We clip the following complimentary
notice from q lengthy article in the
Railroad and Mine's' Register giving
the proceedings Of the Master Mechan-
les Convention, lately held in Phila-
phia:
"We confess we never were so much
impressed by the aspect of any assem-
bly,. We have sat in the galleries of
senate chambers, in the synods Of the
clergy, at club dinners Of royal socie-
cites of science; but we saw in this
Convention Of master mechanics a
combination Of elements not seen in
them; simplicity OF character combin-
ed with the firm conviction of expert
cnce, earnestness without fanaticism. a
modest maintenance of opinion merely
on the grOunI Of the observation OF
facts, personal dignity without offen,e
70 any man, and directness. terseness,
proprlety and perspicuIty OF utterance
without heat, aud without self lauda-
ton, such as We profoundly believe
would not be witnessed at present in
any other convention and simply on
account OF the exceptional ives these
men have had the good fortune 10 be
born for. We never before saw a
large convention that could sit still :
that was perfectly and entirely polite;
that talked no uOnsense. These men
are true blemen. Such men are the
real rulers Of the republic. These are
the men who enabled the man whom

HELEUA, Oct LIST, 1870.
DEAR SIR,-Your letter and the pro-
ceedings of the National Labor Union.
together with the address, came duly

Endorsing with all my heart the
great labor movement in Europe and
America, shall be glad to accept the
appointment proposed by Mr. Trevellick
for Montana and as soon AS the
authority is sent me will proceed at
once to organize a territorial and sub
ordinate unions, as provided in your

A printer by trade, and a working
man by practice, | have for many years
been favorable to the reforms which

attention of the great body of intelli
gent men Of the old world and the new

Advice Thrown Away.

The Republican Convention of Mass
achusetts, which recently met st Wor.
cester, undertook to read the working
men of that State lecture, and prove
to them that their interests could only
be subserved by an adherence to the
Republican party. Well-well-it is
too bad that the workingmen of the
old Bay State don't believe a word Of
it, and have made up their minds to
rbink and act for themselves.

We may work harmoniously together.

For some time past endeavors nave
becn made to build the road from
Atlanta to Decatur, in Northern Ata,
bama. where the Memphis ana
Charleston and Nashville and DeGa-
tur railroads would be tapped, ana Dy
means of which the State road would
he flanked. The parties who were
expected to build this road were nat
nrally, the city of Atlanta and the
Georgia Railroad Company. Two
contractors had offered to build the
road-one for fifteen thousand dollars
per mile in gold, cash; the other for
twentv-seven thousand dollars per
mile in currency, ten thousand to De
paid cash, and the balance to be taken
in stock and endorsed bonds. The
Directors of the Georgia railroad nave
determined to accept the last oner,
and will pay five thousand dollars
per mile, the city of Atlanta agreeing
TO paw the other five thousand, and a
committee was also appointed 10 man
ace this affair.--BdnRer.

WASHINGTON, April ~. I,
The testimony of Boone, Of your
State, given before the Reconstruc-
ton committee yesterday, is likely to
be the last i'm the Tennessee case. The
Committee will not take any vote Oh
the question of reconstruction or no
reconstruction until after the Georgia
bill is disposed of, and when the vote
is taken, you may rely on it, the revo-
lutionists will not carry their point.
Even poor, decrepid :old Brownlow,
who has heretofore been sanguine
| about the reconstruction scheme, is
now frank enough to own what he is
at last compelled to believe that the
interference bubble is burst. In say
ing all this do not mean to have 1t
inferred that all attempts toward ter
ritorialiZing Tennessee is at an end,
but simply that those in favor of the
scheme form too Insignificant q MI
nority, morally and numerically, to
accomplish any thing. Jerusalem
Smith is still as fussy as ever, but the
more the little villain has to say, the
worse it is for his case, as he is gen.
orally despised. Stokes, Maynard
and Arnell command a little more
respect, but their influence il power
less to accomplish what is so dear to
their hearts. Oflate they have been
piping rather low i'm their claims
compared to their insolent demands
Of a few weeks ago. They now mod.
estly declare they do not want Con.
gress to go any further than to de.
clare the present Legislature illegal
on the ground of fraud in allowing
unregistered citizens to vote. Rad.
ical and all, as Congress is, it under,
stands what these gentry want, and
that is another lease OF power. / re-
peat again, that though the effort viii
be made, the extremists can not mus
ter the strength to carry out their rev
dictionary programme
The action of the Senate on tn,
Georgia bill is bitter pill to Bullock
who wanted his Legislature continu
ed in power until 1872. The bill, al
it came from the Senate, is not exact
ly as Conservatives would have it
but it is much more palatable to then
than TO theRadical faction. The i'm
preston is general that the Hous,
!, will concur in the action of til,
Senate.

The undersigned members of the

life be Is better known in his charac-
ter as lawyer.
II is from such advantages that we
feel warranted, therefore, in volun-
teerino word in his behalf, and IL
placiuS his name before the people of
The state as a suitable person to fill
one of the positions OH the supreme
bench, regarding it as position not
10 be sought nor declined, except IN
obedience to the manifestations ofthe
popular will. an
The supreme bench has been at all
times position of high Importance
but it is especially so at the present;
and must be looked to in the future
more than ever, as the surest conser-
yator of free government and the sale
guard of public and domestic order.
Thus impressed, and not intending
i'm any sense to disparage the quallil-
cations of others, we respectfully re-
commend Judge Nicholson to the ia
yorable consideration of the people
of Tennessee for the position in ques-
ton, he having yielded his consent in
response to the solicitation of our
selves and numerous friends through

his name as candidate for the sup
