The EiJHt-HOur Lar.

The cight-hour law in Illinois does moi
work except with great friction. Oper
ationS in many manufacturing establish
mentS in Chicago have been suspended
because the workmen insist on workin"
only eight hours, and the employers in
sist on ten hours. Some workmen ere
willing TO reduce their wages, while some
insist on full days wages for eight
hours Many workmcn are working ten
hours at old prices. \ riotouS spirit Is
manifested by those who insist on having
full pay for eight hours work, and who
are consequently generally unemployed,
and they have gathered i'll mobs 10 close
all establishments where laborcrS are
peceably at work on the ten-hour system.
This has compelled the interference Of
the police to dispcrse the l.oters. 1t Is
only a new phase OF the old evil Of strik-
inc for higher wages

"BEwARE OF Docs. In 1866, 90
00o sheep were killed in the United
States, by dogs The total value OF prop
crty thus destroyed was over two millions
of dollars. The number of dogs i'll the
country is computed at five millions.
Reckon their value per head nothing,
(Which is believed TO be L just eStimate)
their annual expense for subsistence and
taxes. is not less than ten dollars per
head. Thus we have fifty millions an
nualv invested in worse than useless
property, for the dogs destroy between
two and three million dollars worth Of
sheep, 10 say nothing of that greater
loss. the lives OF many human beings who
are killed by hydrophobia every year.
We like the way they are treating the
dogs in Chicago-teeding them on boiled
beef. to which little nuX vomica is adj
dcd.

The state Convention.

We publish elsewhere the call tor 4
state convention to be held at Montpelier
the 3Oth of May The convention Is
called thus early mainly because the
county courts sit in six of the counties
during June and July, thus preventing
many from attending who otherwise
would be clad to.
At the last State convention the COM
mittee were instructed to call the con-
vcntlon this year as delegate convcn-
ton. and it will be seen that they have
followed their instructions, In respect
TO this matter the Burlington Times
saws:
As regards the basis of representation
we think it will meet with general APP
proyal. 1t gives us convention OF 36l
men. body larger than the house OF rep
rcSentatlvcs and we are sure their de-
laboratory will be quite as short, decisive,
and satisfactory TO the people as under
the old system of ''mass conventions.
The Rutland Herald, whose editor Is an
influential member of the State commit
tee, thus briefly expresses the best arsu-
mon1s for DELEGATE convention we have
seen. Ii Is ter=c and sound: "We be-
licvc that the delegate system Is the true
one. and is calculated to pat life and en-
cry into party even where large ma
jority prevails. Every state except Yer
mont has long since adopted it and ii is
to &c hoped that it will not be abandoned
ior the old system of mass convention.

FRoM LA Psz.-Joe Todd, John Roberts, and Col. Wright, arrived in Prescott, from Ia paz, on Wednesday evening last. Mir. Todd says the party crossed the trail of about 100 Indians, between Camp McPherson and Bells Cnon. The Indians were going in the direction of Walnut Grove.
 Captain Weir, the officer in command Of Camp McPherson, had returned to the post, after a seven days scout, short time before the party arrived at that camp. He was un- successful in finding Indians.
 The Apache M0hayes nave, since the killing Of the Mexican and the stealing of the stock mentioned in a former issue of the MINER, by some Indians of their tribe, fled the reserya- tion. and, by this time, they are in the noun tains, prepared to kill and steal.
 Work on the big acequia or ditch will soon commence.
 The party passed several trains eH route to Wickenburg and Prescott. Dr. Jone's train will come no further than McPherson. The trains of Messrs. Werninger, and Dennis X Murphy will be in Prescott soon. Mir. Camp bell and wife will arrive here shortly.

NEGBo OUTRACEs.-For some time we have had accounts of anticipated negro 'r.sings ." in the South. The negroes have been arm ing, drilling, threatening, and in isolated in. stances committing outragcs of savage bar barity. The telegraph now informs Us of the first organized outbreak in Virginia. < par " of negroes, in King William county, mob bed an agent of the Frcedman's Bureau, Shocking as are such outrages to contemplate, there is a sort of grim justice in the fact that the first blows of negro fcrocity and lawless- ue.s nave been directed against an agent of that insttuti0n-ths Freedman's Bureau which. in the hands Of Congress, has been the prime instrument in dcmoraizing the semi savage negroes, and preparing them for their work of rapine and plunder.
