WILL ‘THE LAW BE ENFORCED ?” ne Hundred Thousand Germans in Harmonious Discord. “IQH HABE DEN CAPITAIN GESEHEN” ‘What will the Germans do to-day? They have ‘een denounced by the law,” said a reporter of ‘the HgkaLp to a well known German merchant in German club not more than half a‘mile trom Reservoir square, ‘The old, respectable Teuton smiled and drew a draught of smoke from his cigar. He then crossed his legs arranged his coat—he had just come in from @rive. This gentleman was a well kmewn citizen, a banker, and who had dealimgs with ali the great dnancial centres of the world—London, Paris, Frankfort and San Fran- cisco. After he had spoken a ‘ew moments in pri- vate conversation he said :— “The German people are an industrious people— I mean the majority of tnem. It is true that there ‘re many very wealthy Germans in New York, yet the majority are poor people. You Dave stated in the HERALD to-day that there are not more than 175,000 people of German birth in the city of New York. Well, there is not more than that number of Germans born in Ger- many, itistrue. But how many are there of Ger- Manic extraction *”” “This is very well; but what ts there to be said about the Sunday law *”’ I then asked. “The Sunday law isa humbug. It is not a law at all. How can alaw be a good one that will not permit the assemblage of decent people in their or- qinary resorts? During church hours in Germany and France the populations have no right to con- gregate, but late in the aiternoon it is almost im- pegs to convey to you, sir, the idea of the per- t liberty of the people. I have been aga boy in the kermesse, and } have been at the theatre and the opera. We at that time respected the Sunday, but on Sunday night we had our amusements. It is possible that we may differ in regard to the ob- Bervances of Sunday, yet I am certain that we must recognize one tuning, and that is the law. But What is the jaw? If you will have the kindness to visit any of our clubs or halls to-day you will find @ very orderly and decent class of citizens.” “And how do you account for the lawless spirit dispiayed in the publication of advertisements, to the effect that concerts and bails are to be held on this Sunday evening against the law?” “It 18 a Very prolific question that you have pro- pounded to me. I mean that it is prolific of debate. We cannot order everything opr own way; but the right of amuse- ment must conferred on our citizens, There are sO many poor Germans, 60,000 of them, | who have no amusement on auy other day in the week but Sunday, that it seems to me to be a very harsh measure to deprive them of their one day's of one evening’s amusement. I am not a Jew my. sell, but I have, I suppose, 100 Jewish friends, and three of them came to me and said that the regular Sunday eveung Sat could not be held at Irving Hall to-night. Now, | cannot understand such ap order as that. I have information direct that all the police captains who govern precincts in which German or Jewish balls are to be held will have money paid to them directly at the different sta- tion houses to-night to allow the different societies to es their concerts and their dancing balls alter- ward. “If this be true,” said the reporter of the HERALD, ‘‘now can you justify the proceedings of the Germans to-day ?” “I shail not attempt to justify them; they must have their own justification,” Lieft this enthusiastic German and visited all the different German places of amusement. It would seem that tth police orders had done nothing to affect them. In every amusement hall there was ® great crowd, and every proprietor of these halls insisted on showing me _ his ballroom. ll these ballrooms were alike. They bad smooth floors and chairs -around, and the ‘three colors of Germany displayed from the music Btand, which was generally at the upper end of each hall. There were numbers of young fellow: well dressed, and smoking wretched cigars, and there were wives and children apd their friends, who came to see the conflict wiich aid pot take place. At Germania Hall there ‘was a very decent assemblage of persons, both | male and femaie, who did not think for a moment what they were disobeying the law in listening to aconcert under the direction of the law. There Was a ball at the conclusion o1 the concert. At this place the Eighteenth Psalm was sung by a very good chorus, and to make the .elicities more sacred there was a waltz played from ‘Faust’ and also the overture trom the “Tannbiuser.” It was the same in every place visited by the writer. There ‘Was much conviviality, much good humor, mach order, but im every piace—Beethoven, Con- cordia, Turnhalle or Harmony Hall—there was the same disregard