NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1873,—TRIPLE YACHTING. THE SEASON OF 1873. Its Opening and Prospective Brilliancy. Regatta of the New York Yacht Club. New Boats Added to the Organization—Those Altered and Improved—The Sailing Reg- ulations, the Course and the Prizes— Probable Entries—Invitation from the Royal Western Yacht Olub of Ireland— Ohance to Secure An- other Queen's Cup, Though there has been but little to assure us of the fact save the calendar of the seasons, Spring is here at last. Winter, not satisfied with being more aisagreeable than for many years, seemed deter- mined to be unreasonably persistent, evincing an impertinent desire, like the Old Man of the Sea to take up a tantalizing position on the back of Spring, which he would not vacate. It mattered but little that Spring struggled for relief, as abe ‘was borne down by the heavy load. Yet with all his persistence, all his sullen moods and wild storms, Winter at last is granting a long respite from his tyrannical rule, yielding to green fields and velvety turf that are spreading themselves over the throbbing ground, Leafy June will soon be knocking at the door for admit- tance. There are certain manifestations to indi- cate the fact, and, moreover, others—to wit, that the days of genial sunshine and pleasant, wafting breezes are near at hand, by the activity displayed in yachting circles in and around the waters of New York. Despite the backwardness of the sea- son, when the work of preparation should be car- ried on, there is no hesitancy in observing that THE YACHTING OUTLOOK of the Summer of 1873 is fullof promise. Whatever may have been the success of former years in this soul-stirring pastime; whatever may have been the scenes incident to exciting regattas, length- ened cruises around the coast or matchea races in stormy seasons, from the parent organiza- tion to the smallest of her children, the year before Os, no doubt, in the character of the exhilarating sport will favorably compare with any of its pre- decessors. It will not only be marked with bril- Wancy, but it may result ina series of exciting struggles with the crack schooner Guinevere, of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, owned by Mr. Thellusson, who, as rumor has it, will cross the ocean this season to test the speed of the Ameri- can yacht feet. THE WORKS OF PREPARATION. Though the owners, generally, of the pretty pleasure vessels went to work later than is usual to prepare for the campaign many have exhibited much wisdom in the alterations and additions made to their craft, while others, with commendable zeal, have and stiil are repairing, refitting and redecorating. And in yachting circles there is immensity of talk. Pians for future contests and speculations regard- ing present rigs are eagerly discussed. More so then for several years, there have been constructed during the Winter divers yachts of medium size, whose owners, with dignity and impressiveness; assert that their neighbors may be astonished at their speed and weatherly qualities, all of which goes a gredt way in support of the proph- ecy that the approaching season will in alit ® genuine yachting period. Not realit; only have the several clubs in this vicinity been a pais with new boats where flowing lines and perfect symmetry Of proportions were sought to be attained, but they have made extensive reparations for their annual regattas and the Burner cruises which always follow them, NEW YORK YACHT CLUB REGATTA. First on the list to have their yearly reunion ts the New York Yacht Club. Their regatta will be sailed on Thursday, 5th of June, and from all indications there is every reason to expect that the coming together of the Club’s “pleasure marine” will pro- duce unusual excitement. Several new racers have been added to the squadron, which now numbers over sixty sailing crait, which, together with the radical alterations made in many of the number, will naturally lead to a much tuller “entry’* than has at times been obtained. The change of owner- ship will also have a similar tendency by introduc- ing new and sanguine aspirants for the proffered rizes and the laurels of the wave, and although fie former cannot fall to the lot of all, yet the ma- jority may win phe latter in their episodical or ac- cidental contests during the forty-mile race around the lightship and return. NEW YACHTS. The additions to the Club in the year gone by, though not of the largest size of vessels,are numer- ous, while the changes and alterations in many of the leading craft worthy of note are here an- nexed :— Of the schooners the list presents the Ariel, owned by Mr. William L.

