An exchange publishes a letter from a cor respondent dealing In a very intelligent manner with the question of wages of railroad employes. He says : Under the head of "editorial comments" in the November number of the Traveler Official Guide, an article entitled "rail way engineers and their wages," appears to have been written by some one who was either very one sided in his views or else did not care to admit the whole truth; in fact he conceals very important statements lavoraDie 10 me engineers. Several such articles having appeared in the Guide and other publications, it At a 2 Ä A seems to . ce tne rigns nine tu publish to the world the truth of the mat ter, and let the public judge. Now, I am not, never have been, nor never expoti io be a locomotive engineer, and as I have been for years employed in active rauroaa service where I was in daily con tact with engineers, I believe I can give ex parte evidence. ior the benefit or those wno are noi iniormeu, a win mention that with few exceptions locomo tive engineers are paid by the mile, not by the month, consequently when busines is dull these men süßer more in proportion than their em plovers,the railroad companies. This important fact is very carefully concealed by these persons who take such delight in traducing the engineers. These writers not only take great care to parade the statement that the roads are doing a poor business not able to pay interest are gen erally in a poverty-stricken condition, eta, etc., but take s'ill more pains to conceal the fact that, such being the case as regarus tne roads, the engineers are in a suffering con dition, or at best, are barely able to . - MAKE BOTH ENDS MEET. Managers can have meetings, lay plans, and proceed to enforce starvation wages upon their employes, or raise freight and passenger rates 23 per cent., and not a word be sa! J against any or all of their arrangements; but let the ' engineers "protest most earnestly against any reductiou, and it is proclaimed from Maine to Mexico by these toadies of the press, call us it "an effort at tyranny," "an outrage upon justice," and speak of the "language of dictation" &Bif an American ireeman had not the right to protest against that which he knew would bring watit and suffering to his wife'and children. Speaking ot the pro test, the writer in the Guide says: "If these words mean anytbine, they mean the locomotive engineers know bet ter than all other persons the financial condition of all railroad companies that they kno letter than the managers and accounting officers what their receipts and expenditures are, and therefore they are the best authority as to what wages the various companies can and ought to pay." Now, this is all bosh, (and the writer knows it), written to pieasa certain stock holders and officials, and to delude the public. The locomotive engineers do know what their own receipts and expenditures are, and therefore they are the best authority as to what are the lowest wages they can support themselves and families on. Quoting again, the writer says, "the man who drives an engine has no more right to demand from a railroad company a certain nxea. sum ot mone for his services, than the widow and orphan have to demand the dividends upon their stock," etc., etc. It is plain if the writer knew anything at all about what he was writing, he knew that the locomotive engineers, as a rule, do not get, nor do not ask tor a "certain fixed sum ot money for their services," nor do they ak for an advance in their wages; they expect when business is dull to putter the consequences. still they do not want their wages cut down to such a low figure rU RIJ5Q THE BUST SEASON, that when the s'.ack soasou Is at hand they will not have the means of support. Another favorite plan ot these writers is to hunt up Borne engineer who, by force of circum stances, has been running night and day for the greater part ot a month, probably not having lasen on nis ciotnes pair a dozen times, who bad to sleep on his engine and get along with one or two meals per day du.lng most of that time, They find that by this extraordinary enduranco on his part be has earned possibly S140. Without counting out any for doctor's bills, they multiply this sum by 12 and declare that all engineers get princely salaries, ranging from 1,600 to $2,000 per annum. Why is it not as well to state that dur ing the slack season they do not average 8(50 per month? or why do not they have at least honor enough to mention that engines frequently neod repairs, and when his engine is laid up the engineer must take hischancf a to make even his board during the month or six weeks that bis engine is idle. It lo comotive engineers are the villainous set that these traducers would have the public believe, the truth will be bad enough, and by sticking to it, thess writers may stand a better chance ol avoiding the fate mentioned in the 21st chapter of Revelations, latter Laif oi Slli verse.

