Tlie interview with President Hayes
published in thesecilumus yesterday rnorn
ing, in which he states that he intend
clungehis manner of dealing with
"bulldozers" of the South, is the prevailing
political Mnuiiun of the day. and is th
chief topic of convi rsation and discussion
in political circle, all over the country.
In its lead' r on the subject, the Chicago
Trifcune reads the folu.wiig parable as its
first les-on" :
Til-re Is a legend to tli" tO-ct that once up

It i not difficult i see the application of
the fortgoiog fble to the case- m hand. The
Government ol the United States has en
dured all manner of dignities at the hand
of the lawless class in the South, and the
more the ofle rulers havelietn favortd, tl.e
greater I he decree of kindnt" exltnded to
them, the more they have kitktd and in

would come out right in tl eeiul ; th Jt the
gross nets of violii.ee ami lilood.htd vith
which the r-cords of ll e time have teennd
f irtwoyeir were the act i.f a la le ele
ment that would lie, in good lime Mippre--ed
hy the State authorititp, aidttl hy the
lieller eentiment of the communities. But
time has deuion-trateii that there is no
belter sentiment," or, at least, if it exists
ata'l, it i loo insignificant to have any
appreciable effect f ir good, in retraining
the di-ordcrlv eltment, and tlitt the public
authoritie, though it is conceded that rome
of tt.eiu have endeavortd earnestly and
honestly to enforce the laws, and protect
the jt-nple in the possession of their jxjliti
cal rights, have found themselves confron
ted by a public sentiment too strong to be
c ntrolltd. Slill the 1'resident clung to
his conciliatory policy, loth to give it up
and his po-ilion is thus stated hy the Tri
bune: He was confronted on the one hand by
bitterly tin tile taction lu CongreK, and on
ye other by KCotf and taunt In tne South.
Ha pattlsiu lutluence could hwerve Mm
tri.ni tnefaiKul execution of tils licy, but
th re were not wantlntc Intimations that the
time might rome when the lion would be
roJsed. 'that time has come. The rec ni
election has idmwn that there Is no lomer
such a thins as free popular Miffrase In the
South. The mot Infamous frauds ever
known In ihe political lilttory oil lsrounlry
have been p'nly committed in t'outli Caro
lina and many pa-ts of Ixulsana, and are
not only ialiled but JnMifled by the
Bourbou leaders. Tan many In Its worst days
never witnes-ed such open, fchtraefaeed des
ecration ol the risht of suffrage. The ba.lot
boxes of a who e State are so manipulated
that the itgltlmate ltepnbllcan tnsjoritles
were utterly wiped out, and D-mo-ralic
innjorltles were counted larger than the
-whole number of Democratic voters. The
Itepubllctn meetings were not only broken
up during the canvass but no ltepnbllcan
pjdge w re allowed at any poll In the elec

aptKilnt.sI under the Uw&of the Uult-d states
were driven Irom tlieir otatlons. The laws
were openly set at defiance. A Uonrtjou olig

Til i: NEXT IIHLM
The "Washington corresjondent of the
Jbicago Time Bays the announcement of
he President' new departure has thrown
he Democrats into a state of demoraliia
ion, and that a great many ot them enter
ain grave fears fur the organization of the
iext House ; th-y think the new jiolicy,
.nd the union of all the f actjon of the Re
publican part, which it in-ures, will caui-e
-o much enlhuia-m in the Republican
racks, that all the Uretnbackers, and Inde
pendents, of Republican antecedents, will
come back to their firi-t love, at least so far
is to woik together for the organization,
ind that x. combination of there elements
will leave the cinocrary in the minority)
and throw the orgrnixition into the hands
of the Republicans.
The I-lcr-Ouvn, also, rtgrrdanicb are
ull as fairly within the limits of proba
bility, and in an editorial article upon the
ijue-lion, it siys:
It Is plain i noti;h that the Greenbjckers
and Itepublicans can control the organiza
tion of the in XI House, if they m delre and
an asree uiu the terms. There are enough
Itc.ubileahsritid tiret-iiliackersof Kepu Hcau

