It was said that General McClellan when he extricated himself from tho Chic kahominy by the aid of armed vessels declared that every man ought to own a gunboat, and every successful Californlan seems to indulge in a private palace car; and yet It is doubtful whether the accumulation ot such vast fortunes has been a public blessing. These peaks of aristocracy are too high above the level of democracy to suit the taste of sincere republicans, and our Senate is too rapidly becoming a House of Lords. Richelieu.

Reed Speaks to Xlieiu on Sunday Closiuff Union Rates Adopted. A regular meeting of the Boss Barbers Association was held yesterday afternoon at 200 Court street, nearly 800 employers being in attendance. President Charles Schlafor was In the chair, and Secretary W. H. Howard recorded.

After the meeting had been called to order the chairman introduced tho Kev. George E. Heed, who had been invited to address the meeting on the subject of Sunday closing. After a few introductory romarks the speaker said thath) made no appeal for Sunday closing on religious grounds, but simply as a necessary physical duty which tho barbers owed to themselves and their families, from whom under the present system they were separated except at meal and bed time. He said it was unfair to demand that any man or sot of mon should work sovonteen and elgh toon hours a day and half that time on Sunday, too.

Sunday is a day of rest, he declarod, on which every man was ontitled under both the human and divine law to cease from labor in ordor to recuperate his energies which have been taxed during six days. He said that there wero some of the Brooklyn barbers who had succeeded in business who had never opened their shops on Sunday, and if a few could succeed all could. Tho boneflta which result 10 tho barbers phylcally and socially, ho said, would more than rocompenso thorn for the small monetary loss, if thoro was any, which he doubted, as if tho half holiday movoment was a success, which it was likoiy to bo, tho customers could get shaved on Saturday afternoon aud evening just as well as thoy could on Sunday morning. Ho said that the barbers would bo supported by the public in tho change, Tho Kev. Mr.

Heed's romarks wore loudly ap plauded, and the barbers gave him a vote of thanks. Vice president Robinson also spoke upon tho subjoct, and said that the fault of Sunday work was due lo tho action of tho barbers themselves, as thoy had petitioned tho Legislature to change the code which made Sunday work a misdemeanor. Ho doclared that a majority of tho barbers favored Sunday closing if thoy wore assured of the support of tho public Tho regular business was then taken up, and a committee of three was appointed to ascertain whether or not the Italian boss barbers iutoudod Joining tho union. The following communication was read from the Journeymen barbers: At proseiit we havo to work from 7 A. M.

to 0 P. M. during tho weok, and on Saturday from 7 A. M. to 11 i M.

aud 12 clock midnight, making from fourteen to eighteen hours per day, and on Sunday wo work seven and eight hours. Therefore we pro po.io to bolter our condition and the trado in con oral as follows: The working hours to bo from 7 A. M. to 8 P. M.

on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, and on Saturdays from 7 A. M. to 10 P. with one uour for dinner and ono half hour for supper, except Xu Saturday; and on Sundays from 7 A. to 12 o'clock arjor That no ono shall shave fcr less than 10 cents, without extras, aud cut hair for "loss than 20 cents, wiuioui extras.

To do away with barbers' agents, and to establish a free bureau, to be supported by the Journeymen and booses. To do away with flvo cent slaughter houses and bucket shops. Mr. spoko at length in support of the communication ana moved the ao.option ol the rec ommendation, declaring that tho mon had made all the possible to the bosses, aud that they worn determined to insist up.ui what had been em bodied in tile communication. The rcportof tho Committee on Bylaws and Hules was then read an follows: That wo closo four nighla in the woek, Monday, Tucjdav, Thursday and Friday a'.

Mr. Kobinsou renowod his motion to adopt tho recommendation of tho Journeymen barbers and tho situation bocamo livoly; some objecting and others supporting tho motion.

A motion to adopt tho report of the bosses' committee complicated matters, as some said their trado would be ruined by adopting tho hours of closing. Tho battle waged for over an hour, when tho report ot tho bos'jos' committee was adoptod, much to tiie disgust of somo aud the satisfaction of many, who gave expression to their feeling in loud applause. Eighteen new applications wore received for membership. SIXTH WARD DE310CK.VTS. 'i'hv Appointment olf Dir.

Organizing for tbe Purpose of Securing Aid in Monoy and Food.

A small number of men met last night in Columbia House, Main ond York streets, to organ ize a committee of assistance for the striking sugar house workers. Mr. Emll Bauman was chosen tem porary ohairman until the election of officers. In calling the meeting to order he stated that a com mlttoe consisting of five would be organized to raise subscriptions in the Fourth Ward. Second District This committee would be under the direction of the General Relief Committee, which meets at 151 Mes eroie street Subscriptions, he said, would be banded over to the treasurer, who in turn would distribute them among the strikers, without any preference whatever.

The following officers wero then elected August Weingarten, president; Patrick Moloney, vice president; Anthony Jbnuszajtis, treasurer, and Ferdinand Kinder, secretary. Tho following appeal is printed on the subscription blanks: It ought to be tho duty of every citizen of Brooklyn to extend his full sympathy toward the striking ugar house workers, but mere sympathy is not sufficient for these late slaves to secure their rights. Proctlcal help is most necessary. We, therefore, bog leave to ask for donations, in anv form, which will enable these people to hold out successfully In their combat against overbearing capital. Mr.

