Independent—Not Neutral!
THURSDAY, JUNE 12. 1873.
The April Number of Harper's Mag-'
taint, contains an interesting article en
titled “Agricultural Laborers in Kng
gland,” which indicates plainly tL.e
union and co.operation of The agricultu
ral laborers of that coutry under the
leadership of Joseph Arch, who is rep
resented as a man of force, earnestness,
and eloquence, and possessing all the
qualities req dred in the exalted sphere
to which his ambition aspires—a Re
former.
This man, of whom we have heard so
little,but who lias made himself a terror
to the English landed proprietors,is about
forty-five years of age, of Saxon de
scent, and thoroughly indentified with
the class he represents, and for whoso
benefit lie is exerting In., mighty ener
gy. Born a laborer, and au English
laborer! A life that most nearly recalls
the iusoripton of the Inferno, “all
hope abandon, vo who- enter here.” —
He has acquired influence enough
amongst his class, to bo acknowleged
their leader,without a rival—and elicits
applause at Exeter Hall, which is
withheld from more highly educated
men, who addressed the same meeting.
Arch is not a Bed Republican, and
oo coinmuuc sentiment ever escapes
from bis lips—ou the contrary, “when
interrupted at one of the meetings,with
theshout of'burn down the big houses,’ ”
with flashiug eye,he thundered, “in that
case, count Josepii Arch against you!”
His only desire is to form Labor
Unions, who will be able to command
compensation for their labor; he says,
that laborers wages from C to 10 shil
lings ($1 50 to 2 50 per week), with 10
to 14 hours per day work, with house
rout to pay out of this miserable pit
anee, and time lost, from what ever
cause,deducted out of wages, is totally
inadequate to keep the laborer and his
family from actual want.
Although the first public meeting
to further this cause, was only held in
Feb. 1872, (at which time Arch addres
sed 10 or 12 thousand laborers at
Wellesbourne), considerable progress
has been made towards perfecting the
Organization of these Unions—great
-difficulties arc in the way of this organ
ization—the agricultural classes of
England arc extremely ignorant, and
the clergymen of all denominations op-
pose the movement; as tlie clergy are
dependent upon the landholders for
their support-but “every dark cloud has
its silver lining,” and the silver lining
in this cdse, is the sympathy which
the inhabitants of large cities have for
the laborers. With the uoblo English
characteristic—love of fair play—the
denizens of cities will, probably, side
with the down-trodden laborer, and de
mand a redress of their grievances.—
At present, Arch only asks a royal
commission to investigate thoroughly,
and to make a report upon the condi
tion of the agricultural laborers, and,
of the compensation they receive, in all
j>arts of England. When the true con-
dition’of things is known,he is confident
that a sense of justice will lead to a re
peal of the opprosive labor laws now 7 in
force. If he is disappointed iu this, he
advises his fellow laborers to emigrate.
The picture he draws of want of
morality, and aspiration amongst the
agricultural classes is truly distressing,
he says, “life is worth so little to them,
its prospect for themselves and child
ren hold out so little hope, that they
are too apt to plunge in any vice which
promises momentary gratification and
oblivion.'' All this he rightly attributes
to grinding poverty, which is forced on
theoi by the circumstances which sur
round them.
These demands by plebeian English
jneo to their aristocratic landlord’s,
cause strange rejections. How rapidly
has republicanism and liberty marched
is 4he past few years; not long since
the cry of liberty and reform—only mean
liherty and reform to the better classes
—the masses were totaly unfit for any
thing, except to fill their menial places, !
ind spill their blood in every quarter of
;he globe, to maintain England’s glory,!
,nd enrich her aristocracy and mereau- t
tile classes. In return for their labor
and prowess, the aristocracy extended
their protection over these inferior crea
tures, deigned to notice them in a pat
ronising wnv, and kept them in igno
rance botvm.se “a little learning is a
dangerous thing.”
But, the wonderful waking up of the
lower classes of the Oaucassian race,to
the fact that they are men, and of the
same flesh and blood us their superiors
in station, has reached even haughty
England—yea, file most ignorant class
of Englishmen, and they demand in
the iinmc justice, that they shall be
heard in their gricvanco f

