The Action of the Employer? and Work? men-A Word on Strikes-The Other View of the Question. The derangement o? labor caused by the eight-hour agitation in New York and at other points continues to excite general remark; but lt ls alleged by the New York papers that the j disposition now ls to accept the action of the employers on Tuesday night as the turning of the tide. That action was by the employers of all branches resolving that they would reject the eight-hour system, accept ten hours only as a day's work, and bold out to the bitter end. In some trades, though, it is Kr.own the eight-hour rule has been conceded I . to, and in others the demand for Increased ! wages granted. The following history of tb,e j character and progress of the strikes contains 1 many interesting facts, some Indeed that are I j really surprising as to the amount of moneyed .?support afforded by combinations of other ; workmen abroad as well as at home. The I / reflemlon cannot but be suggested thereby that the same amounts of capital applied by I the workmen in starting co-operative estab-1 V Hshments o? their own, In which they would I I take to themselves all the profits of their j labor, would be a much more economic thing I than this unproductive consumption while labor ls suspended. The Herald relates as follows: Seven weeks ago the Journeymen painters I of New York demanded of their employers the adoption o? the eight hour system, without any decrease In the existing rate of pay tor a I da.7'8 work. The employers resisted the de-1 maud, and the men struck. Their example waa speedily followed by the carpenter?, bricklayers, plasterers, masons and others in the building business, and the strike gradually spread, until lt embraced nearly every trade and calling lu the city. The German cabinet makers formed an eight hour league, and, as they bad command of a large amount of I money, they managed to draw a vast number I of men into the movement, although their I Organization lacked energy aud ability to head a general rising. The strikers met with vary lng fortune. The carpenters, masons, painters, bricklayers and plasterers succeeded, and re turned to work nnder the eighth-hour system. The pianoforte-makers and coachmakers-gave I way before the firmness of their employers, I and abandoned the strike. A large number of trades remained in the movement, but the | ; prospect lor a general concession of their de-11 mana did not look very promising until about I ; two weeks ago, when the iron and metal work-1, era took the field. Mainly through the efforts of J i one mau, who commenced by getting small I croups of workmen together and talking over I : the matter, ibis new element lu the I movement grew with wonderful rapidity. I Agents were sent out among the iron I m?n all over the State o? New York I, aud all along the line of the Brie rall-1 way lito other States, organizing strikes, and . , the euect ot the energy o? the leaders soon made itself apparent. To-day the Iron and I ? Metal Workers' Elgbt-bour League numbers over ten thousand enrolled members. It has been Joined by a branch ot the English Society of Steam Engineers, a branch of the Interna-1, donal Machinists' and Blacksmiths' Society, I, and other foreign organizations. The Amal-1 gamated Society of Engineers of England have paid hali a million o? dollars to the credit of I, the "League tor the nse and benefit of the j , strikers; the International Machinists and Blacksmiths have subscribed one hundred . thousand dollars for the same purpose, and | other European societies have followed with smaller donations. To-day this Ironwovkers' Leagne bas a capital of three-quarters or a million dollars and a weekly income from sub? scriptions ol their own men who are working.!1 on the elght-honr principle, and from other 11 societies, reaching seven thousand dollars. I ' The leaders declare that the strike is now self supporting- that is to say, that they have I fonds enough to take care of all the men who may quit work. The consequence Is that the | movement is spreading In all directions, anew I ? impulse has been given to