Weingarten made a few remarks, in which he called upon those present to lend their aid actively toward alleviating tho condition of the strikers. Tho time had come when such a movement as they woro now entering upon was imperatively a necessary, ana tnts lact snouia be realized by all who had the welfare of the sugar strlkors at heart He for one would lend his efforts to tho carrying out of tho purpose for which thoy had come together. From present Indications tho lockout promised to be of long duration, as no signs had yot boen manifested by tho roflnors of acceding to the Just demands of their employes. Therefore, thoy should combine to omellorate, as for as lay In their powor, the wants of the strikers, which could best bo accomplished by oach district forming sub relief committees. Ho truutod that tho committee would exert every effort to Induce oltlzeuB generally to put their names on the subscription blanks.

Mr. Emil Bauman spoke next He said: This mooting has been called to night for the ben fit of the striking sugar house mon. You know as well as I how wo have been treated during the lost five years by our employers. Wo must support thoso who have not thoir daily bread. We must do what wo can to thatend.

When a committee waited upon Mr. Havomeyer and he told them that tho union would not be recognized by him, that showed how firmly he intends to remain in this strike. It is a shame that these rich men will only pay us Irom $1.35 to $1.45 a day. llow can we support ourselves aud families on such starvatiop wages? But Havemeyer went to Castlo Garden to try nnd get groen hands to OU our places. He did not Bucceod and of course it could not be expectod that he should.

Now, tho only way we can do is to stand side by side and fight our battle to tho bitter, bitter end. Let us visit tho citizens of Brooklyn and get from them whatever we can in tho shape of money aud provisions. Whatever you aro offered tako with grateful hearts. Be mindful in all you do of your fellow sufferers, who have until recently been liko slaves. A commlttoe consisting of the following persons Was thon formed: Ferdinand Kinder.

Bam Hall. Tho Brooklyn team yesterday wero taken to Washington by President Byrne. They witnessed the contest botweon the Philadelphia and Washington clubo, enjoyed a good time at the hotel and returned to Baltimore last night, whore to day they ploy thoir Bovonth game with the Baltimore team.

Thoy return homo to night, and to morrow they ploy a scheduled championship match with the Athletics of Philadelphia at Kidgewood, where thoy will face Bobby Mathows' pitching. The New York team yestordoy had a regular pic nic with Boston's disabled team, and through Buf flngton's poor pitching in the first inning of tho gome the home team won an easy victory in that Inning alone, nine men going to the bat In the first Inning, and six of them mado base hits without difficulty, Connor leading oft with a threo bagger, whilo Dorgan and Keefo made two base hits. Afterward Bufflngton got down to his work, and the "giants" only added four more runs to their score in tho last seven innings. Burdock was so lame that ho was useless as a pitcher at second base, and balls had to be recorded as base hits which would have boon flolded had ho boon in good form. It was no victory to crow ovor, for it was won through bad pitching iu tho first Inning, whon flvo runs wero scored from bolls sent iu in such a manner than any nine would havo hit thoin for baso hits.

The fact that in flvo out of the last seven Innings the giants drew blanks showed that tho pitching lmprovod after tho first Inning. On the othor hand tho visitors could do nothing with Keep's pitching, only a single run being earned from it and that was In the ninth Inning when tho visitors mode a rally as usual. The falling off in the at tendance was unaccountable, except on the basiB of a very large distribution of Invitations to boom the opening day, not over 2,400 people being present, even after the close contest of the previous day. To day being Saturday there will no doubt be a larger attendance, but thero will bo no such crowd present again as that of Thursday until the Chicago team comes hero. Next woek tho New Yorkers go to Philadelphia and then will come a tost of New York's unproved team.

The Metropolitans took a day off yesterday, while the Athletlos played their postponed gamo with tho Baltlmoros at Philadelphia, the home team winning by 7 to 4. Kennedy and Henderson wore the pitchers. There was a surprise parly at Kansas City yesterday, whon the Chicago nine hod difficulty In winning by 6 to 5 in a thirteen Innings game, and chat, too, with their best battory In position. It was the old story again, the homo team occupying the post lion of having everything to win and nothing to loeo in the game, whilo It was tho vory reverse on tho other side. The home nine led by 5 to 2 up to tho eighth Inning, ond then tho visltora made a rally at the bat and led tho gamo 5 to 5.

It was not until tho thirteenth inning, however, that they wore able to get in the winning run. Woldmon pitched for the Kansas City team, and with telling effect At Cincinnati yostorday tho crack toom of Louisvillo defeated the Cincinnati nine, though the latter had their notorious pltchor Mullane In the box, the visitors punlBhlug his pitching for throo oarnod runs, scoring 7 runs to 1, the home toam boing unable to bat Ramsey's pitching. At Washington yeBterday tho Philadelphia team, with ono of thoir two crack pitchers In the box, defeated tho Washingtons with ease by 12 to 8, though the latter had Barr as their pitcher. Tho base running of the visitors was a featuro of tho game. At St Louis yesterday tho homo toam defeated tho visiting Detroit team by 8 to the pitchers bolng Boyle and Twltchell.

Tho Dotrolts miss Weidmau, who troublod the Chleagos yesterday. The International League's Buffalo toam gave the Newarks a close shake up yesterday at Newark, the Nowarks winning by i to 3 after a ton innings con tost.

Secretary Ebbetts will bo In a fever of excltoment to day. The Bodfords won at Ridgewood on Thursday by 12 to 11, and thoy play again to day there.

I it 392 Replies to Questions Concern ing His Accuracy As the Historian of the Boaaaza Kings," Protests Once More Against Barning Ineense Before Qoeen Victoria and Dwells Upon the Sudden Rise of Some Irishmen to Eminent Wealth. On my return from Washington I find that my letter on tho "Bonanza Kings" has been subject ed to somo criticism, particularly by Mr. J.

