THE RETORT-MEN. The Laborers at the Gas Works Ac- cept the Situation, and a Reduction of Wages. Character of Their Work, ard Hours of Labor=-=Wonders of the Gas Wozlks. Bomething hes already been said in these col- ‘umns about the anticipated strike of the retort- men employed by the Chicago Gas Light and Coke Company ; the question has been heard on ‘both sides, while the Company still demand a statement with reference o themselves. 1t was stated in Tee TRIDUNE on Sundsy that the men had a double cause of complaint against their employers, one being the reduction of their pay from $8 a day to $2.50, the other being the postponement of the pay-dsy. To-this the Directors reply that the rate at which the men were employed was $2.50, at which sum they have worked for & long time. During the early part of June, when the heat began to become unondurable, the retort-men ap,.ealed to the Pres- ident of the Company, through the Superintend- ent, Mr. P. T. Bentiss, for an advance, complain- ing that the heat was intolerable, and that unless the advance was made they would strike. BMr. Cobb promptly acceded to their demands, as he ‘believed them reasonable, and because, at that senson of the year, laborers could not be ob- tained. -A fortnight ago the men were notified that,"the winter having set in, when working ‘before a furnace would not be o hardship, their i pay would be reduced again to the sum paid them before the advance was made. To this a number of them agreed, while & comparatively small proportion ineisted upon obtaining all they could. The reason for changing the pay-day- is that the city doés not pay for its gas until the middle of the month, nor are the gas bills collected from individuals until about that date. This being the case, to pay the hands, soms 300 in number, the Company-was compelled_ to: borrow, when there was 0o necessity for their doing 80 beyond the custom of paying off at the end of the month. Yesterday morning was pay-dey, and as threats had been made by one or two of the most igno- rant and least iractable of the men, Captuin Gund nnd Sergeant Hathaway, having given orders at the Station for prompt assistance, if necded, stationed themselves at the Gas Works, near the corner of Hawthorne avenue and Divis- jon streot. There wasno ueed of any protec- tion from the anthoritics, however. At naon, the night gang, baving waited to confer with the dny gang, camo up for their pay. As ecach man presented himself he was asked whether he would work for £2.50 a day. One aftor another the men agreed to do 80, with the oxception of g“o;knps balf & dozen, who equivocated and were ischarged. The rest returned to their work without any disturbance, as sgreeablo as thoey could ba. Ono of the retort-men made = statement o day or two since, that he and his companions werd drendfully overworked; that their hours wero from 62.m. to 6p. m, for the day gang, and from 6 p. m. to 6 8. m. for the night gang; that the men were not nllowed time oven to take n moal, and that their work entitled them to much higher pay than_they were getting. It appears, however, that while their hours are 12, their ac- tual work occupies only 6 hours. ' The “ rotorts” are changed consecutively, and when closed up are left to the process of buking. During this operation, which occupless stated time, themen haye nothing to do; can eat and drink, and do anything they like until tho time arrives for un- londing the retorts. It is true that the work is not of the choicest character, bnt that is true of hod-carrying ; itis continuons t-ough- ont the year, and the pey is actually good. It requires no vast smount of mechanical aptitude to shovel coal into & retort; & day's practico will fit one for that, provided his arms are strong ; moris any skill called for to gid in clearing away tho debris from the reforts; throwing cold water upon the coal or closing the retort after it has been recharged. The reporter was shown through the entire Gaa Works yesterday,and initiated into the mys- tories of making gas. Ho was conducted through the enormous shed which can hold 50,000 tonsof corl ; was shown the machinery by which threo vesecls can be unloaded ot once ; the ingonions cars which run on rails at the top of the huilding, and are made, by an ingenious con- trivance of which Mr. Benties is the inventor, to dump their load mechanioally and then run back for another load; tho retort-house filled with blazing coal used in baking the coal in the re- torts above, and smolling terribly; another new invention by tho Superintendent to replace the | prescnt _eystem of *hydroulic mains” and ! “rgeals, " and substituto en expansion joint in | the §ns pipes for the présent pipe; also, the purifying, messuring, and governing processes, all of which are_to the uniniated quito wonder- ful. What could be more surprising than to learn that, by placing an additional weight on the governor in the Superintendent’s room, tha effeot would be felt in half 3 minnteat Doug- Ias Placo ? or that gvery particlo of gas trav- ersed a distance of 105,000 foet over pure lime beforo it was fit for use ? or that & mijlion and 5 half feet of gas was made daily 7 But the most surprising thing yot was the smell, Ono is pre- pared for some glight odor in e works, espe- cially where the manufacture of gas ia more ex- tensively carried on than in any other city in the county except New York, but that the smell /should be unutterably foul is indeed surprising. But the men thrive on the hydrogen, and sre protected from epidemics by the smmonis; warm their toes at the furnace, strengthen their mauscles in the coal shed, and black their faces in every dopartment, It is very surprising.

