NORMAL COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT. | The Girls) Third Annual Exhibition— The Academy of Music Brill ¢ with Bright Faces—Grand Display of Fe- male Beauty and Intclligence=The Prized and the Honored. There can be no denying the fact that there is an irresistible attraction in all that the ladies do when they combine to present anything before the world a8 worthy of admiration. It has been ever so, and beyond a doubt will ever remain 80, until the archangel puts a stop to it. Even elderly, venerable ladies possess this faculty, nor would it be right even to exclude the strong- minded females from whatever share of credit they deservedly are entitied to in THE GRACEFUL ASSUMERION OF MASCULINE E¥FRON- Y. But when youth and beauty go hand in hand to exhibit the charms, graces and virtues of the softer sex even the toughest gizzard must relent, and | though the misanthrope might cry out “pshaw,” yet his decayed heart must, whether he likes it or not, be freshened up in some spot or other in the contemplation of the doings of his lovely sisters in humanity. In a general way these last remarks are true, though not so very applicable to THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE NORMAL COLLLGE, held last evening in the Academy of Music, except in so far as it may be satd that neither misanthrope nor fanatic was among the audience. From top to floor of the Academy the large crowd of sightseers | was packed closely together—boxes, stalls, galle- ries, parquet and aisles all being crowded. AS might be expected, and contrary to the custom of audi- ences at commencements, the gentlemen were tn the majority, though there must have been much more than a thousand ladies present. With such a Jarge audience in the house, and with the thermom- eter at so high a figure, the heat may be moro 7 santly imagined than it was experienced. | yet with the liberal use of fans and with | the coustant attention drawn to the exercises, | the edings were undisturbed by any fainting | fits, and consolation was found in a repetition among neighbors of the usual formula on such in- teresting occasions. The managers of the Com- mencement, to their honor be it said, reallzed the state of affairs, and with praiseworthy magna- nimity kept the thousands in hot expectation only for a short quarter of an hour, when the piano sounded a few talismanic notes, on hearing which ALL THE COLLEGE GIRLS rose, and a most charming crowd of 450 girls they were, in all the pride of their youth, intelligence a | that isms are becoming the foundation of new | which shuts the present from the future; may you NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1872——WITH SUPPLEMENT. beneath the canvass covering on the green lawn in front of the college. At about three o'clock a dark cloud arose from the horizon of the southwest which threatened to mar the pleasure of the day, the anticipation of which has for months lightened the hearts of students, friends and parents. But happily the threatened disaster did not fall to dampen the ardor of. either speakers or audience and all went off in a manner which surpassed even the most sanguine expecta- tions of the faculty. Scattered among the audience were Messrs, John Hurley, John Noonan and Carr, all of whom are at present attending the seminary At Troy, and who graduated from Manhattan Col- lege in '70and ‘71, On the platform sat the Most Rev. Archbishop, surrounded by the’ following gentle- men, his sons in the Church:—Dr. Braim, of Fort Washington church; Fathers O'Flaherty and Brein, ofthe Church of the Annunciation; Father Shea, 8. J., President of St. John’s college, Fordham ; Father Healy, Father Kinsella, Father Clowery, Father Kean, of St. Patrick's Cathedral; Father Galligan, Father Lynch, Father Canary, Father Henry and Father Sandy, sogethee with Brothers Paulian, Patrick and John, The following 1s THE PROGRAMME, every item of which elicited trom the audience the heartiest applause, Overture; “Signs of the Times,” George H. Kracht; Souvenirs a’ “Inspirations of the Past," James D. Crosb; judices of Literature,” Thomas P. Malany ; Fantasia; ‘Monasticism vs. Poor Laws,” Maurice J. Dou- herty; Selections; “The Decalogue vs. Strikes,” James B, Fisher; ‘Ha!l to Thee, Liberty.” The items in the above programme are worthy of special mention, Inasmuch as they displayed a depth of thought and perfection of knowledge seldom met with among persons who have not been tempered with a little of the world’s vicissi- tudes, ir, Kracht’s “Signs of the ‘Times’? was most remarkable for its metaphysical tone, This | gentleman, in the course of his remarks, | satd that the Church of Rome was the only bulwark | er the isms of the day, as we every duy seo creeds. Mr. Kracht was followed by Mr, Crosby on “The Inspiration of the Past.” He showed by well supported proof that the past had its influence on the present. He was loudly applauded by the audience, and when he retired recelved several handsome bouquets, Mr. Thomas P. Malany's ‘Prejudices of Literature’ was nol only well writ- ten, but delivered in a most effective manner, Mr. Doherty on “Monasticism vs, Poor Laws" displayed that depth of thought and refinement of diction for which the gentleman is justly noted, After music by the band came the literary diamond | of the afternoon exercises. It was a live oration and one