the strike In every 11 trade, and the trouble already experienced I seriously in some quarters is likely to extend 11 to' the railroads and Into every manufacturing district. i Such was the history np to the action of the New York employers on Tuesday even- j ing. That action is now extensively canvass-11 ed at the different meetings of the working mee, and forms the prevailing topic ot con-1 venation in business circles ther- disturbed by the strike. The employers thought a blow had been given, which, for the present at r least, will |defeat the elgbt-bour movement. I Thejfctrlkers, on the other hand, seem not en tl rely disappointed, but aver that, together I with the relief afforded by the Eight-Hour League and that contributed ,by the workmen I , who have obtained their demands and are I : now at work, they will be enabled to bold 11 out as long as the employers. The latter who I, sign the resolutions In New York are some.]! three hundred in number. Including leading 11 manufacturers, who are said, with others who I ! agree with them, lo employ in ordinary times I ' some forty-five thousand operatives, and one I : of their resolutions is as lo Ho ws : Resolved, That we will not hereafter retain ' In our employment any workman guilty of I. any act loosing to the arbitrary establishment ot relations between the employer and em- I ployed; and In conclusion, we earnestly call upon our mechanics individually to exercise their own good sense In the present emer-1 gency, and to avoid evil counsels. That we will hereat ter pay our workmen by the hour, a nd employ such as are willing to work ten hours per day, and we will close our establishments if necessary, and keep them closed until wal can employ workmen on this basis. The "Trades Unions,'' societies and leagues, so called, have, by their unreasonable and arbl- I trary demands, done much to disturb the rela Hons between employer and employed, by forming combinations to secure the same rate of compensation for inferior as lor superior workmen, by dictating to employers the con dillons under which they will be permitted to conduct their business, in some cases lmpos lng heavy flues on such employers SB Infringe the regulations laid down by their workmen, and we consider such tyranny incompatible i witti the best Interests of both. A WORD ON STRIKES. Ther* is much to be Bald, however, at this clay, and in the light of Its Intelligence, on I this whole subject of labor. The annexed temperate and comprehensive article from the j New York Post ls, therefore, worthy to be j read: The tone ot a portion of the press in relation to the strike ie, we think, to be earnestly dep-1 recated. We hope and believe that the larger number of the men engaged in these attempts to better their condition are moved by a de sire to correct by rational means, and without resort to turbulence or force, what they hold io be an Injustice done them In the order of society. To assume the contrary to* be the I fact, and to accuse the men on strike of being always, and by choice, reckless and violent, is just trie way to make them BO; ls just the I way to depress the rational and sober portion of them, and encourage those ol the other sort, who Infest every popular movement, and who will, if possible, turn it from ii s legitimate I end. or bring lt about by illegitimate measures. Workingmen on strike, lt should be co ns hi-1 ered, are under peculiar temptations, are ex posed often lo peculiar hardshlps,and uecessa-1 rily count among themselves always a certain number of men who are ignorant, little amen able io reason, and Impatient naturally of a I slow and peaceful method of attaining what, it seems to them, can be reached by a sudden und violent effort. It ls this class which needs to be held under restraint, and which the more considerate workingmen find lt the most difficult to Influence and control. It is cruel and short-sighted to say a word that adds to i his difficulty, and it makes the Solution of a I rvoblem, which we have got to solve some-1 flbw In ibis generation, all the harder. | STILL ANOTHER VIEW. j There Is also that which