Particulars Of the sovsreigns Of Industry.


10 tAs Editor Of The National RspubHeaa!
SIR: notice that "Olerieus" appears In yes
terday's REPUBLICAN IN response TO one Of your
Saturday Monographs" entitled Hints TO De-
partment CLERKS, !" regarding possible economies.
sClericus' informs you, somewhat vaguely, Of
the "Soyereigns Of Industry" council of whom
exists In Washington and Is getting into working
order. wish to ask that you Will indulge me In
giving, through the RKPUBLIcAN, some further
"hints" for the beneht Of my fellow clerks for ],
too. am "Clericus."
The Order Of 'Sovereigns of Industry" now num-
bers some u, 600 members, who act mainly IN con-
cert In efecting purchases Of whatever they may
other words, the Order is q vast Vwholesale pur-
chasing" and distributing combination, and In
some respects acts in unison with the .Grangers,"
who now number more than 1000, 900. You can
therefore see at once what powerful combinations
these two bodies are able to make.
! inclose herewith e "confdential circular,
the Order are enabled, through its agency, to OBJ
tain numerous articles Of daily consumption In
every family. Also, o card of .Columbia Oouu-
cii,H Of W asbIngtOn, giving some Of the i,dis-
counts" We secure to ourselves already. But we
shall be able to do still better when our council
about month and . half old and do not enjoy
all the advantages which our Northern brothers
and sisters reap; but We shall soon do 50. We are
growing as rapidly as safety will permit, and be-
fore long special opportunities VIII be offered to
others 70 ioin us.
Tne Oroer is o secret one, pound togethor under
sacred obligation, such as no true lady or gen.
tleman would hesitate 10 take. Any person Of
good character can join the council on payment Of
~ for gentleman and q for o lady. The presl-
dent Of the council is disting nguished citizen Of
tbs District-and, indeed. all the officers, were
they named. would be recognized as persons Of
citizens.
The aforementioned card Of the council In this
city contains the names and residence Of the on
GERS Of the council, from whom further Informs
ton on the subject can be had by those desiring
Il. also send you copy Of the June number Of
the Bulletin of the Sovereigns of Industry issued
monthly, which is in some sort the organ Of the
National Oouncil, and serves as achsnnel through
which the public may obtain general information
as 70 the principles, progress and workings Of the
Order.
.There is no possible reason Why In the Ian
gusge Of your sHints, /" "W ashington should con.
tinue to be one Of the dearest capitals in the
worldn in which to reside. Furthermare, there
will be found in the establishment OF council Of
the Order In this city the additional merit and ad-
vantage that II s step In the right direction to-
ward the realization Of the "F Familisteren which
your brilliant correspondent, Miss Kate Stanton,
is advocating, and which grand work can be ac-
complished easily, n the clerks Of the Depart.

decided, and that, leaving out Saturdays and
Sundays, they amounted to seventeen days. He
had no means Of knowing whether the witness
attended. He further testified that the second
summons was issued for Mr.. Wall, but he failed
to tnd q return of it.
Mr.. Riddle then made short argument in favor
Of his client, and Mr.. Campbell responded with
one which, while It may have lacked legal points,
did not lack spirit or earnestness- The justice
gave decision in favor Of Wall for the amount
