Tho only propor ntorforonce from that quartor is for the Treasury to commonco rodeeming its _{-own dopraciated shinplastors, which produco 411 the mischiof, i aterere Tho Pennsylvania Constitutional Convention, which sssomblod on tho 7th of January last, and which isnow adjourned until April 15, nc- complished much important work during its thrac monthe' sossion. Tho articlo on railroads is intended to put a check on monopoly, and is vory swoeping iu its charactor. It provides for a gonoral railroad law granting any corporation or individuals the right to copatruct railrosds betweon any two points in tho Stato, and probibits the consolidation of-. com- poting lines. It also provides that no railroad shall bo leased longer than twenty-fivo yoars unless two-thirds of tho stockholders desiro it and tho Logislature ratifios their wishes. It prohibits railroads from engaging in tho mining or manufacturing business, from holding any morae real estate than is nocessary for thoir own operation, from ostablishing discriminnting froights, and from forming combinations for an incronse of transportation charges on mined and manufactured articlos. It also or- dors uniform rates for passongers and froights, abolishes the frco pnss sys- tom except for tho officors of a corporation and indigont pooplo, and prohibits railroad offl- cora from engaging in the bueincss of forward- ing froight on thelr linoa. The proposed changes in the railrond systom of Ponnsylvania cover the vory abuges ageinst which tho farmors of this and othor Btates are protosting, and, should tho aotion of the Constitutional Convention bo rat- ifled by tho pooplo, ono Btato, at loast, will have put a vory offeotual dampor on railroad monop- olies. Anothor complication has arison in the trans- actions betwoon Baoz and the Bamana By Com- pany. Somo years ngo, an olfort was made in London to borrow £200,000 for the Government of 8anto Domingo, Tho sccurities plodged for tho redomption of tho bonds wore tho {sland of Altorann, with its gnano doposits, the hypotho- cation of customs, the sinking-fund loan of tho Btato, and Bamans Bay and Peninsuls, with its woods and minerals. Tho loan was rogarded with favor, and it ia probablo that the full amount would lave boon subseribed had not omo of the periodical rovolutions broken ont, which iInduced the Dritish Govornmont to warn tho publio agoiust gubsoribing for tho bonds, In the moantime, howovor, about £50,000 had boon ad- yanced which were nevor roturned, When tho nowa of tho transfor of Bamana Bay to a com- pany of Amorican capitaliats reached London, tho forolgn bondholdors bad a mooting and ro- golyed to enforco thoir claim, 48 Bamoua Rav was among tho accurltios, it ia Liold that tho now Company eannot tale possession until theso bonds aropaid. A short timo ago thoro was & rovolt; now thore fsn llon of §160,000; thoro aro known to bo outstanding contracts botwoon the Dominicon Government nud othor privato individuals besidas tho Now York Compnny ; and a rovolution will boin ordor whon {ho now Gov- ornment {8 sot up, Allogothor tho prospoct 18 not flattoring. ———— THE NEW JERSEY RATLROAD WAR, Tho forco of tho popular movemont ngainst ralirond monoplics o ronchod the Logislaturo of Now Jorsoy, which has passod n Gonoral Railroad law thint breaks in suvder tho old Cam- don & Amboy monopoly, aud opons the State to compoting ronds on fair and liberal torms, This rovolution will have n Inrge influenco on tho transportation quostion throughout tho country. It tonchos tho peoplo that thoy mny overcomo tho richest corporations and putan ondto the most tyrrannical monopolios whon thoy aro ronlly in oarnost; andit romoves one of the main obatnclos in tho way of additional raflrond facilitles botwveon the East and the West by glving n froo right of way ncrosa tho Btato of Now Jersoy,—tho shortost routo botweon tho Atlantionnd the interior. For moro than twenty yoars the privilega of crossing Now Jorsey with a railrond was monopo- lizod by & singlo company,—the Comden & Am- boy, Tho Btato had granted s chartor in' tho earlior days of rall transportation, whon it was supposod that o railway could not bo obtainod oxcopt by onormous sacrifico in tho way of grants, priviloges, and immunitios. Of courso, tho monopoly grow to tho most formidsblo and hatoful proportions. It is probablo that no lino of rallrond in tho world over made so much monoy in proportion to tho eapital investod as did the CUamdon & Amboy. It soon dominoerod over tho whole Btato, and, to some extent, ovor tho wholo country. New Jorsoy camo to bo known gs tho ““State of Camdon & Amboy.” Tho contract was thore, howover, and the courts uphold it. Congross was askod to sot it naide, but doclined to doso. Whon the torm of tho contract granting oxolusive right of way was sbout to oxpire, the Camden & Amboy Company woro afraid to moot tho compotition which wag protty cortain to Lo authorized by the State. Tho Pennsylvanin Company,—a largor, richor, and boldor corporation,—wns confident of its ability to mannge Legialatures, and offered to leago tho Now Jorscy road for 999 yours, paying 10 por cont por annum on tho capital stock (watored by congolidation with pumerous othor sailways and canals) to tho owners, In this lonso, the Jorsoymen got ihe bost ond of tho bargain, Tho stock haa declined in value from 127 to 119, but tho Pennsylvania Company aro holdon for the 10 por cent per annum oven if the valuo doprociatos to nothing, of which, howavor, thoro {8 no danger. When the fight eamo on nt Tronton, forre- nowing tho Camden & Amboy monopoly or suf- foring it to lapse, there were bills for spocial chartora introduced providing for competing roads; a monopoly bill virtually rostoring tho old condition of thinga for tho bonofit of tho Pennsylyanis Compnny ; and a Gonoral Railrond act opening the State to free compotition. Mr. Tom Beokt's tactics consistedin first dofeating tho special chartors which were not in his intorest, or which Iio foarod ho could riok absorb, Ho suc- coedod thus far. His noxtmovewas to sooura tho passage of the monopoly bill, and ho enginoered it through tho Sonato without a blush, When the bill camo beforo tho Houso, it was defeated amid tho shouts of the omancipated peoplo. Tho popular sentiment twas irresistible, nnd when the Houso, tho day following, pacsed the Gonoral Railrond act, tho Senato did not daro re- Joctit, This act recoived ‘tho signature of the Governor immedintely, and is now alaw. It au- thorizes any association of thirteon persons, or moro, the majority of whom shall bo resi- donts of tho Stato, to organize a railrond company. It requires that their articles of ngreomont shall Ax tho tormini of tho rond, name tho counties through which it shall run, and have & capital stock of not loss thon 810,000 por mile. It is necessary that an affidavit shall bo filed, seiting forth an honest intontion to build tho road as projectod, and that 2,000 has boon subscribed for ovory milo, with 10 per cent actually paid in cash. Tho filing of this afiidavit with tho articlos of agrosment constitutos the charter. Tho law thon provides that the company shallnot issucbonds to oxcoed tho amount of the paid-up capital stock ; that tho coustruction of tho road must bo bogun ‘within six months from the date of organization ; that, if less than fifty miles in longth, the road must bo rondy for use within two years, and, if moro than fifty miles long, twonty miles must bo complotod within every succecding six months, Tho conditions which the now law imposes up- on companios that organiza under it aro such as to enforce tho building of tho ronds that are projected and guard ngainst their solling out to an organized monopoly before they have beon commenced. Tho offect of tho law has already boen folt, 88 sevoral companics havo filed the necessary papers and annonnce themselves roady tobogin work. It is predicted that thora will bo at lonst half-n-dozon independentrailronds scross Now Jersoy o4 soon as they can bo constructed, which will have conneotions with tho Wost, In this way the transportation of Woatorn freight to the Atlantio will be largely fnoilitated. It ia prob- ablo that tho free paseago through Now Jersoy will load to the rapid coustruction of an entiroly now trunk lino from tho West tothe Atlnntic. In any oase, tho offoct of tho now roads aoross tho Btato, in conncction with Westorn roads slrondy built, will bo tho snmo, if indoed now through lines shall not actually bo constructed. FARMERS AND THE TARIFF. 