The Great Centennial Picnic.

Thursday, the 22d of June, 1876,
was memorable day 10 the annals alike
Of American labor and American CAPT.
tai. It illustrated the immeDsity and
.Iiberality of the latter, aud the kindly
relations which ought ever to exist
between it and the labor by which it
is sustained. On this eventful day the
largest sewing machine company in
corporation in the world, representing a
capital of s27, 100000, rendered, of
its own voliticn and at its own ex-
pense, holiday to its thousands of
workingmen and workingwomen, and
not only gave them welcome respite
from drudgery, but offered them an
opportunity to witness, without any
cost to themselves, the gfandest
Worlds Fair ever presented on the
surface of this fair world. The details
of this remarkable occasion have been
given in tull by the press of the couu-
try. There were six trains on the
Pennsylvania Railroad and the Gen.
tral Railway of, eNewnJ erseY, contains
ing seventy-six cars in all, and carry
ing over 1000 persons. Leaving New
York, Elizabethport and Newark at
intervals between $3.50 and $50 a. 10 ),
the trains arrived safely in Philadel-
phia at half-past nine. The exour-
sionists then marched in body, pre-
ceded by band of music, to the New
Jersey building, where General Haw-
ley, President Of the Centennial Com
mission, and Mr. Weleh, of the Bo,rd
Of Finance, rece yed them ia behalf
of Governor Bedle, who was absent

The Hungry Ten Thousand.

Many amusing as we'll as some sOrrowful
stories are being related in connection with
the unprecedented raid upon Washington
for the two hundred and odd subordinate
places in the house of representatives at the
disposal of the Democratic party. Among
others is that of the two ancient ex-mem-
bers of congress who years before the war
figured somewhat conspicuous y as pro-
slavery leaders in the house of representa-
tives. With the fall of slavery and rebel
lion these individuals sank out Of sight,
but came to the surface again as soon as
the Democratic party had achieved its first
victory. They repaired to Washington on
the assembling of Congress, one seeking the
position of clerk of the house and the
other that of sergeant-at arms. Both
were defeated and they next sought
places of lower grade, and so kept
going lower until they reached the fold
ing and pasting department Of the docu-
ment rooms, where they We're finally
successful in securing quarters at salary of
eight hundred dollars year, for the per-
formance of the humblest drudgery. The
New York Worlds Washington cores
pondent asserts that the applicants for the
various places in the gift OF the house of
representatives. from clerk down to pastors
and folders, numbers not less than ten
thousand, representing every state from
Maine to California and from the northern
borders to the Gulf of Mexico. Hundreds
of these applicants are unable to reach their
homes again except by the assistance of the
members of congress who represent their
districts. A once rather conspicuous state
legislator of South Carolina has secured en-
ployment to wheel the mails from the house
Of representatives to the city post Office
while others who held equally prominent
positions in the south before the war are
happy in securing positions as assistant
door keepers and similar urpretentious
places. The post master Of the house Of
representatives., Col Stewart, has given
great offense by taking all his assistants
from among his own neighbors at Alex
andria, including al! his male relatives, while
Mr. Adams, the clerk of the house, COM
mitted a like offense by giving all the best
places in his Gift to members of his own
tamil ily-including the chief clerkship to his
uncle, Green Adams, formerly a member
Of congress from Kentucby.
