JSndge Brady at this stage of the examination or- @ered an adjournment till to-day. Subsequent ‘to this announcement a lenges discussion ensued upon the subject of the previous attachment issued bagi Mr. Gordon for failare to obey the order of Court directing his appearance for examina- ‘tion. This attachment was issued by Judge Leon- ard, and tho jatter was sent for. It was decided ‘that his appearance as a witness and continued ap- pearance would purge him of the contempt, GORDON'S ARREST FOR, CONTEMPT. @hango of Venuc and Additional Fro- ecocdings—Discharged on His Own Re- eognizance. ‘When the proceedings in the above case had been @onciuded, had it not been for the curiosity of the ‘crowd to see the pseudo Lord Gordon leave the eourt room and enter his carriage, or an omnibus, Shere would have been few remaining to witness Be subsequent arrest and other interesting pro- @eedings in the Common Pleas, before Justice Daly, which lasted until dark. In order that the later proceedings may be understood, it is neces- wary to state, by way of PREPATORY EXPLANATION, that Gordon Gordon was first called on a sult com- menced by Gould, in which he was held for $35,000, ‘but subsequently discharged. There were, how- ever, the other cases against him, in which his presence was required as a witness, and as he dia Bot appear he was placed in contempt, and an rder for his arrest was issued, with the bail fixed at $1,000, Im the meantime, and while the above contempt stood, Judge Barrett issued an order for his arrest, and bis bail was fixed at $100,000. This was the state of his case when he appeared {m court yesterday, when it was understood that, By 80 appearing, he had so far satisfied the con- Sempts as to be free from arrest. And this was the feeling of himself and counsel until near the ad- fournment, when the continued presence in court of Judson Jarvis, the Sheriff's Arrest Deputy, and cial Deputies Curry, McHaugh and Erb, cre- ated a suspicion in the mind of Gordon’s.connsel, and Gordon was directed to remain. Seeing Gor- don aud counsel remain in court after the adjourn- ment, Judson Jarvis, who had TWO ORDERS OF ARREST $n bis pocket, but did not care to execute them in the court room, walked up politely to Gordon’s : -penior counsei for the purpose of explaining the un- leasant condition of afairs. While bowing his in- juction to the senior counsel, who knew him f well, he was thus eddressed :— Senior Counse!—Who are you, sir? I don't know you, sir, God damn you, sir! Seer uty Jarvis was astounded at the reception he received, but, maintaining his equilibrium with as Uttle extraordinary effort as possible, ventured to remark as fsllows:— Be id Jarvise—I have orders for the arrest of m Gordon, but the conduct and expressions of his counsel lead them a WRIT OF DE LUNATICO INQUIRENDO should be issued in the case of his senior counsel. Having thus expressed himself to others in at- tendance, Mr. Jaryis retired from the counsel's table, and, with his assistant deputies, kept an eye @n Gordon Gordon. a By this time the crowd of curious spectators ‘who had left the Court to witness Lord Gordon’s departure returned to ascertain the cause of his , and, returning, decided to stay, Gerdon Gordon, now fully informed of the threat- oe arrest, moved about the court room uneasily, jeeping, however, within the bar, and in easy reach wf biscounsel. The deputy sheriffs looked out upon him from beneath lowering brows, and, as Gordon occasionally neared a window of the court room, pre red for arun outside. At length, however, he a seat by his senior counsel, and Mr. Strahan, another of his counsel, stood bending over him, like as esort of guardian angel, behind. Those who had Deen made aware of the cause of the peculiar a ces in Court smiled, and somewhat anxiously waited what they choose to call the “COMMENCEMENT OF THE FUN.’? The more ignorant of the spectators simply gaped and stared, and expressed their unpleasant wonder @t the mysterious delay. While the others were thus engaged Gordon Gordon had obeyed the direc- tion of his counsel, and a ready pen was found to make an aflidavit setting forth that he, Gordon Gordon, was there in Court as a witness, and, therefore, claiming exemption from arrest on the order of Judge Barrett. The afi- davit was long, and considerable time was Feguired for its completion, and gt sf all the time the anxious spectators stared an d uneasily, and occasionally an expression. much more vigorous than polite, could be heard @enouncing the delay in “commencing the fun,” *, Then the senior counsel prose and ,* GRASPED THE AFFIDAVITS ‘then the other counsel arose, and Gordon Gordon looked on a ‘Then counsel moved toward the door, leaving Gordon Gordon behind, with none but deputy sheriffs for company. Sevior counsel (turning) exclatmed—Gordon, in Court; don't come out; they can't arrest you in Court. Mr. Strahan, the other counsel, and misunder- standing the first, raised a tinger vigorously and gaid :—Gerdon Gordon, come on, Senior counsel (turning hastily and speaking ve- hementiy)—No, stay where you are. Mr. Stiahan (still exeited)—Yes; stay where you me to believe that before executing are, And Gordon Gordon stayed; while his counsel, a Bmali army of reporters and officers of the Court, and a@ larger army of mere spectators who were Bure that the long-looked for “fun” was about to commence, followed the counsel up stairs to the COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Where Jndge Daly had been hearing ® case in which the jury were still out.

