LABOR AND LABORERS.

Operators and Miners of the Brazil District
Satisfied with the New Scale.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL, Ind, Feb. 27.-The success of the Co
lumbus convention in inaugurating an era of
good will. in the adjustment of wages and all
other questions as between miners and operators,
is very gratifying to the operators, business men,
and even miners themselves. in this district
The only objection to the Pittsburg scale came
from the miners here, as it was ntimatsd in the
Journal prior to the conventions; but that obiec-
ton grew out of the fact that our
block coal miners were not represent
ed at Pittsburg when the scale was
drawn up. The objection does not fault the
30 cents per ton so much, as it insisted on
graded price suited to the work necessary to the
mining of the coal. OF course, in veins two and
half or three feet thick there is more labor
connected with mining than in four-foot vein.
This graded price, however, has never been
paid; hence no serious disappointment will re-
suit. The miners in not one of the five States
federated together will be more loyal to the let
ter of the compact than the miners here. It
should be remembered that the movement
eliminating In the Columbus convention was
lnaugurated by the miners Of this
district largely. Undoubtedly trouble would
have resulted had it not been for the result at
tanned. Work is unusually slack in the district,
many of the mines running but half the time,
while many again are making but one day in the
week. The falling off is due to the spring and
summer seasons being now on, but work is more
slack this year than usual, showing that there
must be stagnation among the large manufactur
ing establishments of the country dependant on
coal

Of all the stories relating to the origin of the

Florida, to neglect his senatorial duties and me-

the whole trouble is to be attributed to picture
In the Corcoran Art Gallery. This painting is
by Muller, and represents the famous Charlotte
Corday standing behind the prison bars on the
morning before her execution. 1t is voted by all
visitors to be the finest piece of art in the gall
lery. The face of the girl is more than beauti-
full it has around il halo of sublimity. The
expression is a matter for study being strange
commlngling of determination, deep sorrowful-s
ness and dreamy tenderness. No lover of the
beautiful ever passes that picture without pro-
longed scrutiny. What have these details to
do with the love-smtten Senator from Florida

it. Of course the neck was several feet in

but being so near, the committee instantly pro-
tested against its length. and what is WORSE they
actually ordered that several feet be cut off of it
A first protest was made against such thing,

Upon receiving the above, General Grant
promptly wrote to President Lincoln, cordially
recommending the promotion of Sherman and
Mcpherson.
Three weeks later. General Grant, in the midst
of long official letter to General Halleck,
turned aside from the thread of the letter to
write:
VIcKsBURG Miss. Aug IA 1863.
L feel under many obligations to you Gen.
eral for the interest you have taken in my well
fare and that of the army have the honor to COM
mand I will do the best know how to satisfy you
that your confidence has not been misplaced.
A few weeks later Halleck was thus privately
defending General Grant to Secretary Stanton:
WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov Is, 1868.
1t has been alleged, and the allegation has
been widely circulated by the President that General
Grant in the conduct of his campaign positively dis
obeyed the instructions of his superiors 1t is hardly
necessary to remark that General Grant disc:
beyed order instruction but always carried out,
to the best of his ability every wish suggestion
made to him by the government; moreover, he has
complained that the government did not furnish
him ali the means and assistance in its power to facil
tate the execution of any plan which he saw fit to
adopt.
When the war closed, Halleck is found prompt
to extend, and Grant prompt to accept. the hos
pitality of the formers home. The following
kilograms tell of the incident:
