Generals Gordon and Barlow.

The ex Confederate General Cor
don relates All interesting story about
two interviews he had with General
Barlow. At Sharpsbarg Barlow
was apparently mortally wounded,
and fell into Gordon's hands. Cor.
don took a liking to him, and asked
If lie could do something for Barlow.
Il think not. general" said the
young man; Il shall be buried here,
no donht. | do not expect to live.
But you Gun do one thing for the;
here is package of letters from thy
wife. which wish you to destroy

young man also, took the letters
and was about to destroy them, when
Barlow, with a bubble at his throat.
murmdred: Would you take the
trouble to read ME one of them first?
ANY one will do" Gordon opened
one of the letters and read it to the
dying n1an-his last friendl, words,
perhaps, from home. Then the let.
ters were destroyed. But the inci.
dent touched Gordon so TINT he
made a special exertlon to have
Barlow sent through tie lines or to
have his wife admitted to him. This
being done, the two armies fell apart
and these two men saw each other
no more. Gordon considered Bar
low to be dead. Barlow had also
seen that General Gordon had
been Killed somewhere They met

THE lARGR TROUBLES.

The wires are each day burdeneC
with accounts of the troubles aris
ing from unadjasted difficulties be
tween capital and labor. Last
week twelve thousand policemen
were required in New York to oper
a thoroughfare for one street cal
line. The knights Of Labor left
the cars. refusing to work, and as a
result, for two days the cars did not
run at all
The R. Il. Commissioners at AL
bany served a notice on these lines
that if they failed to run their cars
they would necessarily forfeit their
charter, as the duty of paying such
wages to employers as to keep them
at work, rested solely with the
Company. The strike spread ali
over the horse car roads, but on
Saturday they were in operation
again with the difference adjusted.
The Company was Obliged to ac-
ceed 10 the demands Of the strik ers
and pay 50 day.
A clause in the agreement also
provides that in future ali differ
ences between the roads and the
employees should be left to the lead
ing officers of the Knights Of Labor
in New York.
A boycott has now been extended
all along Jay Gould's lines, and no
freight billed over his lines will be
carried. a couple Of weeks ago
Gould surrendered to the strikers
but failed to keep his promises,
and now the fight has been renewed.
In San Francisco the Trade Con-
federation has come to the front,
demanding the removal of "scab"
printers FROM the Call and Bulletin
Offices. These mentioned are but a
few instances. Each hour brings
new records of strikes, and it is
plain to see that the working classes
have girded up their loins and are
ready to grapple with capital for
the mastery.
1t is an issue which involves the
whole country and goes down to
the very foundation of the Govern
ment. 1t is truly held that both
capital and labor has certain rights
and that these rights should be re-
spected by both sides Those who
hold that the present rate Of wages
in the East is enough to live on
should bear in mind that in this
boosted land Of liberty and plenty
it is too much to ask people to
work for simply enough, they |
should haye margin to lay aside |
and save.
1t is also idle to talk about wages |
being high enough when these who
pay the wages are worth millions,
and those who do the work are on
the verge Of starvation. So long as
the rich get richer and the poor get
poorer the wages are not properly
adjusted. Jay Gould has no right,
with many millions more than he
IAN ever spend, to ask ten thou
sand men to continue to assist
n piling up his wealth by working
or sixty-six cents day. So long
Is this state of affairs exists it is
useless for the organs of the capt.
alists to attempt to throw the
,laim of the strikes upon the
classes.

A piquant story is told Of Gen

success. General Hancock, watch

The County Treasury Muddle.

EDITOR HERALD-The withholding of the records and files of the Treasurer's office by Dionicio Baea from St. George Creaghe, the duly appointed and quail fled Treasurer, prevents My. Creaghe from redeeming warrants which are now outstanding, and which he has tine funds to redeem: As warrants are re- deemed in accordance with their num- Der and issue, it is necessary to have ac- cess to the Treasurer's records to know which warrants are the next to be paid or called in. As Mir. Creaghe has not access to the Treasurer's records or safe, he is, and will be, unable to pay any out standing warrants, which go on draw ing interest at the rate of ten per cent, further increasing the burden and debt upon the taxpayers.
 The withholding of the Treasurer's S records and safe by Dionicio Baca is in open defiance of the law, and as will full, malicious, brazen defiance of law, it excels any thing of the kind known to us.
 If law and justice cannot defend and protect her subjects better than this, we would be far better without it. But as We have to maintain courts, and other essentials at great cost, we certainly should have, and do eXpect. that such men as Dionicio Baca, who openly and maliciously defy all law, should be brought to grief.
 We further believe and think all tax payers of thecounty should demand that the hondsmen of Dion;cio Baca should be held responsible, and made to pay back into the County Treasury all the interest which has accumulated upon warrants which should, and would have been paid-thus avoiding said interest," had he turned over his records as was demanded hy law.
