There is no doubt the tragic his
tory of the Polaris will tend to lessin
the desire among the people of the
United States for further Artic
research. The startling termination
of the expedition may, perhaps. sus-
pend for the present the idea of
resuming the project; yet. SO for from
there being anything in the details
published to deter the enterprise as
unfeasible, Halls discoveries have
given fresh impetus to Attic sx-
ploration. 1t is now proved beyond
all question that the coast Of Green
land stretches toward the Pole with
in 300 miles of the MYSTERIOUS spot.
The ''Open Polar Sea- Of Morton
is no more. It is nov known as
Polaris Bay. It was not until the
Polaris was in latitude 80 deg. l6
min. that heavy ice was met, and
there is reason to believe she could
have gone further had the opinions
of those on board not been divided
on the subject. Hall was in favor
of going ahead, and it will forever
be matter of the deepest regret that
the attempt was not made. The
hypothesis that Greenlands is prof.
onged past the Pole has yet to be
determined, but on one point there
can be no mistake that the route
adopted by Hayes and Kane is the
correct one, The danger of Arctic
explorations, moreover, have been
greatly exaggerated. Experience
has taught sound and wholesome
lessons. The days Of navigating ice
laden seas have passed. Haphazard
suggestions in the construction q
ships for battling with the ice would
not how be listened to, while the
severity Of an Arctic winter dwindles
down to nothing whe. counteracted
by the scientific measures known to
explorers of the present day. do
not say that the rigors of the climate
are less terrible than they were two
hundred years ago. but they are
harmless when prepared for. Indeed
The occupants of many tenement
house in the sity of New York suffer
far more keenly the hardships of
winter than would band of intrepid
and experienced explorers in.the vast
wilderness of ice known as the polar
regions. The discovery Of the
North Pole and its mysterious SURF
oundingsis only matter of time.
The question is, who shall be the
first in the race. 1t Is very clear
that the time is fast approaching when
the North Pole will no longer De a
mystery.

In consequence OF local inserted in the city
papers, yesterday (that in the COMMERCIAL be-
INK handed us by Mr.. George Day) a large
meeting OF workingmen gathered in tho City
Halllast evening. 1t was called to order by Mr..
D.y. upon whose motion James Coverdale was
mA1s President and John Tyre Secretary. The
President said he understood its object Ia be
10 devise plans for the benefit OF the working
men, who, in such times as these should stand
by each other. He invited any one who had 8
proposition to come forward AID state his views
Mr. G orgs Day took the stand He said he
had no doubt the meeting was q surprise and the
audience curious to know what plan would be
introduced to benefit the workiuginen. Wher-
ever we go We find the bone and siuew Of the
country diehonored The workngmen are with
out work. and without the means OF subsstence.
What are we to do ? This is a serious inquiry
In looking around he conld a multitude
Of causes which have contributed to bring
sbout this state OF AFT hrs. and No are
Ia some m Asnre resp, ndble for them
He then referred to the sale Of intoxcatng H.
quOrs and spoke OF thA 800 licensed places III
this city which eat up 300 001 Of the workin
mems money, yearly, aud he was afraid many OF
our working meu we're laying their cash upon
the counters OF the liquor dealers, while they
we're running bills of credit with the grocer. the
butcher and the baker He said there were re-
monstrances against the lGansng Of hd1Or sa-
looms lu crcuatioa. aud he hal Win HIN gen
erA rem0nstrNncs which he wanted all 10 COINS
forward and sign.
At the conclusion of Mr. Days remarks
large part of tho audience seeing the DRIFT OF
the meeting, lsft the halt but many others re-
nslned and signed the Temonetr4nces.
Mr. Day made motion to appoint commit
Tee OF three 10 devise some means for the relief
Of the workingmen. George IL jackson sympA
thlzsd with the OBJ ject Of the meeting but thought
that class legislation was one of the greatest
evils OF the day, and that tho workingmen should
do something to check it, He moved an amend
ment which was accepted by Mr. Day to in-
crsase tho committee to ten. The following
named committee was then appointed after
which the meeting adjourned -George W Rob

INTO THE CELLS TWO SUSPECTED LANCASTER BUR-
GLARS.
Officer Wheelan, of the Police Force, and
County Constable George @. Ward brought int ;
headquarters, this morning, two young men
strangers in the city, who are suspected of con :
nection with robbery perpetrated in Lancaster
city, Information was lodged at headquarters
some days ago by the authorities of Lancaster
of the suspected presence here of the robbers,
and very full descriptions of them were given.
So, this morning, as Officer Wheelan was
passing along Fourth street, in front OF the
Swan Hotel he espied two young men whom he
thought answered the descriptions sent on from
Lancaster, and engaged in conversation with
them Finally he stated his business, when
thew attempted to run. Mr.. Wheelan seized
upon one Of the parties, and Constable Gao. O.
Ward, who happened to bs appro aching, inter
cepted the other and a struggle ensued between
them. With the assistance OF another officer
Mr.. Ward oyerpowered his assailant, and the
two young men were led to the cells.
The arrested parties have been stopping al
| the Swan Hotel for two or three days They
registered as Samuel Adams and Albert johnson
