It is reported that eight hundred filibusters landed at Cochonos De? cember 18. It is also reported that there are eighteen hundred troops at Santiago sur? rounded by ten thousand insurgents. Several jars of strychnine were among the baggage of the insurgents which was captured at Moran. General LaTorre sailed on Friday with troops for Santiago. Tho cholera has appeared among a body of six hundred government ? troops besieged at Manzanillo. The disease was caused by the bad quality of the rations. The accouots of the battle ef Moran are alto? gether contradictory. WASHINGTON. HOW THE PRESIDER'S AMNESTY PROCLAMATION IS RECEIVED-ITS ?FFECT UPON MR. DAVIS mia) CONFEDERATES INQUIRING AS TO THE PROTECTION IT AFFORD3-GRANT DETERMINED ON AN HONEST ADMINISTRATION OF THE GOV? ERNMENT. WASHINGTON, December 28.-Tho amnesty proclamation of President Johnsons received approvingly by nearly all classes save some rabid hatera of tho Southern people, who go so far as to threaten Mr. Johnson with impeach? ment because of what they term" bis impu? dence in preventing their indulgence in '?'en? geance. All enlightened persons admit, of course, that tho proclamation releases Mr. Davis and others who were engaged in the war from further accountability on the charge of treason. The Ropublicans claim that under the Fourteenth article of the constitution Mr. Davis and others aro under disabilities and cannot be relrased therefrom except by a two thir is vote of Congress. The Democrats argue that under the constitution the amnesty pro? clamation restores political offenders to all the rights, privileges ani immunities of citizens of the United States. A number of distinguished persons have called upon the President to congratulate and thank him for his proclamation, and approve the happy selection of Christmas day for its promulgation. Among those wha called were soveial members of the Cabinet, judges of tho Supreme Court, Congressmen, Genoral Blair, and many private citizens. Mr. Davis is urged to surrender himself again to imprisonment in ordor that he may bs brought before tho Supreme Court by habeas corpus, to test fully the effect of thc Presi? dent's amnesty. It is stated that Mason, Slided, Benjamin and Breckinridgo have all mad9 inquiry regarding the exact nature of the protection which the amnesty affords. A delegation of negroes is hero from Geor? gia for tho purpose of protesting against tho aduTisBton of the senators from that State at this time. A dispatch sent heneo says that General Grant is determined to root out tho whiskey, railroal aud other riags, oven if he has to Hil every civil office from the army or navy. He will leave here oa Wednesday and be absout a week. Mcculloch has returned. Butler is preparing a speech" against thc re? sumption of specie payments. A wLzaaacxxr WAZZ-STREET. Vanderbilt's Last .Hove, and flow it was Accomplishes. The well-informed New York correspondent . of the Philadelphia Ledger writes, under date of the 23d instant : Soma curious revelations are coming out con? cerning the recent oporation? in Now York Central, showing what a handsome thing the Saturday-night-at-eleven-o'cloclt dividend turn? ed out for those who were in tho secret, and unew how to keep that secret. As tho story goes, then, Commodore Van? derbilt, his two sous-in-law. Horac9 F. Clark, George Osgood, and some of tho rost of his immediate family connections, wore, on the morning of that day, ownois of some fifteon million dollars worth of stock-that is, about one-half ef the entire capital stock, which had been selling during the day at $133 tl3i. Furthermore, a well known Broadway dry goods merchant was the lucky holder *bf at least ten thousand shares, and a promine.it Democratic politician and Wall-street specula? tor, nearly related to Mr. Aug. Schell, happen? ed to have bought ' calla" threo or four days previously at various ligures, costing him from $25,000 to $SO,000. Tho rise in the etock after that clever Saturday night's work thus enabled the?e several parties to bag from twenty to thirty per cent, profit. The readers can figure it up ia dollars and cents for themselves. The directors generally, it is said, had not much stock on hand at the limo, aud naturally enough they feel very bad at havimr thus been left out in the cold. The ?-.ext time thc Central has a dividend to declare, they say they will bc much obliged to tho ComjuoJoro if ho will but give them notico of the luci. PASSPORTS FOR AMERICANS.-Tho following letter, elating to tho necessity of Amoricaus taking out passports when going abroad, has been sent in answers to inquiries from New York: DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON DECEM?