The prizes to be awarded the winning yachts this ear are of equal value. They are not only beautt- fut indesign and finish, but they are serviceable and will be hPa by the winners. Looking at them at Tiffany’s one’s thoughts quite natur- ally, in imagination, follow Rete hulls, tapering masts and canvas setting like a board down the bay and around the Lightship. The ornamenta- tion of each piece suggests it waves and tossing spray and brawny-shouldered sailors and all else linger! around the vague, subtle romance ef the sea. ese pieces of silverwork are four in num- ber and as follews : Punch bowl, which is nine and a half inches in height and twelve inches in diameter and of bur- nished silver throughout. The base is elegantly set off by a cable border, and the handles are formed by anchors five inches in length, of oxidized silver. Upon either side of the bowl is the head of Neptune in bas-relief. Berry or fruit bowl, which is nine and a half in- ches in height and ten inches in diameter. The silver is in satin finish, and all the mountings ox- idized. The base is Lb pete by four dolphins, elegantly wrought, and the. border, one and a quar- ter inches wide, is iormed of a series of anchors delicately executed. The handles are formed by heads of Neptune in the centre, upon either side of which are ivy leaves and anchors prettily entwined, with a cable running down through the leaves to the anchors, the whole forming a beauti- fal silver piece. Chowder bowl, six inches in height, with an oval dish fifteen inches in diameter. This is in satin finish and lined with gold. The cable border finishes the base exquisitely, while the handles are formed by heads of Neptune, and tridenta extend down on either side of the dish. ‘Tankard, eleven inches in at th and is in satin finish, relieved with parcel gilding. Around the centre of the body is a chain of oxidized anchors, with spri of laurel in gilt between each, and through the whole @ cable delicately entwines. The handle is supported by the heaa of Neptune, and in finish and gilding corresponds with the body of the piece. Around the neck runs a cable, While the upper edge has a pretty line of gilt en- circling tt. The cover is surmounted with a large oxidized anchor lying on a coil of rope. Altogether the yacht prizes form a fine collec- tien and are worthy the attention of all who are interested in yachting. INVITATION TO VISIT QUEENSTOWN, The Club a short time since received {rom Secre- tary Parkinson, of the Royal Western Yacht Club of fretand, the annexed cordial invitation to the members to participate in their annual regatta at jueenstown, fixed for the 30th of July next. Her Rajest Queen Victoria has presented them with a cup to be-salled for ou the occasion, and the yachts of the New York Yacht Club are invited to com- pete for this and other prizes. Cannot some of the crack yachts of the fleet accommodate their friends on the other side, and bring home to thia port a second Queen’s Cup?’ It will be glory enough for one season.

The Old Guard assembled at the Astor House yesterday afternoon, and there began their fourth annual celebration, The corridors of the hotel were crowded with the friends and admirers of the Guard, and at three o’clock, when they marched from room 14 and formed line in the vesti- bule of the Broadway entrance they were greeted with cheers. Dodworth’s band, which was in attendance, dispensed operatic and martial music in the rotunda for three quarters of an hour before the line was formed, and gathered quite a large crowd of listeners, The line, com- posed of two companies, marched from the hotel to Wall street, from Wall street up Broadway again as far as the Metropolitan Hotel, where a collation had been spread by Commissariat Gershome B. Smith. While the members of the Guard were partaking of Mr. Smith's hospitality, the President of the association, Mr. Alex. Henriques, arose and informed the members that the entertainment they were then enjoying had been provided by Mr. Smith. The announcement was greeted with cheers, and a8 soon as the enthusiastic outburst had subsided Mr. Smith rose and spoke as lol- lows :— we MR.