It Is not neOKSsary In order to do this that

Thtrc wo lid be nothing at all unreason
able in this ex ptctatioit, if we could have
auy ai-surance that all the i.cpublican
electetl to the r.ext House would be permit
ted to take their seats, hut the conduct of
the Democratic majority in the present
Congress renders it more than probable
hat the roll will be fixed up in uch a way
as to inure a Democratic majority
in any event. If the Republicans
had a clear majority, without
calling in the aid of any Greenback
or IudeM?ndent ally, the clerk of the
House would take care that enough of them
ere left ofl the roll to throw the organiza
tion into the hands of the Democrats. The
unblushing manner in which Itepublicans
w ho were electetl to the present Congress
were deprived of seat in order to make
room for Democrats wlio were not electetl,
proves conclu-ivcly that the party would
not hcitate to drop the names of a few Re
publicans from the roll, if such a ou -se
should la; necessary to tecure the organiza
tion. a -r.iv riiiiriiia

Thi institution, which Has founded in

e-cape scandal of eviry ihcription, antl
liuiulreils ol estimable people in Ulno and
el-e here feel queer and uiicointnrtableover
the recent tsctpade of some of its male and
female students. Rut really it i a subject
for laughter ralher than tears. The regu
lations at Oberlill have always bten very
strict and rigorous, esjiecially those relat
ing to the two sexes. The young ladies are
required 'o lie in their rooms at half-past
"even in the evening, and cannot afterward
lesve them during the night. There is a
similar regulation f irllieyoumr gentlemen,
but the hour is Inter. What has recently
h-ppeotd attberlin is an evasion of these
rules. Half a dozen rollicking young men
and two or three hoydenish young women
h tve contrived to have night interviews as
daring, though less romantic, than the one
which everybody has h held on the stage
between Romeo and Juliet. Omincout
into the starlight over the friendly adjoin
ing roof, or letting themselves down from
windows with bedclothes knotted together
at the corners, these enterprising young
people have succeeded in having several
clandestine outdoor meetings under the
broad canopv of the night Is is not al
leged or believed, nor even suspected, that
there has been any immorality or anything
more hlsneworth than a pleasant little
frolic Rut the faculty and the community
of Puritanic Oberlin have been thrown into
convulsions of exci ement and horror.
They fear that what they call the "coedu
cation of the sexes" has received a fatal
blow. They are as much arou-ed as a Con
necticut village would have been in the
das of the blue laws by the discovery that
a mother had kisssd her children on the
Sabbath.

KOUUIEB REPUBLICANS.
The Southern Itepublicans have nine,
possibly ten, representatives in the next
Congress, (if they are not counted out,)
namely, one from Maryland, one from Vir
ginia, three from orth Carolina, one from
Missouri, one from Kentucky, one from
Tennessee, one from Alabama, and possibly
one from Florida. In the present Congress
there are eleven Southern Republicans, and
but for the bulldozing in South Carolina
and Louisiana, they would have added at
least three to this number. They have
lost three in South Carolina, three in Mis
souri, one in Louisiana, and one in Tennes
see, and have gained two in Xorth Carolina,
one in Kentucky, one in Alabama, and one
in Marvland.

The only "slanderer, traducer and villi
fier" of Dr. Knapp, in this State, is Gov
nar Antliony; if Knapp has been elaborately
vindicated by Amasa T. Sharpe, of Otta

All the villainous charges against the Doc
tor were brought forward and made a part
the official records of the State, hy a com
mittee of the Legislature appointed at the
Governor's request, compo-ed of the Gover
nor's frienJ,which followed up the "scent"
given it by the Governor, and brought in a
report according to his notion. The
Governor, through his friend, made
all ths charges that have ever been
made against Dr. Knapp made them of
ficially, and placed them on record, where
they can be read, for all time. If the Gov
ernor has elaborately .vindicated through
his friend Sharpe, the man whom he
elaborately villified through his
friend Pilkenton, it shows that he is
trying to make amend, in some measure at
least, for the wrong he has done Knapp.
And now if he is disposed to be honorable
about it, he will come out like a man and
say that the infamous charges which he
caused to be put on record against Dr
Knapp are all false, and that he had good
reason to believe that they were false when
he made them. If he will say this, and aay
it in his message, so as to make it official,
and put it in the archives of the State,
along with the charges, it will square the
account with Dr. Knapp, and show that the
Governor is really in earnest in his efforts
to vindicate a man whom he has grossly
wronged. Has he honor enough to doit?

