JORDON BUILDING TRADES LOCK-OUT Whe Fight for Nine Hours and How It Progresses. LOCK-OUT OF TWENTY se ube Whe Building Trade in London at a Standstill. THOUSAND MEN, \A MASTER BUILDER'S ACCOUNT Whe Carpenters’ Parliament at Bloomsbury. A WORKMAN’S STORY. Tho Herald Correspondent’s Interview with Representative Men on Both Sides, Lonpon, June 24, 1872. What would most strike an American about the movement which is now exercising the London yuliding trades is the length of time that it has been nging on. Can you credit that a body of artisans, ‘which we are toid will not be less than fifty thou- #and men, commenced nearly twenty years ago to agitate for nine hours as a day’s labor, and are still fighting for it like grim death? It is, however, a fact, and may remain a fact for ages tocome. The flemand for reduction of time was first raised in 4853, when builders were working, asa rule, fifty- eight and a half hours per week. In the autumn of 8857 the carpenters and joiners, who have held their ground in the forefront of the battle ever since, in- -gtituted ‘a regular nine hours crusade by appointing delegates from fifty different shops in the metropo- dis to concoct measures for promoting it. In June, 4858, &@ masa meeting of all the building trades ‘was held in Exeter Hall, when the nine hours motto ‘was adopted with acclamation. A memorial Was presented to the masters, informing them that the time had come when there must be a better equall- ¥ation of the hours of labor, in consequence of the @reat increase both of population and machinery. It was averred that a reduction of labor—then ten fours a day—by even one hour would be a great ‘boon to society in general, and would have a bene- cial tendency as regards employés in improving ‘heir moral and social condition. The masters re- plied through the Builders’ Society, which then rep- resented the principal firms in London, that the ‘memorialists had done much credit to themselves ‘by their method of presenting the request; but weally i¢ could not be acceded to in the existing tate of the trade. In November, 1859, the whole of the building artisans combined im sub- ascribing a second memorial, reiterating their demand for an hour per day less labor on the ®xisting rate of wages. It advised the masters in ‘heir future contracts to have regard to the nine hours, for the memorialists were so sanguine as to wonsider the consummation of their desire in- evitable, The masters having repeated their denial vof any concession, a Trades’ Union Conference was formed at Westminster, as secretary of which honest George Potter rose one morning to find himselffamous. He did not carry the nine hours, \however. The masters retaliated rather spitefully by pledging themselves to an engagement against employing unionists in their shops. This made a double question—the masters standing as stanchly -totheir “infamous document” as the men did to their nine hours aday. Ineed not carry you through ‘the whole painful history of one of the most de- «eermined strikes ever witnessed in England. After judges, agitators and philanthropists bad vainly tendered their mediation the struggle burned itself out. The masters withdrew their “infamous docu- ment” and virtually committed themselves to a re- Cognition of unionism, which was indirectly an im- ‘mense gain for the men. The latter haa to accept a free pardon in lieu of the nine hours, both sides «resuming work again very much “‘as they were.” THE PRESENT NINE-HOUR REVOLT, But the masters had only gained a loss in defeat- {ng the nine-hour movement. Not only masons and carpenters, but all classes of artisans in the ‘United Kingdom held so resolutely to their point on reduced hours of labor that, as George Potter predicted, their desire was bound to be consum- mated sooner or later. It has made headway in ‘the English provincial towns; so much so that in allimportant trades the nine hours a day is almost ageneralrule. You will remember the desperate and successful struggle that the engineers made for it last autumn against iron antocrats, like Sir William Armstrong, of Newcastle. The carpenters of London had been nibbling ata re- moval of the nine hours contest for a couple of years before the engineers went in and won. But they could not carry the non-union men with them sufficiently to warrant the hazardous experiment ofa strike. This season there was @ general stir- ring of the dry bones, and where everybody had been languid or lukewarm before was of one mind now that human patience could bear no fur- ther delay. The masons moved first, and threat- ened their employers with astrike for the nine hours on the 1st July. While negotiation was pend- ing on their memorial the carpenters, who are a more headstrong lot, put in an intimation that failing the concession of nine hours at ninepence, sthey should strike on tne Istof June. They did with respect to two selected shops, which were sup- josed to have the most work on nand—Messrs. rasa, of Old street, St. Luke's, and Jackson & Shaw's, of Pimlico. ‘The Masters” Association sum- moned the trade, as they had done in 1859. and found out the disposition of the London builders in general toward a lockout. THE ARBITRATION SCHEME, It was resolved at a general trade mecting that the men’s ultimatum should be reterred to Lord Derby and the Marquis of Salisbury, The men answered that they did not want tie inter‘crence of aristocrats who did not know a “hawk from a handsaw.”