The Tonthe and Peerless Win the Schooner and the Gracie and Vixen the Sloop Prize, THE IANTHE FIRST YACHT HOME Yesterday morning, at eleven o’clock, the sun shining brightly down and gilding the waters of the Upper Bay, fifteen vessels of the New York Yacht Club lay at anchor between Owl’s Head Point, Bay Ridge and the Staten Island shore. The occasion of the assemblage of these beautifully modelled boata was the twenty-eighth annual regatta of the club. Organized nearly thirty years ago, the cinb has seen its ficet grow from a handful of ama cyaft unt now it numbers in its list sev- eral yachts which have won a world-wide reputation for specd and endurance, The flag of the New York Yacht Club, with its blue ground, red cross and white star, has been displayed in the Baltic, the Mediterranean and the British Channel; it has fluttered in storm and sunshine on the Atlan- tic waste of waters, and has hung idly under the glowing moon that sheds its slivery light over the mild Pacific Ocean, Its fag counts numerous vic- tories, and the splendor of its triamphs to come 18 as certain as its prestige in the past. A yachting regatta in New York Harbor is always certain to draw thousands from the crowded strects of the great city toward the mouth of the Narrowa, Holidays in America are few and far between, and when a festival day presents itself on which a bright sun shines down, and if a regatta be the attraction, sweltering thousands take boat and hurry to the Lower Bay to get a day’s outing. Happy mortals they are who can even for twelve hours leave business er care behind to enjoy an ocean breeze and to smell the salt seaalr, It was a@ pretty sight yesterday morning as the yachts, one by one, came down with bellying sails tothe rendezvous, The exquisite models of some of the boats pierced the fresh, untroubled water like spearheads. The wind early in the forenoon was very light, and the shadows of the salts fell on the bay like puffs of breath on the smooth surface of a looking glass, As the yachts began to cluster thickly together their clean, holystonea decks and burnished brasses made a perfect picture of neatness. One yacht, the Columbia, hav- ing a full crew, who wore red flannel or stuif caps like the chorus in the “Enchantress,” presented a singular appearance as the men swang away with a rope to the tune of “Ranzo- -Away-Ye-Ho- Me-Boys.”” The long festoons of shrubbery on the tier of Bay Ridge and the wooded copses on the clayey summit of the Staten Island shore, with the solld masses of masonry of Wadsworth and Hamil- ton, served as a frame for the picture. Fora background there were two incoming and outgoing foreign steamships; steerage passengers crowding their dirty decks and waving soiled I'nen wildly as a token of recognition. Further back was the thin irregular line of the great city, which seemed so quict afar; but a thousand smoky chim- neys and the vast wood of the world’s congregated shipping, surpassing the commercial galleys of Carthage and of Tarshish and Tyre, contradicted the distant stillness of the wonderful human hive. There are two things. necessary, it seems, to the completeness of a regatta in New York harbor. First, that there shall be at least a ‘dozen of vile, screaming, nasty steamtugs, whose principal oc- cupation shall be to blow their horrible whistles if a fag is dipped, a champagne bottle broken or a free lunch assaulted by hungry men. It is passing strange that nervous persons should go on these yachting regattas; but they willdo it,as experience teaches. nothing can Now, be more ter- rible than the report of one of these demoniac steam whistles in the auricular of a man possessing weak nerves, There was one weak-chested, thin-flanked individual who stood by the blowpipe of the Fletcher yesterday | dreaming of summer seas and an azure sky. A smile of bliss was on his face and contentment dilated the pupils of his eyes. He was in another world of his own. He was happy. Thoughts of his wife and children coursed through his brain. Sud- denly the infernal steam whistle shrieked. Un- prepared as he was, the shock was too sudden, and he collapsed. Fainting, he was carried beiow, Brandy and water revived him. ‘The other and most necessary thing for a regatta is the presence of a number of beautiful women. and ft must be said that the New York Yacht Club | at its annual regatta is never without this concomi- tant. The steamboat Magenta, chartered by the | club for the use of its guests during the day, was