The New York Herald doesn't entertain
a very exalted opinion of the late "com
mercial convention" at Chicago, in which
the Governor of Kansas and Col. Sam
Wood took active and conspicuous pirls,
but calls it a gathering of ' subsidy cormo
rants," who aere bafiled in Congress lat
winter, and sajs the convention, which was
held under "the prentence of urging an en
larged commercial intercourse among the
various countries which make up the map
of the Western Hemisphere" was in realty
for the r urpoe of star ing a new campaign
gaint the. Treasury. We quote from the
Harllas follows:
This Convention at Chicago has evld ntly
been panned by the cunning and assembled
by i the diligence of the promoters of the
Southern Pacific Railroad, who are the soul
of the imovement, Kvery other s?t of men
who are either seeking a subsidy or would be
willing to accept one are expected to assist,

A subsidy to the Texas Pacific Railroad ; a

appropriatl u for other western rivers r.
among ihe piijects wuch are to be harness

such measures tuicuh Congress at the co -ing
session.
The di-cur-ions before the convention.
reported by the telegraph and by thefliii-a-go
paper, certainly give a color of plau-i-bility
to thi view of the cafe. About tt e
first thing brought before the convenvion
was a resolution in favor of a subsidy to
CoL Tom Scott's Texas Pacific R itlroad ;
the Govi raor and Col. Wood, as attorneys
for the Santa Fe. opposed this scheme, and
the dicu"ion which enued upon the rela

of Secretary Chandler says that he has ask

aud the Stcretary replied :
"I caui here to stiffen the President's

now is the time he'll show it."
Thi no doubt exj.ie-se the meaning of
the couftreLce, hiih lasted the whole of
Monday evening. Another friend of Stcre

a ililftrent way. He is a man in high ios

as soon as any one. He says :
'"Yts, it is true that Chandler came here

radical Republican, Hive apiearnl an ex
tended interview in the only Republi
can newspaper in Washington, iu which
the Presideut is repie-entid to have con-
les-ed the failure of his ex--nment to con
cilate the t-oulh, and to have exprtstd his
intentiou to change his mode of dealing
with the leople ot that section. The Presi
dent is represented as saying:
"No one will deny that the attempt to
enforce this policy was most earnest, or
that it was carried out with conscientious
desire to accomplish the result for which
it was inaugurated. Of the personal and
partisan sacrifice I have made in this effort,
and of the consequent interruptions of cer
tainrelationsthat had previously existed be
tween myself and some of my eupiKirler, I
have nothirg to say jus: now, but it ap
pears that the leaders who made these
pledges did rot exert theois Ives to keep
them, or were unable to do so. In fact, 1

EXPERIMENT WAS A FAILURE.
"The first election held since it was at
tempted prove that fair elections with
free sttflrage for every voter in the South
are an irupossibiliiv under the existing
condition of things."
In regard to his intentions for the future,
the Pressdent is represented as speaking
with emphasis. The interview savn
"That judicial proceedings have been or
dered not only against those who have al
ready been arrested, but against others. It
is promised to make a e lean sweep of this
business, and exhaust every legal re
source in the execution of justice. The in
tegrity of American citizeu-hip has lieen
grossly violated, and it tuu?t aud shall be
vindicated."
This is not the manner in which the
President has been accustomed to talk of
the sulj ct, but certain orders that have
gone nut from ihe Department of Ju-lice
to Fedi ral officers in the South, gave the
color of until to the word, and the remarks
of C'abim t officers aud others in intimate
relation with ihe Prtsidtnt were to theef
ftct that Ihe inter. iew sotit.dcd a if it was
genuine.