written by one who _ interests himself more than any of his confrdrea in the is- sues of the day. Had Mr. Fisher been deputed to speak on some historical or classical subject he would have undoubtedly made a grander success; but his.succoss in the “Decalogue of Strikes” was one for which neither he nor his Instructors dared to hope. His solid philosophy given in rebuttal of the sophistries and isms of the day were received by the audience with Immense applause, and when the exercises were closed he was almost overpowered by compliments, one of which was delivered to him by His Reverence the Archbishop in person, Mr. Fisher is an honor to his Alma Mater, and will, in spite of all obstacles, make a mark in the world, Fora person who has the class of talents so perfectly represented in Mr. Fisher there are but two alternatives in life, the pulpit or | the bar, and it is rumored he intends to adopt the latter. After the delivery of the above oration degrees of A. B, were given to the following gentlemen :— First, Mr. James B. Fisher, Mr. Thomas P, Maloney, Mr. George H. Kracnt, Mr. George McFadden, Mr. Manriog J. Dougherty and Mr. James Lesmond Jrosby. The degree of Master of Arts was given to Mr. James Delong, Brookiyn; Edward J, Fagan, New York; R. Ogden Glover, Jr., New York; Jolin M. Grady, New York; Michael J. McGowan, New York; Henry 0. McLean, New York; Richard J. Morrison, New York, The last named gentleman delivered an oration on “International Treaties,” the study of which taught him that language had been given to diplomatists to conceal their thoughts, He de- plored that religion was not the governing motive of all international intercourse, and went on to show that when the Popes settled the differences between kings the peuce of the world was not so often interrupted, The Hon. John P. O'Neill delivered the address to the graduates. He gave the youog men the great- est encouragement und wound up his address with these words:—‘To-day you are before the curtain ever acquit yourselves as creditably and honorably | as you have done to-day, and when you leave the stage of human life may you ‘all meet | behind the scenes—in heaven.” The Archbishop and beauty. They were not this year, as in former years, located in the parqnet, but were arrayed on hencties placed on the stage, which was projected | outward some twelve or fifteen feet, in order | to bring them nearer the audience, As the girls rose, tler after tler of the prettiest faces in the | city were e. dd to the adiniration of the crowded | house, and little wonder that a murmur of admira- | tion Was audible everywhere, These pretty atn- | dents were all dreased in moat suitable attire for | the weather and the occasion, crimson, blue and | white being the relleving colors, while “DOLLY VARDENS”? dn every conceivable degree of cut and taste were the tell-tale that not even arithmetic and grammar, physics or physiology could destroy the feminine weakness for the adoption of the latest fashion. The exercises opened by the Singing of the follow- ‘tng choral (Alexis Looit’s), which all the girls par- | ticipated in: Praise to Theo, thou great Creator, Praise be thine trom every tongue; Join my soul with every creature, ‘Join the universal sors Father, source ot all compassion, Pure unbounded grace Is Thine ; Hail! the God of our salvation, Praise Him for His love divine. A prayer was now given by the Rev. Dr. Foss, af- ter which Mr. Wood made # few pertinent totro- | duotory remarks, and the programme was con- tinued as follows: — Duett, from Handel's ‘‘Judas Maccabeus;" salu- tatory, by Miss Liszie A. Har rio, from Merca- dante’s “Il Guramento;” ess “Be Thyself,” Miss_ Ella Demorest ; song, from Weber's “Der _Freischutz;” scene from “Aa You Iike It,” by Miss Maggie ©. Robinson; duet, from Verdi's “Giovanna D’Arco;” Famine Scene from ‘Hiawatha,’ by Miss Nellie A. Nichols; trio, “The Tempest; essay, ‘‘Taste,"’ by Mias Mar- garet ©. Dixon; duet, from Rossini'’s ‘Semt- ramisde ;” essay, ‘Tenacity of Pur pose,” by Therese 4. Perry; aria, “Sing, Merry Bird,"” by Miss Minnio | Cash; essay, ‘Influence of Literary Societies,” by Miss Anna Banta; glee (Thomas Weelkes, 1,600). In @ programme so varied and so well selected, and in the rendering of which every part was ad. ‘mirable, it can only be said that both teachers an scholars alike deserve the highest praise, and that the display was such that the most ardent friends of the college could not have desired a higher standard of attaiment than was apparent. The singing, under the direction of Charlotte V, Win- terburn, was excellent. The essays were unex- ceptionably ood, The scene from 8 You Like It," and that from “Hiawatha,” were both delivered with remarkable appreciation of the text. It may ,be right here to say that though the honor of the “Salutatory” fell to Miss Lizzie A. Hare, yet a note in the programme stated that Miss Hare and Miss Burke Bad received an equal number of marks. The award of honors was as follows:—Ottendor- Wer goid medal, for proficiency in German, An King; Ottendorfer silver medal, for same, Grace Obenderfer; Bacron prize for elucution ($50 in old), Nellie Augusta Nichols; Barron prize for singing ($25 in gold), Minnie silver medal, for methods and princip! ug, Annie Baker; Kelly br e medal, for same, ary Adams Patterson; Dundon prize, for Shaks- pearean essay—first, Clara M.

