THOE * TIArEs" DISOBACED. ‘Wasmxaroy, D. C., Jan. 18~Tho glory of the Now York Times has dopartod. Asan organ of the Administration, its sun hos sot. Tho Presidont hos long despleed the paper for its contemptible, sickening sycophancy, but out of delicate seruplos hehas forbornesaying anything indicative of his feclings, Of late, howoever, ho bas not sorupled to expross his detostation for tho publication in round terms, havine eagerly seizod upon the upportupity for. brasking with it which wns offerad by tho course it adopted in tho mattor of the Oushing nomination. Socro- tary Fish bad his duy some wooks ago, and improved th§ occasion. Jenniugs came over from New York to fix matters. Ho fools that tho Times, as the National organ of the party, onght to have a monopoly of all the official nows from the Ozpitol, and s the National Re- publican of this city was {avored in this respect, to the detriment of tho Times, ho was soro ag- gduved. Full of his mission, he firat callod at tho tato Department aud INTERVIEWED FISH, The Becretary was not fuclined ta sco tho case exactly from the nt\mfl%oxm of 1o Times, but by way of onco"raging the naturslized English- man, ho gave lum quite a longtuy account of the ‘Spanish complications, which wero thon throatoning, with many gmntis which he impart. od copfidontisily, making his injunctions of secrecy strong aud imperative. otwithstand. lgj“l.\ this, howovor, Mr, Jennings. telegraphod s papor nut only all that tho “Sturctary given him without resorvo, but a great deal more, with his own sagacious inferences and do- ductions. When all this was printed, tho Scorc- tary found it necoseary to correct the impression in Mr. Jenning's mind that the Zimes was_tho organ of the Administration. At loast, Mr. Fish was quite suro that tho Times was no organ of tho State Departmont, sud so statod in omphatio terma; and now tho Adminiatration is +IN ONASE FOR A NATIONAU ORGAN, Spoculations on the subject agreo that neithor tho Sun, tho World, nor the Tribune will fill the bill, and the ouly one remaining is the Herald, ‘which John Russell Young Las just come home to manage. The Herald, a8 au . Administration organ, would present a singular appenranco. CHANGE IN THE TLIASUNY DEPADTMENT, Tumors, this timo aeming from Administra- tHon sources, are in cirenlation to the offect that & ohange ia to ba made in the Treasury Dopart- ment. Acoording to theso reports Richardson is to bg succooded by Edwards Piorrapout, or ex- Gov. Morgan, of New York, Riclkardson denios the truth of tho rumor. TUE PRESIDENT says that when his term is expired he will go to Entrope with his family, to remain abroad “until the residence be contemplateq bwilding in Wash- ington is completod and ready.for ocoupanoy. THE ARMY APPROPRIATION DILL, when it is roported to tho Houso this weok, will contain an important provision emauating from tho War Claims Committee. At tho present time a great mauy of the claims arising out of the Iate war are reforred for investigation and adjudication to the hoads of various Depart- menta, Some aro considored and Enaaed upon by the Quartermaster-Genoral; othors by tho lommissary-General; and still others by Committoes of Congress. It is now proposad to cousotidato all this business and placo itin the hands of tho Southern Cluims Cowmmission, This, of course will Lave the effect ot continu~ ing the Commiseion indofinitoly, and enlarging its functions, and may possibly occasion tho employmant of o considerablo number of oxtra clerks’ but it is thought that the work will be moro thoronghly and effoctively dono than under tho prosont eystom, which is o syatem af all, The Southern Claims Commissions at presont are Mr, Addis, of Vermont; Mr. Forris, of New York; avd Mr. Howell, of Towa.

