GREAT LABOR REVOLUTION, Coolieism in Massachu- setts. HARD AT IT. THE ASIATICS How Will It Affect the Trades Unions ? THEIR DEATH BLOW PREDICTED. Chinese Labor on Railroads. Southern The Scandinavian Movement in Mississippi. LATEST FROM NORTH ADAMS, MASS, “Ab My” in the Workshop—His First Last— Struggles with the Pegger—Manners at the Table—His Fare, Religious Faith, Matrime- nial ProspecteGrowls of the Kuights ef St. Crispin. North Adams, Mass., (June 17) correspondence of the Boston Advertiser.) It is only in the bottomers’ room of his factory * that Mr. Sampson proposes to use his Cninese 1abor, For the other departments, the cutting, the fashioning and sewing the “uppers” of the shoes, he intends to @epend on the few white workmen who stood by him, ‘and the force of girls long in his employ. The Cris- pins are striving their utmost to get these away from him by every argument, falsehood, persuasion and ‘threat in the power of men to invent; but should they succeed they will only prectpitate the suicide of their own order, for Mr. Sampson will at once divide nis corps of Chinamen among the different Tooms, teach them the other departments of the trade, and then fillup the ranks by fresh recruits from Cahfornia. Ido not think, however, that he will be driven to this extremity, the cutters ana other workmen remaining with him being men of natnral independence, and, moreover, having already taken a liking to the new apprentices for the enthusiasm with which they take hold of the stady of thelr trade; while ifthe women of the upper rooms are go foolish as to quit their benches there ought to be enough to supply their places in the multitude of “starving workwomen” of whom Massachusetts has beard so much. Let us go, then, to the bottomers’ room. As we ascend the stairs a scrawled inscription on the wall, ‘No scabs or rats admitted here,” reminds us of the recent occupancy of the room Wy workmen of anotber class: and a big blotch of black, hardly ob- Mterated by the fresh whitewash, testifies to the sort ef frolic indulged in"by the late tenants, to whom ‘the burling of a quart bottle of ink across the room atthe head of a fellow workman was a pleasant jeke. There will be littie of this jocularity among the new shcemakers, and as little of the shouting of insults and ribaldry to ladies passing in the street which was among the scandais of the od régime, ‘The room seems nearly ee: for in this difficult and delicate business of teaching a trade to pupils who can neither ask questions nor receive explana- ons a multitude makes confusion and opstructs ogress, 80 it has been thought wise to instruct a lew at atime. Two “gangs” or “teams” have been selected to begin with, and the rest of the colony are left down stairs, a8 we bave seen in a former letter, to amuse and instruct themselves in thefr own way. ‘The dozen men chosen crowd round the two bencnes at which the insirvctors stand, all eagerness and suleut attention, The instructors themselves are worth a word in passing. ndent workman who has been long in ir.

But withdraw to tie other end of the room, and 100k at them turtively now and then, and we lial aee that with every Wial they tread the path of improvement towards perfection. Your correspondent first visited the workshop on Thursday morning, two or three hours after the work of teaching had been begun and saw the state of affars he has endeavored to describe—the instruct- ors working slowly and silentiy, the pupils silently watching every motion. Tings looked encouragiug, indeed; but they looked as if a long job had be begun, which the lack of language to communicate the simplest ideas would make tedious and Auiticul He weut there again on Thursday afternoon, six hours later in the day; and, behold, the two ‘‘teams’* were working at their benches, each man doing his appointed part in the completion of the ehoe, to ‘the success of their first essays, seems tame enough in the telling, but to the ac- tual observation it appeared almost a miracle. Au My and his frieuds no longer waich the teacher; they work away themselves in a business-like fashion while the teacher watches them, but are ready to accept the slightest pantomimic hint from him as to any imaccuracy or awkward Method in their work, and sure tocorrect the error the next time. The instructor's brows no longer contract with anxiety and doubdt at the obstacles to ‘be overcome, but his eyes gleam with pleasure as he points to this or that Celestial mechanic and whis- pers, ‘That fellow, sir, 1s going to make a splendid workman.” Mr. Satupson is naturally exuitant at the success, substantially assured thus early, of the venture which a few weeks ago scemed to involve so much risk and required so much courage. “That shoe,” he says affection- ately ag ted one which has been turned out ready for et; “that shoe 1s as good as any one you could pick Outof a hundred cases down stairs which the Crispins made.” Ana, indeed, these Ce- Jestial mechanics have a nicety of touch and careful Inethod that far surpass the traits of the average French and Iitsh shoemakers Who control the lodges and dictate the grade of work t be done inthe western part of the State. It is said that one of them this morning having seen the teacher bend py acci- dent one of the iron pegs at a certain pointin the circuit of the sole, himself bont a peg at the same f nt m making Dis next shoe. But from what l pave seen I am inclined to think many of the ries which come to us of the slavishness of Chinese exuberant humor imitation are the offspring of the of the Pacine Coasi, and that the conscientious faithfulness in the perform- ance of every detuil of an avsigned task, which gives rise to Luese tales, is not inconsistent with a G00 Megree of Independent junc ent and sagacity on Ue pat of the workman, promising the best re- eults in ihe Poor of his work.

