THE EIGHT HOUR MOVEMENT. > A Grand Demonstration—Torchlight Pro- cession—Five Thousand Workingmen —Mass Meeting at the City Hall—R. Jutions, Speeches, Transparencies, a Music. The Torchlight Procession and Mass Meeting oftbe Workingmen atthe City Hall last eve- ning was the grandest affair of the kind ever attempted in Washington. All the different trades were identified with the movement for a reduction of the time of labor to eight hours per day, and at preliminary meetings had not only made elaborate arrangements for their own equipments, but had contributed largely to a general fund for expenses Yesterday, the stand at the City Hall was completed, and attracted throughout the day no little attention, Over the arch in front was inscribed in large letters, « Eight hours a legal day's work.” Surrounding the speaker were the mottoes, « We will support for political po- ‘sition those only who favor eight heursas a legal day’s work.” “Our cause is based upon the principles of justice, humanity, Christian civilization, and must succeed.” “The union ot the trades for the sake of happiness and pres- perity.”” * Ill fares the land to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates and men ecay.”” “Limitation by law of the hours of labor to eight.” “Hasten the day when we shall hear no more of honorable industry being common or unclean.” “To dignify labor make it less a toil and more a pleasure.” “Society is but the intellectual ladder, to climbit we must have time for mental culture.” Behind these mottoes gas jets were burning, giving a very pay effect to the stand, while the frame work was covered with blxe, and the main body of the stand with the national colors. The crowd commenced assembling at the City Hall about half-past cix, and steadily in- creased in size, notwithstanding that hundreds were constantly leaving for theavenue to view the procession as it passed along. The first division of the procession was or- ganized at the foot of Capitol Hill, and the sec- ond division at the Navy Yard, the latter marching up and joining the other division before the column moved. At about half-past seven the procession, headed by the committee of arrangements, visitors and martial music, moved off in the following order: FIRST DIVISION, Chief Marshal, Wm. R. McLean; Aides, Nor- val W. King and Thomas Greer. Employees of the Currency Bureau, Treas- ury Department, numbering seventy-two men, marehaled by Mr. J. Q. Larman. They had in line a huge transparency on a wagon, gaily decorated with flags and evergreens, and drawn by six bay horses. On one side wasa representation of a $50 seven-thirty coupon note, with coupons attached, bearing under- neath the motto, “The note of a free goyern- ment.” Upon the opposite side was a $10) greenback, and 4 representation of a hydrawic press, with the motto, + Eight hours dry print- ing beats ten hours wet printing,” and « Eight hours constitutes a day’s work for us—may the same rule apply to all.” On another transpa- rency borne . this delegation was a portrait of S. M. Clark, surrounded with the words, «Pioneer of eight hours work—the workman’s friend.” The men also carried a number of Chinese lanterns and torches. Next followed the Columbia Typographical Society, Daniel Harbaugh, marshal, headed with Rice’s band, (formerly the 2d District regiment band.) There were about one hun- dred and fifty men of this organization in line. ‘They had with them a beautifal car decorated with flowers, evergreens, flags, &c., drawn by four horses, in which were a press and cases of type; with men at work, engaged in printing several pieces of poetry called “The Working- men’s Procession” and “The Eight Hour Cause,” copies of which were industriously distributed among the thousands of persons who crowded the sidewalks. In the latter named piece Of poetry appeared the following significant yeree: We're 4 power in the nation— We have yotes to mould the laws— Let ns then support for office Only those who aid our cause. The moitors on this car, whi much attention, were “The Prin’ telligencers who Chronicle the Tim publican Union. the Star of nations.” and “The Press civili elevates, makes States and men—why doom its operators to darkne: poverty and ceaseless toil.” Seyeral transpa- rencies were alxo carried by the members of the society, upon which appeared the fol- lowing — iuscriptious ; “Mechanies’ Time- table—Time for Improvement,” « E stor, Onward and Upward,” “Time tor Em- ployment, Time for Rest,” “We enlighten others, help us,” “No night werk in the tion, ~ is & Blessing, its abuse a Curse, “Eight Hours a Day’s Work,” “Strike While the Iron is Hot.” The employees of the Repair Shop of the Government Printing Office were in line, with the members of the Typographical Society, and had with them a car, drawn by horses, in which was a small steam engine, lathes, &c., with men at work.

