ONCE admit that congress las the
power to determine what wages cngn-
GERS and other railroad employees shall
receive, and you place labor direc ly
under the feet Of capital. Americans
should blush to confess it; but it is true,
nevertheless, that the legislation Of the
country has been, and can be controlled
by capital. When has any scheme
pressed upon the attention OF congress
by the bondholder, The manufacturing
nabob, or the railroad kings, and backed
by their money, failed Of accomplish
ment! The political history OF the last
twelve years does not present one single
instance Of failure. Hence the conclusion
is irresistible that II congress can eXer-
else the right TO fix the compensation
of the laboring man, labor will be tied
hand and foot, and placed at the feet Of
greedy and merciless capital. The com.
bined power of capital can then be con-
centrated on single, and. with capital
lists, a common object; and before such
q power the rights OF the poor man
will as surely 60 down as the struggle is
inaugurated.

DIABOLIsM.

An Old Man is Stripped Naked, and then
Tied 10 the Track TO be Killed by the
Cars.
II seems rs though there is no crime
so hcartless that hands can not be found
eager to commit it.
An old German, named John Schmczig,
scarcely able 70 walk from illness, might
have been seen on our streets on Friday
last, begging for bread, He is sixty-ilve
years OF age, and is slowly recovering
from protracted spell OF sickness.
This old man reached Cairo on Friday
after trip Of one hundred aud fifty miles
every foot OF which was made on foot,
Notwithstanding his feeble condition.
He started with ten dollars in his pocket
and made his Journey on foot, in the
hope that on his arrival in Cairo, II
would have money enough lett to pay
his pay his passage 10 Troy, Indiana,
near which place he hoped
to lind a brother. Bat the Old man was
subjected to an ''eXperlence' that shows
| an abandonment OF heart in the h man
kind which words cannot lilly sti. ma
tie. AtapOint on the Illinois Cen raj
railroad, Il few miles below DuQuOin, he
met couple of negro men who ha ted
him, rudely threw him to the grOl nd,
and proceeded TO rob him. He had seven
OF his ten dollars, and this sun the ne
groes appropriated, and started on their