2 Tho stook argumont of tho high-tarif gentry just now i, that, If the farmors go for froo iron, ateol, salt, lumbor, ote,, thore will pros- ently bo no market for farm products—the myri- nds of porsons ongagod in thoso industrios will loso tholr appotitos, stop cating, and utterly bank- rupttho farmer, And from this thoygo on toshow how the farmor s nourishod and cherished by paying n dollar for goods which he might got for fifty conta, Bomo yenrs ngo o dlstingnished mombor of Congress mado & spocch in which ho undertook to sliow that overy timo n workshop was opened 1t croatad an incronsed demand for agrioultural products; and ho Hlustrated his thoory by rofor- ring to horseshoo naits, which wore, ho con- tended, an artiolo made oxoluslvely by manual Iabor, requiring many thousands of mon, all of whom had to purchaso bread and meat of tho farmors, The forco of tho illustration was do- #troyed whon ho was Informod that ono boy, with & machine such aa {s now in use, can make moro horseshoo uailsin ono day than could twonty atalwart mon Iu tha old fashion, What fy true of horsoshoo nails i truo of horaeshoos, and of tho gront bullk of tho manufactures of tho: prosont dny. Congross voios the man who grinds mustard in Now York flve conts & pound bounty as n mnnufacturor, tho manual Jabor consisting of o self-foeding mill worked by steam.-'fho faot Is, such progross has boon made {n Iabor-saving machin- ory during tho Inst twonty yonrs, that capital and steam may be sald to bo tho great manufac. turors of this day, and capitnl and steam can hardly bo said to connumo any more agricultural products whon applied to manufactures than thoy do othorwise. Horo ave tho figures furnishod by Mr. Morriman, Trossuror of the Lippitt Woolon Manufnotory, of Providonco, It I., dated Fob. 20, 1872, showing the amount of tho varlous itoma m_:tnflng Into tho cost of manufaéturing all-wool goods in that olty: Per cent,|iteme, k] Der cent, 0 IDruge, oto..s 3 % 4 lothor matoriala,. 2 8 Taxen and fnsuranco,.. 1 ‘ol Veses 13gLabo 15 Total, . seaees100 It willbo soon from this that Iabor, in the maunfacturs of all-wool goods, is only 15 cents ouonch dollar's worth of tho manufacturod arti- clo. It doos mot oxcoed tho cost of ront, intor- ost, fuol, rugs, taxes, and insuranco, The raw matorinl and othor oxpenses cost 85 por cent, and only 15 por cont is given to tho men who are suppoted to bogin eating farm products as soon 2 thoy are omployed in s factory, and who wonld congo to consume thoso articles if othorwise om- ployod. Tho fact is, tho Iabor of tho woolen mill is porformed mainly by tho mnchinory, worked by stosm.

Tho horseshoo nails and tho horsoshicos of the country aro now made by ma~ chinory, the cost of the labor employod in thoir manufacture not oxceeding tho proportion now exponded for Inbor in the woolen mills, and the employment of tho 15 per cent of labor has not added, however remotely, to the consumption of sagrionltural products. - In tho United States census roports of tho va~ rious industrial occupations of tho country, tho following aro tho footings of tho manufactures ' “of Massachusotts: . % Valuo of manufactures..., 4$563,012,668 Cost of matorials of all kinds <0 8036413, Sont o Tabor.: ko Profitton prod 101,446,700 Invesfad capital, 281,017,862 Numbor of pers 210,380 Thoeso 279,880 persons employed in the various. manufacturing industrios of Masanchusotts are® supposed to form a spodial homo market for the Lrendstufls of the Wost ; but that thoy could not oat loss of tho same products wore they ongaged In suy othor businosa Is shown by tho faot that their avorago wagos in tho yesr was 8442.42 onch, out of which .thoy had -to payrent or \m_urd,v purchase fue), clothing, books, and gen~ orally provide for .themsolves and dependents. Theso figurea of Massachusetts industry diactoso tho fact that, of