Herald Cable-Special to Iho llr.K.J The
first regular meet of the sua on of tlie fox
hounds took place to-day. The rendezvous
was llxed at a picturesque spot just outside of
the town known as 1'ondpolnt tics nlles do
Morlnss. The wealhcr was warm , oven
muggy.but the sky quite ovorcastand the day
finally ended In a downpour. Notwithstand
ing the fear of n ducking , however , a largo
throng ot people had assembled on foot and
In carriages to see the hounds throw off. The
number of those who had come out to hunt
themselves wns. on the contrary , unusually
small In comparison with other years.nnd with
the exception of the master , Sir Victor
Brooke , the huntsman and whip , nobody
bportcd the traditional pink.
AMONG Tin : I.ADIP.S

M. Motrilon also took out
a parly on his mall coach , which Is now the
only ono left lu 1'au , Mr. Foibes Morgan
being away hunting in England , Mr. Foster
gene to Uomo for the winter , and llaron
Dcsto having had the heart to leave his line
propelty at ISllheies to spend thu season In

\Vliilewaltlngattlioment I heard many
pleasant allusions to Dr. Green's marilagc
at ] ( licenwood yesterday to Miss Hewitt ,
daughter of New York's new mayor. "If
that horse could only speak what volumes
ho'd ' have to tcllr" Bald Larregalne , as ho
stood by holding Dr. Green's old horse ,
Flames , that for four years carried him so
brilliantly In his first flight at the 1'au hunt.
' " 1 bat's nil well " said
veiy , n young lady ,
regretfully , "but why couldn't Grccu have
got married and como back to 1'au , too ? "
"Oh , but ho wouldn't bo half so nice , now ,
you know , " chaffed her companion.
It was now precisely a quarter past 12.
nnd , at n signal from Sir Victor , the hunts
man , Tom llalsey , blew hU horn and took
the hounds at a brisk trot to the place where ,
at the commencement of the day , the scent
was laid.

THE HOUNDS DASHHD OKF
at once with a quick buiat. After n half
dozen fairish jumps , taken In full view of the
carriages , hounds nnd riders rapidly dlsap-
penicd fiom sight. The line was a good one ,
. -taicing us alomc tlio Landcs du 1'ont Long
and up tlio Sorres deMorlnas hill , leaving the
wood on tlio right. After a short check on
the top of the hill the hounds again
took up the scent , lan through Bullion ,
Jispcchcd and Sedzorc , running Into the fox
at Gnbaston. The pace , which at liist was
only steady , became quite hot toward tlie last
part. Tliero was considerable comlni : tc
grief , and but live were up at the tinlsh.
Atter waiting n few moments to sen tlio fo >
broken up nnd the brush and pads distrlb
uted , we rodu back to Morkias , whither several
oral of the ladles had driven on to meet U !
and order lunch. Thus merrily ended a caj > -

