4 NATIONAL LABOR CONGRESS. ed Third Day’s Proceedings—The Subject of Co- operation Discussed—The Female Delegates Have a Say--A National Labor Political Party to be Formed—Report on Female The Nationa! Labor Congress reassembled at the Germania Assembly Room yesterday morning shortly after ten o'clock. There was,a full attendance of members, The Secretary read the minutes of last session, Which were approved. ‘A discussion then took place on credentials. It appeared that a gentleman present was without cre- dentials, but on motion he was admitted to the Con- gress. ; A report of the Committee on Co-operation, read yesterday, was brought up for amendment. The report was strongly against contests between capital and labor, and a good deal of anxiety was felt by members to hear such an alteration made in it that it would not be construed into a condemnation of strikes, A discussion took place on the controverted points in the report, which speedily widened into a general debate on the relations between capital and labor. \ Mr. Rosevetr was in favor of strikes as the only means of bringing employers to terms, He believed that co-operation was a panacea for most of the evils ‘that oppressed labor now. The system of having noney in the savings banks at only six per cent in- Crest while there was plenty of work for smali cap- italists was severely condemned. Co-operative so- jeties of Workingmen could build a shop and work it, instead of going on strike and starving. He thought that the ballot baving been found efiicacious in the hauds of workingmen on strike against cap- ital, the same weapon in the hands of the working- Women would work like results, L rose to corroborate a statement made by M ference to a contractor, She said she ae of the matter alluded to; that women were ed ten hours a day while fa contract for the government was being filled for and many of them were cheated SvUsAN ANTHONY on rising to speak found several members on the floor with her. She said that she wanted to be here, not as a privilege, but as aright. She thougut that the gentlemen who ob- Jected (0 the report had good grounds for so doing. She moved that the amendment proposed be put to the meeting, Wich was accordingly dove and passed, Miss Anthony rose inunediately after making this impression and spoke at great length on strikes and capital and labor. She said that while sympathizing with the cause of the workingmen and wishing them success, she wished itto be perfectiy under stood that the workingmen of the country had no resting place for the soles of their feet. Mr. F of Alban said that for twenty years he was asiave owner. He defended the righis of labor When he owned fourteen slaves. A great many motions and amendments were pro- posed, but the report Was on mouon recommitied to ‘Sue committee. REPORT ON THE PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS. The committee to whom was referred the Presi- dent's annual address beg leave to report that in Their opinion his action for calling the July confer- ence in ths city was eminently just and proper, and bas been productive of the most beneficial resuits to the producing classes. Further, we fully endorse the resolution then adopted. With regard to the sub- jects of co-operation, labor organ, the apprenticesbip Bystem and female Jabor, dwelt upon at length, your comuittee would recommend their reference to the appropriate committee. The recommenaation con- cerning political action we fully endorse, and would eocmnead the adoption of the following resolu- jon— \ Resolved, That in the opinion of your committes the ver loxisiouso of the National Later Uilon “dopenda upon the ime Ppodiate organization of an independent labor’ party, hay ing ‘or its object the election of representative men to our State and national couucils—those who are in direct sympathy and Adentified with the iaterests of labor. All of which 1s respectfully submitted. A. H. PHELPS, JOHN VINCENT. W. C, CAMERON, Mr. BOURKE took she floor and spoke in favor of some measure of practical utility, and threw a stream of rhetorical cold water on woman suffrage, » A heated debate then took place, which finally Pg by the weport on address being laid on the Mr. A. ©. CAMERON, of Illinois, then rose and moved the following resolution:— * Resolved, That by the admission of Mrs. Elizabeth Cad; Stanton'as's delegate of thic body. the National Labor Cou gress does not regurd itself as endorsing her peculiar ideas or Committing ‘isell to her position on fomale suilrage, but sim Ply regard her as a representative from an organization hav- ng for tte object the “amelioration of the condition of those who labor for a living.” The introduction of this resolution caused quite a breeze in the meeting, and a member moved asa substitute that the question be reconsidered, On motion the substitute was lafd on the table. ‘rhe original resolution was then put and carried by an almost unanimous vote. ‘The Congress then adjourned until two o'clock. Afternoon Session. the Maton Aad resumed its deliberations at two o'clock. ‘The business recorded upon the President's ad- Gress and the resojution that an independent labor pariy be immediately organized came up for dis- cussion. . Considerable diversity of opinion prevailed upon these subjects.

