THE LABOR QUESTION.
unemployed workmen in CounciI,

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.--One thousand I'M
employed worlIingmen assembled in
Union Square to-day. The Chairman ad-
vised the men not to be too hasty, but to
organize on the spot and proceed at once to
the City Hall and await the reply of the
Controller and Board of Aldermen to
their demands. They ought to take no de-
Mai if they wished for success.
The next speaker, one Mcguire, coun-
selled the men to be sober and law-abid-
ing, and said if the demands were not ac-
ceeded to to by fair means, then force must
be resorted to. A committee of five was
appointed to wait upon the Mayor and
Controller, after which the men started in
a body for the City Hall.
The workingmen reached the City Hall
shortly after eleven o'clock, and after wait
ing u heightened period were unable to see
either the Mayor or Comptroller. A COM
mittee of five was appointed at Union
Square this morning and then visited sew
eral offices, but failed to obtain any inter-
view with any heads of departments. Az
! ter a few addresses denouncing the action
of the authorities and resolving to hold o
grand demonstration on Thursday next,
| the crowd dispersed.

Temperance Matters in the Country.

EDITORS CHRONICLE On New Years
evening, the members of Mount Olive Di-
vision, No. l. Sons of Temperance met at
Mount OIiye Church fer tho purpose of
publicly installing their officers for the en-
suing quarter. Notwithstanding the in
clemency of the weather, a large crowd of
ladies' and gentlemen were present.
We had very interesting speeches from
Mr.. f. S. Willoughby and Rev. w. l..
Cottrell, on the cause, effect and cure of
intemperance.
After the speaking, ID. c. w. p, j. H.
Simpson, assisted by the Grand Conductor,
proceeded to install the following officers
elect; Rev. w. i. Cottrell, w. p; w. N.
Heigons, w. A; r. q. Fleniken, A. r.
s.; l. A. Maxwell, f. s.. Abr. Maxey,
t.; ]. G. McCarroll, Chap. c. NJ. Sum
mers, Con-. A. Summers, A. c.. J. H.
Simpson, o. S. The absence of two Off
GERS prevented their being installed.
After the installation, Rev. Z. B. McCar.
rell addressed the audience, who was fol-
lowed by Mr.. J. NJ. White, after which the
meeting closed.
The spectators seemed we'll pleased with
the exercises, and we think the meeting
will not be void Of good results.
We hope Mount Olive Division will ere
long well deserve to be called No One.
May our noble order long live to rescue
and save the fallen.

The State Press on the Memphis Election.
The Nashville Banner says

The Nashville Banner says:
The Republicans were successful in the
Memphis municipal election. Jno League.
the newly elected Mayor, Is a banker. OF
Irish birth, who is pretty popular with all
classes, and deservedly so, we believe. In
addition to getting the solid negro vote, the
Irish rallied in large force to his support.
Mr.. Leagues Republication is of the quiet
and conservative kind.
The Jackson Wing and Tribune, which
takes bourbon straight" says
"This result takes no one by surprise.
The peoples party into whose clutches
Maj. Busby committed his fortunes, proved
to be miserable sham, as will be the case
throughout the State during the present
year Had the Democratic party met in
convention, organized and made q square
fight, their nominees could have been elect
ed. The supreme cowardice Of its leaders
has brought untold disasters upon Mem
phis, has saddled it with corrupt ring,
and will open up an era in Jobs and
swindles hitherto unknown in her his
tory
The Appeal in an editorial addressed to
foreigners says:
In the recent election they banded to-
gether, organized themselves into q know
nothing party, and supported each other
as if the native-born people were their
SuSiuiCS, OpiJOsGW 10 lllelE OIliCp, OF
had never elected them to office. Leading
foreigners of all nationalties should turn
their influence to good account by remind
ing their countrymen of the impolicy of
banding together. Thy can do far more
than any stranger, however ample that
strangers means may be, however benev-
client his intentions, toward crushing out Il
policy which, if persisted in, will revive
the old hatreds between foreigners and ma
tive Americans
The Avalanche warmly denies that it
was Republican victory, and adds:
The result teaches that our most intel
ligent and discriminating people have
learned the lesson oftrue independence that
in contests not properly involving politi-
cal issues, they are determined to act upon
their own Judgment rather than in obedi-
ence to a partisanship whose highest
claims to consideration are best illustrated
| in praising that to-day which it will de-
nounce tomorrow, and so on to the end of
| the chapter. Whether, in filling non
| political Office, man be a Democrat,
! Conservative or Republican, is inmate
rial, if his record be that of mental and
! moral fitness.