loaded to the transom lines with the faivest female jewels of the metropolis. They were there, clad in textures and fibres and laces and colors of daz- zling splendor, the basilisk brightness of their eyes darting fire underneath long silken lashes, The diamonds which encircled their necks and hung from ears which had the tint-blush of roses and the shape of seashells were dimmed by the radiant glory of their features. Fully five hundred guests of both sexes were shaded from the burning rays of | the sun on board of the Magenta. Alongside of the Magenta were ranged the Americus, Winona, D. R. | Martin, Seth Low and Titamer steamers, the steam yachts Julia, Emily, Surprise, and a score of other boats, loaded with pleasure seekers and festooned with flags. The steamer William Fletcher, having the committee and judges on board, with the club standards fying from the fore, was | lying inside of the Narrows, and below was her twin | sister, the Andrew Fletcher, with a party of ladies and gentlemen on noard. Smallboats and yelling tugs were constantly plying to and fro between the forts, and strains of delicious music streamed across the waters now and then, making it a scene of fairyland. Dyspeptic and bilious people rejoiced and were relieved, and champagne corks popped | with “i rp report, like seattering rife shots on a | picket lind, It was rumored that President Grant and the Secretary of the Naty, Mr. Robeson, would attend the regatta from Long Branch on the steam sloop Frolic, and the appearance of that vessel steaming across the bows of the yachts toward Fort Wads- worth from Fort Hamilton added to the interest of the scene, The band of the man-of-war Vermont was on board playing patriotic tunes, and the flag | of the United States was displayed aft. Every per- | son believed that the President was on board, and the vessel, which followed the course of the yachts | throughout the regatta, was cheered loudly when- ever she came within gun shot of the excursion steamers. ‘The President was absent, but the Sec- retary of the Navy was on board, and he received all the honors due his rank from fort and fleet. Ther was one marvellous looking yacht—a sloop with a queer stern, with the word “Mist” displayed | thereon, and at her peak bearing the legend | * Aliciamentum Secate.”” ‘The build-and rig of the | boat seemed strange, and made one think that she Tae constructed for the use of Sir Francis | rake, | A crowd of men ran forward to the how of one of | the excursion steamers to look at the “Mist.” | Among them were several would-be classical schol- ars. One sald :— | ane & deuce of a funny looking boat, isn’t she? | “I think it's the Flying Dutchman,” said another. | “No, it ain't; that’s the caravel of Christopher | Columbus. That's the Nina,’ chimed In another. | “She's not high-pooped enough to be the Nina,” replied @ medimval scholar. “Weill, if she ain't she’s high-toned enough for the | Queen,” answered a modern reprobate. | “That's a nice Chinese motto she’s got on her flag.” “ion't you gee she carries that for ballast ?—she's light draught”—echoed the comic man of the arty. Prine hour of noon approached the yachts were mustered hy the committee ina straggling way toward the Narrows for a fying start. Yacht after pref came to and crossed oyer in shore on the taten Istana side Pi a PR Ot Fort Wadsworth. Thyge quae WO ; | | came out with the evident intention of trying her i) | the number of private and excursion steamers the yachts, one after the other, like a flock of swans, yawed for & moment under press of sail, and got away through the throat of Narrows into the open, a fine, fresh breeze awal' them outside. The noble little Gracie came first, followed by the schooner Peerless, and amid much cheering, great clappiny of hands, champagne enthusiasm, scxeaming of whistles from the vicious little tuge and music the severa bands the race began. It was a beauti- 1 sight, as the boata, crow each other in hot pursuit to white, clean sand of Coney Island shining like burnang”, sliver, and tre crema or foam On thd breakers, driving in toward Rockaway, driving on like the erystallzation of @ dream. Going down to the Southwest Spit the yachts, as they clustered ‘ther, assumed the arance of a convoy of ty merchantmen. At the Spit there was the usual marine fanfarronade, and here again the tugs took the lead, making a perfect bedlamof the avene: Fortune again favored the gallant Gracie, and the bands played and handkerchiefs were waved