T'he Grangors aro now, comparatively spoaking, an old institution, and havoe lost somo of that mystorious torror wherawlth their earlier opera- tiona caused thom "to bo regarded. That they are an catablished fact nobody cares to dony, and if anybody folt so contradiotorily disposed the public could not be expected to share the ekepticism, x Tho Workingmen have also had their little “flare-up,” and the redoubtsble Hoffman Junior was whirled into tho seventh hoaven of notorioty by their local domonstrations, but, boyond the suddon, wnd awful elovation of tho said Hoffman, and his equally abrupt and torziblo fall from 10 steopn of PRGN Zammer it is to bo doulted whother the movement bLag mado itsels soveroly folt in this community. —_— THE ADVOOATES OF JUSTIOE, And now Ohicago, never bohind in. any work of enterprise, has mado nnew departure, and commonced tho organization of a body of mal- contonts talled ** Advocatos of Justice,” who are to bo the guardians of thoso in this city who inherit the curso of Adam, and earn their sub- slstenca in the sweat of their browa.

The first thing to bo con- sidered was & namo—sa title. Despite tho silly conundrum propounded by William Bhalspearo, ‘whieh, garnished by #omo flowers of poesy, has nesed for wisdom during many centuries, Mr, Wynkoop and her frionda steu!msflr bolieve that thero is something in a namo, Tho mau who earns his living by the swoeat of his brow, Is perpotually thirsting aftor liborty aud justice, The first ho cortainly possesses in Amorica, g0 1y organization planned for liberty conld not tail to be rogarded as suporfluous, not to say ridiculons.

Roporter—Aro the objects of the two organ- {zations identioal? Mrs. Wynkoop—I cannot ssy as to that; X have littlo or no knowledge of AMr. Earle's organ- ization, consequontly can say nothing for or against it. Roportor—DBut you think Chicago ought not, g0 tospoak, bocome a proviuco of Massachusotts in this cause? Mrs. Wynkoop smiled ambiguously mud tho converantion torminatod. —_—— THE SOVEREIGNS OF INDUSTRY. The reportoer next journeyod to tho Clarondon Hotol, on North Olark streot, and inquired for Mr. Earlg, who is known by tho stylo and fitle of *MMastor of the National Council of tho Soy- eroigne of Industry,” His fixed rosidonce is at ‘Worcostor, Mags. MR, EARLE, . Tne TaIsuNe man was shown to & oheorful room on the second floor of the hotel, where ho found the objeot of his search. Mr. Enrlo is o gontloman of some altitudo,—over 6 foot,—very thin and straight, with a pronounced American faco, clonrly cut and rathor serono In outline, but lighted by a gonial smilo.

TRoportor—Havo you auy objection to glving mo a list of the Btatos already organized, or par- tially 8o ? 1 Mr. Earle—Nono whatover. I'll just write you out a list from my note-book. The list woe made out, aud showed as follows : Massachusetts, Now Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Tslaund, Conuecticut, Marylaud, New York, Penn- gylvania, Now Jorsey, Missouri, Louisians, Ton- nesseo, Mississippl, Kansas, California, Iows, ‘Wigconsiu, and Indionn, . THE LEADENS, ‘The reporter asked if any very prominent men wore advacates of the movement in the States enumorated. Mr, Enrle—The Rev, William A, Alger, who is going to proadh in the Rov. Mr. Wendto’s Unita- rian Ohurch during his absonco, wna the first Grand-Master in Massnchusetts. Thero is no better, no more honorable man living, You will ull got to know him hore in Chicago.

SUPPLEDMENTING THE GRANGERS. Reportor—T'hon you claim that this organiza- tion of yours iz merely supplomentary to tho Grangors ? . Mr, Earle—Yos. Thoy arofor tho farmers— wo aro for the meohanics and operatives. Toporter—Massachusctts appesrs to bo the hot-bed of tho businoss ? Mr. Earle—That is an impression that I wish to dissipate. "Lis truo woilxat organized thoro, but we are national in policy. To be suro, Mas- anchusetts and Now England genorally i good grouud to work in, there aro so many large manufacturing towns. TUE BI'ECIAL POLIOY, Toportor—What do you olaim to bo the par- :[eu?lgr policy of your * Hovereigns of Indug- Br.

