Another Lockout Threatened.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June ga great lock out
of planning mill employees and carpenters
fifteen thousand in all, is threatened. When
the demands for eight hours was made by
the planning mill employees it was refused
and majority of the employers combined
to uphold the old ten hour system. The
Phoenix Mill, however, remained outside oil
the combination and settled with their men
OF the basis Of nine hours work per day and
an advance of ten per cent. in wages. This
was not satisfactory to the Amalgamated
Council of Building Trades, and strike has
been ordered The men refused to obey the
order and tho council boycotted the Pho

several OF the master builders to abandon
their work in hand, and meeting yester,
day adopted resolution, the purport oil
which was that unless the boycott on the
mill shall be raised before Monday next on
that day all building or business connected
with it will be stopped This action is Of
great Importance, for the Amalgamated
Council persists iD its;boycott and the build.

penters, stone masons, cellar diggers, and
all the workmen who depend on building for
livelihood will be thrown out of employ
ment at but few days warning.

FAIRFAX COUNTY.

correspondence of the Alexandria GAZETTE.
LINCoLNIA, June AN item appeared in
your Washington correspondence Of the
25th ult, which verify indicates cranky in
formation, and Malone may well smile, as
Satan smiles, at anything said or done aid
ing his cause. The item alluded to states
that gentleman from Fairfax county voiced
in the medley of "informacy" thus: "He
says that the large democratic club of Lin
colnia cut down their flag polo and sent
their flag back to the chairman Of the dem
ocralic county committee with the remark,
that if the presents administration be dem
ocratic, they are not democrats" Facts are
stronger than MunchaUsenism, which seems
to "confusticate' the medium Of such in
formation.
First. "The large democratic club of Lin
COMA" did not cut down their flag pole. it
was cut down because its condition was
deemed dangerous to the public passing,
and not on account Of decentralization of the
club with the administration because it does
not suit the palavcr of Mahone's ticklers.
Second. We are not aware that their
flag has been sent back to the chairman of

ic club of Lincolnia," gotten up by it ex-
cusively, and il sent hack, as alleged, has
been done 50 unbeknown to nine and three
quarter tenths of the members Of said large
club"
Third In regard to with the remark that if
the present administration be democratic they
arc not democrats, that is n wholesale vomit of
assumption from the mouth Of the person who
uttered it.. 1t is not tho voice of the large
democratic club of Lincona, because it is serene
in its opinion of the administration. There may
be two or three restless spirits haunted with po-
litcal anarchist tendency, venting how they
would jerk matters if they had tho power So
far as returns are in, nothing is visible yet that
the said Large" club are taking stock i'll such
choppy zephyrs. Political dorlDancy generally
prevails, and the agricultural community arc too
busy TO indulge in growing about the admins
tration. They move on placidly unconc"rned as
to the muttcrings Of the few and between
malcontents. Life is too short to growl health
fully, and Malone accepts all who aid or como I'M

unhappy should yield him success, but their tears

ALEX CAMBRIA
THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 8.

UNDER THE election law of Virginia the
Judges OF election must be OF different par
ties. The republicans and the Mahoneltes'
with few honorable exceptions among the
former, are one party but when the Ma
honeites had the election machinery in their
hands they always considered them as two,
and in the selection of the threejudges at each
precinct appointed one as republican, one
as readuster, and one as democrat, the
two former invariably acting together, and
therefore everything the one democrat. Now
that the democrats have possession of the
State, the Mahoneites complain that under
the law referred to the republican judges
selected by the democrats are negroes, who
are either too ignorant TO detect fraud, or
who can be bribed into connivance Herewith.
AS almost the entire voting strength OF the
Nahone.republican party is composed OF
negroes, why that class of voters should not
be represented in the selection OF electlon
Judges is what only the Mahoneites, the men
who achieved all they have only by negro
support, can tell.

The OPPOSITION the republican Senators
make to the confirmation of the Presidents
nominations, and the existence of that "sen-
atorial courtesy" which compels democratic
Senators to join in that opposition in the
case of nominees who may have spoken
otherwise than in praise of any member
OF the Senate, united, have set a great many
people to thinking about the advisatility Of
removing the confirming power from hesen'
ate, and some, to questioning even the adj
vantages of the continuance of that body
AS the President is held responsible for the
manner in which the affairs of the Govern
meut are administered, no reasonable and
disinterested man can see the justice of de-
,nying him the right to appoint the men te
conduct those affairs.

The WASHINGTON Post don't agree with
those who think it was in extremely bad
taste for Miss Folsom to come to the White
House to be married, and says, "the White
House is not the Presidents house,
but an official establishment, owned
and supported by the Government, in
which the President sometimes finds it
agreeable to live" Then the stronger the
reason why the marriage should have taken
place at the private residence of some of the
young lady's relatives.

AFTER A prolonged strike, and loss
which it will be impossible for them ever to
make good, the carpenters OF Baltimore have
gone to work on their employers terms,
among which is the right of the latter to
employ non union men. How much better
would the strikers referred to feel if they
had been at work all last month, and how
much more would they have laid up for the
unavoidable idleness of next winter. Ma
chinery now does the work that carpenters
used to do in the winter. Their labor, like
that of the bricklayers', is now chiefly sum-
mer work and yet those alluded to, and
Others, have thrown away month OF it, for
no other reason than the fact that they were
ordered to do so by men who live on the as
sessments they pay. If their wives and
children got the money they pay the officers
of their unions, their homes would be more
comfortable, and they would lead happier
lives.

The BILL which provides for the pay
ment of the employees of the US. House OF
Representatives, specifies certain OF those
employees and the salaries they shall re-
ceive. This, of course, continues the men
so specified in Office, as the doorkeeper can
not usurp the law and remove them, as he
can those whose names are not specified.
But every one of the men 80 specified in the
bill is republican, whose retention is there
by secured. And yet the majority of the
men who framed the bill and the majority
of those who will pass it are democrats. But
possibly the democratic members of Congress
may think with the administration, that with
few exceptions the republicans arc entitled
to all the offices of the Government.