Thc Gathering-Spo.t on thc First anti Second Days-A Happy Party-Thc La? dies on tho Coarse-Interest of thc .Freed People In tlic Kaces-The Con? cluding Festivities, -with some ac? count of the Participants. [FBOM AX OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDEN!.] BARNWELL COOBTHOUSE, December 17.-We ore not quite dead hero, and there has been a fine morning's sport on tho first day ot' the races of tho Barnwell Jockey Club. The weather was beautiful-rather cool-but tbe bright suushino and pretty women warm? ed every heart and tba race course. Though rather an impromptu affair, it was quite an ani? mated scene. The first race wa3 milo boats. Tho horses entered wore General Hagood'a sorrel mare. Saluda, wno rau uudcr Miss ?5. A-h's colors, aud Ur. Angus Faust's chestnut horse, John Morgan, under Mrs. E. D-y's colors. Both auimals appeared in excellent condition when stripped for the race, and Rood spart was anticipate L The horses got off well together, and for more than half a mile contested the race galiautly, when tho mare bolted (because a rider on a a gray horse came np suddenly.) It seemed as if the"horse would have it all bia own way; but tho rider of tho maro turned her, after tho bolt, brought her into the track at tho point sbo bolted, anti with good riding and a hue burst of speed, rushed her in beyond the dis? tance stand beforo tho flap: fell. The rider who rode thc horse, hearing thc mare thunder ins; behind him, seemed to lose b:s head, and although be had won thc heat, urged bis horse al?os alter he had passed the winning post and ran him, undera strain, full a hali mile beyond; then recollecting himself be took up anti dis? mounted before returning to tho stand. Ac coidiDg to the rules of tbe turf, this ruled him out ot the race. The maro galloped over the second mile and took tho purse. The next race was a single dish of a mile. For this thero were two entries, Mr. H. \V. Richardson's chestnut horse Agate, and Mr. Jem Dimond's roan horse, Kirk. This race 'was beautiful; both bersos got off well, and from starting to winning post, contested every inch of ground. It was a line trial ol skill and speed; the horses wero well riddcu, and it was a sharp contest from tho word go until tho fl tg fell. The chestnut won by two lengths, but the gallant roan lost no reputation m tho glory of the beautiful Agate. Tho nest race was a quarter stretch between General Hagood'a Joo Alica and Mr. P. P. Brown's Hector. This was a pretty burst of speed and well contested; short and awoct. Joe beat Hector a length. To 6ee the young pt opio tura out in their poverty to have a day's sport was a pleasant Eight. Some of the young fellows wlio hayo gone to work manfully to make cotton bat! rino turnouts, but generally tho conveyauces wero carriages, wagons and buggies, drawn by mute?; yet I doubt much if thete has bcoa ? happier party, prettier girls, moro dashing young fellows, and a bettor day's sport any? where since tho war. Among the handsome women, we observed tho clogaut and accom? plished Mrs. C- D-y, of Augusta, who rodo npou the field well mounted, controlling her horse with thc cuso and graco of a prac? ticed equestrienne and well-bred woniao. S'ie was escorted by Mr. A-A-h, a tail grena? dier, who rode Iiis uorso like an Arab. We ob? served, also, with real pleasure, the charming? ly popular Misses M-n and T-1, of Charleston; Miss H-d, of Blackville, and Miss B-r, another interesting rcpresen tivo of Augusta-all lendiug light and beauty to tho occasion, lt was a pleasant sight and I wished moro ot our linc women and handsome g ris could afford a mount, to maka tho scoue even moro cheerful anti gay than it was. I have said nothing about our Barnwoll girls, because when all are so well doserving of praise it would bo invidious to single out any ; their graco an J beauty is proverbial. Too much praise can not be award? ed to tho gentlemen who bavo revived tho Barnwell Jockey Club for the amusement ol tho day and what we have in prospect to-niorrow. If I have time and am in tho humor 1 will send vou a 8kotch ot the sport. To-morrow, Littlo Ella. who lias been transferred by Colonel R-o, cf Charleston, to General Hagood, will excito mue? filterest for ber pedigree. I hoar bots on ber against the field. She is not in good condition, however, and may disappoint her backers, having bcou taken in baud too late. SUiniAEY-FISST DAV. Mil: ?feats. General Haloed, names s. f.