THE WATER STREET REVIVAL. The Dog Pli Again Crowded—The Great In- corrigible=Brother Allen Expresses His Opinions. ‘The excitement attending the Water strect revival movement is now centred in the amphitheatre owned by the incorrigtble Christopher Burns. The proceedings of yesterday were similar in every re- spect to those of Tuesday, but the weather being somewhat warmer the atmosphere of the, pit was Considerably stronger and proportionately unplea- sant. ‘The sinners composing the congregation weré, with few exceptions, eminently respectable in ap- Pearahce, and it was plainly evident that no higher Motive than curiosity had gathered them together. Great was thé disappointment of those who had been laboring under the impression that the unfortu- hate wretcies who naunt or inbabit the vile groggeries and filthy brothels which abound in the nighborhood of Water street were in the habit of attending these meetings, and much surprise was expressed that the directors and sup- porters of the revival movement should waste so much time exhibiting themselves in dance houses and dog pits before seriously setting about the good work they profess t» have undertaken, “This 1s sheer humbug!” indignantly exclaimed a well known and Itighly esteemed merchant prince after witnessing the proceedings of yesterday. “These men pretend they are laboring for the con- version of the poor ignorant sinners of Water street, but they are not doing anything of the sort. What is the use of their ranting and singing in this placed If they pray ever so earnestly here, among them- selves, What good does that do the poor unfortunate women in the neighboring bagnios or the depraved men out in the street there?" “But these siuners may come in if they like,” an- pote @ sleek looking missionary. ‘salvation 1s ree, “Yes,” replied the merchant, “but you see they do not like, Doubtless many of thei are anxious to be saved, but none of them waant to be exhibited, like Hadden there.” “What would you have us do then?” “bo away with all this blasphemous mockery, close the doors of your meeting places to idle sight seers and sensation'seexers, and when sinners come to you tak cu kindly by the hand and encourage them. You seem to take as much delight in show- ing up the iniquities of your converts a3 Kit burns does in exhibitiug the points of his pet dogs. Such conduct is not Ubristian; it is simply brutal.” “What do you know about my ‘dorgs?” inter- rupted she incorrigibie Kit. “1 was saying (hat you took delight in showing up their good points,” answered the merchant. “Weill, and what if 1 does; any bari in that?’ asked Kit, who, by the way, was not in the best of humors yesterday. Before any reply could be given Mr. Burns resumed:—“Teil ye’s what it is, it ye’s got anything to say about me and my ‘“‘dorgs’”’ just spit it right out to my face; and if ye aint, why jist git yer carcasses out 0’ the gangway and’ let these gen- Uemen go into the pit.’? The gentlemen referred to were a select party who had subscribed fifty cents a piece for the privilege of seeing one of the pit-owner’s favorite “purps” polish otf a dozen “varmint.” Mr. Burns evi. dently making a good thing out of the re- vival movement, for, thanks to the notoriety thrust upon him, @ brisk afternoon business is springing up, and large crowds assemble Nightly to witness the sports inthe arena. As to conversion Kit ridicules the idea, and whenever the Subject is mentioned to him he invariably remarks that he would like to know what the missionaries take him for. “i’m as good aman as any of ‘em. So help me, God, lam,” he exclaims, ‘and by the holy poker I'd bust the man on the snoot as says I ain't.” He treats the missionaries as kindly and gently as he would so many blind puppies, but ae ¢ don’t think they have quite as much inuocence in them. ‘“Howsumever though, as long as they pays their money }’li treat ’em square.” WHAT JOHN ALLEN THINKS, The “guperlatively wicked one” was discovered on the sidewalk in front of his famous dance-house, the centre figure of a group of half a dozen persons who were engaged discussing the revival movement, Some one having asked why it was that the women had left off attending the prayer meetings, John Allen answered, with much warmth and feeling, “For the reason that some of those who pretended to be 80 anxious to save the souls of the poor giris behaved like brutes tothem, Aye, worse than brates. I = suaded the girls to attend the meetings, telling them if it did not do them any good it would not do them any harni. 1 used all my influence to get the poor creatures to attend, and afterwards I was sorry that Thad done so.

Deceased was sixty-five years of age and a native of Ireland. About three years ago Mr. Sullivan fell from a third story win- dow of the above named premises, struck upon an awning below, carrying it away and landing on the eo but fortunately without receiving any jury. KEROSENE EXPLosion.—About a quarter before one o'clock yesterday morning an alarm of fire was given from the premises of Jeremiah O’Brien, No, 61 Cherry street, caused by the explosion of the drip- pings of a leaky kerosene ofl barrel which O’Brien was incautiously examining with a lighted candle, any pen eines which those missionaries should have respected, but did not. They would have been treated more considerately on Blackwell’s Island than than they were at those meetings. One preacher cried, “Oh, God! we thank Thee that these scarlet whores of Babylon have coine to seek salvation.’ Another pointed them out, exclaiming, ‘Behold the harlots whom we are going to take to Jesus!’ and 80 the poor girls were hooted at, stared at, and finally shamed from repentance. I have great influ- elice In this street. ocd ee es me. if ] were to round wow and tell them I had no money they would giadiy give me taelr last dollar. They would do al- most anything for me; but I could not persuade them to attend one of these prayer meetings again, nor would i iry to do so unless I were sure that they would receive Christian treatment. It way a shame and a burning shame to taunt those poor girls in that way, for the majority of them are more sinned against than sinuers. Many of them might lave been saved bad they been properly treated, and the angels must have Wept as tuey Saw thein driven away.” As Allen conciuded one forward and exclaimed, * of his listeners pressed ‘Give me your hand. nt ‘ion consisted tu working UKKE took ground aga It was the rigid S unions that swel He ne he introduction on of politics strengil of the froin tré Boek Ath uld be only anew way of noisting smart men pariy Into oflve upon the shoulders of the masses without in any Way amciorating the condition of the people. | lie did not think that men elected by the national reform purty would be better for the workingmen than the ones “i, for Was seni up to A he tur upon the Wworkingmea and done politicny. i . miss .

