Lahor I'm Dtstreae.

The sewing machines have thrown large
body Of iourneymen tailors, in Philadelphia,
out of employment. Many Of theseare un-
skillful workmen, who have heretofore been
employed ON coarse fabrics, and who, by
working Is hours out Of every "a, have
been able to procure bare subsistence
The sewing machine now comes in and robs
them Of even that pittance. II can do the
work much faster, eats nothing, drinks
nothing, and occupies very little room. VI
course the journeymen are unable to COM
pete with it, and are, necessarily, driven to
the wall. The same cry of distress salute
our ears from all parts of the country
And yet, strange rs it may seem, the very
men who are now loudest in their COM
plants of scarcity of work, have uniformly
and persistently voted against every PROPOSE
ton tu protect home industry. Dazzled and
blinded by the glare of Democracy, they
have winked at all the excesses committed
in its name They have helped to rear the
huge fabric that is now grinding them in the
dust. With loud shouts they have rolled OH
the Juggcrnaut that is crushing them be-
meath its wheels. Demonstrations of dis
tress afford little relief, and "processions OF
hungry men" bring no bread. How much
more reasonable would it be for these men
to take the matter in hand in way that
will profit them something. Vote an Adj
ministration out of power that will ezpend
millions in building marble palaces for a few
political nabobs, while the sinews of the
country are becoming weak for lack of food
Let the mesmeric hand of the people b,
laid upon the despotism, and its extrava
gance will cease.

The Atlantic Telegraph, and Cotton
Trade.

Much of the Gotten shipped from the South
is now sold in New York, and in the Eng
lish and continental markets, by sample,
while the cotton is in transitu on the ocean;
and sometimes before it leaves the port of
export. The samples are forwarded with
bills of lading by express and steamships,
and are often displayed upon the tables oil
the New York and European factors, before
the ship with the cotton on board has fairly
got to sea. When the sale is made in the
foreign market, the samples and bills OF
lading are transferred to the purchaser, who
receives the cotton from the ship on its ar
rival. Spectators operate in this way, and
sometimes shipment of cotton is bought
and sold several times while it is upon the
ocean. This course of business has been
found to work well for four or five years,
and has been increasing.
IL is supposed that the Atlantic Telegraph
will give it new facilities, and rapidly null
tiply such operations. The New Workers
dlS ti4eAHeNA'N" ''NNA 49,
the principal sales Of cotton may be trans
ferred from New Orleans and Charleston to
that market, and the product of the South
be sold there by sample, though but small
quantity of it might ever enter the poit.-
BY strict and uniform classi6cations of quail
tiles, an English manufacturer could send
his orders for cotton to New York, and have
his pick from all the cargoes afiOat on the
ocean, from the samples on the New York
Brokers tables; and from the dates of the
sailing of the ship, he could calculate the
time when he might expect to receive his
cotton. The arrangement makes important
savings and interest; and the change in the
course of trade which it is likely to inau-
gurate, will tend more than any cause to
make New York the center of exchanges OF
the world, and overthrow the financial su-
premacy of London. If cotton be king in
commerce, and its whole power can be cen
tered in New York, she will rule the world
of trade and finance, by gaining the contro
of the monarch.

A DOUBLE MURDERER.-A family named
Reeves, living in Goshen, Orange county,
New York, were temporarily absent on the
evening of the l4th inst, leaving their house
in charge Of three servants, named Wm.
Saunders, Peter Shorech and Margaret
Shealy. II seems that Peter and Margaret
were to be married next week, and they had
been passing the evening together, in the
room of the latter. At about o'clock
just as he was leaving Margaret's room,
Peter was met at the door by William, who
deliberately and without word passing be-
tween either, shot him directly through the
right nipple. Peter, turning back, opened
the door through which he had just passed
and tell dead across the Threshold.
The murderer then rushing into the room
over the dead body of his first victim, sho,
Margaret through the left breast, the ball
passing out behind, just below the shoulder
blade. She turned, and jumping out Of the
window to the ground, some twenty feet oil
more managed to crawl through the garden
and orchard, nearly quarter of mile, to
the house of a neighbor. The girls wound
is supposed to be mortal. The murdereI
fled, but was pursued by large number o
citizens and will be taken.

The Next Kansas Constitution.

1t is more than probable that at the very
next session of Congress, early In 1899,
Kansas will demand admission into the I Mon
with a Constitution duly framed by her del
egates and duly accepted by her people
This demand viii be based upon the most
powerful considerations. The Constitution
of the new State will be a Constitution
framed according to the three popular deci-
sions of the the Territory in favor of such
Constitution. IL will represent as great,
if not greater population than the instru-
ment under which Congress sought to force
her into the Union. And, finally, it will be
the only Constitution that has been at the
same time legally framed and sanctioned by
the popular vote. The question recurs,
Shall Kansas, thus asking TO come into the
Union, be admitted? or shall she be refused
admission. and kept out of the Union, to te
made the football of faction, and to stir the
bitter waters of fanaticism to their deepest
depths? This is the question now being
asked by intelligent citizens in every part
OF the country.
The Washington Union SAYS no; but the
President has yet to give his sanction to
this, the latest despolism of his reputed or
gan. Wiz the President decide against The
people Of Kansas IN their formal, GuthOritd-
tee, and solemn appeal for admission INTO The
Union, on the fundamental pledge, the cove
nant of 1856, that they should be "perfect-
ly free to manage their own affairs in their
own way ?'-Phitadeiphid Press.
If Mr.. Buchanan gives his implied sane
tion to the declarations of the Union,
- II \
ton supporters, will be forced to uphold
"this latest despotiSm of the repudiated or
gan" and refuse to admit Kansas till she
has representative quota Of population.