IMPEACHMENT RUMORS.
! Grant’s Drtiqkonnesn thcßtsis tt ore- j
of—Teinperauco Folks Can't Stand
it Any Longer.
The following is an extract from a
Into Washington special to tho New
Y ork Graphic :
The country will hear, with surprise I
mid pain, tlint a serious movement is on 1
foot to prepare materials for the im
peachment of the President of the
United States. It is alleged by the
promoters of this new political venture
that President Grant’s habits are such
that the nation cannot afford to l ave
him continue as its Chief Magistrate
any longer Thcro lias always been a
suspicion that his tlirist for stimulants
was excessive and beyond the control of
his will, and it is now known that ly
tho influence, especially of his wife,-he
has been kept as much as possible from
temptation; nnd that- when ho yielded
to the seductions of the cup, the family
judiciousrestraiuts and reticences, have
been enabled to save the nation much
scandal. It is now alleged that the
miserable propensity which compelled
the resignation of Captain Grant from
the army in former times has again ob
taiucd(such a mastery thatbalfof his time
he is under tho influence of drink
and that the public business suffers
lamentably on this very account. Now
this may he all hearsay and personal
Scandal ; but 1 can assure you that it
is credited in more quarters than the
public is aware of, and that the move
ment is a serious one, looking to his
deposition from tho high office he now
fills.
Grant can and will laugh all such
rumors and even movements to scorn.
A man who has done what he has with
out impeachment, can get drunk every
day in the year, and show himself in
the streets of Washington dr elsewhere,
without the slightest fear of that or any
thing else. He is the mister of this
country and people, and will get drunk
or do •anything else lie pleases, just
whenever and wherever and as often as
he pleases. —Macon Telegraph <§• Messen

j made a visit to Arlington, her former

1 eleven thousand Union soldiers having
; been buried on tile plaoe. Yesterday
, the National Republican hero had au

Tub Walworth Tragedy.—The New
York Herald in recapitulating the inci
| douts connected with the killing of Wal
worth by his sou Frank iu that city,
says, that some of the iusulting letters
from Walworth had fallen into the
hands of their son, and contained insin
uations against tho virtue of his mother
and his own legitimacy. From all ac
counts Walworth was a very dissolute
and vindictive man. The Graphic is
not far from right when it speaks of
his violent death as the natural end of a
vicious life.
Noth Extraordinary. —A promi
nent mercantile firm of Staunton, Vir
ginia, in closing up an account, received
from one of their customers the follow
ing promisory note : “On or before the
Ist day of September, 1873, I promise
to pay to Bumgarduer & Sous, the sum
of sl3 with interest from date, for value
received. And I hereby waive the
benefit of the bankrupt, homestead, and
all other rascally acts that have boon,
or may bo passed by Congress or the
Legislature, as regards this debt. Wit
ness my hand and seal this 27th March,

Tub Rkmarriaok ok Slaves.— The
following is the text of the important
resolution adopt id by the convention of
colored Christians at Lexington, Ky.,
the other day:
Jlesohtd, That we recommend to all
the churches that hereafter all persons
members of the Christian Church who
shall live together as mm and wife i
shall be urged to procure a marriage
certificate; ami further, we recommend I
that not more than twelve mouths he