? They would not budge an inch as to the nine hours, nor would they allow the men they had called out of the two shops above-named to return to work pending arbitration. A mass vote of the carpenters was taken in their several shops on these points, and it rejected the proposais of the masters by overwhelming majorities. A general lock-out was then declared and commenced on Wednesday last. Up to Saturday night sixty-six firms were reported to have locked out their men— masons, bricklayers, carpenters and all. THE SITUATION DESCRIBED. In view of this dead lock you wish, of course, to hear both sides of the question. I have waited, therefore, upon an influential and intelligent builder, Whose account of the situation you may accept as fairly representing the feelings of the masters. Afterwards I hud an interview with three masons, who have actively promoted the agita- tion. Two of them were members of the strike committee appointed last week for the special direction of future proceedings and the other was secretary of one of the principal lodges in the amalgamated union, The masters’ rep anta- tive was Mr. Plunkett, of the firm of W. Cubitt & Coy, the most, extensive of the high-class builders in London. You must allow the men, at their own earnest request, to remain anonymous. One of them told me he had been three years out of work through the publication of his name ta connection with a strike, Another told moe he had been discharged through having attended on two deputations prior to the commencement of the lock-out. Linterviewed them at the head oitice of the strike committee, by whom they were recommended to me as intelligent and impartial men. There can be no hesitation as to their bona jldes, nor any doubt about the length of their experience as London masons, whichis almost as old as Mr. Plunkett's experience of building. This gentienien has beon more than a generation in the rade, and has been oficialiy associated with all the principal movements. Before there was any ‘apprehension of strikes he acted as Treasurer to the juilders’ Society—a half union, haif club—which ‘was maintained by the nabobs of the building trade. During the strike of 1859 the outside builders were called in and a wider organization formed under the name of the Builders’ Association. Mr, Plunkett was elected its chairman, and as such he prepared @ report on the whole progress of that contest. In the early of the present month he was chairman of a mee’ which resolved again to convoke the heral trade and to resuscitate the Buliders’ ation. But since the lock-out he has not borne an active part in the movement, and the probability is that may ually disen; himself that is rela toward his own yard is well known to most employed, while at outside three times that number. If ditt & Co. for a mansion, ala office, or & warehouse, they iu and ready in to go*beyond their own yard for an article they put into it, BUILDERS’ SOCIRTY. On telling Mr. Plunkett that I had called on him for the Nsw York HERALD, the Jonn Bullish reserve peculiar to his nation and very marked among his class disappeared ina moment. He assured me of jeasure it would give him to afford me any special information likely to interest ‘American readers. Striking the iron while tt was hot, I asked him how jong experince he had had of the building trade in London. “Well,” he answered, “T have been in this establishment thirty-one years alengerhers and for twenty-two years I have been a partner. CORKESPONDENT—How many strikes have you had among your men in that time? Ma&sTeR—There was the big strike in 1859, which you know about, and a small one in 1865, which did not come to So Sine Treckon this is the third that has happened in London. OORRESPONDENT—Now, to what extent and in what way do you think they have been successful? Mastek—I won’t deny that they have tended to raise wages; but then the men overlook this other fact that the increased wages have entailed a re- action in the trade and thrown many hands out of employment. CORRESPONDENT—How much might the cost of building labor have advanced during the period of ag strikes, or say within the last twenty rears 2 Master—Possibly fifteen per cent. (Another ta builder has given me a considerably higher estimate than this, but with an explanation that the introduction of machinery has counteracted the rise of wages.) CoRRESPONDENT—What are the men asking in the present case? Masrer—They have two objects in view—one to [pos their hours reduced from fifty-six and a half to ifty-one per week, and the other to get 7d. more money for the reduced quantity than they re- Saving now—that is, 388. 