Carnugan, of North Carolina, Corners the Confi- dence Men—He Wins $340 at Their Favor- ite Game and Has Them Arrested for Attempted Violence. There have been many complaints brought lately against gambling houses of various charac- ters, Yesterday a case of the kind was brought before Judge Hogan, the singularity of which will naturally attract attention, as the complainant was winner and the defendant the loser to the extent of $240, Mr. Roswell D. Carnugan, the complainant, is a merchant hailing from the interior of ola North Carolina, He is short and thick-set, was attired in @ suit of homespun and possesses a forid and good- looking rustic countenance, fringed with bushy whiskers. His eyes are bright and keen, while his mouth and chin denote firmness of nerve and resolute determination, Yesterday morning Mr. Carnugan was walking up Greenwich street, in the vicinity of the Pacific Hotel, when he encountered a stranger, who sud- denly halted and accosted him familiarly with the inquiry :— “Holloa! Is that you, Carnugan?’ ‘The stranger was a well-dressed man, with the air and manner of one accustomed to city life, He said he had formerly resided in North Carolina, and gave his mame as Samuel Hano, He professed - himself delighted to meet any one from his native State. So was Carnugan, even though he failed to distinctly recall the identity of his acquaintance. As was natural, they adjourned to a neighboring barroom for refresh- ments. While there Hano confidentially informed him that he had just made a successful lottery venture and was about drawing the money, Mr. Carnugan very readily accepted his invitation to mpany him to the place where the money was to be paid. Together they journeyed to the corner of Wash- ington and Cortlandt streets, and went up stairs toa room on the second story, where Mr. Hano presented his ticket and received $100 in bills and @ red check representing more money. A “LITTLE GAME" CALLED “BANCO” was in progress in the back room, in which Mr. Hano invited Mr. Carnugan to try his luck, and very generously offered him the red check to start play with. Mr, Carnugan, nothing loath, accepted the offer, and, staking it on the game, soon netted $40 from the backer of the game. Quite pleased with his success, he allowed his “pile” to remain on the table, and, drawing out his own wallet, aden $100 to it, and continued to play against the nk, The dealer, a Mr. Eéward D. Russel, and Mr. Samuel Hano exchanged significant glances and gmiled as they eyed the well filled pocketbook of the gentleman from North Carolina. Luck con- tinued to favor him, and soon the $140 had mouuted up to $240, Mr. Carnugan increased his stake once more at this stage, and ere long was the fortunate possessor of $340 net winnings. Being a man cool and clear headed and not easily infatuated with success or too readily tascinated by the allurements of the gaming table, he quietly took up the winnings and said he would play no more, A BOWIE KNIFE ROW. This sudden determination of Mr. Carnugan Md not at allenter into the calculations of the game- sters, and they did not appear in the least disposed to acquiesce in its propriety. On the contrary, Mr. Russel made a peremptory demand for the r turn ef the money and placed his back to the door, drew a large bowie knife and threatened to disem- bowel the Carolinian t{ he attempted to leave. The latter quietly surveyed the situation, and, seeing that egress by the usual method was attended with some peril, sought other means of exit. The win- dow was open, and, quickly resolving on his course he jumped through it, alighted on an awning be- neath and, DESCENDING A TELEGRAPH POLB, soon reached the ground. His loud cries of “Police! watch!” &c,, soon at- tracted the attention of OMcer Gorman, of the Twenty-seventh precinct, and, being informed of the facts, he took all three into custody and took them yesterday morning before Justice Hogan at the Tombs Police Court. The defeneants were attired in the usual flashy style affected by gentlemen of their profession and behaved in Court with characteristic coolness. The money was retained in the custody of the Court ae poraered to be sent to the Police Property slerk. Mr. Carnugan, although a non-resident, was not committed to the House of Detention, Judge Hogan remarking that he was sufficiently inter- | ested in the amount of money involved to insure his appearance on the trial. Russel and Hano were each held in default of $1,000 bail to answer the charge. Another Gambling House Broken Up. The examination of the case of Albert Uatman, who is charged with keeping a gambling house at 66 East Twelfth street, drew together a crowd of gamblers in the court room in the afternoon, all of them anxious to learn the result in this the latest phase of the fight between the immense gambling interest and Justice Cox, The testimony was brief. Two officers of the Fifteenth precinct testified rather reluctantly, as it appeared, that they had visited the house in question and found all the implements necessary to carry on a game of faro spread out ona table. Captain Byrne was in- formed of the matter and sent word, as testified to by one of his officers, to have the place closed or there would be ‘trouble,’ Befere any further steps were taken in the matter by the police a man named Harlow H. Priest was inveigled into the place by one of the “cappers,” a man