['HOM OUR OWN COR KR? TON DENT.]
KEW YOKE, June 26.
The strikes are bearing more heavily on tbe
workingmen tban on the masters. Very
many of the former are now actually suffer?
ing, for the weekly pittance doled out by the
trade leagues ls not enough to meet all the
necessities of existence, even with the prac?
tice of rigid economy. What ls working most
against the strikers is the season. During
the summer months marly kinds of manufac?
turing business are dull, orders are slack, and
the masters are rather pleased to get rid of
the expense of keeping their hands in work.
They can afford tobe independent just now.
The leaders of the strike encourage their
followers with the hope that when activity in
bjbluess ls renewed lu the fall the employers
wpl have to come to terms. On the other
hand, the capitalists believe the men will be
starved out before then.
Tue large houses in the manufacturing
trades are themselves combining against the
labor combination. The pi u no-makers, for in?
stance, are about to form an offensive
and defensive alliance. Mr. Steinway
ls at the bead of the movement. His
employees have all returned to work on
the old terms, after holding out two or three
weeks. Forty-one of the leading iron works
bouses have signed a pledge to employ no men
who viii not agree to work ten hours at the
old wages. It should be said in praise of the
strikers that generally their conduct has been
peaceful and dignified, which, in view of the
straits to which most of them have been
reduced, is rather remarkable. No body ot
workingmen In England or France would be
likely to keep as quiet under such circum?
stances.
The President, Mrs. Grant ana the military
secretaries passed through the elly on Mon?
day on their way io Boston, tor the purpose
the Herald says-"of hearing ihe big drum."
The Presidential party dined at the Fif h Ave?
nue Hotel, and took passage In the evening
boat of the line lately managed by Jim Fisk.
When the President and Jim Fisk were on
terms of familiar friendship and partners In
certain Wall street schemes, the former used
to get free passes over the line. The whole
illustrons party, the President, the Admiral,
(as he was ihen called,) and the satellites ol
both went to the Boston Jubilee tn 1869 to?
gether. Fisk In naval blue and brass butions,
and Grant in plain clothes, appeared in com?
pany at the Coliseum, and the ex-pedler im?
pudently bowed to the applause which was'
undoubtedly Intended for the ex-tanner.
These reminiscences are interesting now, OB
the surviving member of the li rm is starring
it again at tbe Coliseum. I accidentally
caught a sight of bis Excellency as he was on
his w>'.y to the boat on Monday. His face wore
that same cold, pitiless expression I saw in the
w9r~days, when be was doggedly slaughtering
th? soldiers of both armies. Fur a wonder lie
had no cigar protruding from bis mouin. He
was dressed in a neat suit of black clothes,
and behaved himself quietly.
There are many public Improvements going
on about the city and gubuibs which d ese rv?
notice. ' The Brooklyn tower of the great
bridge has risen io the height of seventy lee),
but lt ls on ly halt finished. Tue New York
tower ls not yet visible above the surface. It
is said that over tbree millions of dodars have
already been swallowed up by the bridge
makers. Another bridge from Long Island to
"this city ls about to be commenced higher up
the East River. It ls to have a central sup?
port on Blackwell's Island, and will be of wire.
The board of directors organized on Monday.
Tbe magnificent new poBtomce at the lower
end ot the City Hall Park ls now nearly fin?
ished as tar as its third story. We can get
already some idea of Its ach i tee tur al character
from what can be seen above the hideous
board fence which surrounds lt. No doubt it
will be the showiest public building in thf city.
At the upper end of Pnntlug-Housa Square,
on the site of the old Tryon row, the Imposing
gray-stone front of the new Staats Zeltung
building ia going np. In time, in front of this
building, tbe bronze statue of Horace Gree?
ley, now already subFCribed for, will be erecl
ed, so that at this end of the square there wi 1
be an appropriate offset to the other end,
where the earlier Franklin ls entrenched.
A conspicuous edifice on tbe c?rner ot Broad?
way and Union Bquasy, known for many years
as the Roosevelt Mansion, li? being torn down,
and will be replaced by an architectural won?
der suitable lor business purposes. The pro?
cess of reoulldlng Union Square ls still going
on, and the place 1? becoming one of the must
bulking, architecturally considered, in Hie
metropolis. On the corner of Wall and Broad