The number of the graduates of June is 119, and the number of bert Sorte of February last seven. | The diplomas and honors having been distributed, | the “Normal College Song’’ was then sung, as a trio, with great effec bs hat ac aeia the past T prey bt . bt rt be uf as yound us fast m; ai in bond of mystic power.

The valedictory was then delivered by Miss Katie F. Burke, who bade inane in such & way as to niake the thousands wish a littie longer lingering. Hut the audience was suddenly restored to its every Sunday mood by the solemn notes of “the Old Hundredih Psalm,’ which was the doxology. — | MANHATTAN COLLEGE. | itil The Commencement Exercises Yesterday Afternoon—Brains, Beauty, Religion, | Fashion and Flowers, The commencement exercises of the above insti- tution took place at Manhattanville yesterday | ery, with an essay on ‘“‘Nature’s Liberality,” A | the west over the wooded hilis that mark tie closed the exercises by a few remarks. He eased | the minds of the audience, which had been at a high-pressure tention during the exercises, in di- gesting the lumps of philosophy | which the students had been propounding — to | them, He several times provoked prolonged | fan of laughter from the audience, who had for some time been quite solemn and undemonstrative. In concluding he said that all the boys of Catholic colleges during thelr school days tried to get ahead of one another, but that when they emerged into the world they forgot their past differences and joined hands in the one grand cause—the support of Catholicism. The Clergy, the gradnates and the members of the pe partook of a bountiful collation after the ex- ercises. CHAPPAQUA MOUNTAIN INSTITUTE. | A Woodland Commencement in Weat- chester=The Outdoor Collation Dis- turbed by a Thunder Shower—The Exercises of the Students—Address of Horace Greeley Delivered in the Quaker Church—The Philosopher’s Country Neighbors. Yesterday there gathered among the hills of | Chappaqua—a place now made famous by the rest- dence of the great agricultural philosopher of the age—a gala assemblage of pleasant people, at tho annual commencement of the Chappaqua Moun- | tain Institute. This establishment is situ- | ated on the side of the Chappagua Mountain, | which tradition says was so named by | the Indians long before woodchopping came | into vogue in the New Netherlands, Above it, on | the summit, is a grove of hickories, and within its cooling shadows the prettiest scene ever beheld | was displayed under the thick-hanging leaves. The | tlresome toil of climbing the steep pathway was | repaid by a cheering glimpse of long, snowy white tables, spread among the mossy pillars and crowned with all the optissimé of coun- try delicacies. Under foot was a mossy carpeting, and on the gray rocks around, decorated by nature with fretted tichens, were | seated bevies of young ladies and gentlemen, most | of whom undoubtedly could plead guilty to roman- | tic predilections, the staider individuals pre- ferring the more clvilized luxuries ot chatrs, when these were obtainable, which was not often. | THR WOODLAND EXERCISES. The exercises were begun @ short distance from the spot selected for the dinner. A rude platform, supported by rocks, was raised under the trees, and around this centre the andience gathered | elders, like one of their number, | prosecution late in the woods still spread with the generous provender, HORACE GREELEY AMONG HIS NEIGHBORS. ‘The rest of the proceedings were conducted in the Quaker church, a very venerable structure situ- ated near the grounds of the institution. The clouds passed and the rain ceased. The heat was terribly oppressive, and an undutiful reporter, escaping from the interior of the building to the fresh air, made desperate love to a young lady ina en dress in place of taking notes of the venera- fic Philosopher's address. He had by this time ar- rived, having been driven over from his farm by & Friend in an aged and rusty wagon. When he en- tered, his large form redolent of cheerfulness and his childlike face beaming with exquisite benevolence, a round of aj Basins saost awful desecration !— greeted him, wh ich echoed dismally from the cob- webbed ceilings of the old galleries. Such a sound had never before been heard within those sober walls, where the very atmosphere seemed to bear the echoes of “thees” and “thous’’ uttered long 0 by the successive elders of the church, — Greeley was escorted to the highest seat, where he waa placed next to @ kindly-looking old uaker matron, Who wore & pm lace cap and a rab gown. He chatted with her pleasantly and with fat peculiar affability which, despite the gen- eral uncouthness of his manners, is sald to be quite potent with the fair sex, THE PUILOSOPHRR’S REMARKS, Mr. Elwood Birdsall, one of the trastees and the principal benefactor of the institute, intro- duced Mr. Greeley, who arose and was again greeted by applause. He spoke with his usual slow deliberation, His speech was rather rambling, perhaps from the fact that the air in the old church, which was packed fuller than ever before since its foundation, was hot and Suptessing, 80 that his attention was distracted from his notes by the necessity of wiping the beaded sweat repeatedly from his ample brow. Tle was listened to very patiently fora half hour, when he sat down, logking, in the lofty place of the Such iniantile meekness of expression as marks his well-known face seemed not at all malapropos. He was again epee at the close, the unusual sound oe | ae decrepit frame of the ancient temple a slight fi of ague. Isalah T, Williams, and George T. Truman, of Philadelphia, @ well known Quaker preacher, end other gentlemen followed with appropriate ad- dresses, ie astembly then dispersed