named O’Conor, and lost $14. riest made complaint before Justice Cox, and Oatman was arrested, The defendant's counsel put in the plea that the house was not a gambling house within the meaning of the statute, and upon this lea moved for the dismissal of his client. Judge Cox denied the motion, ana expressed his deter- mination to break up the gambimg houses at all hazards, O’Conor, the “capper,” and one of the b Sadherks specimens of the class, was discharged, on is promise to earn in the future an honest livell- oe Oatman was required to find $300 ball for trial. THE BOGART DEFALCATION. He Admits Perpetrating Frauds by Di. rection of Paymaster Clark, of the Vermont, and Explains to the Court the Modus Operandi—His Share a Fur Coat Worth $125. R. D. Bogart, the paymaster’s clerk, whose ar- rest some months ago, by order of Secretary Robe- son, Created much excitement in San Francisco, has just been tried by @ naval court martial, and from the following statement made by him to the Court, which appears in the Alta California, of May 16, it will be seen that he throws the re- spensibility upon the Paymaster, Clark: Robert D. Bogart, who has been on trial several weeks before a naval court martial for embezzle- ment and desertion, made his final argument yes- terday. The statement was quite lengthy, Mr. Bogart reviewing all the testimony and giving the history of his connection with the transactions, He claimed that, between July 1, 1867, and Decem- ber 1, 1868, Clark had drawn from the safe between twelve thousand and thirteen thousand dollars, in sums of about three thousand dollars, which he spent in extravagant living. This money was par- tially covered up by the direction of Clark, The first false entry made to cover up this amount was made in Clark’s handwriting, September 30, 1867. Bogart took this entry and showed it to the Court. Seven thousand dollars out of the $12,000 were covered up by Bogart. If it was done Clark would blame him, and, perhaps, accuse bim of embezzle- ment, and that he carried $7,000 forward by ferced balance for several months. With regard to the Sherman business, Bogart gave a history of the transaction from the begin- ping. The money was drawn from the Sub- Treasury and loaned to Sherman in November, 1867, and remained in his possession until October 6, and Clark received $100 per month interest, This money was secured by checks in the safe, About the ist 01 October, 1868, the checks were de- posited in the Metropolitan Bank, New York. Ten thousand dollars of this sum was brought on board to pay out. The other $20,000, Bogart says, Clark invested in government bonds. He believed, how- ever, that a large portion of it was returned to the ship and accounted for, but that afterwards Clark said that 1t was embezzled. The accused further stated that by Clark’s direction ne made temporary entries in the casn book to dispose of it. Bogart admits that he did wrong in many instances, but denies that he is the one responsible. He read from speeches in Congress on Clark’s Relief bill to show that Clark was considered the guilty man of the two, and spoke of the fact that the Relief bill was defeated. He admitted that he had never received a written discharge irom the navy; therefore he supposed he must be considered a deserter; but he had no in- tention of committing the crime. 1t was his belief, in mitigation of the penalty, it should be considered he had suifered enough for forty crimes. He had been indicted six times in the civil courts, and had a judgment,of $20,000 hanging over his head four and if He had veen tried by court martial before; was brought irom Texas heavily ironed, and kept for eres months on board the Vermont in that con- tion. In closing, he read General Order No. 162, in the Mal and case of Paymaster rey others, for embez- aling $40,000, wherein the was sentenced to fine and imprisonment, which decision had been set aside bj Lag et Robeson a8 illegal. Since that decision the lings of the departinents and nayal courts had been in accordance with it. The Judge Adyocate will reply, and a decision Probably be arrived at to-morrow. OBITUARY. Alexander mzonti. A cable despatch from Rome, under date of yes- terday, reports the occurrence of the death, during the same day, of Count Alexander Manzoni, the celebrated Italian poet and novelist. He was eight-nine years of age when the light of poetry, of romance, of good feeling and of universal fellow- ship was extinguished in his brain and heart. Count Manzoni was born in Milan on the 8th of March, in the year 1784, He studied at Milan and in Pavia, and graduated with great distinction. His mother was a daughter of Beccaria, the author of the treatise on “Crimes and Punishments,” an advanced