The Eight Hour 1IovemeI.

BosToN,, May %.
The Boston eight :hour league, at its
meeting at Meionan to-day, discussed
the following principles and resolutions
The labor movement deals with the pow
erty of labOrers as a class. The great
question is how can wages be SO in
creased as to add to their purchasing
power. High wages will be the inevita-
bic result of better opportunities and
institutions for the masses. Labor saw
ing machinery is largely the product of
high wages. Expensive machinery will
not pay its cost of construction and man
agement where low wages prevails.
Rapid and cheap production is the result
of labor-saving machinery. The result
of days labor in America buys more
than the result Of the same amount of
labor in any other country. High wages
resulting from less hours reduces the
cost of production. The first step to-
wards corporation is to render cheap
. labor dcarer. The conditions which
will make cooperation universal will
lift the standard of general intelligence
and comforts 50 far above their present
level, that fraud, oppression, intemper-
ance, prostitution and war will be impos-
sible The most important fact in SOCIAL
science is that eight hours means higher
wages or less poverty.
The resolutions anticipated that the
voting power of the masses will be open
" or covertly assailed in the next Con
stitutional Convention, with propositions
to qualify suffrage, increase taxes, re
duce the number of officers elected by
the people, and that an aristocracy of
wealthy republicans and democrats will
start in these high handed usurpations.
The only hope for purer elections, incor-
ruptible' legislation, less violence, crime
and misrule is a reduction of the hours
of labor, wherever public opinion and
legislation can properly interfere.

MIDDLEBURY, May 70.
On the night of Wednesday, the 21st
inst. a dwelling house owned by Thos
s. Gibson, of Rutland, situated in the
southeast part Of this village, was de-
stroyed by fire. The property had for
merly been owned by Edwins Ostigee,
who, until quite recently, had resided in
this village, and became the property of
ellison only short time since, by war
ranty deed from Ostigee. Soon after
the purchase of the property. ellison had
it insured by Francisco for fifteen hun
dred dollars. The house being unoccu-
pied at the time of the burning, and the
fire being discovered at a late hour in
the night, it became quite evident that
it was the work of an incendiary, and
the officers of the law were at once put.
upon the track in search of the guilty
parties.
They went to Rutland and interview
ed Ostigee, who since the sale to ellison
had lived in Rutland, but the effort to
get any positive knowledge of the affair
from him was in vain. Having, how
ever, some circumstantial evidence which
seemed to point to Ostigee as the guilty
party, he was. arrested and brought
here, and after some time confessed hay
ing committed the deed, but not without
duplicating ellison. ellison was arrested
by Sheriff Trip, and brought to Mid
dlebury last evening, and after request
by N. p. Simons, his counsel, the pre-
liminary examination was held open I'M
til Saturday morning at. s o'clock, to
give ellison an opportunity to get wit
nesses. ellison was placed under 81,
900 bonds for his appearance.
Subsequently Ostigee was .arraignted,
charged with the burning, and waving
examination, was bound up in the sum
of $780, in default of the procurement
of which he was committed to Jail.
ellison now stands charged with burn
ing, or causing the property to be burned,
with intent to defraud the Insurance
Company. J. NJ. Slade, Jr., is attorney

ALLEGED INcENDIARisM-We, yester-
day morning, noted the fact that a house
located in the south part of the village
Of Middlebury, on the road to East Mid
dlebury, aud recently sold by f. Ositgee
to Thomas s. ellison, of this place, was
consumed by fire about three o'clock on
the morning Of the 22d, and that the
building was unoccupied and was, with
out DOUBT, burned by some yillainous in
cendiary
There seems to have been an, after
clap to the fact mentioned in this brief
announcement. The authorities took
the same view of the matter as did our
correspondent, and accordingly traced
Ostigee to Rutland, arrested him here
and returned with linn to Middlebury,
where his examination, on the alleged
charge of arson, took place yesterday.
lie was, also, personally examined in
regard to the affair, and made the
astounding statement that he set the
fire, but that he was hired to do it Ivy
ellison himself. Isaac NJ. Trip, Sher-
iff of Addison county, was in town, yes
terday afternoon and returned to Mid.
dlebury, on the five o'clock train, ac'
companied by ellison and his counsel
The examination of ellison was to have
taken place last evening, but we have
not, as yet, learned the result thereof
or the full particulars of the affair, bu
presume that they will be received
through special dispatch. Ifso, it vii
be foand under its appropriate head.

THE CARPENTERS.

NEW YORK, May %.
Several carpenters quit ten hour shops
on Monday, went to the society's head
quarters and ascertained that the re-
ported action of the society was not full
ly. endorsed by that organization. They
have endeavored to obtain work IN eight
hour shops, but found that they were all
full, and they probably have to return
to their old shops at ten hours labor. 1t
is stated that a man representing him
self as a society carpenter has visited
several shops to-day, threatening those
who are working ten hours. 1t is not
believed now that any general strike will
occur unless the bosses of the eight hour
shops decide to change to ten hours
The recent proposition of builders to
the carpenters society to make nine
hours the compromise, at the present
rate of wages, to last for five years, was
rejected.
