EMPLOYMENT SCARCE IN PHILADELPHIA
Mr.. EDITOR Please say to any of your rea-
ders who may be thinking of coming to
Philadelphia to find work, that they had bet
ter not come. The city is flooded with men
from all parts of the country, who have i'm
agined that the Centennial would bring with
it plenty of employment for everybody They
have forgotten the fact that thousands of good
workmen, resident in the city, are now out OF
employment because of the stoppage of the
wheels of industry in foundries, mills, shops,
and stores-and while the Exhibition has
given, and will give, work to thousands, yet
the supply already far exceeds any possible
demand. The new corners are not only bit
terly disappointed, but worse, for their little
means is soon exhausted, and they are driven
often to the very verge of starvation, while
hundreds have to seek the shelter of the sta
ton house, or walk the streets the whole
night long.
In response to an inquiry made of the
President of the House of Correction, the
following has just been received:
OFFICE OF 1.-THE House OF CORRECTION. ~
PHILADELPHIA, MARCH Q, 1876.
JOHN WANAMAKER, ESQ,
Dear Sir I'm reply to your favor of the
28th ult., have had prepared the enclosed
statement, exhibiting.the number admissions
to this Institution during the months of De-
cember January, and February last, and also
the proportion of that number who were
committed at their own request
OF twenty-five hundred and forty-two (2242,
admissions, no less than eleven hundred and
fifty-one (1151) were self committed.
The supposition that, as class, the occu-
pants of the House of Correction are those
who seek its food and shelter only to avoo
labor is erroneous. On the contrary, as a
rule, they work cheerfully enough, even at the
hardest and most disagreeable of outdoor
employments-stone-qu arrying ditching, etc.
though in very many cases, the men have beer
educated to clerical rather than to manual la
Dor.
The result is, therefore, startling, as an in
dex of the overcrowded condition of many
branches of industry, and can fully endorse
as excellent, the idea suggested in your note
namely, to urge through the columns of the
country papers, young men to stay sohere they
are, and not crowd to the city in anticipation
of obtaining employment, at least at the
present time.
Yours, truly,
WILLIAM GJrIAGER

A SUNDAY CONVENTION

The Herald states as a pretty definite.
ly settled" fact that the Republican
State Convention will be held on the 10th
OF September Now the 10th of Septem-
Der will fall upon Sunday, and although
our people are we'll aware of the depths
OF iniquity into which the Republican
par ty has fallen, they will DO loath to be-
heve that it will boldly set at defiance
the laws OF God and man, and openly vio-
late the sanctity Of the Sabbath day. 1t
is a gross libel upon SO strict Sabba-
tartan and SO good a Methodist as Mr..
PIckels to intimate SO broadly that he in
tends to call q political convention on
the Sabbath, and the good Methodists Of
our community should rise en- n,assc and
resent this sacriliRious insult to a promi-
nent member OF their denomination.
lhe Herald further states that "this
convention will have peculiar import
ance and SO it will. A Sunday politi-
cal Convention is something never before
thought OF in this State, and should an
attempt be made to hold one its "pecu-
liar Importance" will be such as to bring
down upon the heads of its attendants
the stern denunciation of all the God
tearing people OF eur State. Therefore
Mr.. Plckels should speedily relieve his
religious skirts of the foul imputation
cas-: forth by the Herald, or his religious,
social and political status in the com
munity will not be worth picayune.
In the same article the Herald gives
the people some wonderful and interes-
ting information relative to the nomina-
tion and election of a certain ''Mr. Loft
man" to the position of Representative
IN Congress. Generally our people are
well acquainted with those who have had

The Gospel Church .

THE PROJECT DISCUSSED Ry A CHURCH
MEETrNe-THE OBJECT OF THE MOVE
MKNT.
Last evening meeting of the mem.
bers of the Delaware Avenue Baptist
Church was held in the Board of Trade
rooms, Masonic Temple, for the pur-
pose of considering the advisability of
erecting large Gospel Church, in ia"
bernacle form, in which Rev. /. N.
Haldeman shall be invited to preach.
This movement was suggested
several months ago by the very large
attendance atDelaware Avenue Church
and the fact that hundreds of those
who came each Sunday to hear Mr..
Haldeman were unable to gain admisS
sion. Then 1t was proposed as a good
idea 10 endeavor to secure larger
building for Mr.. Haldeman's ministra-
tions-a building capable of seating
from 1900 to 1000 people, and which
should be entirely free from debt.
Those who are Interested in this
movement disclaim that they are act ,
uated by envy and disappointment,
and assert that their whole object is
the advancement of the cause and the
salvation of souls. At the Delaware
Avenue Baptist Church, on account of
its contracted dimensions, the same
audiences are preached TO each Sun
day; hence the necessity for larger
editlce, o accommodate all whom MIR.
Haldeman can attract within its walls.
Should it be deemed unadvisable to
erect such building, they will con-
tinue to work just as willingly and
heartily in the old church.
The meeting last night, was attend
ed by nearly 175 persons, and was orr
ganized by calling Frank A. Taylor 10
the chair and appointing James H.
Appleby Secretary.
The chair stated the object of the
meeting, and after some discus sion a
motion was made to appoint COM
mittee of eight(to which the President
should be added) to call upon the pass
tor, Rev. l. N. Haldeman, and advise
with him as to the best course to pur-
sue in regard to the project.
This motion was fully discussed,
after which it was adopted, with but
fifteen opposing votes. The committee
consists of the following gentlemen:
Frank A. Taylor, chairman of the
meeting; Aaron S. Sawin, James Har
gis, James II. Appleby, E. F. James,
A. ii. Marshall, ]. Frank Ball, Z. s.
Pryor and VIM. Stout.
This committee will confer with
Mr.. Haldeman, but when the latter g
decision will be rendered cannot be
definitely settled.

"GOvernor Tilden's letter, accepting
the nomination of the Democratic
Convention at st. Louis as candi>
diate for President Of the United
States at the next Presidential elec~

general comment since its publication,

seems to be but one opinion, and that
is, that the doctrines enunciated are
sound and statesmanlike. This col

testimony to the sentiments of the