Tho entries wero Mr. ll. W. Rich? ardson's Agate, Mr. Angiu Faust 's John Mor? gan, and General Hagood'a Little Ella. Thc latter was evidently not in condition; she looked as if she liai not becu handled suffi? ciently and w:ts comparatively rough. Tho start was a good o.io. Ibo horses bains well in Imo, whou the word i;go'' waa giren. By acci? dent John Morgan did not ge: off, Lil tlo Ella and Aprato spmncr forward, but tho V/ord ?'..a shouted to come back. Aguie took up. Linie EUa ran through. This was a sad misfortune to thc mare, aa silo waa not in condition and the ruu told against her. Ailer some consul? tation, in whicii much time was lost, the jud? ges decided it was uo heat aud the holies wero ordered again to lbj starting post. This time L'.cy all got off woli together, and ran in a heap, Agato ahead, which bo k?.pl throughout, aud won tho boat in line style. Thc second heat was run and won by Agate, who took die purse. The Charleston t:ag ran well, but ?ko was rut iu nader disadvantage, and while she did not win thc money, lost no reputation. The Horgan mado ? good raco, but wasnot quito fast enough. Tho next race was a dash of a half mile, be? tween Ku-Klux, entered by Mr. Ben Martin, aud Belvidere, entered by lit. Roheit Ashley. This was a very pretty race. Belvidere was very restive and spiteful; Ku-Kiux was as quiet as a lamb. Tho horses got off veil, aud utter a sharp contest the raco was won hy Ku-Klux. There was a third raco, a dash of ? hall milo, between Mr. Fausta Upstart, Mr. P. Brown's Mero and Mr. Bon Martin's Faouic. Fannie bolted. . The race was handsomely won bv Upstart. The diy was calm, bright and beautiful. There was a tine turn out and everybody seem? ed to enjoy themselves to thc utmost." There was no gambling booths or drinking stands on the course, and the quiet and order was per? fect. A notable feature was tho presence of tho frocd people, who seemed to onjoy Hie sport as much, if not more, tb-'.ii too whits folk. It was pleasant to see with what propriety and order they conducted themselves, and how kind and genial seemed the iulorconrsa be? tween the negroes and their old misters. Ti looked quite like old times, ;:s every ti>. and then sonic family servant would step u;i aud respectfully s iv, "Alastor, what horca do yon think will win? I want to mike a Oct." And when the heat was over, how they v oull shout and laugh as the horse tbry bari bet on came out ahead. I was pleased to sec thc graceful figure of Colonel T-y, ot Walterboro', moving about thc track, winning a cordial emile from tho' ladies as he pleasantly addressed them, and a hearty welcome from thc gentlemen.

Instead of the annual Jockey Club ball, which (for reasons unavoidable) could not be given, the Turf festivities terminated this year most delightfully in a private party given by Mrs. E-n H--d, tho most charming of hostesses, ever ready to advance thc enjoy? ment ot the young people. Had tho ball suc? ceeded 1 am sure it could not have been moro enjoyed than tho social gathering of this eve? nki g*. Fresh from thc excitement of tho track, tho ladies ;-nd their escorts entered with all tho 6o/i esprit of our Southern youth into thc plea? sures of thc dance. 1 must do more than simply say tho party was pleasant, for it would bo selfish aud unjust to'.keep all to myself," the softly tinted pic? ture which that fun-loving crowd presented to my view. 1 will do my best to describo it, but I fear it is too bright for the word-paiDting of aa elderly lady, who has, "lo ! these many years," hid away illusions of all kinds, crape, satins and crush roses in dust covered tiunks. Nevertheless, 1 will make the attempt. First, my loveliest of little friends, the fair >oung hostess of tho party, Miss F-y F-d. How shall I ever describe that match? less wealth of ha r (it was all her own) which fell in clusters around tho snowy throat, re? calling to every eyo which has ever gazed upon the wonderful "bead of the Beatrice, that gor? geous hue which only the portraits of tho old masters exhibit ? Older