cannot be disre? garded io the statement called up by the New York Bulletin, that Schultze, of Delitsch, the great labor apostle of Germany, revolution? ized the industry of his country by the sound maxim that the only means of improving the condition ol the workingman ls by increased production and increased economy of earn? ings. He so impressed his countryman with this Bound principle, that it has served them to equally good purpose in Hie Fatherland and in the home of their adoption in the United States. In this country the adoption ol this ! principle has rendered them the most indus? trious, tbrilty and prosperous portion of our foreign-born population. Hence, adds the Bulletin : It ls lolly to assume that strikes are wicked measures pushed to wicked em's by wicked men. It ls not yet absolutely settled us a moral law that men who work with their hands are only to have their daily bread, and that those who work with money are to have all the combined profit of. labor and capital. It 1B, moreover, a question becoming daily more and more complicated precisely what dally bread ls, and how much ol it the indivi? dual man and brother ought to have in his In? dividual basket. Ours is a "commercial age;" the world ls richer than it ever was before, and is richer because lt ls more intelligent. With the accumulation of riches inevitably comes up the question of their distribution a question by no means without lis difficulties, especially calling for the wisest heads for its settlement, and not at all likely to remdn set? tled any considerable time by a policeman's baton. Possibly that argument must some? times be resorted to, but tne sooner brains can be put to some better use than to be knocked out by the batons, the Booner we shall come to a rational conclusion ol the whole BU rj oct. If things are right Just as they are, lt will not be un easy task to prove (hat to the majority in the world, who have begun to doubt ll, and it is braius, not batons, that, they will submit to. The sooner we begin to be rational the belter. To the German workmen the idea of im? proving their condiiion by ntandlng idle must appear a self-evident absurdity. It ls contrary to all their habits and tendencies. They know beforehand that an enforced or voluntary Idle? ness ot a lew weeks will entail on them a loss that cannot be compensated by a year's Indus? try, even under the attainments ol ihe objects of the strike. The suspension ol' loc?me and the sure outgo for rent, food, and other neces? sary expenses of living, are definite and posi? tive losses that can hardly be counterbalanced by the doubtful adVPitages promised by the trades unions. The New York Journal cr "Amerce says : Nobody, however, can esca, ? from the cost? ly consequences ot tue strikes which have been goinc on here now for nearly two months. They have raised the prices of many of the necessaries of lire, and increased the expenses of every description ol busi? ness in New York. Every man with anything to eell is revising or preparing to revile his price-list wiin a view to meet the greater expenses of carrying on business. But, of au wno will have to pay dearly for those violent and long-continued disturbances of the natural laws ot trade, the strikers will he the worst ofT. The barbers .ot seventeen hundred shops struck this morning for reduced hours of labor. They demand to work from seven in the morning to eight nt night, with only one hour for dinner. Twelve hundred f hop:t ac? ceded to the demands of the men Immediately, Dther Bbops still hold out, and the strikers will receive assistance from the elghl-hour league. The planomakers have resolved to form a strong association to resist the demands of the strikers. The Brooklyn back drivers, who are on a strike, threaten to interrupt all funerals going Lo Flatbush and Calvary cemeteries. The rvutiiieg State Invaded. KEW HAVEN, CONN., June 24. A labor tna?s meeting was held on the com? mon last evening, with three thousand per? sons in attendance. There was but little en? thusiasm, except on the partofihe speakers. Statistical Resulta of the Strike. NEW YORE, June 24. A morning paper says that since ihe begin? ning of the great strike, eight weeks ago, ninety-five thousand men have participated. Ot these sixty thousand are now working eight hours per day. tweuty-flve thousand are still unemployed, and ten thousand have resumed work on the old system. A Defeat in Philadelphia.

