Win© publishes the following: The urgency of friends whose judgment I respect, and my own taste hare besn averse to any notice of the statement In regard to myself attributed to William Lamb, of Wopfolk, in various newspapers recently pufclished. But reiterated rumors at a contemplated duel between him an myself, accompanied by the assertion of fresh insult offered by hiin to me, have been so widely circulated as to render It necessary for me, who, as a public servant, boors distinct relations and responsibilities to society to publish this card. It ia not true, as stated in many newspapers, that I have ever had a quarrel with William Lamb. It is true, as I have discovered, not by application to himsalf, with wham I can have no communication, bat to tritmd* in Norfolk, whither I went for the purpose, that In a public speech, delivered there during the recent canvass he stated that he had been told that I was guilty of immoralities, which will net undertake to repeal This emihated from him, let it be added, without previous provocation from me, outride of my oongreesional district, where my claims for congressional honors ware in no sense an appropriate subject for discussion. A discriminating public will hold me blameless when, under circumstances like these and impelled bya supreme and righteous indignation, I iepart from the even tenor of my way to declare the charge referred to utterly false and baseless, in whole and in part, the author of it an infamous liar, and ths purveyor of the scandal to the public ear a filthy scoundrel, fit only for the soar* and oontsoapt of all honorable gentleman. I have stated that I have never had a quarrel with William Lamb, and I oan have none with him now or hereafter, because be is a blackguard in more sensss than as the promulgator of baseless scandal, and a coward in more views than in causing, as tha report of his townsmen has it, his own arrest to escape a dud which he pretended to accept.

Ike lines of ths pitchers' box were discussed at length, but final action was not reached. There waa also a loog discussion as to what restrictions should bs placed upon coachtra. The rale adopted was Oat which haa been in vogue in'the American association during the past year, which keeps the ooachsr within a limited square of spacs near first or third base, and prevents his going anywhere near the batman's or catcher's line. It Is expected a rule will be adopted which will prevent a coaoher openiug his lips save to direot the players of his team. Several other alteration* of minor importance were made. Wednesday the annual meeting of the Ha- j tional League will convene. • 1 BaU May bo Ul CIlMIM Brooklyn, Nov. 16.—The congregation of the Fort Green Presbyterian church, which was brought into so much prominence by the trial of its pastor, Rev. Benjamin Staunton, on the charge of conduct unbecoming a minister, met in the little church Inst evening to consider their pastor's resignation. The meeting was exceedingly lively from beginning to end and closed with a tie vote, so that Mr. Staunton is still In possession of his pulpit. . W. L. Hope, Sr., a trustee of the church, presided. The resignation of the pastor was read. It was dated Oct 84, and is to take effect when his salary has been paid in full ChicjlOo, Thrr. 18.—Only 9,000 of the strikers were taken back to work to-day at ths stock yards. This action of ths packers Is explained In various ways. First, there are bnt about 90,000 hogs In the yards, and only a small force will be needed for a day or two, and then it is stated the packers do not care to employ a large number of men until • th*y are sssured that the . men are • acting ia good faith. On* packer stated he had learned that tha men had planned to strike again on the 94th. Some of the strikers say that the packers an working a bluff came. They want all the old men back, baAtey have begun taking tfcera back slowly Sorter to make the skilled botchers, who stand aloof, ready and anxious to return through fear of losing their places permanently. Armour ft Co. said that they only took back a small number of the old men as the force at their packing houfes was nearly full They said they intended to keep til the new men at work as long as they Srlshnd to remain. The legislature of the island is composed of two elective houses. The lower house is called the legislative assembly, the franohise for which ■ant in the ooaetitutloc for taking money Irotn one trade and giving it to another. There is no room under the constitution for inch vagaries a* those of Henry George. The followers of George forget that we have an established government here. It was a very strange experience for an American to come across the oontinent of Europe, seeing on his way the people ground under the iron heel o( despotism, and then to arrive in New York and be told that America, of all others, h the MM. where the laboring man is oppresA The constitutional convention is srimsMdng to be dewputly thankful for. It will prove to be tile safety valve where theorists can blow off -steam. The hayseeds can be trusted to see. that none of the vagaries are engrafted the organic law. is manhood