ASPI ' LL TEE‘LADon QUESTION.
' DEAR GAZETTE:—— , ,_ . . ; The worst side of the labor troubles _is
Aspinwall is a town? shown int "c present strike of the hands in
' a stone-cut g'yard up—town. The men in
upon the Island _of Manzanllla, belougingj
to New Granada; was founded by the Pit--
cific R. R. Co. as theirgAtlantie depot, and-
was named from Wm. H. Aspinwall, a New-
York merchant, one of the first projectors
of the railroad. Its settlement began in
1850. A great number of steamships land?
their passengers and cargoes here, to be;
taken across the Isthmus, and conveyed
both up and down the Pacific coast; as far‘
South'as Peru and Chili, and north to Orc-i
gen and beyond. It is a place of much im-
portance, and yet, to look upon, the most
insignificant, dirtiest, and most disgusting
we ever met with. It is situated on low,
marshy ground, and consequently is very
unhealthy. It is said to contain about
1,500 inhabitants. I hardly think, however,
that any one ever took the trouble to 1111111;
her them. It would be as sensible to take‘
the census of the pigs and parrots as of theE
bionze nude and semi-nude natives. The
dwellings are mostly very ricketty affairs,
the chickens occupying the,kitcben, the pigs:
the parlor, the cats and dogs the porches,:
and the people the space between,whilst
the fleas shirk for themselves.
Some Of the native women, with their
white cotton dresses slipping from their
shoulders, have iairJIeatures, and. are quite
Frenchy in their ways, but the men look
coarse and stupid. Upon the arrival of a2
passenger steamer, there is, for an hour‘ or-
two, a brisk business in oranges 'ne ap-‘
pics, bananas, shells, die. Banad‘re are
fine and cheap. Sonic of the mothers offer-
ed to sell their chil < to our passengers,
but we did not learh at any sales were
made, although the“ price asked was far,
from being cxhorbitant.
There is probably no place'on- the Conti-g
nent more unhealthy than Aspiuwall and.
the Isthmus. In the construction of the
railroad, every tie is said to have cost the5
life of a man". This is, of course, an exag-‘
geration,bnt the road was a costly thing,»
both in human flesh and money. ‘
Taking our seats‘in the cars at 1, p; 1112,?
we made the transit in three hours and a-
half. There is but little to interest one in:
crossing the Isthmus except the luxuriant.
tropical vegetation, which is, in itself, an'-
interesting sight to those just from the
bleak and icy north. NO ctfltivated land is
seem—not so much as a garden,—only a few
inudéhuts, thatched and floorless, scattered
here and there along the railroad track, be-
fore which men and women sit with their
pipes, to appearances more content- than
princes, and, children, from six years old‘
and d0wn,l,'without a rag to hide their
nakednétss,'—'~'perfect bronze statues. None
' but one who crossed the Isthmus before the
railroad was built, when the trip took many
days and was made at the peril of life and
limb, can; understand the luxury of doing
the same thing now in three or four hours,
and without danger or fatigue.
At .the terminus of the road we find a
transport waiting to take us to our ship, ly-
ing off four miles in‘Panvaman Bay, and
about dark-we take possession of our state-
room on board the “ Colima,” the steamer
that is to be our home until we reach San
Francisco. .
In passing out of Panama Bay we go
within six and a half , degrees of the Equator,
and, of course, find ourselves in a warm
climate. In truth, we have been half-roasted
ever since we made the West India‘ Islands,
and there was not much abatement of the
heat up the coast until we reachedthe Gulf
of California. We were many times tempt-
ed to throw our winter clothing‘in't'o the
sea, but we have needed it all-since, and
more, even,w0uld not have been uncom
fortablcfi .» .
The weather up the coast was fine,an’d
most of the time we were in sight of land,
mountain ranges with their hoary peaks re-
lieving, somewhat, the mono of the
trip. ' , ‘ , .
The sailorsand waiters o e‘ Colima
were allChinamen, and the first officer said
that they Were better than any other class
of men. ‘- ' ,
We made but one stop,,at Acapulco. As
soonas the ship’s anchor wasfldropped we
were completely surrounded byADative‘s'in
their dug-outs filled with cringes; .“n'ahas;
pine apples, and basketsof I001;: d-SIICIII,

and some poor cattle for out“ bodily wants,
we proceeded on our journey. ., ' ‘

sight to all; at 3, p. m., we passed within,

Monday morning a younguwoman—a
superhumery in'Booth’s Theatry fainted
during the rehearsal of the play. ' Her sister
actress raised her and carried her to the
green ream, and when she revived, told her
story as best she could. She had not eaten
a morsel of food for threedays, and her
fainting was the, result of nothing but
starvation. Ofeonrse, food was given her,
and of course ac‘ollectiOn was made for her,
andthen her ghastly story came out; Her
husband was a TSceue-shifter ‘inthe theatre,
but had been. down with consumption for
nearly a year. ; She had a mother, also an
invalid, and four'dliildrenmll of whom she

this hadiobe done was six dollarsva week.

