y. VI. Ncwspnper OGices in TronbIe

The compositors In the Times, Tribune,
Netes, Transcript and Herald offices left
their work last night shortly before mid
night, and refused to help get out their re-
spective papers, because the night editors
in charge wished to publish an ADVERTISE
ment which came to them in the regular
course of business. 1t seems the Times office,
deeming the demand Of the Printers Union
for sixty cents per thousand ems exorbitant,
sent an advertisement to the other news
paper offices, offering to give employment
TO other printers for fifty cents per thou
sand ems. As soon as it was known that
such an advertisement had been received,
the compositors inthe Times, Tribune, Neus,
Transcript, and Herald, notified the editors
in charge that they would not help to set
up their respective papers until they were
promised that the advertisement would be
rejected. The answer in each case, of
course, was, that the compositors, while
they had an undoubted right to fix the price
at which they would work, decidedly ex-
ceeded their prerogatives in saying what
advertisements should or should not go into
the paper. If that privilege was accorded
them they would be both editors and pub
fishers of their respective journals. The
Herald finally succumbed; but, ais we write
q. A. M, the other papers are holding out,
and their columns will have slim appear
ance, II, indeed, they succeed in getting out
at all. We cannot but think that this most
unwise and unjust proceeding will sooner
or later throw every member of the Print
ers' Union who sanctioned it out of en-
ployment, SO far as this city is concerned.-

No MIDDLE-AGED people IN FRANCE
There are two things no nation of the
Continent possesses-spring and middle-
aged people. You may be young fora good
long spell; some have been known. by the
judicious appliance,of art to keep on for
sixty years or so; but when you do pass the
limit, there Is no neutral territory, no ,aezzo
termine. Fall out Of the young guard and
you must serve as veteran. Thelevity and
frivolity, the absence of all serious interest
inlife which mark the leisure classes abroad,
follow men sometimes even to extreme old
age. Thesuccessive changes oftemperament
and taste which we mark at home have no
correlativesabroad. The foreigner inhabits
at sixty the same sort of world he did at six
and-twenty; he does not dance so much, but
he fingers In the ballroom, and he is just as
keenly alive to all the little naughty talk
that amused him forty years ago, and fully
as much interested to hear that the world Is
just as false and as wicked as it used to be
when he was able to contribute to its frallty
and ickedness.-B Bldekcood.

A Midnight Scene at the Armory In
Chicago.

/
The Police Of Chicago are waging war
against the vagrant women of Chicago. On
Thursday evening last 70 were arrested and
taken to the Armory. The scenes that
followed are thus described by the Chicago
| Times; ~
The scene presented at the ArmOry, after
the streets had been cleared, battles descrip-
tion. 1t was perfect representation of
pandemOnium. Seventy-five depraved wo-
men, all hilarious and jolly, and reckless
what the morrow would bring forth, were
huddled together in the contracted hall al
| lotted to female prisoners. They were of
all ages. colors, grades and nationalities,
from the coarse, repulsive, thick-lipped
denizens of negro dives, to the more come
ly, attractive and dangerous habitues Of
more reputable resorts. Old hags and dim
| pied beauties were there. Ancient offenders
with faded charms and bloated features,
were mingled with girls of rare beauty and
tender ages. All seemed resolved to meet
grief with smiling countenances. They
laughed, and shouted, and caroused, and
swore, and sang patriotic songs and plain
tive ditties and humorous ballads. Notone
gave way to dependency, on the principle
that grief and sorrow and tears are of no
|
squarely and boldly in the face, and make
the best of disagreeable predicament. OBJ
scene wit was the order of the night
Blackguardism was the only theme of con-
versation. The officials who caused the
wholesale onslaught would not have felt
fattered at the comments made concerning
them. Not one eyelid closed in sleep dur
ing the whole night. From dusk till day
light the walls of the Armory rang with the |
coarse and hoarse and vulgar harangues,
and songs and bacchanalian revelries of |
seventy-five npnphs du pdue. 1t was men, |
orable night and will not soon be forgotten |
by the unfortunate ones whose existence is |
one long continued scene of turmoil and eX-
citement.
In the morning, when the prospect of a
term in the Bridewell grew more distinct,
the assumed hilarity gave place to more Sc
rious thoughts. Smiles disappeared. Tears
started. Hopelessness and despair were
written on the countenances of the misera-
BILE, wretched outcasts. The horrors to come,
the knowledge of what would have to be
endured for many long days, the vivid re-
collections of former encounters with the
bugs and reaches and rats and other vermin
with which the Bridewell is infested, was
not matter to be laughed at. Mush and
molasses and stale beef-soup was not diet
calculated to invite their appetites, or lend
a charm to hours of imprisonment. Coarse
bule dresses; and scrubbing brushes and
wash-tubs were not calculated to attract
those who had led lives of dissipation and
incidence. Trains of thoughts like these,
therefore, had sobered down the defiant
faces of the motley group, and many, as
they came out to receive sentence, were the
very picture of squalid misery.

Especial Dispatches to The New York Timeg.l

WASHINGTON, SUNDAY, aug. III
Wheqe is Lees army? is a question which
is much asked of late here, but 1t finds no
intelligent reply. 1t is accepted that large
reductions have been made from the force
lately at Petersburg, but precisely where
the detachments have gone, 1t is much more
difficult to tell.
There is no doubt that at least two divi-
sions have been sent by Lee to reinforce
Early; and from New Orleans we have a
statement that Beauregard, with 10000 men,
has arrived at Atlanta.
The military chessboard, on the whole,
presents muddled aspect. Intelligent OBJ
servers foresee that we may soon expect
and moves and combinations that may per-
chance startle the country.
The statement in the late dispatch OF
Gen. Banks, from New Orleans, that the
passage of the forts guarding the entrance
of Mobile gives us possession Of the city,
expresses a confidence not shared by the
Navy Department here. Admiral Farra-
CUTS vessels draw too much water to let
him within anything like shelling distance
of Mobile. The need of cooperation OF q
land force begins therefore just where 1t
began at Charleston-that is, after forcing
passage by the navy. Now, the question
of the ability of the army to take Mobile
will depend on the strength of the expedi-
tionary land force and on the strength of
the enemy's force. The rebel force at Mo-
bile is known to have lately numbered
about fifteen thousand men, under COM
mand of Gen. Maury, but it is highly prob
able that the necessities of the Georgia
campaign have already compelled the with
drawal of good portion of these to the de-
fense of Atlanta. If these facts be as sta
ted, Mobile must now be stripped nearly
bare of all regular Confederate force, and
its defense is mainly in the hands Of Home
Guards. This would throw the city open to be
seized by blow rapidly struck. But there
is only too much reason to believe that the
rebels are now throwing considerable rein
forcements into Mobile, and the statement
lately made in the New Orleans papers, that
with 10000 men, had reached
Atlanta, would confirm the announcement
made few days ago in The Times, that the
defense of Mobile had been intrusted to
that officer, the capture of Mobile is there
fore not as certain as Gen. Banks announce
ment would convey. AS before stated,
however, the possession of the city itself is
not regarded by the authorities as of very
high importance.
Positive intelligence reaches here from
Gen. Grants headquarters that Lee has sent
TWO divisions of infantry and force of
cavalry to reinforce the rebel column in the
This will probably make
The rebel army in that region strong enough
to give Sheridan battle should he prolong
MS advance much further as at latest adj
vices Gen. Sheridan was at Winchester and
The rebel force at Strasburg, an interval of
but fifteen miles. A collision may be eX-
Dected at any moment. @.