AN INTERVIEW WITH THE TREslDENTs
"TRIVATE StCKETARY.
Your correspondent called upon Mr.
Rogers, the Private Secretary, to-day, ant
a-keil if the interview was authorized, and
iuMted by the President himself, as has
been alleged.
"No," said Mr. Rogers; "the interview
was not invited. On the contrary, tbe
President will never allow him-eif to be in
terviewed. He sometimes likes to talk
wuh newspaper men, but does not like to
have his lanu-ge quoltd. Iu regard to
theaulheliicily of the conversation, I will
say that it never took place. The article
represents, however, with surpri-ing accu
racy, except in one or two sentences, what
the President let-Is, and what he has staled
lo seeral g ntleiiieii within the last few
days, and I remarked to him thi morning
thai a very clever hind had been at work
at it. Ihe exceptions to which I alluded
are the sentences in which the President is
represented as confessing that this egtpejl,
rueut was a failure. He never saidjfcat to"
any one. He never admitted that pie' ac
tion which has come tube known as the
Southern policy was an experiment. It
wa not an ex peiimtnt. He had no alter
naive. WHEN HE BECAME PRESIDENT CERTAIN"
CXINDITIOSS EXISTED IN THE SOUTH
that forbade any other course of action
than that adopted by him. He saw his
constitutional duty, aud he could not have
done otherwise than he did. Hence it was
not an exriment, nor was it a policy, it
was an inevitable necessity that the treat
ment of the South was such as it wa, and
while be regrets that the generosity of his
action has not been rtsiionded to as it
should have been, that the pledges that
came voluntarily from Southern ioliticians
in regard to the observance ot law and the
rights of the negroes have been so unreason
ably violated, he cannot confess that his
conduct was wrong. Otherwise than this,"
continued Mr. Rogers, "the interview in the
litpuUican expre-s-es very nearly the senti
meuts of the President."
When oues ioned further, Mr. Rogers
suggest d a talk with the President himself,
and a very pleasant talk of half an hour
was the result.
While there may or mav not be any
significance in the coincidences that are
otnttd out in tbe earlier lines of this dis
patch, the interview with the President,
which appeared In the tirpullican newspa
r of this city, and was telegraphed ex
tensively over the country, is regarded as
very significant, as indicating an abandon
ment of what has been known as the South
ern policy, and confession of its failure. It
is assured that
A CHANGE IN THE TEMrERMEXT OF THE
ADMINISTRATION nA8 TAKES 1'LACE;
that in the future the relations existing be
tween tbe President and his party will be
difiVrent from thoe of the past; that here
after the differences in the Republican
ranks will be entirely healed, and that
the President will enjoy the intimate con
fidence ol the leaders of his party from this
tiui- on
1 1 e ch tin of circumstances seem to prove
the uxuiaiv of this opinion. In the first

the most radical of all Republicans, who

Then Brookly Tabernacle was crowded, a
usual, yesterday morning wjen Dr. T De

ries of sermons the night side of city life.
Anion:; the li-teners were Governor Bish

hymns and solos were carried out, with
Mr. Morgan at the organ and Arbtukle
playing the cornet. The hymn just before
the sermon was one which had been sung
at the opening of the Hou-e of Representa

lion of Mr. Lincoln so much that he wroe
a note to one of the gentlemen present.

with the-e sermons I shall make you all

exposure. 1 have as much amusement as
anv man of my profession can afford to
indulge in at auy one time in seeing some
of the clerical reformers of this dav mount
their war chargers, dig in their spurs and
glittering lance, dash down upon the ini
epiitiesof cities that have been three or four
thousand years dead. They will corner an
eld sinner ot twenty or thirty centuries ago
and scalp him, and hang htm, and cut him
to pieces, and then say : "0b, what great
things have been done " With amazing
prowess they throw sulpher at Sodon, and
tire at Gomorrah, and worms at Herod,
and pilch Jezebel off f the wall, but they
wipe off their gold spectacles, and put on
their best kid gloves, and unroll their mo
rocco covered sermons and look bashful
when they begin to speak about the sins of
our day. as though it werea shame tomention
them. Ibe bypocrits: ihey are afraid of
the libertines or those in their churches
who drink lot much. Better, I say, clear
out all our audiences, from pulpit to storm
door, until no one is left but the sexton,
and he wailing merely to lock up (laugh
ter) than to have the pulpit afraid of the
tiew. One thing I like about a big church
i that if a dozen people get mad and go
out you don't know they are gone till the

THE POLICE LANTERN.
I unroll the scroll of new revelation.
With city misionairies and the olice I
have seen some things that 1 have not yet

deep, exhaustive night of city pauperism
"We will want no carriage for to-night,'
said my jiolice attendants. "A carriage
would be a hindrance where we are going."
So, at eight o'clock we started on foot and
walked through the lanes of j-ovcrty and

and ear and nostril unwashed, uncombtd
the population, unventilated the room.