bers from working for less than $4.50 for a
day’s work of eight hours. The firm in
question have large contracts, and being
able to employ more handthan they have
The J ourneymen Brown-
at present, engaged some men who applied
for work at a less rate. These men became
dissatisfied after working with the other
bands, and complained to the Association,
who fined the firm $100, with notice that in
default of payment the hands would be or-
dered on strike. This was paid under pro-
test, as work was pushing; but it was not
long before another fine Of- $100 was order-
ed, on complaint of an employee belonging
to the society, that he had been defrauded
out of a day’s wages. The firm refused to
pay the fine, and their men, as ordered by
the society, went on strike. The firm soon
had over twenty outside men at work at
the same hours and wages as before, but de-
clare that under no circumstances will they
again employ society men. In consequence,
the strikers have sent threats to the firm of
burning its property, and went so far as to
assault a teamster drawing stone from the
yard, striking hitn in the face and knocking
him down. The arbitrary rules of the
Stone-Cuttcrs’ Association will go far tow-
ard breaking up the business, so important,
in this city. Its terms must seem exhorbi-
tant in these hard times, and whatever,
without just cause, which these men cari-
not complain of, throws men into idleness,
-an‘d robs their families of their full earnings,
must be'looked upon as mischievous, and
an evil to be stern 1y resisted and suppressed.
It is a singular thing that men dependent
on their daily wages for their daily bread,
should attempt to control their employers,
with the thermometers below zero, and
with thousands upon thousands of men out
of employ and eager for work. But it is so.
EXPlsESS VS. POST.
The express companies are very much
stirred up about the system of Postal Car-
riages, by which packages not over four
pounds in weight can be sent by mail, at the
rate of a cent for each two ounces. A new
system, I called it, but it has been on trial
and the public are
just walking to a sense of its benefits as the
express monopolies are trying to take it
fromthem.. It would seem-as if there was
sufficient field left for them in transporting
large packages, and they might reasonably
leave this convenient arrangement to profit
both Government and people. The con-
venience of‘ this postal package system to"
the public, needs but a glance to be seen at
its full value. Families, remote from any-
thing worthy the name of stores or Stip-
plies, can order samples and have orders
filled .by mail' at the expense of only nine
cents a pound, to any part Of the country.
That this is appreciated, the books of New
York merchants tell. The packages sent
from a single house. by this system, amount-
ed to hundreds of thousands of dollars in
value the last year, and every dollar’s worth
of this paid, its tribute to the revenues of
the Post Ofilce Department, which needs
assistance to constantly establish new
routes. as far as new settlements are made,
instead of gorging the over-rich express
companies. For years these companies
have steadily fought down every effort for
cheap transportation, lest it should wrest
from them part of their enormous profits,
and they are asking the repeal of this
pmsant, kindly Post Ofilce law, which ex-
tends its ‘good to every hamlet in the United
States. If the Post Office can afford to
carry tons and tons of newspapers,books
and pamphlets, at the rate of a cent for two
ounces, and finds profit in doing so, there is-
no reason why itshould not extend this
work to any description of dry goods, and
reap the benefit of it. If the excellencies
of this law are once understofl, people
will no more hear of its repeal than they
will of going back to old-fashioned postage
at twenty-five cents a letter. I applied for
some information on this point to afirm
who were among the first to take pains to
inform their customers of the convenience
of sending parcels by mail. They say that
they can send, within the prescribed weight,
in one. package, twenty yards of tafetta
. silk of good quality, and of the lowbr grades
from twenty-five to thirty yards. Of gros
grain, at $2.00 to $3.50 per yard, twenty
-. yards. Of Lonsdale muslin, fourteen yards;
of New York Mills, thirteen yards, and the
. same of Wamsutta Mills. Lonsdale cambri'c
being much lighter, twenty yards could be
sent. While the'weight of each parcel sent
through the mail is restricted to four pounds,
the number of parcels that can be sent is
junlimited, so that any number of yards of
‘any fabric can be sent by post, by being cut
,into lengths that would suit the purchasers.
If there is any doubt which side would
Win in this great trial of strengthbetween
‘m'onOpoly and the people, it would call for
as strenuous and organized action on the
part of the latter as any question that has
come up for years past. Every express
company is a monopoly in its locality ; and
the enormous charges on goods sent to dis-
tant States and Territories, operates to shut
off those people from any but a local mar-
‘kct,with all its disadvantages ofhigh price,
poor quality, etc. I have been surprised at
" hearing the objection seriously made by dis-
interested parties that they did not see the
use of the Government being made a com-
,mon carrier. Such an old fogy remark
- the Government sees its way clear to mak-
system would speedily bc repealed—there
'can be no reason why it should not do the
people so eminent a service, thatbeing pre-