FIRST IN THE FIELD.
The Lexington, Missouri, Caucasian,
nominates the following ticket for tho
Presidential race in 1867. It is cer
tainly ft strong ticket and will be hard
to bent, especially if the inhabitant* of
the lava beds are allotted to vole:
For President in 1876—Captain
Jack, tho Modoc Leonidas!
For Vice President—Hon. Shack
nasty "Jim, of Oregon.
For Secretary of State—Hon. Jocko
Ponipoy Hunchback, of Louisiana. .
For Secretary of War—Hon. Jas.
Bender, of the Devil’s Kitchen, Kan
sas.
For Secretary <>f tho Treasury and
Chief Custodian of the Spoons Hon.
(?) Bcastic F. Butler, of Nasty-Nasty
chusctts.
For Head Hostler and Cleaner of
the Dog Kennels—Ulysses S. Grant,
of anywhere a Dead-Beat Excursion
may take hun.
Tho Radical Congressmen who re-
cently visited New Orleans are free in
their expressions of opinion that Durell
and Kellogg are political scouidreta of
the worst type, who ought to bo remov
ed from office.
In n town in Kansas, the other day.
a farmer was taken seriously ill, unable
to do his farm work. Seventeen of the
“grangers rigged their teams and broke
up twenty seven acres of ground, and
left it for planting.” There is some
thing practical in that kind of grange
work.
The Baltimore Gazette says Colouel
Louis M. Montgomery, of London, now
in that city representing some European
capitalists in railway and landed inter
ests in this country, has just closed a
purchase on English account of a very
large tract of valuable colony agricul
tural land in one of the Middle South
ern States.
Newspaper mistakes are scarcely un
avoidable. Every issue of many jour
nals involves the placing of 150,000
types. Out of that number some will
be wrongly placed, in spite of the best
of care. A Pittsburgh paper made a
rather ridiculous blunder lately, and
yet there was only onelett r out of
place. The editor said, “The Legisla
ture pasted (passed) the bill over the
Governor’s head.”
Beople who arc not sure of heaven
are flocking to Danville, N. 11., tins
summer. There is not a lawyer, doc
tor, lightning-rod man, sewing machine
agent, not hotel clerk in the place
while more than four hundred beauti
ful, long haired, rosy cheeked, bright
eyed maideus, with natural teeth au 1
white dresses meander through the
streets at eventide, chewing gum and
smiling on the few young men who have
heard of this elysium before. Young
men, sell your horse pistols and go
East.
Chief Justice Chase led a very sim
i pie aud regular life. For many years
it had been his habit to rise at six
o clock in summer and seven in winter.
Before breakfast he generally took a
short walk, returning home in time to
meet his family at morning prayers,
which he always said himself when lie
was well. The b'ealefast hour was
eight o’clock, during which he either
conversed witli those around him or
1 looked over the morning papers. At
nine he was ready for his private secre
tary in the library. Here lie spent an
hour reading and dictating letters or
preparing his opinions. At ten he went
to the Capitol, generally walking, and
took his seat on the Supreme bon eh at
eleven, remaining during the whole ses
sion until 3 P. M.
The crops in England do not prom
ise well this year. A writer in the
London Times says that returns from
the different parts of the island show
that the average of land planted in
grain is much less than last year, while
the soil is in bad condition from exces
sive rains, threatening a short crop.—
More than half the grain needed for
English consumption, he anticipates,
must come from abroad. One of the
chief sources of supply is the United
States, and, so far as the abundance of
tlm supply goes, we are prepared to
scud Great Britain all she may want,
but whether it will be sent fiom this
country or not, depends on low railway
froights, and these are what the “Pat
rons of Husbandry” are trying to get
through the meeting of the “Granges”
now being held in New York.

Major Hawks was a native of Massa
chusetts, but for more than thirty years
lie had been a citizen ol Virginia, At
i the commencement of the lute . ivil war
lie entered the service of the Confedcr
-1 ate States, and upon the promotion of
I Geti. Jackson became a member of bis
satlf; commissary respectively of his
brigade, division and corps. It will be
remembered that just before the death
of Gen. Jnchson lie was heard to say
quickly, “A. P. Hill, prepare for action;
tell Major Hawks to send forward pro
visions for the troops.” Perhaps the
most comprehensive description of Maj.
Hawk’s character is embraced in the
statement that Gen. Jackson had entire
confidence in him.