HORRIBLE REVELATIO'S -THE SENSATION H "FLINT, MICHIGAN THE EXCITEMENT AND THREATS OF VENGEANCE. The Chicago Times of the 2Sth ult. gives a long t ccount of a horrible discovery at Flint, Mich., from which the following facts are taken: A story which is so hideous and frightful in its details as almost to be beyond belief has come to light in the town of Flint, Mich. ' There have been efforts on all sides to suppress the tale, and up to this time the public have been kept somewhat in the dark as to the true facts which are about to be narrated. Although from time to time rumors have leaked out, and the state papers have even aflected to give some details of the story, it has remained for the omniprescent Times to uncover the truth and present the mystery In the fall light of its blood-curdling details. Such a story as is . told disgraces the name of humanity, and the traits of character or fiendishness revealed are such as devils themselves must be horrified to see exhibited. It appears that up to within a month back there has been living about three miles from the town in question a family by the name of McNamee, consisting of a lather, an old man 50 or 60 years of age, named Joseph McNamee, a 6on of 20 years, also named Joseph, and another son . called Dr. W. J. McNamee, the latter supposed to be a student at Ann Arbor University, and a daughter whose name Is not given. This family of five have not been held in good repute for many years past, the father having been arrested during the war for running an illicit distillery, and as none of then are known to have done any work Blnce, and yet lived in good shape and had plenty of money, suspicion attac'ied to them, and they were shunned Ir their neighbors and generally considered to be bad characters. Suspicions, however, assumed no definite shape until, a short time ago, stories began to float around to the effect that GRAVES HAD BEEN ROBBED. at the dead of night, portions of bodies and shrouds had been found in different places. Tombs were opened and found to bo despoiled of their sacred ashes. The McNamces, father and son, bad been sejn at suspicious hours in the proximity of the grave-yard, and suddenly it becama clear that the whole family had existed for years by the horrible, shocking, remorseless crime of bodr-natcbing. They had the contract to supply the medical school of Ann Arbor, Mich., with subjects, and in the prosecution of their cboulish trade they spared no cemeteries in the surrounding counties, and bad no care tor the feelings of any father, mother, son or daughter. Scarcely was a grave dry, and its still untainted occupant lelt in his last quiet sleep, before these vampires were " hovering over tho damp clay and snatching the body 'from; its peaceful rest. Old and respected citizens, young girls and little children, young men in the prime of their years, and grandmothers in their white hair were taken from the abode where their sorrowing friends had laid them down, and were borne to the houses of this company of monsters, hastily thrown into the oat bin? in the stable, and lelt there until opportunity ottered to ship them off. The first discovery of the business of the McNamees was made by a farmer named Goodrich, living in the neighborhood. One night not long since he had been to attend a grange meeting, and was detained until midnight. 'On his way home he had to pass what is Known a3 the old grave-yard in Flint, and it was well nigh one o'clock when ho . reached it. Just before arriving there he was scrprised to see " a team coming toward him, and on drawing nigh discovered that there were four occupants, these were McNamee, the elder, sitting on one side of the seat, Joe, the yountrer boy, driving; the girl reclining in the back part of the wagon, and A FOURTH FIGURE sitting between the young and old man on the wagon seat. This latter woro a black hat and clothes, and did not speak in re sponse to the inquiry of Goodrich. No wonder, ior It was the dead bedy of a young man named Wilbur Hill, eighteen years ot age, who had been buried that very day in the old cemetery. A number ot spades and picks were lying in the wagon, and the girl was dressed in men's clothes. Goodrich noticed this, and bis suspicions were aroused. lie communicated his discovery to neighbors, and the grave was opened and the bedy found to be gone. The matter was taken up by the father of the youtn, and be made investigation and found the body of his son at Ann Arbor. Subsequently an attack was made on him in a newspaper, it Is asäerted, with the intention of crushing him and hushing up tho story, to which he replies in the following communication, which gives some further facts relative to the first discovery: "My son, Wilbur, was seventeen years and eight months old. He died and was buried in Whigville cemetery on the 23d of October, and I reside lis miles from that burylng-grountt. I was sent word the next day by Mr. Milo Goodrich, of Burton, to look at my son's grave, as ho mc t the McNamees the night previous with shovels, etc., in their wsRons, coming from thecemetcry, (The McNamee family had long been

suspected of body-snatcfJing from the

