1t is also reposted that detachment OF

nies the truth of these reports, aud gives

marching northward went no further than
Gunivelliers.
1t is supposed the Versailles government
intends TO complete the Investment of the
city, and cut off all communication with

were in active operation at Nenilly and

heard at intervals, and fighting reported

auo euo,e cuts indicate the outlines of
the wards Of this city as they were pre-
vicus to the late reconstruction of them by
the City Council, and as they now exist.
1t will be noticed that out Of the territory
Of the city heretofore divided into FIVE
wards, six have been made and the at
tention Of our citizens is respectfully
called to the popularity of the change, to
the singular inatiention to any regularity,
to the especially crooked and ill-shaped
formation OF them. And though the un-
initiated may be at a loss to divine a
reason for the tortuous mesnderings of the
Council in laying them off, those familiar
with the politics of this city ind an easy
solution of it. 1t will be noticed in the
cut "as it was" that the city was divided
by nearly parallel lines, running in
northerly and southerly direction. 1t
must also be remembered that large por-
tion Of the Republican vote resides in the
northern part Of the cty-in the suburbs
the party being largely composed of the
working classes, who usually live in those
portions of every city for reasons of
economy.
To defeat the force and effect of such
votes, and increase the power Of the rich,
in order that they may control, regardless
of their actual political strength, the
Council determined to form a rew ward of
the entire northern suburbs of the city and
proceeded to do it in the most dabolically.
offensive and shameless manner possible,
and utterly disregarded everything but the
certainty of success of their scheme. 1t
must also be remembered that at the last
election in the third precinct of Jefferson
ward the Republicans had majority of
about three hundred, which made the
ward Republican, and to prevent such
recurrence that majority must be disposed
Of, and hence the line that marks the
boundary of tho new ward (Jaekson is
thrown in very tortious manner around
the said precinct, and from the arms Of
Jefferson is torn the offensive majority
(which last year was disposed Of by break
ing up the ballot-box and destroying tie
ballots), and the whole thing is scooped
into Jackson ward, the common maelstrom
for Republican voters Of the city,
Marshall ward was guilty at the last
election of having Republican majority
of 81 then the majority was disposed OF
by the perfdeous trick Of requiring Re-
publican voters TO number their ballots,
then throwing them out as illegal votes be-
cause they vere so numbered.
This time the Republican majority is to
be disposed of by changing the boundary
of the ward from Twenty fifth to Twenty
fourth street for distance Of six OF seven
blocks In order 70 take In particular
locality where reside about sixty Conserva-
tive voters. Attention is likewise called
to the relative size Of the wards Jackson
has dispsolagtionaie amount Of territory,
and also a Republican majority Of about
500.
Thus it is intended by this gerrymand-
ering process 20 rob the Republican
party Of its majority, to steal from the ma
jority of the people of Richmond their
right to control the government of the city,

THE LABOR PROBLEM.

Mr.. Hoar, representative from Massa-
chusetts, will be remembered as an original
legislator if he never achieves any higher
fame. The national education bill, which
has been SO sadly neglected by Congress,
was his inspiration, aud now he again
comes to the front with no less novel
proposition relative to the reciprocal in
forests of employers and laborers, and
suggesting solvent of the labor problem.
This bill of Mr.. Hoar's provides for the
appointment Of commission of three
persons by the President, with the consent
of the Senate. The commission is to hold
Office for Two years from the date of its
appointment, and shall investigate the
subject of wages, the hours of labor, the
division Of the joint profits of labor and
capital between the laborer and the capi-
talist, and the educational, social and
sanitary condition of the laboring classes,
and how the same are affected by existing
laws. The commissioners are to receive a
salary of five thousand dollars per annum,
and at the conclusion of their duties are to
report to the President and Congress.
There is much in this bill to recommend
1t to the thoughtful people of the country.
The proposed commission would undoubt-
edly accomplish much good-not only iu
the statistics and information it might COM,
pile, but in the suggestions that Congress
would learn from them. THERE'S proba-
bility, too, that its labors might result in
complete elucidatiop OF the labor pro-
blem=-a consummation devoutly to be
wished for ip these tronblons and threaten
ing times.