no drag , Sir Victor intending to try and
draw the covers around the Lascar ami

Arot-RTA , Me. , Nov. 10. The following
letter will bo published here to-morrow :
To the Kdltor of the Kwincbcc Journal : !
thank you for calling my attention to the cir
cular Issued by tlio so-called independent
committee during the lecent canvass In .Mas
sachusetts touchlui ; my position on civil ser
vice refoim. Absence from homo for several
weeks has prevented my seeing It sooner.
The circular embodies a singular
perversion of what I said and a
still moro Mnsnlnr peiversion of what I
yuotcd In a speech on the 1'Jth of October , at
Huntlngtou. I'a. How tlio cnor of mlsroi > -
resentatlon originated , it Is not for mo to
say.d.My sneeehcs In 1'minsylvanla were ac-
piiintcly reported for tlie 1'liilndelphla 1'iess
by skilled stenographers , and 1 personally
saw tint report in no other paper. I send
you herewith my speech of October
Hi , as It appealed In the 1'rcsx ,
nnd lespectfully ask you to republish It In
your columns side by side with the circular
Issued by the Massachuseets Independent
committee. I than ! ; you I ml her tor sub
mitting to me the public letter of October
'M from .Mr. Martin Itrimmer ,
of Boston , in which I m ac
cused of "rnpudiatlni ; the reform of
the civil service with n sneer. " Perhaps Hilm-
mer Inconsiderately based his lemnrks upon
the circular of the Independent committee.
MHI has thus been led Into publishing n state
ment which does mo great Injustice. If my
supposition is correct , Brimmer will , as a
gentleman , withdraw his language. It Is
scarcely necessary to say Iliat I have never
repudiated lelorm In the civil service ,
nor abated my Interest therein. Nor
mvo 1 ever regarded a sncor as a
I'orclblo mode ot argument. Were
1 tempted to lesort to it I should direct
it , not against relorm of the civil service , but
against tlio hypocrisy of those who wish tlio
conditions of that service to bo enforced
nznlnst their political opponent , but not
against Iliolr political friends. Tlio point
which 1 sought to establish in my speech at
Ituntlngton was entirely confused and ob
scured In the Independent circular , lu elfect
I said that tlio ICnglish civil service , which
was held up as n model for
our own coverniucnt by those
who left the icpubllcan party
two years ago , Is now under such Investiga
tion and apparent condemnation by the
Er.nllsli themselves that the British ministry
have instituted a commission to examine into
the alleged abuses : that George W. Smalley ,
apparently agreeing hitherto with tlio
American admiicis of the English service ,
now declares the belief in England to bo that
their civil service is worse in all departments
of tliogovorniuuntthan it was forty years aso.
Smalley gives a somewhat detailed recital of
tlio defects and abuses alleged to exist In the
English service defects and abuses which
were never attributed to our own civil ser
vice oven by Its most merciless censor. My
argument implied and was intended to imply
that tlio lepublican party had been wise in
not adopting the English system , witli its liin
tenure nud its largo pension list and nil
attendant evils. which linvo at last
demanded Investigation by a ministerial com
mission , nor would justice and lair courtesy
have been done to mv speech , even if my re-
mniks on the civil service , torn fiom their
logical connection , had been eorrcctlv quoted
by the independent committee. Those re
marks were but a part of an argument In
which I endeavored to illustrate how trulv
\merican in its best sense were tlio whole
policy and history of the republican
natty , and how , under tlio head of
the so-called Independents , tlio democratic
paity. both In its revenue system and In Its
civil seivico rules , was to bo conformed to
British policies just at the very time when
British abuses are finding a fatal weakness
in these policies. In short , though I did not
say so In words , I meant to convey my
belief that tlio very worst leaders and
guides lor a continental republic arc
these who persist In seeing the perfection 01
human government in an insular monarchy
whoso conditions are in all respects radically
dllTeieiit from those of our own broad laud.
Massachusetts Independents should leain
that American inspiration ends where imita
tion ol'Eugllsli begins. Very lespectfully ,

CntrAoo , Nov. 10. [ Special Telegram to
the 15KK.J The procrnmmo of yesterday
was repeated at tlio stock yards to-day. The
superintendents , representing the various
packers , met the assembled workmen nt the
Iiolnts designated In the sheriff's order , And
selected such ns they wished to have resume
work to-day. It Is somewhat humiliating to
strikers who have been so boastful to hnvo
to leturn after nil , and allow the packers to
cull them as they would stock , but they stand
It manfully. More of the old workmen were
taken In than on yesterday , nnd perhaps 40
per cent of the cmplojes engaced In the
strike are now back within tlio packing
houses. The sold lei s were used Mils morn-
lug as bcfoio to clear the viaducts and dis
perse the largo crowds at the entrances who
were not wanted There was no resistance
and very little bad feellnn. The old men
would shout to tlio militia : "You're all
right : wo used to wear the blue coats nnd
bra-is buttons ourselves. "
Not a few of the younirer men were heard
to remaik : "Wo have liad euoiich of tills
Idleness. If we get to work now It will bo
some tlmo before wo will again obey orders
to milt woik , "
All Is not lovely In the unclclnc houses.
Very many of the old butchers taken buck
aio stubbornly llghtim ; tlio iron-clad agree
ment of tliu packets. Many have refused to
sign it , and qiiito a force in Swift's walked
out when tlio binding contract was tiiosentcd
to them. At the house of Nelso Jforris an
other disagreement lias arisen. The packer
proposes to pay by the hour and to pay only
lor time actually worked. Heretofore if tlio
men reported for tlio day and had but two or
three hours' wink they got full time. The
men who went to work for .Morris yesterday
accepted the new deal and are at work to
day , but these who were selected to return to
woik to-day sent a committee to Mr. Morris
to say that thcv would not outer the liouso
unless paid tor full time , and they did not go
to woik. It is probable that to-morrow will
witness the return of the soldiers from the
stock yards.