tho valuo of tho manufasturos, tho labor that produced them costs lesa than 22 per cont, whilo the profit on tho capital.om- ployed wasover 48 por cent. In that Stato, whoro manufaotures are mora varied *than any othor, it will bo soen that capital and stoam to- gether oarn 43 per cent, while Iabor re- coives only 22 por cont, REack human | boing employed received on ‘the avar- ago for his yoar's labor $422.42, whilo, each 81,000 invested in machinory carnod £430. Thoso figures show further, thdt $10,000 of eapi~ tal invested in machinory is equal to the Inbor of ten mon; that that much money thus invested earns as much a8 ton living oporatives, that tho earnings of tho oporatives aro, neoded to feod unid clotho, and ‘sholtor, howover scantily, tho laborors, while tho carnings of tho capital in- veated In tho machinery are all profit oxcopt the small porcontago needed for ropairs—machinory neoding no bread, nor pork, mor buttor, nor ©ggs, nor anything that {8 grown upon the farm. ‘Whon farmers, theroforo, are told that ench factory of horsoslice nails, or of woolon goods, or of any othor articlo, oroatesa demand for a Inrgo smount of farm products, lob them romember that manual lnbor is now only a secondary con- sldoration in manufacturing; that the workis | dono by machinery and steam; thut human ln~' bor {8 limitod mainly to tho managoment of tho machinery, and that, instoad of creating now' consumors for farm products, capital is confle-’ cating their products under bounties voted by, Congross to protect lsbor, but which are -ppzo-1 printod a8 earnings of machinery. : Thore aro many good and sufficiont. ronsons why all kinds of manufactures should be estab-. lishod in tho Wost, but the. protonso that thoir. establishmont will furnish an incroased market for farm products is not ono of them. SPAIN AND CUBA, ¥ The Jatest intelligonce from Havaun, coupled” with tho news from Bpain, ia - calculated to en-. courago tho friends of froo Cuba, and will also. inapire the insurgonts in that island to frosh ac- tivity, and still more dotormined efforts in thon) causo of indopendonce. Tho nows comos through Bpanish sources, so that it is ontitled to- boliof, that the Cubans have captured and sacked. tho fortified city of Mauzanillo, which is on tho southenst const of tho island, aundlasa large trado in coffoo, sugar, and fruit. The most im- portant feature of tho eapture is thut the fnsur- gonts obtainad an immenso amount of booty in. monoy and mupitiona of war, whichill givo them * ronewnd advantago in their struggl o—an ad van- tago thoy biave Iackod of lato owing to tho vigilanco of tho Spanish cruisers. Inanddition to the demoralizing offcct which such o capture muat have upon tho Bpanish suthoritios, thoro are two other facts daveloped in tho nows, which will heve o doclsive influence in sotiling tho robollion in favor of tho insurgonts and maling Cuba freo, unloss Bpain ‘is able to counternct thom. Ono of these is an impending rovolt smong tho Bpaulsh residents thomsolyes, and tha other, o rovolt among tho nogroos, Unloss Spain can put down and offectunlly suppross theso ro- volts, tho game ls up. The Oaptain-Gonoral has forescen this, and hns tolographoed to Madrid that & largo body of troops is fmporatively want- ol in Havana, Tho cwront news from Cuba furnishos no information as to tho grounds of complaint upon the part of tho Spanish rosi- dents which is loading thom to & revolt, but thoy may bo Inforred. Tho wealthy Bpanlards, as woll ns the morohants and traders, have long booy, dissatisfied with tho manuer in which the oparations againet thoe insurgonts have been con- ducted, and latterly have given up all hopo of success, Thoy aroa very aristooratio olnes, as much #0 a8 tho gonuing blug blopds of Rvala, -it, must sound like hollow mookery to the Gov- .