The Railroad Committeo of the Bonate, after substituting tho Donahuo bill for tho Compro- mise bill roferred to them, sont tho former to a sub-committeo for smendment.

The railrosd accident which oceurrod in Rhode Teland, Saturday, was attonded with all tho hor- rors incident to similar catastrophes, Tho road which runs bobweon Stonington aud Providence crosses o smoll stronm negr n station called Richmond. The mill-dam, about 300 foot distant from tho railrond bridge, hiad been washod away by'bigh water, and o large quantity of lamber \was procipitated against tho bridgo with such forco as to carry it away. The passengor train ran i{nto tho chasm, six cars wora burnod, fueluding throo puesenger cars, seven: lives woro lost, two persons wore ltorally burned to death, and many othera woro soriously in- jured. The wondor is that n greater loss of lifo did not rosult from the foarful sitnation de- geribed in the dispatchos. At first blush it would appear that the causo of this accident was unavoldablo, It is moro probable, however, that if the bridgo had beon properly watched, the train could hnve been eignaled to stop and tho catastropho avorted. Whonover o sorious ao- cident occurs on a railroad within 800 or 400 feot from a station, tho prosumption is that somo- body was to blamo for it. Itisthis presump- tion which should give direction to the investi- gation of the caueo and the flxing of the respon- wibility. ———— AN ADJOURNED BESSION OF THE LEGISLA. TURE. Thero is a proposition pending at Springfield to adjourn the presont sossion of the Logislature until next winter, but, 8o far, there hns beon no suflicient roason given for such a proceeding. Tho provision in tho Constitution that tho ses- sions of tho Legislature shall bo biennial was not adopted without & purpose, nor without good causo. In tho Constitution of 1848, aud again in that of 1878, the people of this Btato sought to ‘protect tho public intereats by a peremptory Umi- tation to ono session overy two years, Tho Con- atitution doos not econtomplate such adjourn- monta as will bo equivalont to aunual sessions. It providos thnt— “Cho scasions of tho Genoral : Assombly shall com- meuce at 1% o’clock noon on the Wednesday noxt atter tho first Monday in January, futhe year uext ansulug tho eloction of mombera thoreof, and at no other time, unlezs a8 provided Ly this Conatitution, The othor time as provided by the Constitn- tion is the extraordinary session which may bo cnlled by tho Governor. It was intendod that thore shiould bo but one session every two yearn, and, in ordor to romove all objection that this session was too briof to permit tho business to Do done, tho restriction of the sossion to forty- two dayy was removed, Tho Loglulaturo of 1871 bad as an exouse for adjourning over, that it hod to gencralize tho logislation of the Btato, aud to perform much other work roquired by the néw Conatitution. All thiat Inbor was performed by thelast Logisla- turo, and, with the excoption of tho railrond logislation, thoro was nothing out of tho routine of ordinary mnttors which this Loginlature had todo, Ithasbeon mearly four months in uos- sion, aud to adjourn without acting upon tho limited amount of business bofore it would bo & confossion of idloness, neglect,and incompeteucy, which the membors can hnidly bo willing lb])lucn on record, If tho Logislaturos of Illinola from 1849 to 1869 could transnct nil tho goneral businous of thoBtato, bosldes acting on 1,000 or1,500 spoclal Dbills mora or loss viclous i a sosslon of six wocks in ovory two yonrs, tho prosont Logluluture, which bag no special Jaws to pass nud s con- fiued absolutely to genoral purpescy, ought to Le ablo to nct upon tho twenty or thirty bills Leforo it In o senslon of four months, Thore Iy & ru- mior that it I8 the purpose to leave the question of tho pay of the noxt Logislature unacted up- on, aud thon to uso thisay a protoxt for adjourn- ing over untilnext wintor. Thisisa very wosk do- vico. Thore Iy uothing In the Couslitution ro- quiring thisLoglelature to fix tho pay nnd milosigo!