and Mr. Greeley returned to his grove, on the other side of the ral Lips where his busy axe resounded among the trees during the rest of the afternoon. The warn to New York was laden with the returning Visitors, THE EPISCOPAL THEOLOGIOAL SEMINARY, The Annual Commencement—Interesting Exercises and a Large Attendance. The annual commencement of the Protestant Theological Seminary was celebrated yesterday morning in St, Peter's church, on Twentieth street, near Eighth avenue. The attendance, as usual on such occasions, was large and fashtonable, a goodly proportion of ladies being among the audi- ence, The members of the faculty present were Dean Forbes, Dr. Seabury, Dr. Buel, and Pro- fessor Hull, In addition, there were present on the platform Bishop Payne, former incumbent of the diocese of Cape Patmos; Bishop Robertson, of Missouri; Revs. Knapp, Da Costa, Stoddard, Buel, Sayres, Smith, Beach, Edson, Englebrodt, Sey- mour, Vinton, Hull, Johnson and Van Kleeck. The exercises were commenced by the celebra- tion of the morning service, which was conducted alternately by Drs. Beach and Forbes, THR CHARGE TO THE GRADUATING CLASS was delivered by Bishop Payne. It was an earnest exposition of the dignity and usetulness of the great work upon which they were about entering. The argument deduced from paar quoted was that the universal proclamation of Christ is the reat work of those who are called to His ministry. History is but philosophy taught by example, and the history of the chosen few who had been present at the las’ visible appearance of Christ was replete with suggestions of the divinity that prompted and made effectual their ministrations and the evangelical teachings of the Gospel, and a history of their sufferings and principles in the cause; but more than all, of His presence and~co-operation with His minisiers, These signs were seen in their power to convert souls to a belief in the divinity of ‘heir great head, Christ, At the conclusion of the Bishop's address, the most interesting part of the proceedings, the pre- sentation of diplomas to the successful students was aya eenew with by the Rey. Dr. Forbes, Dean of the faculty. ‘The following is a lst of those who graduated :— Evelyn Pierrepont Barlow, Nelson Riley Boss, Thomas Cole, George Edward Cranston, Algernon Sidney Crapsey, Charles Jared Curtis, William Ber- rian Hooper, Join Henry Houghton, Hamilton Lee, Peter Baldy Lightner, Rey. William Fisher Lewis. Samuel Moran, Albert Hall Ormsbee, Edwin Sandys, W. Pentreath, Frank Henry Potts, Gustav kdward Purucker, Frederick Schroeder Sill, William Reed Thomas, Henry Nichol Wayne and Thomas White. The holy communion was then administered, a large number partaking, and after the singing of a hymn, and the benediction, the highly interesting | proceedings termina‘ed.

STATE SENATE, ALBANY, N. Y., June 28, 1872. The Senate met at nine A. M., but, only fourteen Senators answering to the roll call, on motion of Mr. Perry a recess was taken until ten A. M. At ten o'clock the roll was called, and nineteen Senators responded—two more than a quorum. JUDGE PRINDLE'S TRIAL. Prindle wi ugel, an: Horace G, Mygatt, his I. W. Peek for the prosecution, Mr. R. A, Stanton proceeded to open the case. The charge was:—‘Taking fees as County Judge and Surrogate for his own use in violation of law.” Counsel quoted the statntes, specifying what fees a for him, should be charged, collected and paid over to the | county, and spoke at length against the action of Judge Prindle, claiming tuat he was an unsafe man and unfit to hold office. The counsel also stated that the respondent had appointed his clerk, Ray, guardian in cases where he (Ray) was interested as counsel; had reused to discharge the duties of his office ‘by leaving mo- tions undecided for years; had kept no account of fees received as required by law, and refused to re- turn a detailed account to the Board of Super- visors as required by law. STATEMENT OF THE FIRST WITNESS. At the co Stauton’s opening the rick B. Cootes, who was sworn, He testifled that he had had business with Judge Prindle, It was concerning the preof of a will. The Judge drew the papers, which appeared at the time of the return. The witness said he was charged $25 by Judge Prindle for the services he rendered the case, Before conciuding the examination of this witness enate adjourned til!

The young lady students of the institute looked very happy amoug their friends, who were the delighted gnests of the occasion. | A comfortable seat was set apart on the platform, reserved for no less a personage than the great Philosopher of Chappaqua, who had prom. ised faithfully to be present. The other chairs were occupied by the Trustees of the institution. Professor 8. ©. Collins, its President, made a short and facetious speech, which received hearty | audits, Master Henry if. ©. Palmer then de- | jivered an originaloration, entitigd “The Search for Nature,” which was very well written. The youn; gentleman received a very handsome bouquet a: the close of his speech. Miss Phebe A. Cock | read a very poe! conceived essay on “* Lake Scene.” She is a very pretty young lady, with biond hair a finely formed brow, pleasant, ruby lips, and eyes of a dark deep bine. ‘The f Nature’? was next discussed by Master A. Mortimer Clark, of Bedford, N. Y., and the exer- cises of the students were then closed somewhat which was read by Miss Mary Haviland. It waa very pleasing production as regards the diction and style. Nature having received her meed of praise in the the midst of the woods, which are her dearest haunts, ail that remained to be done was to satisfy her imperious cravings In the shape of hunger, and them to listen to the after-dinner speeches, i THE DINNER.

