THE LABOR STRIKE AND ITS RESULTS.
From the N. Y. Times.l
To-day a considerable proportion Of the men
bers Of the following New York trades will be
out on strike; The bricklayers, the inssons,
the cabinet-makere and ioinegs the carvers, the
upholsterers and the plumbers. IL IL quite posi-
ble 10 overate the strength of the movement
but there can hardly be less than 4, 600 men who
have betaken themselves to voluntary ideness
in order to coerce their employers into reduc-
ton of their hours Of labor. One result of a
movement like the present VIII probably be to
increase the advantages of employing machiRe-
~ in every possible department OF the trades af-
fected. This will, Of course be favorable to the
supremacy of large capitalists in such trades,
and will tend to the extinction OF the class of
small employers. In this way the men are work.

already existing between employers and employ

transition from workman to "boss" infinitely
more difficult than it is. and toward the creation
of class who will be much more formidable OPP

listing.
Nh. dREELEY's STRENGTH AT HOME.
IFrom the N. Y. World
The astounding nomination made at Cncin-
natl has been long enough before the people of
this great State to enable us to form toerable
Judgment Of the acceptance it is likely to meet
with our people. New York s the State in
be strongest. In the first place. ii is the State
OF his residence, where he ought to be popular
if anywhere In the next place. this ID the only
State in which there is a well-marked formida-
BILE sehism in the Republican party, For the
last two Or three years, the New York Republi-
cans have been split into the Oonkling wing and
the Fenton wing; Mr. Greeley acting with the
latter 1t is thefore to have been expected,
when MIR. Greeley was nominated at Cincinnati,
and his nomination publicly approved by Senator
Fenton in warm letter of cOngratulation. that
there would be strong and imposing Rspubli
can Endorsement in this State. But, in point of
fact, he has received no Republican indorse-
ment whatever. The Tribune is the only Repub-
lican journal in the State that hangs out the
Greeley flag. In the third place, it would have
been supposed that here in New York, il any
where, Mr.. Greeley would be warmly Endorsed
by the colored citizens. In the full flush of his
recent nomination, he went up to Poughkeepsie
to make an address to the colored citizens, and
only SIX or seven negroes came to hear him.
On white Republicans and black Republicans
alike, his nomination has fallen fiat. As yet. he
has no strength in this State except from
ring" Democrats.

TUESDAY Afternoon. May III.
TIE MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA BoUNDA-
RY DsPUTE-H0w 1T OUGHT TO BE SET

ALhDa
The Commissioners appointed by Maryland
and Virginia to adjust the boundary dispute be-
tween those two States, meet, this week, at Girls
field, for the purpose of taking evidence, and
making further effort to come to a settlement.
Whether this result will be possible, however,
remains to be seen.
In fact, the difference in the claims of the two
States seems to be very wide, IL not absolutely
irreeoncilable. 1t is conceded on both sides that
the beginning Of the original boundary line, on
the Chesapeake side, was at place called Wat
klns Point, but the question warmly disputed is
as to the precise location Of that important geo.
graphical mark. The Maryland Commissioners
declare it to be what is known as Fox's Island,
few miles below Crisheld, while the irrepressi-
bic Henry A. Wise, on the part of Virginia, in
sists that what is now called "Fox's Point, is
the true watkins Point" If Wise's claim be
admitted, it cuts of part Of the town OF Crisfed,
with it's harbor, and nearly all Of the celebrated
Pocomoke and Tangier oyster region, and throws
them into Virginia
The fact is, says the crisfsld Iader, that the
probabilities are that the much sought Point"
was an alluvial deposit which has quietly slid off
on the lea scupper Of northeast gale, or drop
ped ont into tie Sound and become the founda-
ton for an Oyster Rock
Proceeding under these diseouraging circum-
stances, the strong prospect is that the Commits
sioners will dispute unfortunately and draw
great many days pay from their respective
States, in fruitless efforts at reconciling their
claims. Meanwhile the bitter feuds among the
oystermen and fishermen, produced by these
territorial quarrels will be maintained collisions
will continue, blood will flow the worst spirit
will exist among neighbors who ought to be
friends, and the oysters and fish will suffer, as
they have done.
The remedy for these differences will be PEN
insular Union. Then all disputes about terrific
rial lines would cease to exist. Nature has en-
closed the Peninsula within boundaries, broad,
plain, and not to be mistaken. The great Ocean,
and tho two noble Bays bound its territory in a
unity Of interests, homogenity of soil climate
and people. 1t ought to be one in government,
as it is in geography. And we are glad to say
that this conviction is gaining strength among
its people.

1t has become plain that the nominations
made at Cincinnati have been far more democrat
izing to the Democratic Party than to the
Republican. Among the latter, there is abso-
lutely no difference of opinion-in no quarter,
outside of New York City is there single evil
dence Of any split - from the regular party
organization, On the other hand, the Democracy
are cut adrft, and serious controversy has sprung
up in several quarters, as to their best policy.

Gates, and it is now reported that even Horatio
Seymour is one Of them.