freethinker; so that young Manzoni adopted the doctrines of Voltaire at a very early age, as if by inspiration. When he went to Paris, in the year 1805, in company with his ma- ternal parent, his name alone was suficient intro- duction to the salons oi the very best society— literary and of the strictly fashionable classes. its first production wag published in Paris tn the year 1806, 1t was in blank verse, and entitled “In Morte di Carlo Imbonate.” This effort was inspired by the occurrence of the death of a dear friend, anzoni abandoned his Voltairian notions soon after its appearance. He became a very devout and sincere’ Roman Catholic, to which faith his wife had been *converted. The change to the ractice of religion was soon apparent in his works. The first fruit was his ‘Innit Sacri,” a collection of hymus on the Na tivity, the Passion, the Resurrection, Pentecost, the des and other grand events of Bible record, is was published in the year 1810. His first tragedy was entitled ‘11 Conte di Carmagne- lia.” 1t was produced in the year 1820, The pub- lication made him celebrated. This work was fol lowed by the tragedy of ‘‘Adeiche” in 1823. “I Pro- messi Sposi’’ (the Betrothed Lovers), a Milanese history of the seventeenth century, was produced in the year 1827. This 1s considered as nzoni's masterpiece. It rendered his tame secure, and has long since been translated into every language in Europe. An iilustrated edttion of this famous novel was brought outin Milanin the year 1843, and in this Manzoni added to the original text “A History of the Imfamous Column.” Tn this portion of the book he gives a picture of the cruel execu- tions to which pore superstitions gave rise during the terrible plague of 1630, Manzoant lost his first wife Dy death in the year 1833, He mar- ried @ second time. In the month of February, 1860, he was named Senator of the Italian king- dom. His birthday was celebrated as a national event oY his countrymen in 1864. He was deco- Tated with the Cross of the Legion of Honor in 1860; but his fame ava poet and novelist will re- main to the werld long after the glitter of the orders of earthly sovereigns has faded away. Rev. Peter John De Smet. A special despatch forwarded by the Hon. Alex- ander J. P. Garesché announces the death, at the hour of two o'clock yesterday morning, 23d inst., of the Rev. Father Peter John De Smet, the cele- brated missionary among the Indians, and the zealous and disinterested friend both of the Indian, civilized and uncivilized, and of the United States government and its oMicers, ctvil and mil> tary, when employed in the wild and uninviting region which formed the scene of his priestly labor. It would be useless to attempt a recapitolatton of the works of this devoted clergyman. The origin and progress of the missions and missionaries in the American West were described, tn the year 1863, ina preface to the Belgian edition of Father De Smet’s works, written by the Father Edward Ter- wecoren, of the Society of Jesus, in the following words :— Charles Nerincky, formerly parish priest of Ever- berg-Meerbeek, near Louvato, in igium, and early missionary of Kentucky, made journey to Europe to obtain pecuniary aid and fellow-soldiers for the conquest of souls in the New World, In dune, 1821, on leaving Belgium, wirich he was never again to see, he was accompanied by several Bel- gians—namely, Felix Verreydt, of Diest ; Josse Van Assche, of St. Amand; Peter Joseph Verhaegen, of Haecht; John Baptist Smedts, of Rotselaer; John Anthony Hlet, o: St, Amand, and Poter Jobn De Smet, oi Termonde. The last named, who had just attained lis twenty-first year, began by his fast voyage his long and periloas courses by pens and torrents, deserts and foresta, amid whites and Indians—in a word, the thousand dangers and privations which surround an apostolic man in his far-distant ana solitary ex- peditions. ‘The bald and evangelical peregrina- tions of our iellow countryman and brother in Christ have been crowned with the most consoling results for the Chure!, and by a necessary conse- quence tor true civilization, which is effected by Catholicism, ‘The apostolate of Father De Smet is pursued until — this aw. with veal and perseverance. Already, in 18653, his united journeys represented an extent of land and water surpassing five times the cireum- ference of the globe! Since then he has crossed the ocean three times, and traversed immense countries, We offer ardent prayers that God may long preserve this untiring laborer iu the vineyard of the Lord. heii tedael the exampte of his prede- cessors in the labors of foreign missions, Father De Smet has taken numerous notes concerning we countries he has visited. These notes, the result of profound