| of tho next ono; that has alveady boen dono by the law of March, 1873, unlossthore bo akchomo to in- cronso tho pay. This Leglalnturo has o make an approptiation to pay tho por diom and miloago of tho mombora of the noxt Logialaturo, and & falloro to do 8o cannot ho sttributod to s want of time, nor of information, but will bo justly attributed to n desire on the part of tho majority of tho prosont body to provide another wintor'abolidsy for themselves at tho public expenso. Tho cost of tho Logislnture is about §1,500 por dny. To adjourn over until next wintor aud thon hava o sesslon of ono hundred days—nud it will not bo less—will involve, including mileage, # cost to tho Btato of $160,000. What possiblo oxcuso or apology can bo offerod for auch & pro- cooding ? If tho prosont Logislature would de- vato ton consacutive daya to businoss, thoy could disposo of all matters of logitimato logislation Voforo them, and conld thon adjourn, lonving ag the Coustitution dircots, the questions ot tho nocessity for auy othier sosslon to the judg- mont and discrotion of {ho Governor. Bhould thia Loglalaturo oyado tho Constitutional prohibition of more than ons rogular sossion by adjourning ovor until noxt winter, it will sebn pracodont for anuual sossions which will bo fol- lowad by othors, and tho biennial feature of tho now Constitution for which tho pooplo votod will bo sot asido without a voto of the people, and tho Biato will bo snddled with an expenso novor contomplated, and which the people would nover sanction, any moro than thoy will sanction tho salary-grob of tho lnst Congross. BATLROADS AND COURTS, In tho proscnt antagonism betweon the farme ers sud tho rallronds, thore is a tendenoy to jg- moro tho roal servicos of tho railronde to the poople and tho Stato, and not only to look upon them ns public cnomies, but o rogard in tho samo way all porsons, and, especlally, all Judges, who do not join in tho prevailing hte and cry. ‘Whon the poople carry thoir indignation so far as to propose s rovolution of the Courts, and to discuss the project of tearing up roils, they pormit their pussions to run riot over their reason, and aro troad- ing upon dangerous ground. Tho prosont atinck on railronds bogan with o suporabun, dance of produce. Thore is more grain raised than can bo moved in the winter soason by all tho ‘means of trangportation wo possoss, Tho pro- ducors are naturally thoso who suffer most from this stato of things. They havo sought for an oxplanation of it, and beliovo that they bave found it in oxcessive freight rates, Thore is no doubt that & reduction in charges should bo made’ but this would not wholly relievo the pressuro. Bo long s tho West produces moro of o partien” Tar kind of graiu than ean bo moved to the mor- kot, by oxisting monua of transporlation, the prico of grain must declino, aud the surplus on tho farmers’ hauds must bo a burden, It may ho burned if il makos good fuel; othorwine, it must bo held over for & better market, or loft to rot, The popular crusade against railroads sliould o tempored with o soneo of what tho railroads ' have dono and avo still doing for the country. This sontiment slould not be pormilted to ox- tenuato tho offonse of oxorbitant rates or un- just diserimination ; but it should deter peopto from & rash and ill-considercd movement caleu- Iated to bresk down the indopendence of tho Judiciary, if not to cripplo s systom which thoy must thank for a large'share of the prosperity thoy now onjoy. Thoro is mo bettor way to bring this phaso of tho prasont controversy within tho popular appreciation Lhan to pleturo tho state of thingy that would follow a complote suspension of the railrond business for thirly days. Buppose overy locomotive- ongine in Illinois wero tied up and