They make a momontary onthusissm, but are worthloss for solid work.” Give mo cool renson ovory timo, TELATIONS TO OATITAL. Roportor—Yon atatod, I think, at the outset, that you had no sympathy with Communism. Hayo you any hostility to capltal ? Mr. Barle—Only in'so far as it may roprosent monopoly, or businoss that cannot bo considerad logitimato. - We are opposed to overthing that can posgibly tond to making tho workingman a slave. Wo want to lift hi “Y and givo him somo show of roward in thia world. ‘ Reporter—Don't you think yon aro proceeding in a vory slow way about reform if gau think the workingman's caso I8 o vory hard Mr, Enrlo—I toll you wo can do more in throo yonrs, 88 wo aro working, than wo could in twenty-five yoars by any other way.

INFLUENGE OF THE ORDER. Roporter—Do you bolleve that moral power and intelloctnal Improvemont will bo sufioient for tho attaiument of your onds, or will you not, finally, bo forced into politica or revolution ? Mr. hnlo—\vhun our organization has ataln- ed full powor in the land, it will compel equity in tho relations hotweon capital and labor. Justice must bo donc to thoso who aro determined not to bo wronged. But, a8 I said at the outset, we doprecate any fanfaronade or riotous domonstra- tious. Thoy always do more harm than good. A8 TO I'OLITION. Roporter—Thon, as I undorstand you, the ) Bovuru&lg\m of Industry” will refuse to touch politics_in any shnpo or undor any circum- stances? Mr, Earle—That is putting too fino a point upon the matter. I would rather stato it in this way: When the working men and women have boon thoroughly organized,—when they have ro- coived tho soolal, intolleotual and materinl bless- ings that may rosult from that organization,— thon thoy will become intelligent voters and be capablo of judglng who shall or who shall not o thom. ~ If that is politics, you aro wolcome to enll it s0.

This movemont will take care of it~ Holf. ¢ BEN_DUTLER. - Roporter—Tharo is Bon Butler, of your Btate. Hoisan ominent lover of the spocies and a professed friend of protuction. Now, why don't - you enlist Ben Butler in your causo? Mr, Earlo—Ob, ho's just fit-for where he In. I neyor had any ambition to be associated with Mr. Butler or.to become an intorpreter of his “ philantiiropio ” parabloa. % W -The rolmner wondered whothor the * Bov- ercign of Industry” would have the pluck to say. #o much if Benjamin’s swivel oye were fixed ‘upon him, Mr, Earle, in conclusion, said that he had como from Massachusotts many {uara ago, and bad lived hero up to tho time of the flre, when he returned to his native State. Ho intonded to romain in Chicago until his work was finished,— until he had organized sovoral * Councils.” He would hold o mass-meoting of workingmen very soon, and, mesnwhile, would soe thom pri- vatoly, .

Wynkaop, whoso lottors o hnd rond in Tur Tnimune veory fro- uently, but ho belioved that tho * Bovereigns of ?ndllstry" had the “inside track,” and would roceive tho hearty support of the working people of America. Mr, Enrlo's last words to the roporter woro: ©If it was not valgar, I'd bo willing to bot a turkey suppor that, within ninety days, thore uhall bo cstablished in tho United States 1,000 “ Councils " of the * Boveroigns of Industry.” ————> OTHER, ORGANIZATIONS. Now Orleans hos also taken a band in tho workingmon's businoss, Thero has boon re- contly organized and chartored in that city & body known as **Tho Mochanics' and Working- mon's Co-oporative Associntion, which has, pro- !nsnélx. tho samo objoect in viow as that put forward by the Massachusotts organization. By tho way, Mr. Earlo atated in his conversa- tlon with the reportor that a branch of his so- lcioty had already beon ostablished in Neow Or- oans, IN NEW YORK, He likewiso olaimod that several roporters on the Now York press had joined * Councils ” in that city, among them one John H, Neston, and an_omployo of tho Tribuna of the Eatorn Metropolis, IN CHICAGO.

As for the at- tractions of tho pieco and the gunmy of the acting, thoy were all that could bo- asked. “The Booret Marringo” was _the flrat pleco, and a very smtty one. It has the sdditlonal recommondation of being new in Obicago, and will continue to poseess this un- usual morit to ovarybody in the city if business doea not improve. It is a bright "little drama, only two acts long, with a pronounced plot and sovoral distinot obaractars, all of which are acted with more or loss fidelity. The part played by Mr, Btoddart is that of Joe Spurrilt, grandfathor of tho unfortunate young woman whase clan- destino marriago furnishes the koy to the wholo situation.
