A Labor Move.

One of the most significant labor move
ments recorded for some time is the recent
arrival of $50 men, women and children at
Bridgeport, Connecticut, from Sheffield,
England. This is the advance of 500 work.
men, with their families who are to arrive
in this country during the next two months,
and who are to be established in the cutlery
works at Bridgeport. These men are all
skilled in the several departments of pocket
cutlery manufacture, and have chiefly
been employed by Rogers Brothers and
Wostenholm, the well known British
cutlery firms. At Sheffield the men have
for about year been working on short
time. They are brought out by the Bridge
port manufacturers, under no stipulated
agreement for wages, but are promised
steady work, and pay according to the
current rates of wages" or at " fair valu-
alton upon the skill'' of each artisan. The
business is wholly Yankee enterprise.
American steel is used, and these expert
Sheffield workmen assert that it is equal to
anything they have worked upon abroad.
Two hundred. more workmen are soon to
arrive, and tenements are being prepared
in Bridgeport for their occupancy. If the
men and their families are contented one
thousand will be brought over by the mid
die of the winter, and the making of
shears, razors, surgical instruments and
the very choicest cutlery goods will be en-
tered into, with the hope of soop wholly
superseding the imported articles. The
immigration of these workmen is potent
evidence of the advance of the United
States as rival of England in manufac-
lures. 1t was necessary of course to en-
ploy skilled workmen from abroad, but
eventually both material and workmen will
be American.

A Lucky Find.

SAN FRANcIsco, August 8. : Some par
ties in this city, who have been working up
the matter for some time past, have discov-
cred the wreck of the steamer ''Brother
Jonathan" which foundered off Point
st. George, near Crescent City, in July,
1865. She lies in an upright position, in
about % fathoms of water, and about 20
fathoms Of water and about so fathoms
from the submerged rock on which she is
supposed to have struck.
There was about $l,O0O,OOO in treasury
notes and BULLION in her safe, nd the find
ers are fitting out an expedition for their
recovery. The treasure belonged to the
government whose claim is held TO have
lapsed on the expiration Of ten years after
the loss.

The Crusade Of the Police on The Theatrical
Sabbath Breakers Of The Paris
Of America.

CINCINNATI, December 7.-Last night
the Police Commissioners issued an order
directing the Superintendent Of Police to
arrest all persons found performing on
Sunday in any one OF the theatrical, yR-
riety or concert shows. The result WIS
that most OF the shows that were usually
open on Sunday closed their doors, butat
Heuck's Opera House aud one or two otl.-
ers, the performance began. The police
promptly arrested everybody they could
find violating the order. About lfty per.
sons were arrested, all OF whom vaye bail.
Tonight not theatrical or concert hall Is
open.
All day Vine street, upon which most OF
these places arc located, has been filled
with people, apparently not knowing how
to ospend their time. Ithas been estimated
that the attendance on Sunday places of
amusements here has grown 10 be from
three TO five times as great as upon ali Tue
churches. Recently the latter has en.
gagged the attention OF the newspapers and
the City Council, and this movement nav
be in response to public sentiment.
II is claimed, however, by the nropric.
tors that they are violating no law, and
taey look with confidence to acquittal in
the Police Court. One establishment an
nounces that 1t will open at l2 tonight.
All the lower concert halls promptly
obeyed the order TO close, aud thus avoided
arrest. There was 10 effort tonight to
proceed, except at the Grand Opera
House, where the door was opened but
upon notice by the police, the audience
was dismissed, and their money refunded.
Drinkingsaloons are crowded everywhere
and several 'over the Rhine" theatres
have converted their auditoriums into beer
saloons, and are doing good business.
TWO oil them announce that a regular per-
lormanCe will begin at ls o'clock
tonight. This raid by the police
commissioners created much excite
ment, and its purpose and effect
are variously estimated. There is
no doubt very widespread feeling
among the people not holding orthodox
views; that there is danger to the com.
munity from a very general breaking
away from ordinary restraints Of law and
custom, but there Is a question whether
this raid, in the interest OF good order, is
not instlgated by. q desire TO effect person.
al or political ends. 1t is charged tonight
BY proprietor OF one of the theatres who
has q license, that this movement was
made at the instance OF one who has not
license, but who has some influence in
local politics. The arrested parties all
look hopefully for vindication tomorrow
in the Police Court.

CLEVELAND, O., December G,-There are
now many indications Of an interesting
fight here in a short time on the question
Of taxation Of church property. Many in.
lluential citizens, heavy taxpayers, have
already spoken in favor Of taxing the
churches, and have taken action looking
In that direction. The ministers generally
and many prominent church members are
opposed TO the proposed taxation, and, II
Is said, will do everything In their power
TO defeat any legislation which may come
up at Columbus relative to the matter.

PURPOSES or THE coLoRED EXODUS.
Two hundred and forty colored people
are housed In negro church here, await.
ing the raising Oi funds to take them on
TO Indiana. They are from Greene Coun.
ty, North Carolina. By pooling their
purses they had sufficient money to
bring them hero, but no more. About
twelve hundred dollars Is required to take
them to their destination. Meantime
they are led by the charity Of the colored
people. The work Of collecting funds
goes on very slowly. Secretary Evarts
gave ten dollars and the Presidents iami.
~ tilteen, which are the largest single sub
scriptions yet received. This party does
not not complain OF political persecution
and inability TO vote, but say that they
can get nothing for their work in North
Carolina. Their object in migrating to
Indiana Is to gel work and enough 10 eat
for their labor. II does not seem to be a
political move In any sense, but move In
the direction Of meat and bread. Ro.
ports meet them here that the first batch
which went to Indiana are doing well,
finding plenty to do at fair wages. These
reports ure sent back to North Carolina by
such as can write, and there is no telling
what dimensions the exodus will assume.
