The BricIkIayer's Strike.
The action of the Bricklayers, in de-
manding 81 50 per day, has in nearly
forty of the cases been successful. The
bosses making little or no resistance.
Some of the bosses yet hold out, but
there's general understanding that ii
will be granted when the employers
find out that others have acceeded to
the damand. Many bricklayers subside
secretly and are willing to come at the
old rates of 81 90 per day. There
seems to be no general strike among the
Unions, and each man is LETT to work
for the old rates or not, as he chooses
as no general strike is reported. The
granting Of new rate will depend en-
tirely on the supply Of the demand.

into the river naked, in order to avoiC
detection.

thinks there is no lack of harmon,
among the New York Republicans, a
the discord which some men try t.
make always clears up when the elec
ton comes; that the New Orleans mud
die is beyond his fathoming; that th'
Tammany frauds and Orange riots vii
defeat the Democratic party in New
York, and that if we cannot get from