This associa- tion had a magnificent car in line, in which was aruling muchine, in full operation, with men at work and a lady folding books. On | this wagon appeared the motto: “Paper raling capital must be ruled by labor.” Another wagon bore on each side the following motto: “The Press, the Charch, the Home, mighty pillars that support the nation. We ask tor time to use them.” In the rear of the same wagon was a representation of the book- binders at work. The clock indicates five utes of seven p. m., and one workman says, “Will that whistle never blow!” Another, ~My lodge meets to-night, but L “tlose the time to atten Yet another. “I've not even time to goto church.” The Bookbinders also carried a number of transparencies with them, inscribed with the mottoes: “Eight hours for rest; eight hours for recreation: eight hours for work; “We will work, but must rest;” “If six hours is right in the departments, ten hours is wrong in the workshop;” “Labor is the source of wealth and the prosperity of our country; “Eight hours a legal day's work;” “United we stand; divided we fall;’ “We sus- tain no man who does not advocate our cause;” “We thank our friends,” « We must meet the issue with firmness;” “Our cause is just.” in this part of the procession a transparency appeared bearing some spirited representations, that attracted general attention and elicited frequent applause. On ore side appeared the picture of a disconsolate, fagzed-out mechanic, shaking the snow from his shoulders as he enters his house; fire out, supper cold; baby gone toslcep without seeing its pap; wife of his bosom in the damps, lonesome, tearful and dispirited, and the clock telling a piteous story of late hours. This picture is headed, “Ten hours as it is.” The reverse bore the repre- sentation of a jolly, happy-looking cpap sitting as cosy a8 you pitase, in the shade of his vine and fig-tree, reading (sensible man) the Even- ing Star by daylight; by crowing astride his knee; and wile of his buzzum smiling all over with sunny contentment. This picture was headed “Eight hours as it will be.” The Stone Outters were under the marshal- ship of Mr. J. J. Mitchell, and were headed by the fine band of the 7th regiment V. R. Corps. They carried with them a number of lanterns, torches, and transparencies, upon which were the mottoes: +United we have stood and shall stand:” “Injustice we disclaim. but our rights we will maintain;” “Eight hours we will and muet have,” “One of the fundamental princi- ples of progress—eight hours,” «We, the work- ingmen, insist upon our share of the comtorts of life,” “Exhausted nature, (representation of ® man lying on a table exhausted,) the result of ten hours;* Benefit of eight hours,” (repre- sentation of a fa.ber instructing his children.)

Upon the first were several machines used by carpenters in the manfacture of doors and panel work, with journeymen actively engaged in working them. The inscription, “We are prond to have a mechanic at the head of the Government,” was prominent. Upon the other Was @ carpenter's work-bench, and a number of workmen were busily employed in sash- making. These were followed by the band of the 24th V.R.C. Next came a transparency repre- senting the U. S.

The transparencies were very appropriate, repre- senting the various implements of the trade, as the fire-pot and seldering irons, the hammer and mallet, the snip and square and ccmpasses. The inscriptious were :—“ Justice to the em- plozee as well as to the employer,” « Fight ours a sufficieat length of time for an honest day's toil;” « Jastice, truth and light.” The Cabinet Makers were marshaled by Lewis Wallsmith, This trade was preceded by & transparency representing the articles of their manufacture, with the inscriptions, “Uni- ted Cabinet Makers;” « Eight hours.” The Coach Makers, James Mealy marshal, had a transparency with the inscription, “Coach Maker’s International Union, No. 5.” The Harness-makers, E.

The second division composed of working- men of the Navy Yard and Government repair shops, formed at the intersection ot Virginia avenue and Eighth street east, under the Su- perintendence of Joseph R. Waltemeyer and Daniel Davis, aides to Chie: Marshal McLean, who was also on the ground. A large crowd gathered in this vicinity, and, notwithstanding the mud, ladies and gentlémen so blocked up the streets that it required some exertion on the part of the Marshals and a squad of policemen to get the procession started. First in this division were the employees of the Laboratory in charge of Theodore Sniffin, marshal, with a large flag, preceded by the band of the 5th U.S. Cayalry.

This organization was under the charge of Mr. James McCathran, and had a number of transparencies inscribed Eight houre a legal. day's work,” “Eizht hours for work, eight hours for moral recrea- tion, and eight hours for sleep.” Representa- tion of a boiler, with motto, “This boiler only steams eight hours: ~Boiler-makers, come one, come all, to the eight hour call.” The Pattern Makers, marshalled by William Lynch, followed haying with them a fine trans- parency.