EXECUTIVE SCHENIyG.-The Indianapolis
Journal has had the perusal of a letter from
a responsible and well informed source at
Washington, that says that during tie
months of June and July, Cabinet meetings
were held at.unusual times, and with unusual
frequency, the object being, to raise means
to carry Lecompton in the Kansas election
of August I'd. All other sources of secret
service money being exhausted, a tax was
levied on all the government officials at
Washington City, of one-quarter TO one
half per cent, on their salaries-the pro-
ceeds being used to carry out the schemes
OF the President. The writer further stated
that the whole force Of the Administration
is now being expended in the Illinois con-
test, and that the avowed determination of
Mr.. Buchanan is 10 crush Senator Douglas,
even though a Republican must he elected
to consummate that end. And this deadly
hostility to Mr. Douglas return to the
United States Senate is understood 10 be
because ii that takes place he will inevitably
be the nominee of the Charleston COnven-
tion in 1860. The President makes no
! ooncealment of his hatred of Douglas and
of his resolution to crush him out, if the
whole machinery of the government can do
| it. The gentleman also said that the Presi-
dent used the whole of his personal and off,
cial influence 10 insure the confirmation OF
Bright and Fitch in their scoundrel's seats
in the United States Senate and that the
appointment of Governor Wright was with
held from that body with the distinct un-
derstanding among the faithful that if Bright
and Fitch were ousted from the Senate,
Wright should be recalled, and one of them
(as Bright should decide should he Minis

The Test of Lecompton Democracy.

Inc lest Oi LecOmptoh democracy.
The Philadelphia Press, in commenting
upon Mr. Buchanan's new Democratic test
which is the touchstone by which he tries
every aSpirant for Executive favors, says:
As this great discovery is about coming
into universal use throughout the Uuion
and threatens entirely to revolutionize Amer
lean politics, il is important that we should
fully understand its character. BY test
we are enabled to distinguish between the
false and the true, tue bad and the
good, the genuine and the counterfeit. By
tests the chemist ascertains the presence of
arsenic, the purity of metals, the ingredients
of any articles which may be presented to
him. The new invention gives TO the po-
litical world mode of determining, sum-
marily, and certainly, mooted questions of
orthodoxy. Devotion to Lecompton is the
test All who are prepared to advocate the
enforcement of Constitution upon a people
against their will are Democrats-those who
do not consent to this doctrine are by that
refusal shown to be beyond the pale OF the
party. The distinction is a plain and
marked one. Like all great inventions, this
test is perfectly direct in its operation. 1t
Is true that men who in the simplicity of
their hearts, have supposed they were Dem
ocrats, and who have been weak enough to
think that the rule of the people and popu-
lar sovereignty were the very corner stones
of the temple in which their lifelong politi-
cal worship has been rendered, may be
somewhat astonished by this discovery; but
what of that Old ideas and prejudiccs
must give way to modern science and who
will dare to gainsay the high authorities by
which the new patent is endorsed.

ESy| We have been very modest in the
notice of our celebration of "the great eUent
of the age" for we have felt some chagrin
in regard TO it since reading the accounts of
the spirited Qualifications in almost every
small town in the country. At Vincenncs,
the Gazette says, the city council couldn't
find it in their hearts to make much of an
appropriation, to help out the celebration,
but every citizen went into it 'on their own
hook" and the result was brilliant success.
There was general illumination of all the
principal buildings and residences in the
city. The Beeler House made the most
glorious display. If the building had burn
ed up totally, it could hardly have made a
ruUrr urIrIIant light. Every window from
cellar to cupola was crowded with lights,
ire-balls were flung through the air in all
directions, torpedoes, sky-rockets and bal
looms went up heavenward thick and fast,
presenting the most beautiful and striking
feature of the illumination.
Great crowds went up to admire the taste
displayed in the illumination of the eating
house, railroad and telegraph offices, which
seemed to be the centre of attraction up
town. The finest view on Main street was
the row Of stores from Second down to, and
including, the ST. Charles Saloon.
The great event was celebrated at Prince
ton, by grand illumination of the build
ings around the public square, and the Court
House, by the ringing of bells, by bonGrcs,
sky-rockets, and by several very eloquent
speeches by some of her citizens, and by a
series of appropriate resolutions, the whole
affair doing great credit to the citizens OF
that hourishing little town.