study oi men and things, have a bear- ing on several branches of science and the arts— Geography, Natural History, Astrenomy, Physics, Chemistry, Manners, Customs, Creeds—all are here written by his hand, Prince Iturbide. | A Paris letter to the Lendon Times, under date: of May 10, reports as follows :—“Prince Iturbide, of Mexico, the last surviving son of the Emperor Iturbide, who was shot at Padilla on July 21, 1822, died yesterday at his lodgings, 163 Rue du Koule, aged fifty-fave. He came to Paria during the Mext- can war, in December, 1865, and had several inter- views with the American Minister, whose support he canvassed in favor of his dynasty. The sudden conclusion of the war leaving him no chance, he resigned himself to a very humbie kind of Paris lite. He became attached to a housemaid in the Hotel Espagnol Boulevard Monmertre, where he lived for six montha, and with her he started a table d’hote on the third floor of the house No. 6 Boulevard Montmartre, where thia son of an Emperor might oiten be seen in person round the table to collect the small scot of Li. 60. per head. In 1867 he bought a dancing and singing calé at Courbevoie, which he sold at a profit the next year. Though not rich enough to live ac- cording to his rank, he always had some money, and he seems to have been inclined te make a generous use of it, for the principal part of his assets, which by willhe has left to his partner, consists of outstanding loans. The American Consul, General Meredith Read, has put seais upon his papers. The tuneral, which by the Consul’s orders will be conducted with a certain amount of pomp, takes place at Neuilly on Monday. Eaward Huthwaite, K. C. B. The overtand mail from India brings intelligence of the death of the gallant soldier General Sir Ed- ward Huthwaite, K. 0. B., of the Royal Artillery, Colonel Commandant of the Sixteenth brigade, and one of the senior generals of the Anglo-Indien army, having been upwards of sixty years in the service. He died on April 11, at Sherwood, his resi- dence at Nynee Tal, India, aged eighty years, The General, who was educated at the Military Acad- emy, Woolwich, obtained his first commission as second lieutenant in the Bengal Artillery in No- vember, 1810. He served in the Nepaul war of 1815 and 1816, the capture of Dwarka and other forts in Oude in the hot season of 1817, and ‘during the Mahratta war of 1817-48. He also was present at the attack on Telayon, in Cachar, during the Bur- mese war of 1823-24, and was present at the siege and capture ef Bhurtpore in 1825-26, and served throughout the Shekawattee campal ga or 1834. He commanded the Third brigade of horse artil- lery during the Sutlej campaign of 1845-46, includ- ing the battles at Ferozeshah and Sobraon, and had his name honorably mentioned in the de- spatches of the commander-in-chief, and for his gallantry was promoted and made a Companion of the Order of the Bath, and received the medal and clasp. He served in the Punjaub campaign as Brigadier commanding the foot artillery in 1548-49; was present at the passage of the Chenab and the battles of Chillanwallah and Goojerat, and had his name twice mentioned in despatches, and re- ceived the medal with twoclasps. He afterwards commanded the artillery with the force under Geveral Sir W. R. Gilbert in pursuit of the Sikhs across the Jhelum in 1849, The General's name was twice mentioned in the thanks of the houses of Parliament. In further recognition of his dis- tinguished military services he was, in 1809, nomi- ey @ Knight Commander of the Order of the t A PROLIOSOME FRENCHMAN. He Pulls the Pigtails of Two Gentlemen from China and Is Brought Before Judge Hogan. Two Celestials, Messrs. Ah Ful and Ah Chin, em- pioyed in the Belleville Laundry, New Jersey, wear- ing long pigtails and clad in the picturesque cos- tume of thetr native land, were quietly proceeding through Vesey street yesterday morning when the singularity of their appearance excited the curiosity of a frolic- some Frenchman, named Thomas K. Edmunds. Edmunds sacrilegiously seized the pi is Of the Chinese gentlemen and amused ime by pulling their owners about for afew moments. An officer, however, appeared upon the scene and relieved them from their errbarrassing situation by taking their assailant into custody. None of the parties understanding English, Justice Hogan sent to Bax- ter street for an interpreter for the Chinese, who ‘was found in the person of one Wah Low. Mr. Ww Healy, the well-known Sandusky Follower, merously tendered his services in aid of the nchman, Notwithstanding the Frenchman’ rotestations, however, he was commiltted in $300 © answer jor the assault. | THE LABOR CRUSADE. The Present Situation of the Move. ment in New York. The