rendored motionless for ono month, It would Lo o natioual calamity. It is hardly too much to say that 1t wonld bankrupt overybody in the Btate. Pecuniary ruin, political chaos, domey- tic wrotchednoss, o universal sonso of poverty, #nd o domoralization oxtending at onco to com mereo, trade, governmont, and socioty, would bo the results. Without railroada, it would require four or five days to reach Chicago from tho Mis- gissippl River. Tho transportation question would thon bo settlodwith o vongeance, Thoro 18 1186 now for all tho horsos, mules, and oxen, for all the wagons and ordinary vehicles, for all tho canal-boats, and stoamboats, and rafts, and propollers. How could tho grain be moved then? Tho pricc would rise in tho Esstern aud tho foreign markets; but how would this help tho farmor if ho could not got his corn twenty miles from the crib withont consuming its entiro valuo? One of the vita] oloments of modern civilization would bo lost, and the way for a roturn to barbarism would bo opon, Take nway the railroads, and the busi- ness of tho West would como to n atandstill, citios would bo desorted and left to totter and decay, the farmers would Luddle togother in communities, cultivating only cnough land for their own nocossitios ; tho vast and rich granarics would disappoar from tho face of tho carth and becomoabiding placesfor wolves and prairie doga. All this furnishes uo argument why railroads should bo pormitted to overcharge, to extort, or to diseriminate unjuutly ; but it showa that they must not bo put in tho catogory of public enemies from whom the protoction of law ia withdrawn, and against whom overy man's hand may be turned, This viow of tho railroad quostion, which is foundodon reason, ay properly ontimating tho usofuluess of railroads, loads to tho conclusion that their offensos must bo dealt with nccording tothoncenmulated oxperionce and wisdom known a8 Common Law. This moans that thoir tolls, thelr dutios, thoir actions, and their omis- slons must bo judgoed Dby the principles rogulat- ing common carriers, and not by any arbitrary statuto which a Logislaturo of inexporienced mon may frame under tho Influonco of & popular oxeltoment, It is unlawful for rallroads to mako unronsonnble charges and unjust dlscrimina~ tions. Whoen thoy do, thoy may be compelled to shandon tho practico, and to pay damagos for thoir offenso, What is ronsonablo and just in one year, or undor corteln ciroumatancos, may bo unrensonablo and unjust another year and under different circumatances. Bo long o8 the ratlronds, like othor common carrlors, aro aniona- ble to the well-defined maxims of common law, thoy mey bo made (o shnro the adversity, as well ag participate In tho prosperity, of the farm- ing conununity, s thoy should. When the poople, howover, uudortake tossy what the Courts shall docldo in casos affooting railwaya, they not only tampor with the fountain of justico to their own harm, but they ussume thut ouno of the most potont agenclos of elvilization lsa curao ratherthan o blossing, Ruther than in- augurate s policy bottomed upon thol thcory, tho Btato had Deiter oxorciso itw right of ominont domain, condemn ouo or more ruilroads, pay the ownors tho value of the prop- prty takon, and demonatrate to the sutlufaction of tho peoplo how and ab what rates railroads cun bo run, Buch an oxporimont i not without its dangors, and tho proapects of succoss aro not holghtoned by tho eurly exparicncos of Tltnols in the railrosd buniness, But it will bo botter to try it agaln undor a now stato of affalrs than to undortake tho policy of bonting down the Courts becauso thoy adhere totho prinoiplesof law, which {hoy woro elooted to uplold and maintain. THE TAXES ON CORN, In tho Boston Commercial Bullelin thoro aro publishod govoral columns wookly of notes con- corning manufactures, Many of theso notos linvo n spoclsl interest for thoso who produce corn at 16 to 20 conts a bushel.