with vivacity, Away again; now the long, straggling line of Sandy Hook ears, and the yachts, well favored for wind, dash out on the bosom of the broad ocean, making a glorious show. When the lightship was reached there was more eheering, blowing of whistles, and as the champagne waned the enthusiasm rose in due proportion, The tugs had it all their Own way until they came tocontend with the dismal, moaning noise emitted by the light: ship, and then the steam whistles of the tugs sun! into utter insignificance. On the homeward route the wind decreased, and for an hour and a half the boats were almost becalmed, THE RACR. ‘The jodaen' steamer, William Fletcher, arrived off Staten Island shortly after oen A. M., and after steaming through the fleet of yachts, in order to ive them their sailing instructions, took the mark- it in tow and steamed up to Fort Tompkins, The weather at this time was not very favorable for yacht pang as there was a decided scarcity of wind; but about eleven A, M. a breeze sprang from the southwest that looked like freshening. The markboat was anchored olf Fort Tompkins, about fifty yards off shore, and the William Fletcher then ran out in the stream about two hundred and fiity yards and let go her anchor, ‘The course was from the imaginary line between the Fletoher and the markboat to and areunda stakeboat at buoy 844 on the Southwest Spit, keep- ing it on the port hand in turning; thence to and around the Sandy Hook lightship, Keeping it on the starboard hand in rounding, and return over the same course, keeping tle Southwest Spit buoy on the starboard hand. Yachts had to keep to the eastward of huoys 9,11 and 180n the West Bank ing and returning, and were to pass between the faassest boat and the stakeboat on arriving home, ‘The start was a flying one, and the time of each acht was taken as she crossed the line between he mark-boat anchored off Fort ‘Tompkins and the Judges’ steamer (the Wm. Fletcher), ‘The signals for starting were given from the Judges’ steamer as follows:—For the preparatory signal, one gun, and the yacht club flag on the steamer lowered; and ten minutes later, for the start, one gun, and the flag again lowered, No yacnt’s time was taken later than fifteen minutes after the second gun. ‘The expiration of the time was markea by @ third gun and lowering of flag. There was no restriction as to the number of men carried on each yacht. Measurement was based upon the cubical content, and time allowed according fo 2 graduated scale. ‘The following yachts were entered In the regatta:— scHOONSHS. Time Allowance. Name. ner.

Kose M4 08 The Regatta Committee--Messrs. 3. 1, Haight, William B. Bend and William Krebs--were anxious to obtain a good start, and consequently waited some few minutes forthe breeze to freshen up. Shortly after eleven o'clock the fleet were tacking about the Narrows under a light southwesterly breeze, and the committee availed themselves of the favorable chance, and at 11h. 34m. 80s, the pre- paratory gun boomed forth its erders, and the club signal was lowered on board the Fletcher. The warn- ing note of the instrament of death had the effect of bringing the fleet still closer the line, so that when the second report gave the word togo THR GRACIE, which was close at hand, immediately hanled her sheets Nat and started across, followed about half a minute later by the Addie, who had the Vixen close behind on her starboard quarter. The wind was still from the southwest, and they all crossed on the starboard tack. ‘The flect little Peerless—the win- ner of the schooner prize in the Atlantic regatta— crossed with the Foam about fifty yards astyrn, leading the — lanthe by twenty seconds, The ‘schooner Eva, fly! ng the” signal of Mr «6K. OB Grubb, e new owner, crossed next a few seconds in advance of the sloop Ariadne, which was some aN ards ahead of ex- Commodore Loper in the Madgie. After the lapse of about a minute the schooners Madeleine and Magic sailed over, the latter being to leeward of the pair, The next yacht was the Colamoia, which looked very handsome and fit to sail for a king. dom, and followed by the ‘Tidal Wave. who led the Resolute by 2 minute, The latter had a big clab topsail set to her main and a small Maboten | topsall to the fore. The new schooner yacht Viking followed next; but she was not entered in the race, and paces with the rest of the fleet. The yachts nearly all gone on the port tack by twelve o’clock M., and were heading up towards Quarantin Island. The breeze kept pretty fresh from the south-southwest. The yachts crossed the line as follows :— scnooNens, HM. &, Peerloss... oan) ed lanthe. M bt Foam MBL 42 M52 19 MB 2 Gracle. 