The condiiun Il The working psorll
|evsrywhers Is sIserious and dsplcrable. IT,
people Who ars mot brought IN oousac'
with the laboring classes and have nc
means Of knowing their condition. have
not the most remote idea Of the want and
actual suffering of the honest laborer and
his family. The number Of unemployed,
and Of those unable to gst work is large
beyond comprehension. With q view oi
ascertaining the exact state Of affairs
among the working classes Of the great
manufacturing city Of Philadelphia, re-
porter Of the HERALD" devoted consid-
cradle time to the collection of statistics
from various branches of trade, and many
other facts concerning the necessities Of
the present ituation, and from whose re-
port We take the following extract:
"There are large number of families in
this city in desperate need ofthe necessities
Of life, with no money to buy food or pay
rent and their natural guardians have no
means of getting dollar by their labor.
Hundreds of families do not eat q morsel Of
meat from one month to another, living en-
tirely on the cheapest possible kinds of food
What valuables they have 60 to the pawn
broker for mere fraction of their real
value, and have to be left unredeemed, and
SO entirely lost. Auction houses are over
stocked with goods left to be sold and
sales realizing anything near the value of
goods are well nigh impossible to be effect
ed, everything being sacrificed at nominal
prices. A sad fact in connection with this
tale of suffering is that the honest laboring
man is the severest sufferer. Others, who
have no money, but little credit, will con-
tract grocer's bills with no expectation of
paying, while the honest man suffers rather
than resort to dishonest means.
Often an upright mechanic may be seen
upon the street dressed neatly and having
the air of comfort, when he IS actually hun
cry, and knows not where his next meal and
that Of his family is coming from. When
winter sets in, with its cold frosts and pierc-
ing blasts, the suffering which will follow
can hardly be imagined. What is to be
done for the many hungry mouths and un-
covered heads will be serious problem for
public action, and private charity.

FATHER TAFT.

As Secretary of War, Father Taft was
sorry failure. He was not the man for
turning the crank of the outrage mill, or
issuing orders to the army to trampie down
the rights Of citizens in peaceful and unre-
sisting communities, and was therefore
summarily relieved and sent to doze in the
Department of Justice. There he is burn
ing midnight oil ever an opinion which
argues that the President may lawfully
precipitate the army upon any State in the
Union in time Of pro ound peace, and with
out any call from its Governor or Legis-
lature, providing only that his patriotic
object is to carry an election for the Re-
publican party. Beside this, Father Taft
will be wakened up occasionally for an
opinion in justification Of some admins
tration outrage, or to make out an appoint
ment for District Attorney, or prepare a
pardon for whisky thief From nice
old gentleman and well disposed citizen,
who never had marked propensity to
steal or murder or stuff ballot boxes,a a brief
association with Grant, has transformed
this venerable old gentleman from decent
county attorney into worthy successor Of
Munson Pierrepont.

A Grabbing Excursion.
CElizabeth Journal.]

Yesterday three of our citizens went crab
bling. One was Q doctor, one was lawyer,
and the third an Erie railroad ofhcial. They
left early in the morning, and one woula
Judge from the amount of provisions and
crab bait they carried along that they were
going to fish for monsters Of the deep. The
Railroad man furnished the bait, which con.
sisted of three beef heads and large guam
tity of salt pork. They all got sea.siek,
and returned late in the evening with the
provisions untouched. They gave it all to
a man on Pine street, who said it would last
his family of thirteen persons two weeks.
AS for the crabs, if they would had have
got ninety-seven more they would have had
one hundred. This morning they were try
ing to make bargain with Benjamin to
cart up their empty baskets from the port.
The same party are going again next week,
on which occasion the "Journal' will send
special reporter along to get the fine
points.

A letter from Lord Derby to the Geo
graphical Society Of London, announces
that all the country surrounding Lakes,
Victoria and Albert in Central Africa,
had been annexed to Egypt by Col. Cor
don, who thinks that in little while the
route which he has. passed over will be
perfectly safe for merchant travellers. This
being the case, the Philadelphia Times
does well in asking "Whose country i.

The canvass in Mississippi has opened
with flying colors. There is but little op-
position to Tilden and Hendricks in that
State. The colored "friend and brother
is SO we'll pleased with the result of last
years election, that there will be but little
opposition to the Democratic ticket this
year. Negro Democratic clubs are being
formed, and great demonstrations are being
made.

Proposed Killing Of Priests.

The Tamaqua "Courier" says: "The other
day when Jimmy Kerrigan was on his way
from Pottsyille to Mauch Chunk he observ-
ed Father McF adden in the cars. Jim re-
quested Father McFadden (through his es-
cort) to come to him, but the Priest refused,
so Kerrigan went forward and sat alongside
of him, and told the priest that he was to
have been killed, with three other priests,
by the "Mollies," and told the parties who
were going to do the work. Father McFad-
den said he believed him, for the story was
corroborated by other parties"

THE results Of our years costly Indian
operations have been in the wiping out Of
Gen. Custer and his men, in the decided
repulse of Gen. Crooks command, in the
fruitless chase after Sitting Bull and his
warriors, and in giving to the Indians an
increased confidence in their ability to
outwit and Outright our troops.