3d. instead of 378, 8d. per week, . CORRESPONDENT—Which of these demands do the Masters seem to have the greater difficulty in com- plying with’ MAaTRE They, have viewed the subject altogether as a question of supply and demand, and had evi- dence that labor was to be obtained at existin, rates if the right of contract between individual masters and individual workmen were not inter- fered with. CORRESPONDENT—You were chairman, were you not, of the Masters’ Central Committee, which con- ducted the negotiations? MAsTER—Not really that. I presided at the meet- ing, of the Builders’ Society, which resolved on con- voking a general meeting of the trade, but I have not had much connection with the Builders’ Asso- ciation since its recent revival, The association, you must understand, is a temporary body, the same as in 1859, but the society*is of long standing. I have been its secretary for many years. CORRESPONDENT—Wonuld you nay, inform me what has been the guiding policy of the masters in dealing with the men's memorials and from what motives they have endeavored to act ? MAsTE! ur position was always clear enough. We held that the demands of the memorial were not ystanied by the condition of the trade, and told them so. CORRESPONDENT—Then how did yon relent so far as to offer to submit the whole issue to arbitration ? MasTeK—We reckoned, of course, on being able to satisfy the arbitrators of the reasonableness of our action. CORRESPONDENT—But the masters were disposed, were they not, to make some concessions ? MasTeR—They have never said so or held out any hope of it. CORRESPONDENT—How do you account for the miscarriage of the negotiations which preceded the lockout ° MasTER—These were not regarded as negotiations but as conferences granted tothe men at their re- quest. They came and stated in so man words what they wanted. We could not grant ene the deputations had 1™® power to make any diflca- tion of their ultimatum, or the affair might have ended otherwise. CoRRESPONDENT—Was there much unanimity among the masters in resolving on a lock out ? be eam was @ considerable majority in fa- vor of it. CORRESPONDENT—Do you think it has answered the master’s expectations ? MastER—It is too early to decide that. Since Wed- nesday, sixty-six of the largest firms in London have locked out, and no doubt others will follow as they can arrange for it. CORRESPONDENT—Has this desperate remedy hada good moral effect do you think, on the men ? MasTER—I don’t suppose so. Lock-outs are quite as bad as strikes for producing ill feeling between employers and employed. . COR RODEN Sh may I ask what you think o1 THE SITUATION NOW ? MASTER—The two sides seem to me to be running in parallel lines, with very little Chance of meeting until one of them alters its course. CORRESPONDENT—Do you suppose that the ma- jority of the masters are still indisposed to do any- thing CSE G ‘ Mastgr—They hold another committee meeting to-day but I liave very little notion what turn the business may take. CORRESPONDENT—How many men do Messrs. Cubitt & Co. employ on an average ¢ MasTER—From twenty-five hundred to three betes including those in the shop and on vari- ous jobs. es A hoot el a very strong among hem ? MasTER—That is a matter we take no cognizance of whatever. The men have as much right to com- bine as their employers, so long as they do not coerce or intimidate others. + CORRESPONDENT—Have unionists great influence over the rest of the men? MasTER—No doubt avout it, and quite natural that they should. Wherever you have a lot of men together there are few who will care to stand out against the wishes or eee of tlie gencral Wah CORRESPONDENT—AS director of this large estab- lishment would you say that builders have more trouble in controlling their men than they had be- fore the introduction of unionist principles ? Masten—There is no difference whatever that I know of, except in cases like this. Employers never hear anything about unionism in their shops until the outbreak of trade disputes. A HEARING ON THE OTHER SIDE. Within an hour after I had thanked Mr. Plunkett for his information and wished him good morning I was dowp at a small public house in a back street in Westminster, fitting on a treble pair of mason's spectacles, My companions were all stalwart, dogged Englishmen, fresh from the mallet. They had been working up to the day of the lock-out, and it was no fault of their own which trans- formed them from inoffensive srtisans into mutineers, with slightly soured tempers. The answers given to my inquiries had to be pieced together, so as to embrace