Average- Condition of the Crop. WASHINGTON, June 24. The June report of the statistical bureau of the department of agriculture now in press ls exhaustive in IIB treatment ot wheat sta? tistics. lt is based upon reports from 903 coun? ties, of which 199 Indicate an average condi? tion, 270 higher than the average, and 434 show a low condition ranging from 100, the standard of a medium prospect, down to 10, and lu a lew cases to an entire failure. The state of the average is calculated not simply from the number of counties reported, but from ihe comparative production of the seve? ral counties. These 903 reports include a very large proportion o? the wheat area of the country. The summary ot the returns of the area show a reduction of two per cent, from that of 1871. The average of spring wheat, in States which grow that variety mainly, ls repre? sented as follows: Maine 108, New Hampshire 100, Vermont 102, Massachusetts 95, Wisconsin 98, Minnesota 101, Iowa 106, Nebraska 113, Oregon 107. California, where ihe dtstrlou tlou of spring and winter is scarcely known, reports spring 120, winter 130. Illinois, where winter wheat constitutes two-thirds of the crop gives 101 for winter and 75 lor spring. Kansas, where spring wheat, predominates, re? turns 140 for spriug and 62 lor winter. The States growing winter wheat are: Connecticut 95, New York 98, New Jersey 98, Pennsylvania 90, Delaware 96, Maryland 100. Virginia 98, North Carolina 101, South Carolina 96, Georgia 98, Alabama 105, Mississippi 95, Texas 115, Arkansas 90, Tennessee 103. West Virginia 100, Kentucky 92. Ohio 88, Michigan 92, Indi? ana 94, Illinois 101, Missouri 92. The condition of the predominant variety In each State is thus stated: Maine lol, New Hampshire 99. Vermont 106, Massachusetts 99, Connecticut 88, New York 68, New Jersey 70, Pennsylvania 70, Delaware 70. Maryland 44, Virginia 85. North Carolina 101, South Caro? lina 97, Georgia 105, Alabama 115, Mississippi 104, Texas 117, Arkansas 110, Tennessee 117, West Virginia 85, Kentucky 108, Ohio 78, Michigan 75, Indiana 85, Illinois 80, sprlmr 103; Wisconsin 104, Minnesota 106, Iowa io. Missouri, winier 58; Kansas 108, winter 46; California 99, Oregon 95. The general average of condition for the en? tire crop is 94 per cent. The department esti? mate for the crop ot 1871 ls 230,000,000 bush? els at eleven and a halt bushels per acre, considering twelve bushels an average yield. The area and condition ol the present crop, on the Hrs', week in June, pointed to a product of 220,000,000 bushels in 1872. The crop of 1869, which was about 16 per cent, above an aver? age, and the largest recorded in ten years, was 287,000,000 bushell, as returned by the census. ANEW CATHOLIC CHURCH. f NEW YORK, June 24. The new German Roman Catholic Church ot St. John the Bapiist was dedicated to-day, by Archbishop McCloskey, assisted by Bishop Ignatius P?rsico, of Savannah, and Bishop McQuald, of Rochester.

ELTE BOLTING BOLTERS. SKL'OND CONFERENCE AT FIFTH A VENUE HOTEL. THE The Proceedings, the Candidates and thc Platform. In pursuance of the Invitation extended by Judge Stlllo on the adjournment of the con? ference Thursday night, the few gentlemen who were dissatleiled with the somewhat un? expected results attained met again on Friday morning at the Filth Avenue Hotel, to discuss the situation and arrange some plan of action whereby their dissatisfaction might And united expression. The meeting was informal and entirely private, no reporters being ad? mitted. There were about twenty-five persons present, the most prominent being the fol? lowing: Thos. T. Gantt, Mo. Mr. Morwltz, Penn. Julius Dexter, Ohio. Orram Follett, Ohio. Ex-Gov. Cox, Ohio. Jos. R. Flanders, N. Y. Simon 8terue, N. Y. Judge Colline, Ohio. Edw. H. Beaman, N.Y. J. H. McKlm, N. J.