The Prindle case will be resumed as soon as the MeCunn case is disposed of. sion on the Fourth of July. “GIVE US A REST." Mr. BENEDICT moved to take up the case of Judge Curtis immediately after the disposal of the Prindle case; but, on motion of Mr. Palmer, that motion was laid on the table, as the Senators expressed a desire to have a recess before going on with the Rarnard impeachment case, THE WEATHER IN THE CITY. Yesterday the sun streamed down his burning rays witha virulence that threatened to utterly destroy vegetation, the colors upon the ribbons which combine to make up ladies’ Dolly Varden hats and the tempers of gentlemen who nad not attired themselves in gauzy hab{ilments.

Another Day of the Eight- Hour Movement. Day and Night Gatherings of Workingmen. Change in Organic Forms Postponed---Secrecy Demanded for the “Coming Event.” DOGGED DETERMINATION PREVAILS. Notwithstanding the excessive heat of yesterd ay the various central points for the meetings of the workingmen who are still “on strike” for eight hours per day as a full day’s work were well filled by workmen who, though generally very seriously in earnest in their movement, were, more of them, more distinctively disorderly than 1s common in Assembly district gatherings during a warmly con- tested political campaign. At the Germania Assembly Rooms, Teutonia Hall, and at the lesser halls for meetings, those tn at- tendance in unorganized form were quietly, yet somewhat fervently engaged in the discussion of the prospects of an entire success at the early present, and also, granting success, of the probable effect upon some of the trades during the entire of the “heated term, and again, and more seriously, during the next succeeding winter months, It seems to be conceded by nearly all the more thoughtful of the workmen now engaged in enfore- ing the Eight-Hour law that with very many of the employers—even those who have, with apparent willingness, conceaed the demands of their work- men—the present agreement to consider eight hours full time for a day's work is nota yielding of the mooted point, but rather A MASTERLY SURRENDER for the purpose of gaining time fora special ar- rangement of ‘time contracts” for future work be- tween the employers and the capitalists who have work to be done, to lull the workmen into the belief that they have becn Rormanenily victorious, and on that induce them to be careless of their earnings during their hours of leisure in order that they may be the more easily conquered when the FROST SETS IN. Such, at least, formed the burden of the precau- tionary conversation among the workmen yester- day. It was freely expressed, and generally believed, that the “bosses” would, whenever pos- sible, 80 arrange thelr next contracts, as to time, so that a ‘lock-out’ during the win- ter months would not very seriously endan- ger the completion of work in the time agree, and that then the men would be offered their choice of ten hours of work ee day for one day's ay or. idleness until spring. ‘This piece of generalship on the add of employ- ers would, it was believe be confined mainly to ‘such contracts as furnish employ- ment to stone masons, bricklayers, carpenters, and, in some degree, to all work in which each aud all of the seasons do not call for specific styles and almost equal quantities of prodction, And in this connection the duty was eniorced upon all work- men having “power of speech” or other me ans of influence with their fellows, to impress upon all who are now at work the IMPERTATIVE NECESSITY FOR CARE OP MEANS, and of working for the better formation of their various organizations, in order that they may be able to make, if necessary, a firmer stand in the winter than has now been made; and especially was this necessity for care enforced among the vory large number of workmen who were in and around the large hallsin the Germania Assembly Rooms, Bowery. The chief attraction at tne above head- quarters was the meeting of the TRON AND METAL WORKERS’ LEAGUE, which was continued yesterday during the day, in the Germania rooms, and which proved’ to be of very grave importance to the workmen of all the trades. ‘The condition of the tron and metal workers who are now on strike is peculiar. In its distinctive dif- ference from the others it is recognized as not being a movement of the society men, at least not in its inception, and tt is therefore calied by the men themselves & NON-CONSTITUTIONAL STRIKE. The officers state, and they are not contradicted by any of the men, that the strike at this time was not proposed and did not originate with th em- bers of the Metai and Jron Workers’ League. The more experienced members of the organiza- tion declared at the time the strike was proposed that the time was not ipo for it, and that they were not in sucn condition as they desired to be in before making an effort for the enforcement of the elght-lour system. Such Is the statement of both officers and men to the HERALD reporter, And they say, in addition, that the conditions they recognized as existing when the strike was proposed by the non-society men 1s mainly the CAUSE OF DELAY IN THE RECEPTION OF MONEY. for the men who are now on strike. They also de- clare, in asking that the pecullar facts be made known, that the modus operandi 4 which the money hats to pass from the givers to the receivers | is not generally fully understood, and that it is | ignorance in this regard that causes much of the “unpleasant grumbling’ among the men who are waiting for money. that, in order to secure’ safety in the transmission of means for the support of those, on strike, the machinery of the regular organization should be used; for, though they felt that the strike had been, as it were, forced upon them, their society | men felt called upom to join in the effort, and the organization, therefore, felt bound all that could be done to support them to as ful termination of the strife. 