the National Democracy-which Is the new name,
or rather, the readopted old name Of what used to

last evening at their headquarters, In Union

Tammany Hall inviting this organization to take

In that organization last week, there was consid-
cradle discussion INDUCED In prior to the calling Of
the meeting to order. This discussion, however,
was OF very mild and temperate character,
and the prevailing neutrality-suspicious. in

that, while the national democracy would

against the wind, all attempts to save her were
frutless.

The Pursuit OF the Ring.

We pub 81 with pleasure the arti-

courts Of the country the case of the
plunderers and swindlers who have
brought the Stute to the ruin of it's
finances, and who have so seriously y
damaged all the interests of the Com,
monwealth. We hold that the work
Of the States redemption should ut

Capital and Labor.

Henry Ward Beeoher replies to

Ledger, in the following sensible man

Men talk Of capital and labor as il
thoy we're two essentially different
things. They are in faot essentially
one. If nun builds factory, puts iu
nachiuory, buys raw material, puts

vested his capital. The whole estab.
lishment is capital. If it pays the
whole expense IF running, including
materials, wear and tear, and wages,
and then has something over and
above, that surplus is called earnings.
1t il regarded as fresh capital.

Payments to laboring men should
be at short Intervals, especially when
men have families dependent upon
them. 1t is better to pay in money
than goods or orders. The templa-
tion to make double profits on inferi.
or goods leads selfish men to take ad.
vantage Of their "hands." Although
payment by orders may secure bet
ter goods sometimes than the men
would buy for cash, yet on the other
hand, it leads to oarelsssness and
shiftless management 10 the family.
1t is the :ntsrest of. every employer
that his mep should be intelligent,
thrifty, and good managers in the
household. 1t is bis interest, even if
he works by no higher principle. to
deal justly, promptly, and liberally
with all his work men.

A Journalistic Fisticuff.

One Of the cockney editors OF tho
New York Times recently got drub-
bing from Mr.. Cummings, tho manag.
Ing editor of the Sun, which is thus
pleasantly do,oribed by the hum orist
of the Boston Post:
A day or two ago one. of the
Times editors venturcd inoautiousIy
into the sanctum Of tho Sun, enquired
for MIR. Cummings, the managing edi-
tor, and indicated his disap pprobation
Of q personal article. Upon Mr..
/ Cummings assuming The esponeibili.
ty for said article, the Times editor
casually remarked that Cummings
was a liar, whereupon, after the re.
mark had been repeated, tho manag.
ing editor rose and patted him after
. the manner of Mace, inducing bim to
repose horizontally for q time, and
cultivating ebay window" on his d a IN
ask cheek. Tho Times editor then
Colfaxed hurriedly from the sceno,
and took his grievance iuto the
Courts. This sad event should teach
all young journalists the folly and
wickedness Of giving rein to tho an
cry passions, a moral lesson hitherto
ably enforced by the lamented DE-.

Departure Of Tfoops.

Company D. Seventh United States
Cavalry, under the command Of Cap.
tain Weir, left this place Tuesday
morning last for Opelika, Alabama.
This reduces the garrison at this post
to one oompany-Company H. III gh.
tsenh Infantry.
We have not heard what tho dis.
turbanoe in Alabama is but we sup-
pose it 10 DO that the people are show
ing disposition not to swallow Rudi-
culiSm cheerfully, and need a little
dragooning to bring them Up to the
proper standard.
The departure Of Troop D. was Ger
taihly source of deep regret to one
class Of the community. From the
immense concourse Of colored damsels
that attended them to the cars, and
from the lachrymose, demonstration ut
the depot, it was not unfair to ooa-
clude that the most of tho troop had

Military Arrests.

We announced last week that al
tho time Of going to press tho troop OF
cavalry we're on the western side Of
tho country making arrests. The
!, first exploit Of tho command was the
, capture Of Mr.. +. NJ. Sanders, whom
they found ut the hou o of his father.
in.law, Mr.. A. +. Walker Mr.. San.
ders had been iastown every day for a
week previous To- his arrest, and could
have been captured at my timo.
The effeo:, though, would not havo
been so dramatic as dragging him out
at O'Clock in the mornirg and TAX
ing him alcne as aptisouer Of war.
The company returned from this raid
on Thursday morning bringing with
them, besides Mr.. Sanders, NJ. T. T.
Castles, Richard Woods, William Me-
Collum, Martin Wade, Thomas A.
Anderson, James Darby and Joseph
Sims. Mr.. Sims was roleased after
few hours in Jail it appesring that
he had been arrested by mistake.
Messrs. Woods, MoCollum and Wudr
were kept at headquarters uuJe
guard all day tut wore finally dis.
charged Oh their parole, after havirg
beeu subjected to the accustomed iu.
QUESTION. Mr.. William Lsckie wa.
arrested on Wednesday of last week
and kept in Jail till Saturday when he
was released on bail. Ou Thursday
night another raid was made b, the
cavalry in the Tu,k,y neighborhood,
and the following persons captured,
j. d. Smarr, S. Howell, NJ. Good,
John Jones, John McCarley, j. T.
Love, Lee CASTOR, and Amos ScIifs,
coiored. About the same time de.
tachment trom York arrested and car
ried 70 the Jail at that pl"os Mr. j.
X. Kirkpatrick and his brother John
kirkpatrick. Dariug the week Mr..
Baxter Crosby was arrested near
Landsford and lodged in the Jail at
this place. ...... ...
Mr.. J. Il. Walker was arrested in
Columbia on f. iday last, and released
on bail. Oa Tuesday vf this week
Mr.. I. NJ. Sanders was a.lowed to givo
bail, and was discharged. All the
resi- ot tne unfortunate prisoners are
still in Jail. .,........
1t is proper to state that all tho ar
rests were made by the military nu-
thorities without any prtense Of
acting as on auxiliary to tho United
States Marshal. There was, neither
Commissioner nor Marshal hero. The
arrests, however, we're made on war
rants issued by Commissioner Porteus
when here last December.
These are times when we are all
at the mercy IF arbitrary power, and
1t. probably, therefore would be wise
for us to speak with bated breath.
That every feeling of our heart il in
deepest sympathy with these uufor-
tunate victims ofpolitiosl persecution,
it is hardly necessary for US to say.
