some places at the North:
Fifty carpenters were disc arged from the Kittery
Navy Yard last Saturday. The Glocester Mass Ad

that town. The classes who are suffering are the
widows Of fishermen, and the families Of those fisher
men who bad bad luck the past season. The North
Bridgewater Mass Gazette says in of the schools
of that town there is falling off of onethird in the
attendance from lack Of clothing. In many cases chill
dren barefoored and families reduced to Indian
meal their only food The Pittsburgh Gazette says
that destitution arising from scarcity of labor prevails
to an alarming extent in that city and neghborhood
The secretary Of the Board Of Poor Directors reports
that there have been applications for temporary
relief during the past few weeks in Pittsburgh than
were made during any corresponding period within
the last thirteen years. In Washington correspond
en writes the number of mechanics and laborers who
have been discharged from the Government workshops
is greater than is generally known. Discharges have
been going on since the beginning of November and
within the last four months five hundred men have
been discharged from the quarermaster's department

THE ALABAMA REPRESENTATION Thursday week
Mr.. Doolitte presented petition signed by several
thousand citizens Of Alabama protesting against being
placed under the rule Of negroes The following is
extract:
Continue over US, if you will do so, your own will
by the sword. Send down among us honorable and
upright men Of your people, of the to which
you and belong; and, ungracious contrary to wise
policy and the institutions of the country and tyran-
it will be, no hand will be raised among US to
resist by force their authority. But do not we i'm
plore you, abdicate your rule US by trans
ferring to the blghting, brualisng and unnatural
dominion of an alien and inferior race-a race which
has shown sufficient administrative capacity for
the good even Of the tribes into which it has always
been broken in its native Seats and which in all ages
has itself furnished slaves for all the other Of the
earth.

presidency. The feeling is not altogether confined to
the temperance organisation here (Which very large

tends to Others both drinkers and abstinent persons
F" Rumors have been floating about for a considcra-
BILE time past, much to the regret of men, that
Gen. Grant had resumed the habits which, when in

life and finally resulted in his disconnccon with the
military service Subsequently, in the walks of bust

sought to control his passion for strong drink by habit

fast horses two here and unfortu-

occasions he drove over little boy, who however
not injured so much but that he recovered To
this end Gen. Grant contributed by donating.
1.-THE rumors that have prevailed for some time past
concerning Gen. Grants hurtul indulgence in liquors
and Wines have been literally sustained by fixed facts
He has been repeatedly and noticed in half in
toxicated condition in the street and the ave-

nation At about ten o'clock in the morning he was
staggering along in the lower part of the city and at
about five in the evening by hundreds as they
were coming out St. Matthew's Church. and the West
End. He was accompanied, as is supposed by the
lockers on, by General Dent his fathernlaw and the
General was in SO bad way that he could hardly keep
his legs in trying to make Roadway.

true"