and utter defiance of law. The police, who were to make so many arrests yesterday, did nothing. They were, in fact, absent everywhere, excepting at the Atlantic Garden and the Stadt Theatre, at which piaces they seemed to be attending to their business. All over the city there was much excitement, but no difficulty, jor the Germans laughed at the law. The agents of the Sabbath Committee visited every place and they acted very discreetly. They took notes of every incident that happened, and at the Harmony Gardens and at the Tivolt Theatre | they counted the men who went in and out and the women who carried nosegays, In all that was done yesterday there was order among the Ger- mans, but the most utter disregard of law and the usages of the country in which they live and get their bread. Teutenta Hall. ‘This place is kept by Mr. Schneider, and when our reporter visited it last evening everything seemed to be in readiness to “go on with the dance.” The proprietor was absent at the time. His orders, however, were being carried out vy his son-in-law. On being questioned as to whether or not a ball was to take place last evening, he responded in the atfirmative, at the same time stating that “everything was ali right.’’ Our reporter requested information M the premises and desired to know the reason why he felt so sure that bo raid would be made by the police if the dancing programme Was carried out. ‘Oh, the Captain says it’s all right. I went around to see Unser Capitin, and he was not there. You see, he was married last week, and he was gone away on his wedding tour; but | saw the officer who acts in his ‘place, and he told me that it was all right and that there Would be no trouble, so that we will have our ball to-night.” The Tivoli Theatre. at the Tivoli, in Eighth street, near the Bowery, @ stage performance was given throughout the entire afternoon and evening, consisting ot sing- fing, juggling and acting. Between the acts the regular orchestra attached to the place performed Strauss’ waltzes and galops with as much zest and spirit as on week days. The auditorium re- mained continually crowded ; and one ot the most moticeable jeatures presented bad existence in the fact that not — 4 the maie population but even the female population turned out in large numbers. There were upwards of children present with their parents, and, in several instanced, seemed to enjoy the “beer” which was handed te them with a gusto becoming veteran beer drinkers, It appeared as if not a soul present was aware that there existed danger of the en- 100 young Jorcement of the Sunday Jaw. They chatted, drank, smoked and laughed in a@ manner which plainly indicated the fact that they were not yet prepared to accept the, as they considered it, arbitrary decision of the police authorities, Mr. Ral Aimeeif freely ow the subject, and, judging from the tenor of his ianenage nd the manner in which he gave expressiom to his ideas, was prepared to Gght in the courts apy intrusion which the authorities might make upon his prem- ines. in conversation with our reporter he stated that ue had not the least fear of being troubied. “Trou! what will they trouble me for ? I hawe nothing here but a quiet, orderly per- formance, and my mouaic is just as sacred as that ‘which you can bear m almost any private house. Ihave 4 little singing, but it is all operatic and periectly harmiess.” REPORTER—Why dO you think you will not be troubled? Mr. Fare—I don’t titink; I know. You see, my friend, the Sabbatarmn Commissioners are doing ell this, Idou’t blame them; if they can prevent it; but yon see I must keep open; this is my bread bDuteer, and if it comes to the ‘worst J am prepared to fo into Court with case.

In fact, there ap- peared to be more ladies present than gentlemen, Atlantic Garden. Although the performances given at this place are entirely of a musical order, the Garden was crowded last evening to the fullest extent. A ladies’ orchestra furnished the music, and were seated on the same elevated platform which they occupy every night during the week, The music was of a light order, combining song music with the more inspiriting music of the dance, Beethoven Club Roo: The rooms of the above-named club are situated on Fifth street, near the Bowery. The building is owned bv the club, and last evening the members of that association assembled in large numbers for the purpose of participating in a “carnivalistic jubilee.” The proprietor was interrogated by our reporter as to whether or not he feared interference on the part of the police. He immediately answered in the negative, and said that the public had no right to enter that building, as 1t was a private club room.