G. W, &1J. A, Griflin sro making 600 yoirs of Womeu's fuoRowed goods o day, In 1803, Congross doalt & hoavy blow to tho 8hioo trado by lovying a tax on tho srtiolo known as sorgo or lasting, which was used for tho uppors of women's shoos, It was dono ab tho Instance of a slnglo ostablishmont in Now Eng- 1aud which had undertakon to make this lasting, aided by tho monufacturors of morocco, The Inating shoos mnde in the United Btates were lighter, chenpor, moro clastio and durable than those mado of leather, Bolng especially adapted to warm climatcs, thoy were largely exported to South America and the Wost Indios. The tax loviod on tho serge amounted, upon the quantity usod im this country, to ono million jof dollnrs & yonr, thoroby nocessitativg asn {noronso in tho cost of producing thoss shoos by that nmount. Tho Inability to produce the shooa as chonply 58 bofore reduced tho domaud for thom, aud finally the wholo export trado was abandoned. Subsoguontly, M. David A, Wolls, inonoof his voports, callod tha attontion of Congross to tho offoct of this tax upon tho shoo trado and upon the public, snd recommended ita roporl, Whoreupon tho manufacturors of mo- Tocco gob up a protost ngainst the ropeal of the tax on lastings, and Mr. Kelloy, to whom the protost was sent, read .tho following lotter in Congross : Dean 8 T dnclose you horowlth & romonstrance, signod by tho morocco manufacturers, against tho ro- moval of the duty on sergo goods, a8 recommendod by Commisptoner Wella, It 18 only nocessary for mo to call your cttention to the fact that serges are mow solling at $1.20 por yard, that six sud threc-quarters feet of morocco is consldorad equnl to ono yard of sorgo, snd that the moroceo which would bo used to compoto with §t wo cannot afford to sell for less than 96 conts por foot, 50 that with tho present duty $1.20 of serge will go wa far as $1.75 of moroceo, Tho Morocco Manufucturcrs' Exchango” havo rond your review of Commissioner Wells' roport with tho greatest pleasure, snd, In connection with tho nobla stand tuken by you in favor of * protoction to Amerl- cnn industry,” lavo considored that it was but noces- sary to Iny this attor beforo you to securo your in- terost, and thus provent tho consmmmnation of this great ontrago upon one of the largest branches of Aworlean Industry, Truly yours, " " Eowasp 8, Deznxen, Becretary of tho Moroeco Manufacturers' Exchange.

Tho continu- anco of this tax was domanded becsuso its re- moval would bo an outrago nupon * onoof the largest branchos of American industry.” This lottor was dated in 1870. Tho consus retwms o 1870 disclose somo “interesting facts upon this Iargo branch of Americen industry. Thoyshow: That thore were in tbe United Btates 113 oce- tablishmonts, largo and small, cugnged In making morocco, omploying 48 stoam-enginos and 16 water-whools ; tho whole number of hands om- ployed woro.8,000, of whom 182 woro fomales and 84 woro childron’; thoy lind an aggrogate capital of £8,854,072; paid out 86,623,006 for materisls of il kinds ; paid §1,678,226 for wagos, and sold thoir products for 0,097,460 These figures ghow that * Amorican industry,” as embodied in 1abor, is representod to the oxtent of 16 conts on tho dollar of all the morocco produced; that eapital investod in machinery recelves a profit of $1,096,168, on a total of $8,854,072, or ovor 43 por cont, while the average wagos of tho “ American Inbor™ employed was $558.20 o year to oach hand, or §1.77 por doy for ench working day In the yoar. Tt willbo soen thattho tax ontho raw ma- teriala of which shoos are mado, lovied to bonofit Amorlean lnbor, and eneblo the workmen to be- como consumors of farm-products, gives omploy- mont to 8,000 persons of sll ages, poys these pooplo $568,29 each for & yenr's work, while the capital invested in machinory, which docs not eat corn, pockets noarly 44 per cont profit. This oxplains why now buildings aro nooded for mak- ing moroceo, and explaing why it takes 20 bushela of corn to purchneo shoos whick might bo purchased, in tho absenco of the tax, for 12 bushols. e — AN INFAMOUS ORIME. The narrative, printed in tho last issue of TaE TuinuNeE, of the attempt to ruin two young girla who Liad been enticed iuto the den kept by ono McLaughlin, tells its own story, and it has not been told too soon or too much in detsil to afford protoction to others, who are linble at any timo to bo oxposed to the wiles and temptations of the procuror, McLaughlin's * parlors,” so- called, do not differ in any rospoct from many similar