Labor Troubles i'm St. Charles
and st. John Parishes.
BY EMERSON BENTLEY.

BY EMERSON BENTLEY.
During the year 1877 it was noted
in these columns that the extended
discussion of the great Northern labor
strikes was infusing Southern work
ingmen with kindred spirit. The
demonstrated inefficiency Of mill
tia to cope with the issues involved; F;
the tendency to organization among
workingnen; and the possible per-
nicious influences to epsue therefrom,
we're also alluded to. It was then
believed to be good policy to autici-
pate illadvised efforts Ly giving the
labor questions the best interpreta-
ton favoring the rights Of the labor
ing class. Recent events indicate
that position to have been correct.
1t appears from the general infor-
nation in regard to the labor troubles
in the parishes of St. Charles and St.
John, this State, that plantation la
borers, to tie number of several hun
dred, believed seventy five cents per
day and rations was insufficient for
the support Of themselves and families.
Ii their opinion one dollar was fair
compensation. They formed associa-
tions to secure that object. They
adopted the usual pledges to stand by
each other, and initiated the Molly Ma
guires of Pennsylvania, by providing
for the phys steal punishment of men,
bers who should prove untrue to their
VOWS. They began strike; bad feel
ing was created among the planters,
who charged them with trespass !;
they endeavored 20 compel laborers
to quit work and join them, and
tlogged anfaithful members accord
ing to the rule of their association.
The State militia ended the strikes.
The large number of laborers en-
gagged in these strikes may be taken
as indisputable evidence that there
was some considerable cause of dis
satisfaction on their part. The de-
Mand for an advance of wages was
believed to be unreasonable and was
refused by the planters. At this juno
ture an amicable interchange of views
was in order, although it does not ap-
pear to haye suggested itself to either
side in the controversy. The ]aborer
has some rights; the planter also.
The labOrer best understands the
needs of his own household the
planter the markets upon which the
value of his produce and the rate of
wages must depend, as a general rule.
A conference between a representa-
tive committee Of planters, and one
of the strikers, might have been held,

THOSE MAINE JUDGES.
tFrom the Boston Post.l

1t is well to keep the action of the
supreme court OF Maine on "tech-
uically defective returns" before the
people, until the Inconsistency of the
court is lastiugly impressed on the
public mind. On the 22d of Decem-
Der, 1877. it gave the following opin-
ion, signed by Judges Appleton,
Walton, BarrOws, Danfortb. Peters
and Dibby, viz: "It is to be regret
ted that votes are lost by the negli-
gence of town off &C RS, but the obvious
remedy is to choose such as know
their duty, and, knowing it, will
perform it," On the 3d of January
this same court, i'll answer to in
quiries put to it by Governor Gar
lcelon, declared that "the representa-
tive is not to be deprived of his
right because municipal officers
have neglected their duty" a.

questions undoubtedly drawn up by

ments of facts, and emanating from
persons .purportiDg to be president
of the senate and speaker of the
house respectively, the same court
replied mo person is to be deprived
of his position because of the derelic-
ton of those whose duty it was to
send i'll the rtturns." We ask every
reader to note carefully the opinion
last quoted, compare it with the one
rendered on the 22d Of December,
1877, covering the same state of facts,
and then say if it is to be wondered
at that very high degree Of respect
for the supreme court of Maine does
not exist. The judges are all republic
cans but Judge Dibby, and he advised
Gov. Garcelom, in conversation, that
his method of canvassing the vote
was strictly legal. Afterward, he
says, he changed his mind after con-
sultation with the other judges.

twenty -four years of age at the time of
his death, as fne looking soldier on
horseback as ever saw.
That every union man in the state
thought that Mcneil did good thing
in shooting those ten men, and also
seventeen at Kirksville, was not the
case at all. Union men in Palmyra and
throughout the country condemned the
act as a wanton murder. and on the
morning of the execution, and before it
took place. Mcneil slipped to the de-
pot and stole off to St. Louis by way OF
the Hannibal & St. Joseph. railway. !
was paroled prisoner, and had the
freedom of the city limits, and know
whereof 1 write. Men went about for
those ten days of awful suspense, re-
gardless of politics, and talked of some
way to save the Innocent yet doomed
men, and many believed that twenty
thousand dollars would have saved theil
lives. but feared to approach, the tyran,
on the subject. Mcneil left that brute
in human shape, Richard Strachn, tc
superintend the execution. But my ar
ticle is to defend my comrades from the
charge of being called red-banded out
laws or bushwhackers. They were
neither, but were regularly enrolled

panies and regiments.

truth. Respt'ly. Jos. A. EDMoNDs.