Orispins Succeed—The Gasmen Fail— The Horseshoers Yet Uncertain—The Carpenters and Painters on the Defensive—An Opinion froma Workingman. A senewal of the time-honored struggle between labor and capital has been so generally predicted that grave apprehensions have*been entertained o. a long and protracted series of strikes during the Summer.. Capitalists have really dreaded the coming of the vexatious contention, and itis not improbable that much work has been declined by contractors from a fear that, through the strikes, they should lose money in the operations. There has, however, come a great lull in trade and com- merce since the opening of Spring. The capitalist, as well as the workingman, is effected thereby, but the power of money makes the former slightly guperior to the latter in the contest. If the Summer is to be an exceedingly gull one for business the employer can very well ‘afford, in a majority ef cases, to let his men go, supplying such places as he can from the country and realizing a great saving in wages, Men who are out of employment find it next to impossible to get work. ‘This statement, coming as it does from one who ts greatly interested in the labor question and a prime mover in the cause of work- ingmen, should be remembered by all who eontem- plate strikes during the Summer, which is now at hand. The men have not been enthuslastic enough this Spring and the golden opportunity hes Passed. “They must try and be content until the Fall,” says the authority above mentioned. Exceptions might be taken in a few branches of industry. 1t is more than probable that if the drivers of ice wagons could create a monopoly of their business they might render their services in- dispensable. On the other hand, itis probable that every coal yard could execute all orders during the Summer with half the force requisite in Winter. These tmportant facts the workingmen of the city fail to remember. They strike without any union with their fellow workmen, or without any ade- quate preparation, and they are then SURPRISED AT FAILURE, No better example need be cited than the strike of the gasmen some time since. There is no ques- tion in the mind of any that, had the men matured their plans, secured the co-operation of the men in the employ of even two other companies, their suc- cess would have been assured. As they were the pioneers in the Spring campaign against capital it behooved them, tn their duty to their cause and their prospects for the Summer, to have delib- erated well before they began the strife. Due, probably, to their defeat is the embarrassed situa- tion in which many of the branches of labor find themselves at present, THE OPINION OF A WORKMAN, A prominent leader in the movement yesterday said to a HERALD reporter :—“The labor movement will fail this Summer—I! now [eel sure of it. The men are not ready, and even if they were the time is ill-chosen, There ts every indication that the season Will be an exesedingly dull one, and my ad- vice W all who are uot actually threatened with a reduction of wages or a renewal of jong hours is to remain at their places. There are too many men iu searoh of employment. It looks ominous to a man who, like myself, has been for twent, years a workingman here in New York. When see all the trades overstocked | certainly consider it a very poor time tor me to go out in search of a new place. This, however, is practically what all the men do who now lay down therr tools to gointo astrike, There is no apparent danger but that the Crispins who struck some time since as well as those who quit work later will finally succeed; but the raUroad companies appear to have been about as well prepared tor the strike as the men were who engaged in it. Ihope the men may succeed; but at present it appears rather doubtful Taken altogetner, I give it as my Opinion that the less out- side agitation made by the workingmen for a tew months the better for our prospects next year.” THE HORSESHOERS STILL DETERMINED, The men now vn @ strike for an advance ot wages are tle horseshoers and the Crispins, The former bave not been as successful as it was ex- ected they would be. They are still very hopefal, owever, and there are some evidences of final success. The custom shops, with one or two ex- ceptions, have surrendered to the demands of the horseshoers, and now pay $4 per day, This ts not, however, the ultimatuun of success. The powertul railroad companies, who have been for some time threatened with strikes on the part of conductors and drivers, it would appear, have de- termined to anite against this first evidence of insubordination, and thereby to destroy the threatened power of their employéa. The Second, Third, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Highth, Ninth