M.ALEXAN ee LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. Mr. Eprrog:—tin your issue of April you say in your editorial capaci:y—in refer to the construction put upon the eight-hour law by Attorney General Hoar:—It “is the correct one and possibly the only apy legal one that could be given, but there can hardly be adoubt that the intention of Congress was to allow a full day’s wages for whai it fixed asa tall day’s work.” Now, Mr. Editor, Congress virtually did do what Pye give them credit for obly intending to do. It you will take the fol- lowing simple view of it J think you will change youropinion: If you emplo; doa day's work you also engage to pay hima day’s wages, and to make the matter more em- phatic, Congress has set the number of hours that shall constitute that day's work, and there is no other legal day’s work in this country, other than that of eight-hours, fixed by law of Congress, June 25, 156%. which not only fixes the hours of labor, but emphatically says: +All acts and parts of acts conflicting with this act are bereby repealed.” Now it is plain to all men that the previous acts on this subject do conilict, or why nll this controversy.

THE DEVATE IN The ViRcINtA UonseRva- TIVe ConvENTION.—The spirit of the debate in this convention yesterday on the part of those who favored the mmority report, urging the People to vote down the constitution, was, that while negro suffrage might be forced on the people by the United States Gov-rnment, inginimas should not them-elves assist iu the dezradation. Those who favored the majority report urged that that sort of argument was a "hing of the past. Negro suffrage was an ac complisted ‘act; and the white people of the State, instead of sullenly resisting the General Government, which is their Goverament, should earry out reconstruction in good fai th) accepting What the Government gives them. a0 making the best of ii.

A ballet placed im this gup,and the strap being forcibly drawn back and then unloosened by a trigger, its sud- den relaxation givesa force to tbe bullet but little interior to the expansion of the suddenly released gases of powder: and this can be dove without any greater nois* than is created ted by the bow-gun as its bow is released. it these statements are true, these weapons wiil prove very dangerous im the hands of assas. ‘sims, a8 the absence of any report at the time of shooting will greatly facilitate the escape of using them. i firms the | TELEGRAMS 10 THE STAR.