the experience of all three. Though not strictly personal in form, they are genuine in substance. For the reason already stated I withhold names, CORRESPONDENT—How long have you been in Lon- don as working masons? Workman—The eldest of the three had been twenty years, CORRESPONDENT—What was the rate of wages when you commenced work here ? WorKMAN—Up to the spring of 1853 we had five shillings a day for fifty-eight and a half hours’ work, Then when wé started @ nine hours’ agitation the Masters put'us off with an increase of sixpence per day. In 1861, soon after the termination of the nine hours’ strike, they forced upon us the hour system, and made the wages seven pence per hour for fifty-six and a half hours per week, In 1865 they advanced us @ penny an hour, without Moelle I to strike. Afterwards, when it suited their con- venience to have less work done in winter, they gave us the nine hours at our own expense during the three winter months, CORRESPONDENT—What 1s the condition of the ole masons compared with those in the prov- nees WoRKMAN—Much worse, sir, we think. We reckon we would be as well in the country with six pence or nine pence Jess than in London, CoRRESPONDENT—What makes such a difference ? A WORKMAN’S STORY. WoremMan—Weii, sir, both rent and food are cheaper in the country, There you have more space to live in, you have a little house and a garden for half the rent that a couple of rooms cost here. I have a family of ten children stowed away now in three rooms, which cost nine shillings a week, about a.ourth of my whole income. We masons have to quarter ourselves if we can about Lambeth here, because there is more work going on. There are hundreds of wharves on the south side of the river for landing Portland stone and large sheds attached to them for dressing it. When sent out to jobs we may have to walk to any part of London, and all in our own time, which often brought up our ten hours a day to thirteen or fourteen hours, My mate there, continued the speaker, has had for months to tramp from Kensington up to Camden Town, a good five miles, as you know. “ Yes"? interposed the mate, ‘Ljust about walked the nails off my ject that time.” We don't complain so much when we are put on @ large job, because then, if we choose, We may go and live near the place, but it is too bad to be sent ont to a repairing job which may last only a fortnight, and not have a minute’s allowance made either way, RAPID TRANSI CORRESPONDENT—Do you not find tne cheap work- men’s trains useful in saving time’ WonrkMAN—That’s asit may happen, sir. With the position of the line and the running of the trains very often they take such a roundabout route that we can walk quicker than we can ride. Of late years the ohject of the workmen's trains has beeh neutralized by the advance of rents in the suburbs. Even as far away ss at Wimbledon they are now very little cheaper than in Lambeth, ‘The cost of the ticket, two shillings or half a crown a week, is hard to save in that case, Rather, it is aclean loss; fora man who lives in the suburbs never has a meal at home on week days, and of course that makes it dearer than if he lived with his family, HIGHER WAGES OR SHORT HOURS. CoRRESPONDENT—NOW, What were the men most anxious about when thoy sent in their memorial to the masters last February—the nine hours or more “Foaguan—It should have been plain to every man that we far lows of gettin; pare eats Gen a athe crn Don we asked for was an addit week, and do bay about that the masters met us in a friendly Way on the main point? If we could afford it we would ike the nine hours and lose the wages rather than have hundreds of idle men going about streets every winter. Sir, I never expected to see a nine-hour strike again. The principle seemed to me to be so just and fair for all parties that should sooner have thought the masters would give it to us of thelr own accord. TOWN AND COUNTRY. CORRESPONDENT—Have you any fear of men being brought from the country to supplant you’ WOREMAN—Not the slightest. Country masons gre much better of than we are and are more anxious to make room for us among themselves than to take our places. We could show you fiity towns in our Leia list where the nine hours have been introduced, Five-and-twenty large towns like Rochdale, Blackburn, Binckpars and Bolton work only forty-eight and one-hall hours pe week, Pres- ton! ay Dewsbury and others work forty-nine and one-haif hours, What we want is fifty-one hours, and several of the leading provincial towns have carried that within the past month or two. In the country they have another advantage, in the code of ruies, which is binding on both masters and men, Besides defining the rights of the men aud (pang them privileges which we do not possess, it avoids any necessity for personai disputes be- tween employers and employed. The soclety rati- fies the rules and enforces