J NO PROGRESS REPORTED.
Meetings Of the Metal Workers, Carvers, Shea
Clerks, German Printers and Stable Men. /.

Yesterday was the dullest one OF the long strike
So many men have fallen away from each organiza-
ton that those connected with the movement
make but little show, and their numbers are lost
amid the whirling, eager throngs upon the streets
OF the city. The small associations OF men In the
minor trades died out early In the movement or
were swallowed up by the larger guilds. These In
turn have become .'dismembered, dsbranched ana
desecrated miserably," by the distractions made
from their forces by popular or cunning manufac-
turers, and by the necessities OF men whose wives
and babies were pleading for bread at home. Many
OF these last would rather submit to what they con-
sidered Injustice nom their employers, and the I'M
just taunts OF their late associates In the reform
movement, than to see their dear ones starve.
Some OF the Unions, at first successful, are now
thrown back into their old position-t0 submit
gracefully to further eXactions or strike agan-by
their employers who, the necessity being removed
which caused them to accept terms, again propose
to dictate them. meeting will be held to-day

fate OF the larger organizations

nobody" is exemplined In the fortunes OF the

The protective union OF this branch Of the trades
held meeting in Orchard street last evening A
number OF new names were placed upon the roll OF
the society, and a long discussion as to
the propriety Of matchmaking previous to
making their demands known to the employers
ensued. No very definite arrangement as to the
course to be pursued in the future arrived at;
but everything was pleasantly argued, and judging
by the manner in which the organization is pro-
crossing 1t Is probable that its members will sue
coed in obtaining realization of their wishes.

CHURCH AND STATE.

An insidious movement has been
for some time gathering atrength
and is now before Congress to secure
an amendment of the Constitution
specially recognising the existence
Almighty God. 1t does not require
sixty ounces Of brain for one to dis
cover that such an amendment would
be followed by Legislation to give it
practical effect--that this would DO
done by the party in power or head
of the Government and that the peo-
pie would soon be coerced TO wor-
ship the God of the Government,
whether it should be tho God of the
Pops---of some ono Of tho Protestant
Churches, or the Pagan Jupiter
Nor is the last so very improbable.
The world sometimes moves back
ward--the human world, We mean,
as witness this effor; to unite Church
aud State and remember, that Rome,
the mistress OF the world. changed a
pagan people to christian by max
ing the latter tho State religion,
while France at recent period at
tempted TO reverse this by the same
process. Vattel congratulates the
inteliigen, world upon the olsen
thralIment Of religious freedom. -
The sages and patriots of our great
Revolution did oil they could to Sc
cure il. Have wo SO fallen, SO far
refrigerated, that No arc ready TO so
back to the era and the torturss Of
the Spanish Inqaisitioni We arc
not surprised that tho Hebrews are
rising against the moyemont--,hey
know what il means; but they are
not more interested in putting it
down than the Catholic or Protest
ant Christian. When the thing gets
aIodgment in the Government there
can be but one organized religion
The rest will find persecution the
order Of the day.
If our readers will reflect a mo-
ment upon this religious movement

strides the government has made to-
