OURt NEXT GoVERNoR-Unless some fortui-
tous occurrence interEenes either Asa Packer,
democfat, or John W. Geary, republican, will
be thdnext chief magistrate of our state. The
republican nominee and present governor John
w. GGary, attained no public distinction prior
to theFebellion, which he entered as colonel of
the 18th Pennsylvania volunteers, from which
position he was promoted to brigadier, and
from fhence to a major -generalship Of volun-
teers.s During what is past of the term he is
now serving as governor, he has not made him
self Particularly obnoxious, nor has he display
ed anS particular brill incy. One or two of his
Official acts merit our commentator, while sew
eral others call for universal disapprovaL We
deemsit unnecessary to particularize them here,
and till merely mention that among his com
mendable acts is his endorsement Of the Eight
Hous Law and of Mr.. Foy's act legalizing trades
uniOfa His belief in the equity Of the above
meni toned measures was not made public, how
evert until the eleventh hour, and while some
ascrIbe his tardiness to an unwillingness to &C
cordIustice until forced to it, we are content to
belidTe the endorsement honest and worthy of
tharAs. The blacklist item in his gubernatorial
career is his approval of the Registry Law,
viii d is avowedly designed to give to the party
in p7wer the means whereby it may continue
/ in. eThe law has since, however, received judi
cial assent from partisan bench--and in COM
parison With that execrable action Geary's sinks
almost into significance. On several measures
Of Ideal significance he has placed himself in an.
tagdnism with our people, but on the whole has
proSen himself equal in honesty and honor, il
not superior, to the average run of governors
Asa Packer, in whose behalf the democracy
asks our suffrage, is of Yankee birth and tuition
Since his sixteenth year he has been resident
Of Gie mining regions Of this state, during which
ting he has accumulated a fortune estimated al
somewhere between fifteen and twenty million:
OF collars. His being wealthy does not Of course
ned hesitate his being unjust, or in any Othe
wac unsuited to the governorshp Of q grea
stsse, but his fortune is the aggregate profits o
mfIey invested IN business wherein the oper-
tivks are the poorest paid and hardest wOrkeC
Of Eny mechanics or laborers in the country
miAers. He is represented as being very IN
POPULAR among them, for which reason man.
dOAbted the policy of nominating him. Th
+ convention, however, contained a preponder
artce of his friends, and the party must needs b
cohtent. Steps will be taken to officially as

Ledger has given grossly incorrect statements
In reference to workingmens movements.
Whether designed Or not, We are unwilling to
say, but Mr.. Childs known hostility 20 the
movement and his positive hatred of several of
the more prominent gentlemen identified with
it, give such misstatements the suspicion Of
having been wilfully made.
TAG WKAvEss Official announcement of the
ultra success of the strike of this craft has been
made public. The weavers have not one de-
feat recorded against them since the resuscita-
ton OF their organization. So much for perse-
verence and belief in Davy Crocketts maxim,
Be sure you're right, then 60 ahead
OrHER TRADEs are doing nothing msriting
mention. Very nearly all the trade organixa-
lions in this vicinity will DO represented at the
coming session of the National Labor Union.
Active preparations are being made at least to
secure full representation Of them. The oc-
casion will cause an awful rattle among our dry
bones. The natives will awaken out of their
lethargy to rest eyes upon a spectacle which il
10 hoped will prove matter of more than pass
ing interest to them.

Chicago Building and Loan Associat non

Chicago Building and Loan Association.
The sprtoging up of building and loan associa-
tons in several cities throughout the Union, is
happy tiing for the working man, and those
persons DO are unable, or do not possess SUI
hcient means to furnish themselves with a
home WITHOUT resorting to some capitalist, who
in many Instances takes advantage of a mans
necessitieA aud charges exorbitant rates for the
Little servtce rendered. The plan ofthe Chicago
building and Loan Association, an institution
recently chartered, and now in the full tide Of
successful operation, obviates all these objec-
tons, ank enables the member to become the
swner of house and lot by the pay ment Of
the monthy rents, By the operations of Law,
the shared held by members of this asso citation,
together sIth the amount Of deposits made for
the purpose Of securing homestead, are exempt
from attachment, or sale ON execution for debt,
and marfed women may hold such shares also,
exempt from debt, aud the debts of their hus-
bands, ahd parents may also hold shares for the
use Of msnor children. The plan appears both
practicable and safe, and that it must prove be-
ne6cial ee have the evidence of other associa-
tons, sad of the members who have taken and
still hOsd shares in them. In the city and
neighbofhood Of New York there are three
building associations, all successful, and from
an article recently published in the New York
TRIBUSf exhibit results highly gratifying The
first UrSon Cooperative Building Association
in New York numbers 46l members, holding
shares 30 the amount of 81 ,2OO, 900, has repaid
cash To- che amount of $5s,6S6 so, and has SUP
piled nineteen members with homes in Williams
burg, Westchester County, Hoboken, Hudson
City, Ska.en Island, and one in that city. What
has been accomplished by other institutions of
this ki;d in other Cities will be done bv the one
low I'M operation in Chicago. Its officers are
PRACTICE men, and have taken hold of the mat
ter for she purpose Of lettering the condition Of
toe wof kingman and those who are frugal in the
savingiof small sums.
Subscriptions for shares are now being macs
at the office, l25 Dearborn street, where copy
of the constitution and bylaws can be obtained,
and all necessary information given.