The downstairs billiard and drinking saloons were crowded, and no one seemed to care for the “Sunday laws,” The proprietor informed our reporter that “he also had seen the Captain,” and that it was all right; he would not be bothered. He furthermore stated that he was the lessee of the hall, not the owner, and that he merely sublet it to parties who desired its use; that he never got up any balis; that the *‘Eichenkranz” Society had ossession of the hall last evening, having leased t some time ago for the purpose of giving an operatic periormance, and that subsequent to the periormance dancing would be indulged in.

They had ali seen the Captain. Stadt Theatre. At this place of amusement, situated in the Bowery, directly opposite the Atlantic Garden, a “sacred” concert was given. A large audience assembled and remained throughout the entire performance, Mme. Lichtmay ana several gen- | tlemen singers assisted the orchestra in ren- dering the evening an enjoyable one. The best of order prevailed throughout, and the audience was composed entirely of & most respectable class of Germans. No hilarity whatever was observable, and everything passed of quietly and with de- corum, LAW AND ORDER IN NEWARK, Sunday Rum and Lager Entirely Stopped—No Rows and Very Few Ar- rests—The Germans on the Situation. Yesterday, the second Sunday under the Perry régime and the quiet enforcement of the State and municipal law forbidding the sale of liquor, lager, cigars, oysters, &c., on the seventh day, passed off in Newark with even more quietness and good order than last Sunday, and that was the freest from unseemly rows or disturbances known in Many years. Not a saloon in the city kept open in front, though a few were reported as having side doors ajar. AS a consequence only one or two arrests tor disorderly conduct were made all day ina population approaching 130,000 inhabitants. One or two persons were observed during the day vainly endeavoring to walk a chalk line on the sidewalks, but the disturbance of their equilibrium is believed to have been caused by pocket pistol practice, the pistols being primed on Saturday night. Tne manner in waich the German popula- tion have yielded up their Sanday enjoyments Witnout the slightest obstinacy or expressed dis- satisfaction lurhishes the fullest proof of their law- abiding qualities and is a severe rebuke to those KNOW NOTHING DEMAGOGUES who are wont to “damn the Dutch” and denounce them as nothing better than a lager-swiliing nationality, Lust evening @ HERALD reporter | called on a few leading German saloon keepers, and learned from them that, while it ta probable that some measure in their behali will be adopted at an | early day to obtain a modification of the law no ac- ton had yet been taken, There are two proposi- tions under consideration. One is to apply to the Legislature tor a repeal of the State law, andthe otner to apply to the Common Council for a modification of the municipal ordinance so as to allow the saloons to keep open side doors at hours other than chureh ones. The latter propos sition finds most favor among the saloon keepers, What the Council would do with it is dimict foretell. Meanwhile there is much anxiety among saloon keepers to kuow what the Grand Jury willdo with violators. The better class severely condemn the defiant action of Frederick Waldmann Jast | Sunday and Fraueunsfilde, the theatrical manager, who is charged with sacrilege. PITTSBUPG FACTORIES RESUMING WORK. PITTSBURG, Jan, 18, 1874, ‘The glass manufacture of Pittsburg, which has been paralyzed to a greater degree by the recent panic than almost any other branch of industry, is Tapidiy reviving. On to-morrow night the very large f_int glass manufactory of Plunkett & Co. in South Pittsburg will apply the matcn to their fur- naces, and their work will thenceforward go on again as before. This establishment has ten melting pots and employs 160 men, and 18 con™ sidered one of the largest of the kind in the country There are also indicatious of compromise be- tween the window giass manufacturers and tneir emplovés, the latter having been on a strike against a proposed reduction of their wages ever since last July. ‘here are eighteen of these manu- factories, employing when in operation upwards of 1,200 men. Upon investigation it was found that the wages of all employés of this branch of business here were so greatly in excess of those paid for the same work in New Jersey, New York State and Baltimore—the other large glass manulacturing centres—that it isa matter of wonder that it has been possible to continue business here at all. But how the Workmen manitest a disposition to submit to the terms proposed by the‘ manutac- turers, and the resumption of window glass mak- ing is a question of but a lew weeks at furthest, The unfortunate men who have been engaged in this strike have been reduced to such a strait as | to make the renewal of operations on their part imperative. One hundred and twenty-five doliars amonth wages was ridiculed by them some montis ago, but will now ve accepted. “THE TREASURY BOND ROBBERS.

