Bection.5 of the Workingmen's Ascociation ot Miinois held a large and enthasiastic ratifica~ tion meeting last evening at the corner of Church street and North avenue for the purpose of rati~ fsing ho platform and plan of organization, ehich wero fully reported in last Aondsy's TarsusE, and of which tho other morning dailies nave as yot had no tidings, till waiting for the Iarge mass-meeting to be hold to adopt these documents as the Jews wait for the coming-of tle Mesaiah. Mr. H. Schlueter wos elected President, and Br. H. Stahi Secretary. ME. SCHLUETEBR on taking the chair stated that when the work- ingmen marched to tho Councit about four weeks ago, their Committeo was told tha the Council could do nothing, because there was no law upder which they could assist the working- men. They, therefore, had banded together to Beo to 606 to it that such laws were mnde as would give the workingmen their rights. A plen of organizstion and platform had been prepared with great care which were adopted ot 8 moss- wmeeting last Saturday, and of which Tme ToreoSe slone had published a foll and correct 1eport. This platform and plan of organization would now be resd and explained to them by Mr. Thorsmark, after which all the workingmen who wero willing to fight for their political and social liberation would be expected tostep up to the Becrotary and siga their names to the platform. AR, THORSMARE then read the platform and plan of organization which appearcd in last Monday's TRIDUNE, ab conclusion of which he went on’ to say that from the platform they could Jses that the workingmen wore in earnest about the movement. ALl organizations heretoforo were gotten up for the purpose of making political capital in the interest of a few unprincipled sconndrels, but this orgaization was & pure and undefiled one, made for the solo purpose of ele- vating the workingmen fo that position in soci- ety which of right belonged to them. History tanght that all boginnings were Lard, and they shonid therefors not expect to ' win an easy victory. Many organizations of the eamo sort wore started during the last decade, but went o picces again on ac- count of s wansof harmony and uuityamong the workingmen. This Association, uulike the others, would live and be CROWNED WITE ICTOTY, if each workingmen put his shoulder to the wheel, and joined the society, which was des- tined to procure them their fiberty. It was their holy daty to join in the wotk which Lad been eo auspiciously begun. ~They were not_infalfible, snd mistakes nught bo made, but iheso would easily be correctod, if thiey only worked with a will in harmony and unity, and Lefore long they would become uch 2 power 25 n0 host on earih could withstand. RATLROAD COMPANTES bad lately become so impudent, all-impor- tant, =nd sclf-suflicient os to demand such rates from the farmers_for bringing their products to market as would ruin every farmer in the conntry. Thoy had, thereforo, like the work- ingmen, organized an association, similar to the Werkingmen's Association, under the name of Graogers, for the purpose of resisting the en- croachments of theeo bloated monopolists, The farmers were elso workingmen who were op- pressed by tho monopolists, snd who wero striving to shake off their yoke; it was, ‘herefore, the duly of the = working- men to unite with them in a common :auge, and show these impudent corporations that they could no longer do aa they pleased, 1c.d that the Iaborers, had also some righte which badto berespected. Hethen showed the ad- vaciages that would sccrue to the laboring classes, if the State would take charge of rail roads, canals, telegraphs, etc. Many might say tk:a Sfato could not properiymansge those enter- prises, becausd officeholders were dishonest, but when the workingmen became strong enougd, they would elect none but Lonest men to office, and theso objections conld not bo arged. THE BANINGS DANES £houtd nlso be managed bythe Blate, bocanss - workingmen Lad their emell savings deposited in theso inatitutions, and, if managed by private individnals, they might lose their money through dishonesty of tlie oflicers. In support of this, he referred to the case of F. S. Winelow, of the Bezadinaviap Bapk, who ran away to Italy with the hard earned savings of hundreds of laborers. They were in favor of abolishing tho present confract gystem, becouso contrscts were usually given .fo unprincipled scoundrels, who wanted to make all the monoy out of them they could, and who would prosecute no work in unfavorable eersops. When 30,000 workingmen stood in front of the Council ' Chamber, ihe - Aldormen promised everything, but 50 500n a3 they bad left thoy refused to do eoything. . If the work wero givon o the workingmen direct, it could be done much cheaper andav _times when work was not easily obtained elsewhere, CHANGE THE LAWS. -Thero should bo a ciange in our present eys- tem of laws, bocauso they were made in tbe interest of the rich end the monopolists. Not only did s workingman ricaive small wages, but, in numberless in- stances,be could not obtain this bard-enrned pit- £apce. and if ho sued for it ho was mable to ob- tain justice. According to tho present system of 1awe, it was & enme o he poor. The Penitentiary work should also bo under thesupervision of the Btate, instead of contractors, who paid bat 50 or 60 cents for a convict'e work, and these scamps ware getting ich on the work of the unfortu- Date prisoncrs. He advocated in strong terms : COMY ULSGEY EDUCATION, for how could & man who could neither read nor write be expected to obey laws of which bo had 1o comprehension ? And besides, sn ignorant, nneducated msn ws dospised by tho better classes, and particularly by the press.