46 55 Vixon. ML 47 26 Addie. Il 47 20 Ariadne. M49 23 The William Fletcher was detained a few minutes while getting up her anchor, as they were in rather deep water and had considerable cable out. In the meanwhile the fleet were getting along pretty fast, beating up to the Southwest Spit. The Columbia appeared fo be in her old form, and was evidently overhauling the fleet, when she stood too far on one tack and went aground on the WEST BANK. Her board also got fast, and it took them nearly five minutes before they were under welgh again. As the Fletcher steamed along she passed the Restless and the Viking, who appeared to be acting as whippers in to the racing feet, The Resolute was Lehn 4 song very nic but there was hardly enough wind for a big; powerful boat of her stamp, and she had not much chance with light draught boats like the Magic, Columbia, Tidal Wave, &c. The Resolute went in stays at 12h. 20m. 30s, and stood on the starboard t toward Coney Isiand, About this time the Foam was leading the fleet, having Repeal the Ianthe and Peerless, The Eva, although looking as if she had done some work of | late and needed a coat of paint, was sailing well and giving the loam all she wanted. The Madgie was sailing well, and her veteran owner evidently meant business when he went about at 12h. 2im., and going on the starboard tack crossed the hows of the Columbla and Tidal Wave. |The Eva lay up to windward of the | Madeleine and was forging slowly ahead of the lat- ter, which was followed closely by the fleet litte Magic. ‘This beautiful yacht was as lively as a two- year-old, and it looked as if she felt proud to be again under the direction of the yachtsman who had once before piloted her to such a glorious vic- tory. The little schooner lanthe, one of the Henes- hoff boats, lately brought here on sale, was doing fairly and. making a good with the Peerless. ‘The sloop Gracie was in a ‘ood form and sailing beiter than she did on uesday, as she had jumped away from the feet and obtained a lead of nearly haifa mile. The Vixen came next und passed the UARANTINE HOSPITAL Ql | at 12:31, bowling along in handsome style, with the Addie about half a mile astern, The Addie does not appear to be in good form this season, even the magic hand of her captain, Jim Ellsworth, had no eharm in increasing her speed, It is a true, but funny fact, however, that yachts are just like horses, and if they are not good ‘and fit they will not sail, ‘At 12:32 the Eva seemed anxious to obtain some additional motive power, and sent up a stayeall. The Foam looked as if she had a good chance of being first yacht round the Southwest Spit, and was holding good wind. She was sailing to leeward of the Madeleine, | but looked at one time as if she was | both head reaching and holding better wind than that favorite schooner. The Eva had worked up to windward of the icc J fleet, and she appeared to have got the best of the Foam, which was being overhauled by the Madeleine, The breeze was not so fresh as at the start, and at 12:45 the Madeleine sent up a staysail to see if a few Ped more canvass would not do her some good. hortly before one P. M. the William Fletcher ar- rived at the buoy on the SOUTHWEST SPIT, and took up her position in order to time the yachts as they went around, The neighborhood ofthe Spit was quite lively on this occasion, and brought back to mind the Queen's Cup day, when all New York turned out to see the yacht race. The Gracie, one of the fastest and prettiest sloops ever launched, was the first of the fleet to put in an appearance, and, looking as handsume as ever, she rounded the stakeboat on the Spit at 12h, 45m. 10s., and givingjsheet started for the lightship. The crew worked pretty lively on board that craft, and they soon had the spreader out, setting her jib like a squaresati. The balance of the feet eseret to be coming up well to- gether, and after a lapse of abont seven min- utes the sloop Vixen went round, and squaring away dashed off after ler antagonist, i tor ead: lowering her stay- ‘The schooner Eva came zt Y sail as she went round, ah ant ij her boom on the Of az noe AA the dying starboard side apd mov brags ond rein Mie Bah ne been sailing, as in general she was not seen often in the van. ‘The sloop Addie came next, followed shortly afterwards by the Magic.