Ottendorfer, N. Y. Theo. Bacon, N. Y. The meeting was called to order at ten o'clock promptly, Thomas T. Gantt, of Mis? souri, being elected chairman. Julius Dex? ter, of Ohio, and .'iimon Sterne, ol this city, were chosen secretaries. Ex-Governor Cox, ot Ohio, made an extended speech, which was listened to with the closest attention. He said thal, while he was disappointed at the result of the Cincinnati Convention, and while he was strongly opposed to Grant, he could not consent to attach his name to any more calls, or lo Join any new organization. The prominent position he had taken in the past, as well aa the various papers he had slgued, ought to demonstrate his position unmlstaka- ? biy, and to relieve him ol any suspic'"" *?' ',n* : fai i h fulness or timidity, H- considered that the editors present, aa well as every otL >r In dividual there, should use all their influence to further the objects which originated and aol- ] mated this movement. He should in public ' as soon as possible Announce himself as op- 1 posed to General Grant; but he must say that : he could take no part In effecting disorganiza? tion or discouragement in the element oppos? ed to his re-election. At the close ol his ??leech ex-Governor Cox withdrew and took , no part in the subsequent action of the meeting. Emil Rothe, Editor ol the Volksfreund des Westerns, was decidedly opposed to the CIn- . cinnatl nominees, and said that be did not believe Mr. Greeley and Mr. Brown could ! carry aoy ol the German vote. He should go to Ballimore, make the same repr?sentai lons at that convention, and would do all lu his power lo oppose their endorsement or nomi? nation. Judge Stallo, ot Ohio, said he had voted lor party tickets long enough and that no party ; could ever say they owued him. : Carl Daenzer, editor ot tho Anzeiger des ' Westerns, said that In the event ol a nomlna lion being made by this conference he would . hoist the ticket at the head ol lils columns, even if no oiher paper did. , Edward Atkinson spoke at considerable length, and repealed substantially the argu- . ments he brought to bear tn the conference on 1 Thursday. , Henry D. Lloyd, of New York.'sald he had beeu a member ol the Cincinnati Convention, 1 and expressed bis disappointment at IIB action and nominees. He desired a platform that would represent the convictions of the people, and a candidate who would represent that platform, and he did not consider that Mr. Greeley and Mr Brown, nor the Cincinnati platform accomplished those purposes. In ad? dition the speaker said he knew hundreds ol' young Democrats la this city who would never support them. A long speech wan also made by Judge Oil- ' ver, ol Ohio, and theu, ou motion ot Judge < Siallo, W. D. Groesbeck was nominated as a I candidate for ihe Presidency, and. on motion | of J. M. McKlm, of New York, Frederick Law < Olmsted, of New York, ?was nominated lor the 1 Vice-Presidency. i A motion was also made and carried that an I executive committee of three persons, real- i dents ot Cincinnati, should be named, wit li power io add to their number, thus making f Cincinnati ihe headquarters of ihe movement. < Tue committee so named consisted ol Georg?: I Hoadly, Charles Strubel and Julius Dexter. I The following preamble and resolutions were I then presented and adopted : j ; TUE RESOLUTIONS. I Whereas, At a conference ol gentlemen from i the several Stales of the Unlon?.lield Rt New , York city, on June 20, 1872. ii has been con- , elusively shown that me opposition lo the re- , eiectlou of General Grant cannot be, nan , ought not to be united on Horace Greeley; , therefore, be lt Resolved, That the following declaration, in j our opinion, contains the political principles , essential to.the welfare of the American peo- ' pie. , Resolved, That we, as independent citizens, , disregarding former political ntl)Hat ions, and j laying aside all mere partisan prejudices, now , demand wltn equal suffrage for all c?mplele j amnesty tor all; we demand a hearty and un? reserved acquiescence; in the constitution as lt stands, accepting all the amendments In their true Mgulficance; we demand equal civil and political rights for every citizen, und com? plete protection In the enjoyment of those rights. Resolved, That local self-government with impartial suffrage will guard the rights of all citizens more i? jcurely than any cen tra!