Typograpbical Union Discusses Fore
man Edmund's Case.
A special meeting Of Columbia Typo
graphical Union No. 101 was held yesterday
Afternoon at the Temple, on q street, to con-
slider and take action on the charges pre-
ferred against Mr.. Edmunds, foreman of
The Third Division, at the Government
Printing Office.
The charges, it is understood, are the
result of a new system of averaging
the strings OF the printers In his divis-
ion and also for not allowing time for
the correction OF some proofs. When these
charges were first made, 1t is stated that
the matter was reported to the chairman
of the chapel of that division, who in
formed Mr.. Edmunds that the changes
would not be tolerated. Mr.. Edmunds,
however, persisted, aud the matter was
then referred TO the union at its last reg
ular meeting.
The union indorsed the action of the
chapel and imposed fine of S25 on Mr..
Edmuuds. This fine, it is stated, he
positively refused to pay.
The meeting yesterday was for the pur-
pose of taking steps necessary 10 enforce
the action taken at the previous meeting.
With this purpose in view, q brief sum-
mary of the case will be forwarded 10
| Public Printer Benedict, with the request
| that he enforce the law of the union by
seeing that the fine imposed be paid.
| In case MIR. Benedict refuses to give his
| assistance in the matter, the union will
proceed in the customary way as pre-
| scribed in such cases.

Of North Carolina.
Indiana ana Michigan as well as Mime

q strong probability that they have gone

over 100000 plurality. Nebraska and North
and South Dakota are close and still in
doubt.
Wyoming seems to have gone for Nc
kinney. The returns from the Pacific coast
states are too maager to justify any
claim respecting them. The states Of
Virginia, South Carolina Florida, Gaor-