SNpFLE‘s SPREE.—Sniffles brought his
,tw‘_o weeks’ spree to a close on Thursday
night. He lay on the lounge in the parlor,
feeling as mean as sour lager, when some-
thing in the corner of the room attracted his
attention. Raising on his elbow, he gazed
steadily at it. Rubbing his eyes, he stared
Ingain, and, as he stared, his terror grew.
Calling his wife, he asked hearsely':
“ Mirandy, what’s theft",
“ What is what, Likey ‘2"
‘ Sniffle's name is Lycurgus, and his wife
calls him Likey for short and sweet.
“ Why, that—that—thing in the corner,"
said the frightened, man, pointing at it with
a hand that sllook'likea politician.
ftLikey, dear,‘I see nothing,” replied the
woman. - .
“What! You don’t-see it I” he shrieked.

The Democratic-State Convention con-
vened. at. Hartford, Lon Tuesday” last.
Charles Durand, of Derby, was temporary
President, and David A. Wells, Norwich,
permanent President. Levi Warner, Nor-
walk,was elected one of theiSecretaries
and was also on 'the Credentlal'Com'mittec.
Gen. Nelson Taylor, South Norwalk, served
on the committee on Permanent Organiza-
tion, and Dwight Waugh, Stamford, on
Resolutions. Chas. Tcnney, Greenwich,
was a Vice President. ,
Gen. Williams, of Stonington, tried to get
an informal ballot for Governor, but
Manager Burr put his foot down; he seem-
ed to consider this a “crisis" and stated
substantially, in effect, that Gov. Inger-soil,
although desiring to be ‘ excused, would
nevertheless sacrifice himself for the good
of the party provided the vote was nearly
unanimous. Of course the result was the_
nomination ofthc old ticket entire, by ac,-~
clamation, and so the Governor is on for a
“third term." The resolutions were as
follows;—
The Democratic and Liberal Republican Elec-
tors of Connecticut in Defrgated Concention
assembled, declare : ' .
1. That free government derives its just
powers from the consent of the governed;
that the'federal overnment is, vested with
those powers on y which are granted to it
by the people and enumerated in the eons-
titution of the United States.
2. That the public welfare requires the
supremacy of the civil over the military
authority, and freedom of person under the
protection of hebeas corpus; and we demand
for the individual the largest liberty con-
sistent with theipublic- order; for the state,
self-government;and for the nation a re-
turn tO the methods of peace, and to the
constitutional limitations of power. ‘
2. That we view with apprehension and
alarm and solemnly condemn as subversive
of free government the recent action of the
federal execuive in reference to the statrs
of Louisian Arkansas, and the avowed
determinatio fthe administr tion to dis-
regard the will of the people 0 hose states
in reference to the organization of' their
governments, and the management of their
local affairs.
4. That the use of had money imposes an
unequal and dishonest tax, which bears
most heavily on thOSe who work for wages:;
that irredeemable paper currency, by what-
ever-name known is had, money; and that
it is a fraud in time of peace for the govern-
ment to make anything a legal tender ex-
cept gold and silver coin of a fixt-(L stan-
dard. ..
5. That the republican party has ‘ proved
itself unfit to rule, because with unlimitid
opportunity it has failed to- make the bad
money, which it has forced upon the people’
equal to the good money with which it
pays its bondholders. . .
6. That it is no time when industry Is de-
p'ressed,and honest labor everywhere de-
prived of the opportunity fOr regular and
remunerat'ive employment, to increase the
burdens of federal taxation; and that the
present acknowledged bankruptcy of the
national treasury, is a conclusive proof of
the incompetence of the republican party
to properly administer the fiscal affairs of
the country. -
7. That the manner in which the affairs
Ofthis state have been admin-ed during
the past two years; the fol iconomy
with which all departments of the state
government have been conducted and the
dignity and impartiality with which the ex-
ecu‘ive duties have been performed are
worthy of approvnl‘by the electors. ‘
8. That we cordially approve of the re-
moval by the legislature of 1874,01 embar-
rassments which the radical party had
placed in the way of free suffrage; and we
also approve of the- repeal 0f the unjust
alien law which that party had adopted for
the purpose of restrictin' an expression of
the popular voice at the allot boxes.
Resolved, That we present to the considera-
tion of the electors Of Connecticut the
names of Charles R. Ingersoll. George G.
Sill, Marvin H. Sanger, William E. Ray-'
mond and Alfred R. Goodrich, for re-elec-
tion to the oflices they have so ably and
faithfully filled the past two years; and we
invite all the conservative voters who pre-
fer principle to party, and a government Of
freedom to military rule, to act with us in
securing their electionpn the first Monday
of April next.