nine -tenths of the way towanl their h ..
doom. They started in unhappy hmue
eiiher in city or country. They entered
iniituily far uptown in the shambles of
death within ten minutes' walk of the
Fifth Avenue hotel, and came gradually on
down to the Fourth ward. When they
move out of here they will go to Bellevue

EVILS OF THE TENEMENT HOUSE SYSTEM.
Let the policeman go ahead and Hash his
lantern upon the scene. Fourtten people
a-Ieep in this one room, or trying to get
asleep, some on a few handful of straw, but
more on the bare iloor wuh neither blan
ket or pillow. You say Ibis is exceptional.
It is not. Thus sleep night by night,
with no better comfort, 170,000 famtlie
who live in tenement houes of greater or
les squalor. No reformation of our cities
until this terrible tenement house system is
broken up. The city authorities must buy
farm where these jieople can hy force of
law be placed and made to work. By
jfctrong arm and police lanterns, united with
Christian benebcience, the-e horrors mutt
fceexiioscd and then uprooted. Thee men
dicants must be made ihe means of city
wealth instead of city putrefaction. No
purification or reformation for the city un
til something like the privacy and seclu
sion of the home circle be given to every
family. As long as they herd together like
beasts they will be beasts.
AS OASIS OF CHRISTIAN HOPE.
Soddenly we neard a loud Christian song
rolling out through the storm. We hurried
to a window and looked in. A large room
full of all kinds of people, some of them
weeping, some singing, some standing, some
kneeling, some shaking hands to give en
couragement, some wringing their hand iu
grief, as though mourning a wasted life.
What was it? Jerry McAuIey's glorious
christian mission. Snatched himself from
the edges of death, there he stands in the
strength of God snatching others from ruin.
There was a scene worth all the fatigues
and nauea of the midnight exploration.
How much pauperism we saw by the
flash of the police lantern! How much
more we did not see! How much more no
eve but God's will take in! Think of it;
140,000 lodgers every year in the station
houses! And what pathos in the thought
that whole familes, turned out of doors be
cause they cannot pay their rent, must tum
ble in here for shelter the respectable and
the reprobate, they who have struggled for
decency and good name Hung helpless in
the loathsome pool, innocent childho.d and
vicious old age, God's poor and Satan's des
peradoes !
At my basement door we have an aver
age of 100 calls a day seeking aims. In my
reception room every day I have applica
tions for help that an old style silken purse
gathered by a ring in the middle and with
Yanderbili's wealth in one side and Wil
liam B. Astor's wealth in the other could
not satisfy. (.Laughter. I refer to thee
men's wealth while living. We have more
money now since they have their shroud
on; but even the shroud and grave we find
are more to be contested for. A curse upon
the midnight jackals of St- Mark's church
yard. Applause. Out of tbe population
of 1,000,000 people of New York 200 000
poor are helped by charity, private or mu
nicipal. Hear it, mayoralties and alder
manic boards ! I would to God that I
might throw a bombshell of arousal into
every City Hall, meeting house and cathe
dral on this continent.
THE MILL GOES ON.
The factories at Fall River and Lowell
have sometimes stopped for lack of de
mand or lack of workmen, but the great
million-roomed factory of (in goes on day
and night, year after year, without slacken
ing a band, or arresting a spindle. Its
ureal wheel is turned by a flood not like
that of the Meirimac or the Connecticut,
but by a crim-on flood poured forth from
the groggeries and the drinking saloons
and the wine cellars of the land; and tbe
faster these floods roll the faster the wheel
turns ; and the band of the wheel is woven
out of.the broken Ceart strings, and at every
turn there pours out thereof at
the mouth of tbe iron mill crushed for
tunes, desoIated homes, squalor and men
dicancy and crime domestic and rnioicipxl,
and national woe. And the creakicz and
tbe rambling of the wheels are the shrieks
and groins of men and women Jost for two
worlds ; and the cry is, "Bring on more
reputations more homes, more fortunes
more cities for the grist of this stu
pendous mill !"
But yon say "These mills of death will
after a while cease from lack of material."
No ! See by the police lantern into the

