DEMOCRATS DISAPPOINTED.
Although the leaders of the Democratic
party in the state decline 10 say 80 openly,
Ii is very evident fiom their disappointed
looks that the entire IA lure Of the efforts Of
the state Committee to bring about any sort
Of united action among the different war
ring Democrats factions in New York city
has been an unexpected aud disagreeablc
surprise to them.
PITIABLE STORY on GERMAN.
Jacob Mertsch, a German. who has been
in this country a year and i've months, re-
sides at 10 Bartlett street, Brooklyn, with
his wife and two children. lie alleges
that with forty mine others he answered an
advertisement for hands to work on rail-
road In West Virginia in July last, and
they were promised 3l.S per day. They
were told il would take but two days TO
reach the place. Instead, IL took seven
days, and they only received two meals In
that time. Some Of the men grew sus-
piclous and dropped away from the party
at Catlettsburg. When those who remained
finally reached location, n railroad was
found in process of construction, but not
house or hut could be found for their ac-
comnodation. Then he agent demanded
s.. % apiece from the men for meals ON the
route, although they had received but two.
There, he alleges, they were set 10 work
under "a guard Of reyolyers, dec0mp0sed
food was given them, and II they complain
ed they were cruelty beaten, and blows and
curses were constant. They received no
wages, and when they endeay0rcd 10 es-
cape they were recaptured and brutally ILL
l. sed. Mertsch was taken with fever, but
despite this, with six Austrians he es-
capped, reached Richmond after a tatiguing
time, and finally got home through the
kindness OF friends found on the route.
At the Office of Mayer X Coppock, Mr.
Mr. Mayer declared most of Mertsch's story
false, and said that bis firm had sent the
fifty men down 10 work on the Louisville,
Norfolk and Western railroad, that II being
built in Logan county by ilfm of con-
tractors named Mason, Gooch x Hoge.
MAYER says the mems passage was paid,
aud their iOod Il, en- them for the trip. From
Catlettsburg they were taken inland 10 tie
place where the road was being built.
Mayer denies that the men were ili-treated,
but coDfesses that il they were he would not
necessarily know 1t.
SEVERE GALE.
The gale OF wind in the upper bay and
around the Battery to-day was the worst
that has been experienced for years at this
season OF the year. The tbTee-masted
schooner w. II. Allison, from Virginia
ports. was blown ashore at the Hook last
night. She was pulled OF by tug, and, as
far as can be ascertained, was not dam
| aged 10 any extent.