88 This decision caused tered upon the strike and seeing that they were really entitled to support. Then, when the test was complet? and verifed, it had to be sent to the HEADQUARTERS IN CLEVELAND to be estimated upon, the amount fixed and the money sent on from there to the strikers here, ‘This lias naturally caused some delay, and is de- clared to be the cause of the grumbling among some of the men. ‘This feeling was quite strongly indicated in the afternoon meet- pas yesterday, though soon after the organi- zation again impressed upon the mass meeting what he considered to be the benefits the workingmen would derive from patroniziug what was declared to be an out of-town building lot scheme. It was held by Mr, Edward McDowell, President pro tem., and others thas there was nothing to be gained by going wiles away for a residence, as the increase of cost for travelling, eating at saloous§ in the city at imidday and Joss 01 tims in going and coming from home more than balanced all the advantages claimed. Thus quictly put aside, the meeting returned to the nrore immediite question, which was the proposition to | call a mass meeting and INVITE THE “BOSSES” to consuit with the men on the questions at issue between them, This was discussed at great length by President Kane,, Mr. McDowell and others, and it was finally décided that if the men thought best to have’ amass meeting they could do so without asking the advice of the bosses, | very tew of whom would recognize them tiere, | The next question of interest, among the iron and metal workers especially, was a proposition, which was made by Mr. John Rouch, to have SEORET TRADE ORGANIZATIONS formed throughout the Union, He advocated their formation, strongly claiming, while so doing, that if their organizations had been secret ey would not have had one-half the trouble they had experi- enced, and holding, in addition, that all that had yet been gained jov the workingmen had veen throngh secret organizations, The proposition for secrecy was: op) by Mr. McDowell, Mr. Kane and others, and some very warm words pg, betiveen Mr, Roagh bs a Redgate on the subect, the latter charging Mr. Roach with having nomivated himself for the presi- dency of the society and abusing s man who tried to get a hearing while he was endeav- oring to control the action of the mem- bers. A return to business was, however, soon gecured, and the proposition for the organ- ization of purely secret societies was tabled, the determination being, durin the pres- | ent struggle at least, to stand by thelr present or- [sone bes ll and make their proceedings, if possi- le, more open than ever before. Then, after some encouraging remarks by several speakers, the pro- ae were, near evening, brought to a close for e day. The Carpenters. The Carpenters’ Association held a private meet- ing, at Demilt Hall, over which Mr. M. Pardey pre- sided. The object of the secret meeting was to consult with the very large cel of the men who have been successful in the eight-hour move- the time still out pay dur may so remain. who are they now out, even should they be out for 3,500 men, fully seven-eights of whom are now em- ployed. ‘they are, therefore, in excellent spirit: and fully determined to see all of their nam Be cured in receipt of a full day's pay for eight work, The United Boss Barbers, In consequence of a notice given by the United Boss Barbers of this city that they will close their establishments on secular days at cight P.

The Ratlway Stable Men. The excitement among the stablemen of the sev- eral street car companies is still continued to some extent, the growing confidence in success has ren- dered the men less violent in their language. Those on the Belt line, Sixth avenue, Second avenue and Broadway lines declared for a strike for $2 per day instead of $1 75; but though a number are now re- fusing to work, very little trouble has been oc- casioned by it, and the belief 18 that an agreement will very soon be reached. Meeting of Marble Polishers. The marbie polishers held a meeting last evening, at Academy Hall, Third avenue, for the purpose of taking further measures to arrive at a successful issue. About five hundred members had assembled. The meeting was specially in favor of the marble polishers, and had no connection with any outside ion. Rte op after further con- sideration, to consolidate with the stonecutters, though such @ course of precpeniny 8 seems to be contrary to the wishes o! ie of them, They boast of having their bosses fairly crippled now, after five weeks’ strike. The bosses endcavor to procure their marble from Vermont, but this the men consider must soon cease. The proprietors of the principal quarries also strive to influence those who are not in favor of eigiit hours to acquiesce In their views and aageeuons, The men want eight hours’ work and nothing else, and unicss this shall be conceded to them they are determined to con- tinue on strike. Now the Tea Clerks. The tea clerks of Brooklyn have drawn out into the stream of strikers, and say they will not sur- render the ground which they have taken until the bosses acquiesce in their demands, The employers Promised in several of the stores to accede to the wishes of their clerks, which ts that they close their stores at eight o'clock each evening, excepting Sat- urdays, when they are willing to labor a couple of hours longer, Meeting of the Boss Horseshoors. A meeting of the boss horseshoers was held last evening at Milliman's Hall, corner of Twenty-sixth street and Seventh avenue. Mr. John Graham pre- sided, and Mr, Matthew Montgomery acied as secretary. On account of the recent riso in the prices of labor and material it was proposed to raise the price of shoeing. After @ great deal of discussion it was finally reed upon that sets of shoes Go Thao rating at $3 should be made to rate at $360, and those at $350 to rate at $4. A great deal of welhig was exhibited, but good sense and order prevailed. Archbishop Purcell Denouncing Interna- tionalism and Trades Unions. CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 27, 1872. The fortieth anniversary of St. Francis Xavier’s College (Roman Catholic), in this city, occurred last evening, a clasa of nine graduating.