- ' Ized authority, and we affirm our belief in the ' doctrine that the people are best governed < wblch are governed least. We, therefore, de? mand lor the individual ihe largest liberty con? sistent wit'i public order; we demand lor the State self-government, and for the nation a < return of r.be methods ol peace, and to the ? constitutional limitations of power. Resolved, 1 hat we are opposed to the employ- ? ment ot governmental patronage for party purposes; we protest against the use ol public offices tn reward political friends or to punish political enemies; we ore in favor of the i adoption of a thorough system of civil service , reform: ano we demand a return to the early ? practice under our government of appointing , men lo office on the ground of their fitness i only, and of coniinuing them there while they , are honest and efficient. < Resolved, That national taxes, whether col- , lecied under an excise or tariff act, should be i Imposed for revenue only, and not lor what is i called protection; and that all trade or ex- , c.iange should be as free as. the necessity of tlie government for revenue will permit. Resolved, Thal an act whereby the promise of a dollar Is made a legal tender in place of a true dollar can only be defended as a necessi? ty ol war. and that Justice demands the re? demption ol ihe promise, and that tue stand? ard of value may be true and Just, and that the honor ol the nation may be maintained. 1 Resolved, That undue devotion to party has 1 already greatly damaged the republic, and we now engage ourselves to discountenance, In every possible way, the despotism of party or? ganization, and the abject submission ot 1 voters to the dictates of party politicians. Resolved, That Horace Greeley does not 1 represent these principles, but has been a life? long opponent of the most essential of them. Resolved, That we, therefore, reject his nom? ination as we reject that ol' General Grant. Resolved, That we recogolze in William S. Groesbeck, ol Ohio, and Frederick Law Olm? sted, of New York, men fully In accord with our principles, and of such character and ability as io be worthy ol the confidence of ihe American people; and that we recommeud them lo all patriotic, Independent and liberal voters for their support at the coming Presi? dential election. Who and What they Are. Mr. Groesbeck-was born In New York about the year 182G; studied law and removed to Cincinnati, where be engaged in the practice of his profession. He was elected to the 35th Congress from Ohio, serving on the commit? tee of loreign affairs, was a member ol the Peace Congress ol' 1861, und in 1862 was elect? ed to the Senate of Ohio. Since then he hus figured with success at ihe bar, and, ii will be remembered, greatly distinguished himself by the ability of his plea for Andrew Johnson on the Impeachment trial. He wus much disap? pointed by" the failure to gat a place, either first or second, on the Cincinnati ticket; but he was not backed In his aspirations by his own State. He is wealthy, penurious, lrlgld In manner, and ia not personally pop? ular. Frederic Law Olmsted ls known mainly as the engineer of the New York Central Park. He was a member of the sanitary commission during the war, and is nowa commissioner for t he National Park or California, which includes Yosemite Valley, the Big Trees, Ac. He first came before the public a? the writer of a pleas? ant book of pedestrian travel, entitled "Walks and Talks of an American Farmer In England." Deserting the sinking Ship. NEW YORK, June 24.

Reports from Southwest Georgia and Florida. A correspondent who has recently travelled through Southwest Georgia and Florida writes us as follows In reference to crops In that section: "I find In the western part oi Deca? tur County very poor corn crops Indeed. The cotton crops are very good, particularly where they have been properly cultivated. In this county, (Jackson County, Fla.,) the cotton is very small as a general thing, and the corn crops very inferior. There cannot possibly be more ihan half crops of corn made in Jackson and Decatur Counties. The caterpillar has made Its appearance in many ot the crops already, and snonld they begin to destroy the crops now, but lillie cotton will be made. Tills part of the country lias suffered much for rain, but while I am writing we are having quite a shower and some Iii tie hall. "That portion of the cotton that was up be? fore the Hrat drought setln ls lu a most prom islog condition, but that that did not come up till the rains late In May ls already regarded a (allure. Tills amounts to about twenty-five percent, of the crop, and the falling on* in ihe yield will be In that proportion, even If] Hie seasons from this lime forth shall be pro? pitious." A correspondent writing from Stockton >ays: "Tue farmers of this vicinity have been rather discouraged tor some weeks past on recount of the drought. It is the general opinion that corn is cut off one-fourth, while colton ls looking very weil, and the recent rains, with fair prospects for more, will make i good yield of cotton lu this section." lleports from Louisiana, and Texas. From the Bastrop Conservative, ol the 14ih: 'The crops arc now in a very backward con 1 iiion, the corn crop especially. Owing to ..lie late frequent rains it lias been almost im? possible for the planters to keep their fields Hear ol the grass. The cotton ls reported to 3e doing very well aud a fair average crop nay be expected, but the yield of corn we be? love will be smaller than last year. There has iot been enough planted."
