The Trouble Among the Washington Printers— Address of Columbia Typographical Union to the National Union. The majority of the Columbia Typographical Union were to have held a meeting to-night at the Government Printing Office to take into con- sideration the case of Douglass, but it was decided to adjourn the time for assembling till the 6th of July. A committee had been appointed to prepare an address, and if the meeting nad assembled the following document would have been presented and probably adopted:— WasuINoTon, D. C., July 3, 1869, TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL TYPOGRA- PHICAL UNION:— Sir—A minority of the members of Columbia Ty- pographical Union, No. 101, at a meeting held on Saturday, June 26, adopted an address to be for- warded to you, as President of the International Typ hical Union, in which they set forth alleged grievances, and ask “that you will give a speedy relief from the ~ oni culties which Ce and vu w ich threaten, even then F600: * ghay ies cmpumn the ation of the Vey oF steht hit et the granting*of a new char- ter be necessary to do 80.’ The proceedings Mh (iy meeting o1 the minority, fogether with their addtéas, having recetved considerable publicity, we, the 1a- jority of said union, deem it our duty to call; id the respectfully acquaint you with the fas to tu ehd that you act understandingly, ith a view to the best interests of tne craft. Foi time inembers of our union employed at the Governme; Printing OMice by those employed elsewhere, whi on more than one occasion has threatened tie dis- Tuption of the union. This animosity arises in part, no doubt, from political differences. Many of those embraced in the minority have either taken an active Part against the nation during the late rebellion, or f7npathized with those eugaged in endea- destroy our counity and its free institu- ng, While the members comprising the majority, nearly if not quite all, heartily sustained tho 5 vern- ment tp its struggles for existence, many of Whom imperilied their lives and some sacriiiced their limbs in its defence. Another cause of difference, consequent in a ory measure upon the above, is that very many of the employes of the Government Printing Office have been drawn from va- rious cities and towns of the and Western States, vicinity. found in the fact that certain ambitious demagogues of the rule or ruin oraer, uaviag lost most of their former prestige in the union in consequence of the above mentioned changes, are struggling to regam their leadership by desperate measures. Hence they now ask for the revocation of the charter of a union that they can no longer control and the granting to them of @ new charter that they may build up a union which they can control. ,The present cause of disaffection, or rather the excuse now offered for arsturbance, arising from the application of a colored man for membership, is presented in the following brief history of the Dougiass imbroglio:—A 1ew days before the regular May me ene of the union Mr, Lewis H. Dougiass obiained employment at the Gov. ernment Printiag Office. He at the same time made application the proper. Re work until his news spread excitement and caused a grand rally at the May meeting of those opposed to this recognition of the right ol colored men to earn an honest livellhood on equal terms with whites. Deeming it impolitic to oppose the admission of Mr. Dougiass on the ground of color, the minority resorted to the sub’ e Of denouncing him as a “rat.” y With others, had been referred to the Committee on Nommations—which committee is charged by the constitution with the duty of examining into ail ap- | ost tes for membership—and before the commit- had time to report, this minority became clamor- ous for immediate action. Resolutions were intro- duced, which asserted that Mr. Douglass had been rejected by the Denver Union as an improper person, censured the Financtal Secretary for granting him a Permit to work, and ordered a revocation of said per- mit, The authors of this resolution, knowing its ut- ter falsity and fearful of its contradiction, demanded and loudly insisted upon the previous question. A Scene of the wildest confusion followed. A point of order was now raised, that after an application for membership had been referred to the Committee on Nominations for tvestigation and report, and be- fore the committee had time to report, resolutions Prejudging the case could not be entertained. ‘The hair sustained the point of order. The confusion now became so great that it was found impossible to transact any er business, and the union, by a vote of 168 to 160, adjourned. Before the time for our next lar miceting arrived the National Typo- graphtcal Union assembled at Albany. One of the delegates from this union, elected before this quese tion came up or was foreseen, acting in the interest of the minority, without any instructions from the Union, without the knowledge, advice or consent of Past an enmity has been mantfésted — by that body, censuring the Congressional Printer for employing L.