Then I thought that iierbap there might
have been a dying prayer, a penitential tear

But I mut close the two lanterns.
A Bad showior fr (General
Porter.
Paola Spirit, 13,1
The testimony so far certainly makes a
bad showing for General Porter. It sus
tains tt e verdict of the court martial be
yond all question in our opinion, and if
there is anything wrong with the sentence
it was not severe enough in its punishment.
The impression which the writer received
of Porter's crime at the time of the battle,
in which he was engaged, led him to be
lieve that Porter ought lo have betn shot
for bis failure to take part in the battle
which was progrts-ini' all day within bis
hearing, and the testimony we have read
in this case only confirms us in that opin
ion. Every officer and soldier who were
p-e-ecta'. that unfortunate battle I no-,
if tbey know anything about the battle at
all, that a combined attack by the lederal
forces on that day would have crushed the
confederate army and given us a complete
victory, but instead of making a g-neral
assault all along the line a division was
thrown in at a time, and we were whipped
in detail all day. We think Porter's sen
tence was verv lenient in comparison to
what, in ,our judgment, il ought to have
been.

came off and a horrible stench arose, which

aell)- iii m Judicial Inquiry.
ll'lliClunatiUazette, li.
If many of the incidents of the Fitz John
Porter uqulry he been extraordinary,
those recorded in the last number of the
Army and Navy Journal are fairly bewild
ering. The counsel of Porter, being near the
clo-e of their case, announced to the board
that they desired the presence of Gen. Pojie
as a witness, but they preferred not to sum
mon him themselves aud desired that he
should be summoned by the govtrnment.
I he counsel for the government said he
had no occasion for Gen. Pope and declined
o summon him. IVrter's counsel replied:
"But we want to cross examine him, and
li- mu-t lie atiruuiuntd hy the government
in order that we may be granotd." The
board, fascinated by the audacity of thi
unique proposal, adj turned for a few days
toawait the General's arrival.
During the rets, lien. Sche.field, the
President of the board, returned to his
home at West Point, and telegraphed to
Pope to come on. Gen. l'oji- answered
that he ecu Id nut volunteer to intervene in
thi controversy betweeu Porltr and the
irovernineiit, but would appear chterfully
if riihi tenead by either p-irty. Gen. Scho
tield reiterated his demand. Gen. Pa-,
puzzled by this proceeding, telegraphed to
the tveretary ot War asking what he
should do. The Secretary replied, "Stay ai
your post wher you are.' aril advised the
Isi.ird aocording. thereupon Geu. Scho
li. Id, aciordiug to his own statement, sent
a toL.fiileiiti.il dirpatih to the President,
who refu-eil to order Popf either to
go or to stay, but lefi him to use his own
di-crttiun. L'jKin this (Jen. Poe tele-1,-r.ijlit.i
to the government coun-el as fol
ios. "I am informed by the Stcretary uf
War, in a telegram of l!us date, that the
President declines to order me to appear or
Hot to appear liefore your lioard as a wit
ness, but leaves the matter to my di-tre
tion. In view cf this tjcl and the tele
graphic instructions of the Secretary of
War for the guidance of the board, copy of

by sworn replie to written interrogatories,
or, if the lioard deem it necessary, hy a