In the meanwhile, the new schooner Vikin; came up with the ficet, dressed in a hand- some suit of canvas. The Magic also managed to get out of the crowd pretty cleverly, and caught the beneflt of the breeze. The rest of the fleet were soon all on the starboard tack and moving slowly through the water, led by the little Ianthe, who was very cleverly handied, and they followed after the Magic. The Peerleas went in stays at 1:21 and made a short stretch, heading for the point of the Hook. The breeze had been hauling round more to the southward, and by this time the GRACIB had a good start and was heading up well for the Lightship. The sloop Vixen was also doing well, and followed after the Gracte, with the Addie some distance behind in her wake. The wind had now hauled to about southeast, and the yachts were all coming along handsomely, with the exception of the Tene ‘Tidal Wave and Resolute, wiro were still becalmed on the inside of the Hook, The breezo was freshening so much that tho Columbia clewed up her topsails, as they were not doing much good beating to windward. The Eva was getting ane nicely, and fier size began to tell on the little Tanthe, whom she passed, a maneuvre which was shortly afterwards imitated by the Madelei) ‘The Magic was still leading the schooners and ling very well, so much 80 that even bets were offered shé would win tho regatta. The Voam was making @ pretty race with the Peer- Jess, who was leading the Columbia, As the yachts came up to THR LIGHTSNIP the usual delegation of steamers were dropping inw their accustomed positions and getting up steam, in order to offer up the pega whistle chorus, The captain of the Lightship in the meanwhile favored his aquatic audience with a solo on a fog horn, a class of music guficient to encourage sulcidal ideas in the most cheerful temperament, ‘The Gracie was still Jeading the feet, and at 1:40 finding the breeze stil freshening, she lowered her topsall, and a few minutes afterwards rounded the Lightship, and, sending up flying jib, jib topsail and Maintopsail, started for home, accompanied by the shrieking of about twenty steam whistles.

The next half hour was highly uninteresting, with the exception of watching the progress of the Resolute, and also that of the little Janthe, which was coming by the Hook, carrying a nice breeze along with her. The rest of the feet had joined the Madgie, who appears to have been gifted with much patience and Waited in the same spot while they went to the Lightship and back. There was hardiy suiicient air to give steerage way, and the Colum- bia, Peerless, Foam and Eva lay in a cluster so close together that it would have been easy to walk from the deck of one to the other, The Gracie finally got past the SOUTHWEST SPIT, followed by the Vixen. Some few minutes after- wards the Magic went drifting by, followed by the Foam, They were about two hundred yards to the westward of the stakeboat. At this time all atten- tion was attracted to the little Ianthe, who, com- ing up witha light southeasterly breeze, rounded close to the slakeboat, and then immediately hauled up and ran back Into the breeze that brought her down, and by this clever piece of seamanship avolded the calms into which all the others had been entrapped. The Madeleine, Co- lumbia and Peerless floated slowly by in the wake of the Foam, and Pte 3 the interval the Ianthe was skipping along with a pleasant breeze in the direction of CONEY ISLAND.

The Gracie led the rest of the fleet, followed pretty closely by the Vixen, who, in her turn, was whipped in by the Addie. The Columbia was also sailing well for a light breeze, and assed = the Magic on the ran home, The Gracie finally crossed the line between the Fletcher and the stake- boat, about four minutes behind the Ianthe, who led the fleet. ‘The Vixen came next, with the Addie close in her wake, and followed by the Foam, Peer- less, Resolute, Columbia, Magic and Eva, in the order named.