The ma- jority, the friends of Douglass, who voted for urnment, not only voted thus be- cause the: had the constitutional right to do so, But because they were determined to preserve the unton in accordance with their solemo obligations as members, While the minority, the op- poneats of Mr, Douglass, the men who now ask you to revoke our charter, voted it adjournment, because they would ratixer see the union destroyed than be without the control thereof. After adjourn. ment the minority, in a high state of excitement, held an informal meeting, at which divers threats Were made by the leaders, among others, that they would reject every candidate proposed hereatter by the majority, for the oo of keeping down our numbers, forgetting thefr obligations to the princi- ples of the union; that they would form a union of themselves and have our charter revoked, and that they would never whitewash any one of the majority. Various charges were made, without any foundation In fact, against the Congressional Printer, among others that he always had been and is now @ rat im principle, and had combined with other employimg printers to break down the union, Violent language, calculated to provoke dis- turbance, was freely indulged in. Finding, Low- ever, that little attention was gtven to their blaater- ing, they subsequently called the meeting of the 2¢th, and resolved upon the address to you heretofore named. The men who made these threats and these charges are the men who are now controling we movement which 13 to result, as they hope, in the revocation of our charter. We think It 1s proper in this Connection to call your attention to the attitude in which the minority have placed themselves by their action of the 26th. When they became meni- bers of the unton they pledged themselves to support the constitution, by-laws, &c., as required by article three, section four, thereof, By their action of the 26th they have violated this pledge. Arucle thirteen of the constitution provides that ‘This union shail not be dissolved as long as fifteen mem- bers desire to preserve its organization. ‘These members, the minority, as long as fifteen members are opposed to it and che wajority are opposed to it, have no right to ask for the revoca- ton of our charter. ‘Lhe majority, which 1s over 200, are determined to preserve the union. The minority have pledged themselves as long as fifteen meuibers desire to preserve this union to uphole tt, Jn violation of thetr piedge, they now ask you tu destroy it, A review of the facts im the case of Mr. Douglass cannot fail to convince any uupreju- diced mind that the entire ground of objection to hi 13 on account of his color. ‘he less Lypocriti- cal of ls opponents adrait this, and even the most violent and unfair leaders of the minority formally offered to compro! the ditliculty by granting Mr. Douglass a permit m the union to work as long as he desired, provided we would withdraw his hame from the union, thus virtually confessing that he was a fair printer and ‘hey were willing that he should work, but were determined to prévent the admission of colored I,en into the unton.

Our convictions on this subject are lusting and sincere. There isa principle underlying the ques- tion of the admission of Mr. Douglass which we are unwilling to sacrifice, a principle for which many of Us have iought and more have voted and labored, a Funcinle involving the rights of human nature. ‘ae simple admission or rejection of one or a dozen applicants for membership 1s a matter of small con- sequence compared with this sacrifice of principle that a minority ask us to make. Many of us hgve been for years identified with the labor movement. We have among us men who have presided over Gprccraphicas unions in other cities, and “pages 1m the deliberations of the National Union when it was in its infancy, and have never faltered in their devotion to the princtples of the organization. We have not for- gotten the long hesitation and final reluctance of the old Columbia Typographical Society to unite with the National Union, or the terms upon which they united. This union would not then have been ac- complished but for the accession to that old society of members from distant unions. Considering ail these circumstances, it 13 far from agreeable to see the National Union arrayed against its life-lon, friends to gratify the unwarranted Prejudices oi these new converts, who now seek to break up the union and bring untold evils upon the craft, simply becuuse the minority are not permitted to rule. We do not proj to abandon the union or the principies Hoa. which it 1s founded, under any circumstances, @ have as yet violated no constitutional require- ment, nor do we intend to violate any, but shall use every honorable and consututional means to secure the recognition of equal rights to ail air printers, Without distinction on account of color. We ask no Special favors of the National Union in this struggle for equal rights; but we demand and insist that there shall be no interference with us by the Na- tional Union in the exercise of our constitutional rights and privileges. Cotumbia Union 1s abie to settle the present difficulty, in its own time and way, in such @ manner that it will remain set: ted ‘for all time to come. If, however, the oMicers of the National Union should go far out- Tage law, courtesy and common usage as to act upon the Suggestion of the minority of our membersaip and declare our charter forfeited, and grant a new charter to said minority, we shall be driven to tue necessity Of appealing to our fellow craftsmen throughout the country to withdraw from the Na- Honal Union and to organize a new National Ty ‘po- graphical Society, which shall be founded on’ the principles of Noha to all men, regardless of race or color. We should very deeply regret to be com- pelled to resort to such a revolutionary measure as this would be; but self-preservation—the high est of all laws—would leave us no other choice. In such @ contest we would be sustained by the whole ’power of the government wherever its influence can be brought to bear in its behalf, b the majority of the t poy of the country, by the pui- pit unanimously and by a public sentiment as over- Whelming as that which emancipated the slave and common legal and political status, would eventually rest, We appeal to you, therefore, our ofganization so consuming a firebrand as the one to which you are asked to give your official sanction, which would be without warrant in the letter or spirit of the instrument from which you derive your power.