them. FAILURE OF THE NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN MASTER AND WORKMAN. CoRRESPONDENT—What do you think as to the course of the negotiations and the cause of their failure ? WOREMAN—They failed, it seems to us, be- cause the masters in the first instance would hardly hear us at a!l, and then, when they could not avoid it, they offered us a sort of arbitration to suit themselves. The carpenters and masons might have co-operated better, per with their memo- rials, We gave notice for of July, shouid have gone to work to-day had the masters not locked us out because the carpenters went rather ahead of us und, in @ manner, tied our hands, STRENGTH OF THE TRADES UNIONS. eR ann canENS ARO masons, as a rule, society en? WoRKMAN—Oh, yes; far more so than any other building trade. We reckon that throughout the wihels Kingdom two-thirds of our number are in the on, CORRESPONDENT—Then is your movement now en- tirely directed by the union WorRKMAN—Ol, yes, by the Strike Committee, which represents the locked-out men, co-operating with the Committee of London Lodges, which is a permanent body. FAITH IN EACH OTHER. CORRESPONDENT—What do you look to chiefly as @ means of settling this dispute ? WorkmMaN—Our best assurance is that we are strong financially and have the most perfect faith in eacn other. CORRESPONDENT—Are you being WELL SUPPORTED OUTSIDE YOUR OWN UNION ? WORKMAN--We have no reason at all to complain, Many of the engineers’ shops in London are levying themselves on our account. The other trades all remember that we have been the most liberal to- ward them in their troubles, and we can trust them not to forget us. We also rely a good deal on public opinion, because we have not been the aggressors. From the first our action was quite conciliatory and we had no connection with the proceedings which led to the lock-out. CORRESPONDENT—What is the general feeling of the men as to the manner in which the lock-out ‘was effected ? THE LOCK-ovT. WoRKMAN—They begin to see now that the masters played a deep game in not requiring Jack- son & Shaw and Brass to lockout with the others, As soon as the lock-out began these firms set about discharging men by scores, and so irritated the rest that they got the committee to call them all out. That was what Jackson & Shaw and Brass wanted, for it enabled them to claim the benefit of the strike clause in their large contracts with the gov- ernment. Other masters acted unhandsomely in offering to retain all men who would pledge them- selves not to support the agitation in any way. Others have behaved very partially to their men in locking out those on jobs which were in no hurry, and keeping on those whose work they wanted finished. But the most general grievance among us was making us scapegoats for the carpenters, with whom we had no ee CORRESPONDENT—Have any tirms granted the re- quired advance or any part of it ? WORKMAN—Oh, yes, One or two told their men when the work was ordered that ney might have eight anda half pence an hour for nine and a half hours a day till the dispute was settled; then should as nine hour system be carried they would have it 00. * RESUME. Before taking leave of my three incogniti I may mention one respect in which their unanimity “. resents a peculiar feature in this movement. It has no leaders and will have none. George Potter and his friends got such a rise for themselves out of the firat struggle of 1859 that they virtually ceased to be workingmen. They have been tabooed at @ general mass meeting and have no connection whatever with either committee. So far there is very little symptom of the appearance of a new George Potter or Robert Applegarth, The mutinous Sal arated and masons are steeped in Hecaeiey ‘ns “ fraternity’ as thorougaly as any Communis' club. THE ORANGEMEN. Some Facts About the Admirers of the Dutch Prince. | Lessons from Last Year’s Riot—Arrangements of the Military and Police—The Celts to Laugh and Not to Fight—Route and Ar- rangements of the Procession. The intolerant but fanny enthusiasts known to “he disgusted American public as the Orangemen, or, as they modestly call themselves, the A. P. A., are again preparing to vindicate their “principles” by offensively parading their conceit, ignorance and stupidity in the eyes of our citizens, The re- ligion of these men is comprised in ‘a shorter catechism” than that of Westminster, and con- sists, mainly, in denunciation of certain Irish war- riors, whose ashes, transformed in the process of time to native mud, gave nourishment to choice specimens of northern ‘‘murphys,” destined to tickle Orange palates, and to frantic semi-religious yelpings in favor of William the Third of England, who never was an Orangeman, though Prince of Orange, and who, if he were alive to-day, would Ku Kiux, keelhaul and scuttle every “W. M.” he could lay his hands upon. Some three hun- dred years ago (more