H. War wick, of Madison street, whose corrections I propose now to correct. In an Interesting letter published in your paper of April 14 he corrects my interpretation of tho word "bonanza." I had stated that the word was of Spanish origin aud meant "a prosper ous sea voyage." Mr. Warwick says It means "chimney." Dr. Nelson B.

Sizer iu his letter published in tho Eagle of tho 10th sooms to have oleared the smoke out of that chimney, so that I need not roply further. It seems that "bonanza" is Just as I of Spanish origin aud means "fair weather at sea." Mr. Warwick holds up Mr. Macioy as the chief of tho bonanza kings and thinks I do him injustice iu my favoritism toward Flood and Fair. I expressed no favoritism, but gave them all as I found them In the record.

But Mr. Warwick says that my error in relation to John W. marriage is unpardonable nnd ho plodgos his honor to tho EAOI.B that my account of tliis affair is "manufactured out of wholo cloth, This criticism is too sovoro. 1 was not at tho wedding and did not know tho brido, but as to manufacturing tho story out of wholo clolh: Let us see. I stated that Mrs.

Mackaywastho daughtor of Colonel Huugerford, that hor first husband was Dr. Thompson, who had been Mackay's partner and was killed by a boulder; that Mackay had promised his partner to protect his wifo and child, which promise he kojjt by mar rying the widow and adopting the child, who is now tho Countess of Colonua; aud all this Mr. Warwick pronounces a "lloorback." Two years ao Bradley Company, of Philadol. phin, published a volume entitled "Famous Amorl can Fortunes and tho who have Made I C. Holloway is the author, aud is good authority on such matters.

Well, from this volume, at page 75, I quote the following: On tho 2oih of Novomber, 1807. lie (John W. Mackay) married the daughtor of Colonel Daniel E. Hungorford. of the United States Army, and widow of Dr.

Thompson, a former partner of Mr. Mackay's. They were parlnors, however, iu ill luck, for, after having made a moderate Bum during those days of wandering and prosperity, they struck a small load which promit'oJ fairly and Thompson sent to the Kant for his wife and daughter. The Journey was a tedious one then, and by the time Jr3. Thompson arrived both hor misbanu anu Mackay woro 'dead broke' Together the two started azaiu to try and rotrieve their for tun.

is, (nd in tearing sido hilj a largo rock was suddoulv disniaeed. falling on Thompson, and he. shortly after, di'jd. He had boon tenderly cared for Ijv Mackay in his last lion r.i, aud ls conscious of his fate. Alt ills thoughts naturally turnod on his wife and chiid, whom had summoned to this ruugh and unsettled country, and whom ho was now abo it to leave without any means of support.

Mackay, in his rough and genorous way, promised his friend that thoy should not want; that he would tnK'u earn of thorn, and tho injured minor diod comforted, for he knew he could put full trust in the promise of John Mackay. Two years later his word was kepi inure fully than lie originally meant; he married Mrs. Thompson aud adoptod ashisown tho little daughter, nnd certainly no lady was over bettor adapted to help a man spend an enormous fortune, dispensing tho most genorous hospitality in two hemispheres." Now tho historian may be mi jtakou and Mr. Warwick may bo correct iu stating that Mrs. Mackay's first husband's namo was Bryaut and not Thompson, but Ifiehoiieu is not Justly liable to tho ehargo of manufacturing roorbacks out of wholo cloth! Mr.

Warwick corrects liicheliou for indulging in an ungallant ning at Mrs. Mito'tay for her late visit to the Queen." Hichelieu would rather plead guilty to. an inaccuracy than to a want of gallantry. If he has anything left to bo proud of, it Is his feoliug of gallantry to the bettor half of croation, but ho cannot sco why any American lady takes pride In lowering hor charactor by visiting scenes of royalty or showing allcgianco to tho 'iueen of Knglaud. Hor husband Is a native of Ireland and an American citizen.

Before obtaining tho boon of American fellowship, ho solemnly swore on tho Holy Evangelists that he divestod himself of all alloglauoe to that (iuoen. The fatliors of tho American liopublie would not allow any born subjoct of England to profane tho temple of American citizenship till he swore against tho Is it consonant with hor husband's adjuration against that Queen to worship around tho footstool of abomin ated monarchy? Will sho or any of hor apologists toll us what tho oath of naturalization moans? "I forswear all allegiance," says her husband, nnd sho, one with that husband, eagerly pays court to tho forsworn dlguity. A sincerely reformed drunkard will not be found tipping the bottle or smelling tho cork, and an honost, naturalized citizen will not be found kneollag at tho throne, or paying de votion to tho anathomatizod mouarchs. In dis approving of those things I may uot be fashion able, but I think I am American. Jofferson ex pressed the wish that a soa of fire migtit roll between us and England to consume the buttordes of fashion that flock arouud the dazzlemont of mon archy and aristocracy.

Mrs. Mackay is doubtless a noblo and charitable womau and sho can vindicate hor self rospoct as an American by refusing to burn incense at tho shrine of monarchy. Thore was a stroak of Democratic spirit In hor offer to tho municipality of Paris to buy tho Arc do Trlompho and its surroundings to illuminate for General Grant. Sho can afford to pay Bovonty thousand francs to Mcissoiiulor for a portrait of herself iu black satin, coverod with heavy gimp aud bead embroidery work, a black Gainsborough hat tilted over the right slmuldor, festooned in Spanish stylo, and a brown ilush mantle, bordered with fur, thrown loosely over tho right shoulder, whilo she draws on hor loft hand a long, yollow, mousquotaire glove, and If uot pleased witli it sho can tear tho canva3 aud throw it at the artist's foot or taco. Sho can afford lo do what she pleases, for she lias the monoy, but she had bolter imitate her Irish husband and forswear all kings, queons and princes whatever, and particularly the Quoon of Great Britain, whilo that hus band indulges In the red shirt sleoves, the trousers tucked Into his boots and the broad brimmed felt hat of his mining days.