ciouunz oi tne- dead being recognized on them and their having plenty of money wunout seeimnjr. to work for it.) I got Messrs. Robert Day and Ilirarn and John Clapsaddle to accompany me to the grave, which had not any appearance of being disturbed, but as my wife felt so badly about it, I determined to satisfy her by getting her some of his hair, and proceeded to dig, and found the colli a split in three pieces and the body gone. I gut Officer Crego and a starch warrant, and searched McXamee'a house, where I found my , DEAD BOY'S PANTS and vest that were buried on him the day before. Officer Crego and myself then went to Ann Arbor College, and were shown through the dead-house by Dr. Frothinjihani, who said kindly he did not want to hurt my feelings, but if I jrould go home he would try and ünd the body and send it to Flint in good shape. On Saturday I got a dispatch from him that he had found it, and I would get it on Monday by express. I had another telegram from him saying that the body could not be shipped until 4 o'clock on Monday afternoon and the body came on Tuesday, all discolored from being in the lye, I suppose. I know nothing of McNamee but by reputation. I never was In his house until I went with the search warrant, neither has he. ever been in mine. I know him by sight, or to pass the time of day, but never was intimate with him. My son was a good, industrious boy, and worked on the farm; and I think the robbery of my child's body was affliction deep enough without the painful aggravation of seeing myself and him so viciously slandered in the public prints by anonymous scoundrels." At the Hill discovery the excitement in Niles became intense, and the elder McNamee was at once arrested, and begged for a double file of officers to frotect him from violence. He is now in ail at Niles. Dr. Wm. J. McNamee, who was in charge of the dead house at Ann Arbor, tied; and .though a reward of 300 has been offered for him, he has not vet been taken. lie sent a letter to the authorities dated White Plains, N. Y., Nv. 20, complaining that his father was in jail for the deeds he had done, and condoning bis crime as a medical necessity. Immediately after the discovery came to light TWO OTHER BODIES OF RECENT DEATHS were missed. Theseweremen by the name of Soper and Allen, and their friend? having instituted search, the mutilated remains were found at the same place in the reooeltory at the Ann Arbor College. When these facts are ascertained, people all around the neighborhood began lo institute the searches that revealed the horrible fact that there was scarcely an unrobbed grave in the cemetery. A little girl Lad, a year before, picked up in the gravef ard a bit of illusion, such as had been worn upon the body of a Mrs. Mary Ingrabam, a lady of high culture, who bad died of consumption. It was noticed at the time, but thought to be a mere coincidence, and now, when these stcrles were reported, was remembered, the grave was opened and found to be emptv, and, strange to say, it was then discovered that the McNamee girl had worn the black silk dress in which the body had been robed, and had other garments that made up a fine wardrobe pilfered from the dead. McNamee had been seen the day of tho funeral peering over the fence and watching the operations of the funeral cortege. STOLEN BY THE INDIANS. THE CAPTIVE CHILDREN RESCUED FROM THE SAVAGES A TERRIBLE &TORY. The correspondent of the New York Herald writing from Staked Plains, Texas, gives the story of the captured German children lately returned to liberty: Your correspondent to-day had a talk with the little girls who have just been rescued from the horrors of their Indian captivity. Their appearance, despite their life among barbarians, is still gentle and engaging, such as is worn by more fortunate children of civiliza tion. The naivete with which the elder of 4he two sisters told their touching story would have penetrated any heart with its simple but awful tempering of pathos. She made her statement as follows: Ms name is Juliana Armiuda German. I am aged seven years. My sister here,Nancy Adeline, is age'd fivo and a half years. My father's name is John German, my mother's Pjthnrin nrrl two rililrr siat.nra O'ithirlna "Elizabeth, aed fifteen years, and Sophie Liewie, aged twelve years. My older sisters are yet with the Indians. I have only Been Catharine since. She told me Sophie was well and among tho Indians. I could bear her voice sometimes, but could not see her ever. They killed pa about three weeks ago on Smoky Hill River, Kansas. He was ging from Georgia, in Fanning county, where we came from, to settle in Colorado. When my lather heard the Indians coming he turned black in the face and could not get bis gun up to shoot. They came and took an axe, alte- taking hold of pa's horse, and struck in the bead, cutting it open. Then they killed my oldest brother, Stephen, and oldest sister, Rebecca Jane. They cut into the heads of all, except my biggest sister, and SCALPED THEM. Then they dragged me out from under the feather bed in tho wagon, where I was with sister. She commenced and set up crying. I crawled in again and went to sleep. I could not cry. There wasn't enough tears in ray eyes. They took all the feathers out of the beds and made pillows out of one of them. They like soft pillows, but they won't have have soft beds. They don't treat me well. They bad plums to eat'the first day fordinner, and after they got through eating they eave us what was left. They . then bridled up the horses and put sister in front of one young buck and mein front of another, on horseback. We were jolted so that . our necks got stiff. After a while they took us out one day and left us on the prairie all alone. I don't know what they did it for. After a while slater and 1 got up and found a wagon trail, and we followed it six miles to where there had been some camping party, and we found gome corn