Marshall's,
and Vealebnrg.
I have heard of Minnehaha—indeed a Ren-
tuokian asked me for an offer on 20 lots in that
addition. Ono of its avenues is called Toombs—l
trust nut from the familiar lines, a Bark from the
Toombs a doleful sound !" There are also other
additions, such as Meßeaty's, neatly three miles
distant, and too far off to notice. Across the Bay,
Middletown, with ita dolliary frame house on Min.
necota Point, deserves a passing notice. Although
this .ands Point is not over three hundred yards
wide on the town site, yet tho map represents piers
extending not only a great distance into the Bay
of Superior but also on the other side fir into the
Lake, proving that It'parson rights ate extremely
valuable.
But the Map and deserlptien of Otter Tall City,
Minnesota, caps the climax. Two lakes are con
epienoucon,the town map, via Buchanan and
Breekinridge, and no doubt the venerable gentle.
man who inhabits the White Holum feels highly
complimented. "Otter Tail City" fe situated. on
Otter Tail Lake, through which passes the Red
river of the north 'The day Is not far distant (Oh,
may it soon Como !) when this take and the Minds
sippi river will be connected by a canal. For un
numbered years the site Of Otter Tall City was oc
cupied by Pilager Indians (and sad scamps they
were). It was their favorite council grounds. Here
they lad their war Councils end their peace coun
cils; here they raised in great abundance corn
and potatoes, (and occasionally roasted a Christian
missionary 2) and here they found fish, flesh, and
fowl in the greatest abundance. AO was to the
Indians so it will be to the white man—the great
gathering place. Want of space prevents a fall
notice of Da Luth, Rice's Point, otherwise Port
Byron, Milford Non du Lao, Wah-be-gan, Port
land, Endion,Buchanan, Burlington, Beaver Bay,
Saxton, Hiawatha, together with the surroundings
of Bayfield, etc.
I regret that repo . rrsays that (the Sioux .soiip
agent has been giving many of our ...r pre
emptors trouble by causing the late or. ore from
Washington. I trust that this toasting Sioux or
Chippewa scrip upon the public lands may be put
an end to, I also request the chairman of Mt Com
mittee of Ways and Means to remember that the
copper and iron or Lake Superior need protection.
I also call the attention of the House to the fact
I that we, the residents of the frontier, are op
posed to the Homestead Bill as advocated
by Mr. Grow. Five years Is too long to wait for
one's title. We want .roads, and can only build
them by taxation, and no ono'e land can be taxed
until he has duplicates or patents. If a settler
cannot pay $1.25 per acre for forty, eighty,
or one hundred and sixty acres, he cannot be'
of much account to any community. Wo do not
wish to have !Athens of New York or any other
Statesending petitions to Congress to diepose of our
lands. Rely upon it, that this Homestead Bill is a
mere sham, and Intended for party purposes. It
was tried in Oregon and utterly failed.