WILKESBARRE, Pa., Jan. 18, 1874. At ameeting of the miners held in Weiss Hall yesterday afternoon to effect an organization as a ‘branch of the National Association of Miners, the following address, prepared by Mr. James O’Hal- Yaron, was read :— ba 2 Ryd Muses anv Lasoners THRovGHoUT Tux UniTeD rATRS = Futiow Wouxwxn—It gives us pleasure to announce that the organized miners throughout the United States have at length been aroused to a sense of their duty and thelr danger; have, through their duty authorized and elected delegates, met in national couneil and formed an organization which seeks to embrace within its folds every miner and every miner’s laborer in the country, and Which guarantees and which can secure to Its mem: bers, alike in the day of prosperity and adversity, that justice which they have in the past been denied. necessity for such an association has been experienced and advocated for years, as the history of the past has been two often 4 SYSTEM OF TYRANNY, strikes and defeats, imposed because of our isolated con- dition. While state and district unions have no doubt accomplished a great deal of good, it stands to reason that where a bond ot union’ or concert of ac- tion is lackt) their benefits and operations must be limi m character. As a district union can accomplish more than a single union, so can a national union, embracing every:miners’ organization in the land, accomplish more than the eflorts of a single State. For years the miners have been crushed and deteated in detail, nowmatter how just their demands or how gallant or prol ed their résistance. Although coal mining is comparatively in its intancy in this country, ore odious and tyrannical than those im, miners ot the Old World practised in our oWn, and unless ways and means are taken to secure and enforce our righis while they may be secured, it requires no prophet to foretell that in a few years Our condition will be more HOPELKSS AND DEGRADED than that of the veriest slave. It is to prevent these evils that the present Convention has been held and its con- stitution framed, a copy of which we hope soon to pre- sent to every local lodge or branch in the country. It is liberal, catholic end comprehensive in its policy, recog- nizing the rights and legislating for the benefit of every n.iner, no matter whether he toils in the mountains of Pennsylvania or Maryland, in the valleys of Ohio or the prairies of the West. And now. ellow workmen, that we have tried to do our duty we have @ right to expect you to do yours. Many hands make light work. If the officers or the as- sociation are sustained, as we hope they will be, if every member works as though the success of the or- ganization depended on his exertions the Miners’ Na- Uonal Associaton will soon occupy, both numerically and financially, THE HIGHEST POSITION 4 in the ranks of labor organizations. To our non-union miners we have ouly words of kindness and encourage- ment. Feliow.worxmen, whether you realize the fact or not, 3 js sing away, To-day thé Workingmen 8, by co-operative effort, by a union of hearts and hands, by intelligent concerted action, can lay the base of an organizatton founded on truth 4nd justice, having for its objects the securing to the toiler the Iruits of his labor, which can and will se- cure to you your God-given rights, and also the perpetua. tion of republican institutions; but, if much ienger neglected, if the merciless demands of soulless corpora tions are much longer comphed with, if you neglect your imperative duty to assist, by every Means within your power, to hold up the hands of those who are struggling to secure you the: INESTIMABLE PRIVILEGES, you will remain, as you deserve to do, “hewers of wood and drawers of water.” You can certainly urge no valid reason why you stand aloot in this emergency. Our interests are your interests; your welfare is our own; your Wives and families are ‘certainly as dear to ‘ou as ours can be to Us. Selt-protection is nature's first law. Necessity has organized every trade or labor asvo- ciation in the United States, and this necessity will re- main so long as capital reaps what labor has sown. We are willing to let bygones be bygones, Let the dead bury their dead. Live for the future, and resolve, Goa helping you, that you will_ contribute’ your share to the emancipation of iabor. But this can only be accom- plished