By nine o'clock the crowd in front of the City Hall covered the porticoes, and nearly filled the square in front. A larce number of ladies were in the throng, who waited pa- tently for the arrival of the procession, many expressing surpriee at the great quiet which prevailed. The progress of the column as it passed up the avenue to the President's Hi thence up 16 to H street, thence along York avenue to 7th street,and down 7th to Louisiana avenue, was traced by the burs of rockets sent up in the advance; and as head of the column finally appeared coming up tothe City Hail, the dense crowd swayed to and fro with excitement. It did not seem po sible that the column could force its way through the assemblage, but as the marshals came up the crowd slowly opened, and the line marched through down to 3d street, why countermarched, the Curren 3 ization coming up on the Lc imz ately in front of the stand, with the other so- cieties forming parallel lines, which almost completely occupied the space in front of the City liall, aud extended some distance along Judiciary Square. The scene at this time was most bril rockets and Roman candles were illuminating the surrounding buildings by their glare; bands were playiag spirited airs, and flags and transparencies waved above the tumultuous throng through which the dif- terent lines moved with great precision, while above the sound of voices and the bands there steadily rang the blows of hammers and other mechanical operations. Quiet having been restored, Donald McCath- ran, E-q., nominated Mr. John L. Hayche as president, and he was unanimously elected. Ir. J. C. CO. Whaley was elected secretary and the following gentlemen vice presidents: John W. Thompson, U. B. Hongh, Joseph L. Harley, Edmund Burt, Pat. Cochoran, John Lean, E. F. Casey, Edward McKenney, Joba W. Lansdale, W. C. Clark, Charles Chillis, Ww. Beron, Louis Hollenberger, Thomas F B y, Thomas Brown, Daniel McFarlan, aries Saunders, H. H. Lemon, Wiiliam H. Oberly, James Campbell. P. McGinnis, Geo. W. Wright, T. Dawson, C.J. Leisnetzer, Wm. Wise, R.T. Talbert, Jas. Tucker, George St Jobn, J.C. Small, Thos. J. Simmons, Wm. B. Smead, Samuel Phearson, E. Taylor. Resolutions declaring that the time had come for the workingman to proclaim and prosecute his right to ameliorate bis condition, by de- creasing bis physical and increasing his men- tal and moral occupations; that eight hours for labor, eight hours for rest, and eight hours for mental and moral improvement, is the nataral division of time by which the workingman ought to be governed; that they would support those only for poli ical positions who are fa- yorable to and will aid in securing this re- form; and urging the workingmen of the United States to unite in the eight-hour move- ment, were unanimously adopted. The 5th Cavalry Band, on the stand, then played the “Star Spangled Banner,” and Mr John C. Fincher, of Fincher’s Trades’ Review, Philadelphia, was introduced. He addressed the assemblage at lenzth, congratulating the workingmen upon the magnitude of their movement, and assuring them that they would secure the enactment of an eight hour law by Congress, if they remained true to their princi- ples. The price in Government shops was always regulated by that outside, and if the working Mass demanded a standard of labor, Congress would hot refuse. It was not a po- litical dodge. Politicians of beth parties were afraid of the subject, but the party which did not take it up was sure to be defeated. In Philadelphia workingmen were defeated by their fidelity to party, and yoting for men on the ticket which they did not want. Thisshould be corrected, and the workmen adhere strictly to principles. The workingmen of Washington were not alone in this movement. The speaker was going to several cities this week, for the purpose of addressing similar meetings, and he believed the time had now come when work would be regulated by statnte. At the conclusion of Mr. Fincher's remarks, which were frequently interrupted by ap- plauce, the secretary read the following letters: Crry HALL, WasHINGTon, D.C., October 39, 1865.—Jos. W.

Moone. Jos. W. Matrinoiy, Esq., Secretary Worke ingmen’s Convention Mr. Thomas, of the Bookbinders’ Associa- tion, followed in an addmes, in which he sud this movement affectes every political man of the world. This was the voice of the nation for a great moral and political reform. Thong emerged from war the nations of Europe were still conspiring against us, and our safety, as in the past, would depend on tae workingmen. The reform yw: ied not only to benefit them physi to enable them to learn and appreci MNeiples of onr gor] ernment. Tai® t Was not intended to array one class the other. Labor and capital ebould go hand in hand. and the polis ticlans now only stood aloof because they had not been fully satisfied which side the popular majority wou d take. The workingmea were a power within themselves, and if they would present their claims in a friendly bat firm manner. the capitalists would accede to their Sagreat copartnership based upon = e of science, cxpital, and labor. The latter ! ad more than its share to perform, and there never could be harmony notil the duties were equalized. He urge © workingmen to prosevute their efforts vigorously until they gained their object Mr. Richard Emmons, of the Ordnance De= partment of the Navy Yard, said the remedy ot the workingmen was in the ballet box. They had been defeated before by the sophistry of political leaders, but if they made a determined stand for their rights they would not fail in securing them. All they needed was an earnest and united effort, fo cain a redaction of the hours of labor, or any other reform which their social, mental, or moral conditions might require. The honr of midnight having arrived at the close of Mr. Emmons’ remarks, three cheers were given for the common platform, and the meeting dispersed. TEL AMS.
