The Eight hour Nyutew Ui Cht.
Serious results are apprehended in Chi
cago in consequence of the passage by the
Illiuoi Legislature of the Eight flour Law.
From present appearances, a general panic
among the manufacturers of that city, will
be dimwit upon the country. No person
can estimate how much this is to he regret•
ted, for, with the present stagnation of gen
anti business, a panic in the manufacturing
business in Chicago would be iimly felt
throughout the whole Western country. It
is to be hoped that the employers and eni
ployees will come, before long, to a happy
and speedy conciliation. Thu workingmen
inaugurated this movement by a grand deal
°woolen l a st Wednesday. All business
affected by this law was suspended and pro
cessions and Nrieochw , were the order of the
day, the day king °haus wed as a general
holiday. Manufacturers generally refuse
to accede to the demands of the new move
ment. Railroad companies assert that in
else of the enforcement of the eight hour
law that they will remove their shops to
Indiana, shcrever such points are avails-
Lle. At a consultation of the manufactur
ers of Chieago,the majority of them came
to the conolusion to suspend business rather
than yield to the new movement, giving u.s
a reason the present scarcity of money and
the general hick of trade. Boiler makers
are determined to still adhere to the ten
hour systeiu, and says they will close up
their :hops iu preference to adopting the
eight hour plan. Paiute:is have offered to
Pay nine hours vagei far eight hours'
work, but their offer is as yet reieoted by
the union of the trade. A number of large
eitabEshinents have issued ciroulars to
their employees, requesting all who insist
upon the enforcement of the eight hour law,
to call at their office with their books.
GEORGC 111 AIME Itir
No time should be lost in bringing about
a quiet state of affairs in Chicago, All in
fluences should be brought to bear to re
store tranquility between capitalists and
laborers, as the former cannot be available,
without the assistance of the latter, and the
latter cannot eqjoy a happy oxtetance with
out the former. Tae law does not go into
effect where a previous contract has or
will bo made upon any other agreement,
and really upon this point the law is of no
consequence, and virtually a dead letter.
Workingmen will and it to their interest
to work ten hours per day, and demand, for
that rate of time, a reasonable oompensa
tine. The majority of mechanics and labor
an, as a general thing, would rather work
ten hours and receive ten hours' pay, than
work eight hours and receive eight hours'
pay. In the latter, one fifth of the time
would be lost. A rashness of lotion on the
part of either the manufacturers or mechan
ics in the case should be avoided, and justioe
should commend itself to all pastiee.—Fort

ISBURG, COLUMBIA. CO., PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1867:
CHEAP INDIGNATION.
The revolutionists have gut rid of their
white elephaut at last, and Davis, the great
unhung," bas been set free, and the little
dogs of the press, "Blanche, Sweetheart,
and Tray," are affecting a howl of what
must be called cheap indignation. For two
years thin wan has been held in close con
finement, as the people supposed, on a charge
of treason. The country demanded his tri
al, and he himself, through his friends and
his counsel, has made the same demand ;
but it did not suit the Radical element which
has eoutrol over the Judiciary and of Con.
grass to bring him to trial. A bill of indict
went was loud against him at Norfolk some
mouths since, but Chief Justice Chase,
doubtless under the manipulation of the
congressional cabal which now rules the
country,found it imposeible to determine
whether he should try him or whether it
should be done under the ant , yieva and
di
rection of the sAnnew bat netoriool and gar

the Radiel party of the country has never
intended that he should be.
But what act:lementary on man's want of
integrity does this ease present, and what an
illustration of the total depravity of the
Radical Revolutionists ! When the war cOU3-
winced we were taught to consider those
who inaugurated the rebellion as guilty of
the high crime of treason. As such they
were universally denounced, and as such it
was expected that some of them at least—
certainly the chief of them all, if he did not
escape—would be tried. Most men consid
ered it essential that the status of the two
parties to the war should be fixed and de
termined by judicial inquiry, so that the
great lesson of' the past might serve as a
beacon light for the future, and for two
years the President of the United States
has held the chief offender in close eirstudY,
awaiting a demand for hits body by the judi
cial department of the government. The
demand is made, and as before remarked,

this case it was the offender, and as a con
sequenee'all its nets in levying war to coerce
the States of the South to remain in the

TUE COMING TIOE I
While in the South, before the spring
elections, publicly and privately we told the
people that there was a great change going
on in the North, and that Detnoorecy was
gaining strength as never before. At times
we would be doubted—at times contradict•
ed—at, times met by Radicals who almost
gave us the lie, and who sneered at our as•
station, made before election. We made
wagers on Connecticut and won them.
We advised, earnestly advised people
there not to embrace Radicalism for to em
brace the monster is to hug the saw which
tears the flesh to the bone, awl in many Lo
calities we believe our uNirds gave hope, and
roused the drooping spirits of the people.
We based our prophecy on to us, certain
indications —letters from the Poople. Since
the last fall elections thou‘an , ls and thou
sands of letters from the people have come
to us in our sanctum, from every State nod
every congressional district in the North.—
These letters can be seen in our office by the
piles. They are earnest letters, telling us in
unmistakable words that the people are wa