and crackers, with a little grain of meat. We trot an old broken cup and bucket and went to the creek and got some water. (This was in one of the old camps ot the United States troops.) Then some Indians came that day and toon us away again, and put us down in a camp where there were Indian squaws where your soldiers came and found us on the day of the tiring, 'the Indians didn't nave any other fighting while we were with them. We heard the firing but did not hear the jelling. We are getting over our fright. The war department at Washington has received an equestrian statue ot the late Mpjor-General James B. McPherson, who at one time during the civil war commanded tho army of the Tennessee. The statue is by Itob33o, ot Cincinuati, and was executed to tho order of the society of tho army of the Tenne .ee, who collected the subscriptions for It. Among the subscribers are many citizen.! of the town of Clyde, O., where the general was buried, and'they were desirous -hat the monument should be erected there. It was thought, however, that the capital of the nation would be a more appropriate place in which to place it, and Congress will, it is believed, make an appropriation for the baso of the monument and designate a suitable spot for its erection.

A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, writing from Central Pennsylvania, gives the following statement of the horrible flood of crime which at present overspreads the mining regions of the state: A short time ago the leading Catholic clergymen of Schuylkill county sharply rebuked the criminal doings ot the Molly Msguires, the organized outlaws who have for some years infested the anthracite coal regions of m Pennsylvania. Immediately subsequent to these clergymen's denouncement, the Rt. Rev. James Frederic Wood, bishop of the diocese of Philadelphia, published a lengthy statement, also condemning the lawless secret society. The Molly Maguires, becoming thoroughly enraged at this action of the priests.at once commenced to perpetrate terrible and sanguinary outrages. iShamokin, formerly the home of Pat. liaster, 'King of the Molly Maguires," was first made the center of operations. Inoendiarism was quite frequent for a time, much valuable property being destroyed. But the Mollies were not satisfied with this, and originated the work of murder. One morning Mr. Ignatius Deideman, a well known coal operator, was discovered near a "breaker." terribly stabbed and in a dying condition, lie was unable to describe his murderer or murderess; and thus no one was arrested for the crime. Soon after Johu Bowers, an emplove in a mill at Tamenend, watfouud in the tnill 'race. When tho corpse was taken from the water, gaping wounds were detected upon it. Bowers had Deen mur dered, and thrown into the race to cover the crime. Not long afterwards several corpses, sa disfigured as to be unrecognizable, were found in the Susquehanna River. Then following Thomas Close's assassination at Hellen stein. Tho Molly Maguire, John Luescher, was arrested, and is now awaiting trial in the Northumberland county jail, at Sunbury, where Mike Smith and Michael Cal lager, two notorious Mollies, are also lan guishing. It is stated that these parties, with the assistance of their "King," Pat liaster, have MURDÜ.RED NO LESS THAN TWENTY TERSONS, It was onlv a week- later that Chief of Police Simon II. Clowser was fatally shot, at Hazelton, by Frederick Lapp, who is now serving cut a short imprisonment. Ma banoy City, long recognized aa the retreat of the desperadoes, was the next theater ot a terrible tragedy. The Mollies, determining on a grand revolt, started several fires in vari ous parts ot the town. While the con nag ra tion was destroying the surrounding prop erty a riot was commenced. For some time the conflict was fearful. Finally the citizens conquered the Mollies, but not until Chief Burgess George Major received his death wound from a pistol fired by Dan. Dougherty, who beaded the assaulting party. Dougherty was arrested ana lockea up iu a hotel, about which a powerful guard was posted. The greatest excitement existed in Mahanoy, as it became whispered around that the murderer's friends would storm the town and free him. The county authorities were teleeraphed to. and a posse ot officers, accompanied by a company ol troops from Shamokin, arrived. Dougherty was manacled, put aboard a special train, and in a little while, safely lodged in the Pottsville jail. Since that time the Mollies have Indulged in numerous riotous Demonstrations, the latest being on Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights last. In all these outbreaks, persons are wounded. The trouble is not over yet. Father Maus, who made himself conspicuous by rebuking these disgraceful proceedings, has been the recipient ot a notice to leave the town. Others have had Ku-Klux missives, illustrated with skulls, cross-bones, coffins, pistols, knives and similar diabolical designs, sent them, and threatening death if any further reflections are cast upon the organization. A telegraphic operator, employed by the Philadelphia fc Reading Railroad Company, who bad sent a dispatch of the lawless transactions, for some one, to a Pottsville paper, was visited by the gang, and only escaped with his life by telling the inluriated wretches that he would take no more such dispatches. Dr. Carpenter, for some time a resident of Mahanoy Plane, made himself obnoxious to the Mollies, lie recently SUDDENLY "AND STRANGELY DISAPPEARED. The supposition is that.he is murdered.

