LATEST BY TELEGRAPH
Union Meeting.

ROCHESTER,, December ga large Unior
Meeting was held in this city last evening
which was addressed by james Brooks and
Ex-Governor Hunt. The resolutions adopted
were of rather o mixed character, but the
principal one is the following:
Resolued, That we can not too strongly re-
buke the sentiment that the election of Pres
idsnt, by constitutional majority having
views Of public policy with which the mi
nority do not concide, would furnish just
cause for dissolution Of the Union. We, on
the contrary, hold such sentiments to be dis
organizing end traitorous, ,odious to all patriotic
and Union-loving men, and disgraceful to the
civilization of the age, and we hereby give to
our fsllow-citizens, East, West, North and
South, our most solemn pledges that whoever
may be elected President of these United States
in constitutional way, shall receive from us,
in the lawful discharge Of his duties, the same
willing obedience and energetic support which
We have given to each and all Of his prede-
oesaors, and we hereby declare our 6rm and
unaltered purpose to sustain and protect him
In the lawful discharge of these duties from
all enemies within or without, at homo or
abroad.
There was an effort to lay this resolution on
the table, but it passed by large majority,
and then the meeting adjourned.

saS{ Well to Your Ticket,

An insxplicable silence has been manifested
BY the Regulars of the Y. M. M. L. Associa-
tion. No ticket has been announced for a
contest with the Independents at the annual
election, which is assigned for Tuesday next.
We caution our readers against spurious
tickets. We say with the lecturer, "Every
Tub on lts Own Bottom"-but we have ad-
vices Of one turned up. The ticket has been
turned topsy-turvy. The cook has been de-
oapitated and the head is at the bottom of the
ticket. Look out for the Irregular Ticket
President, Joseph B. Chapman, with wynne,

WASHINGTON, December 29.--The names oil
the six Opposition members who to-day voted
with the majority of the Democrats for Mr.,
Scott, for Speaker, are: Boteler, Bouligny,
Hardeman, Moore, Of Tenn, Vance and
Maynard. H,a7 e8
Mr.. Branch will, if he has not already done
so, probably demand of Mr., Grow in the usual
manner, an explanation of the language ap.
piled to him to-day in the House. It is prob.
able, however, that by the Intervention Of
friends, the cause Of offense on each side will
be removed without resorting to extreme
measures. s4 .t

support Of the Poor.

: A poor plan Of supporting the poor Is pool
management indeed. The attention of the
City Council Of Cincinnati has just been called
to our own municipal expenditures for va
grants and the INDECENT residents Of our city,
by Mr.. Longworth, and his son-in-law, Mr..
Flagg. The latter gentleman, whose father
has been Mayor Of the city of New Haven,
has furnished our city authorities with
the views on this subject of Mr.. James Brsws-
tor, Of New Haven, who, in 1895, conceived
the idea that there was physical ability in
the poor Of large cities to be made self-sup-
porting. After examining what kind of poor
houses were provided in New York and else
where, the subject was discussed in the City
Council, and few thousand dollars were ap-
propriatsd for small farm andplain structures,
whore, BY daily lsbor, in and out of doors,
and by wholesome. regular, moral instruction
and kind treatment, the poor were comforta-
bly, cared for, supported by their own labor.
Horticulture was relied upon and was pro-
ductivo resource. Heavy appropriations hith-
erto made were unnecessary than $780,
600 was saved to the town, and the land is
worth more than twice the purchase money.
An Orphan Asylum for poor children was also
built on the grounds. We await the report Of
the Committee on Infrmary, when We will
give our views as to the poor way ours is Of
supporting the poor in idleness and moral
degradation, instead of developing their men
tai, moral and physical powers, and support
ing themselves.
The money of this people is wasted like
water on the ground-even worse than that,
for it may cause some good growth. We will
hold up, however, and wait to see if we are to
have . reform. ~