hearts and wiser heads have boen turned by lesser ra? diance than this maiden's, whoso spirituelle face only reflects her guileless character. Tho contrast between her cousin and herself, Miss S-c B-r, of Augusta, only increased tho charms of each domoisclle. Miss B-, thc brightest ot brunettes, well understands tho effects of coleur de rose on a lisso.no figure. As sho passed near me I silently admired tho rivalry between the pink on her cheek and tho pink on her form. Miss S-a M-n, of Charleston, who in days past a:.d gouo was welcomed by tho 'gudo folk" of our village, received tho same greeting her sunny smile and charming address will always command. Miss ii-1 T-1, also of Charleston, repre? sented thc "City by the Sea," ontraticinrrly. Mrs. D-v, of Augusta, having regained nor usual vivacity, cheered the hearts ot her many admirers by her reappearance. The elegant moire antique and exquisite shimmering blue, with its rich trimming of cherry, was uideod truly becoming to the petito figure of Madam. alias I-n, of Aiken, would have made her father's heart feel proud, aud ber mother's hps smilo, could they have seor how universally their daughter's dovc-tiko eyes stolo into tho hearts ot tho assembly. I hesitate whon I ?ndcavor to do justice to the individual grace and beauty of tue E.iru well fair sex. . How can I soleot when they all looked so lovely, and deported themselves so like well-bred women, as they ever do V What shall I sav of the glorious black oyes of Miss J-a B--z ; of Miss M-y ll-u, tho sprightliest and always in tho dance ; of Miss Y-a ll-y,' who, although not dancing, had ever "around her a cuarmed circle; or of her companion of thc oveniug, Miss J-a B-n, whoso attire was most be? comingly finished by tho jauntiest little crim? son bodice ever worn? Miss A-a A-li, who raniinds mo invariably of a snow drop, loo-ked unusually like ono, us she elided into the room in a dross ol lite loveliest tireen. Miss E-a O-s, although a timid httlo maiden, is self-possessed and talks with a dignity many debutantes might envy. Last, Out not least ly any means, let mo mention tho Misses M-y nut! It-a A-h, known by their friends as "tho roso buds." Cur Barnwell gent lernen appeared as in ibu "olden limo," handsomely dressed and willi polished man? ners, convincing mo that thc war did no harm either to their cultivation or their refine? ment. Besides our own townsmen, I noticed many gentlemen from Allandale. I venturo to say tho Charleston and Augusta girls will ad? mit that they reaped as much real pleasure from dancing to the music made by our local band as they ever di 1 at homo. Ihe next evening 1 spent in a small reunion at thc residence of Judgo A-li, for tho pu ? li?se of welcoming to our midst .Miss 1?- y T-r, of Fort Motto, formerly of Charleston; and ? must not fail to note tho general cuj'v. ment of ?his young lady's music. Itfeccuied that that voice, although not "tenor," ni^ht "sootho thc souls in purgatory,-' ns tho fairy notes of II Bacio swelled '. lour ?ind brilliant ou thc car of her enraptured audience. But 1 lias'o ?'?ready trespassed too much on your space wi li this coconut of as fair a scene of graco ?um beauly as has caii^od my old oj cs to brighieti for many a day. OCCASION AL. it t' s o ult caa or SPA I: TAXJ? UH a. Climate and Soil-Thc Products- .Manu? facturing Power-Tlic iVcvv Kailroaus Educat?onal Institution. Wo find in the Pheonix a lotter describing the condition, resources ard natural advanta? ges ol Spartaiibarg County, Ironi which wc uiaivo sonio extracts: This is known as ono of tho monnta in conn' ios of thc State, hom its proximity tho niuo Badge range. And though there is no mountain within tho area ot th. county, it possesses tho clear sparkling waler, the fresh balmy air, ?v., peculiar to thu mount.lin slope?. ?'iioro ia ?lot, perhaps, on carib, a spot ?noto conducive to physical rigor and long? vitytlra iSpartanburg. Tho streams, naturally frosh and pure, move rapidly away, so that there aro no stagnant poo.s, producing miasma and croa ting lovers. The