Tho sudden rise to richos if so many poor Irish emigrants on tho Pacific slope was wonderful. Fair, Flood, Mackay and O'Brien, with their scores of millions of dollars; the first mentioned now the wealthiest United States Senator; Flood, tho wheelwright, and Mackay, the ship carpenter, with money enough in their purses to buy out the effete monarchies of Europe O'Brien, of the Auction Lunch," of Washington street, scattering millions of gold among his poor relatives, whom we used to meet In Brooklyn nnd Bay Ridge. Others might bo mentioned. Peter Donohue, the blacksmith of Pater son, in New Jersey, recontly dying in San Francisco, usod to travel from the Paeiflo to the Atlantic In his own palace car to visit his little daughter at school with the Sisters of Charity at St. Joseph's, Emmotsburg.

Miles D. Sweeney, a native of Donegal, whom "HIcholleu" used to know in hi little storo iu Philadelphia, now one of the wealthiest citizens and bank presl deuts in San Francisco, also traveling with his family in his own palace car. Mrs. Mackay, with her "maglo palaee on whoola," coating one hundred and fifty thousand francs and always kept ready for her use at ten thousand francs a year. Such Is the chango In fortune of some ot the poor Irish emigrants to the Pacific Coast who have becomo Immensely wealthy In mining and banking operations.

Then in political affairs we have had David C. Brodorick, born of Irish parents in the District of Columbia, in Docembor, 1818, removing with his fatiior to New York when ho was 5 years of ago apprenticed to tho trado of stonecutter; foreman of a flro engine company In New York. Removed to California in 1849; a member of the convention that framed the constitution of that State; president of the Senate of California in 1851 elected iu 1850 to the United Slates Senate and sat among tho marble pillars of the old Senato Chamber which were cut by his father while living In Washington; aud killed lua duel by David S. Terry, Chief Justlco of tho Supreme Court of California, who recontly married his client, who claimed to bo the wife of Senator Sharon. Eugene Casserly, a native of Ireland, born in 1822, came to Now York with his parents In 1824.

Ills father, Patrick Sarsflold Casserly, a thorough Latin scholar, author of a Latin prosody, who used to keep a book store In Nassau street, New York, which he called The Moral Conter of the Intellectual World." Engagod as assistant editor of the Freeman's Journal with the late James W. Whito, a nephew of Gerald Griffin, author of "Glsslpus" aud "The Collegiaus," whose sou is now city editor of the A'etfl Port Herald. Mr. Casserly went to California in 1850 and was elected in 1809 to the United States Senate. John Conness, born In Ireland in 1821, came to this country when 13 years of age, went among the first emigrants to California, was three or four times elected lo the Legislature of that State and in 1803 came to Congress as United States Senator, when toward the close of his term ho pushed forward iu the Senate, with much opposition from Senator Sumnor, tho groat law of July 27, 1808, on the right of expatriation.

Ho Is now residing in Massachusetts. lie was a prominent leader of the Republican party In the Pacific States. James A. McDougall was born lu Bothlehem, N. November 19, 1817; assisted insurvoylng the first railroad built lu the United States, betwoou Albany and Schonoptady, with an Inollned plane at oach end.

In 1837 he wont to Illinois and was elected Attorney General of that State. In 1849 he originated an exploring expedition to Rio dol Norte, the Gila and Colorado. Thence to California, and becamo Attorney General of that State in 1850. Ho was a representative In Congress from California in 1853 5 and In 1881 was elected United States Senator from that State. He died at Albany In 1807.

Like many men of genius, ho eometlmos indulged in drink too freely, and I remember him in the troubled times after the assassination of President Lincoln riding on a spirited horse to the White House and with drawn sword taking his place among the cavalry who kept guard over the entrances to the Executive mansion. As he was a Senator ho was allowed to indulge bis eccentricities. The pioneers to the Pacific Coast have been a wonderfully energetic lot of men and most of them very lucky. They developed a new phase of American manhood. The.

Isaae Bennett Makes an Inflammatory Speech, in which He Bonndly Abuses the Piebald Aristocracy of America." Otto Fnller Says that the Victory is Half "Won The Men Swear to Stick by the Union and Tiold Blind Obedience to Their Head Men. In response to a private call for a mass meeting the members of the Sugar House Work mens' Union began to assemble at Turn Hall, Mes erole street, about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and by 3 o'clock, when thoy were called to order by Mr. Frederick Belz, tho auditorium, ante room and galleries were pocked with meu whose faces have become familiar on First street, between Broadway and Grand street, during the past ten days.

Mr. Otto FuUer, of the Central Labor Union, made a lengthy address in German, telling the strikers to be of good cheer as the victory was half won. Addressing himself particularly to the men of Mollor, Sierck who were to be paid off by the arm before 5 P. he warned them that when they presented themselves at the reflnery each man would be left the option of choosing between two envelopes one containing the exact amount due him according to the number of days he had worked in the month, and tho other, a full months' pay without any deduction, the Idea being that by accepting the latter he would agree to go back to work on the old arrangement. The speaker then told the men to stand up and come forward.

This they did, and he then put the question to them, "Are you resolved still to stand by tho Union?" Aloud "Ay was the response, and it was received with thunderous applause, which presently subsided, but broke forth anew on the in troduction of Mr. Isaac Bennett, who said Friends and Fellow Workwomen This is the second time that I step before you to remind you of your duty. But to day I have something else to tell you, and It is that tne so caned party or law ana ordor has soon lit to proclaim opon war auainst tho working classes of this Stato and against every crave ana generous neartou man wno aares open his mouth to utter a word ror the welfare of his tei low workingman. Under tho so called Conspiracy law such men may at any moment be arrested. And this In a country which proclaims liberty and equality to all men But under tho laws of this county I assert that you have the right to protoct yourselves, though for saying so may be arrested, forsooth, on the chargo of conspiracy.