& Degrees were conferred by Archbishop Purcell, who, in address- ing the class, took occasion to speak of the eight- hour sirikes of trades unions, &c. He said the de- moralizing and destructive influences of Interna- tionalism should be denounced, and would be under @ liberal system of education. He agreed with a recent writer who. believed that the trades unions were detrimental to the laboring man and every person concerned, With reference to the eight-hour movement, if eight hours were agreed upon to-day six or four hours mee be demanded to-morrow, for who should set alimit to such arrogance and dictation? If labor sald to capital to-day it must have $6, to-morrow it might demand $10, “Nv government could continue to exist under such a system, The next cry might be that to possess property was robbery and a divi- sion be demanded. Thus every loafer and drunkard would require a new sub-division each Saturday night, until there should be nothing remaining to sub-divide, A remedy for these evils was Lo a liberal education. Amicable Termination of n Strike. Lockrort, N. Y., June 28, 1872. The strike of the stonecutters in the limestone quarries of Messrs, B. & J. Carpenter, of this city, which has lasted about three wecks, terminated to- day. The difference between the workmen and the employers has been amicably settled.

Ben Wade has written a letter in which he re- fers as foliows to the democratic party and Horace Greeley :— When agreat political party has vecome so con- sciously depraved that they feel there is no hope of reform, suicide may perhaps in such case be virtue, and such seems to be the condition of the demo- cratic party at this time. By ad ing Mr. Greeley as their standard bearer they berately admit, if they are honest, that the poorest, weakest, most vacillating and uncertain republican ts an tmprove- ment on anything to be found in their own party.

The Failure of the Spaniards to Sup- press the Insurrection. RESIGNATION, A Spanish Official in League with the Insurgents. NEGRO SLAVERY IN A NEW FORM The Eqploits of the Filibuster Fannie and the Latest Fighting. Havana, June 22, 1872, The superior authority of the island, Captain Gen- eral Vaimaseda, arrived at this capital from the field of military operations, after an absence of three months and five days, last Saturday evening. Whether he has in reality achieved anything towarda the final suppression of the insurrection is question- able, The fact remains that for over three years, before and since he has had supreme control of the government here, he has been in active campaign, and the military achlevements to be recounted of him are his march to Nuevitas from Puerto Principe, his passage of the River Cauto, the actions near Las Tufias, his shutting himself up in the town of Zarragolta for several months and his famous order dated at Bayamo, April 4, 1860, and others he ts- sued subsequently. The greater part of the time he has been {n the fleld has been taken up by in- trigues and efforts, first to obtain and after- wards to retain the chief command of the island. The insurrection still lives, althongh His Ex- cellency in @ conversation, since his re- turn, with a prominent government official here, whose name I am not permitted to divulge, remarked that what remained of the insurrection was not dangerous to Spain nor to the integrity of herterritory. He calculates the number of insurgents at present in arms against Spanish rule of the island to be lesa than fifteen hundred, with but a small proportion of whites and white leaders, Assertions of this nature, however, have been so frequently made by Valmaseda, as well as by his predecessors, that they have no hold in the belief of even those who have access to him, The insurrection, instead of being subdued and quelled within the short time promised by the gov- ernment, and thought to be an easy job, has now nearly ended its fourth year, and since ita com- mencement large numbers of troops have arrived, almost every mall steamer from Spain bringing re- inforcements, which are at once hurried to the front; the war expenses and amount of property destroyed have impoverished the land; rivers of blood have been uselessly spilt, thousands of Cu- bans innocently slaughtered or expatriated and their property confiscated or embargoed by the government. Upon each return from the “war- path’ of either Caballero de Rodas or Valmaseds the speedy pacification has been prophesied, the number of insurgents stated tobe insignificantiy small and the insurrection generally to be on ifs “ast legs; but it has’ usually resulted in the “prophet” turning out to be on his last foothold ag Captain General of the ever-faithful isle. ‘A SPANISH OFFICIAL PLAYING TRAITOR. The highest and innermost of oficial circles im this city 1s in a ferment over the startling discovery that the Cuban insargents, have found an ally in the very citadel of the Spanish government. It hag just come to light that the Laborantes—a party numbering among its adherents Cubans as well as native Spaniards who are leagued with the patriots against Spanish