by pulling together, by acting in harmony. No Teligious, political or nationalistic test fs required. These are questions entirely foreign to our organizations, tis purely PROTECTIVE AND DEFENSIVE in ité character, willing to yield to capital its just re- wards, while it awards to its creator, “labor,” “its just equiyalent. To our colored brethren ‘we also extend a cordial invitation. We recognize but two classes—the men who labor and the men who live off the proceeds of others’ labor, the robber and the robbed, no matter what the ' col e are willing to ‘take you by the hand fellow toilers, entitled to the same privileges and benefits which we claim for ourselves, asking only in return an honest, hearty ana undivided support of our principles and organiza- tion. Like us, your labor is your capital, and it is self- evident that you cannot afford to be made the instru- ments in the hands of corrupt and designing men to de- preciate the labor of the white mechanic. Ask your- selves whether you have more to expect from allying Jeurselves with the Miners’ National Organization of ing the tools of those who have robbed and oppressed. your own kith and kin, and who to-day are engaged in the damnable work of IMPORTING CHINESE LABOR to supplant the colored workmen of the South, Think ‘on this subject for an hour and we have no tear of ihe result. In conclusion, we trust that our labors have not been in vain; that the miners of the United States will rally as one man under the banner of the National Awo- ciation, whose object, in the language of the constitu. tion, Is'to secure their social, intellectual and physical improvement. This isa platform broad enough for all to stand on, Defence, not deflance, is our motto. Our objects are known and we confidently leave the issue in-your bands. The Blossburg Miners and Their Propo. sitions. 4 Biosspure, Pa., Jan. 18, 1874, [ The following is the address.of the miners of the bituminous coal region of Tioga ¢ounty to their employers for a settlement of the differences ex- isting between them :— THE PROPOSITIONS FOR PEACE. First—The companies are to withdraw their refusal to permit: members of the “Miners and Laborers) Benevo- jent Association” to work in their collieries, and offer | no further obstruction to the organization by refusing them a place to meet, or by bringing force or threats of discharge or other disadvantage to bear to | prevent any person from joming it. And they are to do this, not as a concession, gratuity or favor, but i act of justice, and an explicit agreement ¢ workmen so to organize is unques- and any interference on | the part of the employers is a legal and moral wrong. | — Second—The companies are to agree that no man shall be discharged or disady: ed in his employment by reason of anything he jawially done in promoting the organization of his fellow workinen. Third—On behall of the workmen's organization and the. members therec is agreed, and — they hold themselves individually and collectively bound to maintain, that they have no might to and will not force the inclinatjon of any man in the matter of joining the union; and’ that all sich persons. as now are ‘or may hereafter be working in the collieries shall b treated in all respects as to freedom in the work, a though they were members, or there had never been a union proposed. Fourth—On behalf of the workmen it is hereby de- clared, as an expression of their opinion and purposes, that tiie fight of our employers to control their property aud business, Within the letter and true meaning of their charters is'as unquestionable as ours is to form our union; and that any act or acts on our part that obstract | the justand lawtul exercise of those rights should be held to be and punished as ACTS OF consPInacy. Fifth—-On the part of both parties to this agreement all complaints, grievances and disagreements ot the time that 1s past are to be treated as though they had not been made or occurred. And it being the object of our organ- ization to secure the practice of strict and impartial jus tice between our employers and ourselves. it shall be that the right o1 tionable, legal, Sizth—Agreed, that upon the occurrence at any. time in the ‘future of any cause of complai the person so aggrieved shall apply first to the officer or employe of the company having that department of the business in charge who is