Oh, indocd, when the oppressed unite to aay tt is cauea conspiracy, 'mere was a timo whon the American people were called conspirators because they avorod a union in order to strike a blow at tho British Government Applause. At that time tho American people, toxod without representation, nau no tow tor tnetr protection. To day the poor, inoffensive workingmen, who organize as a class, not for the purpose of revenge, not to dostroy llfo or property, not to say to thoir oppressors, "Give ub what you have taken from us out simmy to say; "vve havo been toil ing those long years for you; wo have increased the wealth which you possess. For heaven's sake. then, give us only the means of living like human bolnga." Applause.

Yes, the public press and tho men who control the country call you conspirators, aud those who have robbed you, should you ask for your rights, have men in the arsenals ready to shoot you down. But you will not give them the protoxt. You will fight them In ouothor way. You will say to them, "Gentlemen, we mean to conduct ourselves peaceably, and If you do otherwise you will seo what you will get by it" There was a timo here in America whon the law proclaimed liberty ond equality to every human being. Thero existed then, under the national banner and within the Union, States which held human boings in slavery, and they proclaimed that these human boings were not human beluga as wo ore, aud were not, thorofore, entitled to the same rights aud privileges.

And yet the point of a noedle ponotratlug the flesh of tho slave produced the same effect that it produced by penetrating tho flcih of a white man. The slavo was capable of feeling liungor as the white man is. Then I dare to proclaim that bo the mau dark, red, yollow or c.ny other color, ho has as much right to freedom aud protection as anybody else. But the mon who wont to those slaves and told them that it was their natural right to be free how did they fare? They woro dragged off public platforms, drivon from State to State and called fanatics and lunatics, who should be imprisoned or Bhordown. The same treatment is roceivod to day by the friends of the workingman from the piebald aristocracy of America.

Great applause. Thoy would have us In lunatic asylums in order to got rid of us, because we proclaim that tho whito slaves, too, Bhall and must be free. Applause. My friends, I remember, looking back to my boyhood, a man whose memory should bo dear to every ono nn humble, noble thinking man, who folt so enthusiastic lu the work of abolishing slavery that with a handful of men he went to Harper's Ferry and engagod in open rebellion against the slave owners. He failed.

What could he do? He was taken prisoner according to the existing laws of that time. A Jury of American citizens conderanod him to die tho death of a felon. That man was murdered under the laws of the United States. Tremendous applause. That man was murdered because ho thought it right to rescue human beings from slavery and degradation." Only a few years later the so called Republican party, recognized as the party of freedom, come into power that party which should bo in the lunatic asylum.

But it was soon evident that emancipation was not the aim of the Republicans. They merely said to the slavo holders, "You can stay whore you ore with slavery, but you must not go any furthor. They never said that the slave should be free. But when the slave holdors saw that slavery was doomed they said: "We'll secede," and they hauled down the Flag of tho Union aud ran up tho flag of secession. But the people said "the I nion must be kept up." Then came the war and tho black man waB emancipated.

Therefore, whon our friends say that union and boycotting aro fovoign Ideas, tell them thoy aro a sot of ignorant fools, It Is tho duty of every man to stand by this free Government Struggles must tako place aud you must bo prepared for them. Here the speaker deprecated the acceptance by Mollor, Slorck Co's. men of any gratuity as an inducement for them to desert their organization. Continuing, he said: Thoro are people In New York and Brooklyn who. If thoy havo but $4 each, aro ready to share it with you; and if you should bo constrained to subsist on bread and water as Beechor says you are ablo to do be contented to do so, and by and by you will be in a position to invite Henry Ward Beeoher to partako of boefstoak aud onions.

Laughter aud applause. Yes, wo will bo con tonted with bread and water when we must; but, once wo are unitod, and our union is recognized and respected, you will all be able to have respectable homes, good clothing and good moals, and Mr. Beecher will no longer havo roason to soy that workingmen will bo contout with broad and water. None of you, I am sure, came to this country with the Idea of bolng obliged to live ou bread and water, but to be recognized and treated os human beings. Go straight ahead.

It makes no difference how long you ore kept out. Tho day Is at hand whon liberty and equality before the law will be recognized throught this broad country. Ludwlg Rustic, a Polo, addressod his countrymen in their native tongue. In speech and action ho was the most impassioned speaker of the occasion, ond was frequently npplouded. Mr, Edward King said that Information had reached him that some of the workmen were being visited privately at their homes by parties who offered thein $2 a day to go to work.

"If any porson comes to you offering such an inducement," he said, "break his neck and kick him downstairs." In conclusion he sold: "Stond solidly together. Victory stares you in the face. Thoro is only ono point on which the refiners hesitate. They don't wish to recognize the union, but Tta sure that they will accept thot too. If you go In without the union being recognized you will soon bo workiug for $1 a day, nnd your bosses would be serving you right if, beside, thoy gave each of you twonty flvo lashes and salt and pepper to boot Don't tell your business to evory one you moets Boware of reporters.

AH they want is to get something to enable the paper to make a hurrah ou the streets. Mr. Itobort Dixon, of Grand stroet, who had beon a foreman In Havomeyers Elder's refinery for flf toon yoorB, presontod the union with $50 and made a brief address, but In bo low a voice that ho was in audlblo at a short distance Ho was loudly ap plaudod. Mr. J.

