mittee representing the Amalgamated
Trades and Labor Union f Connecti
cut recently forwarded to" theConnect
iout Senators and (Representatives in
Congress a petition requesting Itheir
euppori ot the following measures :
First--that 'the public lands be re
served for actual eettlers, and Dot for
railroads or speculators. ,
v Second The abolition of Mhe con
tract. s stem in National works and

Eighth That the government shall

no charter or' license be granted to
any corpomtion for the construction
or operation ot any means of trans
porting " intelligence passengers or

; In reply, to thislpatition t Senator
Piatt writes: "I never pledge." my
vote for or against any measure but
in reply to so courteous a petition I
want to say that! am anxious to bets
ter theiworkingmen's coudition.r .My
views coincide with my action in re
gard to the bill prohibiting importa
ion of contract labor. Aly speech in
the Senate, Jan. 19. 1883, in favor of
a Government postal telegraph was,
1 thmk;-the . tirst speech m its advo
cacy ever made in the; Senate. -In
act, I may, say that my course m the
Senate in the past clearly indicates
my. views upon the labor questions.
V hile' not advocating (ji-ovexnnient ,
control of railroads, I favor Gov
ernment regulations-: on the subject,
as my concurrence with the report of
the Senate Committee on the Inter
state Oommerce indicates. Governs
ment ownership of railroads would
result in a vast-increase in - number
pf dishonest - officials, and Govern
ment regulation on the, matter are
the most advisable course -1 am no?
enthusiastic over proposed .Governs
ment savings banks, as the ; average
postmaster , would prove 77 a poor
banker. ;But I dont think I . should
oppose such a measure. The aboli
tion of. putting put Government
work by contract . would increase
"cost of wore excessively, and it is
impracticable to have some work
done otherwise. . ' The abolition of
banks I am at present opposed to.and
also to an issue of paper money, uns
less secured oy goia ana snver, or
bullion. I do not think Congress hat
any right to incorporate trade-unions
except in the TMstrict of Columbia or
m m - Nl r t. 1J 1-1 -li
the Territories, due i snoum hko io
see them incorporated. Strikes, I
believe, are ruinous to all concerned.

to the working classes, and will
honestly support such ' measures a3 1
believe to Be just and calculated :.. to
improve the condition of , the labor
ing classes " 7 . , ' ;"
Congressman Mitchell replies: . 'I
am thoroughly in sympathy .. with
your first propositioa regarding the
public lands, ana ii Ke wise or me sec
tion regarding contract and convict
labor. To your third, ; fourth, ; fifth
and sixth, I give unqualified appro
val, but regarding the issue of . money
bv the Government, I radically differ

methods of telephones, telegraphs and
railroads which oan be most cheaply
onerated. -' " . , '
In the course of. a brief reply Con
pressman Seymour says: "I -intend
to vote for every measure beneficial
to the workingmen's interest, and
not in jurious to the rights of others."
Congressman Wart says: 4,I agree
with your views in the main, and
consider your propositions of vial
importance to socieiy.- There should
be a friendly sympathy befween em
ployer and employee, f though there
naturally will be a slight differences
of opinion."
Congressman Buck says: "I am in
full accord with your views, and see
no objection ' to incorporation of
tradssuniens to -further your just
demand3,7: While favoring the ma
jority of your : propositions,: I .think

Henderson, Ky.,; January . 24 -rA
most heinous murder, was committed
this morning three -miles from this
city. - Calvin Simpson, a negro,
forced! an entrance to .'Mrs. -Graves's
residence. She and her two daughr
ters fled out of the front door,follows
ed by the negroi . The old lady was
overtaken and "killed," a bludgeon
beincrthe instrument used.
The negro said he was sent by God
to do the deed because Mrs. Graves
would not pray. . The girls escaped
to a neighbor's house. Simpson then.
went to the residence or Miles crown,
near the place of the "tragedy, drove
.him out of bis cabin ana eook pos
session.. The news: spread rapidly
and neighbors surrounded the cabin
and stood guard during the balance
of the night and until officers from
this city arrived. . .'
' After hard work, battering down
barred doors, Simpson was captured
and brought to Henderson. He feigns
insanity "and says be has captured
the devil and set the world free. One
of his first acts in jail was - to attack
the deputy jailer, and but for prompt
assistance he would' have killed him.
Mrs. Graves was 60 years old. There
is talk of lynching the negro tonight.
