FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL so.

SECRETARY LAMAR, when United STATES
Senator, said the people of the South nao
long since abandoned the idea of ever beng
correctly represented at the North. he
said only what was true then; and the rea-
sons that induced him to say so are JUST as
cood now. The South is never correctly
renrssented at the North, and therefore the
naonle of the North are in utter ignorance Oh
almost every thing that pertains TO tne'r
fellow citizens of the South. A patent IN
.auce of this Ignorance is afforded by inc
fact that throughout the entire North Mr..
I, (Ierson Davis is looked upon as the head
and front of the late Southern Conted-
erscy, the one man who should be held
solely responsible for the effort to create
now nation in America. There never was
a more egregious error, nor one more appa'
rent 10 every Southern man. 1t was the
wbo'e PEI p.e of the South, and not any one
man or set of mep, who iDs. ired, originated
and created the Southern Confederacy. Ii
would have been created if Mr.. Davis never
had been born, and he is no more RESPONSE
BILE for it than the youngest man who Voteo
for secession or who carried a musket in the
Confederate army.

A meeting was held in Richmond last

expressing opposition to the use of coupons
in payment Of taxes. One OF the resolutions
declares a purpose to refuse to patronize
any business house outside Of the State that

FAIRFAX Co UNITY, Apr. ooh. 1885,
TO the editor Of the dIcraadria Gazette:
1t is to be hoped the rumor TO which you
have referred that the President does not
read the newspapers, Isn't true. The Presi-
dent should read the newspapers they
generally reflect public sentiment-and learn
whether or not his party is pleased with the
manner in which he is executing the trust
which it placed in his hands.
! heard Il democrat say to-day, "If the
election between Cleveland and Blaine were
to recur tomorrow do not know how |
should vote" This democrat is not an
Office seeker, and therefore, not afraid TO
speak out He is sound man and good
citizen and wheel horse at lection times,
however
This kind Of talk is quite common, and
coming from those who do not want office,
it may be judged what the feeling is with
those who would like to hear something"
There is certainly good deal of grumbling
throughout The country on tho part Of demo-
Gratis and there is danger that, rs in the
pied piper of Hamlin, this grumbling may
grow to mighty rumbing. The President
should read the newspapers.

Sorry he Went There"

CHICAGO, April 3O.-The Times this morn
ing prints an interview with an American
employee of Rothschld's furniture factory,
who, with his fellow workers, is out on a
strike. The man says You have no idea
of how ashamed I am of our action in this
hasty strike. Why, if we had been left
alone by the union agitators we wouldn't
have struck at all. We are being used as q
cats paw for lot Of crazy Dutch socialists
over at Brunswick's billiard factory. We
were all right until fellow came into the
shop and told us we were slaves and ought
TO stop work and come to an assembly and
get protection. We went. II was more
like lunatic asylum than mutua. protec.
tive union. Finally, when our case was
some Dutchman that didn't belong
to our shop moved that we go out on strike.
There was yell, and in less than one min
ute we were ordered by the union to strike
I own up was just as hard and hot for the
union as the rest of them until that time,
but when | saw a lot of crazy Dutchmen
shut of over $500 day in wages without
giving the question two minutes considera.
ion it made me sick We're in for it now,

hing 10 my life. Lam going to do every

guration. Clark Bros & Co.'S Furniture
Factory, at Blno Island avenue and Robey

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April G0.-A general
strike Of cabinet makers for an advance Of
20 per cent in wages, and reduction Of the
has been ordered for to morrow by the AL
legheny county union, which embraces all
the cabinet makers, hurnishers and carvers,
some 900 in number, in the two cities. The
manufacturers are unanimous in their re-
fusal to grant the increase, claiming that it
is impossible to concede the terms desired,
and prefer to close their factories. A dull
trade and low prices are given as the
reason. The workers are determined 10
secure the advance, and large s;like is
promised. The carpenters of Allegheny
county will strike on Monday for nine hours
as days work, and ten per cant. advance

THE MONTGOMERY MEMORIAL.

The Capitol grounds at Montgomery, Ala,
presented an animated scene yesterday at
the laying Of the corner. stone of the Confed-
crate monument. The procession which
formed in front of the Exchange Hotel, was
preceded by cavalry and artillery escort,
and was further made up of knights Templar
Knights of Pythas, and other bodies. The
demonstrations along the route were as en-
thusiasticas they were on Thursday. The ex-
President was, as is usual whenever the
people caught sight of him, cheered enthu-
siastically. Ex-Governor Watts ex.Attor.
ney General of the confederacy introduced
Mr.. Davis. 1t was some moments before
he could proceed, as the cheers were again
and again repeated When there was SUI
icient quiet, Mr.. Davis said:
Associated here with so many memories
thrilling and tender, have felt that it were
dangerous for me &c attempt to speak to
you as my heart would prompt me. Not

My friends, partners in joy and in sor.

of Alabama who died for their country, who

Tense of the rights of their sires, won in the
war of the revolution, and the State sover-

was left US as an inheritance to their posteri-

INHIs speech OF Montgomery yesterday
Mr.. Davis said
Though the memory of our glorious past
must ever be dear to us, duty points to Inc
present and the future. Alabama having
resumed her place in the Union, be it yours
to fulfill all the obligations devolving upon
all good citizens seeking to restore the gem

happiness of your common country"
And yet an immense meeting was held at
Albany last night, as the call for it stated ::
ITO denounce the resurrection of Jet Da.
Wis from the oblivion to which loyal and
patriotic people had consigned him, and to
protest against the Qualification of disloyal
deeds and men, the revival of sentiments
repugnant TO those who fought for the
Union, abhorrent to the loyal north, and
unbecoming to the subjugated South. 1t is
too soon to forget the sutferings and sacri-
fees of a loyal people; it is too soon to for
get treason and traitors, however much we
may forgive them"
Every fair minded and patriotic man
who compares the sentiment expressed
by the two quotations will be disposed to
prefer the former.