Into this the chop-sticks of each are plunged at intervais, to vary the monotony of the rice with a choicer morse}, “When the bowls are empty—which is, in about 81x or eight minutes from the ning of the repast—each Chinaman Jeaps from his bench and hurcles to the kitchen, not to put the ciockery away, a8 I at firat but to bring it back ‘full of it tea. And here the bitterest prejudice inst the Celestial manner of supphng the wants of the inner man must pause to acknowledge the superiative quality of this Ry brought direct from China and prepared in the Chi- nese way, which has & smoothness of taste and delicious flavor rarely to be matched on Yankee tables. After all, p POLhADS, we should get the Chinese opinion of a meal at a Boston bo: house before venturing to pronounce judgment; but prejudice 13 strong, and, as T have hinted, he who has a grain of fastidiousness in his composition, and who would cuerish the highest theory of Oriental civilization, should read with the Chinese, study with them, play with them, sip tea with them, but by all means For @n invitation to sit down to dinner with . < ‘ ‘The Chinese bill of fare at North Adams will con- sist mainly of rice, meat and tea—the two lormer ar- ticles, of course, to be purchased at the local mar- kets; the latter probably to be imported via San Francisco. The colonists brought with them a vari- ety 04 ttle delicacies in the way of catsups and simi- Jar preparations made in China, and 1t is quite likely that their supply of these will be Kept up by Lmporta- tions from time to ume. Among their traps was a bag of ir roots; and some of the gurdens of North Adams are to try the experiment whether the spicy plant can be raised in New England. ‘Two of the great points which the future fs to set- le in regard to this novel experiment of inoculating New England from China are a8 to the estavlish- ment of family reiations, in which alone lies safety, and as to religious questions, These young men say that their betrothed brides, aftianced to them in childhood, are waiting for them in China; express no misgiving of the binding and permanent charac- ter of the matrimonial contract, and look forward either to returmng to claim their wives in thelr own country or to bringing them here for the establish- ment of a home wheu they get rich enough, As to the ancient and uereditary faith of these peopie I have found fess apparent warmth ot adhesion to it than L have been ied by accounts from California to expect. Al My and his comrades have brought no joss with themsgi hear no hint of the establishment of a heathen temple on Mr. Sampson's grounds; they have the ucmost confidence tn ineir leader, a Metho- dist, and us far as can be seen théir minds are very nearly the blank paper of childhood, ready toreceive tue c.eed which shail be stamped upon it by the most poweriul influence. Mr, Sampson, at least, is confi- deat that kind treatment, untformly honest dealing, gentile words aud scrupulous justice will lead his ltutie flock straight into the fold’of Christianity, and there are various Sunday s¢hools tn North Adams standing ready with open gates to welcome them in, But of both these gieat subjects this is altogether too early a period of our experience in Chinese immigra- tuon to speag wilh understanding. As to the sentiment entertained towards the new sShoemakers by the tie Crispins of North Adams it is not easy to get at an intelligent expression of it. The striking 1aborers are genevully a class Who are content to express their minds 12 shouts of *scaps’? and “rats” and ieee jeers at “Sampson’s China- men,” with occasional dark threats of vengeance to come, and who probably have very litile idea in the matter beyond a notion that the bread ts belag taken from their children’s mouths by altens of another color, The nearest approach to an ul ent as LO the rights of tie matter which 1 have been anie to obtain trom any of them was from one who said:— “[ don’t object to their coming here, Let ’em come single-handed, like other emigrants, and take their chance, But they come banded together, That isn’t right.” ‘This proposition, coming from a knight of St. Crispin in fuil allegiance, I thought delicious enough to be given to the world verbatim. Others declaim about « 33 os seRY esas ic PH Pouce 18 to be brought nis spot wild enough to talk about. prisonment within @ high fence,” in view of Mr. Sampson’s slender, littie paling, with broad, open gates, through which the Chinamen stroll as far as they like, or as far as they dare, in view of the threats breathed so boldly in the Irish and French settle- iments. To say the truth, these Crispins take ther cue mainly from the leaders of their order, who, in Boston or im Lynn, direct the affairs of ine whole organization, It was even uncertain whether they would continue their strike: against the reduction of priees duriug the dull season, until the emissary Trom Boston brought the word for them to hold out, with, of course, the promise of support from the treasury of the order iu other sections, And apropos of this visiting Icader there is one piste -incitent worth telling. Mr. Sampson, as has heen mentioned, closes his factory against visitors, and means to keep his office entrance constantiy. either locked or guarded. But during a momentary absence yesterday morning of manufacturer, book- keeper and boy, the door being carelessiy un- fastened, Mr. Head Centre, from Boston, walged quietly in; presently found his way up stairs into the bottomer’s room; and there being several eg visitors in the room, and everybody ing profoundly interested in the first steps of teaching, his presence was entirely unnoticed. Bach person who saw him supposed he had been introduced and youched for by some one else; and so he spent an hour in inspection of the ee of teaching more apprentices than have learned to make shoes in Massachusetts before, perhaps, since his prt took the reins of power. There was po harm done by his presence; but there was certainly under the circumstances a good deal of ampudence in 43, fully matched the “same afternoon, when the same personage cailed in Mr. Sampson’s presence, sent Elen to one of his el 8, and iniormed the man before his employer's face tha there was a better position waiting for him, and that he could rhake money by leaving the fac- tory. North Adams, as a whole, is almost a8 much in- terested in the contendmg influences now at work here as are the Crispins asa class. Mr. Sampson’s pay roll in pest days has averaged two thousand dollars a week, and the money disbursed by the other suoe manufacturers has made the amount paid ouc here for labor in this branch of industry five thousand dollars a week. All this has been spent at once in the town—most of the unthrifiy Crispins, tadeed, being in such haste to get rid of their earnings that they have worked but abent four days of the seven, devoting the rest too generally to dissipation. Naturally the small traders of a certain class see a very dark prospect in the possible substitution for these lavish fellows of a class who spend no money for whiskey or for tovaceo, or for the various groceries which are the neévessities of & family of Caucasian stock, Both sexes are Interested: for there are smart girls in North, Adams who earn a hundred dollars a month in the shoeshops for leisure and fot amusement besides, and there is little doubt that swiftly for a quarter the wages. rise to the success of which every inhabitant jooks forward as if it were to be the making of ae His individual fortune is involved; for the Hoc ‘funnel is in the hands of bold contractors, will not hesitate to make @ revolution in their labor, if it shall prove expedient. But the tmter- est extends far beyond North Adams. Every large toWn in Massachusetts is identified more or less with the shoe trade, which the innova- tion of this week most directly affects. Every manulacture mm the country has felt to some extent the influence of trades’ unions, for which the most pee enemy has now been discovered. Already a manufacturer of shirts from New Jersey has been here to look on at the expert. ment, and has gone home resolved to make at once a larger importation of laborers than Mr, Sampson's for tis own factory. It is impossible to enumerate’ the bearings which this incident which the Crispins, have precipitated upon us may have, or to overestl- mate the importance of its results. ‘The most super- ficial contemplation of the subject opens ‘up ques- tuons which are themes for the speculations of the social science philosopher, the statesman, the politi- cal economist; but with the statement of facts upon which their discussions may proceed, the duty of the, special correspondent is complete.