or less) a ect of carpet-bag- gers, mule-drivers and creatures of that class took | advantage of the POLITICAL NECESSITIES OF WILLIAM THE THIRD, and when he left Ireland proscribed the leading residents, and commenced a reign of terror and tyranny which prevailed until the pas- sage of the act of Catholic Emancipation, It was their interest to be organized and prepared for strife, and, like all bodies and indi- viduals guilty of cruelty and injustice, they hated their victims with a fervent hatred. What was protection to them once became in time a religion. And this faith, ultra-Protestant and non-Christian, the English government fostered and favored until the iskand was in a ferment ofdisorder. The weight ofenlightened public opinion at length felt and pressed heavily against those social disorganiz- ers and murderous Protestants, and they were | eventually laughed into, at least, an outward | acquiescence in the spirit of the nineteenth cen- | tury. But as THE ORANGE SOCIETY grew less and less in Ireland it was vigorously started and as determinedly maintained in the | United Staies and Canada.

POPE JONES’ DOMINION, DARK DEEDS ON RANDALL'S ISLAND. “+ eS A Harrowing Tale of Cruelties, as Told by One _ Who Was There---The Sworn State- ments of William Kinney, BOYS CHEATED OF THEIR EARNINGS. Whipping Extraordinary—The Cases of Romozier and Kilgammon—Whipped Till They Fainted—Sent to Hospital. The management of the Randall's Island House of Refuge is very properly attracting public atve tion in all quarters, and as the State con- tributes $40,000 per year to the support of the Reformatory(‘), it is probable that the next Legislature will make a searching inquiry into the irregularities that the articles published in the HERALD from time to time and the trial of the boy McDonald for the killing of Buchanan show to ex- ist, The more recent REVOLT OF SATURDAY LAST a would seem to indicate that the abuses have not all been put an end to, and that Pope Jones still re- forms in the wrong direction. Seeing the article in Tuesday’s HeraLp on the House of Refuge, William Kinney, a young man from the Seventh ward, who served eighteen months there and was discharged a few weeks ago, called at the HERALD office and made A VOLUNTARY STATEMENT that gives color to previous reports'of the tyranny and brutality that exist there. Some of his state- ments are so startling that one would scarcely credit them had he not made affidavit to their truth before a notary. He is a young man of much in- telligence, and seems to be very familiar with the working of the institution. THE KILLING OF BUCHANAN. He states that he witnessed the revolt when Bu- chanan was killed; that there was no revolt against the authority of the prison until after Mr. Adams, a foreman of the shoeshop, drew 2 pistol to shoot McDonald, when two of them got around him and threw him out of the way TO SAVE THEI COMRADE’S LIFE. While they were scuffing with Adams McDonald escaped to the yard. After that he declares that Mr. Adams passed through the shop with a drawn pistol and threatened to shoot the first boy who would leave his place. Twelve of them at once proceeded to the yard. Four armed themselves with knives and the | others broke up stools, and, arming themselves with the legs, stood by the wall. They were joined by others and twelve of them were locked up. John Jones, the Superintendent, entered the shop immediately after and read from a paper the names of ten boys who he expected would revolt. They were at work in the shop, and, Kinney says, had TAKEN NO PART IN THE REVOLT beyond looking out of the windows. Among them were Thomas Welsh, John Sullivan, Daniel Sullivan and Alfred Kerrigan. They were sent down to the Tombs on the charge of inciting a revolt. As @ punishment for the part taken in the émeute by their comrades — ai the boys in the second division, about 350 in number, were excluded from the privileges of the | yard, and not allowed to play or converse for three or four days, A delegation of about thirty called upon Mr. Jones and told him they would not work | except they had the privileges of the yard, Ten of these were sent to the Tombs on the charge of inciting a revolt. Among them were James Tiughes, James Driscoll, Henry Obermeyer, Gilbert, Johnston and Peter Demerest, The remainder of the thirty were locked up in their cells, without beds, and kept on bread and water tor nine days, when they were remanded to the shop; but MR. JONES ADDED A SENTENCE OF ONE YEAR to the term of each of them, and stood them on a line with their heads bent down and their hands he- hind their backs for eight days, while the other boys were out of the shop. HOW THE BOYS ARE CHEATED. He reports that in what is called the ‘new shop” boys are systematically swindled. After a boy ia there nine months he can enter this shop, where for the first three months he receives no pay; the