A couple of weeks ago notice was Civ
en- to the workman in the railroad shops
at Cleveland, that on the first of April
the days work wsuld be reduced to nine
hours, and a corresponding reduction
would be made in wages. This notice was
Cleveland aud Cincinnati road so as to
afterward modified in the shops of the
make the reduction of wages only from
five to seven per cent. In the car shops
of MoNary,. Claflin &, Co., notice of a
reduction of ten per cent in wages was
also given. The arrangement did not
suit the men, and on Wednesday morn
ing there was a general strike "all
along the lipes.n About q thousand OF
the mea formed a procession, visited
the car shops and all the principal ma
chine shops where wages had been re-
duced. TIE affair passed of without
violence. At l o'clock meeting was
organized, and committees were ap-
pointed to confer with the railroad
managers and other employees, from
whose efforts an adjustment of the trou-
BILE was expected.

From the Springfield Mass Republican
The Rebel Dead.

We utterly fail to sympathize with
the sentiments of those who would for
bid the rebel dead to be buried side by
side with.our cwn. When the great
Gcbt is paid, surely it cancels all our
petty claims. When u man gives up
life bravely in the front of battle, no
matter in how bad cause, if not ad-
miration, at least forgiveness and pity
are the natural tribute of all generous
hearts. These remarks are suggested,
or rather compelled, by Observing that
Rush G. Hawkins, Colopel Of one of
those regiments which made the name
OF ZOuave detestable during the war,
took occasion ia his speech at the Union
League rooms at New York. Thursday
evening, to attack u member of the
club who had expressed himself in
favor OF common burial of the
Union and the rebel dead. Such a
man miSrepresents in every sense
the feeling of the grand army-we
do not allude to a secret organization
by that name. 1t shonld DO left to
Southern women and Radical politi-
clans to exhibit such animOsities. No
Northern father lamenting his son need
feel wronged to know that darling of
Il Virginia home lies by his side; and
if the two soldiers, bravely as they con-
tended in life, should become conscious
of that neighborhood, we have no fear
that their long last rest would be dis
tnrbed. Rather would they clasp their
warning hands, put face to face, and
sleep like brothers recOnciled. Shame
upon such unmanly bitterness, No true
American will honor himself more than
by rebuking every manifestation of this
hate, that descends intS the grave, and
makes separation between the bones of
gallant men. Out upon the thought
that the rank and file of the Southern
army were traitors and criminals! They
fought honestly and earnestly in bad
cause, enduring in many cases privation
of which onr own troops knew butlttle.
They marched barefoot when our boys
were we'll shod. They went hungry
when ours were we'll filled. They dis
puted every inch of ground with des.
perate valOr, and yielded only to desti-
ny at last They proved themselves in
life foemen worth of our steel, and their
mOulderiDg bones may we'll rest in
peace by the side of our bravest and
dearest. Their differences with us were
all settled when they fell together with
ours on the field of honor. "All that is
left of them now" is human. Vengeance
need not follow them into the, grave.
Pity may weep over them Patriotism
may cover their failings, remembering
that they were children of one mother,
and that their valor sprang out of the
same heroic stock. Beauty may strew
flowers upon the green mounds that
hide such courage aud high resolve.

Grear nccrcn.e in Ipco mes

The New York Evening Post ann .un-
ces the very significant fact, based upon
information received from the assistant
assessors, that there isa general, though
very irregular, decrease in the income
tax from last year, aud the aggregate
tax OF that city will fall OFT more than
twenty tivc Ter cent. 1t is this income
tax, with its iuHnistorial OtfensiYeness
towards every class Of the community,
that, of all Others, should be removed
rather than the taxes on manufactures.

d. not sec that our Radical legislators
at Washington are doing anything ma

factures, with no reduction of duties on
the corresponding class ofimports, while

policy, and the people are still to be
annoyed by having their lessening in

What's the Untterf

The Cincinnati Commercial, Rrpub-
lican paper, is not harmonious on the
Impeachment question. 1t says:
The impeachers in the Senate are not
making the headway they expected.
They are not having their way by two
thirds votes upon all questions. Sew
eral times they have been outyoted,
greatly to their surprise and fury. The
screechy Drake is the mos. violent and
headstrong, aud is exercising his old
faculty of fhurrying into a minority. As
Chief Justice Chase is presiding over
the Senate with dignity and impartial
lty, and with knowledge of parliamen.
tary aud other law, the worshipers of
old Ben. Wade are indignant, and the
Radical letter and dispatch writer's are
making proclamation that Chase has
gone over to The enemy. If there is not
better management in the Impeachment
business, Ben. Wade will not be inau-
gurated on the 7th of May.