The small storckeopers and professional men wero wrong, in galng with tho aristocracy and bourgeois. 1t was the intorost of theso men to bo on the side of tho Working. men beoansa they Were woreo off than o lnbor: er. While » laborer, after having performed bis hard dsy’s work hiad nothing on * his mind, theeo men wero warried to death, not knowing where to get the money with which to pay theit dobts. If it were not for tho workingmen the; would starve, because they bought the bread from the bakers, the dry goods Leepers, and the meat from the buichers. Bo- fore a year had pasged, these small merchants would be on their sido, and then good-bye bour- goois. " AR, ABNOLD was noxt introduced. more than their dues, and yob the bourgeois {irongh thelr papers told tho' peoplo that thoy intended to rob them of their fortunes. The workingmen wanted nothing but what belonged 10 them,—only reasonable wages, but they ob- Jected to the wages of stervation. Themen who frow rich on the work of poor laborers called themselves Christisns, while in reality they were nothing but pharisces and hypocrites. Tho time wag not far Off when they would ruls over these Christian gentlemen who had brought them to the verge of starvation. ~Tho newspapers kept ov assuring tho public that the workingmen would be quiet again with the arrival of spring, when tlioy could again tecure work, but in this they wore_sadly mistuken. How could they Leep quiet? Look what s workingmen got. About 2 dollar » day, and on this amount they were told to lay enough aside for the winter. Of course, if s man would spend nothing at all, and live’ & hundred thousand years, he wouldbe_ablo to save $100,000, but othervwiee it would bo an impossibility. They had ho, power to chango all this by working haod in hand and shonlder to shoulder. They should therefore carefully study the platform and live up to it, and the thousands of profes- sional politicians who bave lived upon the fat of the land would be known no moro.

[@The injured author of *The Wicked World " has celebrated with much rythm and no little pathos (not to mention tho agonizing quality of his rhymes) the sorrow of Thompson Green and Harriot Halo, s loving pair who were united in the bonds of matrimony.

From the Louisburg (N. C.) Courier, On Wednesday night about 11 o’clock, our citizens were aroused trom their slambera by the ringing of the Court-House bell, and_soon_ was discovered tha the jail wes on fire. Immediate- Iy a large concourso gathered around the build- ing and made the most strenuous exertions to oxtinguish the fiames, which was soon found to bo fruitlees undertaking, from the fact that the jailer was absent with tho koys, and it was m- posiible to_gain entrsnce into tho buitding. Axes wero then brought into requisition, and the outer door was soon demolished, and sttompts ‘made fo recoue the prisoners confined in the dungeon. The door of the dungeon wss elso locked, and the Ley not to be found ; and soon tho gmoke became g0 dense and suffoceting that it drove every ome from the entrance, and two helpless mortals were loft to their doom.

The necessory perjury having been conscientiously accomplished, the owner of the licenscj and the lady named therein cast about for some one to join them in wedlock. Miss Brown thought the thing should be dome in style ; 8o did John. He knew a man who could do it with gravity and unction ; it wes Justice Bapyon. Smuth and Banyon had met before, ander circumstances Which necessary to relate mibmtely to his betrothed, and Banyon had suspended the fine, and advised John to got married. Here wass glorions opportunity to show Banyon how obe- diently his advice was followed. To Banyon's offico thoy accordingly went, and the $10 which had been 80 astutely withheld from the reforma- $ory institutions to which it should have gone same weeks provionsly was folded sway with other $10 bills reposing in the judicial pocket~ book. ““Mary Aon Brown that was,” said the Judge, taking a second kiss, ‘¢ \i“ are now Mary ‘Ao’ $mith; you areman and wife. You haye each other, and I baye $10, Are yo isfied 7" “Yes,” responded they. 8o am I,” said Mr. Banyon. 5 And there the matter might have ended. Thera are plenty of Smiths in the world, and this particular pair might never have cropt into the colurans of TrieuNe, but for Banyon. ‘They might bave kept house and reared little Smiths by the dozen, withont the world paying any attention to them, but for Banyon. They ‘might look their fellow-boarders in the face this ‘morning without blushing, but for Banyon ; in- deed they might be in a state of honeymoon Dliss atthis particular moment, instead of feel- ing very guilty, but for Banyan. When John rose yesterday morning, not having been married much more than a month, he wag more in love with his wifo than ever, aua, having Lissed her, went down to the store with a light heart. Some of the fetlows i the store looked at him with 8 smile. “ Smith,"” eaid Robinson, *“ You're & sharp cuss, by the Old{Harry.” Smith thought he was, on general principles, but vaguoly wondered why Kobinson should have discovered it st this moment. He only smiled, however. *'You ought to treat, you old rascal, after such a sell a8 that.” Smith really did no know what the sell was, but there was evident admiration in Robiuson’s look, 80 He treated. 4 Smith,” eaid Jones, when be returned to the atore. “let me congratulate you, you sly old ;_osln‘l:.