Boil of Sparta libin g is free ro yield all kinds of produce congenial to a mild aud temper ito ohmate. Corn, cot? ton, wheat, rye, eats, sorghum, Irish and sweet potatoes, poa.s, and, indeed, all ihe cereals, vegetables and fruits that i he wants of the peo? ple demand, arc grown lo perfection in this county. As to tho amount of ouc or all of these that can be grown per acre, depends, as in other countries, greatly upon thc seasons, manner ot euiture, ?fcc. At tim price I he arti? cle al present commands, lhere is perhaps as much net profit in thc culture of colton as in any of thc articles of produce enumerated. A large portion of thc soil in Spartanburg is, perhaps, better calculated to retain manures lhau ?my in tho State, owing to its red, stiff foundation. Whilst manures applied to gray, porous soils, appear to exhaust, with thc growth of our crops, thc effects ol' tho same amount applied to tito red lands may be dis? tinctly KO?U for three, four and cv m tor (ive years. Whilst til is county is second to none in thc State in tho inducements it oilers to the agri? culturist, it is pre-cittiiicutly adapted to matiu facturing operations, i doubt not. there is a greater amount of undeveloped water power in Spartanburg than in any district on.bracing thc same area in thc United Slates. There is, to-day, on the ?norec Uiver, alone, in (Ins eoatiiy, enough of undeveloped water power, which, if brought into active play upon ma ruiuory, wo lld give employment to ten thou? sand operatives. Toe Ettorce, the Xygers, Lawson's Fork, Fair Forest, and tho l*.:? >. lets, together with ot lier smaller, tributary i streams, all furnish tho most abundant i'l ciii'.ics lor d ri vulg thc heaviest inachiu- | cry. And then, mose very desirable loca- i tiona eau, in many iustauccs, bc purchased j at merely nominal sut?s, simply from tho fact Unit prior to the war ino people ol' this coun? ty looked solely lo ot'.er (iuris of the woild loi manufactured goods, preferring themselves to tili the soi!; while now, their fortunes aro gone, and they have not the means tu bestow thc attention to these fine locations which their merits demand. Thc important fact, also, must not bo overlooked, that Spartan? burg County will, at no very distant day, le second lo no inland county in the Stale with regard to her railroad communications. Vu.y many of theso fine water powers arc in close proximity to the Spartanburg ?md Union Rail? road, which is in su'jccsstul operation as lar west as Spartanbmg C. H. Thc famous Air Lino Railroad, the completion of which is now beyond a doubt, is projected to pass directly through the centre of the county. Beside this, it is hoped the good sense of the pooplo of thc State will, at no dis? tant day, be directed to tho extension of tko Spartanburg and Union Itailroad through tho mountain passes to Asheville, N. C., thus sc ctriiig au outlet to thc great .Northwest, eo long desired by tho entire people, not only of South Carolina, but by tho citizens of Tennes? see, Kentucky and Ohio. It is intimated that the road cia" Asboville could be built, and the desired connection formed, in one-half the time, and with one-half the money required to completo the Blue Ridgo Road. Added to all this, it is to be observed that tho educational advantages afforded in Spar tanburg aro not to bo surpassed in the South. Tho Wofford College, ono of the first-class in? stitutions of tho United States; the Roictville institution; tho Limostonc Springs Female College, with malo seminary attached (all lo? cated in this county), are all in a prosperous condition, and iurnish the menns for tho most thorough and completo education to both males and females. 'Ike peoplo are high-toned and honorablo, society exalted aud refined, and the community comparatively free from politi? cal carpet-baggers and other disturbers of the pubhc peace. Ic is to a country like this that we would ex? tend the hand of welcome to tho honest and enterprising, ffom whatever source they may come. A GENEROUS REQUEST. Thc Wm of thc Late Thomas C.