tweets, opposite the treasury building, tfefe
? an enormous hole in which hundreds of
workmen are laying the fouudatlons ot a mon?
ster banking bouse. Every few blocks along
Broadway travelling ls Impeded with the de?
bris of some tailing house, wntch was vacated
last May day, and ls giving place to something
grander and better. Th? work of rebuilding
Niblu's Theatre ls rapidly progressing, aud the
temple of the muses will rise radiantly from
its ashes for the third time in time for the win?
ier season.
The dramatic proRpects for the fall and
winter are promising. Ni bio's will be re?
opened by the old managers, Jarrett and
Palmor, with spectacular pieces. Tbe grand
Opera House passes into the hands ot Augus?
tine Daly, wbo bas imported from Paris the
famous (aod, it Is said. Indelicate) spectacle
play ot Sardou's, entitled "King Carrot." It is
expected to out-do the "Black Crook" io at?
tractiveness. Daly's other place, the bijou
Fifth Avenue Theatre, will continue to be de?
voted to genteel comedy. The new Union
Square Theatre will also become a comedy
shop-a rival as well asa neighbor of Wa Hack,
and will have a company composed of such
people as Mark Smith, Vining Bowers and
Agnes Ethel. Tbe Bouclcaults are un?
der engagement for this place. The
Olympic bavlog been given over three
years to "Humpty Dumpty," will be
turned into a borne tor the melo drama,
Fox, the clown, having finally taken himself
off to the provinces. Fechter will be back
from Europe in a few days to oe ready for tbe
opening of his own house, tbe Lyceum
Theatre, formerly the Theatre Francaise, In
Fourteenth street. James Wallack will open
the season at Booth's with a new London
sensation, "The Bells." Booth's will present
grand tragedy and drama during the season,
out Bool h will not appear. Wal lack's Theatre
twill be taken possession of by the reconstruc?
ted Lydia Thompson troupe now on lis way
over I be ocean from England. The Theatre
Comique, Wood's Museum, the St. James
Theatre and the numerous minor houses are
brushing up tor their hinter's work. Alto?
gether there will be-great and small-some
sixty places of amusement open In New York
and Brooklyn when the amusement tide sets
In In October. NTM.
A OAT LOTHARIO.
Hunt Down the Base Deceiver.
(From the Anderson Intelligencer.]
The facts herewith appended are derived
from a responsible source, and an anxiety to
prevent other communities lrom being im?
posed upon, induces us to give publicity to
this statement. One T. Cary Cole married a
ladv of bigh respectability in this couuiy, and
afterwards decamped lrom this section leaving
lils family without protection. He went to
Flurida. and .there married another lady.
When the facts became known,he was Indicted
tor bigamy and lodged lo Jail. The proof was
abundant to secure his conviction, bu; he made
lils escape on the 23d of May last lrom tue Jail
of Columbia County, Fla., and has not been
haard from since. He ls about forty-five years
old, five feet ten luches, welgns anout one
hundred and sixty-five pounds, has blue eyes,
coarse auburn hair, witn a beard nearer red
than any other color, and possesses a meau
countenance, according to OUT Informai ion.
He ls very religious, and claims to be a Hard?
shell Baptist preacher.
Our exchanges will confer a favor by giving
the purport of thia information in their col?
umna, and In all probability arrest the career
pf this gay Lothario in other places.
JUDGE ORR AND THE RING.
The Hopes and Fears or the Radical
Politicians-Th? Plans and the
Backer? or Orr-Parker1?! Gold Mine.
[FROH OUR OWN CORRKSPOVDENT.]
COLOMBIA, June 27.
There Ia DO apparent political activity
among the Radical grandees at the capital
I just yet. The idea seems to be to stave off i he
Republican nomloatiog convention as long as
possible In the hope that the white people
may be tempted to take same prior action
and thus neutralize the efforts of the dis?
affected Republicans within their own ranks,
and consolidate the vote of tho party and
re-establish the Bing. Scott, Moses, Jr., and
Neagle, are spoken of by the Radicals
as the most probable candidates for Governor.
It ls believed, however, that there Is a strong
opposition belog organized against either of
them or ar - member of the Ring. Orr will
lead, or direct this opposition, under instruc?
tions lrom Washington; the object being to
relieve Grant ai the North, as far as may be, of
the odium of the presentrotten concern which
Scott heads, and to give promise of something
better In the future. Scott occupied a con?
spicuous seat in the hall when Orr made his
speech here some time since. He seemed to
enjoy hugely the clumsy eulogy of Grant, and
