Ths Wines were brought up from the ceili: 1 placed in lots, according to the catalo; Rick- tables in the dining room. The oullect a st one, and numbered but about 425 bot- tes. There was a great variety of different wines, however, although the quantity in each case was smail. The attendance to-day was comparatively small, not over fifty persons, all males, being present. Only in exceptional cases did the wines bring fancy prices; the most being sold at moderate rates. Mr. Cleary, of the firm of Latimer & Cleary, officiated’ as auctioneer, and began the sale at noon. Prior to opening the sale he stated that he had heard thst a rumor was abroad that wines and articles of furniture had been brought in the house jumner’s death, te be sold with his effects. “He denied that such was the case, and said the firm with which he is connected would give a reward of $1,000 to any person who would prove the rumor true.

In disposing of this par- ticular bottle, Mr. Cleary said he had learned frem a creditable source that it was Mr. Sumner’s especial admiration, and that wh3n- ever he went into his wine cellar, which was perhaps but once a year, he had this identical bottle hunted up in order that he might be sure that it was still in bis possession, and always remarked that he intended to have it opened on some occasion when he bad particular friends to dine with him. ‘The house to-day presented a desolate appear- ance. as most of the furnitare sold yesterday had been removed by the purchasers.

Ther seems to be a great avtagoniem throughout the country between capital and labor. This is mant.est, indecd, al! over the civilized world. This suggests to the minds of statesmen that there is something wrong—a necessity for com- Dinations ove against the other. If capital is agremive as it seems to be, it i+ time for the workingmen to organize for protection. It is a shame that so many laboring men are walking about our streets in search of employment. is asbame that the women of the country ar deprived of thetr political rights, and denied the ballot.

The republican party bas done much, but It bas not teen long enough in power to effect ail that is meeded for the oppressed aud humble classes. At the close of bis addres, Mr. John Pope Hodnett read a set of resolutions. 99,009 of which be ssid be hoped would be printe4 tc itribut'on in every house in the District of Columbia.

The resolutions were adopted. But “Kesolution Green” not to ha quenched as & rerolutionist by Job nett, presented another inimensely long series of whereeses and resolutions, setting forth that the District government was in antagonism with Ged and man; cailing upon Congress to pay the amounts justly due the laborers; eaking the i tional legislature to authorize suite to be inst! tuted by the ing the estab msnding the right to elect two-thirds of a! District oftcers; asking for the abslition of t office of Delegate to Congress, and expressing « desire for reatopable Improvements. The meeting, in Ob mayat such « dlarrbwaot Teolntions, resolved that thirty-nine reso- lutions of John Pope Hodnett and the torty- even rerelutions of Resolution Green be re ferred to & committee of fifteen to be coditi and then presented to Congress.

A Chicago bavker elegantly enter- tained the most consummate dead-beat in the list, and discounted his notes, and now comes John Pope Hodnett, a pocket edition of a demagogue, from Chicago, who appears as the champion of the people, and styles him- self counsel for the workingmen of the District of Columbia.