rule in Cuba—have established con- fidential relations with a high official in the State Department in Madrid. The name of this, oficial is Setlor Millan y Caro, a chief clerk of the Department for American Affairs in the Ministry of State, The alleged traitor in the citadel accused of having disclosed tho recent plans of the government for the suppression of the insurrection to the Laborantes in Madrid, who have communi- cated them to their friends in Havana and New York. Thus, it is charged, the plans of the govern- ment were thwarted before they could be carried into execution, the Cubans being able to forestall them by means of the information received through their aily in the Spanish State Department. THE FILIBUSTERING EXPEDITIONS. Distrust, therefore, is predominant, and the re- cent landing of expeditions by the Edgar Stewart ‘and Fannie, which latter vessel fone landed men and material on the main land south of Cayo Ro- mano, along key on the north coast of the island, running along the coast trom Moron to Guanaja, augurs ovary hing but a speedy termination to the struggle. The safe landing of thes> Milbustcring expeditions is of (ed annoyance to the Spantards, The precautions of the mosquito gunboat flect prove to be useless and easily evaded, and the eluding of these useless crafts is apparently an easy task. So far these gunboats have failed to erform the service expected of them. As stated ome time since in the Heap, they were built at an enormous expense, and a large amount of the money paid for them was used for corrupt purposes. It must not be thought strange that the Count should estimate at so low a figure the number of insurgents In the fleld against Spain; not a month ago he stated, to a Consul at Santiago de Cuba, their number to be about three thousand, and abont six moaths ago only 300 under arms; and so the tn- portance of the Insurrection has been depreciated at different periods to suit political purposes and keep. the “impatients” Ja trim with false statements, VALMASEDA'S RESIGNATION, As to his leaving the island, Valmaseda states he does not know himself anything deilnite; that he | resigned, but received an answer por last mail to the effect that as yet no proper porson had been found willing to replace him. Valmaseda's enemlos— and he has acquived a large numbsr—declare that he haa, in fact, accomplished nothing toward the aciication of the islaud, and that the insarrection IS a8 potent now as it was a year, ey assert that his successor will soon arrive, a they await with marked iinpatience for tite 6mielal and positive report of his rellef, tis also aMrmed that Valmaseda has a new and decidedly original plan ready to carrs tion to enable Spain to protract her waniog vi over this island and reguin possession of tie con- ted distiicts—namely, to hast-n the completion of the great Ventral Railroad, which ts to connect Puerto Principe, Santiago de Caba and all the prin- cipal cities ane 8 witht the city of Havana, and to adopt a aystem of military colonization along its extent, of giving up portions of the embargoed and confiscated lands to squads of soldiers for the pur- poses of cnitivation, Mii ‘y agriculture 13 a hew dea, and due credit therefor should be allowed Val- maseda. These soldiers would be still under mili- tary subjection, and, tiguratively speaking, at the word of command turn up the soil with their bayo- nets and reap the harvest with their Is, _keep- ing both weapons to use against thst main newgh- bors in case Of any futare at-cmpts at insurrection, Of course first suppressing the present one. After a certain lapse of time all the land cultivated wilt be deeded to the soidier cultivators, who will have beaten their swords into ploughshares and reaping- hooks, and peace prevail forevermore, NEGRO SLAVERY IN A NEW FORM, The following 1s from the Diarto of the 18th:— “Don Eusebio Soler, of Havana, who is at present restling in Barceiona, has solicited perintssion from the Minister of the Colonies at Madrid to in- trodudé into the Island of Cuba ‘salaried colonista’ from Egypt aid Abvgsinia, wh ropesal ay been rewltted to the Superior Civil Governor of that isiand, so that, having consulted with the Central Commission of Colonization, appointed by sad authority, he may decide regarding the de- tails which this question embraces. When it ts | considered tnat the cx-king of the slave traders, Don Julian de Zulneta, iy the President of the Cen. tral Commission of Colonization, the foregoing means that these men are to be brought to this {stand as negro bondsmen, to be catied ‘contracted negroes,’ or, in plain Engiish, ‘enslaved.’ THE FILIBUSTER FANNIE. In respect to the steamer Fannie, which, as is above stated, has successfully landed her expedl- tion, the Diario haa the following, trae to its promise of writing the history of this vessel:— “Upon writing the flirat chapter of this little steamer’s history we stated she left Baltimore, & port of considerable importance in the United States, cleared in due form for Turk’s Island, and upon the high seas intended to transfer from two schooners, the filibusters, arms, &¢., which had been engaged for that purpose and had positive in- structions as to the time and place of meeting. If our later news 13 exact the litte pirate steamer has been seen between soine of the Bahama Islands, and the two schooners near by, transferring arms, munitiona of ali kinds aad filiousters of all races, drawn (rom their nearest depots, After effecting the transfer this little vessel, cleared in due form in baltimore, probably continued her voyage to ‘Turk’s Islnd. ‘This second chapter in the history 0! thy Fannie ts rather short, but may give rise to something like the following Masrer—Why, is not the ended ?