Workers’ League at Germania Hall. Long before two o'clock, the hour for which the mass mecting of the metal workers was called yes- terday, the regular session room was crowded to overfowing, and at twenty minutes past two the mecting was adjourned to the great hall, There were at this time about three thousand persons present, At half-past two the Presivenr stepped forward and said:—Gentlemen, I wish to announce that no fears necd be entertained in regard to the employ ers refusing us work. It has been stated that the employers at their meeting threatened to close their doors, I will now read, in view of this, a paragraph cut from a morning paper. lows :— The Pacific Mail Steamship Company closed a contract yesterday with John Roaeh to build two. first class iron amers for the China line, ‘The ships are to be propel- era, of 4,000 nd are tobe finished in from date, at a cost of $860,000 each, in gold. cheers, will now address yon. Mr. BLEssarT—I have never felt a greater pleas: than in addressing the men uow before me. I sve in every face earnestness of purpose and a dauntiess, soldier-like Jook. Any man coming to New York and viewing its streets, flanked with tenement houses — that Merely cages, pest houses and infamous apologics for places to live in, should ask himself this question, “Must thesg things aiways be?” If this movement fails no man is responsible but the workingman. In this country labor is capital, They talk of starving us to terms, I tell you that if we are united we may starve the employers to terms, How about starving? If every workinan in this city was to join us heart and hand not a ferryboat or street car conid run, not a wagon load of luggage could be removed without the aid of the workingman, (Cheers.) A man might ride on a load of greenbacks and could not get across the river. (Cheers, I know tn this country Ra] have a dollar for the Englishman's shilling, ut if the Englishman can drive the great capitalists of that country from Land’s End tothe frontiers of Scotland to desperation with only pence, they are ater than we with the almighty dollar. The fact is you have trusted to the politicians, and now where are they? You wonder at the success of tho carpenters, bricklayers, painters or plasterers, and the fact is only this, that they trusted in their trade organizations, and not in the politicians. The speaker then went into a strain of violent denun- clation of the police, which occupied considerable time and was frequently received with bursts of applause. The Fourth of July was held up to ridicule, and it was asked could the freedom be found and where the mucl: talked-of lberty among the workmen whi lived in tenement houses, and who, with a wife and family, came home at night to find that no nice supper was prepared, but that they came only to Sup sorrow with the poor. ‘The speaker concluded by saying that all nation- should be lost; that from this new federailon should come the glorious community and republic of labor. He then added that the workingman had two ene- mies with which to contend—whiskey and the op- pression of heartless capitalists, The speaker re- tired in the midst of loud cheering. The PRESIDENT announced that Corliers and May, of Water street, Brooklyn, had conceded the eighi- jour principle, to commence with to-morrow morn- ing. fir. Horrway was noxt introduced. He asked that the English-speaking members would remain in order while he addressed his countrymen pres- ent. He then proceeded to speak in German. Re- peating the pareare h announcing Roac son's: contract for the building of steamers for the Mall line, and quoting from the Herawp in reg to the long hours and smal) pay of the workmen in the sugar refineries, the speaker next read a very Cabinet Makers’ League. ‘The PRESIDENT read a slip from & Brooklyn paper which moe of the eight-hour movement as on the wane, It was received with hisse Mr. Mesh of the pattern makers, was next in- troduced, He announced himself as a member of the Amalgamated Machinists of London. He de- nounced the capitalists as rich paupérs and men without intelligence, and added that they. kept their shops be becanse they could make a dollar on every dollar id to the workingmen. ‘The speaker said that he had not been long in this country, but was a great while in the Old Country, and had been eleven years a trade unionist. He dwelt at some length upon the faet that tie contri- butions received by the Newcastle miners in their reat strike from the unionists of London, Liverpool and Manchester were #0 great that the Newcastle men received more money than they ever earned as wages in the same length of time and = care a damn whether they went to work or not. The PRESIDENT announced that a committee which had called on the steam engineers In the morning had reported that the engineers would assist them and that a committee of the gasmen had waited the Executive Committee the day previous and an nounced that they would give from one to five dol- lars each per week in support of the metal wor! as they recognized that in case the Iron League they would have to return to work twelve how A delegate from the sewing machine ma stated that contributions receive: and interior cities would enable them to keep up the strike for six months at least. Mr. KURU, the President of the cigar makers, next addressed the meeting. He announced himsell as & boss, but a boas by necessity, as he found it im- possible to get a situation as @ workingman.

The Brass Founders and Finishers’ Eight-Hout League met yesterday morning and afternoon at the New York Turn Halle, in Fourth street, The attendance was quite large.

Some of the men who exhibit in their action a certain share of lacustr, and inclination to work have been received bac to their employment. The number of loungers around the corners is beginning to decrease to & noticeable extent. The police, however, are still on guard at the works, and on-the neighboring streets.

After the transaction of unimportant business and much speechmaking the meeting adjourned to meet at the same place on ‘Thursday next. Granite Cutters vs. Batterson. The Secretary of the Granite Cutters has aa- dressed a long communication to the HERALD. The only point in it (after reciting in general terms the | circumstances of an interview with Mr. Batterson, | at Westerly, R. 1.) is a wish on the part of the | union that the public will for a time suspend jndg- ; ment inregard to their course, They also claim that Mr. Batterson appeared magnanimous and wasn't.