BATHING IN COLD WHATHER.—We stated the
other day, that Dr. Mayo G. Smith, of Newbury
port, had twoustomed himself to bathe in the open,
or ioy, as it might be, river daring the winter. In
a letter to the Herald of that pity, he says
"This is the fourth winter I have bathed in the
river or sea ohm my return to the United States.
I have run five miles, divested myself of clothing,
dashed into the river, swam amid the lea cakes,
then dressed and ran two miles home. I have
dived into the stream from the end of the pier
seven or fifteen feet into the channel whose rapid
ourrent and tidal motion ordinarily prevented
freezing--or if frozen I have cut the ioe, and at no
time this or preceding winter, have I been Ebel
tered by house or shed ; but after a bath, such is
the warmth, that summer clothing would euflice
for covering.
"The coldest morning it was 15 deg. below zero,
us-47 %otor freesia - 4g point.- I oauany ran a
couple of miles, need a flesh brush and towels,
sometimes stand in the snow, frequently dry my.
self tumid northeast winds. I take no beverages,
no coffee tea or spirituous drinks, nor do I use to
bacco. I never feel cold after leaving the water;
never outlined from colds ; never have coughs. I
never had disease of any kind ; no aches ; no
pains.. My bathing time is by or before sunrise.
"Cold bathe should not be need at all times. I
know of but one rule for guidance. Should reac
tion occur after bathing it is a safe practice—not
otherwise. No man can judge for another—every
one may for himself. If, immediately after the
shook, plung,e, or shower, a warm glow is diffused
over the body, it is beneficial. A rent in one's coat,
a fracture of a boot, damp feet, or a current of air
is often more dangerous, nay, deadly fatal, than
the entire submersion of the body in congealing
water, or exposure to freezing air. More risks are
daily incurred by ladies with unprotected feet in
one day, than a winter's bathing."
WHAT ARE WE. CONING ro?-13Loramsner or Two
CHILDREN.—On Friday morning a telegraphic de
spatch was received at the pollee headquarters
from Albany, stating that James Baylis, a boy
twelve years of age, had eloped from that city
with a girl, named. Ellen Sheerer, aged thirteen
years. •They were supposed to have taken Thurs
day night's boat for this city, and the police were
requested to capture them, if possible. Officers
Poole and Roach, of the detective force, were de
tailed for this duty, but as the despatc h was re
caved tome time after the steamboats had arrived,
they were unable to discover whether the runa
ways had really come to New York, as was sup
posed. By diligent exertion, however, they
succeeded in discovering that the very fast
young lady had an acquaintance living on the
Eighth avenue, and supposing that the couple
would proceed there, watched the house,
and caught them entering at about six
o'clock in the evening. James and Ellen ox
pressed much surprise at the told= turn of affairs,
and did not at all relish the idea of going to the
police headquarters, where they were taken by the
tams. The girl said she had not yet become a
wife, though waiting to be one, and supposed that
for the present she would have to give up all hope,
owing to the "great fees " her folks had created.
Neither she nor "Jimmy " had been treated well
At home, and they hardly knew a better course to
pursue than to come on to New York and seek
their fortunes together. Obtaining three dollars,
they started on the boat for New York, hiring
a state-room for $l, and leaving another it
left. After spending all their money, the ambitions
pair sought out the Eighth-avenue acquaint
ance, where, as above stated, they were arrested.
The girl is a bright, intelligent little thing, quite
pretty, but rather forward In her manners. She
epeakewith great confidenee, and does not seem to
be alarmed, apparently fearing more for "Jim
my" than herself. On Friday she went all over
the city looking for work. The boy is a tine-look
ing child, and Nem= to be more alarmed than the
girl ; did not at all relish the idea of being looked
up, and perfectly willing to return. Both aro
poorly dressed, and the probability le, that not
having' been well-treated at home, they took this
means of redressing their grievances. Truly we
are a fast pecple.—N. Y. Express.

We puha - shed yesterday some nets selected

received from the Merchants' Exchange tows•rootn
another copy of the Tribune ' from which we take
the following details of this mournftll disaster,
gathered from the lips of residents near the scone,
and from the most reliable sourest :
The ill-fated steamship is reported to have been

main-mast had the appearance, according to the stale
inents of our informants, of being crowded with hu

About half an hour after Ronne.. the mainmast was
Seen to go overboard—the smoke pipe disappeared soon
' afterwards—and the mizzen-mast followed about 10 A.
ht. The spectacle is described by those who witnessed
it as one of terrific' graedeur—the Sett arbund white with
breakers. the doomed ship rolling heavily, as surge after
surge broke Minima her iron sides, the peak dashing in
volumes to the height of her mast-head, and the billows
pouring in ceaseless rataraets over her decks.
The violence of the sea during the morning and the
early part of the day was en great that no attept could
be mails to approach the ship. Not even a lif e-boat, it
ls affirmed. could have been got with safety through the

