The ENGLISH AGRICULTURAL LABoRERs
The strike among the agricultural laborers in
England begins to show signs which encourage
the belief that the end is not far distant. As
the harvest season approaches the power of
the masters becomes more apparent. Tho
lockout has proved much more effective than
at first was believed possible. The Laborers'
Union Committee have decided that the locked.
out laborers in the eastern counties must ac-
cept the alternative of emigratlng to Canada,
or depending on their own resources. This
resolution has been come to because tho
gentlemen of the Union Committee feel that
they are no longer justified in appealing to
the public for support. Emigration to Canada
is not popular among the English laborers.
This is the less to be wondered at, as Mr..
Joseph Arch, the oracle of the agricultural
laborers has spoken Of Canada in terms the
very reverse of encouraging. The presump-
ton is that the harvest season will sec the end
of the lockout Left to themselves the men
will seek employment the masters will mako
their own terms, and thus another strike will
have ended disastrously to the workingmen.
Another victory for the masters, however,
does not imply that the fight will not be re-
eu1ned

STREET DISTRACTIONS. Mr.. Schaffer, Super
intendent Of the Bureau of Encumbrances, says
that his department has been practically sus-
pended during the past few months, owing to
the persistent refusal OF the Comptroller to
pay the expenses of the removal of street OBJ
structions, although obliged to do so by law.
The financial Gar Of the city seems to hold
the law in very little reverence, as he is con-
stantly running foul of it. Meanwhile un-
slightly signs extend across every street and
the sidewalks are rendered impossible in many
places, and all because there is no money to
pay for the removal of such nuisances.

or town in the Safe. 1t might be imagined
that even students In political economy would
understand the injustice and inexpediency of
establishing SO dangerous precedent as in
equality in tax.tion, and yet men charged
with the important functions of assessing the
property of the State allow their jealousy of
this city to so blind them to the principles of
right and justice that they insist on continuing
vicious and unsound system. 1t will be
seen by the report that, while the assessments
on personal property in the country districts
have only increased about fifteen per cent in
thirteen years, the increase in New York dur
ing the same period has been seventy-seven
and half per cent. This is sufficient answer
to those who pretend that New York does not
contribute her fair share of taxation to the
State expenses.

TIE GREAT UNION MEETING on MONMOUTH
BATTLE FIELD.-Our patriotic readers, we are
sure, will peruse with interest and pleasure
the special report which we publish this morn
ing of the reception Of the Fifth Maryland
regiment yesterday, and of the honors show
cred upon it in behalf of the State, the people
and the soldiers of New Jersey, at Freehold
and on the famous revolutionary battle field
of Monmouth. The spirit Of patriotic har-
mony and fraternity which governed this re-
markable assemblage of republicans and dem
ocrats, of Northern and Southern men, of
Union and Confederate soldiers, in the name
and for the cause of the Union, is certainly
calculated to make the day of this cordial
meeting on the historic field OF Monmouth
memorable in our political history.

The INDIANS. The usual contradictory re-
ports from the frontier leave us in doubt
whether or not the tribes seriously contem-
plate general war. Agents see the same
events with different eyes, and very little re-
lance can be placed on their reports or state
ments. 1t is evident from the number of out
rages reported from the distant settlements
that unusual agitation exists among the In
dian tribes. 1t is useless to argue with these
hot-headed warriors. The only way to keep
them within bounds is to make them under
stand that any acts of violence they may COM
NIT will be punished severely and promptly
by the army. A volley Of rifle bullets has
more effect than all the speechifying long
winded peacemakers may address to the
scalp-taking warriors

A Few Words 70 tho Kidnsppers %
Little Charley.


The abduction of poor little Charley Ross
does not appear likely to yield profit to tho
perpetrators of the crime. The notoriety
given to the affair, the means of the bereaved
parents, the time that has elapsed since the
child was stolen, all render it unlikely that
the sum demanded as ransom, or indeed that
any money whatever will be paid for his res.
toration. The sense of the community is
opposed TO such compromise, and even the
sad alternative of the death of the little inno-
cent would be preferred to the terrible evil of
allowing the criminals to succeed in their
object and thus encouraging repetition of the
crime Every heart would bleed for Charley's
parents, it is true; but better that one family
should be thus stricken than that every family
should be exposed to q similar danger.
word Of advice to the cruel men who
have caused all this misery does not seem now
out OF place. We presume them to be calcu.
lating villains, who will adhere remorselessly
to their plan so long as there may be the
slightest prospect of securing money, but who
will not heedlessly incur risk They are
not the sort Of ruffians to crafty revenge
when they find themselves foiled, if by so
doing they increase the chances of detection
or the penalty to be paid in case detection
should come. They would gain absolutely
nothing by taking the life of poor little
Charley. murder would be difficult to
cover up and would insure the hanging of
the murderers if they should be discovered.
The living child could be turned loose in
dozen safe way S, and on his restoration the
hunt after the kidnappers would prob
ably cease At all events, if afterwards
found their punishment would only
be imprisonment, and the fact of the restora-
ton would no doubt be successfully pleaded
in mitigation of the sentence. Under these
circumstances we think we may safely appeal
to the seltishness and common sense Of the
men who have Charley Ross in their posses
sion to restore him at once to his parents.
Should they delay until their arrest takes
place, with the child still in their possession,
the people will take it for granted that mur-
der was intended and the utmost penalty Of
the crime will be exacted.
The SARATOGA RACES. The second day Of
the races under the auspices OF the Saratoga
Association passed off successfully, the weather
yesterday being favorable, though the track
was little heavy. Under the influence of the
fine weather the beau monde turned out and
enjoyed the spirited contests between tho
favorite stables. Seven horses started for the
Alabama Stakes, the race being won BY
Regardless, o flly that before the start
was not looked on with much favor.
The organization of these popular sports will
do much to increase the attrnctiveness Of Sara
toga by giving that variety and excitement
which is so essential to the thorough enjoy.
ment of life by our pleasure-loving people.

