S+ TH LABOR CONGRES. S
-. PRnSIDLY TRAYELLCCEK'SB DDRm"E .
. The address before the Labor Congress is
too lengthy for our columns; Int we give the
substance of it below: -
Having had the opportunity by pers.onall
K observation and frequent interviews withil
n workingmen, I can more readily see the ab- ;
r solute necessity of extending our work by in- 1
creasing the number of active and energetic I
men to travel throughout the country and ex- a
plain our position on the great qluestious a
which are now agitating the minds of think- I
ing men; and in the most places I have vis- ii
ited, they need only to be clearly explained h
to be eagerly embraced by the people; but n
this requires time and labor, and we cannot Is
expect to have a man's time and labor corn- b
biled without remuneration. It will, there- el
a fore, be for you, if you think it expedient, to tl
, take these matters into consideration, and to tl
n devise some plan, financially, that will I
strengthen those who, by your choice, are g
made the officers for the coming year, and if ai
our means will allow, to increase the number b:
of actual workers. t
To more fully explain our views and the m
mode of carrying out, the great reform, we mn
propose to inaugurate, and in this connection w
I weould sggest to this body that you con- a'
sider whether it will not be beneficial and at
necessary that this organization declare it- is
self a distinct political party, denominated as w

we can rely for ultimate success in checking GI
the many evils from which we are now unt- al

CORRUrr LGISoLTIO. -ITS aItVL..
We now come to the consideration of what 1
am the eri growing out of this rineous mde
of le ontio, and what the proposid reme
dies.o-t ittsmptingto show its evis, let us first
examine, in orde to understand the vast re
soarces of our country, its rolling rivers, its
nlamnd sees, its fairest covered hills and broad
prairies, wich with nature's gift to man,ready
a it were, upon us as a people-within the
last year, for four months, not lees than
1.300,000 men walked the streets of our large
citis and towns without bemployment, and
now, in midsummer, hundreds of thousands
ssm ashing for work and cannot obtain it.
What does this want of eaployment meant It
means that the nation loses two dollars for
every day the man is unemployed; it means
that want and n isery have entered the
homes of those who ought to be happy; it
means that it is driving tens of thousnands of
children beggars on the street, to press the
old snows with naked feet; it means that
want and hunger are driving the wife and
daughter of the honaest totler to prostitation,
sad asking thieves of the children of honest
men, thus training thousands yearly for the
pnitetiary and the gallows; it means that
the sewmig women of or land should. be
deemed to eke out a miserable existence, saf
fedag from the leoild of winter and
the heat of summer, in cheerless garrets
of oar large cities, and compels the destitute
widIowo of t worn out fellow-laborer to
breathL the foul air of a filthy basement and
her children to beg, with piteous tones, from
deer toedor fr the crumbs which fall from
the rich man's table.
cALSt or THa MtseRY.
And now, gentlemen, we ask the question,I
from whence comes all this suffering and
misery? Do the tiling poor saufer cold and
ha.er beaas there is not enough to satisfy
their wantt Certainly not; for while the
heart-bEoken widow fans into life the dying
embers, ten thousand tons of coal crop out
tromt he beanks of streams, saying, in words
that cannot be misundenteood, "Thy God hath
seat emeagh. The patient and anxious poor,
sfertug Ae want of fod, ask, as they may
"Is thete no bread for asfe while the rich val
l y and hIilllidcr with far overatretching pra
rie, are ever ready to reward labor with smoil
r ing fields of corn. The half naked and shivy
* ering poor ask in agony, "Is there no clothing
to shield us from the winter stormal" And
the answer comes from the cotton fields of '
19. the South, and is swelled in itsonward course I
by the fleee of ten thomand focks. "There I
i enough, and tospU r.".- I
We can readily'see that all this misery does
not result from the want of the material or a
r is the laborers to do the work. We have an I
the abundance of both. All that is wanted to ,
remedy these evils and alleviate this misery
and want, and prevent this alarming increase o
nrl of crime, is just and proper legislation, to
ith bring the labor and material together. Thus
ab- will our resources as a nation be developed d
in- by practical and honest industry; many a h
tic despondent heart made glad, and the barren Ii
ex- and waste places made to bud and blossom b
nse and yield their fruit by the effect ot the la- I
.k- bor of those now living in idleness, looking c
is- in vain for employment. But we ask: What d
ed has legislation done to bring about this great
ut result? It has, virt-ii , o.ll. .h . ir. . . t 4
lot improve the condition Iot the toiling poor; h
in- but, on the contrary. has done all in its pow
re- er to clog the wheels of industry and make tl
to the products of American labor contribute to si
to the building up of a moneyed aristocracy, to
ill both in Europe and America, and has mart- to
re gaged the labor of the present generation tt
if and of their successors; it has bled the nation
er by the collection of excessive taxes until she le
trembles with weakness, and yet business e(
ie men and others ask why trade is so dull and ai
oe money so scarce? Go as the reduced patient A
in why he is weak, and he will tell you an ig- or
n- norant quack has almost bled him to death; fr
id and we say what the blood is to the human
It- body money is to the body politic, and as
as well may we expect to find a healthy body T
n- without a sufficiency of blood as a prospe - d
i- ous business without sufficient money to sus
)f tain it. r
is We find from reliable data that the little se
;h empire of France is using $36 er capita, t
ig Great Britain from $25 to 29; and yet, with qu
- all the natural resources and enterprise of afi
st our own country, a have not to exceed o*
12 50; yet with the lack of money to carry on
the business lof the country, in comparison
s- with other nations, we are crushed down wi
o with an enormous public debt, and our fina- thi
e cial managers are constantly drawing from no
y the various channels of trade large amounts rol
a monthly, for the ostensible purpose of lessen- rou
b ing our debt; but had the Government acted inj
a honestly toward the people they would have otl
f paid the debt as it became due, and according
I, to the letter and spirit of the contract; that
a portion that was payable in gold in that com- hd