Franz also made a brief address. Mr. King called upon tho members to be prosent at Turn Hall at 5:30 o'clock this evening to proceed to the Union Square meeting In New York. NORTH SEVENTH STREET STILT PEACEFUL. No Pickets on Duty Lnt Niffbt at Dick Sc ffleyoT'd.

Only a fow mon loitered on the sidewalk in front of Dick Meyer's Koflnory, at North Seventlt nnd First streets last night. None of them wore badges, and as they could not be designated as a crowd tho police did not interfere. The interior of the premises presented a more desolate appearance than at any time elnce the strike began. A workman sat inside the bolted gate and a pollcoman chatted with him occasionally. The only lights visible woro on tho first and second floors of the office building.

The Arm has a large stock of raw sugar on hand, and tho refinery Is cleaned up and ready for operation at any moment Should an agreement not be reached with the employes it is probable that work will be commenced with now mon in the eorly port of next week. Sevoral truck loads of sugar were carted from tho premises yesterday and more will bo sent out to day. Tho "late employes," as Mr. Dick designates thn strikers of his establishment, will bo paid off this afternoon. No trouble is anticipated.

The omployers seem to think that the men will return to work in a few days. CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY. Sugar House Picket Arrested Threatening Woskmou. for Detective Short, of the Fifth Preoinot, arrested Henry Duckweider, a rod ribboned picket, last night, on First atteet, in front of the promises of the Brooklyn Refining Company, on the separate charges of conspiracy and coercion, made by Henry Weiss and Potor Martin, employes of the reflnery named. The warrants on which the arrest was made wore Issued by Justice Naohor.

Whon Duck woldor was taken Into custody ho was vory much surprised and made a show of resistance, but ho might as woll have tried to roo himself from a vise as from tho Arm grasp o' the athletic ofllcor. Whon Short had started with his prisoner to tho station house a picket In the vicinity advised a small body of strikers to make a dash and rescue their comrade They Btarted to do ao, hut fleet footed boy of 15 yoars, who had overheard tho conversation, notified the dotoctivo, who looked around and warned the atrikera not to follow him. Thoy did not The boy accompanied tho detective and his prisoner to the station bouse. Duckweldor, who is SO years old and lives at 810 Graham avenuo, was instantly recognized by Sorgoant Buford as having beon tho most active of the strikers who congregated in front of the Brooklyn reflnery. Tho accused Is said to be tho man who incited the strikers In front of tho refinery last weok to resistance to tho police.

He la accused of threatening the complainants with bodily violence if they continued working at tho Brooklyn refinery.

The All Saints' Church Affair Mr.

God dard States His Case The OhosHoii of Wages. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle Referring to the article in tho edition of the Brooklyn Eagle of April 29 I would say that I and my family attondod several times at All Saints' Church, and in consequence of tho earnest preaching of Mr. Boyd, whom wo havo como to look upon as one of the be3t aud soundest preachers In the Episcopal Church of Brooklyn, we determined to connect ourselves with his church, and not from any feeling toward tho vestry with whom we were totally unacquainted and of whom we even now know very littlo. I undoretand from many sources that the treatment of Mr. Boyd by the lato vestry and church wardens has been, to uso mild ion guage, very ihabby, so much so that to maintain his own self respect, he was compelled to send In his resignation, fully intending it to be final, as he did not know that the foelingof the church at large was so groatly in his favor, until after preaching his farowoll Bermon on Eastor Sunday.

I would also state that had tbe members of the lato vestry taken tho views of tho congregation at largo, who havo contributed toward the support of the church instead of acting so hastily and egotistically in accepting tho resignation, they would possibly have found tho feeling in favor of the resignation not being accepted proportionately as great as that In the voto by which thoy wore ousted, 46 to la Tho remark made in the article alluded to by one of the old Board, that most, if not all of them, would loave the church, shows the same petty spirit which seoins to havo actuated them throughout that if they could not control the majority they would do all the harm thoy could. In conclusion I would soy that it is more than probable the church will suffer loss by losing the old rulers than by losing the reotor. I am ono who has paid his pow rent and is not a mombor of either Board. Brooklyn, April 30, 1880. MR.

GODDARD EXPLAINS. JBiai Extraordinary Experience at the JHfancl.i ot a Woman Who Claims to be Uis Wife, but Whom He Sti jrmalizes a an Adventures. To th Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle On Tuesday last tho World published a scandalous article concerning myself. My attention was called to it by a friend late Wednesday evening. I Immediately wrote a roply and carried it to tho ITord office myself, but for some reason they hax'e not seen fit to print it.

What can be thought of a paper which will print scurrilous articles against privato citizens and refuse to print anything they may wish to say iu their own defense Knowing your lovo of justice and fair play, 1 do not hesi tato to ask you to print the statement inclosed. Yours truly, E. A. GODDABD. New York, May 1RS6.

New Yohk, April 30, 1SS6. My attention has Just been called to an article In the H'erW of last Tuesday entitled Mrs. Goddard Explains." There is not a word of truth in the article oxcopt tho fact that a woman who has the effrontery to call herself Mrs. Coddard did publicly disgrace herself by reciting the story of her wrongs, as sho terms tlicm, to those who chancod to listen In tho parlor of tho Stevens House. Tho rest of the articlo that she backed him up against the railing and shook a bunch of legal documents in his face," etc, Is but the fanciful work of somo reporter's lively Imagination.

In Justlco to mysolf, to my friends and especially to my wife, who has been insulted by this shameless pretender to my name, I ask you to publish the following statement: First This woman la known as Madame L. J. elasquez, and there never was any pretense of marriago between ua. Second She know that I was a married man from the first day of our acquaintance two years ago last November, and many will testify to this fact whon called upon to do so. Third It is true that wo had business relations together.