Last M eek another outbreak of a similar character took place at Lannigan's Patch, near Mihnnv Pit rtnm cf the participants, an Irishman.wai killed at the time, while two others, wounded during the fray, have since died. As is customary with the Mollies, all three wore buried secretly, as Bishop Wood has issued stringent orders that none of these malefactors shall be interred in consecrated Catholic burying grounds. During the past week Daniel Campbell was beaten to death at Tamaqua by two unknown men. A miner named Muhre, while driving a wagon in the vicinity of Tremont, wag attacked by three men, murdered, and left upon the roaa. The corpse was found Sunday morning. Minersville is greatly excited over the commission of A STRANGE MURDER. The victim was secretly interred, but, so far, the Pottsville detectives have failed to gain any clow, further than the fact of the cause. Previous to these murders. Frank Shevler and Henry Fisher were murdered in the upijr im 01 tne region, me most atrocious deed perpetrated in shnviinn witnessed at Fishback, within the corporate " on me, tue county seat.

Centralia, which is' known as the "dark and bloody ground" of the middle coal fields, has been the scene of numerous bloodv dramas. Ilardlvadav ornltrht riot or fatal shooting or stabbing cate oc curs. A short time ago a school teacher censured a Molly Maguire, and was 6hot. For this, the would ba rnorderer received a slight punishment in the county jail. Upon his liberation he again shot the "teacher this time fatally. Since then the murderer was shot dead by a relation of his victim. THE VENDETTA IS STILL GOING ON. aud will doubtless not terminate until a number of persons are killed. Old and innocent citizens are subjected to the greatest outrages. Several were recently compelled to leave the place because their lives had. been threatened through the agency of KuKlux notices.

WOM EN AT THE POLLS. HOW THE ladies' political worked on ELECTION DAY IN MICHIGAN. A St. Joseph, Mich., letter to an exchange gives the following picture cf scenes on election day in that state: On election day one of tho lower offices at the city hall' wr.s tastefully fitted up, wreathed with evergreens and hung with pictures. CoflYe, cold meats and other refreshments had been provided, a?id some twenty or thirty of the most refined and respectable ladif s in town waited at the tables and kept all the v jtors supplied with suffrage ballots. Ladies filled the halls and birricaded the t-tairway, and even invaded the sacred precincts of the voting room. Bashful voters bad a hard time of It, running the gauntlet of o many ladies. Some appeared to be fairly frightened, and others voted "no" on the suffrage question, or got away as soon as po.lle without voting at all. The utmost humor prevailed, and peals of laughter came from the balls as some luckless voter was surrounded and argued into silence. It was the quietest election day ever known in St. Joseph. In all, save the crowd on the sidowalks, it resembled a church sociable more than an election. The ladies were treated with the greatest respect, no oaths were bef rd and not a drunken man appeared on the scene, although a dozen saloons bad open doors within forty rods cf the ballot-box. The total vote polled was 4S0; the vote on women suffrage was 889, of which 117 yotes wore for it and 242 against it. The friends of the movement expected defeat, and as it had been confidently predicted that leas than 100 votes would be cast ia its favor, the ladies were well satisfied with their success. JDJR. C.