im- | mediately over him. If he should fail to obtain re- dress there, he shall next state his complaint to the h he belongs, who shall, un- ization, make careful and im- inquiry asto the reasonableness of the complaint it be found to be trivial or unfounded in right, they shall require him to return to his work and with: draw his complaint, or leave the work quietly jor some one else to do. a But should they find it well founded in right, and of such nature as ought to be redressed, they shail bring it to the attention of the Superintendent (or agent), whose duty it shal! be to give them a fair hearing and see that what Is right and just in the premises is done. Should these he unable to agree, they shall select some disinter- ested person in whom both sides can trust that justice would be done, and submit the matter to his arbitra. ment, both parties being bound by his decision. Should the two parties, however, be unable to agree upon one arbitration, they shall each select one. and these two sele das umpire, which three shail be a boar of arbitrator, whose decision, by a majority yote, shall be conclusive and binding on both parties, INDEPENDENT RIGHTS. Serenth—This system or principle of arpitration shall be applied to all matters of dispute or disagreement, that utay arise or now exist, wh between individual workmen and the several companies, or netween the whole body or partof the workmen and said several com- panies, except the right of said workmen to organize such lawful associations as they see fit, this being @ na- tural aswell as legal right, which they cannot permit to be called in question. In making this proposition to our employers we feel fully how great the change is that it will make in the relations heretotore existing between us. Should it be adopted, the companies will no longer be as well the political sovereigns of the town ships we inhabit as the owners of the lands com. prised within their borders. equitable adjustment | of differences that the practice of arbitration will briny about willenfranchise ali the citizens of these mining ut r opening of high f taxes, inquisition position nia ey by the audits, and thereof required by the State laws, the release tants from. the m_of ‘the present régime, whieh, by indirection, but most. effect. | ive forces * all 1 ‘at te stores of the ‘companies, and deprives the workman his family ot their inalienable gal right. to use their earnings for the promotion. of their own good, in aecordance with their own judement A mm arbitra: actions that deprive them of e 1 free deal nseives elect, . licensed pediers gr any other lawtul deal: inclined to seek their trade: in short, put r the protection, In every respect, of thee stitution and laws of the State and nation they and remove forever the disgraceful anomaly ence in republican America ot little isol ies,” as singular in their characteristics from the tree communities around them, and as arbitrarily and abso- lutely governed, and as irresponsibly too. as were the paltry and despotte little sovercignties of a few years ago in Germany and It. We are also fully aware that our claim to and demana for these reforms has and -will again be met with the as sertion that the land we live on and the business of our employers, every house and pig-pen, every stick and board of every fence in our townships, and every road that leads through them, belong to them, and that we are simply tenants at will, to be removed at pleas ure, and that our only right in the premises, if'we do not like the rule we live under, 1s to leave our homes here and seek new ones elsewhere beyond their jurisdiction. To this we answer we were invited to come wo these places for the employment we sought. Im the far off countries many of us came from we had heard of the Just and beneficent mstituutons of free Ainerieay abd, impelled by this double and enticing invitation, wé sought our homes here. And here we have lived, many of ws for long terms of years: here we have reared our familles; here we have gathered abont us our social re Jations—all those rel aml surroundings whose value cannot be measured in dollars, but which are to the worker, whose WEALTH AND CAPITAL ARE IN HIS «INEWS, quite as valuable, quite as indispensable to his intellectual and moral wellbeing a8 their similar relations are to those who own these ands and who enjoy their pros.