will hereafter have tomove on with the al
most ceaseleesinarch of the Wandering Jew.
That man must be, thorough going partisan
who is not willing to throw a shovelful of
earth upon the politicdl coffin of the carpet
bager. He has been the curse of the South
durin -his brief and locust like existence
there. ie took nothing there but hiscarpet
bag, with its paper contents, his hate of the
South and his unscrupulous ambition. He
had no interest in Southern industry or Sou
thern development. He was a messenger of
war, not of peace; for it was out of the dis
turbances which he spared no efforts to fo
ment, and for which he always had at hand
the remedy of powder and cold steel, that he
expected to profit. His vote, at the last ses
sion of Congress, was generally to be found
on the bad side of all political and financial
questions. For jobs he had the fondness of
a mouse for cheese, and was nsually detected
burrowing away in the centre of every rich
contract of franchise. Such is the species of
carpet-bagger-the worst of the genius politi
cian. We congratulate the South and the
country that the fiat of a plundered and in
dignant people is about to stamp the politi
cal life out of the whole odious race.

- i A Calil l rIa' st Stofe.
Once upon a time there stood near the I
of village of S , one of our Californin
so mounta;n towns, a beautiful cottage, em
ro bowered in vines and fruit trees. The pro- I
prietor's name was William A- . Hie was
carpenter by trade. Having acquired a'
r small fortune by mining; and being a bache
nf lor, he thought by building a cottage he
owould soon find a young lady who would i
7 consent to be his wife, and share his home
and fortune.
But, alas, like many human hopes. he was
d doomed to disappointment. After finishing
a his building, and spending the rest of his t
n little fortune in furnishing the apartments,
he found himself without a dollar, and he
was compelled to let his abode to a rich I i
g colonel, who, together with his wife and
t daughter, was visiting at that time in the
town of C- for the purpose of reemriting
his health.
I am obliged to give a short description of h
e the cottage, because it is necessary to the I
i sequel of this story, On entering the cot
tags. the visitor is struck with the exquisite
taste with which the carpenter has fitted up
the interior. A passage ran the entire d
length of the cottage. dividing it into two
compartments, the whole passage paneled I
and painted in imitation of oak and laurel. o
At the farthest end of the passage was an
oval window of stained glass, about five feet
from the floor. The cottage contained a ci
I parlor, kitchen and dining room, besides ai
two bedrooms, a pantry and washroom.
The only entrance was through the front at
door.
The colonel. together with his family and
servant girl, were the only inhabitants of at
the cottage. and nothing seemed to mar the oh
quietness of the family. Regularly, night ap
after night, they went to bed about nine ti
o'clock. me
They had occupied the cottage about four
weeks, when,, at about one o'clock at night.
the colonel thought he heard a low creaking on
noise in the passage. Thinking it might be pe
robbers, the colonel softly opened the bed- wli
room door. He was a fearless man, believe co
ing in neither ghosts nor hobgoblins. and for wli
other enemies be had a revolver in hand.
Peering in the darkness of the passage.
he saw, by the faint light through the win- tie
dow, a black shadow seemingly disappear 1il
through the wall. The same creaking was art
heard, then evc.'ything was quiet. an
The next morning. the colonel examined gir
every nook and corner of the cottage, but
discovered no secret outlet. Ho looked at
and tried all the fastenings of the doors and Ge
windows. but all were as secure as bolts and san
bars could make them. to
The next night the inmates of the cottage for
were awakenec by the screams of the ser- of
vant girl.
On entaeing the passage, the colonel found
her lying upon the floor in convulsions. th
When becoming quiet. the girl stated, that bul
as soon as she had put things all right in the jud
kitchen, she sat down to gread a newspaper. the
After reading a while, shm felt very sleepy, you
so she lighted a candle, ea o~~ * t ov1
d on the oo , Th
was .11n ellit low
SedTrom her hand. With a scream, ma
she fell to the floor and lost all conscione- p
nees.
The colonel found the key of her bedroom
on the floor of the psasage. Telling the
girl not to say anything to her neighbors pr
about the affair, at least not juntil the mys- ju,
tery was cleared up. he sent his daughter ga
to sleep with the servant girl. pl