places in tho West and South Divistons, Tho most of them aro small, unprotontious eatablivhments, with a cigar or fiuit storo in front, whioh s all that catches the pub- lic oye. Behind this appavontly logitimate busiooa, howovor, aro dining-rooms aud cham- bors dovoted to nssignations, and fo just such villainous outragos ng were sought to Lo porpe- trated ab McLaugblin’s dou. Thero are othors which are larger, fitted up in gorgoous styls, with handsomely appointed private rooms for thoso who do not wlsh to eat in the publio ros- taurant, and which at night avo the rosorts of gomblors and roues. These private yooms are kept fron from intrusion, and no questions aro over asked concorning thoso who froquoni them. Nothing is allowed to stand in tho way of tho purposcs of tho libertine who takes bis vie tim into ono of them. Oomparod with these placon tho housen of prostitution which mnke no con- coalment of thelr business are rospoctable ou- tablishments. They offer no alluremonts. Thoy do not doceive thoe unwary, or atiract the inune- cont within thoir doors by falae protonses, Thoy oro known to the public aud kuown to the pe- lico, and their inmates aro at any timo liablo to arrest and punishment for offenses which ave taivisl in comparison with the shovking inlquity which Is practised in theso dens of the ¢ Ocol- doutal Parlor" sot. Tho latier are tho diroct and most prolific feeders of tho lousos of prostitution, and without thelr Lelp there would bo fowor Inmateu fnthem. Jtis in theso *“paviors™ that young glvls pousossed of somo porsonal attractions and 1lttlo sonuo, and of litilo oxporionce in thoe ways of tho world, are Induced, by presonts or threals, and, whoro theso fall, by drugs, to take tho firat downward stop, which oventunlly loads thom to livos of publio shame, Lhin portioular outtage which has boon mado publio 1w n paculiarly ag- gravatod ono. "Ulio keopors of thoso dous aro nof alwnys procurors, Somotimes thoy morely ront their rooms and furnish all the opportuni- tios for seduction for. o stated price. It would apponr that McLaughlin, however, in conspiracy with an abandoned woman, hns been playing tho part of o proouror, and hns boon in tho habit of onticing young and innocont girls into liis placo by means of tho arts known to auch crenturos, and whoro, by monoy and other gitts, and promiscs of dresecs nnd carringes, which sllly young gifls are apt to bellove so readily, couplod with tho torrorism which always provails in those places, tholr ruln i aftected. Tho attention of the polico authoritios hns now boon callad to this infamons don, and tho publie will not bo satisflad until the propristor I prop- orly punished, his concorn broken wup, and tho powor of tho law applicd to all similar places in tho city, Tho statutes of this Btato are lamentably doficlont in mnking no pro- vislong for the punishmont of abductors snd procurors ;-but this does not place any obstaclo in tho way of the supprossion of this infamous business. If the polico authoritios have tho dis-~ position, thoy can closo thoso places and puvish tho keopora by tho ropeated application of the penaltion against vagranoy oud keeping lowd houtes, Tt theso penaltios be enforced daily untl tho business fs atopped. **Pull” thom night aftor night, 1£ nacessary, until tho hdeous blot upon the good morala of tho clty is offacod. Tho ovil has grown to alarming dimon- slons, and it eannot any longor be allowed to go. on without an offort to ohiook i, 'T'lio polico find no diffioulty in bronking up gambling dons and arrosting tho inmates of housos of ill-famo whon thoy bocoma disorderly. But hiore is an ovil far worso, flaunting itsolf in tho opon daylight with tho most shamoloss offrontery and impunity. Not a day or night passes that theso cigar-stores, fruit-stands, and rostaurauts, aro not flled with young girls, some of thom prosent for the first timo, and otbers rogular labitues and famillar with avory form of vico. Nochild iasnfo so long ng the procurer is sllowed to ply his infanous vo- cation without interferonce. In those places, young girls aro first ruinod, body and soul, and out from theso places thoy go to the Liouso of pros- titution, to ruin othors. Went Madison and Ren- dolph, ond State streot from Twonty-second to Harrison, swarm with thosodens, in almost overy instance located in closo proximity to houses of ill-famo, Somo of themnro cheap Italion ea- loons; somo of them are fitted up with lavish ex~ ponse, In theirgenoral charactor, howoever, {hore is no differonco.

