Growth of Sentiment.

To 1886 the Ohio Anti Slavery So
ciety met at Sandusky aud was com
pelled to resort to barn. Among
its resolutions the following was
passed unanimously:
"Resolred. That the thanks OF
this Society be respectfully rendered
TO Ashley Bancroft for tho use Of his
barn on this OCCASION"
The above appe RS in the Memphis

The debate upon feconstruc'iou 10
the Senate yesterday was wearisome,
the occasion alone giving il much in
terest. The bitter speech Of Mr. Doc.
little was the only exception, and vas
regarded as an indication that the
President will not yield any part Of
his policy. During the evening ses.
sion, the galleries aud lobbies were
filed till 10 o'clock, when Garrett
Davis obtained the floor, and speed.

fore midnight, Mr. Sherman offered a
substitute for the bill and pending
amendments, which had been agreed
upon in a caucus of Republican Sen.
ators held during the morning, at
which the whole subject was referred
to committee Of seven Senator's
Fessendeu, sumner, Trumbull, Sher-
man, Harris, Howard aud Frelinghuy-
aen.
The design was to harmouize tho
Republican Hdo Of the chamber u
possible on the basis Of the Military
bill, with the House amendment, and
a few other changes in the House
bill.
Mr.. sHERMAN's BILL. .
The result was, to amend to bill as

Gen. Grant, and striking out The pro-
vision prohibiting U. 5. Judges from
issuing writs Of habcas corpus in the

THE BLAINE AMENDMENT.
The Blaine amondmont, in its mod
fled form, was then soperaddcd as

vision was afterwards made in the
Senate, that in all capital cases the
Presidents approval should be necos-
sary. ..f

SLATE-AxERIcAN AND FoREIGN.-In view
IF the increasing production of roofing slate
in Vermont the following extract from the
american Journal of Mining will be of gener-
ii interest to the people of Vermont
The use of American slate, material for
roofing. is comparatively OF recent date: For
ncrlv the quarries of Wales supplied the de-
ceased with the introduction of fat and tin
roofs. In Great Britain however, and, to a
great degree, upon the Continent, slate has
alwavs preserved it's preeminence as a safe,
cheap, durable and ornamental material for
roofing. In our own country, the revival of
architectural taste. the fashion of French
and Gothic roofs, and the high prices of i'm
ported tin have been instrumental in reviy-
ing and augumenting the demand for slate.
Wales cannot even supply the British King
dom; and we are thrown back upon our own
resources which are, fortunately, ample.
The business of quarrying slate for roofing
purposes, which was began some years ago
in the United States with considerable zeal,
has suffered various vicissitudes incident to
the inexperience and lack of Judgment of the
early entrepreneurs but after many failures,
a degree of success has been achieved which
places this industry on a sound business foot
ing Our best roofing states are good as
those of any other country, and are furnished
at a price which renders them, especially
when durability is considered, cheaper, as
well as better in many other respects, than
shingles or tin. AS for pleasing ornamental
effect, nothing can compare with a roof of
tastefully arranged purple and green Yer
mont states.

An ORIGINAL DocUMENr.-The vexed
question of the eight-hour system of labor
has at length been definitely settled by
meeting of workingmen in California, who.
lfter a prolonged debate, submitted the
following report, disposing of the matter in
novel and ingenious manner. The report
IS copied rerbatina from newspaper pub
ished on the spot I:
"Supposing a man work ten hours in
one day at three dollars he will earn thirty
cents per hour and work sixty hours in
one week which amounts to eighteen dol
lars per week we will say he pays FIVE dol
lars per week to his employer for board
Witch will leave him thirteen dollars clear
For the week While the Eight hour sys-
tem man works forty eight hours in one
week and earn IA 40 dollars and forty cents
md loses twelve hours equivalent to one
md half day on the eight hour scale or
)ne and two tenths on the ten hour scale or
equivalent to three dollars and sixty cents
1t the rates of so cents per hour Now the
Eight hour man does not earn so much in
proportion as the ten hour man, for this
reason it will take him seven days and a
half to perform the same amount of labor
that the ten hour man will in one week,
and their not being only six labcring days
IN one week he will have to pay in proper
