Batesvills Democrao Convention.

We publish this week the proceedings of
the Batesville democratic convention. 1t viii
be seen by the proceedings that Col. I. G.
Hindman, of Phillips county, got the nom
ination for congress on the first ballot by an
unusual large majority Indeed the people
throughout the district in their primary meet
ings, had given an expression in his favor al
most unanimously. Wien we first heard
that Col. A. NJ Wilson was candidate for
the nomination, we expressed a preference
for him, not that we were opposed to Col.
Hindman, but because Mr. Wilson was our
neighbor, and we knew him to be good de-
mocrat and a clever gentleman, and we
thought would make an efficient aud able re-
preventative, and every way acceptable to
this portion Of the State. But the democ-
racy of the district, and in fact in our own
county, has expressed in favor of Hjndman
by majofities unprecedented almost in the
history Of conventional nominations To- this
expression we have no objection, AM will
cheerfuliy support Col. HindmaH's nomina
ton, believing a. we do, that he will make
an able and industrious representative, and
who may be relied upon to represent the in
terests Of the entire district, and that he will
not sacrifice his friends to buy off his enemies.
Although we expressed our preference for
Mr.. Wilson. we are not sorry that Hindman
has obtained the nomination, and will sup
port him with good will, and whatever We
can do to promote his election. But it is
useless to talk about aiding him in his cleo
ton, because we do not suppose he will have
opposition, and if he does, it will not amount
to anything. There is no man IN the district
with more popularity than Hindman with the
democracy, or who could beat him without
nomination, and even with it, it is worse than
useless to attempt to do SO. We therefore
regard IIindman as good as elected to con
gress from this district

Tie Se1riHg ITomea OF New York.-The
New York Express draws the following mel
ancholy picture Of the sewing women Of that
city:
The number of women in this citv who
support themselves by tie needle IS estimated
at from thirty to forty thousand. OF these
about thirteen Thousand are shirt-makers,
eleven thousand tsi.Orcsscs and vest makers,
forty-four hundred maHta and cloak makers,
fifteen hundred dress makers, as many miI!in-
srs, the remainder box makers and those en-
ployed in various kinds Of light work. OF
this immense army, Uot three thousand bave
been employed the last winter One estab-
lishment discharged during the financial pres
sure last fall one thousand hsuds in one week,
and another eight hundred. Tue miserable
pittsuee OF wages which the greater part of
this class can sarn in ordinary times, forbids
even the hope OF any provision for the future.
The average wages Of shirt makers do not ex-
ceed twenty five cents a day, though good
sewers and tailoresSss ana shirt makers often
get fifty and sometimes seyenty-fve cents.
When il is Tememb bsred that thousand Of
the shirts with linen bosoms, are made out Of
the city, at twsuty cents piece, for whole
~, II 10 easy to see why foinaIe wages are
@besa starvation points. When any gar
- that will hold together, is.rnade for four,
" and six cents, Lamentations for needle wo
6sn as class, in consequence of the intro
sduction of sewing machines, sound strangely
indeed This boon among inventions has al
ready cut of the supply OF work in this city
quite one-half-while no corresponding gain
IN new occupations has taken place, or seems
likely to Immediately. Those who have grown
rich at the expense Of the needle women, but
follow the uatura! laws OF trade, and could
not be expaciel TO be ph.anthropic to their
own destruction.
No statement OF the condition OF woman is
complete, onlitting the fAct-saddest of all
that every year adds, st least six thousand
souls TO the wrecked, the lost. Hundreds are
perishing, because no way of earning an hon
est livelihood IS opened to them, when they
work. lis sine, certainly, that questions in
volyiDg interests SO sacred and vast should be
10 longer wholly ignored OF :ippantly dispos-
ed OF.

suitable to the market. We invite the per-
usal Of our readers TO our advertising columns,

with good and well conducted tin and sheet