A Female Gambling Hell in New
York.
IN. Y. Coz. Syracuse Standard.


In Twenty-third street, near Madison
avenue, is a gambling house, patron
lied exclusively by females. With the
kind permission of your readers we will
visit IT.
1t is modest, unpretentious-lookin
house, the entrance scrupulOusly clean,
and presenting no different appearance,
externally, than those adjoining, save
the blinds are all tightly closed. Ring
ing the bell, We are admitted by gOr-
geously appareled woman, who acts as
janitrcss. On one side of the hall is a
superb painting of Leda and the Swan,
OIL the opposite side is another painting,
euually good, of Vonuo 'ioIuS from the
sea. Ascending the stairs, we are ush-
cred into the parlors on the first floor.
They are elegantly, even luxurlously,
furnished. The person who fitted up
Fthese rooms must have had exquisite
taste. The paintings hanging on the
walls are rare and valuable, but the
most conspicuous, and the one that
first strikes the eye and rivets the at
tention, is the painting by AIRY Schatfer
of the gambling scene from Bulwer's
play of Money" and for which, it IS
stated, August Belmont has offered
$50 600, and been refused.
Seated around the room and at the
gaming table are n number of ladies, all
of whom are dressed in the hight of
fashion. The players are flushed with
excitement, but the dealer, in her Pom
padour waist, half revealing, half con-
ccaling an ample bust, sits calm and
collected, and rakes in the "chips" with
the utmost sdnqfrod. Ever and anon
some player, when heavy bet is lost,
calls fer wine. which is speedily sup
piled by an attentive and demure look
ing Hcbe Demure Yes. but it is the
occurrences of q cat. Offend her, and
she will quickly show you that she has
claws.
That lady, atthe centre of the table,
sitting between Anonyma and Aspasla.
is the wife ofOne of our most wealthy
merchants could tell you her name,
but tales must never be told out Of
school. Observe that young lady, with
bonnet no larger than cookie shell,
and Bismarck brown ribboEs; the one
who is now taking off her diamond ring
to stake, and which she will lose as sure
as eggs are eggs, is the daughter of an
ex.Judge. All our wealthy merchants
wife is a loser; see, she rises from the
table biting her lips till the blood comes
to conceal her emotions. Come, let us
away. Such scenes do not. make our
opinion of poor, weak human nature the
more exalted.
Is it any wonder that we frequently
see rewards offered for lost diaInoAd
rings, necklaces and bracelets. If we
had the power Of Asmodeus, we would
see these "lost" articles in the safe OF
some gentleman who has for his sign
the old Lombardy emblem of three balls
The thirst fer gambling will be satisfied
and money must be obtained. Yes, yes,
Hamlet was right, There are mere
things in Heaven and earth than are
dreamed of in our philosophy"

is tract of ground comprising fifty
acres, on which was once race track.
Under the benign administration of
John Pope, Brevet Major General, satraP
commanding, it catered into the heart
of authority to purchase this tract and
erect thereon grand barracks, TO the
securing of the peace in these parts and
the untItterable pront Of a certain
ring Of troely lOll men.
Fifty acres, have virtually said, are
bought to carry out this Job" Fifty
honses are built or building. A half 4

in this matter, and who can say where
the expenditure is to stopi

on this country the doctrines of the

declare that republican government is
a failure, and We are ready and will

an election or corruption fund. 1t is
buying presses in the South, buying
men, buying lies and frauds aud bar
racks. What I say to-day would

where do you stand Listen to what |
am now going to tell you for am your
friend. l have no purpose to introduce
political and social equality between
the white and black races. There is a
material difference between the two
