The demonstration of the wcrkmen OF the Cen
tral Park ard the Reservoir, described by our re-
porters yesterday, was a remarkable expression of
the universally of the interest pervadDg all classes
of society in the event of the dsy. 1t would seem
to have been as thoroughly spontaneous as it was
unique, enthusiastic and welordered. Three
thousand men dropped their spades and hammers,
and without stopping to put their coats, or wash
their bands, TO change, in the slightest the usual
organization contrived for the ordering of their
labor, fled off in divisions and companies, with
scarcely less order and in much less time, 81 il
would ordinarily take TO arrange and get uuder line
Of march, regiment of militia. The FIVE miles
distance to the City Hall was msrched over in less
than TIVE hours, and the Mayor himself was taken
by surprise to find small army suddenly appear
irg before his Office, and offering him the simple
congratulations Of men who cultivate other flowers
than those of rhetori: Whether they were glad
because, as Mr. President Green told them,
the telegraph would operate to avert those sud.
den periodical shocks which paralyze trade and
manufactures, and which bear more heavily
on The laborug than any other cla.s or whether
their JOY lay simply in the faith that all great events
in the history of mankind are marks and evidences
Of the general law Of the improvement and progress
in happiness Of mankind We will not inquire. 1t 10
enough that in the midst Of year which TO the
labOriDg classes is one of unparalleled adversely,
the FIRST demonstration Of any magnitude Of the
satisfaction which oil classes feel sho1ld have pro.
ceeded so spontaneously from body of men who
might be supposed to be lest interested and lesst
capable of sppreciating the cause Of the general
excitement. 1t is enough, We say, TO be gravely
considered as phenomenon OF the times, partcu-
larry if We contrast j. with the sorry attempts
made By dsmsgoeues last Wnter to organize the
s.me class for . miscbeyous purpose, under the
banners Of Necessity Knows No Law" and
Bread or Blood. However It j. 70 be explained,
those who have faith in humanity could have con-
