WAsHINGToN, May s.-A Committee
of Workingmen, from New York, had
an interview with Secretary Boutwell,

kindly and agreed with the Committee

and orders We're Immediately sent to
New York TO have the law enforced

kindness and courtesy in regard to their
interests. The President said he had
instructed the Attorney General to pre-
pare orders for the immediate enforce
ment of the eight hour law on govern
ment works.

can use as a tool. Charles Francis Adams
would have been altogether too indie
pendent and unpliable for them. He
would not have asked the blacksmith
how to play the organ, and he would
not have turned to the organist to learn
how horse must be shod. His qualifi-
cations would have enabled him to
stand on his feet. Politicians have no

nounced to the court that Mr.. Sawyer

A Foolish Question.

A. S. Asks us to tell him the difference
between the English Common law and our
American Statute Law. II we could live
about fifty years longer-had access to all the
English and American law books, and had the
brain Of Blackstone, We might be able to an
swer him fully, provided he would give US a
fee Of S2O0OO0, PAYABLE in monthly INSTALL
ments. Otherwise, he must excuse IL.
We can answer him very briefly, however,
by saving that the Common Law" is the UNI
written Law, and has come down to us by ira
dition custom, etc, while the statute law Is the
written law Of county, enacted by the law
making power of that country, such as State
Legislatures and the Federal Congress, Parlia-
mcnt, House Of Lords, etc.