A pretty general sweep Was inade of the old hands, It is generally admit- ted that the vacancies im the higher offices have been on the whole well filled, and our citizens may entertain reasonable hope for a better and more equable syste of taxation than has hitherto prevalled. ‘There are still a few appointments to be made, and the struggle, though greatly limived, 1s still waged flercely by those Who are yet in the field, and between wom the result is as yet uude- cided. ‘Tne Commissioners have Lad a warin time of it, and now that the brunt of the contest ts over they will no doubt seck their respective Capuas to while away a couple of the beautiful summer months betore they enter upon the real work of me oe hole flela of politi is at at The whole flela of politics ts at ~ | at “ow given up to, she spect” dale nan Pesce) trigues of the ra Tha file. nate + ever was at »* a number of or oat) mé election so large mant part~ — «ves to be fitled—nevér had the dom- 740 2reat an amount of patronage to dis- «a With the great accession of power in the aghds of Tammany, from thé dempralization of the republican party through the sufcldat policy of the Tadical leaders thereof, and fr the disintegration of late opposing democratic organizations, ‘vammany £80 agora t9 be ms Wmous—to be just. It is now ~ unaisputed power in’ all munim,7al matters out- side of the control of Afoany commissi.DS—that 18, 80 long as the great majority of the peo, le bow the knee at the shrine of the patron sa,2t whose altar is erected in the great Wigwam. And so far as a prospect can be had of thd’ contest in the coming elcction, tt is clear that Tammany Will have the fleid all to itself All that tt cannot ¢o,¢ quer iu fair Aight it will conciliate, bribe and make neutral. A little concession in the condition and stipulation of be that job with. opposing powers Is all that will be heeded, dnd Tammany reaps the fruits of a general victory. Admitting tlits as a fore- gone conclusion, the question arises, How does Tam- ny. lutend w exercise its great power? Will it be rected, as in times past, merely to the distribution of the spoils for the supplying with petty oficers the rag, tag and bobtail thai helped to elect them ito power? Will the chiefs perpetuate the old maxim, Palmam qui mertut, forat—honorable m its original application, but sadly out of place when ap- plied to the booty of an election contest and to the victors therein ¢ THE SPOILS would take a column only to enumerate, and as to giving a list of the candidates tn the fieid for each oitice, while we desire to give tne tuliest informa- tion to our readers on this to them all-important subject, 1t would be impossible to do so in any one article, Enough to enumerate the ofiices and to take them up with their separate interests in the field of polttics, and as they bear on the prospects of che individuals interested and of the party of whom they may be the representatives for oitice. THE JUDICIARY presents the most important range of patronage in the coming election to the Tammany leader. And here lies his almost unapproacaable power. From the highest court in the city to the lowest, ranking through all their gradations under the general dis- tinctive cognomen of the judiclary, there are vacan- cies to be filled. By whom? There comes the rub. No single outgoing member of that judictary but looks to one man ior reinstallation in ofice. Do these judges seek the people's verdict upon their ad- ministration as their title to continued confidence and to re-election? No. They look to one man only to have their names upon the slate, and once assured of that their position is safe for another term. In the past it was a struggte of parties who should succeed and whose iriends Should go into office. There was little choice left to the leaders on either side as to their candidate, and often the most prodigal with his ill-acquired means and the best “Jack fellow well met’? with the rag, tag and bobtail of the party was the successful cai- didate to a seat on the bench. This was nota muli- tary but a party necessity, a necessity that exists no longer, ‘or the simple reason that Tam- many has no longer need of allies. The whole Political machine 13 in its own hands, wniess a sud- den revolution takes place not expected by the seers of the present time. In this case 1 devoives upon the Tammany chief to take into his own hands the hikh duty of putting before the peopie as their can- didates for seats on the bench the most approved men in the legal profession in the community. In times past and up to the present moment a great deai has been said against an elective judiciary and in favor of a judiciary appointed by the Executive, apart from the influences of politics and of party. ‘The principle evoked may be sound. But @ party May be to all intents and purposes the executive. It is said that Bismarck Certatnly now is his opportunity, and he 1s OFFICES—THE JUDICIARY Attorney's pon.