Sener unanimously to the people
of the district. The blacks will
not be likely to relish very keenly
the action Of the committee in TAX
ing the nominations out of their
hands and thus preventing them
from defeating Mr.. Sener in con-
vention. II remains to be seen
whether they will allow the commit
tee to ride over them as it has done
without a word of protest, OF
whether they viii support some
self-nominated candidate whose
views on the civil rights question
are unobjectionable. The way
Sener has been put in the field as
a Congressional candidate ought to
suggest something TO salary-grab-
bing Republican Congressman
All that is necessary for them to do
to have the Congressional track
clear is to induce the district COM
mittee not to call a convention and
leave the field to them, at the same
time recommending them to the
people. This plan, however, might
not work as well everywhere as it
may among the blacks of Virginia.

Fire broke out at about one
o'clock in the morning last Satur-
day in the rear Of Harris boot and
shoe store, on the corner Of West
ern avenue and Terrace street. A
strong wind was blowing from the
southwest, and although three fire
engines were promptly at work,
they failed 10 arrest the progress of
the flames until almost all the old
part of the city was burned. The
loss includes about 200 dwellings
and about 100 places Of business
of various kinds. The buildings
were mostly frame. There were
but three brick buildings, being
mostly wooden ranges. The insur-
ance was light. The National Ho-
tel, Forest City House and several
small hotels, also Mods, were all
burned. the best part Of the city
escaping without loss. Fire engines
from Grand Rapids and Whitehall
reached the scene in time to rem
der effective service.

The New Orleans Times publish
es some information concerning the
contest which has already begun
in Louisiana among the Republi-
cans for the United States Senator
ship that has been left vacant for
nearly two years by the rejection
of both Pinchback and Mcmillan,
the rival claimants. 1t seems that
Pinchback, with the support of the
custom house and the morbid be-
lief that he is the man of the color
ed men, bids fair to be the success
full candidate Of the Republicans.
His chef opponent is S. B. Pack
arl, who receives the support of
the Kellogg ring. The Times says
that tie factions among the Demo-
Gratis are rapidly coalescing, and
will undoubtedly unite soon in
solid phalanx to contest the election
inch by inch. In that case the
prospects Of the election of either
Pinchback or Packard viii be none
the lest.

Our Proposed Constitution

From the Detroit Free Press.
1t has long since passed into n
proverb that zone has to 60 away
from home to learn the news" but
even in the face of the proverb it
is difficult to avoid being surprised,
not to say startled, at the peculiar
kind Of home news which one gets
from abroad. The New York
Erening Post, for example, under
took few days since TO tell some
thing about the new Constitution
upon which the people OF Michi-
gan are to pass in November next /;
and in the course Of its narrative
told some news which will astonish
the people of Michigan very much
Some of this astonishm will bs
called odt by the Posts proposition
that "the body Of the new Constitu'
ton meets with more encourage
ment, or with less opposition" than
the suffrage proposition which Is
submitted separately. Here In the

storm, and waited there In the ter
rible storm until it was over and
the flood went down.
To describe all the wonderful es-
capes or tragic deaths would fill
volumes. Here is but one: A
baby was found in its crib floating
on the Ohio river at the head OF
Montgomery island, 80 miles below
the city, Monday afternoon, and
was alive and uninjured. Many
bodies were swept into the Ohio
river, and some have been recover
ed q miles below Pittsburg.
A singular feature Of the food
was this: Only one persons who
escaped from the flood was injured.
The dead all bore marks of bruises
and mangling, but, nothwithstand-
ing the topping of houses and the
avalanches of timbers and debris,
those who escaped from the wreck
came out unhurt. Another fea-
ture, which seems incredible, is
shown in the condition of many of
the dead, who were found in per-
fectly naked condition, proving the
fearful force of the food to strip
its victims. The devastation
wrought by the flood challenges
belief. Up Butchers run the eye
and mind becomes wearied by the
monotony of destruction to be seen
in houses torn away from their
foundations, and others dashed into
pieces, and mingled in an unrecog-
nizable mass of debris in sewers
bursted and eaved in; in heavy |
stones from the masonry of the
sewers and of the houses from the |
pavements of the streets; carried
away as if they were chips. The
numerous bridges over the creek
are so completely destroyed that a
stranger unacquainted with the To-
cality and the disaster would swear
that they never existed.

The New York World publishes

years ago. In the same period the
rate Of taxation has increased from
five and one-half mills to twenty
one and one-half mills. This rate
Is only for State taxes, and the
municipal and parochial taxes swell
the total rate to nearly five per
cent. In 1860 the debt Of the State
was but about s4,500,000, and al

Despite the opposition to the

Canada, which began with speaker
Blaine and continues with some o,
the prominent Republican Con-
gressmen, the government at Wash
ington seems disposed to test the
advisabiliy of the acceptance OF
the treaty by the United States.
The Bureau of Statistics has had
agents at different places in the
customs districts gathering as ac-
curate statistics as possible relating
to the trade with Canada TO help
In correct decision on the ques-
ton. These statistics. if made
public, will furnish valuable basis
upon which to make public senti-
ment for or against the treaty.

The Globe and the Democrat, the
two prominent Republican journals
in ST. Louis, are at war because of
their different positions regarding
the action Of the Missouri Repub-
lican State Committee in refusing
to call q Republican Convention.
The Cincinnati Gazette says that
the Republican party must under
stand that the government has no
more right at the present to inter-
fere with the affairs Of Arkansas,
South Carolina and Louisiana than
it has with those of New York or
Ohio.
