In anticipation Of grand pow-wow of
the so-called Laboring Mans Association
which was announced to be held at Blue
Bucket Hall last Sunday afternoon, we
detailed reporter to take notes of the
proceedings. The following is his report,
vevbatim
WoRKINGhEN's ASSOCIATION,
No audience; consequently, no meeting"
We commend the document as model
Of brevity, worthy Of imitation by the
average amateur quill-driver, who is
never 80 we'll pleased with himself as
when he can spread six lines of informa-
ton over half a column of space and OBJ
scure two or three poor little facts in a
bushel measure of high sounding senten-
ces and trite phrases. We understand
the leading spirits of the strike move
ment-if indeed we are justified in using
the plural-claim that there would have
been q large meeting, but that they de-
cided it was not advisable to hold it at
that time. What reasons are advanced
for the decision we have not heard
Messrs. w. H. Green and J. N. Vance, two
we'll known young colored men from New
Orleans, came up on the Natchez Satur-
day night for tho purpose Of addressing
the expected assemblage, but their servi-
ces were not called into requisition and
they returned TO the city by Sunday
evenings train. 1t has been announced
that parish convention will be held
here tomorrow to effect an organization
Of the association, and that mass-meet-
ing will be set for an early day at which
Messrs. Vance and Green will be asked
to speak. From all parts of the parish
we hear that the solid, sensible aud in
telligent colored men are repudiating the
miscalled laborers' movement and will
not be so easily duped, fooled out.of their
money and made catspaws Of for giving
political influence to men who can not
attain it in legitimate manner. Not
withstanding the pretensions to the
contrary, the failure of last Sundays
projected meeting is generally regarded
as forerunner Of the collapse of the |

The removal Of Gen. Allen Thomas
from the parish has caused a vacancy in
our Jury Commission which Judge
Cheevers will doubtless fill by appoint
ment at an early day. The present mem-
bers of the Commission are Messrs. n
Bel, Henry G. Braud, Austin Duncan
and L. E. Bentley, Clerk Of Court. It
will be necessary for the Commissioners
to assemble during the coming month or
early in December to draw juries for
service at the February term of the Dis
tr;ct Court.

The unfortunate man who died in the
old railroad depot building Sunday night
of last week, and whose demise was re-
ported in the last number of the CH1EF,
was Martin Damon, native of Ireland,
about 40 years of age. Coroner Vande-
griff held an inquest on the remains on
Tuesday, and the jury concluded that
the cause Of death was general debility,
resulting from hard drinking and expos
ure. The body was buried at public
expense.

Mr.. JENNINGS, formerly editor Of the
New York Herald, but now its London
correspondent, in recent letter, says oil
President Arthur: when began an at'
tack on the Tammany ring, the first man TO
come forward with encouragement and
friendly counsel was General Arthur.
Throughout that contest he was far more
active in helping to destroy the ring than
some others upon whom | had right to DO
pend Cor support. They often wavered and
were dishearlened, but in General Arthur
found to the last q staunch and unsSaken
ally. Ho incurred many personal anlmosi-
ties by endesvoring to serve the journal and
the cause which was conducting, but
nothing would turn him from what no re-
garded as his duty. In many subsequent
political complications 1 always found him
aclusted by the highest sense Of honor
free from tho slighes. faint of suspicion OF
political obbery. ha never once asked
the smallest favor for himself, whether
in or out of Office. If, as | have been
informed, no has since been assaied by tho
journal which ho once SO greatly assisted in
trying times in thousand different ways,
feel bound to assert that it is most base
ungrateful and uugonerous act, prompted by
personal malice, the causes of which could
be easily explained. When explained, 1t Is
not General Arthur who would suffer in the
estimation of the American people. Through
some years OF anxiety and difficulty III pub
lie affairs, in which it WAS my 10! to take n"
insignificant part, knew him intimately, aud
man of purer patriotism or lottier sense
OF honor have never known In this or any
other country, Time will triumph
antly yinlicste him from elandercus at
tacks, whether in New York or in London.

the suspicion that Senator JONES' OF Nevada
will take MIR. Kirkwood's place.

Lucien Wolf, editor of the jewish World
in AL article in the Nineteenth Century
remarks:
In he early biblical times tho Jews, so far
from being money grabbers, we're romati-
cally Arcndinn people. In tho highest
degree pootical in all their ideas. they knew
no other occupation than agriculture, and
thcro are but few Jewish laws relating to
earning ones living which are not based on
the assumption that agriculture would al.
ways 10 the principal interest 10 be catered
for. During their Egyptian slavery the
Jews had to do hard work, if over people
had TO, and on their entrance to tho land of
Canaan they bad to fight stoully and bravely.
In Palestine their occupations we're prnci-
pal.y in tho field and whey ard, and about the
time OF Jesus they began to devote some
attention to industry there being every
proof, according to Gesenius, that they were
proficient MS potters, weavers, furriers. rope
makers, goldsmths, bnsKelmskers, blilders,
stonemasons, scapboil0rs, engravers, pewter
ers, miners, coppersmi.hs, cutters ard
locksmilhs. According TO Schleidon, they
were able physicians, poets Judges, musiciaus
and theologians, and three of thcir tribes
(Zsbulum, Dan and Assur). living on the
coast OF the Mediterranean divided the I'M
port and export trade with Pnonccians. They
were also good soldiers aud astute generals,
and so far from being avorso to military
service, they were subject TO severe CON
scription by which every young man entered
the army when he reached his Goth year.
Nor did they abandon these occupations
when their temple WAS destroyed and their
homes devastated. In tho Roman empire
they were farmers and vinedFeistrs, handi-
craftsmen ard manufacturers, wholesale
merchants, soldiers, physicians, scientists
and state officials. Tho influence which
drove tho Jews from these honorable occups-
tions was the influence OF dominant,
revongotul AID bigoted Christianity, which,
with It's adoption rs tho state religion of tho
Roman empire by Constantine in 1913 A. C.,
immediaetly devoted liz attention to iutensi-
Tying the hatred which had long divided
Jews and Christians.
