IMPORTANT SECRET ORDERS.

The tenor Of these instructions could
not be ascertained, but they are
arousing all the excitement Of the
Fenian raid Of 1866. The pro-
eramme is to call meeting Of Ma
.tionalists Immediately after the de-
claration Of war, and detirmine up
on the action to be taken. 1000
western soldiers are notified 50 that
they can be here in twenty -four

sed excitement exists among the
Irish Nationalist, in this city, in
regard to the proposed Fenian raid
on Canada in event Of war between
England and Russia. The liyeiest
activity has prevailed here among
skiirmishing clubs for the last two
weeks, and military preparations are
undoubtedly being made. Your cor
respondent to-day made an extended
inquiry among leaders Of contemp-
lated movement. Your represen.
tative interviewed the Nationa-
lists, and is confident that an in
vasion is contemplated. Col. John
Quinn, who is thoroughly posted in
regard to all the preparations, and
who was in the Black Rock raid of
1866, states that there are three
Irish companies well drilled, Off
cered and equipped. They are on
the qui viive, waiting for the open
ING Of hostilities between Russia and
Eng and are ready to move at
moments notice. An agent from
New York, understood to be James
Cassidy, and to have been specially
deputed by the managers of the
skirmishing fund, has been working
among the faithful in this city, and
is said to have left

the proper person to seize Moses, or cause

SO. He is here and Moses is here, ard yet he
takes no notice Of him. Hampton's pursuit
OF the Ex-Governor is, therefore, piece OF

The Chinese Question.
Isan Francisco Cor. Baltimore su,

ltoHH EIHuClSCO OOT. DHlLl moro sum-
The Chinese question needs only patience to
insure spontaneous solution. Capt. w.
Walker is now shipping to Peru, for planta-
ton work, 10000 Cinnamon with assurance
that all the Mongoians California has to
spare will find employment along that coast.
The government declares that there are In
Peru no race antipathies and no repugnance
to intermarriage. Cinnamon are wanted for
permanent residents, in hopes that native in
dolence will be cured by intermnglng with
the blood OF q race prOverbial for habits OF
industry, Peru has now 10000 CelestiaIs and
guided by satisfactory experience.
Guatemala is also in the market for China
men. Official assurance is given of their being
received as equals by the natives, with whom
they may freely intermarry and become cit-
zens. The natives are noted for Incidence
and tardy enterprise and Guatemala, unlike
California, looks on such an acquisition as
giving healthy impetus to ali industrial
pursuits-certain to elevate the State to the
highest rank among the republics OF Central
America.
And now comes from Missouri an order for
500 OF our surplus Cinnamon, to work in coal
mines, and from Kansas an order comes for
300. In both cases inquiry is made IL more
can be had. Another feature in the Monaghan
drama is being presented in the police re-
ports Several arrests are noticed of China
men turned burglars Driven to desperation
by prohibition to earn an honest living and
by consequent pressure Of hunger, this re-
suit must be expected. And being ingenious
in imitation they are exciting remonstrance
from Christian cracksmen, whose monopoly
is put in jeopardy.

AN OPEN LETTER TO MAYOR Pills.
BURY.

Sr-The plain, unvarnished, unshirking,
manly letter Of Mr.. John Henderson, in reply
to your inquiries about certain structures
upon your official conduct, published in the
city papers. may have been to you bitter
disappointment
IT conveyed the lesson that even Mayor
With all his patronage, may find but a very
limited number OF trusty persons to let him
With this, however, the underwriters have no
concern; but this letter of Mr.. Henderson
having been made the occasion Of gross mis-
representations published on the nine
% emanating from you, and as you
have failed to correct these misrepresen-
tations / feel in duty bound as chair
man OF the fire committee of the Board of
Underwriters to make the correction myself,
SO that the public may not he misled as to the
exact positions respectively occupied by the
fire committee on one side and by yourself on
the other
All the fire committee asked OF you, and
failed to obtain was hat you should author
lie and direct Chief Boylan to issue an order,
making 1t obligatory. on the police to state,
ON all occasions, which apparatus, Ii any,
first reached the fire. No more no less; no
comments whatsoever, nothing more than
the naked fact: So or SO arrived first.
Chief BOylan was willing to accede to this
reasonable demand Of the committee, but, as
you confess, you checked him.
You are made to say by the reporter Of the
DEmOohAI, commenting upon Mr.. Hender
sons letter, that the committee asked "that
the police should be instructed to state in
their reports other matters regarding the
relative efficiency Of the two branches-the
Babcock and the fire department."
No one knows better than yourself that the
committee never made any such demand On
the contrary, the com ittee deprecated anv
comments as to the relative efficiency of the
two departments, except such as would re-
suit from the fact Of prompt attendance.

Cotton Factories In the South.