Cmc.vno , Nov. 10. | Special Telegram to
he BBI.J : The national vetcilnnry and san-
Uiry association to-day , after two hours'
, vork , adjoinued to meet at 7no : p. m. in
order that an opportunity might be enjoyed
by the members to attend the cattle growers
convention. The commlttco on investigation
reported "that the disease now prevalent
among the cattle In distillery stables and
elsewhere in Chlcnso and vicinity is conta
gious pleuro-pueomonla lung plague , or
linger senclie , which termsjaro synonymous ,
and your committee Is further of the opinion
that the only way In which the Infected lo
calities can bo freed from the infection is by
slatightcrof all diseased and exposed animals
and n careful disinfection of the infected
premises. "
Dr. Hopkins , of Wyoming , offerd the fol
lowing , which was referred to the committee
on resolutions :
Whereas , contagious pleuro-pnouiuonia of
Battle exists In certain restricted localities of
tlio United States ; and
Whereas , Inoculation Ss being practiced in
certain states as a preventive measure and Is
being advocated for general adoption ; and
Whereas , the experience ot other nations
has shown that this contagion Is prevalent In
localities whore inoculation is practiced , and
that Inoculated cattle are dangerous to other
animals with which they alterward cohabit ;
and Whereas , the veteilnary profession of
Europe condemns Inoculation except in lo
calities that are thoioughly Infected and
whoio no effort is being made to extirpate tlio
phujtio : therelorobe it
Itesolved by this convention of veterinary
and state sanitary boards , That , considering
the limited territory Infected in this country ,
every effort should bo directed to a thorough
eradication of. this disease from America ; and
be it lurtlicr
Itesolved , That wo consider inoclation to
bo an oxtiemely dangerous and objectionable
practice in tlio present condition of allair.s in
tills country , and ono which should bo dis
counted by the veterinary profession nnd bo
prohibited by law ns long as tliero is a possi
bility of stamping out the disease.
An effort was made to suppress these reso
lutions , and they will meet with much opposi
tion when brought to passage.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 10. [ Special Telegram
to the UIK. I A good deal of agitation exists
among members of conaress In the city to
night over the revelations made In the pollco
Investigation now progressing here , and a
congressional inquiry Is threatened. One
southern member has been seriously com-
proml > cd by the testimony taken , and a great
deal of sympathy Is expressed by his fellow
statesmen. It has been shown In the Invcs-
tlgatioH that Major Walker , the superintend
ent of police , recently Instructed his lieuten
ants to shadow members of congress who
weio In the habit of frequenting disreputable
portions of the city , so that the Information
might bo used In socurlni ; legislation favora
ble to the police force. The older was In
tended to bo conlldcntlal , but it leaked out
through Lieutenant Arnold and It reached
the ears of the president , nnd hence an inves
tigation is now going on. Walker denies
giving such an order , but the testimony
of the pollco refute the explanation
which ho makes to tlio elTcct that ho
Intended to simply call for all information the
police could net in favor of his request for an
increase of tlio force. It Is said that Ike
Hill , deputy sorgeant-at-iirius of the house ,
has Ircquontly , when there is a call of the
house at night , gene to n bawdy house
which Is maintained for congressmen , and
found members and brought them out , liut
little stress is generally put upon the threat
to have a congressional investigation of tills
affair. Once before , when Whltliouse , of
Tennessee , was chaliman of the committee
on naval affairs , and llobesou's administra
tion of tlio navy was under circumspection ,
such an investigation was threatened , but
was choked off. Congressmen are now
threatening to cut elf appropriations for the
police unless their skirts are cleared of all

