THE LATEST NEWS.

The bricklayers in New York are still
on a strike. The Central Council OF the
Union Order of American bricklayers
met on Thursday night in secret session.
1t was stated that compromise was
suggested, that employers should only
deduct twenty-five cents instead OF fifty
cents from days pay.--Two iron
works in South St. Louis have stopped,
THROWN. about 200 men out OF employ
ment. The Vulcan Iron Works stopped
two of their three furnaces and closed
their rolling mill. They discharged
about 400 men. Other works also
stopped some of their furnaces or dis
charged part of their employees, and
all have reduced wages twenty per cent.
Many manufacturing establishments in
the city have materially reduced their
working force, but not cut down wages.

4 BIG MULE WAGON which was Just
about starting for Walker River from
>!ater's hay yard yesterday morning
suddenly collapsed and dumped its cargo
# -four aud boxes and sacks and bales
upon the ground, much to the disgust Of
the bold teamster III whose charge it was,
and he, having done his peertest to
wrench order ont Of chaos, and being IN
,errupted in the midst Of his iabors BY a
kicking mule, after making some at
tenpts at the pacifcation Of that unru!y
beast finally damned him 70 eternal per-
dition and invited him TO g kick away.
This last was the only suggestion the III
t.actable beast was minded to heed--and
he launched out with as willing q pair OF
heels as ever gave effectiveness 10 the
ungcaceful act of recalcitration.

Mrs. SurIatt's Chains.

Mrs. Jane &. Swisshelm, of Pitts
burg, writes to the New York Times
in contradiction of Generals Hartranft
and Holt, that she knows Mrs. Surratt
was manacled while she was impris-
oned and on trial at Washington, as she
heard the chains upon her ankles when
they were slightly moved. The chains
prevented her lifting her feet, and she
only slid them on the floor. Every
time the chains clanked Mrs. Surratt
blushed painfully. Mrs. Swisshelm
sat very near the prisoner in court,
and says:
Mrs. Surratt sat before or rather
on one side of her judges chained with
links of iron as heavy as those of a
log chain, and while she sat thus, she
was grossly insulted by spectators, men
and women, or things that looked like
men and women. Once she turned
pale when one of these creatures said {:
Il hope they'll hang her! Just look
at her. She looks ike a devil |
could not bear. it, but spoke out and
said: "She does not look like a devil.
She looks like a good, kind-hearted
woman, and you are mean coward
for insulting a prisoner" A man in
reply said to me: She's a rebel, r"
and | repeated, Coward! coward !"
Mrs. Surratt looked up and our eyes
met. The expression of her face will
haunt me to the grave, and / thank
God for the look of gratitude it wore.
Mrs. Surratt's chains were a common
subject of conversation in Washington
at the time, and this morning is the
first time have heard any denial of
the fact that Mrs. Surratt was fettered
as she sat YEARLY through the long
hours and days of that trial.

1T seems to be a very general i'm
preston, that the colered gentry gener-
ally, are organizing with view to fix
ing the prices of their services and to
enforce the demand by refusing to
work except on their own terms. They
are paid now double as much as they
earn, in money, exclusive of the
trouble and annoyance they occasion
their employers, by their Incidence,
irregularity, wastefulness, logged dis
obedience and surly department. These
traits, added to instructive kleptomania,
incline, and often force the wives of
our most prosperous citizens to do
their own kitchen and house work,
rather than submit to such annoyan-
ces. A word of reproof or advice is
followed either by the grossest rude
ness, or sudden departure, and to such
an extent does insulting conduct pre-
vail, that ladies of refined Retrospect
are literally forced to do work for
which they would literally pay, could
they find well behaved, honest and
moderately industrious servants. But
if the negroes organize for the purpose
of making the whites pay higher wages
for insolence, idleness and dishonesty,
we hope there is manly self-respect
enough in the whites, to meet such a
move with a firm determination to
crush it by refusing to hire any one
suspected of being a member of any
such league. When the negroes prove
themselves to be faithful as laborers,
and reliable, as men and women, they
will find the whites ready to advance
their pay according to merit. We
hope the oranges will take this subject
under advisement, and fix the rates
they can afford to pay hands who take
more interest in Radical politics than
in the farm labor, which they contract
to perform. Several of our exchanges
in this State and Mississippi, have
called attention to this secret organi-
cation, and whether it has been noticed
here or not, it is we'll enough to BIO on
our guard

AppOrtiOnment Of $73,375-
Special Reports Wanted.
Nashville Banner, Sept. 3Oth.

The State Superintendent was yes
terday engaged in issuing out blanks to
County Superintendent and District
Directors for special reports of the
progress of work under the new system.
The law requires reports to be made
annually to the State Superintendent,
showing the operations for the year
ending the 31st of August preceding.
This year, however, the State Superin-
trndent has so extended the time, as to
require reports up to the 18th of De-
tober, to be made to him by the 1st of
December, in time for his report to the
Governor on the 10Th of December
According to the law, the scholastic
year in Tennessee begins on the 1st of
September, and closes with the 31st of
August. The State Superintendent
intends that his first report to the Gov
ernor, on the 18th of next December,
shall embrace history of the entire
first scholastic year, from September /,
1873, to August 81, 1874, inclusive.
On next Monday the State Superin-
tendent expects to submit his report
to the Comptroller Of the scholastic
population of the State, for the appor-
tionment of the first semi annual in
stallment of interest on the permanent
fund. This installment fell due the LIST
of last July, and amounts to $73, 1875.
The returns from the counties are not
yet all in, but it is pretty certain the
scholastic population of the State will
overrun 100000.
The following circular, in reference
to a matter of general Importance to
the counties, was also issued yesterday:
STATE SUPERINTENDENT OFFICE, /
September 9th. 1873.
To the County Superintendent
The l4th section of the school law
requires that the County Trustee shall
give bond for the faithful performance
of his duties, with sureties, to be APP
proved by the County Court of his
county, In double the amount of money
that may come into his hands" This
bond is in addition to the regular offic-
ial bond of the Trustee, and, until Civ
en- by the Trustee, he cannot collect
from the Treasurer Of the State the
school moneys that may be apportioned
to his county.
The purpose of this note is to call
your special attention to this matter,
with the suggestion that you make i'm
mediate inquiry regarding the school
bond of your County Trustee. If none
has been executed, it will be we'll to
have it prepared at once, so that it may
be approved by the October term of the
COURT, This may BECOME question of
grave Importance, and merits prompt
attention. Very Respectfully,

Court Clerks of the State was also is.

THE querest idea developed by the

are the cause. The genius who invent
ed it, failed to show in what manner
the work was done, and as we do not
believe the oranges borrowed money
enough from Jay Cook to dust"
him, it must be that fear of their grow
ing power, is acting upon centralised
capital, like Davy Crockett's marks

down without waiting for the unerring
shot. A more plausible theory, we
think, is that the Northern Pacific
road is about to deyelope another Cred

plicity in it and the depreciation of its
bonds, in view of an investigation,
may account for it. The oranges had
about as much to do with it as the
Modoc war, or the transit of Venus.