WEDNESDAY, Sept. 23—6 P. M. The gold market has been vigorously hammered by the bears all day, and up to the adjournment of the board at three o’clock the fluctuations were from 142% to 14334, with the closing transactions at at 142%, Afterwards, however, there was increased pressure to sell “short! gold for the purpose of breaking down the price, which eventually declined to 14234, and this was the latest quotation on the street. The rumor that the Treasury was sell- ing coin was again revived by the bears for speculative effect, although it is entirely without foundation in fact, and the lie was not with- out its influence among the mass of operators who are always ready to follow whatever will-o’-the-wisp Presents itscif, The “short” interest has been largely increased since the beginning of the week, and the market is now so largely oversold that a violent upward reaction Is likely to take place at any time, and the operators for a fall will do well not to be lulled into a false sense of security, There would be nothing to say against this decline if it was the result of natural causes, but as it is owing to artificial pressure it will assuredly be followed by a strong reaction in the opposite direction, and her3- in lies the evil of the present excessive speculation in gold, to mitigate which Congress should lmpose a heavy tax on all speculative sules, exempting, how- ever, legitimate transactions, There was a very active borrowing demand for coin, and loans were made at rates varying from ore to seven per cent per annum in favor of the lender, and at 1-64 and 1-32 per cent per diem; but later in the day some exceptional transactions were reported to have been made “fat,” The volume of business was large, and the gross clear- ings representing the regular transactions yesterday amounted to $91,935,000, the gold balances to $1,247,030 and the currency balances to $3,484,006, The Sub-Treasury disbursed $35,863 in coin during the day in payment of interest on the public debt. The stock market was unsettled nearly all day, but late in the afternoon there was a spasmodic rise in Erie to 50, promoted apparently by parties whose ob- ject is to got the street ‘dong’? of the stock prepara- tory to returning a large amount of borrowed stock and selling a still larger amount, at present held off the market, the object of this movement being, it is believed, to break the price to a much lower range than it has yetreached. The “point” to buy Erie was given out very freely this morning—a circum- stance in itself suspicious, and the street and the outside public will do well to guard against falling into the trap set for them. With respect to other stocks there is no inducement for those who have any regard for real values to buy them at their pre- sent dangerously inflated prices; but the whole market is so highly cliqued that it is not impossible they may be carried still her before the inevitable reaction comes. loney continues in abundant supply, but there was an in- creased demand for it noticeable to-day, aid some of the banks advanced their rate for call loans to five per cent, The general rate on good mixed col- laterals is, however, four per gent, and the principal dealers in government sécurities are still gupplied at three percent. The banks are not sending much currency westward, but money in the Western cities is working close, and increased dificulty is ex- perlenced in obtaining accommodations, while the Chicago journals speak of the banks there sending currency to the country, several of which are still ordering it from this centre, Com- mercial paper continues in moderate supply and the best grade passes at 64 @ 7 per cent per annum dis- count, In the dry goods trade to-day there was not much activity, the rather wide differences between the views of buyers and sellers tending to restrict business. There is a better demand at steady prices ‘for silk and woollen goods than any other kinds, and at the auction sales the bidding for these was spirited, while domestic cotton fabrics were neglected and rather heavy. Cte ales R Ns Roanae teense The market for government securities was dull but steady until the quarter-past two call, when there was a pressure to sell by the bears, which car- ried prices down about a quarter per cent. After- wards on the street however, there was @ fractional recovery and a good demand for all that was offered. There was no other cause for the decline than the speculative one referred to, and the advance in five- twentieg in London to 7834 decidedly favored an ad- vance. The borrowing demand for nearlypall the is- sues 1s still very heavy, the result of the large “short” interest outstanding, and the supply of bonds in the street is lighter than usual. The foreign bankers continue free purchasers, especially of the five-twen- ties of 1867, and the general demand for investment is increasing, the proper impression very correctly being that our national securities are cheaper than any others in the coun- try at present prices; for while railway and mis. cellaneous stocks are selling far above thelr real value, the case 1s exactly the reverse with respect to governinents. At flve o’clock the quotations on the street were as subjolned:—Registered, 1831, 113% a 113%; coupon, 1891, 11414 a 11414; 5-20's registered, 1862,109 @ 10934; 5-20's coupon, 1962, 11444 a 114%; do., 1864, 10974 & 11034; do., 1805, 110% a 111%; do., 1865, January and July, 108% a 1037¢; do., 1867, 109 210934; o., 1363, 1094¢ a 10944; 10-40's regis- tered, 10444 & 104%; 10-40's coupon, LOAN @ 104%; September compounds, 1865, 11914; October do., 118%.