For the lifo of him Jones couldn't tell why he was thus flattered, Ho might havo bad s raice of salary ; might have had a fortuno left him ; what in thunder was this joke on him.

At 8 o'clock he went home to dinner, &and ran up-stairs to his Toom to see his wifo. Mrs. Spriggins stopped him. ** Whero are you going,” eaid she, wheroupon & &nicker went up from several young ladies concealed on the staircase and behind the doors. “ Going to see my wife.” responded Bmith in astonishment, ** what clse do you suppose 7" *‘Your wife,” screamed Mrs. Spriggins, look- ing very virtuous. “His wife,” enickered the young ladies in chorus, also inexpreasibly shocked. “YWhat in_tbunder does all this mean?" shouted Smith, making bolt for the stairway. 1 Yes, what does it mean ' retarted ihe land- Iady, with trae feminine logic. * That's wiat T'd like to know.

He wasone to fhree. The young ladies insisted that Miss Mary Aun Brown shonld have her meals in her own room until the marriage ceremony had been performed by & bona fdo clorgyman ; Mre, Spriggias insigted that these meals should b chargedextra; Mlr. Smith should take the spare room on_the third floor, the young ladies contended; and pay for his occupancy of it, as Mrs, Spriggine just- 1y observed; and, after the ceremony, the newly-wedded pair should give & party, to ‘which the Misses Spriggins should invite their friends ; and that the expense of such & party should be borne by Mr. Smith, was AMrs. Sprig- ging' last condition. Meanwhile, Mr. Bmith was 10 give his word of honor that be wonld pot at- tempt to see or speak with Miss Brown until they were legally married, all commanication bes tweon them to be through the medistion of Mrs. Spriggins, who would, to remove all possi~ ble chance of furtber scandal, rotain the key of the unmarried lady's bed-room, and charge ex~ tra for the services she thus generously pledged hereelf to accord. ‘There was nothing lett for Smith but to coneent to these propositions, which, 28 the reador will observe, were excesdingly gencrons in their spirit, and to convey himself down town last night, to make his ‘woes known et this offico, - Ar. Bmith's card, in which ho endeavors to set himself right before the world, is too full of ob- jurgatory remarks upon Mr. Banyon's eyes to Warrant its publication, and contains allusions o Mrs. B, and her daughters which are uugal- lant in tho extreme, and for which, under any other circumstances, he wonld degervo s thrash- ing from Mir. Perkins, as champion of the Bprig- s family generally, and Miss Belle particular- . Thus the case stands at present. The nexs chapter of this veracious history will ba looked for with interest. = BANTON EXPLAING. 4 A reporter of Tre Tasuxe called on Mr. A. H.

The inquiry was made owing to a replevin caso which wa8 recently bronght before Mr. Banyon, whorein the attorney for tho defense took excoption to the jurisdiction of the Court, The **Judge” was found on the bench, engaged in business of sn im t nature to those concerned, and the conversation with him was necosssrily brief and to the point. The reporter asked, withont delay, what resson Mr. Banyon hod_for suppos- ing that he bad any autherity to_admunister law a8 a Justice of the Peace. Mr. Banyon replied that he was elected in 1869 as a County Magis- trate ; that he and Mr. Alax Eberhard, who was elected to a similar office in the same yesr, wero commisgioned by Gov. Palmer to act a8 -County Mngistrates ; that the commissions do Dot bpocify when their terms of office shall como to an ond; and that he (Banyon) intended to hold on until some person was legally desig- nated to whom he could turn over the books of his office. Ar. Banyon was eevero, in o brief way, on the newspapers, which, in his_opinton, did not know aything sbout the legal point at issue. He was willing to retire to private life any moment, but there were $100,000 in judg- ments upon his books, ond fe did not feol like desorting the persons who had secured those judgments. he knew whers he could placo the books, so that thn per- 8008 who had judgment could _legn_lfllg collect them, he would be willing to relinquish his of- fice. Unfortunately, however, he did not know where, or with whom, to place tho books, aud he was therefore determined to remain 2 Justice of the Peace until his successor was appointed, or until ha was legislated out of ofice by the Gen- cral Assembly.
