BROOKLYN, Aug. 1O.--A large meeting Of
the Socialist Labor party, or Communists,
was held this evening. The following resolu-
tions were adopted;
ResotUed, That we, the worlingmen of
steps OF the City Hall, denounce the members
OF the Congressional Labor Committee as men
unworthy the confidence Of the people, and
we hereby declare that neither they nor any
measures which they may propose. in the al
legged interest OF the workingmen, are entitled
to the support Of the laboring men OF the
conntry.
Resotued, That we hereby reaffirm the de-
elaration OF principles of the Socalistic Labor
party, which reads: "Labor being the source
OF all wealth and civilization, and useful labor
being possible only by the associated efforts
therefore In all justice, belong to society. The
system uuder which society is now organized
Is imperfect and hostile to the general welfare,
since, through it, the directors OF labor (neees-
sarily small minority are enabled In the
competitive struggled to practically monopolize
produce for and supply the wants OF the peo-
pie, and the masses are. therefore, maintained
In poverty and Dependence; and since the
ruling political parties have always sought
only the direct interests of the dominant or
wealthy classes, endeavored to uphold their
Industrial supremacy and to perpetuate the
present condition Of society, 1t is now the
duty Of the working people to organize them
selves into one great labor party, using their
political power to achieve Industrial independ-
ence.
The Industrial emancipation OF labor which
themselves, independent Of all political par
ties but their own, is consequently the great
end to which political Endorsement should be
subordinate as a means.

Senator addressed the people OF Nevada of
Virginia City, and announced his candidacy
for reelection. SO far no prominent candf-
date has been named in opposition. Senator
Jones IS Republican, but somehow party
lines do not count for much In the canvass for
United States Senator in that State An eE-
fort was made by o portion OF the Democratic
press OF Eastern Nevada TO thrown cold water
Judge Hillhouse, but 1t met with no response.
me other Democratic papers have declared
for Jones on account OF his eminent services
and at this writing it looks as il any new con-
dldate will have hard time In making his
election sure.
There is still considerable discussion Ill the
papers whether Sharon intends to resign.
Some Of the Democratic papers are alvoeab-
Ing that an arrangement should be made.
whereby II Mr. Sharon resigns, q Democrat
you'd succeed him, upon condition that the
Democracy support the reelection OF Senator
Jones. But the trouble 10, no one seems tn
know the intention Of Mr.. Sharon In the mat

the position most sought after is that of Com

Senator Thurman returned here from ten
days visit to the home Of Lawyer Merritt in
called on him at his home and found him in
excellent health and spirits. He reports that
he has had a delightful time and says he has
completed a speech with which he is to open
the Ohio campaign on the thirteenth, save a
little "sand- -papering." OF the Ohio campaign
he speaks hopefully of q complete Democratic
victory, but says 1t will be a hard fight.
OF the result Of the pending congressional
campaign he said: II think we shall secure
numerical majority OF the next House,
"You say q numerical majority-are You
afraid of its validity then2"
Thurman laughing)-Oh no; don't mean
ger that we may not have o majority OF the
States
"Is there any danger from the national ele-
ment?"
"Well you know the house by States now
stands eighteen to eighteen, with two States
tied. II the Nationals can carry single dis
trict in the two tied States they will hold the
balance Of power, In case the next presiden-
tial election be thrown into Congress. II they
carry single large State, like Wisconsin, for
instance, it will give them the balance"
"Do you think the next presidential election
will be thrown into Congress?'
sit may be. [ think Il Gen. Butler is con-
vinced that the Nationals hold the balance of
power In the next Congress by States, he will
be their candidate"
Believing that If the Nationals do hold
such balance, he can secure a sufficiently
large popular n majority to throw the election
Thurman-I think that is his scheme.

GREENvI1LE, 8. c., August 9. 1878.
Hon. Green B. Raum. Commissioner:
While we believe you anticipated refor1na-
tion in this district, it is hardly probable that
you expected q revolution, nor did we who
were on the spot We are informed that Red
mond is anxious to surrender, the govern
ment accepting his plea of guilty for past vlo-
to be suspended conditioned on his good be-
havior and keeping good faith. He Is ready
to stand his trial for killing Duckworth.
The entire body OF mountain people are
begging to surrender on suspension OF SEN
tence but the district attorney hesitates to
go further than the docket without special
instructions as to parties not charged, as
well as those who are prepared to plead
guilty. This plan sends them to the peniten-
tiary on bench warrant without further trial
Or defense If they violate the law again. The list
will be large enough to prove to the country
that the revenue laws have been violated
here. Peace will prevail and the law be vim
dicated: Kane an, ct a., revenue officers, are IN

occurred In that section Of the town known as
the Upper Flat district, north of the railroad
depot and one-quarter OF a mile distant. The
houses are all wooden and occupied chiefly by

The scene at this point is terrible. This
little settlement was entirely swept away;

that was carried off its foundation and! Bet

The Louisiana Democratic Convention ret
an example worthy OF note and imitation. IG#

sell out II that practice is generally foI-
lowed In political conventions a considerable
portion OF the people may go tlnrepresentetl
in such assemblages, but The average quality
and all bands, except the purchasing candfsS

political virtue will be the ruling off the track
OF some candidates who offer to buy. PoIftI-

rule out both the jockey who sells out and the
sporting gentlemen who buy In.