Orr's elephantine antics over the "bloody out?
rages," but took his closing remarks about the
Stale government In high dudgeon. All the
other white Radicals who were present went |
up and congratulated Orr alter his great effort,
but Scott sulked out with his head down, and
would give In no paw or his to a man so want?
ing in politeness as to speak of honesty In his
presence.
A few days ago. Orr delivered a second edi-1
tlon of his Columbia oration at Abbeville, en?
larged though, and doubtless vastly improved
by a most vigorous attack upon Scott, Moses,
Jr., and the present State Government gen?
erally.
Thus the fight bas commenced, and lt will
probably wax warmer and warmer as the cam?
paign progresses. Orr has no Insignificant
strength among the Republicans In the State,
and If, as your correspondent was Informed
by a leading Radical to-day, he has the ear of
Grant and the Moguls al Washington, Scott,
Moses A Co., despite their lavish use of money,
may have lo succumb. Orr, it is said, does J
not expect to be Governor, but to get in some
more reputable character than Scott, He
himself looks to higher honors-a Cabinet
position or a forelgu mission.
There are no new developments In the legal
proceedings against Parker. He ls, or pre?
tends to oe, making up a full exhibit o? his
receipts and expenditures for the last two
yea?, for which document the plaintiffs are
waiting.
A Republican who ought to know says that
Parker bas five hundred thousand dollars in?
vested in five-twenty United StateB bonds,
which be has picked up Mace he has been
conducting the financial affairs of ibis pros?
perous Commonwealth. Qui Vivs.
ST. JOHN'S DAT TN CAMDEN.
The Oration of Grand Alaster Brans.
The Camden Journal gives a full report of
the St. John's Day ceremonies :
Bro. Bruns, grand master, and Bro. J. B
Kershaw, deputy grand master, arrived on
Saturday night, the one from Charleston and
the oilier from Lancaster, so that Kershaw
Lodge was enabled to have with ibem tue two
highest officers of the GranrtLodge.
At eleven o'clock A. M. the lodges assembled
at the lodge ro?m. and Bros. Bruni and Ker?
shaw were received in due torm. Alter ai tend
lng to certain business, the, lodge was closed
and the procession formed, Bro. E M. Boykln
acting as marshal. The procession moved up
Broad to Dr Kalb si ree),-thence to the Presb.\
terian Church, where the ranks opened aud
the brethren entered the church lu reversed
order, as ls customary, the organ pealing iori h
amareb. Having tl!-d In, wu h a rap of the.
gavel, the brethren seated themselves and an
ode was piing by the. chi lr. after which Rev
Bro. A J. StuK.es offet ed a prayer, and another
ode was rendered. Bro. J. D. Kennedy, wor?
shipful master of Kershaw Lodg-, then Intro?
duced Bro. Bruns, the orator ol th?- day.
In a quiet jet Impressive m-tnner, Brother
Bruns commenced ids oration. He comment?
ed upon the extreme age of Masonry, claim?
ing that it had existed lor a longer period of
lime th au any omer known among men. Since
it s fouudatlon great nations had ri-en to
power only to sink Into oblivion, while Ma?
sonry yet lives and Increases until she num?
bers her high priests by thousands, and her
votaries by mi dione. Masonry was universally
known wherever man dwelt. It was first only
operative, but now lt has expanded Uto a
grand speculative science. We point with
pride to the great works of our operative
brethren, as manifested In the pyramids
ol' Egxpt, the grind pillars, monuments
and temples of the East, and to our silent
though beneficent laoors aa bestowed
upon worthy objects of charity and the
teaching ot friendship, morality and brotherly
love, with much other learning aud under a
great many beautiful figures. Brother Bruns
depicted in glowing colors the harmony, sym?
metry and tue vast attractions which are to be
lound by the student ia Masonry. He closed
with abeautitul and touching tribute to the
ladies, who though, os he sala, were bebarred
entrance Into our mysteries, yet have the
proud satisfaction ol' knowlag that they
reigned supreme In our hearts.
Atter the oration, Hie choir sung another
ode with fine effect, and the chaplain having
offered prayer, the procession was reformed, t<
the organ playing a march. Having reach the g
hall, the brethren were dismissed until eight i
o'clock, P. M., when a regular meeting was r
held tor the dispatch of business. j
Ai night an ample dinner was served, to u
which I he craft did full justice.
Resolutions were adopted by the lodge on
Monday night, thanking Brother Bruns tor his
oration, and the ladies and gentlemen who
conducted the music lor their excellent perfor?
mance, c