suffrage, the upper house, the legislative council, the franohise for which is restricted to property holders. The issue in the recent elections was the abolition of the council. The Conservatives desired to have it abolished on the score of eoonomy, while the liberals demanded its retention. In the campaign the Liberals appealed, to the property holders to rally to the support of the council and protect themselves against the "floating population," as it was pat—or, in other words, against the legislation of the popular body, elected by manhood • suffrage. As the result of the eUcttOA shows, this was done, and henoe the liberal victory. W. C. Hope, Jr., a fiery young man. moved that the resignation be accepted. W. L. Cowl moved an amendment that Mr. Staunton be asked to leave the church at onoe, and that the resignation take effect Deo. L Elder James Watt, who championed Mr. Taunton's cause throughout the trial, made a speech in opposition to accepting the resignation. He said the charges which were brought before the presbytery were simply street rumors. It would be the worst thing the church could do to accept the resignation. Mr. Watt was applauded. Those Democrats who expect the George movement to hurt the Democratic party in 1888 are needlessly gloomy. The seeds of illmmhw odat tn the new movement, and will ml ft asunder. But it behooves the Democradc party to redress real grievances wherever found. Nine bills passed the Democratic house last winter in the interest of labor, but only two of them got through the senate. If wo are wounded, however, we mast oh« tbe wound; we most emancipate labor by the reform of the tariff. I.ncky Choctaws. Washington, Not. 1&—A decision la nodered in the supreme court of the United States in the case of the Choctaw nation against the United States, involving a claim of more tban $8,000,000 in Ilea of lands due to the Choctaws under treaty stipulations, bat never granted to them. ITiis caw «a brought to the supreme court on appeal froma Judgment of 1400,000 allowed the Choctaws by the court of claims. The final result as decldad by the supreme court is Oat the Choctaw nation is entitled to (3,800,000 in addition to (350,000 already paid under the court of claims decision on aooount of the p.1 Aim Many other packers also say the same, toot : It is believed the problem of disposing of the : new men will soon solve itself. The majority at the new men are afraid to stay, and it ia likely itbey will makC3 themselves scarce as soon as the military guard is removed. Hie lending packers have pledged them protootion and iwrmanent work, bat they know the old men have a bitter feeling against them, and will make their life at the yards m* endurable. Mr. Cowl spoke again in favor of getting Mr. Staunton out "The finances wete behind," he said, "and were getting worse. The church would be unable to pay its debt or its expenses even. The people were disgusted. They couldnt listen to what was not pore from the pulpit. The presbytery, by its action, had implied that the congregation liked such things as were heard at the trial. If the members of the church bad stood up like men Staunton would never have been sent back." Mr. Cox was enthusiastically cheered. Quito a number hare quit work and were escorted out of the yard* and to a safe distance by the soldiers. More will donbtlsss leave today, and It in freely predicted that in a week or so lew if atiy non-union men will be'found at -vork. All the strikers taken back are compelled to sign a paper in which tliey agree not to leave their Work without giving their employers two weeks' notice. On the other kand the packer! agree not to discharge any of their men without giving ■ them two weeks' notice. To still farther b&vl the agreement each man la required to deposit $60 with his employer, this sum to be gradually taken out of his wages. One effect of the strike was demonstrated by a dispatch received by a leading packer; from one of his best customers in the cast, saying that the customer was baying his beef on the hoof, and should not require any more dressed beet It is 'stated that dis- I ntches to this effect are beginning to arrive in quantities that threaten to greatly affect the di ussirl beef trade with the east Although good order prevails at the yards and In Packingtown, none of the militia will be released trmn duty for a few days. They -will be relieved by degrees as things settle down to the normal condition. A VERDICT AT LA8T. Am Iuldnl of Grant's Richmond Cam- palga Recalled. " Arthur Oilaon, superintendent of tbe Sunday echool, hoped the resignation would not be accepted. He was sura that no man could preach like Mr. Staunton. The friends of the pastor had given $900 more than those opposed to him. Since the trial Mr. Cfflson said the interest had been greater than it had ever been before, and the ohurch was proapering.Young Mr. Hope proclaimed loudly that the church could not get any aid from the presbytery if Mr. Staunton remained. Mr. Hope, Sr., took np where the son left off, and declared savagely that the most active measures should be taken to oust the Sporting Men Are Interested. WATCHING CONGRESSMEN.