Selling “Devotion to the Blessed Virgin in North America”—TInteresting Question of Copyright—$50,000 Damages Claimed. Before Judge Loew. John T. Foley and another vs, William A. Virtue and another.—This was a motion to vacate an attachment. It appeared that in the latter part of the year 1666 the plaintiffs entered into a contract with defendants by which the former were to have the exclusive sale of a book known as the “Devotion to the Blessed Virgin in North America,” throughout the United States, except California. It further ap- peared that at the time of making said contract and for several years prior thereto the defendants had been publishing and selling a large quarto work entitled the “Life of the Virgin Mary,” and that the “Deyotion to the Blessed Virgin” was added thereto as an appendix and was 80d with it as part of the same work. It also ap- peared that one of the plaintiifs had himself been engaged in purchasing from the defendants and selling the last mentioned work, including said ap- pendix. The plaintitis claimed that by the terms of the above contract they were not only entitled to the exclusive sale of the “Devotion,” but that the de- fendants were precluded from appending it to any other work, and that, therefore, the con inued pub- lishing and seiling of the life of the Virgin LY, with the appendix of the “Devotion,” as weil as the disposition of a number of copies of the latter work separate, was a breach of said contract, and they accordingly brought an action in this court, in which they claimed the sum of $50,000 damages. An attachment was obtained against defendants’ pro- perty on the ground that one of them was anon- resident. Under this warrant their property was attached and they subsequently go & motion to vacute the same before Judge Van Vorst, who re- ferred if to Jon P. Crosby to take the proofs and report. . g The referee reported in substance that the plain- tiffs had no cause of action, and that the attaciment should be vacated. This motion was thereupon made to confirm the referee’s report and vacate the attachment. Judge Loew now renders the following decision:— The attachment in this case was issued on the ground that one of the defendants does not reside in this State. The fact of such non-residence 18 not disputed, and as the affidavit upon which the at- tachment was obtained in otuer respects comes up ithe rere ah dae Pred, Bah Ae appear to have acted in this matter upon the as- sumption that the case was to be tried on its merit whereas it would eem that a reference was ordere only tor the Purpose of taking proofs in respect to the facts going to sustain or defeat the attach- ment. It may be that the referee is correct, and that no cause of action exists in favor of the plaintiffs against the defendants, but that question cannot be tried in this summary mode, but must be disposed of in the regular way on the trial. Were the rule otherwise, the cause would in effect be tried on its merits on a mere motion to vacate the attach- ment. Nor do I think that the Court has the power to discharge the attachment upon the defendants giving nominal security, as was claimed by their counsel on the argument. Before they are entitled to an order directingsthat the attaciment he dis- chal they must give security in double the amount of piaintifis’ claim; or, if the claim be greater than the value of the property attached, they may obtain an order directing that the same be appraised, and then cause to be executed an undertaking in double the amount so appraised. This may prove a hardship in cases where the defendant is unavle to furnish the requisite security and it finally turns out, as 18 claimed in tnis case, that no cause exists agauist the defendants; but 1 see no other way in which the attachment can be discharged before trial and jadgment in a case like the present, Motion denied.

The most notable exception was the case of officer Decker, of the Twenty-seventh precinct, aa- it involved A QUESTION OF GIN, divested, however, of the ministerial milk. The cont plains was made by Sergeant Rorke, who averred, that while officer Randall was being beaten by a ang of ruffitans, Decker, who was in plain sight, not a block away, talking to a citizen, neglected to go to his @séliance. The seemed sufiiciently serious, but Decker declared that he was talking on police bu..tneas to the citizen, Who complained of having been victimized by @ pocket- book dropper, and that a3 soon as he was aware of the disturbance below he immediately went to the assistance of officer Randall and arrived in time to be of great service.

POLITICAL NOTES AND COMMENTS. Hon. E. H. Moore, of Athens, Ohio, has declined a renomination to Congress from that district. Here: is @ good opening for some aspiring democratic Buckeye. ‘The Lancaster (Ohio) Gazette says Senator Thur- man is coming into notice as the probable choice of the democracy of Ohio for Presidential candidate in. 1872. Why not him as well as some “other man?’ Ugh! Dr. Wayne Griswold, of Circleville, is in the list of candidates for the democratic Congressional nomi- nation in the Ohio Larwaster district. The Circleville (Ohio) Democrat states that Mr. James Emmit has concluded to quit the liquor trafic and offers his, distilleries for sale. An exchange thinks this @ poor way fora democrat to go into training for a Congressional nomination. An Onio exchange says R.A, Harrison, the demo- cratic nominee for Judge of the Supreme Court, was a@ “fishy” sort of republican ten yearsago. That's the Kind of politician that ought to be popular wily the administration nowadays. 5
