UNOIN & RECORDER. OUR AUGUSTA LETTER. Augusta, Ga., April 23rd, 1886. Editors Union Recorder: The Knights of Labor have issued circulars to the Presidents of our factories complaining of certain griev ances, and requesting a conference with their Executive Board. They «lemand among other things, the abo lition of tiie “pa^ system” the equaliza tion of wages, and the right to fill the place of a discharged employe with osie of their own members. They al so petition for a picnic on the 1st of May, and invite the presence of the several Presidents for the purpose of publicly discussing the labor question. The Factory Presidents refuse to rec ognize the Knights of Labor, but *iave addressed their employes by means of printed circulars, expressing their willingness to confer with them as such, and take into consideration grievance that they make known. On the night following the distribu tion of these circulars a large and en thusiastic meeting of the Knights of Labor was held, at which resolutions were adopted declaring that the Fac tory officials had ignored their Exec utive Board, and pledging the Knights uid employes to stand by the action of said Board. This, no doubt, is the ul timatum of the Knights. In other words it means A strike or a back down. Which will it be? For the sake of the laboring classes let us hope that it will b<* the latter. The Factories are more than will ing to close operations for several months. At present they are barely paying expenses. Last summer they were kept running at a loss to each, simply to keep their operatives from starving. When the Enterprise Fac tory was about to shut down for the want of money—when so many of its 'employees would have been thrown -out of situations—that noble hearted man, W. H. Howard supplied the means out of his private funds, and thereby saved hundreds of men, "wo men and children from actual want. These things should be remembered. The Master Workmen of the Lodge of Knights, and the Chairman of the Executive Board is a minister of the Gospel, pastor of Berean Baptist church, and supported in part as Mis sionary by the Baptist City Mission Board. He was called to that field not to stir up strife between capital and labor, but to preach the gospel of peace. His brethren regret exceed- iv the course he is pursuing, and it is thought that his case will be invest! gated by the Mission Board at its next meeting. The old Gas Company and the new Gas "Company are at war with each other. The first battle was fought before Judge Roney when the appli- 'iEtion of the new, or Mutual Gas Company, was opposed by the old, or the Augusta Company. The light was won by the Mutual, and it receiv ed its charter. The Augusta Co., has within the past week petitioned Council to grant it the exclusive right of the streets for the next twenty years. As an offset to this, the Mutual Mas offered to contract with the city Pr, fight the streets for twenty years, itve dollars per lamp cheaper than the old company* The matter is now in the hands of our City Fathers, and these honorable gentlemen are fou ndering it in the “committee of the whole.'’ 3.«st Wednesday, Maj. George 1. Jackson, convicted some months ago ,,f embezzling the funds of tlie Enter- ~->rise Factory, was conveyed by a pen itentiary guard to a convict camp in Jefferson county. He was accompa nied by bis son, Walter. Years ago no one stood higher in the estimation of the people than Geo. T. Jackson. The love of money was the root of all evil in his case. Our citizens general ly approve of the execution of the iiw, but, at the same time they have 3. profound sympathy for the unfortu nate man and his family. The Georgia Medical Association is now in session in this city. The As sociation is composed of the ablest physicians in Georgia. The present vision h»» 80 far ljeen one of the most important ever held. Many Lble papers were read and fully dis cussed by the doctors, which will re ad: in much good to the profession, t Vr. Logan read an excellent paper on • The uses and abuses of alcoholic remedies.” The argument was logi cal, scientific, and brilliant. H'e said that there had been no evidence or a single instance where the use of alco- hniie remedies had been proven neo in any case on record. 