Of the Every Epeniro gets hold of them
but IL kept within ourselves, they will dc
no harm. Mr.. Thatcher, said upon pick
ing up the Ecey Evening with the report
in, he was surprised to find that 1t not
only left out all that was good, but put In
all that was bad.
Bro. Mann being asked IL he did not
invite the reporter OF the l.. Il. there on
Monday last, replied that he not only
did not invite him, but was surprised to
see him there taking his remarks down
In shorthand, and they were served up
in the usual style of EUerp Evening. The
action of the meeting in excluding re-
porters was unwise. Preachers should
behave themselves in such a manner as
not to be disturbed by the devil or Every
Evening.
Rev. j. c. Caldwell, said he thought
the language used by Bro. Mann was
very strong, IL puts the church in false
position, and renders 1t liable to be as
saulted. There will be hypocrifs in the
church and always will be until the whsle
world is converted to God. A fair con-
clusion of Bro. Mann's remarks would
make it appear that the whole church Is
going to ruin. He did believe that
the N. e. Church has more power to-day
than ever before and contained more
Godliness and more shining lights.
After further remarks by Revs. Cald-
well, Plummer, Quigg, and DIR. Nixon, of
Central Presbyterian Church, the meet
ing adjourned with the beue dotion by
Rev. Mr.. Quigg.

Hon. Montgomery Blair ON the
Political Situation.

Hon. Montgomery Blair has addressed
a letter to the editor of The Crisis, a
greenback organ printed in Philadelphia,
i'll which he indulges in some observa-
tions on the political situation. Mr..
Blair contends that the present condition
Of the country is due to the fact "that the
government has been perverted from its
lesitlma object of protecting the people
and made the instrument of plundering
them" and says the workingmen are
clearly right in specifying, as one of the
modes, "in which the dominant party has
perverted power to their injury, their fos-
tering Of the monopolies by which so
great portion of the earnings of labor
have been devoured, and especially the
national banking system, which is justly
obnoxious" Mr.. Blair says the most
significant result of the workinginen's
movement is that ''iL has brought the
democratic Organization TO its old-time
attitude of open ond determined antagon-
ism to the money power, with which too
many of our chiefs have hitherto been in
secret alliance" and concludes:
"At this moment, therefore, the demo-
cratic and workingmen's organizations
substantially az ee in opposing subsidies
of money or land, in reducing expendl-
lures; In exposing and detecting fraud,
in substituting greenbacks for national
bank notes, and generally in relieving
labor from taxation. The democratic
organization does not accept some other
ideas of the nationals, but its thorough
acceptance of the anti-monopoly creed
places its entire accord with the nationals
in opposing the money power which now
holds the government, to which all the
suilerings of the worklngmen are confess
sedly due, during whose continuance in
power no prosperity whatever can be ex-
pected, and whose overthrow is therefore
a necessity first, alike to democrats and
nationals"

THE HOP CROP.
WHOLE FAMILIES GONE INTO THE FIEL.
AS PICKEEs.

WHOLE FAMILIES GONE INTO THE FIELDS
AS PICKEEs,
great many hops are raised In the
region about Utica, y. Y, and Septem-
Der Is the season for picking. Not less
than 2 800 Uticans have gone to the hon
helds during the past ten days. Men and
women, boys amp girls, are all employed.
Whole families find-places for these
three memorable weeks of the year. They
are furnished with an abudance of hearty
and nourishing food, and treated, at
table, as II they were the guests of a
country tavern. Hard as the work is, il
does not dull their taste for amusements.
In the evening, dances are arranged for
their benefit, and the enliveninR strains
OF The fiddle are heard far and wide,
viewed from strictly practical stand
point, there would appear to he nothing
attractive in the busi ness of picking hops.
A Utica exchange says: In the present
depressed state of the business twenty
hve cents a box is all that Is paid. A
Dox contains seven bushels. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that about 81 cents a
Dushel covers the pecuniary reward of
the occupation. 1t is downright hard
work. The hops have a trick OF clinging
to the vines, and the vines appear to take
malicious pleasure in scratching all
hands that are found ungloved To pick
twen y-one bushels of hops (whi ch is con.
sidered fair days limit for skilled
picker requires as much physical exer-
tlon as lazy man would be able to de.
VeloD IN month.
The hop picker must go early to the
held and must stay late. AT the very best
he can make rs cents a day The hop
pickers are not given to rhapsodies over
the weather, but as many of them are
confined in close factories and dusty
workshops, in small rooms and ill-venti.
lated houses most of the time, they enjoy

odor OF the hops. They comeback strongcr

NJ Moreover, most Of them bring f,om ST!

NEW ORLEANs, Sep pa special
despatch to the Democrat from Coushatta
says Y Yesterday the Democratic Conven-
ton at Natchitoches nominated candi-
dates to the Assembly. The negroes,
under the leadership of Blunt
Breda, and others, came in force, making
incendiary speeches, threatening the
Convention and causing it's adjour lment
which caused considerable excitement
Armed bodies of armed bodies of negroes
fiocked in to the town. Creda was ar.
rested: ::and dispatches have been receiv.
here from Natchitoches calling for az.
sistance. Coushatta responded promptly
and the country is aroused At this
moment firing has commenced on the
picket, and one negro is reported killed
