At indianapolis on the night of the Sd,
there was a very large meeting of the
workingmen. The meeting was addressed
by Hon. RICHARD TREY AtItCk, of Detroit,
Michigan, The following is the Herald s
report of the speech:eq u5ns q gaigsqo (
: He (Mr. Trevallick) devoted his whole
time exclusively to the Interests of labor.
and showed bv statistics that in proportion
as the hours Of labor were decreased, the en-.
eFgy Acknowledgement of q people increased! !

men working from sun to sun, to build a

in two years, and now with thirty-five
RmenI hee.coulds build ship of thou
sand ton, working six hours a day, in
six IInonths time, that would make
three voyages in two years.. To this great
advancement he gave labor all the credit
He was willing that capitalists should en-

allowlthem reasonable time for relaxa-

told his audience of the promises made by
the Legislature of Michigan, and how they
were treated, After they were once I'm power
He did notlappeal teaparty prejudiees, but

themselves and let political parties 60. He
referred to the statement made by the j oi1'-
nal some days ago, that the eight hour sys-
TEN was delusion, and asked ifythe editor
of that paper would now tell him it was a
delusion. The speech was replete with
facts and figures, and he advanced his
theories with an earnestness of manner
that did not fail to elicit rounds of ap-
plause. He closed his speech by exhorting
the, working men to, stand by their ticket,
and not be whipped into voting against it
by the party lash. 80 "'1'' - f-''' .

Q Death Sentence Against Fenian
si I1lhlNnl. 30 rRrfanners. 10 unH IlInl

~ The fears that the Fenian prisoners in
ireland would be harshly dealt with are
(, confirmed by. the news. that the. first. two
Z who were tried have been sentenced to
: death. If the evidence against the rest is
equally strong, it is not improbable that
they Wilt all receive a like sentence. The
British authorities seem inclined to follow
the advice of the london Times, by inr
flicting exemplary punishment upon the
prisoners, ,99wfth the object of putting a
II summarys end to- Fenian revOlts. Posi-
bly, the sentence of death, will, be
commuted, as in the case of the
|. Fenian prisoners in Canada, but we fear a
Z different result. John Bull is relentless and
reyengetul. His d wrath was stirred nup
from the bottom by the last uprising, and
/ nothing but Fenian blood is likely TO ap-
pease him. But he makes great mistake
If he expects to crush out Fenianism by
gibbeting the men whO have FALLEN into his
nclntches. Such a, course willfonly strength
en- the cause, as all experiences teaches. II
John Bull desires to secure immunity from
Fenian revolts, the best course for him &c
pursue is TO release the prisoners who are
now in his hands and then giveitO ireland
q decent and liberal ,goyernment.--N.l Y

Pistol Shooting Extraordinary

The Neeo York Citizen tells the following
rather fMunehausenish stories about Re-
corder Hackett's' pistol-shooting prowess
Recorder Hackett can>do more remark
able things with pistol than any man now
living-probably that has ever lived. He
can split bullets on the edge of knife
twelve times out of twelve at twenty PAGES.
He will take the ashes off friends cigar.
held in the friends mouth, at the
same distances. He will pick awav a
quarter held between a friends finger
and thumb at thirty yards with unerring
certainty. He will shoot half-dollars prop
ped upright from friends head. He will
kill mosquito Oh the wall as far as he can
see the animile 20 and all these things he
will do in any attitude you please-the pis-
tol held ona level with his forhead and
turned upside down, fired of between his
legs, in recnmbent pesition.-=in fact, in
any way or every way that will only allow
one glance of the unerring eye along. the
barrel Give him three shots, with acrook-
ed pistol to guage its inaccuracies and he
/ will use 1t as readily as his most familiar
! weapon. Indeed one of his favorite pistols
IS little ivory-hilted repeater which
throws nearly five feet out of guage in a
( distance of thirty yards. judge Hackett
has ascertained and makes exact allowance
for this eccentricity, and would lust as soon
shoot a match with this latter weapon as
with the most accurate Colt, Derringel
or, Manton in his armory. 7ll''

The Negroes New Masters.