{ bility for his hanging ends tharo, in the absonco and thoy aro intonao Catholica, Thelr sympathien nro altogother unrepublican, snd thelr profer- onces for a constitutional monnrohy in tho motlior country. They aro far enough off from Bpain, snd noar enough to the United Biates, to Jmow that tho now Spanish Ropublic has hardly iho first oloment of stability in its adminiatra- ton, aud they know oqually woll that the Bpanish Tepublis caunot put down tho Cuban xebellion. Thoso faols of thomeolves nro sufficlont to no- count for tho rovolt which is throatoned by thom, and which, sccording to tha Captain-Gonoral's dispatol, may broak out at any moment. 'The antfeipated rovolt among tho negroes is oasy enough to comprohond whon tho porsccutions and cruoltles of Cuban slavery aro romombored. « Tho fato of froo Cuba now doponds upon tho abitity of Spain toIntimidato tho Bpaniards, to put down tho negroos, and to suppross tho fnsur- roction. If Spain is nblo to send & largo and powerful forco to Cubam, its indopond- onco msy be postponod still longor. Whethor fipain can do this, however, i8 vory problomati- cnl, whon it is romombered that it cannot rajso troops cnough to subduc tho Carlists, who aro ovorrunning the whole northorn part of t) country. They have cut tho Northorn Railrond, dostroyed stations in ovory direction, tappod tho rond betwoon Darcolonn and Madrid, overrun nontly all of Catalonin, and captured many important towns ! and cities, tho last placs to fall inte their hands boing Borgs, which is only fifty miles {rom Barcclons, To mend soldliers away from Bpain in tho present orisia would bo tho donth- blow of tho Ropublic, and opon tho way to Madrid for Don Carlos. A fow faots will sorve to show tho procarious condition of tho Repub- lie. 'The Minlstry iteolf ia woak and vacillating, and Coatolar is discouragod. Tho Ropublicans aro hopolessly divided, when thoy should bon unit againet the Carlists, Whilo tho Moderato-| and tho Radieal Ropublicans aro arguing and dis- cussing with so much hoat that tho populace of , Madrid i¢ drifting into rovolu- tion, the Carlists are growing strongor overy day. It is not only ' in Madrid that o rovolutian i{e immincnt. The Governmont, by always, discussing and nover acting, has sowed tho soods of rovolution all over Spain. Tho Rad- ical Ropublicans are ns cxtrome and violent ag woro tlo Parls Communiats, and the Modorate Republicans, who sre in the mejority, have done nothing to repress thom. The consequence is, there is not a municipality in 8pain upon whoso loyalty the Govornment can rely. Not only aro tho Republicans, tho Ministry, tho mu- nicipalitios, divided, but also tho army.’ Tnsubor- dination provails everywhore, The officors of the Spanish army univorsally lean towards mon- archy, and the Republic dares, not got rid of them. ‘Tho xesult is, that whoro thio army is + mot insubordinato it'1s passive, and, moanwhilo, tho Cailists, who aro neither ineubordinate nor passive, go on catting railronds, burning stations, killing and plllaging, growing stronger day by day, and day by day advancing into the hoart of Bpain. Sup- plied with money by Carlist agencies in London, with munitiona of war snd provisions from Southorn Tranco, notwithstanding 1. Thiors’ noutrality, the Oarlists march on, blossed by tho "Church sand followed by the priests, sowing tho scods of rovolution far and wide.

Itis ovidont that Spain's misfortune is Cuba's opportunity, and that, if tho Captain-Gonoral has no othor hopo of suc- coss than in obtaining . reinforcemonts from Spain, with the Spaninrds, the negroes, and the insurgonts combinod against him, his caso is indeed hopoloaa. Thoro is & Judgo in Missouri who has given an ex-cathedra congolation to all ofticials who aro: Toquired by their offico to pass or execute & son- tonco of deathupon convicted murdorers. In pronouncing & death-sontouce ho sald: *If gullty, you richly desorve the fate which ‘nwaits you; if innocent, it will bo a gratifioation for you to fool that you woro hanged without such a crime on your conscienco; in either caso you will bo dolivered from o world of caro.” Thero 18 more philosophy in this than a man about to Lo bangod could remgomsbly bo oxpected to ndopt; but it {a o very sensiblo statomont of tho case so far na judicial or oxecu- tive rosponuibility goes. Thero has boen an of-' fort in cortain quartors, Which has not yot been digcontinued, to make Gen.
