peaceable methods. no one can gainsay

peaceable methods, no one can gainsay
that right so to organize themselves.
If it were possible thus to mass all
labor under the control of such syndi-
cate, such as Messrs. Powderly, Schill-
ing and Irons, so that there should be
neither hand nor muscle nor skill free
from their authority /; then it might be
that by a word or wave of the hand,
every wheel of every mandatory should
be arrested, the fire of every foundry
put out, every locomotive and train
deserted, and all business abandoned,
till corporations, partnerships and indi-
viduals should surrender the control of
the property to this all-powerfullorgan-
ization.
The conception is grand, but we
think impossible of realization. 1t
would be a power such as no autocrat
ever possessed something like the
interdict by which his Holiness in the
Dark Ages subdued .superstitious ma
tons and people, and boycotted King
John out of his crown; but then the
power was imaginary here 1t would
be real-for it is clear that the syndi-
cate that can first monopolize and then
deprive the world of the benefits of
labor at its will. must become the
virtual owner of all property. We adj
NIT such result might be reached if
the Knights are allowed to drive away
by menace and violent and frequent
bloodshed all the ''scabsn from the pre-
cincts of labor. This outrage has been
so common that the Knights in sincere
ity think themselves entitled to the SYM
pathY of the community in the under
taking. Says Spies, ''When | finished
speaking | was told that some two hun
dred men had gone to stone the Me-
Cormick scabs, and that the police had
fired on them" He seems to have re-
garded this sally of the two hundred
men as really laudable and lawful.
We hold it to be the pressing duty of
all good citizens of whatever party to
unite in the defense of the workman
who dares to be his own master and
make his own contracts with his en-
ployer. He has been pursued by the
Knights with unsparing vengeance, as
saulted, stabbed and wounded while at
work earning his bread, by the ennis
saries of a jealous and cruel despotism,
and from this despotism he has a right
to look at least to the Republican party
for deliverance.
Surely, every laboring man must
understand that he cannot procure con-
slant work and good wages unless the
buildings and machinery where he is
employed are protected from the as
saults of mobs of furious and unreason-
ing men who would smash and level
the vely plant that furnished them with
subsistence; for if the state guarantees
no such protection, no capital will be
invested in such business
And if it is necessary to quit manu-
factory or stop railroad train in order
to coerce corporations and capitalists to
do justice, certainly women and chill
dren ought not to be allowed to minole
with the party charged with this duty.
1t is dangerous one where hot pas
sions are apt to explode gun-powder,
and there is no telling who will escape
or suffer.

at school and college. IT'S very pleasant
to see the faces Of those who have been alb

lively new, lending attraction TO gatherings
where hitherto the same faces have always
been seen. The constant arrival Of new

Exaggeration.

II is cot in human nature not to deal
in exsggeration under such circum-
stances as surround the unfortunate
people of Charleston. We made this
remark last week. We repeat it now.
We repeat it because Charleston is now
being written up by men who have gone
to that city since the earthquake OF the
3lst August, and who seem to be en-
deavoripg to excite q panic all over
the land. They magnify ten-fold the
dangers through which they are pass
ing now that all danger would seem to
be over. These exaggerated reports
can do nobody any good, but do cause
much suffering. We get the Charleston
News and Courier every day, and can
not but be struck with the difference
between the facts as reported in that
paper, published right on the spot and
and surrounded by quaking men as well
as by quaking earth, and the reports
ss they appess in some papers far from
the scene. Pray, good friends, let us
not ruin forever the reputation Of
Charleston.

out against her as self-executing con-
tract whenever her creditor might deem
It expedie6t SO to use it, and coupon
providing on its face that it should be

difference whatever. The moment the
State defaulted in paying her interest
the coupon held as an escrow would
be substituted for the non-tax-re-
ceivable coupon, and the Treasury

them. The creditors would surrender
absolutely nothing. The coupons
would continue to constitute, just as
they do now, a self.executing contract.

Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, w.
VA, September Con Saturday eve-
ming four young people attempted q
ride in the dog-cart of Miss Cameron,
Of Petersburg, which vehicle was orr.
ginally intended to carry but two per-
sons. The party consisted Of Miss
Mary Anderson, aged about sixteen aud
daughter Of Colonel Archer Anderson,
of Richmond Miss Condit Smith, and
young Messrs. Stuart, of Saltville, Va,
and Cameron, Of Petersburg. The
party were glesfully enjoying the lark,
aud had reached the hill at Dickson's,
about two and half miles below the
Springs. Here Miss Kate, the spirited
mare they drove, unused to such an
amount of human freight, attempted to
relieve herself by precipitate flight
down the declivity. The vehicle was
upset and the party thrown violently to
the ground. Miss Mary Anderson's
arm was broken, the bone being badly
shattered. She also sustained painful
cuts and bruises about the face. She
was taken at once to the Dickson house.
where she will have to remain for some
time before she can be removed. Miss
Smith was slightly hurt, and young
Cameron received painful injuries on
the leg and hip, while young Stuart es.
capped unburt. The last three were
brought to the Springs in a carriage.
Miss Anderson is doing well.