A number of labor agitators aw hero
ninkini : arraimcmcuts for a formal and
tniciblc demand lor an extra session ot con
gress to consider labor questions. Colonel
Kdward Daniels , editor of "Our Country , " a
New York labor organ , is loading the move
ment , and of Ids purposes said lo-niiht :
"Tho first great duty of organized labor at
this moment is to demand resolutely respect
ful and deliberate consideration at the hands
of congress. Nearly all the evils and disa
bilities which American labor now suffers
can ho remedied or ameliorated by national
legislation. They are nearly all directly
traceable to the monopoly of the soli , to a
currency system which makes exchanges
of property and services difficult and
expensive , and to the schemes of transporta
tion which makes tax production ,
consumption and travel Qiiormous in the in
terest ot private and corporate greed. The
remedies are simple and direct. The land
must bo restored and the way to acquire
homes made easy. .Money must bo made ac
cessible ut tlio lowest r.itc.of Interest to all
who need it by government loans to tlio people
ple and the states to pay tholr debts , save
their homes from forced sales and enable tlio
people to buy and sell freely and thus to con
sume largely each other's products. Trans
portation must bo made to servo tlio people
at cost under government control. Taxation
must bo reduced and the hoards in the na
tional treasury paid out for Its debt and for
needed public work to employ the idle work
ers. These are the great measures upon which
organized labor is coming ton full agreement.
ISut what holn is there ? Not ono of them
can be considered even In the rush and hurry
of n regular session of congress. Tlio last ses
sion continued cluht months and with earn
est professions upon their lips , the members
allowed every distinctive- labor measure to bu
crowded out. We are now near the opening
ot tlio short session , which expires by limita
tion on tlio 4th of March , 1637. The routine
business will occupy all its thiitecn weeks
and it is folly for us to look to It for any de
cisive measure of iclief. An extra session of
the new congress will alone meet the exigen
cy. All the forces of labor should concen
trate to secure this. They should appeal to the
picsident to call the new congress to meet as
soon as possible utter the 4th of Match , or
ganize and consider the needs of labor. The
session should bo a gr.uul inquest upon tlio
condition of work and workers in this land.
Upon it should bocoiicentrated all the blazing
llulit of modern knowledge. To it should
come tlio representative men of organized
labor to voice Its demands. Such a session
will tiring deliverance from all ills and it the
people demand the president will grant It. "

