CONVICT LABOR.
Action of the Ulnoinnatl Labor

Action of the Cincinnati Labor Union.
At meeting OF the Cincinnati Labor Union held
recently the following preamble and resolutions
were adopted
Whereas, on Monday, November 90 1870, Mr.. John
+. Bell, President OF the Board of Directors OF the
County and City WoTkhouse, informed the public,
through the city press, that the said Board Of Drec
tors were preparing bills for the consd Grafton OF
the Legislature of Ohio to increase the terms OF
Imprisonment TO three years, thereby enabling
them (the drectors) to furnish skilled
convict labor for Miles Greenwood's machine,
blacksmith, aud moulding shops, w. q. Rogers
shoe shop, and Others, thus enabling said directors
TO undeTsell the honest industry OF the country,
compelling a reduction Of the price OF labor, and
its consequent increase OF poverty and crime there
fore, be It
ResOlUed, That the aforesaid scheme OF the Board
of Directors of the said WoFkhouse, in our opiniOn,
is unworthy OF the pamlest days Of human slavery,
and that such persons who far forget what is due
to humanity unit tor the honorable position
they now occupy, and we demand that they be inn
mediately removed by the public authorities, ard
their places nled by men who will not allow them
selves to he used by spectators who seek To in
crease their wealth through the misfortunes and
crimes OF others.
Re6Olccd That the members OF the Ohio Legislature
be requested to treat the proposed bills OF said di
TectOrs with the merited contempt such Infamous
schemes deserve.
ReSOlr6d, That will hold all State officers, men,
bers OF the Legislature, and local Otcers TO strict
accountability, and viii reward them accordingly

SCENES AT METZ.

Condition of the Fortress After the Surrender.
A correspondent OF the London NetcS writes from

filthy, dirty state and every hotel crammed with
Prusslans. TINS morning about ut O'Clock, one OF

seen to enter the magazine with pipes in their
mouths. made my way there this afternoon.
"During my journey came across a number of
miserable looking wretches, pictures of despair and
starvation, in charge of some German soldiers.
There were huddled together in what had once been

me that they had been prisoners in the fort and

but soon met with strong guard of soldiers who

the majority Of the forts are mined.

HORRITIC PREMATURE BLAST.
Five Men Killed ana several Wounded.

The lew 0rk Herald TO-DAY sayS:-
While the. men employed by James Sanderson,
Seventh avenue, at 145th street. were yesterday
stamping sapd blast, the powder contained in the
cavity suddenly exploded, throwing the earth in
huge clods to the height Of many feet and minging
stones and rocks in shower OF dust, which formed
huge cloud IN the air. and for some time concealed
the more terrible
FEATURES OF THE DISASTER
The people employed on distant portions of the
work ran toward the place where the explosion
occurred while those nearer by ran away, and a
scene OF the utmost confusion ensued. Shouts and
screams were heard in every direction, and those
in closest proximity heard, mingled with them, the
groans OF
THE WOUNDED AND DYING.
AS as the excitement occasoned by the
sound and the shock had partially .abated a crowd
rushed to the front, where the blast had been made
and found there a sight which would appal the
most stout hearted. Three OF their friends aud
late comrades were found near the place of the
blast, their bodies so horribly mutilated as to be
almost unreCogniZable They were torn in frag-
ments, blackened in the smoke and begrmed with
dirt, while even the stones about the place were
black and bloody The features OF the dead, where
it was possible to distinguish them, were contorted
ghasuy, and repulsve in the last degree. Among
them were discovered Patrick Smith aud Richard
Knox, while Dennis Hennesy, Patrick Gillian, Reu-
ben Pepper, and John Darcy were lying near, some
OF them seriously and some fatally injured.
AS soon as the news OF the explosion could
be conveyed to the Thirty-second Precinct
Staion-house officers were detailed 20 render assist
ance to the wounded and bring In the dead. Dr.
Ely at once repaired TO the spot, and physicians
were sent for from all available points in the neigh
borhood. Stretchers were carried by tie officers
and the wounded and dying men were speedily con-
veyed to the station.
Some OF the dead were so crushed as to present
only mass OF bloody matter In addition to the
dead and wounded brought ill., Ithree men are sup
posed to have been buried underneath the debris of
stones and earth, and these cannot possibly be
recovered till morning. a number or wounded
were conveyed at late hour to Bellevue Hospital
where they were visited by q Herald reporter,
and the statements Of those able to converse were
taken.
They say that the explosion took place without
the slightest warning and in the twinkng OF an
eye That they remember nothing mere than being
struck down by the shock, wounded by stones, and
enXeloped in smoke and dust.

