TIE Rtelis County Gazette calls our at.
tention 10 the fact that the names Of tho
Hon. @. +. Scott and Judge LOOMS were
omitted from the list oil Republican can
dldates for Congress published in our COL
umns recently. In the case Of the former,
the omission was entirely accidental. Mr..
Scott has been alluded to once or twice
in our columns as q candidate for Con.
gress, and we certainly regard him as
among the prominent gentlemen spoken
Of for that position. As to Judge LOOMS,
the mention Of his name IL new to US, and
we are indebted to the Gazette for the In.
formation that he Is a candidate. The
following is, we presume, a full list Of all
the parties who have been spoken Of for
Congress from this District on either
side:
Democratic Candidates.. II. Good,
Col. Ben. Wilson, Col. Alex. Campbell,
W. W. Miller, J. W. Homer and ]. W.
Gallaher.
Republican Candldates-Hon. ]. Il. At.
kinson, Rev. J. s. Pomeroy, General B. F.
Kelley, Gen. Gof, Gen. Northcott, Hon.
CT. Scott, ext Governor Stevenson, W. l.
Foreman, Judge Maxwell and Judge
Loomis.
The Hon. John J. Davis may be classed
as Jacob Democrat and as an "inde-
pendent" candidate, IL indeed he is a can
dldate at all.
Whether the Republicans will hold q
nominating convention or not, we are un-
able tosay. The old Congressional Com
mittee Of 1872 have the matter under sd-
visement and are in correspondence with
various parties throughout the District
We trust their consultation will result in
such action as will bring about co.opera-
ton between the independent Democrats
and Republicans aud secure the selection
Of candidate acceptable 10 both.

RdItois Intelllgeneer:
am greatly in favor Of compulsory
education. Justice demands it, and the
safety Of our present free school system
greatly depends on It. We cannot dis
guise the fact that our system Of public
Tree schools has its secret, persistent and
relentless foes, those who would rejoice
at its downfall, as though they had gained
a great victory.
REJOICE IN THIS FACT,
that the system has had a few years in
which TO develop strength and gain
friends. A few years more Of fostering
will 80 root It In the affections oil the PEG.
pie that 1t will be impossible 10 pluck II
up, Yet, while this Is the case, the strong
resistance beneath the surface will stunt,
II not entirely destroy it, unless we find a
way TO overcome this resistance by rem
edyipg defects and removing prejudices in
the working Of the system. This will be
accomplished, In q great measure, by u
law compelling parents and guardians 10
send their children 10 school.
~ IBxrRcTRn A BILL
of this kind to come up in the House
during the session Of the last Legislature,
but for some reason the friends Of the
measure kept very quiet about it. sup
pose they were afraid 1t would have been
cooped IN its passage, and 80 1t might have
been, but then 1t would have awakened
discussion among the masses, and II Il
had been offered 1t would have found
friends everywhere, The reason so little
Is said on the subject is, 1t has not been
brought before the people A good
measure cannot be. brought forward too
soon or too persistently advocated; a bad
measure, II cOuntenanced by any, should
be Immediately quashed.
In order that this matter may DO more
prominently before the reading public,
permit me through the INTRLLiaRNoRR
TO offer my mite toward this much needed
reform.
Twill premise my remarks by saving
our school law is very detective; so much
90 that perhaps II would be well enough
TO lay the whole thing aside and get ~
something really beneficial, as Il viii
hardly do as d foundation for better
structure-thoush l am Of the opinion It
can be patched 90 as TO answer the end
designed.

DseaE in Trades Unionism in NeH YOrk.

There has been a great falling off IN
the number and power of the unions.
For example, in 1873, these associations
returned total membership of A $50
men ; this year they only. report 3d.
765 members, a falling off which cannot
be attributed to any decrease IN the
number of wOrkingmen in the city. In =
deed, to go into particulars, it is found
that one or two associations have drop
ped out of existence, and not q few
trades, which are VIGOROUSLY flourish
ing, report 3 greatly diminished mem
bership In their societies. A careful
and painstakiUg examination of the
whole subject gives as a result the large
number of 46, $50 workmen outside OF
trades unions, more than 2, 600 above
the total number returned as belonging
to trade societies In 1873.
The reason for the apparent decay of
trade organization is not far to seek.
They rapidly grew strong and aggres-
sive. They assumed to dictate terms
that were often prepoNterous and-even
to the minds of the members-unjust
and arrogant. The leaders, especially
when their society was large, grew self-
important and consequential they die
tated terms to employees and employers,
and earned a very comfortable living at
the expense of Woodworking men who
vent to work at the bidding of these
new masters. Bad leadership has had
more to do with the decay of trades
unions than all other causes combined.

Drawing the Lucky Numbers IN Foster
Texas Prize Concert.

We find the following notices in the Houston
papers, touching the manner in which the
drawing on the 22d ult was conducted:
The Opera House was well filed on Friday
with anxious ticket holders, and many curious
to see the drawing of the thirteen hundred
and seventy-two prizes which were to be
taken from the great " wheel Of fortune"
THE COMMITTEE
of gentlemen was the best that could have
been selected by the audience. Hon. D. o.
Barziza, who supervised the drawing, is our
present Representative, and one Of the most
popular men in the district.
THE DRAWING 81
was prefaced by an explanation from Captain
Foster, of the mode adopted. This was well
received and understood, precisely was eX-
planned by the circulars. Captain Foster said
that while he wished all his home people good
luck, he was free to say that with the people
of poor Mississippi, Louisiana and South Car
DINA, he felt a greater sympathy, and he did
hope they would draw the largest number of
the prizes that they might come to a free
country, and make a white mans living. This
sentiment was received with loud cheers.
The drawing was then proceeded with, and
the result Is announced charlottesville Age.
Not even the most captious and suspectiDR
person could take exceptions to the manner OF
the drawing. It was fair, honorable and
equitable.
The committee and recorders were of ouI
very best citizens, and kindly gave their time
and labor to the superintendent Of the draw
ing, or ra- her did the actual labor OF it.
Captain Foster has acted honorably and
fairly throughout the whole management OF
this enterprise, and has given no one the
slightest cause to suspect any wrong intention
on his part. While some money has been
made by the venture in all probability, yet the
property given as prizes has only melted fair
price, and the profit Ia only in exchange of the
property for cash.-Ihe Telegraph.

emplifed by this figure of speech for

spreads towards all points of the COM