Thrilling Scenes-Painful Incidents Hairbreadth Escapes. Our English files coataiu a full account of thclos8of the steamer Hibernia, seven hun? dred miles from tho Irish coast, horetofore an? nounced briefly by the cable. Certain passen? gers who escaped in tho Captain's boat say that at two o'clock on tho morning of Tuesday, tho 24th ult., they were awakened by a crash. Some went te tho cabin, and tho Captain met them and assured them there was no danger. Having confidonco ?H him they went to be d. As the Captain did net appear at breakfast, however, suspicion was awakened, and short ly afterwards ho told them to get ready to go into tho lifo boats. The crew, meanwhile, were working at the pumps. The gale kept OB in? creasing, and the water in the ship gradually rose. When first informed of tho danger in which they were placed, the passengers manifested some excitamont. They all felt dopressod. and those who could weep wept; but as the day wore on the excitement ?radually subsided, and during the night of Tuesday it had alto? gether disappeared. All were porfectly quiot that night and one or two even slept. They all had confidence in Captain Munro-bc was so colloctcd and managed so woll. He fre? quently came int? the cabin and spoke a cheer? ing word to everybody. About four o'clock on Wednesuay morning* it was determined that thc b .ats should bo launched. Owing to thc high sea this work was accomplished with eome difficulty, hut fortunaloly they were all git down at last. Previous ta launching No. 1 boat tho Captain came to the cabin and told tho lucVcfj to como oa deck. The water was then ankle deep in thc saloon. All the lady cabin passengers wont to thc front of the ves? sel. There was no hurrying and crushing. The boats were tillod in thc most orderly way, each when it had received its complement shoving off to give place to the next boat. Ono old woman sturdily rcl'tisod to leave the ship, being determined not to leave her huahnnd. but she waa put on board of tho lifeboat by force. She screamed loudly while being lot down into tho boat. When tho last passenger had been got off, Captain Munro, with thc chief cigineer, came off in tho Inst boat. Tho pas sougers describe tho capsizing of one boat, and the labor of tko crew in tho Captain's boat in bailing out tho water undor the encourage? ment of tho Captain. At 7} on \Vedncsday night there w.i3 a great cry or "A sail, a sail I' Thu Captain ordered lights to bo put up, and told all th J passengers to shout for thoir lives. Ali shouted luitily, and un answer was*rcturu cd from tho Star bf Hope. Hr. Coe!:?, Sa? Francisco, furnished tho fol? lowing statement : "The weather on Tuesday, tho 24th, was very stormy, and a high sea was running. Whonitwas l'ouud that there was ?\o hope of saving tho vessol five boats were launched, aud filled with tho passengers and crew, uuder the superintendence of the Cap? tain, who throughout displayed thc greatest coolness and intrepidity. Tho whole of thc passengers felt fully persuaded that had it not been for Hie coolness and bravery of the Cap? tain, who was thc last to leave tho ship, they would havo Josi their lives. Tho five boats had only left Ibo ship about fifteen uihutcs when she wont down, stern foremost. I was in thc Captain's boat, in which there were, in all, thirty-three persous. "Shortly aft' r the ship went down, wo saw tho chief mate's boat suddenly capsize, but could render no assistance, as our boat was in a sinking condition and overloaded at the time. It was an awful sight to see sonic of those wiri had been in thc mate's boat struggling iu Ihe water, and other's clinging to the boat's keel, and yet be unable to render any assis? tance. I think that after a timo Lhc bjat was righted and a few of tho passengers succeeded in getting iu, but I could not see how many. "\Ve parted company with tho other boats, and alter drifting about for about fourteen boura, * heavy soe. running at tho limo. Ibo seamen constantly batting, we wore picked up by Ino Star of nope; and I cannot give too much praise to Captain Talbot and tho other officers of the ship for their very groat courtesy and kindness. Tho Star of if apo also ajeked up the boatswain's boat, in which there wore nine? teen persons, miking, I think, a total saved of fifty-two persons." Tnt: [Ua-l'iCKCBs OF NEW YOBS.-At a meet? ing of tho Working Women's Association of New York, on Monday evening last, 3iis. Nor? ton, chairman of a committee of investiga? tion into thc condition, habit?, labor and earn? ings ot tho rag-pickers iu the metropolis, pre? sented quite au interesting report : ?ibo said that tho mero collection of rags ioinis kal a part ot the business of tkc?cchil tonnicra. They not only pass these into their bags, but p'ck up bones, pieces ot glass, old iron, bootu, shoes, scraps of leather-all ure equally valuable. Atter tuc rag-picker lias filled his bag or basket, and olten his hat and pockets, he goes homo and assorts his wares, and Iben sometimes makes ano!her round. The labors begin UBUIII ly at three or lour o'clock in thc morning. Some muk ; their rounds in the middle of the night, starting at len o'clock. About Gue or two in the allernoon ?ic gets home. Thc different articles aro placed in different re? ceptacles and left lhere to accumulate until the dealer comes around. Thc prico paid to thc rag-picker foi paper and rags is throe cents per pound ; ttlass ono cent a pound; for bones, scraps ol' bread and other garbage, fifty cents a bushel; leather, boots audshooj arc bargained tor. They earn from forty cents a day to ten dollars a week. In this, as well as in every? thing else, tlu re are grades of workmen-some living as well as other workmen and some from band to month. They resent every iufringc luuut of their vocation. Tho large majority of these :,r<: Germans, who, coming otu here poor, aro compeded to accept this way of liv? ing.