and Tenth Avenue and the Broadway Raliroad compa- nies have apparently united against the strikers. They refuse to compromise. They will not make any other than the old terms. They have secured such workmen as they could outside the society, and are doing the beat they can to tide over the storm and stress period. The superintendents ofthe roads—many of whom have been visited— claim that they are able to keep their horses in good condition, and that no more than the usual accidents occur. They speak nf confidently now, although they admit that they did question their ability to supply the places of the strikers durin, the first few days. The men, on the other han are in dally session at the corner of Twenty-sixth street and Seventh avenue. They declare that all the men except fifty who struck have either se- cured new places or returned to their old ones at the advanced wages. They deciare that the non- society men taken into the depots by the various railroad companies are MAIMING THE HORSES in a frighttul manner. They appear very confident that the companies will finally have to surrender, There are five men at work for every one who is idle, and a tax is levied upon those employed to support the men yeson strike. Those who avail themselves of the protection of the society aye required to make an affidavit that they will not go to work for less ti $4 per day. All who accede to these terms receive $20 per week from the general fund. As they are strikii for $24 per week it would appear to the uninitiate that the men who receive $20 for doing nothing have the decided advantage of those who perform ten hours of work per day and receive only $24. The tax of each employed member must equal nearly $4 per week, so that both receive about the sume wages. The only difference is the ten hours’ work each day. The success of the strike Is ardently desired by the men. They maintain, nevertheless, that they will stand out until next Spring rather than go to work at the old terms, SUCCESS OF THE CRISPINS. The Crispins have undoubtedly achieved the ony real victory of the campaign. The shoe- makers employed on men’s boots struck for an ad- vance in wages nearly Miree weeks ago. For a time success seemed doubtiul, and fears were openly uttered that the move would prove abor- tive. Their council and committees went to work in @ systematic manner. The employers who seemed disposed to treat with the men were ap- proached in a@ respecttul manner, and mas- ter and man conversed upen the broad footing of repubhcan equality. The repre- sentatives of the men stated their and listened with respect to the employers’ side of the question. In this manner several of the larger establishments in the city were soon induced to come to terms. This broke down the soeaaen to the strike, and at present there are only six shops in the entire city in which the advanced schedule has not been accepted. In these shops there is not employed a single society man. The Council meets daily at 16 Spring stret and directs the movement. The members oi the committee assert that they have more places to fill than they have men to take them. They do not care whether the six shops sull proscribed ever accede to the demands of the society or not. The workmen (age on ladies’ shoes sent a notification to their employers more than two weeks that they would quit work on Monday las' remain out of the shops until they were paid a new schedule of rates almost equal to that obtained by the other branch of the Crispins, men were a8 as their word. The employers found themselves deserted, and, although their re~ sistance has. been ifanything more determined than that of the establisiments heretofore assaile there seems to be no question but that they wii have to surrender in asimilar manner. The fund of the society 1s ample, the workmen cool, sober and determined, and the number of good workmen limited. THE CARPENTWRS AND PAINTERS THREATENING, The carpenters and painters called meetings for last night, They are assatied by a common danger, and threaten to jume the defensive at the same identical moment, These branches of labor struck for and obtained a rebate of their worning ey to eight hours, with the same jay as before. With this order of things they were jppy and contented, and had decided to ~~ aloof from all the agitation of the Summer. Now, however, their employers threaten to require ten a work of a ae fee old + amped re ‘ne carpenters smd painters have becom and have determined apor a more tho: or. nization, This was (he object of the meetings, y of course, on the fence, and deliberate over the question ‘To strike or not to strike 1” Such are the various phases of the labor question ia New York.
