If The Lantern will oblige ais by suggesting a more pleasing and appropriate epillie' tknu "rat" for the limn Who hnsnlip^ed in an.l ^akon the position of the printer who bith struck?nine times out of ten for his jast dnos?or has been locked ont; wo will tlmnk him very much uml forward his suggestion to Mr. liramwo?xl, secretary jof the 1 ntern;;:iotml Typographical Union, who will see to it that the epithet "rat" is forever tabooed by the o.~>,000 unionpr'inters in the United States. 4 . ' The monument which is to be erected in Confederate Park to commemorate the bravery of the Indians of Catawba tribe is expected to arrive withjn a fortnight and will be unveiled as soon thereafter as the bases, eto^cioi be built. In view of t}io wide-spread interest which the pr posed erection of the monument F'V.cv nted throughput the State, tbo f?/?Io\vh?g facts /concerning the history of the Oatawbas Jiiay prove acceptable to the reader: The principal town of the Catn^ba triVj > was located whore Fort Mill now stands, the tribo having migrr.ted from tho north to this point r^a early na 1 .">(>7, during which yenr they engaged in battjo the bees.

There :irt> linn- > dreds of thousands of workers in Now York?and for that matter their like exists in every corner of t ho land?whose average yearly income won't reach?,'00. Oil this they most support a family. Tho World lately told at length el' a woman and her child whose income? and the woman sewed night and day? i is worse than slavery. They are hotter than slavery for tho employer, for slavelabor and slave-ownership would cost the employer more. And f ?r all that the Administration choir so constantly and with npt uracil thankful eyes chant o' a persistent, sweet prosi>erity, labor conditions grow worse and tho poor go lean and i*> >rer. It's a stale of economic afVairs t?>evoke thought and throw a shadow of gravity across his face who hopes for tho |>o 'pie's advancement. It likewise recalls sonic old-time slavery oloiiuenco. Forty years ago tho Southern owners of black chattel-slaves taunted tho North with the holding of white wage-slaves. In u lectnro on (and in favor of) slavery delivered in Tremont Temple, Host on, .Tan nary 21, 1 !>">(>, :-Ttuntor Robert Toombs, of (Jcorgia, said of tho black slave: "lie is entitled by i law to a home, to ample food and clothing, and exempted from excessive labor; and when no longer capable of lab >r, in old age and disease, he is a legal charge upon his tuns tor," while of the white slave he truly said: "Under that system man has become less valuable and le:,;s tared for than domestic animals; * * * in short, capital has become the master of labor, with all the benefits, and without tho natural burdens of the relation." In the course of this same lecture he used the following pmph"tic language: "The moment wages descend to a print barely sullicicnt n> siinnovt I he laborer and his family, capital c an not afford to own labor, and it must cease. Slavery ceased in I'm eland in ohcdiimoc to this law. and not from any regard to liberty or humanity. The increase of population ia this country may produce the j-atne results, and American ?!avery, like t lint of Mo-land, may thid its tuthauasia in the general prostration of all labor." In other words, chattel-slavery lhlds its easy death in Wft^o-alavery. IJoes Toombs' long ago worda tlad no echo in these tin;"-!.' T' ** ; I rotii 1 ho Nit l insl c'?plt<it. Washington, 1). April r.O. d'.K). The i i?*ii who have been s'.owlv hot surely pushing a s'-lior.io to loot the I tiit' *1 States Treasury l y means of contracts with tlio Post-O.'lice Department for pmuimatic-tv.be service in the larco cities were given a hard throw do vn this week v.hwu the lhmse Viv a vo'oof ST to ."?<> struck out thai |x<rtiou <>f the post-oillen appropriation carrying $72"?,?)tK> to pay for existing pnonnmiio tuuu sovvlco and to extend tlu* same during tho coming liscul year. That aetion was brought about l?v* the public statement of Representative Moody, of Mussaehusotts, that those men had boon bribing and tryiuir to bribe atomln'*s of Congress with stock in their company, which existed solely for what P could got through Congressional lobulation. Admiral Dewey will not make a stnleujent of liis attitude toward important public questions, unless he chants liis mind, hut xvill nsktheXnnsr.s City convention to nominate liim for President solely on his record. That shown how guileless, isi a political way, the dear old hoy is.

It would he iuterestin;; to know liow Mi. MeKiuley induced Senators Aldrich and llovoridye, both Quay men, to absent thotus"lvcs without pairs. Their votes would have seated Quay. Mr. MeKiuley may, however, liud his triumph a dearly bonyhi one, as Mat t^uay is about as relentless an enemy as any politician could possibly have f lowing his trail awaiting an opportunity to strike. There is a fatality about tho name of (Jcorge. Washington, says the State. The original |<os.sessor of it was doomed to be tlio father of a whole eountry. Now comes, a negro giossessor of it who timls himself sent back to the h'ate orison to re-enter upon the service of a life sentence after enjoying? Tl years of freedom. Washington was sent lip for life from Charleston for rape in is7ii. The succeeding; year he csrajied, and nothing; more was ever heard of him. 1 At the time a circular was issued gi\ i"K a description of tho eseajied convict. Even now the musty records will have to b enrefally looked over for the fellow's name. It seems that after wan- i tiering; about for a time Washington settled in Augusta, (da., where he began life anew, has conducted himself well, and has accumulated considerable property. Chief llood of Augusta had seen one of the cirenlars, and h<? kept an eye on Washington. Filially he concluded he was the cscapud life-term man, arrested him, and yesterday I)Hirer Richards of the Augusta force brought hint ever 11? Simrrinl t CSIlld. 'n nejrro takes his recapture stoiealfy. He does not deny his eoiivietiou and sentence nor his escape. Mrs. F. I), (ireen, of Lancaster, visited tlie family of Postmaster Massey last week.