We are psined to record the death OF the Young

half the Institution has been deserted by very
nearly all Of those who assisted in its formation
four years ago and the burden OF sustaining the
organization has fallen on a few young members
WhO however willing, were unable to bear the un-
equal burden. Its few friends struggled hard with
the tide Of reverses that were slowly but surely
overwhelming them; but they, at last have been
compelled 10 succumb. The association held Il
meeting last Monday evening, at which a report was
received from a discreet committee who had been
previously appointed 90 consider the whole matter
This report was reluctantly adopted by the meeting
and is as fOows:-
Whereas, The association has failed to secure the

CABINET CHANGES.

TheiRum0red Retirement Of Secretaries Bout
well and Alderman.
The New York 1rtbuneS Washington cOrrespon-
dent writes:-
The appointment OF General Pleasanton instead
OF Mr.. Douglass as Commissioner of Internal heve-
nue. gives rise TO an apparently well-foU nded belief
that Pennsylvania Will ere long be represented in
the Presidents Cabinet. The PennsylYanians have
long been pressing for some substantial recognition
from the President and it is believed that il Gene
raj Grant had not deemed to give Pennsylvania a
Cabinet position, he would have given the Internal
CommissiOnership TO Mr.. Douglass. There is
good deal of talk in regard TO the possibility of
Colonel Forney succeeding Mr.. Creswell as Post
master General and the latter being sent Minis
ter TO Russia in place OF Governor Curtin, OF Penn
sylVania, 10 Prussia in place OF Mr. Bancroft. The
withdrawal Of Senator CaTtell, or New Jersey, from
the for the United States Senate gives rise
10 what appears a not uniOunded rumOr that
Secretary R0besOn will enter the field as
a candidate for the Senatorshp, and that he
will be backed, not only by his personal friends but
by the supporters OF Senator Cattell. III successful
he will retire from the CABINET, which will give the
President. another opportunity OF granting the de-
m3nds of the nsSivanians. la this connection
Mr. FOrney is mentioned for Secretary OF the Navy
and also lndge ScOheld, OF Pennsylvania, who is
the present Chairman OF the House Committee on
Naval Affairs.
Itis understood that Attorney General Akerman
VIII he candidate l9r the senatorship in the
Cabinet in Mr.. Akerman is elected, will, It is
stated on good authority, be rendered to Senator
Williams, OF Oregon, whose term expires on March
4. His appointment will be satisfactory 20 the Re
pubcans Of California and Oregon, by whom he is
considered the strongest man ON the Pacidc coast,
in giving the next Oregon Legislature 10 the Repub-
hcans, and in returning Senator Williams TO his
seat IN the senate In 1872 in place Of COrbett.
Among the other strange Cabinet fumOr5 circu-
lating tonight is that Secretary Boutwell, will soon
retire from the Treasury Department, and tnat Mr..
DelanO will succeed him, but these reports have
been aOat so long, with no nearer prospect OF full
Dlment, tnat the public will justly hesitate to credit
them.

Five COhVicts Escape from Their Cells, but are
kecnpInred.

The Nashville American Of the 18th inst. says
Several jail deliveries have OF late been recorded
by our exchanges in various parts OF the state, and
last Friday night an attempt 10 escape from the pen
tentiary here came near proving successful.
According TO our Information, negro nurse un-
bOlted the door OF several cells, and five prisoners
escaped and went into the cOlOred hosp tai on
making his rounds, the turnkey reported to the
night Natchn an that quite a number of the cells
had been unbO' ted. Search was at once made, and
ii was discovered that five negro convicts had left
their cells ana gone into the colored hospital where
they were found at work with tools, endeavorng TO
make AN opening in the prison walls. They had
with them codchisel, screw driver, and chisel
that had been used in turning heads for buckets,
and had only succeeded in removing the pastering
when they were discovered. The prisoners were
at once secured and returned to their cells.