Let it be explained to the negroes that
out of every four hundred pounds of cot
ton they raise they pay $25 dollars to a
New England master. The new master
gets more clear profit from the negro labor
than his former master ever got and he lives
way off yonder in New England, never
caring a continental how his negroes fare,
so long as he puts into his pocket one-third
of all his niger earns. The negroes have
changed masters and have been terribly
swindled in the bargain. And they have
not got for masters the men by whose fight
ing they became free, but the men WHO sat
down at home and had black substitutes
killed for their benefit. H aaiI 1i rss.s.1

When the decision of the examining
court was announced, the excitement OF
the people was intense. Judge EckelS,
however, addressed them, urging them to
let the law take its course, and not dis
grace the town by making it the scene of
mob violence. Hon. IS. III. Buskirk and
Hon. Paris G. Dunning, the latter a rela-
tive of Johns, the murdered man, also adj
dressed the people, exhorting them to
leave the prisoner in the hands of the eivi

effect, and McMinimy, under a guard o.

senator wade. ON state Rights.t
In 1855, Senator WADE thus delivered

In 1856 Senator WADE thus delivered
himself on the subject of State Rights:
"There are some Senators who profess a
greatregard for the rights of the States.lsI
aun one of those who have quite as much
regard for the rights OF the states as some
who make louder professions on the subject
than do. am one of those who not only
when an election is pending, but at all
times believe in the wisdom, the c0nstitu-
tionality and prOpriety of the Virginia
Resolutions of 1898 and 1899. / ground my
self upon these resolutions, and, standing
upon them, denounce this bill as viola
tion, not only of the spirit of those resolu-
tions, but as an attempt to trample upon
the rights OF the States, and to deprive them
of the power to protect their own citizens.
| Who is to be the Judge in the last resort of
the violation of the Constitution of the
United States by the enactment of law ?
Who is the final arbiter? The General
! Government or the States in their sover-
| eignty? Verify, sir, to yield that point is
to yield up all the rights of the States to
protect their own citizens, and to CONSOLE
date the Government into miserable des-
1 potism.' = y al - -31
| At the succeeding session of Congress,
the same Senator said in debate:
| southern gentlemen stand here and in
/ almost all their speeches speak of the dis
| solution of the Union. / am not of those
who would ask them to continue in the
Union. 1t would be doing violence to the
platform of the party to which belong =
We have adopted the old Declaration of In
dependence as the basis of our political
1 movement, which declares that any people
4 when the, Government ceases to protect
their rights, when it is so subverted from
the true purposes of government as to op-
i press them, have right to recur to funda-
\ mental principles, and if need be, to destroy
4 the Government under which they live
and to erect on its ruins another more con.
ducive to their welfare. hold that they
have this right. Twill not blame any peo'
pie for exercising it whenever they think
4 the contingency has come You eanno
| torcibly bold any men in the Union-for th'
4 attempt to do so, it seems TO me, would sub
4 vert the:frst principles of the Government
| under which we live."

manner touching Estate Rights" is held t.
be reasonable. What was it when Sena

Southern Delegations i'm washing
IOn-An Important Question under
the military BiII. ..-f.,7s az
New YORK, March 16.-The Washington
special says, Delegations from the South
are arriving here daily for the purpose of
obtaining the views of the President on the
Reconstruction bill. Governor jenkins, of
Georgia, the head of the delegation from
that State, will soon be here, and among
other important questions Involved in the
operation of the bill to which he will call
the attention OF the Administration, is the
Reputation sof the State debt. Since the
close of the war the Georgia Legislature
passed law paying the old debt of the
State by the issue of new bonds, which be-
ing issued under the authority of the pres
ent Government, declared illegal by the
bill, are now worthless. All of the South
ern States are now in the same predica-
ment, as they have also issued bonds in the
same manner. -..-,. T.. .....s,,
New York Naval officer.
The Tribune's specialsays: 1t is generally
believed that there will be no nomination
sent to the Senate at present for Naval Of
ficer for, New. York. Mr.. Franklin win
therefore hold the place. 1t is understood
that Thurlow Weed effected this when last
in this city. One or two of the applicants
now here assert that the President has pos
itively promised to send nomination to
the Senate for that position before Congress
adjourns. -. 1t, 10, n. 4
-.s Checks Against Overissue. 4.a z
The Herald's special says: The system of
checks against an overiSsae of Government
bonds and securities is such that iG would
require collision between five different
officials through whose hands they have to
pass and by each of whom they. are count
ed, to accomplish it. As there is no evil
dence of this. the reports are attributed to
the efforts of bulls in gold. s8sa aae8Ias
Change of Southern Sentiment.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-Numerous let
tiers have been received here from various
parts of the South, showing an astonishing
revolution in public sentiment with regard
to reconstruction. The bill recently passed
by Congress for that purpose has already
met with much favor from prominent citi-
zenS in excluded States, who were at first
earnestly opposed to it. Virginia, in ac-
cepting the terms proposed, will be speedi-
ly followed by all the other States. Few
who oppose this course exert little if any
influence to defeat the general restoration.
Ths supplemental bill pending before Com
gress is hailed with pleasure, because it eff
fectually prevents two conflicting conven-
tions and insures every person authorized
under the lawt vote, the right to do SO. =
