Compromised on Nine Hours.

PIrTsBURG, April 26.-The agitation for
a reduction OF hours, which it had been
feared would have prejudicial effect upon
the building trades this season, is being
ended peaceably by amicable arrangements
between employers and workmen.
The journeymen plumbers, who had de-
manded that eight hours he days work at
the old wages, have withdrawn their de-
mand and submitted substitute PROPOSE
ton that nine hours shall be considered a
days work, with eight hours on Saturday.
These terms will probably be accepted by

Exploding n Quart of Dynamite Under the

Exploding y Quart of Dynamite Under the
House Wherein His Enemy Is sleeping.
One of the most atrocious and cold-blooded
murders ever committed in Moundsville
w. Va, occurred about . o'clock sunday
morning. Henry Campbell until two months
ago was the manager OF the Union coal
works, an extensive mining company dong
business on the Ohio side of the river but
was discharged because of bad habits and his
situation given to Robert Ramage. Since
then Campbell has made many threats
against Rsmage, who has made practice OF
sleeping in the grocery of his brother, J. K.
Ramage, near the coal works, where the
mine company had eleven kegs OF powder
stored.
About midnight, Saturday night, Robert
Rsmage babe some friends good night near
the entrance to the store, and entering the
building, retired. Campbell was lurking
near, with what must have been, at least, a
quart can of dynamite and shortly after =
O'Clock he crept beneath the foundations
of the store, rugged up a contrivance TO e1-
plode the dynamite, set 1t going and made
his escape.
The dynamite exploded with terrible re-
port, partly destroying the building, and an
instant later the eleven kegs of powder blew
up with a detonation heard mile away.
Strange to say, Ramage was not killed, and
when the miners from their homes nearby
ran to the burning building he had crawled
to a window with his clothing in flames and
the blistered and burned skin hanging in
shreds from his halEroasted limbs and wes
crying for help He was rescued, but died in
a short time. Campbell has been arrested
and taken to Bellaire amid intense excite.
ment He processes little concern at the re.
suit of his fiendish plot

JUDGE SToDpARp, of New Haven, in
charging the jury in the trial of members of
the Typographical Union, on trial TOR con-
spiracy to injure the business OF the Courier
Publishing company, laid down some impor-
tant dogmas on the law Of conspiracy. He
said an Indictment for conspiracy may be
sustained whenever there is confederation
for an unlawful purpose, or to effect lawful
purpose by unlawful means 1t is plain that
a corporation has a lawful right TO employ
whom IL pleasss 1t is equally and not to be
denied that every person has a right to seek
employment of q corporation, and conspi-
racy to prevent by unlawful means the eSer-
On the other hand, it is equally plain that
the accused had the right to combine, con-
federate and conspire together, and with and
by all other lawful means to raise and fix
the wages Of themselves and their associates.
The evil and immoral intent of infiicting g
wanton and malicious injury upon another
charscterizes aconspiracy. Itis nota question
whether the purposes of these combination
or the means to effect their objects are wis,
or In our opinion well adapted to accom- plisl
their purposes. 1t Is a question whether
law has been violated. The conduct OF mel
in combination may and often does occasion
great loss and damage, both material ant
moral to themselves and to the community
Yet that conduct may not be unlawful, anl
the perpetrators cannot be criminalIy pun
ished.

LANCAsrER. JULY 10. 1856.
A Coed Appointment.

No Democrat of sound judgment will
quarrel with the president for the appoint
ment Of s. Davis Page to be assistant treas
urer Of the United States at Philadelphia,
70 succeed George Eyster, an appointee of
General Grant, whose term had expired and
who had been in office some sixteen years.
Il is true that Mr.. Eyster was not an ac-
tive politician but to make place for him
Democrat of high character was removed;
be was appointed as Republican and i'm
mediately made clean sweep of all
the Democrats he found in office; he
never appointed any Democrats until after
: Democratic federal administration came
In ]; and, altogether, his office was in its
sphere just as much of political one as
those of collectors of internal revenue,
treasurer of the United States or other
agents of the fiscal policy of the United
States. We fail to see why this Office should
have been exempted rather than any other
head of department from the rule, which
has been in operation under this govern
ment since John Adams day, that the
principal civil service appointees of an ad-
ministration should be in political sympa-
thy withit.
1t js not true in any sense, as is assumed
In some of the discussions of this matter,
that Mr.. Eyster was removed" His
term had expired. He had had an unusu-
ally long career as public official, which in
our Judgment gives no man a lien on office.
There was vacancy. The only question
before the president was whether Eyster
was pre-eminently superior to any other
man for the place. Even the two hundred
prominent citizens-mostly Republicans
who asked for his retention would not con
tend for this; and Gov. Pattison, who Sc
lected Mr.. Page az His hhiis own successor in the
high Office ct City controller--and who i!
now cited as one of the Democrats askins
for oysters eappointment-would not, W,
feel sure, insist that Mr. Eyster had an,
recommendation that Mr.. Page did no
possess.
In fact we think, apart from bis politics
Mr.. Page is very much filter for the ap
pointment than Mr.. Eyster. He is ;
younger, more active and abler man. Hi
character is quite as high i; his experienc,
broader, and his general intelligence fa
more conspicuous. He is Democrat, it il
true-one of the kind who holds the
window book in the rain''--but he has
again and again had votes of confidence
from his Republican fellow-citizens he
has discharged public office as public
trust, and in his new position he will dc
justice to the public as he will do credit tt
his party.

THE critics OF Concord, Mass, are dissect
ing Dante's, "lnferno" with theological in
struments- One recently asserted that, al,
though Dante Furnishes each sinner only for
one sin, putting him only in one circle, men
may really be punished in several circles a,
once and indeed might be in heaven, purgato
ryand hell att the same time. On the other hand
1t was maintained that according to Dante's
notion, one sin persisted In renders tn,
whole soul impure, dims the divine light snt
therefore condemns the soul entirely to he'll
The heaven Of the soul is peace and harmon,
and one sin is entirely sufficient to destro,
the harmony and to make hell for it. Ate
these fellows get through with their colo
blooded analyses, there will be little left o
Dantes soul-stirring thoughts