Ills Itccotnmcitilntlnii'J For
the Htutc Mllltln.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 10. In his annual re
port of the oporatlous-of his ollico during the
pastycar , Adjutant General Drum devotes
some space to recommendations touching
the Improvement of thu militia , and makes
the following recommendations : State en
campments , to bo of absolute bcnelit , should
at least bo of ten days' duration , and while
established at convenient points , looking to
economy In the concentration of troops ,
should bo at a sulllclotit distance from tlio
homes of the members of the command In
order to overcome business and social Intlu-
Gticc.1 , which seriously affect the efforts of Im
parting Instruction and holding tlio men in
hand for drills , target practice , guard duty ,
etc. Tlio programme of military exercises
should exclude elementary company drills ,
and the time of the encampment devoted to
Instruction and practice In skirmish and bat
talion drills and guard duty. As
most of the fUhtiu ? in future
must bo dona In open order
thorough acquaintance of the skirmish drill
Is of the highest Importance. Olllcers should
bo required to recite UDOII ttio duties
of guards and sentinels and In
struction In guard duties bo given to tlio
men in the armories. So far as tlio fatigue
uniform or dress for field service is con
cerned It would be advantageous for the
authorities of each state to prescribe a simple ,
plain but serviceable fatigue uniform for all
Its troops , to which tlio companies might
gradually conform within a limited time-
say one year. This is not Intended to Interfere -
fero with the right of each command to
wear such lull dress uniform as It may
have selected for wear on lovlews , parades
and oilier occasions ot pure ceremony.
Obsolete arms and ammunition In tlie handset
ot state troops should be replaced by im
proved cuns of thtt-samo pattern as In the
lianas of the regular army and suitable am
munition provided. Exhibition drills , while
interesting as showing to what degree of
mechanical precision a body of men eiu : bo
trained to attain In movements and motions ,
are undesirable features of military corps.
In every instance tlie development of ex-
tronio. smartness in drills involves a neglect
of some of the most important and solid
parts of a soldier's training.
Tlio repoit on target practice at the Maine
encampment is most creditable to the troops
participating and demonstrates what results
can bo obtained from careful instruction and
practical d elnline in tills lintmitnnt service.
Tlio great want Is a tliorougn course of in
struction prescribed from state headquaiters
and rigidly insisted upon , and tlio establish
ment in each state of a board before which
Incompetent ofllcers could bo broimht for
their elimination from the militia ser
vice of the state. Every ollicer
elected should , bcfoio appointed , bo subject
to examination byaboaidof ( iflicersof which ,
if possible , regimental and brUado ofllcers
nnd inspectors ieiieral.s should bo members.
Tlio material composing the militia of tlio
several states Is generally excellent and zeal
ous , and intelllzence the rule , but tlio former
must lie wisely directed and the latter syste
matically cultivated. The adjutant general
says tlio reports of army ollicers perform
ing tlio duties of professors of
tactics and military sciences at
military colleges shows a steadily gi owing In
terest In military Instruction asovidenced br
the increased peicentago of students attend
ing drills , etc. , ami a decree of the appiecia-
tlon ol tlio value ot tlie system on the part of
tlio collejo authorities The aptitude of
American scholars for military exercise is
undoubtedly pood. The adjutant general
says that in order to bo thoioughly elllcient ,
the ollicc''s detailed ns instructors in mil
itary science should bo made mem
bers of tlio faculties of tlio
institution with which they serve.
Attention is called to tlio loss to tlio govern
ment arising from the frequency of applica
tions for discharge from tlie army , ami the
report suggests that , it would bo an impro
priety to enact legislation making discharges
conditional to reimbursement to thu govern
ment of tlie oxponsu of recruiting and
transportation except In cases where the Ions
and laithful service of tlio applicant convoys
an element of favorable consideration.
Itegret is expressed at tlio reduction of the
appiopnatlons as compared with tlio esti
mates for tlio support of tlio military
prison at Fort Leavenwoith , and
It is said Hint as a result
scarcely any progress lias been made
In bringing Its capacity tea point required to
ntl'ord accommodations and profitable em
ployment for all the military prisoners who
should in proportion bo sent there. Tlio
money value of the work performed by the
prisoners in manufactures was feyy.syu , which
was within S50 of all the expenses of the
prison for the yo.ir , iiml the opinion is ex-
piessed that the prison will soon bo self-sup
porting. In regard to tlio unsatisfactory
quality of shoes manufactured in tlio prison
It is stated tint tlie trouble arose tiom de
fective lasts and in tlio details of construc
tion that have. It is believed , been remedied.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 10. Delegates repre
senting seventeen fraternal societies with
a membership of SoO.uuO met at the Itiggs

was adopted , of which the principal provi
sion is that none but legitimate liatornal
beneficiary societies working under a ritual

