To the Editors of The AILeghdnian; :.
The time of the sere and yellow leaf is
upon us again, and again we breathe the
pure bracing air of an October day. How
bright the sun shines, and how genial and
pleasant his warmth after dispelling the
frosty mist of morning! How gorgeous
our grand old mountains, clothed III robes
more beautiful to look upon than the
! Kinoly Solomon seated on his Throne OF
Gold! If Church, the great artist, had
copied the. {" Heart of the Alleghanies"
on bright October day like the present,
the painting would justly have been more
celebrated than the "Heart of the Andes"
How this day is enjoyed by everybody
Old and young, in Sunday clothes, throng
our streets and roads leading from the
city, and dot the grassy plots and knobs
on the hills near, enjoying in every pos
sible manner, out-of-doors, the loveliness
of the day-the lingering of summer in
the lap of autumn.
The political sky is as clear and un-
clouded as the sky of to-day for the friends
of Grant and Colfax. During the past
week, the Free Trade League of New York
sent two men, claiming to be members. of
the Labor Reform League, to talk Labor
Reform (.) to the workingmen of this
place-here, where the employer looks to
the comfort and guards the interests of
the employees, and where the employees
respect and have honored, and will honor
again the employer on next Tuesday, by
sending him to Congress for two years
more. These two gentlemen mentioned
g Labor Reform an infinite number of times,
but they meant Free Trade all the while.
They would not counsel the men to
'strike "-strikes were bad things-but
men must have their rights if they should
Law idle all winter, and be reduced to star
vation by it. However, the workingmen
of this city have too much sense to be
turned from the path of right by such pre-
cious Labor Reformers
The Republicans held meeting on
the Public Square on Friday evening
Speeches were made by Paul Strobach
Esq, of Alabama, in German, and by Hon
Mr. Wyndham, of Minnesota. in English
Mr.. Wyndham's speech was one of the
hacpiest we have listened to during the
campaign 1t was clear, forcible and pa
triotic. His words were impressed upon
the minds of every one present, by the
earnestness and courtesy Of the speaker.
Murphy, the young man stabbed by
f Taylor, some weeks since, is, contrary tt
: first opinion, still living, and hopes are en-,
: tertained of his final recovery Taylor
was arrested and bound over in the sum
of three thousand dollars
An old German, named Hooker, was
killed on Thursday last by the Baltimore
train west, near the Freight Depot at this
place. He was severely injured by the
same train, and at about the same spot
last fall He resided at Woodvale. Our
old friend, c. W. Easily, formerly 'sSku-
bal" Of the Freeman, was in town to-day
He looks well, said he aoos well, and scoulo
be we'll enough if he didn't call Grant
and the Tanners such hard names
You will hear from us on Tuesday.
Yours, truly, DAMON.