PLAN FOR A PAID FIRE DEFARTMENT.—TIIO
details of the prize plan for the proposed paid fire de
partment have been made public. The plan provides
that the entire fire department of the city of Philadel
phia shall comet of sixteen steam fire engines, to be
located at such points na may be determined upon, the
city being divided into fire districts, something like the
present arrangement. The detallspf the plan, concern
ing the number of men to eanh engine, and other minute
eartMulars, are not determined ow.
The department in to become a branch of the city. and
mattered as the Department of Poor. Board of School
Controllers, and other departments, are now managed ;
tee government of the fire department to be entrusted
to a Beard or nine Fi re Commissioners, three to ben p
pointed br the Mayor or City Counoils. three by the
Judges of the several Courts, and three by the Board of
Underwriters, the said Contnuesionere to Jerre without
salary. Thin mode of appointing is with the view of re
moving the Commissioners from political influence.
The expense ol the roposed department will be about
3t50,000, oae•halfor wi p nd. is to be paid out of tne city
treasury and the other half by the insurance companies
represented by the Board of Underwriters. In order to
obtain apparatus, It le proposed to muss proposals, in
viting 111011compapies an desire to do so, to sell their
apparatus to the city, and houses, also, if the location
be approved, at an appraised valuation.
It has been remarked that thin plan comprises the
essential features of the plan now in operation M Bain
lore. The Baltimore department has been organized
Mr incite than a year. We understand that the author
ciP the plan den es copying any of its details from the
Baltimortkeystem,and claims perfect oriunality. Mr.
W 11. Quincy, of Baltimore, is in town, at tir summons
of the committee, to give his experience o the Balti
more system. The number of steam engines in the
Baltimoye department le seven. There are four hook
Fad ladder companies. Mr. Quincy, Oanle appearance
before tha committee, underwent a lengthy examine
tion,giving the results of the workings of the Paid
eye
tem in that city ; and the committee are so well pleased
with his statements that they are somewhat divided in
opinion as to which is the beat to he recommended—the
plan for which they .have paid the premium, or the Bal
timore system. It 1B not unlikely that they may teem
mend the Baltimore plan, with some modifications to
suit our locality.
The Board of Underwriters alluded to above com
prises only six out of the forty or fifty insuranee com
panies doing business In our °lt,. These six companies
are the belaware Mutual, Pennsylvania, American,
Mate of Pennsylvania, North America, and Liverpool
and Londou. Among the plane offered was one by 800.
cifGordon, Lea., One of the clerks of Common Council,

ginal with him.
PROCEEDLNOB IN TIM COURT!' ON S krunDAY.—
tln Saturday, in the Court of Common Fleas,judge
Thompson delivered an opinion in the Bennett divorce
cage, granting the motion'to set aside the decree by
which Mr. Bennett wan decided tit be divorced from his
wife. The dealt/ton of Judge Thompson is in these
terms:
The case preseete extraordinary features. Upon the
redord in the wife's answer, confessing the °hareem of
the libel, and morn to by her, Re is alleged he the Plain
tiff, certainly tiptoed by her end filed. When the rule
for diveree was returnable, the testimony previoesly
taken was deemed nisuffmient. and the court granted
the plaintiffpermission to take additional testimony.
But no new rule was entered. No notion of the taking
of that additional testimony wan given to the defendant,
and no new uderrogatione were filed. There was no
written notice given her of the calling up of the rule for
final disposal. Mr. Itimpson alleges that he gave notice
to her coupsel, but Mr. flail on the contrary, soya that
he is satisfied that he received none, as he made rm
memorandum of it. It is impossible for us to decide
upon the facts between the conflicting testimony of
counsel. Injuntme may have been done tire defendant
by the eintesion togive her the required notice. Had
she been notified of the taking of the additional testi
mony, we do not know but that she might have adduced
e ry
xplannto evidence.
The rules relative to divorce were framed by the court
with great caution, and have been strictly enforced for
years. and as they have not been properly observed in
this mistimes, we cannot dry otherwise than vacate the
decree. 'We regret exceediegly to do no in this cane,
because under the eonstruotioa of it. most favorable to
tiro defendant, she hag, by her OiOn err, Ringed the plain
tiff in the most miserable position in which a mail could
be placed. When our final nation was naked lor, we
thought the rules had been duly complied with, but as
tney have not been, we feel it our duty to vacate the
degree thus informally obtained and entered.