9 Foster of \ugusta moved to r - i;b pap->r to .i commitiee of old . > -ed r»h\>ieians. but rite islature. I have since learned that his friends will put him forward in the race, and I predict that he will be e- lected by a large vote. The young men are coming to the front and Georgia is safe. Houghton. Washington Letter. From Our Eegular Correspondent. Washington, April 19, 1886. The Labor troubles, the proposed Exposition in Washington, the proba ble fate of the new tariff bill, and the President’s rumored marriage are among the subjects that one hears discussed on the streets here now. At the Capitol our lawmakers are talk ing about Inter State Commerce, Se cret sessions, the fisheries question, and appropriation bills. An enthusiastic meeting was held at Willard's hotel a few evenings .since, at which representative busi ness men of Baltimore and Washing ton discussed the projected Exposi tion to be inaugurated here in 1889. An .address was presented, which is to be scattered broadcast over the coun try, setting forth the plan of the great World’s Fair. Congress is to be asked to establish a number of permanent Exhibition buildings in the city on the Mall, for the Products of" North, South, and Central America, and the Empire of Brazil. The Mall is that extensive area of parking extending from the Capitol to the White House, including the Smithsonian, Agricultu ral, and Monument grounds. It is the intention to strip the pro ject of all local purpose, and to make it national and international, politics being ignored in the interests of all countries. For instance, it is suggest ed that a building be erected for the display of working models in the in terest of inventors, and that there shall be a national art gallery sustain ed not only by the Government, but popularized by bequests from private individuals. It is expected that one and perhaps both Houses of Congress w r ill take some favorable action on the subject this week. As to Senators and their secrets, those who have in the debate branded the secret sessions as farcical, childish, cowardly, and treacherous, are Piatt, Logan, Butler and Riddleberger. Senator Logan was wondering how executive secrets leaked out. News paper men always got them in some way. Senator Riddleberger gave Jiis idea of how they were exposed. “I have a private secretary,” said he: “I walk down the avenue with him, he asks me a question or two, and being smarter than I am, he knows more in five minutes than I learn in a week. Then he gives it to somebody else and the news paper fraternity gets it.” Hon. Mr. Whitthorne, who has been appointed to succeed Judge Jackson in the JJ. S. Senate, will need no in troduction to the halls of Congress. He served with distinction in the low er House during the Forty-Fourth, Forty-Fifth, Forty-Sixth and Forty- Seventh Congresses. As chairman of Naval Affairs Committee he was very earnest and successful in exposing the rascalities of the Navy Department under Grant and ex-Secretary Robe son. There has been great improvement in the ways of doing business in the Government Departments here under the new regime, and there are eviden ces of new life. Still further reforms are looked for through the passage of a bill that is exciting a good deal of interest. It provides for a reclassifi cation and reorganization of the civil service at Washington, and its pur pose is to so arrange the force of the Departments that the same kind of work will receive the same pay. Un der the present plan there are clerks drawing $720 to $840 who are doing the same work in regard to quality and amount as clerks who get from $1,200 to $1,600 a year. The last classification was made in 1854 when there were only 719 clerks in the departments, now there are 8,031. Under this arrangement there are four classes—class 1, receiving $1,- 200: class 2, $1,400: class 3, $1,600, and class 4, $1,800. Clerks have been em ployed and assigned to these classes with but little regard to their grade. Consequently there is a great deal of waste to the tax payers in the Depart ments. But as there is no fixed lim it to the revenues of the Government and the burdens of the tax-payers, the waste is not perceived. While the new Administration is setting the Governmental house in order, it pro- poses to.suIvied the men and women employed here to a thorough investi gallon wved out a" id re tribute t.1 it able them to do th anti best kind o f •" are rapabie. i.e incompetent, tii rs so ab to en- •r< at<°st amount <>f which 1: W1 lie table.

