To the Editor of the Pittsburg Post
Pittsburgh, Oct. IA 1880 Can any
one explain why Messrs. John Moorhead
Bro. & Co., Of the Vesuvius Iron Works
at Sharpsburg, pay their laboring men
l,25 per day, while the Etna Iron Works
Co, pay their men 70 Is it, perhaps,
that the Moorhead Brothers are Demo
Gratis, while we know the Etna managers
are in favor of Garfield the free trader?
The firm of Moorhead does not antici

Jeremiah Briggs, resident Of jamaica,
L. l., attended 4 political meeting held on
Saturday evening in the old Olympic thea
trc, on Fulton avenue, which is now used
as the headquarters Of tho Democratic
Constitution club. While listening to the
speaking Mr.. Briggs tainted and became
unconscious. His condition was not no.
ticcd by any of the assemblagc, and when
the meeting adjourned they all passed out,
leaving him. He did not become con-
scions again until nearly daylight Oh Sun
day morning. He tried to move, but was
unable todo 50, and seemed to be para
lyzed. Neither could hc make a noise loud
enough to lie heard, so nc remained all
day in the seat he bad taken on Saturday
night. At II o'clock a letter carrier heard
4 noise like that Of a man groaning in the
place and he notified the police. Two
officers Of the First precinct broke open
the doors and removed Briggs, who was
in an exhausted state, to the Washington
street station. !Ic was attended by the
surgeon, and next morning lie
was sufficiently recovered TO return to his
home.

The Reaction.

The Democratic party throughout the
country is feeling the effects Of decided
and general reaction in its favor.
The union .; all contending
elements in New York, which
Republicans hoped and claime'! that
the adverse result in Indiana would
prevent, has inspired the Democratic
organization with singular zeal and con-
fidence. 1t is notable that in many quar-
ters where before the Western elections
it was difficult to arouse the Democracy
to efficient organization and close CAM
paign work, they are now thoroughly
aroused to the necessity and to the ex-
ercisr cf just the Kind OF political ener-
gy that is essential to poll their full vote.
What has been seen in this community
is the common report from every section,
that Democratic meetings were never
SO we'll attended, and Democratic organ
ization never sothorOugh. II, as the Re-
publicans claim, Maine was a godsend TO
them in awakening them to their danger
Of defeat, ten-fold was the lesson Of the
West useful to our people.
As the matter stands now New York
will be carried by the Democrats. There
is no reason apparent why the Demo-
cratic majority should fall below that of
1876. New Jersey is propertionately one
of the most decided Democratic states
in the country, and there is no reason to

COURT OF COMMON Pleas.
Before Judge Patterson.

Yesterday afternoon tho case Of Oliver
p. Brubaker VS.. Christian Sensenig was
attached. Tho history Of this case is as
follows In tho year 1877 the defendant
held judgment against George Russell
for s444.45. This judgment he transferred
to the plaintiff, after receiving promissory
note for $500. The note was discounted ut
the Waynesburg bank, in Chester county,
ami the plaintiff received something like
1885, after he had paid the discount. He
now brings this suit to recover the balance
due OH the judgment.
The defense was that Scnseni. agreed to
pay but $500 for the Judgement. At the
time the plaintiff told him that he would
arrange the balance with Russell. Geo.
Russell was called and he corrOborated
Sensenig in regard to the agreement; lie
also testified that he paid the balance Of
the judgement by giving Brubakcr bull.
In rebuttal Brubaker was called and hs
stated that the ball given him by Russell
was in payment for another debt, which
he (RusseD owed him. and that the bal
.nce on the judgement which he claims to
b. due him has never been paid.
The jury rendered verdict in favor OF
the plaintiff for s71.51, the full a.nonnt

continuity, the integrity Of the German

centuries the emblem Of a mutilated

NEW YORK AROUSED.
The Campaign bitterly Contested.

The Campaign Bitterly Contested.
New York Dispatch to the Times.
The last week of the campaign opens
with the utmost activity at the national
Democratic headquarters. Everyone there
is cheerful beyond expression and all arc
bending to their work with more resolu-
tion and vim than has been seen before in
the campaign. The fight has been red-hot
in New Ork state, upon which the result
SO largely hinges. Naturally enough when
all are working so busily they have little
time for gossip, hence it is that there is
nothing alarminsly new in the general
situation. Tho one thing apparent
above all is that new life and
vigOr and carnestness have been
impaired to the campaign by the Demo
Gratis. The thinking members Of
the national committee who arc not given
to speech unless they have honest convic-
tions to express say today that Hancock s
the past four OR five days and he is likely
to be elected. They point to the fact that
the roll of Northern states which Han.
cock has an even chance of carrying has
been swellcd very much, now embracing
Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut,
New York, New Jersey, Indiana, CAL
ifornia, Nevada and Oregon. New York,
New Jersey and one more are all that is
| necessary to win the battle. Ono of tic
| most confident men at headquarters to-
night was Samuel Randall. In a private
conversation not intended fer the public
car he expressed himself as really expect
ing to sec General Hancock elected. 1t is
in such private talks that the Democratic
managers convince visitors Of their SINGER
ity. The reasons they give are that daily
advices from trusted agents attest that the
tariff question argument has spentits force
J and is more than discounted by Garfield S
Chinese immigration views that the peo-
pie have become convinced that the
so-called Republican victory in
Indiana was gained by unblusl,-
ing frauds; that Republican bulldozing
by employers is reacting upon the party
and making votes for Hancock that the
evidences Of Republican attempts to colon.
ize voters il New York city and in Florida
and carry elections by fraud are disgu st
ing honest men. These are the newest
causes Of the reaction in favor Of Hancock,
and the Democrats are very confident that
they will elect him. There is no brag and
bluster at Democratic headquarters, as
there is with the Republican leaders. The
Democrats are quietly but earnestly watch
ing every sign OF the times and arc miss
ing no chances. The very best speakers
in the party are now at work in the state,
and more than a hundred meetings night
will be held this week. The Democrats
confidently expect 10000 majority in New
York state.

