While the. others hehl him, one cadet cut off the flowing heard with a pair of shears. Then the cadets took their fight. On Sunday titry or more cadets marched down to the Itiverview House, paid sde. each and ate a hearty dinner.

Mr, Metielas has two acres ol jute.whteh he cultivated for no other purpose than to afford the material for jute machines to experiment with.

In order to place in the proper light the position of a gentleman who. cun lined to a bed ol illness, cannot defend himself, I beg to trespass on your space. Three respectable citizens, Messrs. Baker, Dixon and Devlm, as a committee from tbe Knights of Labor, waited on Mr. John VV.

Wilson and informed mm that his name would be presented by that body to tbe mass meeting of the Democratic party as a lit aud proper person lor Representative. That meeting was regularly called by the Executive Committee of the party, every preparation wan (iuiy made, the chairman of the meeting himself announced that it had been called by the Executive Committee, and expressing the hope that tne action of the evening would be ratified at the ballot box. That it was a mistake to have called an open air meeting may be true, and that persons not Democrats may have voted may be equally true, but tbe call tor tbe meeting was by authority, the proceedings regular, the vote the sound of the voice and on tbe division fairly taken ami the result declared nv the proper officer. The side with which the writer voted was defeated, judgment was rendered against us, but no one has attacked the integrity of the presiding officer or the fairness of his decision. It was under these Mr.

Wilson was at home seriously ill, that he was nominated. That he regrets this unseemly contest no one who knows him can doubt, but should he withdraw because a large number of eminently respectable gentlemen declare that the regularly nominated ticket not The writer has known Mr. Wilson from his boyhood. He may ho poor, and without tbe aid of family influence or corporate power, hut be is, and has always been, honest, industrious and honorable. He is a temperance man, in that he does not use intoxicating liquors; but he is opposed to prohibitory laws, believing ttpit each locality should control its own domestic policy.

He is a consistent member of the eburen, but does not obtrude bis upon others. He is a young man, but the years that he has given to the support of his fatherless little sisters and to his struggle in life have cultivated bis heart and strengthened his intellect. Unaided he has struggled as few young men have ever been forced to do. He would resign his nomination to-morrow if thereby he could allay parly dissensions and prevent the unseemly conflict between capital and labor, provided he could do so ith honor to himself and justice to others. But for him to say to tne Democratic party, despise your and to the Knights of Labor, ticket is not would be for him to do that which no good Democrat or fair-minded man would himself do.

It is understood that Messrs. Gordon. Reilly and Hartrldge have consented to become candidates. These gentlemen are Democrats, and 60 also are Messrs. Russell, Asbbv and Wilson.

The result will be a conflict that should, by all means, lie avoided. Let, then, the Executive Committee, which meets to-day, devise some plan of reconciliation. There ought to lie enough conservatism and pat. riotism left to solve the problem. The writer believes that Messrs.

Ashby aud Wilson do not wish a nominanation if unfairly obtained, and that, sinking personal considerations, they, with Messrs. Gordon, Reilly and Hartridge, would agree to any-lair and honorable adjustment. Amicus. Law vs. Labor.

Editor Morning News 1 In an article in your puper ot recent date the writer endeavored to show all legislation, as a rule, is more favorable to the workingman than any other class of citizens. Now, while such may bo the intention of our legislators, who no doubt are all humane men and would tain make ibe path of the workingman they have sense enough to know that without a contented working class there is no chance of a prosperous condition of trade let their intentions be ever so good, what are the facts? At the time of the transfer ot the Atlantic and Gulf railroad to Mr. Plant, when there was quite a large amount due ihe workmen of the road, did they pet their wages in preference to other claims? Decidedly, no. While individual lawyers collected tees amounting to thousands of dollars for very little work, the man who toiled and strained for months in the service of the company, and who helped lo make what was left, and who in all justice should have got a portion, got nothingunt one cent. Where was the legislation in their favor there? The lawyer is a good citizen in bis place, but when he can absorb the wages of 100 workmen without producing anything beneficial to mankind, and by a few strokes of his can cause sutl' nog and want anion the people, he fs not entitled to the support of any workingman, least Of all a Knight of Labor.

Those ot us who have to trudge through the deep sand to got to our homes appreciate nnd approve your editorial. A few public-spirited citizens living smith of Gaston street have paved front of their houses, hut majority of the property owners have not. i think the latter should be compelled to contribute their share to thu cnin'orts ot city life. There are a largo number of vacant lots, the owners of inch should at least Improve them by putting down good sidewalks. A system ot paving in the centre ol thu sidewalk and leaving a margin on each side would he an ecouomical method of providing footways, and it would at least for tho present give the necessary relief.
