D. Johnston, how on a visit to has home in Ashevi 1 le, in Oawerie -Railroad Bridfe Ac. It is a treat to a denizen of the town A Lively Day ia Chicago. Last Saturday, May 1st, was signal ised by a grand uprising and street par- ode of working men for the purpose of dema tiding the eight hour rule for Work, and in some cases an advance of rates with a redaction of working hou rs. The city rang with the blair of bands and the tramp of processions carrying red flags and the national bunting. Ten thousand lumbermen were oat; 1000 freight handlers; a large number of furniture workers and plan ning milt hands, etc., etc., all in proces sions in different parts Of the city, holding .public meetings, scattering cir culars and floating banners. Business in some; departments was suspended, the factories closed, some only for the day, and others until a settlement can be arrived at There is one impressive fact in re gard to the present disturbance among the Working people of the northern, eastern, and south-western States, and that is that the discontented are in small proportion to the whole number of working people in the country. The Knights of Labor are estimated at 800,000; whereas, the whole number of laborers is estimated at from fifteen to eighteen million. But to limit the view to the territory in which the labor excitement has prevailed, leaves the discontented largely in the minority still. So that, .in point of fact, they are not in position to dictate terms to capitalists and employers permanently They can, (they have,) in many in stances, produced temporary suspen sions of business, which embarrass, and even ruin, some of those who have been interfered with; and to this extent the attempted revolution in business affairs is mischievous. It is not tg be expected however, that this state of things will last very long. Counter movements will be inaugurated, and business will find the means of re-es tablishing itself with or' without the agency cf those who make the trouble Aircauy, we perceive taat the non union laborers of Philadelphia have started; an organization of non-union men. It seems to be based on the idea that laborers should be fee to accept or reject work without the dictation of the directors of an Association; and that, relying upon his merits as a work man in any particular department of trade, a man should be free to go into markets and sell his labor for what it will bring, be it little or much. A first-class workman has' nothing to fear under this equitable system, and the poor or indifferent workman, un boosted by a "union," will receive all he is justly entitled to. Whether or not t his is the initial of a counter movement of the trades unions, Knights of Labor, etc., which will ulti mately restore an equiilabrim to busi ness affairs in the country; or whether it is to come in some other way, re wains to be seen; but it is quite certain that it will come, and the business orid will again move on much as it has done heretofore. The following extract from the New York Enterprise, is at least suggestive of one of the ways in which things may settle down. The late war was begun to preserve the union of the States: the abolition of slavery was emphatically denied as one of its ob jects. No one mm tell where revolu tions once commenced are going to end:- to work the black mn i.u YT . idle; thev ahould strike out for men's place.
