ANOTHER STRIKE. The printers OF the book
and job Offices are 30 much dissatisfied with
their wages that they mink 1t better to have
no wages at oil, and have stopped working
here in midwinter. Il is not worth while to
pity their families, since they themselves do
not. The employers say that they already pay
more than is paid in Boston or Philadelphia,
and IL they are compelled to pay more the In
creased charges will drive work to other cities.
Here is difficulty that the Union system does
not seem 70 provide for. The Union can. TO .
certain extent, prevent men coming from other
cities to do the work that men here have
given Up, but Il cannot prevent the work
going to the men. WIN they try this refine
mcnt? VIII printers in Boston or Philsdel-
phia be required by the Union to keep their
hands OF work sent from this city2 II not
the strike is hardly worth while, and they had
better agree on something.

tnally the debate went over to q special
meeting, to be held this day week.
Early this morning fire broke out in
frame tenement house, corner of Third
and Fourth streets, Brooklyn. The fire
occurred while the occupants were all
sleeping, and the flames had made so
much Roadway before they were dis
covered that the means Of egress were
almost entirely cut off when the unfortu>
nate people became aware OF their terrible
situation. The greatest CONSERVATION
prevailed. The rooms were filled with
smoke and as they jumped from their
beds, one after another CROPPED their way
out. All with the exception of three
little children reached the street in their
night clothes, and in the confusion which
prevailed it was almost impossible to tell
whether all the unfortunate occupants had
been saved or not. As each family found
themselves in the street shiVering with
the cold, they gathered their little ones
around them, and the scene was most
distressing. The third floor front was
occupied by Mr.. Frederick Thorn, whose
family consisted of a wife and FIVE chill
dren. He escaped to the street with his
wife and two children, in an almost in
sensible condition, who looked about
them supposing that the other little ones
had been carried out by some one. They
searched among the crowd who had COL
lected about the scene of the fire, but
the children were nowhere to be found.
When they realized that they had per-
ished in the flames, their grief was most
heart-rending.

ton dispatch says that several wealthy
and leading revolutionary Cubans have
arrived there, and have made their repre-

well armed and organized and that any
number can be raised so soon as the arms
are landed on the island. They require
no men from the United States, saying,
"We have men enough all we want are

GRANT ON IMPEACHMENT.
How the Success of the Republican
Party WAS ENDANGERED


Party was Endangered.
G. E. Moss, correspondent of the
Anti SldDery Stamford, writes to that
paper some statements concerning the
position Of Gen. Grant on the Impeachc
ment question, which are worthy Of con-
sideratiOn, and are not calculated to give
much comfort to the Radicals Grant, it
seems, defends the conservative Senators
who opposed the revolutionists, and tells
the latter plainly that their defeat alone
saved the party in the late election The
following is the letter
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan 5, IS69.-TO the
editor of Standard: In my letter to the
Standard, dated May %, 1868, stated
that it was reported that General Grant
favored an acquittal of President john
son after the vote upon the eleventh arti-
Gle, and Senator Ross claimed his vote
was cast at the instance of General
Grant. 1t was generally believed by
those whose opportunities of knowing his
views were most favorable, that although
desiring the success of the measure at
the time it received the sanction of the
House Of Representatives, he desired its
defeat before the testimony in the case
closed Many Radical friends deemed
such suspicious unfounded, and censured
me for endeavoring to create belief in
their truthfulness. Since his election to
the Presidency he has spoken freely of
the matter, and admits that the facts
were as suspected.
A few days since one of the Repre-
sentatives Of Missouri called upon the