BtRIED ALIVE. —A friend gives us the
account of a most terrible case of the burial
alive of a handsome young lady at Jackson•
villa, Illinois. Some time last summer a
young lady of seventeen years of age, suf
fering with the toothache, went to bed with
a small phial of chloroform, for the purpose
of quieting her teeth. In the morning she
was found to all appearances dead, which
was confirmed by the opinions of several
physicians who were called and examined
her body. She was then buried. A few
days site:* her relatives were about to ru
mor: From Jaeloonville, having located in
another State, and had the remains of the
young lady exhumed, fur the purpose of
taking them to their new home. Curiosity
prompted them to open the coffin, when
they were honor stricken on finding the
corpse turned over, both bands full of hair,
and her clothing torn to shreds, revealing
the horrible truth that the young lady had
been buried alive. The chloroform Lad
placed her in a deep trance, the awakening
from which was in her coffin and grave.
The lady was engaged to be married at the
time of' her supposed death. A more heart•
sickening case we never remember to hays
read or hoard of.—/adienopolis Joints?.
A LEssoy ron LaY Wrwts.—One day
a sturdy peasant was at work in the field
amid storm and rain, awl went home in the
evening, tired and drenched to the skin.
his loving wife maid : "My dear, it has been
raining so bad that I (would fetch no water.
I have not been able to make you any din
net As you are wet through, I shall be
obliged to you to fetch me a couple of buck
ets of water--you cannot get any wetter."
The argument was striking; he therefore,
took two buskers and fetched some water
from the well, which was at a considerable
distance. On reaching his hem he found
his wife comfortably seated by the fire; then,
lifting one bucket after another, he poured
the °entente over hie kind, considerable
partner. "Now wife," Reid he, "you are
quite as wet as I am, so you may as well
fetch water for yourself. you cant t get any
wetter. "
Democratic Newspapers.
We are for the triumph of Democratic
principles more than men. We love to see
the old creed of the Democratic party boldly
preached, and we believe this is the senti
ment of every true Democrat in Indiana
who thinks for himeelf. We despise a
policy dodging Democrat, a. we hate a red
mouthed Radical, and we sincerely believe
that it Is the first duty of the party to stiffen
the backbone of the Democratic press,
which are given to policy-dodging. Our
disgust of this tribe of apologists often oc
casions a little stir among them, when we
feel dieposed to take them off. We never
theless feel this to be a duty, and have given
up some space in reference to the course of
the Indianapolis Herald, the "central
organ," so-called. The Herald pretends to
bo the organ of the Indiana Democracy, but
when it attempts the herculean task of
writing down such papers as the La Crosse
DEMOCRAT, it proves the fact that it is not
the organ and not fit to be I It proves more
overrthat it is a timid advocate of principles
for which it is more ready to apologise
than battle, and that it is ready to join the
Ben. Butlerites in the long tried and futile
attempt to decry the Seymour., Yallandig.
hams, Pomeroys, Pendleton!, Hennas, and
other brilliant leaders of that tort of De
mocracy which is not prepared. Judas-like,
to deny their principles.
A professing Democratic newspaper,
whether organ of a State clique or of a
tavern-gathering, which will stab a true
Democrat to the heart—one wbo battled for

When John Brown, D. D., hid settled in

him a warm and enthusiastic reception ;
only one of the members of that large church
and congregation stood out in opnositi ,, n to

meant in his powe'r to convert the solitary
dissenter to the unity of feeling which pre

obtain an interview proved abortive. As

pened one day to meet in the street, when
the doctor held out his hand, saying, "My

to my settling at Hadiugton."
"Yes, sir," replied the parishioner.
"Well, if it be a titir question, on what
grounds do you object to me ?"
"Beuau.se, sir," quoth he, "I don't think
you are qualified to fill so eminent a post."
"That is my opinion," replied the doctor;
"But what, sir, is the use of you and I set

A ROOSTER RIDES ON A CCCPLINO POLE
TO mAßxer.—The Mechanicsburg Journa/
is responsible for the following tough story :
On last Saturday morning, Mr. Hemminger,
residing in or near Andersonville. York
county, about seven miles from this place,
came to market here, and on stopping at
the Square was surprised to see a large
Shanghai rooster belonging to him, and
which ho thought was safe at home, leap
from the coupling pole of the spring wagon,
flap his wing and give a lusty crow. It ap
pears. that the rooster, with some other
chicken was in the habit of roosting on the
pole of the wagon, which was standing in a
s hed, and had not been used for some time.
Mr. 11. chased them all off, as he supposed,
before starting, but it seems that Sir Chant
icleer did not relish being driven from his
perch quite so early, and retained his posi
tion, notwithstanding the jolting of the
wagon, fur seven miles.
IMPORTANT To Sou:ans.—Congress has
provided by law that soldiers, sailors and
marines, who were captured daring the war
and held as prisoners, shall be allowed, as a
oernmntation for their rations, t'ae sum of
twenty-five cents per day.
This money is paid by the Commissary
General of Prisoners at Washington, and
it is nee.essary that the names of the claim
ants shall appear on his books. The act
of Congress only permits the payment to be
made to privates in the land and naval
foreeß. Officers are not entitled to it. Not
withstanding this fact many of the latter
have applied for commutation, and others
may yet apply. To save trouble, it is prop
er that the conditions of the kw should be
uadentocA.
As there are soldiers, marines and sailors.
who have not made application, they should
do so at once, beftire the payments are clos
ed. These soldiers, more than any others,
probably, need taken oare of, as but few ev
er regained their health after their confine
ment in Southern prisons.

that it has been discovered that at the elec

majority. The herald says there ie "a ter

that the Democrats have been deliberately

as election officers in that city. This Herald
makes the statement that "at the general
election last October all the officers of the

Taxes City Commisiioner, Coroner, Clerk of
the Quarter Sessions, and the Prothonotary
of the District. Court, were elected by the