The annual report of the Langley Cotton
Manufacturing Company, OF Columbia, s. c.,
ly encouraging to the development of South
ern manufacturing enterprises. The original
capital stock OF the company was 100000
and it has been In active operation six years,
during which time its net profits
have have been sa25,4o7, and in 1877, the
upon the manufacturers of cotton goods,
the profits were S37,214, after deducting Tor
taxes and repairs. The dividends during the
last year amounted to $4,000, after which
S141, 672 was left on hand, to be used as COM
mercial capital The directors are consider
ing suggestion of the president to increase
the capital stock to 900, in order to double
the productive capacity Of the mills, and
thus utilize its spendid water power, which is
free from interruption by freezing the year
round: During the year 1877, 2,46o,ooo pounds
OF cotton was consumed, producing 6,221,512
yards of cloth. The prospect Is that the
Langley Company in only one OF the many
successful pioneers in what will, ere many
years shall elapse, be one of the greatest in
dustries Of the South.

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Another Strike Threatened on a Far
Grander scale than That of Last
SummHr
New York World. April A.. ]

Ever since the labor riots of last summer
there have been accommodating evidences that
those who embarked in that strike were or
ganizng again for the same object. The chief
among these signs have been the unexpected
manifestations of the strength and unity In
| political successes throughout the country,
but most frequently in the West, of those can
didates who receive the Endorsement of the
Workingmens and Greenback parties; show
| ing that a powerful but secret influence was
seeking representation in the State and ma
tional councils. The railway secret service
| agency, believed that they have dis
covered the key to the mystery in q
secret order styling itself the Knights
strikes, has united the discontented laborers
into secret oath-bound brotherhood with
| signs and passwords that are bonds of frater-
nifty with loo, 600 members scattered through
every State in the Union, Mr.. Lonergan, Of
this agency, says the railroad strikes failed
not on account of any inherent deficiency in
the organizations that projected them, but
because those who had not been taken into
the e. secrets OF the movement .precipitated a
collision between labor and capital. The day
fixed by the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
glneers long post-dated that Of the actual
Strike. There was an unaccounted factor in
the problem, namely, the Trainsmen's Union,
composed OF brakesmen and other rail-
by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
brought about the conflict before the
men were able to carry it through to sue
cess; When the trouble began men of all
grades of railway service enlisted in what
proved to be losing campaign Recognizing
the fact that they had miscalculated the
power of the National Guard factor Of the
problem, they sought to repair their omission
and prepare for a better considered contest by
means OF iron-clad oaths, pass words, and the
other binding influences Of a secret organiza-
tion. An important element in this new as
ISOLATION has been drafted from the discon-
tented granger societies of the West Ma
tional and State organizations have been per-
fected and the local lodges of the Knights of
Labor are styled assemblies Each of the
last-named lodges is governed by master
workman, worthy foreman, venerable sage
dispenser of signs, grips, and pass-words) an
unknown knight director of secret expedi-
tons and transactionsl. an assistant unknown
knight outer esquire, inner esquire, financial
and recording secretary, statistician, al
moner, treasurer, and worthy inspector.
Uriah 0. Stevens, of Philadelphia, who was a
guiding spirit in the strikes, is national mas
ter workman. George Blair is the master
workman of the New York assemblies.
Ralph Beaumont, editor of the Avalanche,
also is in high authority in New York The
purpose OF the association is the elevation of
labor by means of electing members of Con-
gress and OF State Legislatures. AcknoWl-

KPIrAPH ON THE MARQUIS or ANGLE.
SEAS LEG.

Written shortly after the Battle of Waterloo.1
Here rests, and let no saucy knave
Presume to sneer and laugh,
To learn that Wondering in the grave
Is laid O British calr
For he who writes these lines Is sure
That those who read the whole
viii find such laugh was premature
For here, too, lies sole.
And here five little ones repose,
Twin-born with other five,
Unheeded by their brother toes,
Who all are now alive.
A leg, q foot--to speak more plain
Rest here OF one commanding,
Who, though his wits he might retain,
Lost half his understanding.
And when the guns, with thunder fraught
Pourd bullets thick as hail,
Gould only In this way be taught
To give the foe leg bail.
And now In England, just as gay
AS In the battle brave,
Goes to the rout, review, or play,
With one foot In the grave.
Fortune in vain here showd her spite,
For he will still be found,
Should England's sons engage in fight,
Resolved to stand his ground.
But Fortunes pardon must beg;
She meant not to disarm;
And when she lOpp'd the hero's leg,
She did not seek his harm,
And but INDUCED harmless whm,
Since he could walk with one:
She saw two legs were lost on him
Who never meant to run.

IVtloHINEIUU
Judge Black, 1t seems, has hard time get
ting his pay for rescuing Belknap from i'm
parchment. 1t Is said that the venerable
Judge, when asked how he could conscien-
tiously undertake to defend confes 5ed de-
linquent like Beknap, reioined that he was a
lawyer, that Washington was in his field of
practice, and that there seemed to be only
two methods of getting living in Washing
ton-one by robbing the government and the
other by defending the thieves when they
We're caught. The Judges experience in the
Belknap case admonishes lawyers that the
fees for defending Radical thieves must be
collected strictly In advance.

m anding Victor Nipperts manufacture of gem

Urge importer of this kind Of goods from

making his enterprise one OF home manufac-
ture. His cutters are talented and stylish and
he uses none but the best domestics and f1nest

In his own private house. where he has superior
accommodations for that purpose. Everything

prices, whilst at the same time he guarantees
perfect ht and satisfaction in every respect.
