merce or manufacture had become
powerful. The poor man being not
so intelligent as at present, finding
an oppressor in one man of wealth,
reasoned that all who occupied q
station above him were oppressors.
All rich men were supposed to be
natural enemies to the poor. They
could not distinguish between rich
men and RICH men This feeling of
hatred became hereditary in degree
and the improved intelligence of the
laboring classes failed to teach them
that it was not class, but individu-
ais who were their oppressors. The
consequence was THAT when occasion
offered to gain an advantage over
their employers, it was not often neg
lected. The knowledge of this
made even wen-inteutioned masters
suspicious, and thinking that no
mercy would be shown them in diff
cult situations, they felt that self
preservation demanded that they
should make every effort to keep
the workman in their power. They
were in manner compelled by cir
cumstances to keep the ball rolling
which had been set in motion by
others.
In few years, if employers gener-
ally would follow the example now
set for them, the labor troubles would
cease. There will always be some
men too greedy to care for anything
but their own gain, but the working
man has become to- intelligent to con-
found the individual with the class
any longer, and the rich man would
soon discover that his mechanics
were at bottom as good men as him
self, and just as willing TO act fairly

1.-TWO Hearts That Beat as One"
As ANNOUNCED in the LEDGER last
week, Miss Matte Craddock of this
city, and Hon. Walker Sears of La
Plata, Macon County, were married
at the residence of the brides father
last night by the Rev. DIR. Yeaman.
Quite a number of invited guests
were present, and a pleasant evening
was enjoyed by all. A large number
of costly and appropriate presents
we're presented to the happy couple.
The bride look ID lovely i'll her dress
Of wine silk, vevet and brocaded
satan combination, with square train
over dress of Spanish lace, looped
with white lilacs and lilies. Orna-
ments, pearls. The dress was most
becoming, and what is more, much to
the credit of the young lady, it was
made entirely by herself. How many
young ladies could prepare their
t~rosseau? The supper was elegant,
consisting of all the delicacies the
the market afforded, whether in or out
of season. The newly-wedded couple
left at once for their new home in
Macon county. They will spend the
winter at Jefferson City, Mr.. Sears
being Representative elect of Macon
county.

dinance was passed published else

which repeats the other ordinance
and restraints cows from running at
large at all. We think, perhaps,
the law is now rs it should be. If a
man is able to own a COW he IS able
to support her. Anyway, no mar
wants to support another mans COW
unless he milks her after dark. Cows
on the street are a nuisance.

John Kelly was removed last week
from the Office of Comptroller of New
York City. Although removed from
that Office, he will still have a great
influence in elections in that city ; but
we trust this will teach him a lesson,
and he will in the future think more
of his patty than he does of himself.
He accomplished his purpose, and
elected Grace as Mayor, and still lost
his place. The Republicans made
big mistake when they deposed Johr