It is not conceivable that it was intended that they should have the power, im addition to their railroad an mining privileges, to build up in their towns a monopoly the necessaries of lite ; in the use or ownership of the roads and streets by which the people must pass from place to place ; in the determination of the question, from whom and what shail the people buy, and where ; in the determination ‘bitrarily of the amount ot wages they shail pay, and the times and conditions at and upon which they shall be paid; in the issuance of store script and checks that, while it 1s ostensibly and professedly only to (be regarded as a convenience in, Keeping ac- counts, is by ingenious and avaricious exactions and con- trivance made to be the principal currency ufed and circulated in the mining towns and the region around them, upon which innocent and involuntary holders must’ and do suffer discount.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. An Extensive Inspection of the Availa- ble Navy To Be Made—Discharges of Workmen. PortsMourTH, Va., Jan. 18, 1874. Naval Constructor John W. Easby will leave the Navy Yard on Monday, acting under order from the department at Washington, for the inspection of the. different naval stations South, and will be absent about one month, when he will return to resume his duties at this yard. Assistant Con- structor George R. Boash will have charge of the department during his absence. Mr. Easby is ordered to proceed first to Key West without de- lay, reporting to tne senior officer in command, and to examine the steamer Despatch with a view of ascertaining the improvements necessary on that vessel and to do away with the freight room and make the quarters of the officers cdmfortable, reporting the same to the bureau, that the proper orders may be given for the shipment of the material needed to make the alterations. Mr. Easby Will then proceed to examine the frigate Wabash and report as to the amount of calking that will be required to put that ship in geod con- dition for a year’s cruise; also to examine the IRON-CLADS and inform the bureau what action should be taken by the divers towards cleaning -their bottoms, re- porting, in this connection, the proper means for doing the same. Having completed the duty named at Key West, Mr. Easby is ordered to pro- ceed to the Pensacola Navy Yard, reporting to the commandant, and, after making the neces- sary eXamination, report to the bureau his views as to the most economical way of hauling up monitor vessels at that yard for preservation, so that they can be launched and sent to sea in a few days, aud also to submit his views as to the importance or that yard, stating .. WHAT FACILITIES MAY BE NEEDED * to render it useful as a yard for repairing vessels. On completing this duty he is further ordered to proceed to New Orleans and examine the monitor Vessels on that station, reporting to the bureau whether, in his opinion, any of these can be re- paired or what use can be made of them; if, in his opinion, such monitors can be made serviceable ; to report what private company in New Orleans has the yard and other facilities for making such repairs to them as may be required and at what cost. He is also instructed to ascertain and report whether there is at that station a suit- able place for laying up monitors and other iron- clads, from which they could be taken at short notice and sent to sea. The department strictly order Mr. Easby to make these observations ag caretully a8 possible, as IMPORTANT ACTION MAY BE TAKEN by the department upon his judgment in the premises. When about to leave New Orleans Mr. Easby is directed to inform the department, as it may necessary for him to inspect other points while en route home. Another discharge of hands from the various workshops will take place to- night, and the same will be repeated some time next week. The orders are to gradually reduce the working force of the yard until the number of employés is within the scope of the appropriation, The Ossipee at Norfolk. FORTRESS MONROE, Jan. 18, 1874. The Unitea States steamer Ossipee, from Wash- ington, passed up to Norfolk this morning. The Wyoming at Aspinwall. ASPINWALL, N. G., Jan. 9, 1874. The United States steamer Wyoming arrived here on the ist inst. from Key West, LIVELY TIMES IN ERIE, Raid Upon Dishenest Employes—Two Months in the County Jail—Detectives After the Bosses. . For many years a large number of persons re- siding near the line of the Erie Railway, in Jersey City and elsewhere, have, to use the expression of one of the railroad officials, “lived off the road;” in other words they helped themselves without per- mission to coal, wood and other articles, Here- tofore no effort was made, strange to say, to pro- tect the company against such losses. Mr. Watson, previous to his departure for Europe, enjoined Mr. Thomas J. Brown, superintendent of the