object of tlio congress is to organize

Si'ittNorir.M ) , III. , Nov. 10. Tlio following
Important bill was filed before ,1ud o Crelgli-
ton , of the circuit couit to-day , wlt'i ' nn order
that It bo docketed and the attorney general
itiled lo answer within llueo days :
State ot Illinois , Satig.imon county.
To the Hon. James A. Creiuhlon , one of
the judges of the circuit court In clinuivty
sitting : Your orator , I'hcclnn Howard , a
rttlzcn and taxpayer , o Vormlllion
county , stale ot Illinois , respectfully
showeili : That at n legular session ol tlio
general assembly of said slate , to-wll : on Iho
-'Olli dnv ot iliine , lv , the following lolnt
resolution was passed and nnptoved oy the
senate and liouso respectively :
Itosolvod , That hereaiter It shall bo unlaw
ful for the commissioners of any penitentiary
or leformntory Institution In Illinois to let
by contract to any person or persons , or cor
poration the labor of any convict collned In
said institution.
That said roolutton was by proper procla
mation submitted to the electors ot saul state
on the HI day ot November , 1SST > , : m an
amendment to the constitution : and your
orator does and has reason to believe that a
innlorlty of the electors at said election i'a < t
their ballots In favor of snld lesolutloii and Its
limitations. Yourointor , usnlawahldlnceit-
l/.en nnd n ro < s | ortor of the organle law
of the state , con clciitlomly believes thai the
manner of tlie submission of said lesolution
Is in matter and form averse to the constitu
tion. First , 'odious II and VI of article It
of the constitution , provides how the same
shall be alteted , tovised or amended , and In
the closing sentence of section 2 , posi
tively deelares that tlie general assembly
shall have no power to propose aiuendment.s
to iiioio than 0110 article ol tlio constitution
at the same session , nor lo tlie same aiticlo
ofteiierthan oueo In suven years. Secondly ,
the act of the general assembly glvlnc
vitality and effect to lids clauo of
the constitution is entitled Chapter
7 , nnd was approved March 14 ,
Ib74- Section 4 of said chapter
leads ns follows : "At such election on the
ballot of each elector voting upon the pro
posed amendment or argument shall bo written -
ton or printed the words : 'For proposed
amendment to section of arllclo of
the constitution , ' or 'Atralnst the pioposed
amendment to section of article ot
tlio constitution. ' " Your orator has dill-
izently searched tlio constitution and nowhere -
where finds any reference to penal or
reformatory institutions , or any article or
section even by Implication alluding to con
vict labor , and therefore Is ol tlio belief that
Raid resolution Is not geimano to any article
or section of the constitution , and although
ratified by tlie ucople should bo held
as null and void. Your orator avers
nnd is preiiaieil to show that there
was no uniformity In the method and
manner of submitting said icsolution to tlio
electors of the state ; that in violation ol the
statute ceitniii ballots weto piesented and
voted containing only the words "For pro
posed amendments , ' ' other ballots contained
the words "For proposed amendment and
agninst the pioposed iimeiulment , " and a train
other ballots contained Iho winds "For , " and
then recited the resolution in full. Your
orator further believes that it was never the
In'.eutof ' the frameis of the constitution to
delegate to the general assembly the power to
add on joint resolution the separata and dis
tinct proposition us an amendment to the
constitution , for If it be construed , what is to
prevent each succeeding general assembly
trom adding orginal , separate and distinct
propositions , ono after another , to tlio con
stitution till finally it would bo utterly des
troyed. Therefore , your orator prays
lor tlio Issuance under the seal
of your honorable circuit court
of a restraining writ of Injunction directed
to Charles 1' . Swigeit , auditor of state ;
Heniy D. Dnmcfnt , secretary of slate ; .laco'j
Gross , treasurer of state , and Geonso Hunt ,
attorney general , tlie regulaily constituted
board of canvassers of said ballots cast for
Iho resolution hero set "forth , that the
same .shall not bo counted nor
the total of votes footed tip and also
directed to Kiehard O. Oglesby , governor ,
that ho may bo restrained from Issuing any
proclamation declaring that said resolution
has become pail of tlie constitution and lethe
the end that said constitution may bo pre
served from violence , and the statute may in
pursuance thereof bo protected and defended.
And jour orator will pray , etc.