She represented that she had property In Mexico and had established agencies in various places throughout Mexico nnd Central America. She had many schomos for making money, aud urgod thom with a plausibility wiiich unfortunately completely bamboozled me, and, through me, many cf my friends aud acquaintances. It Is sufficient to sny that not one of hor schemos have ever been realized, nor a Blngle representation as to her proporty has been verified. Sho did not have a dollar when I mot hor, and nover received a dollar during my connection with her, except what she borrowed from her friends or through mysolf. Fourth So long as 1 was willing to live with her she had no criticism to mako either of my business or personal rolalions with hor, but from the very first of our intimacy she gave mo to understand that if I ever loft her to go back to my wife sho would ruin me.

I soon found that I had to deal with an unscrupulous adventuress, as vindictive and cruel as she was cunning and deceitful, and I was moral coward enough to live under the shadow of this threat for more than a year, dreading the scandal and disgrace of an oxposure, and hoping that some of her many representations might prove true as to hor proporty and thus save the financial part of the connection by paying thoso of my friends who had parted with their money on her representations and mino. Fifth Within forty eight hours after I left her she went to many public places of business, carrying a babo supposed to be ners, proclaiming mo to be a villain of tho doopost dye and parading her own shanio in a manner which tho lowest outcast would have shrunk from doing. Sho also wrote to my wife a cruel and ingenious lcttor, which almost broke hor heart, nnd followed it up with others of a liko tenor to every friend and acquaintance whoso namo she chancod to know. Sixth This woman claims to havo been married Ave or six times prior to my meeting her, nnd if these men are all dead It is not to be woudored at, Judging by my own experiouco. I havo roason to believe, howovor, that at least one of these supposod husbands is living, and his fctory no doubt would provo interesting.

In conclusion, I would say that I deserve all the punishmont visited upon mo by thia disgraceful connection, and bow my head in shanio when I think of tho disgrace 1 have brought upon my friends, my family nnd myself by consenting to a life which made my overy act a lie It is with reluctance that I make this "statement, but 1 know of nu better way thau to boldly face the truth, and assure my frietds that in the yoars to como I hope to redeem mysolf in their estimation. But what safety is there for any man against tho slanderous tongue of an abandoned woman, who cares nothing for hor own reputation and who will descend to anything fer the sake of revenge? Tso doubt this woman will attempt to repeat the dls gracoiul sceno of Monday wbonever and wherever we may meet, but in duo time her power to injure others as sho has injured me will bo ended. A. Goddard. $1.35 A DAY HOT E50UG11.

To the Editor of the llrooklin Eagle In tiie newspaper account of the strike in the BtTgar refineries I read that the men employed receive payment at the rate of $1.35 per day. Now, It la self evldont that a family can scarcely live decently on such an amount. The owners of these establishments luBtead of recognizing tho fact that in paying their employes thoy are not drawing from their capital, but are poylng from tho product of thoir labor act wholly contrary to this axiomatic proposition. Somo of these proprietors assert that as the laborors are unskillod they should not expect any largo compensation. It matters not whether tho workors aro sklllod or unskilled If the capital of tho employers Is constantly and largely augmented, thon It Is plain that the men have not received tho proper share of their production.

Secondly, It Is quite timo that tho current law that supply and demand must govern wages should be relegated to the past, and tho Christian law that mon must bo paid living wnges whether tho market is overstocked or not be substituted. S. B. CB.1LDS, M. D.

Brooklyk, April 29, 1SS6. COLUMDIA COLlaEUE GLEE CLUB. It Animal Concert in Historical Hall Twenty ono young men attired in evening dross and wearing red buttonicres appeared on the stago of Historical Hall, Plerrepont aud Clinton streots last evening. Thoy woro mombors of the Columbia College Gleo Club, and tho occasion was their animal concert. Each year the visits of the Yale and Columbia College Glee Clubs to Brooklyn nro looked forward to and appreciated.

Both clubs have been beard at Historical Hall this season, but it would be difficult to say which possosso3 the most talent. In many rospocts last night's programme was difficult of interpretation, but fully within the abilities of tho club, owing to its careful training at the hands of Messrs. Walker and Wood. Among tbo soloists Mr, Mooro wus perhaps tho favorite. This gentleman sang a number of negro melodies in true Southern stylo.

His "Put ou do Cioldou Slippers" and "Hear dom Bolls" wero enthusiastically re coivod. Mr. Smith, a gentlemen who claims to be superior to J. K. Emmet as a warbler, rendered "On tho Chapol Steps" and the "Switzor Boy." One oi tho most difficult numbers was the "Legend ot tho Rhino," by Smart Thii was well sung, tho tonor and bass voices blending in a pleasing manner.

The concert was closod with tho soronado, "In Die Forest." J01IH C. liltKCKBXltlDGB'S SILVERY BIB. Colonel Tom Howard, who is in Washington, as Senator Colquitt's private socretarj'i said recontly "I shall nevor loso the Impression which John Brockonridge made on mo tho only timo I ever saw him. I wns a boy and was pooping at the big men In Washington. Olio day I was Introduced to Mr.

Breckonridgo. He was, 1 think, the Suest specimen of physical manhood I ovor saw, but thore was one thing about htm which impressed mo most of alh It was his own dhotul oyo. He had an oyo Uke a rattlesnake." "What do you mean, Colonel 1" "Did you uovor look Into a rattlesnake's eye 1 If you havo not do so tho next chance you get It Is a wonderful tiling. It seems to bo looking into eternity and is as clear as any silver moon you ovor saw. Thore Is no eyo like a rattlesnake (ionfa Consfi'tttfioii.

