The Etght.IIOur System.


CHICAGO. April 30.-The great
packers at the Union stock-yards are
the latest representative employers to
be called upon to giant eight hours
day. They give employment to be-
tween 25, 900 and $1,000 men, and this
afternoon delegations will wait upon the
heads Of each with the reque that they
adopt the eight-hour system on Nay
LIST. The firms to be visited are
Armour q Co., Fowler Brothers, N. X.
Fairbsnk, Hately, Nelson Morris, Jones
& Stiles, and Silverhorn. Ii is only
within the past fe ~ days that the eight.
hour question was agitatcd at the stock
yards. The men, with few excep-
tons, belong to no labor unions, and
their desire to adopt the new labor day
was only formed within the past week.
Yesterday Mr. Sid Kent told hts
l,j00 employees that altar May LIST they
need only work eight hours a d,y, for
which they would be paid for nine
hours work. Tbs Jsion'caused
tie men employed in other houses to de-
mand that eight hours be hereafter con-
sidered days work. Several meet
ings were held, and the result was the
formation Of an organization from
which committees to-day will wait upon
all the packers.
at was like bombshell 10 our
ranks" said q prominent picker this
morning, land Kent did it all. The
men were satisfied; they are not union
men, and they would have worked on
right along, as usual, ten hours had no.
Kent been frightened and offered com.
promise before he was ever c.lled upon
to consider the matter. His action
amazed u.s." Notwithstanding this
fact, the other packers assert that the
action of Kent will probably be fol-
lowed by other packers.

CatchiDes, Of Mississippi, said The Issue
YES squsTsly before the House,
whether Il would call . halt and
abandon al efforts to improve the nsvi.
CATION Of the Mississippi; for II the
amendment were adopted II would
doubtless Be followed by one striking
out the appropriation. The snimus Of
The attack was the apprehension on the
part Of some gentlemen that part Of
the money would be expended in the
protection Of the levees, whereby the
southern people might derive some
benefit.
Mr. Hepburn, Of Iowa, admitted that
the plan Of the Commission had been
adopted after elaboration, bat 1t had
been adopted as an experiment, and the
experiment bed been tried and proved
to be failure. When the plan had
been adopted no one had dreamed Of
the expenditure Of money which would
berequired. On Plum-Point reach the
Commission had expended for revet-
ment alone sl9.99 per linear foot, and
for the channel improvement s24 per
linear foot. Plum-Point reach would
require more than $40, 100000, and the
Lake Proyidence reach would cost more
than $1,000, 900.
Mr.. Holman offered an amendment
providing that the money appropriated
for the lower Mississippi shall be ex-
pended in the continuance and compile
ton Of the work on Plum-Poin. and
Lake Providence reacheA. He thought
that Congress owed it to the country
that the plan Of the improvement sho aid
be thoroughly tested on those two
reaches before any more vast expendi-
lures of morey were authorized.
Mr.. Holman's amendment was re-
jected, but it was agreed that there
should be q yea and nay vote upon it.
In the House Mr.. Warmers amend
ment was also rejected. Various other
amendments were offered and rejected.
A number Of amendments were sgreed
to increasing the number OF places
where preliminary surveys may be
made, aud then Mr.. La Follett, Of Wis.,
consin, moved to strike out the entire
section having reference to the subject.
No quorum voting, the committee rose,
and the House, at Gas, adjourned.

it yours to ful6l all the obligations de-
volvipg upon all good citizens, seeking
to restore the General Government to

Of your common country. [Long ap-

ladies facing the ladies on the stand)-
for to whatever side you may
belong, it is your sex that has
been true always IN war and desc
lations-we hear of the valor and
virtues and enduring names Of Spartan
mothers, but tell me where, in ell the
history of nations, was ever such
spectacle seen as was witnessed 10 the
Valley Of the Shenandoah? How the
tide Of war ebbed and flowed Some
times the Confcderstes retreated and
sometimes they pursued. Those people
who claimed to be our brethren had
burned everything except fences.
Ex-Governor Watts, interrupting:
"And they would have burned them
had they not been stone."l
Mr.. Davis turned and smilingly con-
tinued And why do you suppose they
did not burn the fences? Because they
were stone. Loud applause.l And
yet there never was time when
Confederate body of troops marched
down that valley that the ladies did not
hang out little Confederate flags from
their windows and give bread to the
hungry soldiers. Tremendous ap-
plause.I | have promised that would
not speak extemporaneously, and will
not do it. God bless you, one and all.
| love you all from the bottom Of my

your kindness. Tremendous, long.con-
tinued applause
Governor Watts then turned over the
rest Of the proceedings to the Grand
Lodge Of Masons, who were to lay the
cornerstone according to Masonic rules.
The beautiful ritual was literally carried
out by Grand-Master j. G. Harris, as
sisted by other grand officers and Ma
sons.
A great many things we're deposited
in the vault. The first was put in by
Miss Davis, and was a Confederate bat

Mr.. Davis placed in it some of the ar
ticles, as did various other prominent
gentlemen and ladies. The stone was
lowered into its place and the pro-
ceedings declared at an end.
The crowd began to dispense, and after
a.reception in the Executive chamber by
Mr.. Davis, limited to the veterans who
were in the line, the procession returned
2 TO the Exchange, whence it started, aud
the ceremonies we're over. The crowd
was not SO large as yesterday, still 1t ran

terings of the storm were readily I'M
derstood By the people Of Alabama.
Gray-haired sires and beardless boys,
all upprepared as they were, went forth
to meet the storm ere it burst
upon their homes and their affairs. 1t
required no Demosthenes to arouse them
to the duty of resisting the invaders no
Patrick Henry to prepare them for the
alternative of liberty or death. 1t was
the people, not the leaders, who resolved
and acted. One sentiment Inspired all
classes. Yet | believe there we're very
few who did not regret the necessity
which left them no alternative between
fighting for their State or against it.
Mothers, wives, and daughters, choking
back their sobs, cheered them on the
path Of honor and duty. With fearless
tread these patriots, unframed to war,
advanced on many a battlefield to
look death in the face. Though Ala
bama, like Niobe, must mourn her
children in death, yet is her woe tenn
peIed by the glorious halo which sur
rounds their memory. For more than
q century after his death, it is said that
Philip Devalogne's name was borne on
the roll of the grenadisrs to whom he
belonged, and when his name was called
it was answered from the ranks:
Mort sur lie Champ d'honneur."
Long, very long, would be the list
which would contain the names Of Ala
bama's sons, whose valor and fidelity
would justify the same response. To
name . few would DO unjust to many.
They arc ell, therefore. left where they
securely repose-in the hearts of .
grateful people. This monument will
rest upon the land for which they died,