Pavonia ferry, to organize a staff of detectives. Ina short time all kinds ot petty frauds were detected. Pots of paint were carried away from the workshops by emp!loy¢s—doors, windows and furniture of cars undergoing repair were appropriated, A test case was brought before the Grand Jury, and Joseph C. Gilbert, @ foreman in the repair shop at Jersey City, was indicted and brought to trial, as well as his fatner and John Gray. ‘The evidence disclosed the astounding fact that Gilbert bailt his house mainly out of stealings irom the repair shops, He helped himself to black walnut sufficient to make a counter. The evidence was con- clusive and he was convicted. The father and Gray thereupon pleaded guilty, and the three were sentenced tu two months each in the County Jail and a fine of ¢100. One of the detectives in the case reported yesterday that several arrests for similar offences will be made within a few Cate It has been ascertained that the most flavrant in- stances of these theits attach to bosses and fore-- men. Anotner pernicious system which is being inves- tigated is the percentage custom, the only tenure by which poor men can hold their position in several instances. If @ man fails to “come down” on pay day to the boss it wil be the easiest thing imaginable to get rid of him under some pretext. By this method good men are discharged and incompetent or unfaithful men kept in service. A case was brought a few days ago to the attention of Super- intendent Hili which admits of this interpreta- tion, Many months ago @ case came under the notice of the HERALD reporter, and the poor man who “blowed” on his boss was discharged. Since that time, however, the boss himself has been dis- From all the developments it appears that some of the bosses not two miles distant from the ferry must be closely watched. A TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE. CHICAGO, Jan. 18, 1874. Aspecial despatch from Grand Rapids, Mich., says @ report is current there,that while a party of peo- ple were skating on the river at Burr Oak, on the Michigan Southern Railroad, one person broke through, and the rest of the party, some twenty- seven or twenty-eight in number, going to the res- cue, all broke through and were drowned. The re- rt, however, lacks c ‘and no partica- are given, SING SING Orange County Convict Pelegates to the State Prison—Wno Vney Were and Why They Went. Vewsura, Jan 17, 1874, ‘The January term of Vie Orange county Oyer and ‘Terminer closed at Go9’en yesterday. Four prisonu- ers were sentenced 4o imprisonment at Sing Sing, ‘and this morning Yney passed through this city on the way to that’ place. Thomas Y. Conkling, col- ored, of Mid@etown, who pleaded guilty to two indictments (or robbery and the attempted murder of Mr. Wood, near Goshen, @ few weeks ago, and was sentenced to twenty years’ imprison- ment—ten on each indictment, Charles Green, alias Charles Taylor, convicted of burglary, was sentenced for four years. Charles Spencer, alias Robert Lee, ailas James Snyder, was convicted of stealing a horse and Wagon from Beede & Van Duzer, Newburg, livery- men, and got a three and a half year’s sentence, He attempted to escape from the Goshen Jail yes- terday, and when detected attacked the turnkey with a club, but was overpowered and handcuffed, While through this city to-day he loudly proclaimed his intention to steal another horse as soon as he should be released from prison. He isa hardened criminal. ‘The fourth convict Was Sarah Jackson, the sanc- tmonious servant girl who robbed «the house of Mr. James Fullager, in this city, of $500 worth of valuables recently, as stated in the HERALD of Monday last. Sarah was sentencea to imprison- ment jor one year. Abram Graham was implicated in her first confession, but she made another, in which she charged another man with aiding her in the robbery. ‘I'his than proved an alibi, and as the second confession neutralized the first Graham was discharged. THE HOBOKEN SAVINGS BANK, After a protracted suspension of payment the above named institution will open its doors to- day, with the permission of the Chancellor, for the Payment of one-fifth of the deposits to every de- positor, Passbooks from No. 1 to 1,000, and none others, will be taken to-day. As there are not many books of such numbers outstanding the rush wil not be so great as otherwise. But it 1s far from probable that the depositors will leave their money there when they get a chance of withdraw- ing it. ‘The ridiculous security of $20,000 given b; the new secretary not yet been increased. ‘The safety Of $250,000 is guaranteed by security to the extent of only $20, and this, coupled with the fact that not one of the old directors has yet resigned, produces general uneasiness. The Rev. Mr. Dod is doing his utmost to restore contidence, vul with what success remains uncertain. HAVANA MARKET, Havawa, Jan. 17, 1574.