on due notification to that effect."
What action did the board then take '
Sure ly no sine person could have predicted
what w done. "Argument was now had
on the propriety of questioning Gen. Pope
by interrogatories, but the luard derided
that. ..r ymi'.t if irfowmt im, the General
could lie of no service to lliem." And yet.
while declaring he was thus not needed, a
formal written op'nion of the lioard wa
read, stating that Gen Pnjie ought to a
pear to be cross-examined by Porter's coun
sel now. hecaue be wa a witness for the
government at the trial held sixteen years
at;ii;and that the lioard had exhausted all
its jwer to get lien. Poie before them,
(ien. Schofield added. "We therefore admit
all printed, public, authentic declarations
of the v I'ifus f
Tlieuifctter did not end here. The Re
corder placed fin hif PoJ-e's telegram to
Gen. Schofield, in which he stated he would
apieir tlietrftilly if sub-ei-natd by either
party; and there it lay iu disagreeable
proximity to the written statement of the
Hiard that it had exhausted all its jmwer
to rcure Pope's pre-ence. Gen. Schofield
observing thi, turned white with rage,
stamped his foot, ordered the tlegram to le
withdrawn from the record, ard addressed
to tht- R corder language which that officer
would not brook, though it came from a
Major-Ganeral presiding. The doors were
clieil for a while, and when opened, the
horn! on one hand required tbe telegram to
lie withdrawn from its juxtaposition with
tlieir opinion, but on the other hand Scho
field apologiz--d for his language.
It was a miserable performance. It is
ess.-ciallT pitiable to see Gen. Schofield ex
hibiting himself without shame as a deter
mined parti-an in the investigation where
he sits a presiding judge. It is quite in
leliiifiblr that Porter's astute coun-el, feel
ing the failure of their cause, should at
tempt t) raise a fog by bringing in other
parties and raising other issues. But it is
a very different thing lo see the board go
in; alone with them, and "refusing to be
hound by the rules prevalent either in civil
or military courts." Tbe ciurteous and
dignified attitude of Gen. Pope stand out
in strong relief amid this tissue of strange
doiug and arbitrary violence.

TUE SAME BUTLER
A correspondent of the New York Trt

Butler which shows that those who imagin
ed that the Essex Statesman would regard
himself as politically killed by his late de
feat, are very much mistaken. The Tribune
say, editorially, in referring to the inter

u the fninkue&s with which he discusses
some of the people for whom he lixs no

Ueueral lialler always was a c:eniltil man.
There is no such thing as killing a man
of General Butler's pluck and energy ; elc
feat only serves as friction, to brighten and
polish lit-; qualities, and the result of the
late election, so far from "killing him off,''
only encourages him to more vigorous ef
forts in the future. The Tribune says ;
The Important fact is thai General liutler

A Thr-ralrnrd dlrlke Amonr Ihe

IDispatch to Chicago Tribune, IX
It seems as if our labor troubles will nev
er come to an end. This time it is the
glass-workers, who claim that they do not
receive sutllcient for the work they are re
quired to perform. The trouble has been
of long standing and only reached the cul
minating point to-day. On Thursday the
manufacturers published a notice to the ef
fect that they would henceforth conduct
their businc-w in their own way ; that they
would pay pressers, finishers, handlers and
gatherers by the hundred, and would re
quire five hours work for a turn ; that they
would make such articles as their trade de
manded, and work such molds as they de
sired ; that they would employ aad dis
charge as might lie for their best interests,
and would nut submit to dictation in any
form ; and, finally, that they expected the
workmen to give a definite answer by
Thursday. November 1 1. This ultimatum
of the employers pioduced great
consternation among the blowers and oth
ers, who met this afternoon and decided
that, on Thursday, Nov. 14, they would no
tify the employers that they rejected the
proposition, and would not work on the
terms pi-opoed, and that, on Saturday
uext, they would quit work, and wonld not
return to their factories until they were
s j. for on their own terms. So a strike
seems inevitable. The first result of the
movement will be to throw upwards of 2,-
500 men out of employment, and the wages
paid to them by tliegla-ssictorie, amount
ing to the large sum of I.",000 er week,
w ill he taken from circulation. 1 he situa
tion is regarded with apprehension and
uneasiness by the people, and, unless those
corcern-d in the look-out can commanl
oilier resoti'ce, a season of want, misery
and stitlering is in store for thca and their
fauii'ie. It i lielii . -t. that the strike will
extend to all the gla-s-factories west of the
mountain, a it is known lhatgreat dissat
isfaction rxi-ts among the employe at all
of them on the subject of wages. Should
the contemplated strike be carried out, and
there apjiearsto be no doubt it, there will
lie a speedy an el material enhanchment of
the price of the glassware.

It is not in the powerof half a dozen ven
turesome girls to blot out the goesl name of
Olierlin, and the whole series of escapades
count as nothing in the way of argument
against the co-education of the sexes. An
attempt was made to be unduly strict, and,
an usual, it ended in failure. Olierlin may
learn a lesson from this. If there is to lie
a co-education of the sexes there must be
an abundaut display of common sense in
the management, with a fair understand
ing of human nature, as a guiding princi
ple of action, for, "girls will be girls" the
world over, and no man or set of men ever