Work on Eatonton's new hotel was begun on Monday', 19th. Corn is beginning to look better since the warm weather set in. It is claimed that 12,000 Northern ers went to Thomasville the past sea 8 °It is published that President Cleve land in June will marry Miss Frances Folsom, of Buffalo, N. The Greensboro Home Journal and the Eatonton Messenger are opposing the return of Hon. Seaborn Reese to Congress. At Rome, Tuesday, Julius Ward, who was found guilty last week of voluntary manslaughter, -was senten ced to seven years in the peniten tiary. The Commissioners appointed by Governor McDaniel to select a loca tion for the Technological School, we learn have met and agreed to locate it in the place which offers the most valuable inducement. The resignation of Mr. Joseph Pu litzer from Congress, where he repre sented the Ninth District of New York Citv, grew out of his conviction that he could not edit his paper, the New York Y/orld, and sit in Congress at the same time. The Atlanta Constitution says: “If, as seems probable, ex-Congressmau Tete Smith should consent to take a seat in the next Senate of Georgia, he would occupy a distinguished position. Mr. Smith is one of the men whose name is known all over the State, and whose career would be watched with friendly interest.” ‘Squire Dickson, of Clayton, was awakened just after midnight on Fri day night and asked to hurry down and marry a waiting couple. He hur ried down and fonnd that Jeptha Lit tleton, aged 82, and Mrs. Ruthy Ann Thompson, aged 75, had eloped from their children and wanted to be mar ried at once. They were accomodat ed. The election on the prohibition question came off in Dooly county last week and resulted in the success of the wet ticket by a majority of sev en votes. The defeated party how ever immediately gave notice of their intention to contest the election and we shall be greatly surprised if, on re jecting all the illegal votes, the result is not changed. Prohibition Wins in Newton.— Covington, April 22.—Prohibition carried this county to-day by sixty- three majority. Returns from all the precincts have been received, with the above result. The city district gave 113 majority “for the sale.” The day passed off without any dis order whatever. Within the last hour whisky has advanced two dol lars on the gallon.—Macon Telegraph. The Atlanta Capitol, referring to an objection made by an exchange to General Gordon for Governor, on ac count of the manner of his resignation of his seat in the Senate, says: “In such a contest Senators Brown and Colquitt, who are both interested in the issue, would be necessarily driven to his aid, and would rally a strong following and give powerful arH effec tive co-operation,V And the q/eningf News, like the Rome Courier, has not the least doubt about that. Resurrected From Death.— Last week an incident occurred in this county, the results of which are rather remarkable. Mrs. Burwell Akin missed her little girl, and after searching some time found her in a tub of water dead. This was some time in the afternoon. The body of the little one was taken out and car ried in the house, and after night came on life asserted its sway, to the joy of the parents. Our informant states that she was quite ill on Sun day and may yet die from the effects of being in the water so long. An other warning against keeping tubs or vessels of any kind standing with water in them about where little chil dren can get into them.—Barnesville Gazette. The present senior class of Emory College numbers thirty-nine members, representing ten States of the Union. Eleven will enter the ministry, nine will practice the Jaw, four will go into mercantile life, four will teach, three will engage in farming, while dentis try, the drug-business, civil engineer ing, stenography, music, journalism will have each one representative from the class. Of the candidates for the ministry one has signified Iiis in tention of going to China as a mis sionary. This is certainly a. good showing. Few institutions in Fie coun try can show a more useful \lumni. bong may it live and yvesper.— . rceusboro Home Journal. ig SUCH ranks w-i-Jr the ablest of Georgia physicians and will keep the Association up to ts high standard. The Planters Hotel presented a i vely appearance last evening, when he association gathered to enjoy the banquet spread by the Augusta Com mittee. The doctors made speeches, feasted upon the good things, and drank—coffee and lemonade. The lo- ■val committee were congratulated on all sides upon the success of the ban quet. ' To-day is Good Friday. Services a-e being held in the Catholic, Episco- >alian, and Luthren churches. Why do not all Denominations recognize ^his day and Easter? i)r. Ellis, the brilliant pulpit orator, 0 f Baltimore, will address the Ladies Missionary Society of the 1st Baptist church, week after next. I have Beard Beecher, Talmage, and Ellis, and in my opinion, the latter is the ablest and most eloquent of the three. Our citizens certainly have a treat in <tore for them. When writing of Mr. Chs. Z. Mc- r , ord i n my last, I did not know that would be a candidate for the Leg- iUCIU- ln*ve worjvt-d since oec&me a Congress man,” said lie, “than ever before in my life. I get to work every day that I am in Washington at eight o’clock in the morning, and 1 seldom get to bed before midnight, and my work is not quite done then."