Badlcal leaders here are tn great, tribulation
at the demonstrations all over tbe country In

by the fact that no one now denies that the
B iliimore Conveotlon will endorse bfs nomi
nation, and in that nomination presage their
own defeat. They have set the Badlcal cam?

head, to work on* nie of the New York Tri?

therefrom everything that Greeley has ever
said editorially during his long political ca?

Leading Conservatives here laugh at the
project ,and believe lt will not dissuade a cor?

Greeley's support. The administration Is wo
lully frightened at The Intelligence received
from Indiana of extensive defections from tbe
Radical ranks. Orders bave been given to
flood the State with speakers and documents,
and twenty thousand dollars will te used In

about Pennsylvania, and Cameron ls expect?

Ii EB Ul LD rx G TBE WASTE PLACES.
The Movement to Obtain Municipal
Encouragement,
The following ls the full text of the petition
presented at the last meeting of the City Coun?
cil by a number of enterprising citizens who
are actively engaged In building up the burnt
district and other waste places of Charleston,
asking for a temporary exemption from city
taxes upon such Improvements as an encour?
agement to future operations In this direction.
There can scarcely be a subject of more inter?
est and Importance to Charleston than the re?
habilitation of the city in Its ante bellum glory,
and the exemption from local taxation prayed
for would certainly appear to be no more than
a statesmanlike act of foresight and prudence
in fostering and - stimulating a series of enter?
prises which, in the end, will repaya thousand*]
fold the temporary sacrifice proposed now.
IX isa significant and encouraging fact, in con?
nection with thlsBubJect, that contracts for the
erection of ten new buildings, in the burnt
district, ?te*, given <wt yesterday :
T?Ta ??TlTIOji?
To. hU BopazJhezJfayor and thc ignorable
We, the undersigned,- Berns; desirous of re
building the burnt dlstrlcf-and waste places In
the city, do respectfully petlticm-^om- honor?
able body to aid os tn the accomp??uimen*-*L.
our aim; cot on account of the benefit to he
derived by Individuals, but for that which will
be received by the city and: by the citizens at
large. It will benefit the" poor and needy-as
building necessarily gives employment to a
large number of mechanics and laborers. It
will benefit the merchants not-only by the in?
crease In their business, but by the Increased
circulation of money from capital drawn into
the city. It will benefit the elly not only from
the fact that lt will receive more taxes from
the Increase tn business generally, but also
because lt will enhance the value of property
throughout the city and lighten the taxpayers
generally. For Instance, nearly one-quarter
of the city ls vacant and unproductive; and we
will respectfully remark that very many own
era of vacant loti either cannot or do not pay
T***Ltaxe8; that the city ls oiten obliged to
use co^Ki^gmeasures to collect; ihat property
U thus very-wyj BOla: at a 8acrmce< greatly
below Hs actuiil^^ih,,., depreciating prop?
erty throughout the cdTy^irjVe hundred lot?,
now valued at five liuD?reS?vdoi|ara eac]i
making at present a dead capltart^wenty
five thousand dollars, had buildings, sayS*^
average value of twenty-five huudred dollar
put upon each of them, the value would be
increased to the value of one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. So that, If the city were
to release all persons building on the burnt dis?
trict from city taxes for the period of five
j years, lt would. In one year, re-enter into
the entire amount it had remitted, and enjoy
the benefit lt wonld derive* from the accrued
value for all time to come. Business would be
stimulated. Capital Isl s Induced to bring
money Into the city, the city Itself would be
greatly and usefully benefited. We, therefore,
respectfully petition your honorable body to
release all persons building on the burnt dis?
trict (within a period to be designated by your
body] from city taxes for the period ot
years.
And we will ever pray, as In duty bound,
(Signed) ALFRED BERNARD, and others.
RADICAL MEETINGS IN ST. ANDREW'S.
There was a very large meeting at Oak
Grove, SU Andrew's parish, on Thursday, and
another equally large and enthusiastic a
Lamb's farm, both of which were addressed
by the Hon. 0. C. Bowen and other speakers.
At both places, Mr. Bowen made a terribie
onslaught upon the Scott Ring and Its para?
sites In this county. He said that the thieves
would sell out the State and swindle the people
out ol all they had; that lt was the duty of
every Boptiblloatr-to support Qaneral Qrant;
that be had no compromise to make with
Greeley nor the Democrats, and that lhere
was not money enough in the country to turn
him, poor as he was, from bis purpose lo clean
this State from stem to stern, and to Inaugu?
rate an honest, upright and able Republican
administration. He closed, in both Instances,
an effective appeal by calling down the ven?
geance of the people upon those who had, in
and out of the Legislature, sold them and
their rights, and dragged In the dust the honor
of tho party and the name of the State. He
was frequently interrupt ed by manifestations
of the wildest enthusiasm. Mr. Bowen is,
and has always been, a Radical, but unlike
other prominent leaders his pockets are
empty, and he Is unquestionably earnest in bis
movement. Such work from Mr. Bowen ls
surprising, but his constituents know him
best, and he ls certainly their ablest and most
popular leader In this section.

he could take one of his vials, shake lt, and by

he could shake one of the vials and put it down