THE RlGRTs OF OFwORKIxGMEN.
A Spirited Appeal to Independent Men.
For ti,n Y,TEyrycrxrYp

Spirited Appeal to Independent Men.
For the IsTEILyGExcER.
Independence is the jewel brightest of
all to the workingman. To be deprived
Of it is to be slave. When the employer
eoesces Or intimidates his employee he
takes from him his independence, and low
crs him to the condition occupied by the
slave made free by civil strife. The Re-
publican party has sought to array capi-
tai against labor-to draw line between
rich and poor as prominent as that estab-
lished in foreign empires between king
and peasant. Is this right? Is not this
contrary to all pure American institutions? !?
Are not your rights as citizens as dear to
you as as theirs When they ask you to
vote for Garfield have You not as much
right to ask them to vote for Hancock.
But ii You We're to ask Of them that how
long would you be in their employ If
you were to post placards in your
work rooms. as they have done, You would,
no doubt, be out Of employment. Do
they not do this :
The capitalist can't get along without IL
Dor. You have rights as dear as theirs.
Yours is = kingship rs we'll defined as
theirs. When they tell you you must vote
| for Garfield OF leave their employ, they ex-
pect by attacking that which is as near
and dear to you as them-your wife and
little ones, for whose welfare and happi-
ness YOU toil-you will succumb to their
wish rather than see those at home suffer.
They claim to own you and yours, and
transfer you at their a.ish like chattels. BY
their threats and coercion they put you in
the same position occupied by the slaves in
tho gal!cys Of old. Show them that with
all their intimidations you are still
men, and will act as such. Defy
their will :; rebukc the insult ;
crystallize your will in the ballot box and
assert the equality Of labor with capital
which if arrayed against each other ell
dangers ali our American institutions made
sacred by long usage. "Freedom ofspeccl
and the natural rights OF citizens was the
keynote struck on the instrument Of pub
| lie approval by our fathers in the days OF
Revolutionary struggle, and has rcsounded
and re-echoed through our first century,
only to become grander and more sublime
when swclled into Ecw song with truel
instincts as penned again in civil strife
| by him whose ancestors gave it birth.

l'annSy;vania Republicans lSUrnin. Gen
Hancock in EhRyy

On Friday night, 18th inst, "a Republican
mob, while celebrating the result Of the
Indiana election, publicly burned in effigy
Gen. Hancock, in the streets of Lacyville,
Wyoming county, Pa. This outrage was
perpetratcd Immediately in front of the
premises Of B. ". Edwards, who at the time
OF this occurrence was 4 candidate on the
Republican ticket for state senator. The
district is composed Of the counties OF
Bradford and Wyoming. He has.since
withdrawn, leaving the field open to the
Hon. W. 7. Davies, the present incum-
bent.
The act above mentioned, it is but fair
t, say. was condemned by many leading
Republicans Of the vicinity, though no ef-
fort was made to prevent it during the
time Of its occurrence. 4 local justice Of
the peace gave fuel to the flames by pour
ing kerosene upon the burning efigy.
This dastardly performance has excited
much lively indignation among the Demo
Gratis Of the district (Which, by the way, is
strongly Republican, but it was jeeringly
gloried in By the mob, and openly boasted
of afterwald. It seems worth while to
make note of such an outrage done on
the soil of Pennsylvania to her son and her
defender.

Reynolds beautiful and costly memorial
tomb. 1t is solid block of Quincy granite
perhaps eight feet long, three feet wide
and three feet in height. 1t is of chaste
design. and so elaborately polished that it
shines like mirror. On the top of the
tomb is secured heavy brOnzed anchor,
and in the stone is cut the name Of the
admiral and the date of his death. The
tomb is very beautiful one and of the
finest workmanship, creditable alike to
the distinguished officer in whose honor
it was erected, to the loving relations ON
whose order it was procured, and to the
skill aud taste Of Major Howell by whom
the work was done.

4 Lively Day In Reading.

There was quite little excitement on
Third street yesterday over tho "boom'
in the price cf Reading shares, which OPEN
ing at 2Os, sold rapidly up to 233, with
sharp fluctuations meanwhile. Various
reasons are given for the sharp advance,
among them being arumored large demand
from England for anthracite coal-a rea-
son that was pronounced absured at the
Office of the Reading railroad company
and All agreement between representatives
Of American and English interests for an
adjustment of the company's troubles.
The general opinion was that the fluctua-
tions were the result Of wild speculation
and the existence Of a large number Of
"short" contracts that have to be settled
this week.