And bleak the winds would whistle,
And her wishes he in vain.
But a sprite appeared before her,
And rays of brightness shed,
And a crown of wondrous luster
Sat on her queenly head.
She whispered the maid a secret,
“ To make the dark days bright,
When the sun his radiance scatters,
To gather his rays of light."

Then the maiden‘gathered sunshine,
Which seemed like beams of gold,
And laid them by for the morrow,
E’en as the sprite had told.
Shezdreamed the morn came darkly,
The sky with clouds o’ercast, ‘
And bleak the winds did whistle,
And a storm was coming fast.
But her heart was light and happy,
Spite of the dreary day,
For she thought other preciOus treasure,
0f sunshine laid away.
So she arose and brought it,
And spread it far and wide,
And the clouds dispersed as shadows,
Fleet in the full moontide.',
The stream and wind passed over
And the day as fair appeared
As had been the one before it,
When the rising storm she feared.
From this she learned a lesson,
When all is bright and fair,
To gather rays of sunshine
For the time that’s dark and drear.
And when doth come the darkness,
And the heart is likewise sad,c '
Then scatter the rays of sunshine
And the heart again is glad.

For the New York Evangelist.
“ PAPA, PLEASE LET DIE IN.”
[In the following lines a bereaved father
tells the story of a beloved child—a story
whieh‘vill touch a chord in the hearts of
other fond parents, as they think of little
ones who have knocked at their doors, and
whom now they would give the world to
be able once more to clasp in their arms.—
ED. EVAN]
A timid knock was at my door,
And restless feet were on the floor;
A soft, sweet voice said, “ Papa, please,
And little Jimmie will not tease."
I knew the presence waiting there,
The deep blue eyes, the nut brown hair.
Just now, the bolt upon him drawn,
He had been banished all forlorn ;
For turning things all upside down,
While I was in a study brown.
His little hand touched everything,
His tongue put in such questioning;
That I could not command my thought,
And so I rose and turned him out.
He. went without remonstrance, cry,
But curled his lip so mournfully,
That courage cooled as I went back,
And somehow I was off the track.
Did I not. know that in hiseyes
My study was a paradise?
And there he stood beseechingiy,
With voice so soft and sobbingly;
And so with show of discipline,
I rose and let my Jimmie in.
His dear red lips my cheek did press,
About my neck he flung caress.
“ I’m sorry. papa ; let me stay,
still all day.” ,
Then down with bo‘ok upon the floor,
He sat andturncd the pictures o’er. .
‘ I wonder when the folks are dead,
And go to God, 110w long they stand,
Before our Father takes their’hand,
And says to them, I'm glad you've come
To my nice, warm and pretty home.
And is it long they have to wait,
Before God opens wide the gate 1”
I t_old my boy the Lord would come.
Himself, to take his people home.
“ And will he come for me, papa,
When I must leave you and mamma P
0, if he does, I’ll thank him so,
For he will know the way to go.”
Two weeks had passed and little more,
Our Jimmie was at death’s dark door.
He murmured sadly in his sleep,
And asked the Lord hi “ soul to keep.”
I’m knacking, papa, at the door ;
Please let me in, I’ll plague no more.”
Then suddenly, with opened eyes,
That shone with sweet and glad surprise:
0, thank you, Jesus; you have come
To take your little Jimmie home.”
We closed his eyes, his work was done;
Our darling boy was from us gone.
0, Jesus Christ, our blessed Lord,
We thank thee for thy precious word :
Suffer ,the children, let them come,
W. B.
For I will lead them to my home.”
Poughkeepsie, Jan. 18th, 1875. .
