The National Labor CONGRESS.

This convention which met on the 10th
inst. at Philadelphia, brought its labors to a
close on Saturday evening last. Among its
proceedings was the appointment of a CON-
nittee to organize the colored workmen into
labor Unions; also recommending the work
ing men and women to organize into CO.
operative Unions in all branches of industry.
The platform as finally adopted is so
lengthy that We defer its publication to our
next. 1t is sort of economic-political pro-
gramme, which, taking some of the later DEM
ocratic platforms as the standard measure,
We could cheerfully endorse, with exception
perhaps, of a few glittering generalities and a
few oglings with the radicals.
Anything like a definite movement towards
organizing distinct political party was
voted down, the convention apparently (and
wisely deeming that they could accomplish
more by acting as lever upon the other
great political parties, than by cutting loose
from both and setting up party of their
own.
Officers for tie coming year were elected as
follows:
Richard Trevelick was made president
A. T. Cavis and G. Kuhn, vice presidents !;
II. T. Wells, secretary; A. w. Phelps treas
urer; A. c. Cameron delegate to the interna-
tional labor congress, to meet at Basic, Swift
erland, in September. The next convention

County Fair,

Let every body remember that our county
fair commences on Tuesday September 18th,
which is but two weeks from next Tuesday.
We observe, by the posters just issued, that
among the attractions at the fair will be a
walking feat by Weston, the great pedestrian.
He will walk distance of ten miles in two
hours, one-half mile of the distance to be
walked backward.
There is also, by particular request, baby
show in the programme, which promises to
pc well sustained and to elicit great deal of
interest.
We are happy to find, on enquring among
the farmers and our better class of mechanics,
that both city and country are walked up to
a much more than usual degree about our
county fair and that an exhibition greatly in
advance of any previous one, both as to the
objects on exhibition and the magnitude of at
tendance, may reasonably be looked for.

THE BIG CHICAGO STEAL of the lake from

u q
THE BIG CHICAGO STEAL of the lake front
to aid that city in fixing up her parks, has met
with check, in the form of an injunction,
sued out by U. s. District Attorney J. o. Glover,
restraining the city from selling the lake front.
The case stands like this: The property orig.
inally belonged to the U. 8. The government
gave it to Chicago to be reserved as public
ground. The property is now worth $4,000,
600. Chicago real estate gamblers and specu-
lators, aided by the III. Central, Northwestern,
and Burlington and Quincy R. R. Companies,
got bill through the legislature requiring the
city to sell the land to the railroad companies
for 100000, and to use the money for improv-
ing parks on the outskirts of the city. Now the
c. S. step in and say to Chicago, tive gave you
this land to remain forever public ground. If
you refuse to hold it for that purpose, but
abandon it to the railroad companies, of course
it reverts back to the government" The po-
sition would seem to be impregnable, and the
big lake front steal is likely to come to naught
The legislative act contains among others the
curious provision, that if Chicago refuses
to sell the property, worth $1,000 900, for
100000, the railroad companies shall take it
for nothing .5T-

SPIRIT PHoToGRAPHING.--Sturgi Mich,
is now agitated with the greatest sensation
Of the season. A lady of that city went into
the photograph gallery of Mr. Bostwick,
and sat as usual for her picture. Instead of
her own picture appearing upon the plate,
when it was taken from the camera, there was
on it the picture Of gallant young officer
who had gone to the war from Sturgis, was
killed in 1868, and now manifests his ghostly
appearance in Sturgis in this singular way.
The lady tainted on seeing the picture, and
as neither the lady or the artist ever had any
belief in or serious thoughts about spiritual
ism, their being thus made the subject of O
new Mumler sensation is the more astonish-
ing. The picture, after hanging week in
MIR Bostwck's gallery, has given the public
another surprise in the sudden appearance
on the plate Of another shadowy human form
which has not yet been recognized.

Presidential Recreation.

For the past-two, weeks Washington has
been deserted, not only by the President, but
every cabinet minister. Such thing had not
occurred before in the history of the govern
ment. The President having imbibed aside
from numerous questionable Auids) the idea
prevalent among the, petty sovereigns of Eu-
rope, that supreme power should be used
rather as means Of pleasure seeking and indi-
vidual qualification than Of promoting the
public good, it is quite natural that his cabi-
net ministers should have fallen into the same
notion. So instead of hearing, in reference to
the President, reports Of some signal acts Of
public service, worthy of his position, we are
RECALLED with Jenkins reports OF his achieve
ments as q carpet knight at some Jersey water
ing place. Thus volumious letter in New
York paper tells US about "clam bake" down
in Jersey to which the President was invited.
A prodigious quantity Of clans were ''rakedr
and disposed Of, and then the Jerseyites gave
ball in the Generals honor; but unfortun-
ately, the dissipation Of the day had made his
excellency ''sick !" and at the violin call, he was
unable to "trip the light fantastic, though
rumor says he tripped some fantasies that are
not known to the modern art Of dancing.
Mrs. Grant attributed the rsick" to an over
dose Of CLANS, but those who were the most
amused at the Generals appearance, admitted
that it was little strange that the CLAIMS at.

are willing to admit that New Jersey CLANS

Marvels of the Telegraph.

The famoug boat race on the river Thames,
between boats crew of Oxford University,
in England, and a crew of Harvard Universe
ty, Massachusetts,, took place at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning; and about the same hour
we had the news of the result in Ottawa, in
the following despatch: ~
LONDON, Aug. ELL A. Min the row
between the Oxford and Harvard crews on
the Thames this A. NJ, the OXfords won by
three lengths.
On account of the difference of time (some
81 hours) between Ottawa and London, the
despatch reached here an hour before the
time by the clock) at which, it was sent,
though it had to be rewritten at New York
and Chicago. III
So the Harvard's are beaten by three
lengths. This is certainly very triiing diff
ference, considering the distance run. Though
beaten, they deserve credit for their pluck.
They undertook to beat crew that had
hitherto distanced all competitors, and chal-
lcnged the world. They met the champions
on their own ground and gave them the hard
est race they ever encountered. Let the Ok
fords now come over and try the Harvards in
their own waters. Until they beat them
there, let not the Boosting Of the Oxfords be