to come to the conclusion they did. The court thooght

was based.

man's proposition to abolish the present arrangement.

not be likely to pass muster in Congress. We sag

and yet let large profits accrue to the Slate, each mem

c l o;cies of the strike of a portion of onr men, about
one-third otthe whole number emplosed. and an 'dyer
tisement of an association which engendered. and is
endeavoring to maintain an antagonism between work
men and employer-, haring appeared in thepapers, we
notice them to correct the misstatements
It is not true that we are dsaireos or employing TOOn
more than lea hours per day; neither is it tree that we
have reduced the:price lot overtime. The rule which
the association desires on to change or abrogate is u
follows,
' • Work necesaary to be done before or after rerniar
hello will be rated at tune ar.4 quarter time. and it is
expected eve ry one will do his part cheerfully when
called upon. "
This rule has hoer' in operation two
.3 ears and two
months, without alteration or modification. lin print
ed in large tv pa, end conapicuons'y placed in every work
room and office in oar estaboahment since January.
1858. This urns the first aod only Bali we ever had on
the subject. Previous to thaws had no mthl;shed miss
and overwork was done at various rates as romans' and
men agreed unon ;but genetally.aad priacipalty„at time
and quarter tine or:lpercent advance ou dur ware&
In making the rale On price was filed at the highest
avenue rates of other city shops t work done at the
rates fixed is a loss to the proprietor. We therefore
virtually abolished, and so worded the rule—i. e.. when
err. wary. and on uo other account do we permit it.
- .
To show our estimation of overwork. we wit , state
that, Minor the year of 1859, the arerace am-eruct of
overwork per man wee three hours. and the diiTerenee
to the man, if his wee., are 82 per der. Is 15 cents per
annum. viz: at our rates Ti rents. at the assreciation's
rates %) cents. It Is evident, from this statement, thee
it is but .s plea to set tee control of ■hops is wh eh their.
members are employed, and to present employ merit or
env who are not members of the association. And as s.
further proof of tins, we quote the 2d article of the cabs
st,tersoe of the luso, fttigln
_ • .
•- The objects of this Union shall be to unite and as
goo ate together as far as practicable, the edlolsait
workmen of the two trades represented in this Associa
tion. for the purpose of geminate concert of %Mien TS
whatever may be reannied as tiocoinetv a to their net ed
interests, ar the attainment of a fair rats of wage., the
shortening of and madame nniforrathe hours of labors
the game of a proper ratio of soprenthies to ',gamey •
men, the protection of the raiinlayty-ao -rsubeed me
chanic., and the abolition of oburtniOns end op; tendril
rules in workshops."
This organisation. soreening itself from resconsibl•
lity by its ssoret coarsen , r. not only governs its own
member., but seeks. by intimidation and threats, to
prevent those from working who are anxious sod wil
ling to do so. Thor declare in their preamble that
Toe relation between capital and labor meet. of
necessity, (so far as the price of the latter is oon
corned. result in an antagonism of interests."
We think OtberwiMielld intend to unwise our own
business to the recognition of the mutual interests en
'sting between our men and ourselves.
No obtain:ion to the practical operation of our rules
has been manifested by our worknom acting irde
pendently of this association. hl any of those who are
memtvsm freely express their regrets at the stoke. and
would resume work at once if free to follow their own
judgment.
With this statement we leave the matter to the Judg