second three months he gets $3 per week, and third three months $5 per week. When a boy has been there nearly six months they will find some excuse to remand him back to the old shop and CONFISCATE ALL THE WAGES DUR HIM for services, a8 a punisiiment. Among those who Kenny recollects were thus cheated are Barnard Dunn, who lost $38, and Frank Stockman, who lost few American citizens can be found in it, for the reason that once a European becomes an American py adoption he does not care @ “rap” whether Willian lil, was inclined to the Thirty-nine Ar- ticles, the Koran or the easy doctrines of Mrs. Woodhull. | The Orange Society (or the A. P, As, | which is the same thing) was delighted with the result of the bloody riot of the | | last 12th of July; for it promised a large accession to their ranks, aud consequently increased power to | the knavish leaders, the society has certainly in- creased in numbers since that frightful occurrence ; but it has also gained a larger measure of PUBLIC ODIUM AND CONTEMPT, It ts felt thut a body of sane men who would wil- fully put the State to trouble and expense and in- vite massacre, merely for the pleasure of shouting throug dhe streets the name and fame of a Duten adventurer long monldered mto dust, must be des- titute of principle and ignorant of the teachings of Christianity. Our laws, however, permit now, though with re- striction, th unseemly and useless exhibitions, and last year the available forces of the State were, very properly, called out to protect these politico. | religious Junatics in their right to flaunt their un- meaning banners in the face of a people who de- | tested tiem. In PROTECTING THE ORANGEMEN the militia got demoralized, through want of proper | diset line; tired without orders; fired indiscrimi- nately, and without regard to law. The most dan- gerous enemy @ front-rank man of a militia com- any had to dread was the rear file, and vice versa, Tne besashed leader of the foolish persons desired to protect was in as much danger as the spectator on the sidewalk; though the spectators, being in the majority, natu- rally got the worst of it. This year, on “THE GLORIOUS TWELFTH," as bes been stated, the Orangemen will egaln about $60. The latter was taken back to the new shop on condition that he would work for $3a week. There is an incentive to enter the new shop beyond the question of pay. The discharges usnally ocear from this shop, and a boy who has no friends | or in nee usually strives to get into this shop that he may be discharged. Kenny reports tiat it is not an uncommon thing to keep a boy who is sen- tenced for one year, from cighteen months to five years, and he instanced tehael Malon nd Wil- liam Piche after serving five years on a sentence ofone. So severe are the eXactions, he says, that several | boys who had earned in the new shop from sixty to | sixty-five dollars ran away and left it when they only had a week or two 1o serve out their term. | Ifa boy turns his head during service or commits any little breach of the rules he is expelled from the shop and his pay forfeited. Formerly these for- feits were divided among the remaining boys, but Kenny asserts that now they are appropriated by | other parties, he believes, and no account mape to the Board of Managers. He describes the mane | ner in which boys sentenced for a short time and | KEP! FOUR OX FIVE YEARS as being the manipmation of the third division, which has jour grades—No, 4 being the lowest. | When. @ boy is six weeks in the lowest grade he |s raised to the third grade, where he will have to serve twenty-four weeks without being promoted, | so that he can get out of the division and enter the | new shop, from which the discharges usuaity oc- eur, When a boy reaches, by good conduct, the highest grade and is ready to be advanced to the new shop they enter marks against him, UPON SOME TRIVIAL PRETEXT, that throw him back from the class of honor, from which the promotions to the salaried shop are made, Thus, if a boy’s labor ts of value to the contractor ba” ae it is farmed out dt sa back a4 IN. THE INSTITUT! AFTER YEAR, ‘If be have no influential friends to secure his dis- charge and rescue him from the clutches of Pope Jones and his Philistines of Randall's Island. Kenney that b: sakfast oon siats of cof- at breal cont @ cot: fee and about th of @ loat of bread, wineh is sour; (or about one-tenth of a loaf of) bread, and soup in which he has seen SPIDERS, COCKROACHES AND OTHER INSECTS, Once per wegk boiled beef is added for dinner, and three times per week very rank butter. They work from half-past seveu A. M. till noon, and from one to half-past tour P. M. Supper takes place at twenty minutes before five, and consists of bread and tea; and at eight P. M. they are locked in their cells until half-past flve the following morning. [lifteen min- utes are given them dally for play and recreation. THE