The power OF the Crispins to rule the shoe
business In Lynn, Mass, is likely now 20 be put
to severe test AS stated in a telegram to Sat
urdsy 5 STAR, Fifty of the leading shoe manu-
iaeturers OF thstcity, representing sevep-eighths
OF the capital, have signed a paper, agreeing
not to employ member of the Crispin order in
any work or part OF the work connected with
the manufacture of shoes. This action locks
out about loco men, The strike commenced
some two weeks ago. II the remaining 150 shops
should join the other fifty firms over $500 sd.
ditiOnal men will be thrown out of employment.
These men have been making from SIS to so
per week, and some few edge trimmers have
been earning 81 per day. The pittance of Sc
per week to each striker from the societies will
not support such families as have to rely upon
AZ entirely, for prices of living generally are
about as high in New England as here, and
the price OF meats fifty per cent. higher.
Two years ago the shoe man ufacturers of LYNN
first recognized the existence of a Crispin Or
ganizstion, and conferred with that body by
sending i've OF their number to meet fve of the
Crispins and arrange prices for the ensuing
year a list of prices was fixed upon, which was
held as binding upon both parties, and at the
end OF the year the manufacturers expressed
themselves as satisfied, and the same list was re-
adopted by the Crispins and again accepted by
the manufacturers, and thus another year passed
amicably away. This meeting of employers and
employees on equal terms, and agreeing upon
prices by representatives of each party, was a
wise, easy and equitable way Of settling all diff
culties, which it was hoped would be a prece-
dent for the future. The Crispins met in mass
meeting last month and again adopted the old
list of prices; but the manufacturers refused
TO let the fix the rates, claiming that the Girls
pins had Lot controlled their own organic alton,
some OF their number working at prices below
the established rates. The result was the strike
now IN progress. Already some of the manufac
turers are sending OFF their work to the interior
towns ia Maine and elsewhere, where the CriS-
pins do not control the workmen.
The strikers have million and a half in the
Lynn savings banks, the use OF which enures
principally to the manufacturers. This they
propose to withdraw by way of retaliation for
the combinations against them. With million
and ahalf capital the Crispins might cooperate
pretty efiectualiy and leave the bosses out in the
cold, but then there is the danger that the banks
could not stand the sudden pressure, in which
event the working people would be the sufferers
and lot their employers.

The AMERICAN INSTITUTE FAR.-There will
be gala time to-day at the Rink, on Third
avenue, it being the opening of the forty-ninth
annual exhibition of the American Institute
Our mechanics and manufacturers will, doubt
less, be well represented on the occasion, both
in person and by their works. 1t is to be
hoped, however, that there will be more atten-
ton paid by the managers to the true interests
of the fair and less to the chronological
poetry that was the distinguishing charaoteris-
tic of the last exhibition. There were many
complaints made last year, and the grave
Solons that preside over the destinies Of the
Institute are expected this time to place no OBJ
stacle In the path Of the laudable objects of
the exhibition, but to encourage and further
our mechanical and manufacturing interests
by impartiality towards oil exhibitors. Judging
from the extensive preparations going on it
may be presumed that the present exhibition
will surpass oil its predecessors in variety of
machinery and completeness Of appointments.

Judge i3edford's Charge to the Grand

Judge fedford's Charge to the Grand
~. 80 Jury.
At the opening of the General Sessions
yesterday the City Judge delivered his charge
to the newly sworn Grand Jury. He called
their attention to the several matters which the
statutes place specially under their jurisdic-
ton, and particularly pointed out the profess
sional burglars. Feloniously entering build
ings at night by force or by means of false
keys, for plumber, they carry deadly weapons
to assure the success of their enterprise, and
do not scruple at murder if necessary to COM
plete '.job." As he justly said, these crimi-
nails "carry murder in their hearts and are
most dangerous to the community. They
ore to be treated with promptness by the
officers of justice and provided with speedy
trials and long terms in the Penitentiary.
It is to be relentless war against housebreakers.
They will do well to reform or emigrate The
Judge also alluded to another matter which the
HERALD frequently ventilates--immigran
swindling. Such On unmitigated wretch as
will rob immigrants who flee from hard and
hopeless lot beyond the ocean to this land Of
promise, bringing stout hearts and willing hands
to work for the general good while seeking
personal profit, is mean enough for any crime
and deserves oil the penalty the law
provides. They come to us strangers, often
ignorant of our language, and always unin-
formed of the means to protect themselves
from the wiles of sharpers. Every honest man
should be their guardian and every hand
should give them helping welcome. Let
those who would wrong them beware. New
York law and her Courts will surely and
heavily visit their offences. .

By telegraph from Mexico City we are in.
formed that the people Of the neighboring
Republic have lately escaped the infection Of o
very serious disaster in consequence of the fire
which occurred in the palace of the National
Congress, and of which q brief report was
made at the moment. The building was COM
pletely destroyed, but the archives of State
were removed to place Of safety. A quantity
of explosive and other in1ammable material
was also got away in season to avert still
more serious consequences. The disaster
was caused through the carelessness
of workman, pretty much as has been the
case at Canterbury Cathedral, England.
Iturbide's sword, the hilt of which was thickly
studded with diamonds is said to have been
stolen during the confusion. The Mexican
Republic appears to be undergoing slight
renewal of the popular agitation. Juarez' 6
memory was honored by the hold
ing Of Masonic Lodge of Sor-
row, the ceremonial being conducted
with imposing solemnity. Distinguished
respect has just been paid to the reputation
of the Mexican troops who fell at Cherubusco
during the war with the United States
Soldiers of the line stationed ct Guanajuato

robbed the public treasury-feats which afford
proof that the 'ruling passion remains strong
in the country even under the ameliorating
rule Of Lerdo. @1 ~

gould be justified by facts. Such a society as

1be benefit TO the toiling millions, and even

Yesterdays ELECTION in Vermont resulted
in decided administration victory. There
Fas no doubt that Converse would be
elected, but his majority is much larger
than even republicans had hoped for, and
is probably something between twen-
fy-fve and twenty-seven thousand. The
vote polled was exceptionally large,
but the general interest thus shown
An the contest did not degenerate in a single
Instance into disorder Everywhere, indeed,
The struggle was conducted In spirit of the
most kindly good nature, and quips and jests
plentifully enlivened the solemn duty of cast
ing ballots. The Senate is republican, with
only one possible exception, and in the House
there are but five democrats and one
liberal Both parties did their best to
>win, and the result is therefore very signif-
cant The verdict of the people of Vermont
is, most undoubtedly, that General Grant shall
remain in the White House for q second term.