The rest of that night passed without any yi'
OCcurence. w'
On the following morning the colonel wt
went to the cabin of the carpenter and told St
him about the mysterious u6ise and the
fright of the servant girl. The carpenter At
said he never slept in the cottage, and,
therefore, he did not know anythrng about
it.
The colonel returned bome, and to yquiet
the fears of his family, told them be had I
found out the eause of the noise-it was Jar
rats. ted
Several nights passed, and nothing was sat
seen nor heard, but on the fifth night, near
twelve o'clock, the same creaking noise was twi
repested. •
The colonel took his revolver in hand and et:
approaMbed his uedruom door, against which ari
he put his ear. He distinctly heard a low in@
shffiling sound, as if a person was moving do
towards the door. He stepped back a few tr
paces and leveled his revolver at the door
ready to fire. of
He heard a key turned in the lock, and wa
soon the door opened, and on the threshold Ye
stood the figure of a man.
The colonel took careful aim and fired.
With a groan the figure fell backward on in
the floor of the passage. w
The screams of his wife and girls were ry
fearful. but the colonel, wth a loud voice, a
stopped their outcry. Procuring a light. th
the colonel went out into. the passage. and, e
on removing a mask from the face of the di
prostrate man, he recognised, to his aston
ment the features of the carpenter, William g,
A- , his landlord. aI
On examination, it was found that Wil- ri
liam was still alive. The bullet had pene- ti
trated the arm, and, as was afterwards aes a
certained, breaking only one of the smaller n
n ff ~lsm .. _ ,..mast0 he
confessed to the colonel bow he had entered t
the house. He said that the washstand in the a
kitcben was hung on two concealed hinges. a
and as the back of the washstand was a part r
of the actual outside of the house, it took r
but a slight push and would move from its N
position. leaving an aperture large enough
for a man to crawl through into the kitchen. f
He had made a concealed door merely for I
the purpose of trying if he could construct
a secret means of egress from the house.
As he knew the colonel had a large sum of
money in his bedroom. he had made up
his mind to rob him. Twice he had entered
the house, but each time ewas soared away;
first by the colonel, whom he saw as he
opened the door, and the second time by the
I girl.
SAnd now, after his third attempt, he re
Sceived a just punishment, and he begged on
his knees for mercy.
The Colonel told the carpenter that, as he
was already punished enough, he would not
prosecute him for burglary, and the carpen
- ter. still on his knees, thanked for his lenien
ey, and promised that as long as he lived be
would never make another attempt at bur
glary.

It is already generally known that Mr.
James G. Hayes, of our town, was commit- oc
ted to jail, a few weeks ago, under an acco- Us
sation of murder.
On last Friday week, the 2d inst.. be- to
tween nine and ten o'clock, while Mr. Hayes
was asleep and his two little boys-one on er
each side of him--likewise asleep, a cow- lit
ardly wretch basely murdered him by shoot- ra
ing him in the back. through the open win
dow, with a gun., loaded, it is said, with pl
twenty-five buckshot. tr
The assassin was his own keeper. and one
of his jailors, to whom Mr. Hays. when he
was sheriff and had him in custody, was P
very kind and obligine. It was Theophilus bi
Evans who thus snatohed away the life which no
had been committed to his guardianship. P
A jury of inquest met on Saturday morn- is
ing and came to the conclusion that Evans
was the author of the crime. A prelimina
ry examination took place in the evening. ,
and the testimony adduced. folly confirmed
the verdict of the jury of inaquest. The ao
onsed was then sent to jail, where he imme
diately confessed his crime.
On Monday evening, at about half past
five o'clock, about one hundred men, armed
and mounted, mostly from the country, ar
rived in town, and dismounting. presented
themselves in front of the jail, in good order,
and without noisy demonstraticos, and de
r manded that Evans should be given up to
them. Resistance to such a force was out
,Jr al.. Ln ..- tihe demand was aeeeded
I to, and Evans was taken from his dungeon
and conducted to a tree on the Court House
square adjoining the jail, and there summsa
rily hanged in the presence of a crowd
which had gathered, when the news of the
a approach of the horsemen was made known.
5 We will add that the latter drama was
enacted. as we intimated before, very quiet
r ly, without threats, and without any demon
t stiations whatever.