CUUI0VS F.FFKCT OF ATKARISG CORSETS. A young lady of Columbus, about to visit the gonorating statlor. Df tho electric light company, was told to leave her watch homo lest It might bo' magnotized by tho strong olectrlc current. Sho did so, but complainod afterward that hor watch would not keop good time. She sent It to a Jeweler, but ho reported that tt was not magnetized and kept good time.

Still, whenever nho carrlod It hor time was too slow, although when she left It in her room itran correctly. A gonUepinn who knew ot tho circivm stance suggested to tho young lady that she wear another pair of corsets when next she carried tho watch. Sho did so and had no furthor trouble with tho watch. The steel springs iu hor corsets had, been magnetized. Savannah Hiict.

A VAHlKfJATED FEItH. Umler the popular but rather indefinite namo of silver fern, wo have the woll known pteris nrgyrea, one of tho most ornamental ferns In cultivation at the present time. It is nu evorgreon groouhouse plant of robust growth, tho fronds being from two to four foot in longth, and the lower part blpartlto aud of a beautiful nnd distinct silvery white color, margined with bright green, the decided contrast iu color mnking it ono of our most valuable ornamental plants for greenhouse and conservatory decoration, and, besido, it is equally at homoin tho window gardon. It Is a plant that can bo easily cultivated, and should be given a compost of turfy loam and one part of well decayed leaf mold, well mixed.

In potting uso porous or soft baked pots and lot thom be proportionate to the size of tho plant, and see to It that thoy aro well drained for although the plant roqulros a liberal supply of wator, yot It dislikes to have wator standing around its roots. During the plant's season of growth, which Is principally during the Summer months, it Rhould be given a warm moist atmosphore, and a liberal supply of water both overhoad and at tho roots, but on tho nppronch of cold weather tho supply of water should bo gradually reduced. During tho Winter season tho plants should be glvon a temperature of from 50 degioo3 to 55 dogrees, and enough wator at tho roots to prevent them from becoming dry. Viek't Magazine. CAMPBELL'S FASB.

When the poet asked hor If sho had over heard of Mr. Campboll and his books sho replied with au emphatic yos. Then," Bald tho poet, greatly pleased, "I am Mr.

Campboll." "What," asked tho woman in delight, "Aro you really tho groat Mr. Campboll 7" The poet was framing a moc'est answer, when she burst on him with some questions about Lattakoo.

Rodnor Tliurnby. In the death of ex Oounty Clerk Rodney Thurgby, which occurred at the family residence on South Fourth Btreet, near Fifth street, at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, as already announced in the columns of the Baolk, the City of Brooklyn, and especially tho Eastern District, has lost ono of its best known and most popular residents. Mr. Rodney Thursby's father was born in Ireland and emigrated to this country at the beginning of the present century. After remaining for a few years in New York he came to this city and began to manufacture cord and twines on Fulton street, above Orange street, which neighborhood was then regarded as a rural one; bo the shop was In the country.

Tho thrifty young Irishman's neighbor Blacksmith Galbraith, whose aliop was situated below Orange stroet, had in his family a handsome daughter named Hannah, whom Air. Thursby married. The blacksmith was a Scotchman, and his shop remained for many years as a landmark after Brooklyn had grown to considerable proportions. Mr. Thursby's father's business kept pace with the growth of Brooklyn, and in timo tho little shop was abandoned for a largo ropewalk, which was established on Adams street, uot far from tho City Hall.

He amassed a large fortune and moved his business to Bushwlck. He had Ave sons and two daughters, most of whom are now living. He diod mauy yoars ago and his wifo survived until within tho past few years. Mr. Rodney Thursby was born iu Brooklyn about flfty flvo yoars ago and when he grew to manhood he developed thoso social qualities for which he was noted through life.

Ho was an enthusiastic flro laddie and had hold prominent positions in the Eastern District Volunteer force. As flro matters aud politics went hand In hand In those days Mr. Thursby was dragged into the maelstrom of politics almost without realizing it, and on election day he was sure to be found at the polls. But his activity did not cease thero, for In addition to talking politics tho year around and spondiug his monoy frocly in the interest of the Democratic party he occasionally took an active part in primaries, which wero then conducted In what somo old timers now regard as the good old Democratic way. When a young man Mr, Thursby married tho favorite daughter of tho late ex Mayor Martin Kalb fleisch.

Mr. Thursby's activity and party fealty was rewarded many years ago by his appointment as Excise Commissioner. After leaving the oflleo he manifested as much interest In politics as over and contested soveral primaries against tho leaders of tho party in the Thirteenth Ward. Mr. John W.

Flaherty was lu control of tho ward when he was appointed a City Works Commissioner. Mr. Thursby mado a contest and wro3tod the leadership from him. Mr. Thursby throw up the ward leadership in disgust two years later, but, when he had assurances that if ho secured the ward delegation to tho County Convention In the Fall of 1882 he would receive the nomination for County Clerk, ho mado a fight aud beat Judge Fox, Patrick Hnyos, City Works Commissioner Conner and tho men at present In control, thus establishing his strength and influonco in his ward.

He was elected County Clork by largo majority. Mr. Thursby was a warm, kind hearted gentle man, of gonerous impulses, who was liberal almost to a fault with his money. Ho was very much attached to his family, which now consists of his widow nnd eight children. Ho was an uncle of Miss Emma C.

Thursby, tho great songstress. Mr. Thursby drovo, of lato years, down the road in his wagon almost dally, accompanied by his wife. He was a member of tho firm of Kalbfloi3ch Sons Co. aud hold tho position of superintendent of the premises.

His family is amply provided for. FOURTH ANNIVERSARY.