DISTRIOT APFAIRS. ‘That, the District Bing Is going to experie nce diffionlty in gotting through Congress its littlo sppropriation of €4000,000 for ptreot improve- menty there i8 no longer reagon to doubt. The Committee on the Distriot of Columbia s been reiuforced by the addition of sovoral new mom- bors, ong tho mombers are two or threo gentlomen who reside in citios whore public im- provoments ara made at the oxpensoof the proporty bopefited, Thouo lnttor gentlomon cannot understand why the awners of proporty in Washington should bo exazapted from the S!:Qymant of tho expensos inourred by the atd of Public Works in improving aud bosutifying their city. Thoy sro willing to vote an appropristiop for paving strcous ,Ianfill[i on land owned and oceupiod by the National Govornment, but aro ot DISPOBED TO DBAW ON THE TREASURY to improve private proporty. ‘Lho Hon. John B. Rice, of Chicago, who is & mombor of the Comumittoo, i said lobo quite indigunnt, aud to vigorously denounco tho idos of making tho propoeod” donation, Whils be was DMoyor of Chicago, o largo " portion of that city was raised to giade ‘nud tho streots paved, aud ko has no recollsction that the Genoral Government was called - on to aattle auy of the bills of coutractors, I li thought Gov.

A traitor to his comntry, s moral lopor, and an advoeate indifteront to his ouno, but of cqual rapacity with evoty client, had nearly scaled the battlemonts of tho Sen- ate, aftor many ropulses thoro in other days, and bounded mto the soat of Chisf-Justico Ghase.

Owing to'tho snow-storm the mooting was but thinly attonded, not over &0 workivgmeu being prosont. At about 8 o'clock the meeting was organized by tho election of Obriatian Kranso as President, and Clinrles Winnen s Sceretary. ORGANIZING. * Mr. Krauso said thot the object of the meot~ ing was mainly for tho' purpose of organizing tho workingmen in accordsnco with 'tho abfects of thoir now platform, z Mr. Winnen then read tho plan of organization and tho platform, and then procoeded to axplaln and shiow tho oxcollonce of cach plank, giving tho document noarly the snmo interprotation sy was dono by Mr. Thorsmark ot Saturday’s moot- ing, and o roport of which was publishied fu you- terday’s ToipuNe, He continued by saying that Bolong a8 workingmen were divided and split up in antagonistio factions, their existonce would bo insccuro and hazardous. It was therofore a quostion of life and death with thom, and those who mnoglected to join the organization would commit a crimo ngainst themsolvea and their families. The much vaunted lberty of this «country waa all bosh so long as ono class of her citizens wore preforrod to aunother. Thore could bo NO LIBERTY WITIIOUT EQUALITS. The bourgools wore daily gettivg scronger, and the workingmon proporiiounity woaker. ' The question thoreforo arose, how could tho working- mon got out of this dilemma; how could they botter their condition? - Tho answor was very simple. By meeting together nnd olgnnlziu,i ano workingmon's associution after,another until they would bo able to become masters of the sitantion, TEORGANIZATION. They would then reorganize tho systom of laws in this country and make it tho boet laud for workingmen to live on the faco of the carth. Workingmen had just as much right to bo pro- tected by tho Htate as the protcotionist. The State should support them whon out of breud; there was no use for mpational wealth, for it was always coextensive with tho destitu- tion and poverty of the poople. As tho ctisis was the product of tho present rotton uiate of soclety #o workingmen sociotics were tho natural product of the crisis, They would ulti- mately become the.producers themsolves, and recoivo tho Bole benefit of their labor. Fhen each workingman eould support himself and - family in & respectable manuer, and would no louger bo dopendent upon is presont mester, ‘omployer. -~ DTORMATION GIVEX.. .

Mr, Cori Xlings repiied that the report of Tax TRIBUNE was correct in overy partioular, and the platform roported in that paper was the real platform adopted at that mass-meoting, and no other piatform would bo adopted nor any more masg-moetings held. The present meotinga wero only ratification meetiugs for the purpose of explaining each plank in their platform. DMr. Groophut translated to tho other reporters what Mr, Klings bad said, but they refuscd to mako a noto of 1t, atill contonding that anotler mass- meeting for tho purpose of adopting some other Platform for tho bonofit of tho papors they Top- yasent, would be held ot some future doy. * R, CARL KLINGS thon made » very powerful specch, beginninj with a furious attack on tho Slaals Zeitung an its propriotor, Mr, Hosing, saying it was tho most impudent action on reco: for o paper liko the'Staats Zeilung to say that their pint- form was almost oxnctlfi what it had advocated for yenrs, no paper in tho city haviog abusod them with such msliguity as tho Staals Zeitung.

But that would be tho only way of saving ihe farmors from extortion by monopolists. That the contract system should bo chaneed, nono dared to gainsny.
