ALTON AND PRINTERS WAGEs.-At a meet
ing OF the New Jersey Republican Associa-
1loD last night a resolution was adopted as a
substitute for the one offered at the last
meeting OF the association by Mr.. Topham,
citing in its preamble that "justice to the
labOring classes has not only been the policy
but one of the fundamental principles OF the
republican party" and that "a republican
Congress has, on two OCCASIONS refused 10
reduce the wages of the workmen employed
In the Government Printing Office, at the
d1ctatton of the employing printers of this
city" The substitute has a preamble that
eve deprecate the introduction of any reso-
lution In an association of New Jersey re-
publicans that has reference primarily to
The question at issue between the EMPLOYING
printers and the Typographical Union of this
city; and the resolution reads: THAT we cor
aiaIIy approve any action of Congress and
the republican party tending to do eauaI
justice to all men, employees as well as en-
ployers, and that We deprecate any effort
to rftlNa
and labor"
AN EXPENSIVE MIsTAKE.-Tpis morning
IN alarm of fire was sounded from box lbs
central guard house) and in a few minute,
engine companies 1. and 4, and the Hook
and Ladder Company were on the ground.
The cause Of the alarm was a mistake maze
in signaling to the American district Tele-
graph, corner Of 10th and + streets. from
Seotts eating house, on 9th street, opposite
the market, but q hundred yards from the
guard house. II appears that a drunken COL
Ored man named Daniel Carpenter went into
SCOTS ard behaved in a q sorderly manner
when, instead o. sending TO the guard house,
some one attempted to signal through the
a. II. Il. for policeman, out made one turn
more than Is necessary, thereby giving the
signal for fire, and the alarm followed. On
these instruments one turn on the dial is the
signal for a messenger. two for an officer
and three for fire. These mistakes of call
Ing out the fire department are too expen-
rive, and a remedy is demanded, even If il is
the removal of all instruments improperly
used.