A Committee of the Liquor Leagus inter- viewed the Council Judiciary Committee, at the City Clerk’s office, yesterday afternoon. The conversation, which was informal, was in refer- ence to the Sundny law. The whiskey and beer sellers desired to know what objection there conld be to sclling liquor on Sundsy, if the front doors of the saloons were kept closed. They de- sired to effect a compromise, but the two Alder- mcn present did not feel at liberty to give them any enconragement. The Committeo of Seventy met at the Temper- ance Bureau, on East Adams_strect, yestorday sfternoon, and informslly discussed the ques- tion, *“Why does not the Mayor do his duty ?” They rosched mo docision. Tho gentlemen claim that His Honor does not perform his chole duty, in that he neglects to revoko the licenses of the seloon-keepers convicted of vio- Inting the Sundsy ordinance. A list of sixty convictions had been submitiod to him, and he had said he would congider the matter. The Com- mitteo had another list of seventy-five names, and did not know whether they had bet- ter gend it to him. Several plans were suggested to induco the Mayor to revoke licenses, but none was adopted. ~They said they did not wish to irritate or inflame His Honor by any demand, but it scemed to them that he should perform his duty as requested by tho Iaw, in order to secure the proper enforcement of the Sunday ordinance.

It is believed that itwill work herm to the Instituiion, destroying, a8 it does, the ides of permanency nowhere elsa of more value than to the cheirs of Professors in our larger institutions, whose value should ripen with years. The rule, if it haa any effect, would make every Professor & time-server, with an. eye continually out for re-election. 1t is 60 prominently discussed, with so fow dis- genting voices, that it is believed the Board will themselves abolish the rule, and, when they find Tight men in the right place, keep them, and the longer the better.

AR English Judgeships. From the New York Evening Post, Mr, Justice Hannon, who has just been ap- pointed to succeed Lord Penzaneo as Judge of the English Probate and Divorce Court, is the zfiiqgeat Judge on the bench. Henever ‘ took a8 it is termed—. e., was called within the ' inner bar as o Queen’s counsel—but was raised direct from being & m‘fiif"‘“' barrister to a geat on the bench. He will be the third Judge appointed to the Court of Probate and Divorce, since its institation in 1858. 5 The salary attached to this office is the same as that of the ordinary Judges,—$25,000 a year, —uwith a rotirinql\poneion of 317,500 after fifteen years’ service. The position is.difficalt and ar- duous, but the temptation to take the post is that the Judge of this Court is an autocrat, and is alweys appointed ) member of the Privy Counil, and bas.more patronage at his dis. posal than all the rest of the Judges put together. When the English _probate gyetem was remodelled, in 1838, the yarions ancient Courts, both civil and e cclesias. tical, for proving wills, were, at a stroke, super- ceded bythe Court of Probate, and in their stead forty * district registries™ established over the country, at large towns whore wills are proved.- A new will must now be proved within the district in which the testator died or at the \érinuipal registry in London. The Judge of the ourt appoints all these registrars, both in town and country, and in this way has patronage to the extent of zbout 330,000 g yesr, In former days the Judges g0ld their patron- ago, and the first Lord Ellenborough was offered ©400,000 for the reversion of the place of Clerk of the King's Bench. He declined this offer, and gave the appointment to his son, who died two. years ago, having held tho office—worth 235,000 a year—about forty years, The story is well known of how his father heard of the vacancy when out riding on horee- back; immedistely dismounte groom to hold his horse, Ing & pencil from his pocket wrote pointment on a ecrap of paper, the' groom being witness and the saddle serving as table. Then he mounted and rode comtortu%ly home, secare of & splendid provision for Lis son even if he should himself be thrown and Lilled on the 8pot. Noarly all the irant legal sinccures in England are now gone, but the greatest yet remaius in tho shaps of iwo offices worth nearly $60,000 a year, which have been held for about ffty years by an old clergymen’ who has had nothing on earth to do it return save to sign his name in receipt. This venerable ecclesiastic, to whom such an amazing share of legal loaves and fishes have fallen, is & Mr. Thurlow, nephew of the celebrated Lord Chancellor of the time, the school companion of Cowper, to whom there is such froquent allusion in that poet’s lei- ters. To feather the nest of his family was sn object which Thurlow never lost sight of. ‘When he asked for the Bishopric of Durbam, the great pecuniary prize of the Dritish bench of. Bishops, and thon worth $150,000 o’ year, Georgo the Third said: ‘‘Anything else, my Lord ; but the Bishopric of Durham has always been 'bestowed on_gentlemen of ligh family and position.” “Then, Sire,” said Thurlow, “T ask it for the brother of the Lord:High Chancellor of Evgland.” And the King had to givein. : Sales of offic2s are now, and long have been, completely at an end, and the judicial bench is atterly free from all suspicion of complicity in such proceedings. - Mr. Justice Hanpen's successor 28 Puisne Judge is Mr. Archibald, brother of the British Consul General at this port. —The Board of Commissioners of Leaven- worth County, Kansas, have elected Mrs. Mast, widow of the late Register of Deeds, to serve out the term of her husband. —Father ‘De .Smet, the Jesuit Missionary, +whoso labors among the Indians of tho Upper Misaouri, Californiz, Oragon, and the Wostern Territories, have rendered his name -familiar to the peoplo of the Westorn States, is lying dan- geronaly ill af 8t.