BRUTAL PUNISHMENTS. Kenney avers that the most brutal punishments are inflicted, and gives names and dates. In the school, for the slightest offence (missing a lesgon, for instance), they will strip a boy from shoulders to calves, tie him down over a bench, and, with a rattan steeped in oll, whip him till the blood spurts and he faints. Sometimes, he declares, the whipper continues to apply the rattan during the time the boy is unconscious. He instances the case of Leo- pold Romozier and a boy named Kilgammon, who were 80 treated, The former, for not having his lesson, about the 20th of February, was stripped, lashed to a bench and WHIPPED UNTIL HE FAINTED, The whipper did not even then discontinue his brutality, but applied the rattan until after Leopold came to. When he attempted to take his pants off at nies Kinney says Leopold found them congealed to the wounds, and he could not get them off without TEARING OPEN THE WOUNDS IN HIS FLESI, He sleptin them all night, and next morning got them off and fot @ new pair in the tatlor’s shop. The case of Kigammon ts even more REVOLTING IN ITS DETAILS. He reports that the Sunday following the first re- Volt this little fellow turned his head during ser- vice, was taken ont, tied over a bench, stripped and whipped till he fainted, The chastiser con- tinued to PLY HIS RATTAN UPON THE UNCONSCIOUS LAD, and only desisted fifteen minutes after he recovered consciousness; he then attempted to walk, but fell down exhausted and was carried to the hospital. He Sprout another case of whipping that resulted in Mr. Sproul, who assisted Mr. Jones in the chas- tisement, being slightly stabbed. Peter Donnolly, who has been since discharged for making a noise with his feet in school, was whipped. During the Operation (it was in February last) he SEIZED A KNIFE AND CUT MR. SPROUL. For this he was locked up for three months on bread and water, and WHIPPED TWIOR A WREK fora month. About the time of the first revolt he Managed to escape from his cell, was detected by Keeper Mullaly and committed by Mr..Jones to the Workhouse, Donnolly put in thirty-two months there. In violation of all ruies, Kenney says, boys are kept there until they are even TWENTY-FOUR YEARS OF AGE, and he says that James Woodruff, William Sproul, dames Rogers, James Fitzgerald, John Findlay, Joseph Quigley, Fred Appley, John Reynolds, Michael Lawlor, John Sullivan, Peter Demorest, William Cheney and Philip Miller were so detained long after they were twenty-one years oF age. Kenney further asserts that they used te TIF THE BOYS UP BY THE THUMBS and whip them in that position until after the émeute, when one of the illustrated papers gave a cut of the mode of torture, and it was discontinued. Ifone-half of what this young man reports as to the revolting cruelties practised upon the boys be true the Randall's Island House of Refuge for the retorm of juvenile delinquents 1s one of the most infamous villanies of this century. For the credit of our city and State, it is to be hoped that Kinney exaggerates; but the main facts recorded above were sworn to by him. He states that if they are dented he will produce further testimony in sub- Stantiation of them. MURDER BY A BOARDER. A Swedish Boarder Stabs His Landlady in Meriden Because His Effects are De= tained for Rent—The Prisoner Held for Trial—The Verdict of the Coroner's Jury. West MERIDEN, Conn., July 10, 18#2, A sensation of considerable magnitude was cre- ated in this place on Monday afternoon. A Swede by the name of John R. Johnson had been living with Mrs. Frederick Hess, a boarding house keeper, for a few weeks past, but having become indebted to his landlady to the amount of $15, without any probability of immediately discharging his liability, his trunk and clothing were detained. This irrita- ted the boarder, and leaving Hess’ establishment at twelve o’clock he visited several rum mills, “liquored up” and then returned, Finding Mrs. Hess in the barroom of the house, serving a customer, he walked over to her, and, without speaking, stabbed her in the neck with a pocket knife, from which wound she subsequently died. Jolnson was arrested, and to-day an inquest was held. A number of witnesses were examined, proving the stabbing and developing other inci dents in connection with the parties. The medical men at first considered the wound a trivial one, believing the woman suffered only trom the shock to her system occasioned by the stabbing, but after the post-mortem examination expressed the pag that the wound was sutflicient to cause deatht The jury returned a verdict that deceased came to her death by a stab inflicted with a knife in the hands of Johnson. The prisoner will be formally examined before a police justice on Friday, pal cet TS ES MTT MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. Married. BAKRER—FE! —On Monday. July 8, by Rev, Delos Lull, Rev, FRANCIS M.
