ADDRESS on LABOR.
The address Of Mr.. Richard Trevellick. Oh
on the Rights Of Labor, al Civ Hall last
night, was listened to with the most undi
vided attention and unhagging interest bv
those present. lie IS pleasing and enter

animation into ms uliect, entirely reliev-
ing u OF the tediOusuess and hackneyed
phraseology which some persons are iust
generous enough 10 assume necessarily at
taeh to a discussion of the evils under which
the laboring classes writhe.
lie grappled the errors and abuses of leg
islatlon, as ehecting grievous and unwar-
rantGble wrongs upon the great productive
element q the country, in a manner by ne.
means complimentary TO the idler, the pro
teseienai politician, and The hungry horde
OF money getters and specuators, who are
engaged 10 expressing honest labor, and
wrestling from ils natural heritage.
lie riddled and denounced, as unworthy
Of the true manhood of honest workingmel,
that indifference with which they have 90
long looked upon the dishonesty OF rotten
politicians, merely 10 preserve party lines

which the non producing classes are sucking

unrighteous speculation il public lands,
through corrupt legislation, State, and M
tional, they have practically denied the
birthright Of home to many millien, who
are eager and capable to till the soil from

In response to the call on the auiienee.
Dr. L. d. Ford rose III his seat and express
cd himself In warm sympathy with the IN

without affJrding our citizens a second op-
portunity to hear him in his great cause.

limited audience was present, and We are
glad 70 state that the lecturer has consented
| to defer his visit to Atlanta until after a
second lecture in this city. The matter of
arrangement has been placed 10 charge OF q
competent committee, aud due notice oi
place and date will be givcn.-AHgust1
