One. of tbc sensations of the week
has been the New York Trtbunr. account
of the new, secret, labor organization,
kn
wn as the K nigh taof Labor. It is
said this order started some two yean
ago jo Philadelphia among the cloth
weavers.' It's growth was slow at first.
t received its greatest impetus daring
he xtrike troubles of last .rear. No
one but laboring men can become mem
ber.. All professional men like lawyers.
oclera ttfnd ministers are excluded. It
U said that a "General Assembly," in
which; most of the stales of the anion
were represented, was held in Reading,
'ennsylvania, last January, at which,
NaMonal olliccr's were chosen. These
ollieers are paid, to control; the action
of a iiicuibcrsbip which now reaches
t!f.' enormous number of 800.000 work-
g .'ieti Tbcro motto is " secrecy,
obedience, and mutual assistance."
Of this membership, 03,000 are found

uuiutier are said to be voters. It is

Y phUlips county, in Arkansas, in a
fair election, will give 2,000 Republican
msjority. This county has been carried
by the Bepnblicans by from 2,000 to
2,500 majority since 18CC. By the
Democratic election law of Ibis sUto
the election of county officers is fixed
on the first Monday in September in
order t take it as far away as possible
from the election lor Congressman, fur
the reason that at ' that election tliore
are federal sopertUori to see that ihera
la a faif cotinf. . Aboat . the middle of
Joly the Democratic leaders commenced
organizing military companies. They
hare also publicly announced that, they
intend'to have the county at all hazards.
Some of the companies have been furn
ished arms by the b talc, and otho-s
provided their rown arrast At a
recent muster nearly S00 white men
were ander arms. This represents near
ly the entire white Democratic vole of
the county. The' Republicans are in
constant fear of loosing their lives. In
their extremity they have offered the
Democrats half of the county officers.'
This has been refused. The Democrats
say they intend to hare all of them. A
prominent Republican writes that un

dngiy tfcat reduction of the number

measure, Geo. Banning had made this
reduction hia specialty. Others had
laid their claims for endorsement by
their constituents on their views aud

Uoa, or tne labor question,, or me
cilnese question. . Mr Banning risked
all on his efforts to reduce the emolu-
I mentsand tne numbers or Uie Army.
And with this issue clearly defined, he
i was not even "uww ovuuiwmuii ij

sist on the 10,000 basis ! Mr. Banning
must see that it would hare been im
possible to satisfy his late guides; lie
must also see that there is no public
sentiment for the task on which he has
wasted his labors. Daring the remain
der of his ' term he might wisely we
think,, abandon the policy that has
been so useless and fatal to him; and
use the large knowledge he has acquir
ed of Army legislation in the direction
of a harmonious and rational plan of
Army rehabilitation; not of Army de
struction, lie has expended the better
part of four years on a quest which
both for his own and his country's in

in part repair his past mistake, so far
as the good of the Army andhe coptJ