There was probably no State in the Union which needod the examploe of Iilincis in remodel- ing its Constitution to conform to tho advanced principies of govornment, and o rostrain the tondenoy of reckloss loglslation, so badly as the Biato of Ponnsylvania, Tho present Constitu- tion of that Biato dates from 1795, which the Conetitutional Convention of 1838 contouted itgolt with amending in a fow partioulars. The present Constitutional Convention, which roas- sombled Inst weel after ashort vacation, has bioon in sesslon sinco the middle of last Decem- ber, and it is not probable that it will adjourn un- til the middle of July, The time taken indicates that the deliborations of the Convention are thor- ough. Tho manuer in which the dologates wore chosen sccured s convention of moro than ordinary sbility, and ono singularly freo from partisan bins. Twonty-cight dologates wore electod from tho Stato at large, and, as no ono could voto for more than fourteen, tho Republi- cans and Liberals woro thus far oquelly repre- gonted, Tho remeining dologatos wera choson according to tho minority reprosontation plan of voting, throo from each Senatoriel Diatrict, and giving every vater tha privilogo of balloting fortwo of the number. The rosult has been that tho Convention has a Ropublican majority of only fivo, and tho delogatos, withoutdiatinction of party, aro gounorally opposed to the ma- chbinory which has horetofore enabled tho Ponn- sylvania Logislature to authorize so many frauds and creato 8o many monopolies in that Btate. Tho Convention connts among its mombers some of tho nblost men of Penusylvanis, including Charles W. Buckalow, Jeromial 8. Black, George W. Woodward, William M. Merodith, Henry O Caroy, Theodore Cuyler, Lowia C. Cassidy, and many others of equal position and ability. Tho wholo country is interested in tho work of the Convention, na it will exort & potent influence, a8 did tho Conslitutional Convention of Ilinois, In forcing upon the people of othor Btates tho adoption of means whoroby they can best pro- toct themsolves from political abusos. The work of the Convention thus far indieates that it will submit one of the most comprohen- sive and thorough constitutions that could be framod in the interests of tho pooplo. The ar- ticlo on tho Loglslature Las alvondy bean ngreed upon, and it prohibita local or special legialation a8 summaily as this class of logislation Iy pro- hibited by the Coustitution of Illinols and tho list of subjects enumerated under thoe prohibi- tory clauso is oven moro comprokensive. Tho Loglslaturo will have no power whatever to grant monopolics or specinl priviloges of any kind, 'The loanfng of tho oredit of the Btnto, or of county, city, or town governmonts, to any corporation, and stock subseriptions to the samo, aro absolutely prohibitad. Tho praciico of voting oxtre componsation to ofticials or con- tractors, which hag boon o fruitful source of cor- ruption, is also stoppod, Tho provisions in ro- gaxd to raflroads aro brond and sweoping, With tho adoption of the now Conatitution, the roign of tho Ponusylvania Company will come toan ond, There will bo a genoral raflroad Inw, un- der which individuals or corporalions may con- atruct o rallrosd botween any two points in the Btate, and chartor-brokorage will bo stoppod for- over, Consolidntion of compoting lines I8 pro- hibited nudor ponnlty of forfoiture of charter.

Lo water- ing of stock is forbiddon, Freo pusscd ara not to bo lssued; thoe amount of damugos for injury or loan of life connot be [imited by tho Loglaln- turo; aud n passouggor mny atop off and take nn- othor traln on his ticket without oxtra chiargo or annoyance, Tho articlo, In ono word, hasboon framed to muoot all the prosont abisoes, monopo- lios, tyrannios, and annoyancos which rallrond companies are socustomod to oxerclso ovor tho publio, Othor important roforms have already beon auggestod. in tho Convention. It is proposed that tho Bupromo Court shall consiot of sovon Judges, who shall bo appolnted by the Governor, shall hold offico for twenty-ono years, snd shall bo inoligiblo to re-oleotlon. Itinnlso proposed that tho Circult Judgos shall bo olooted by tho Btato at largo, and that courts (not of record) shsll o olaated on o goneral ticket by tho volors of citles of 200,000 inhabitants, or moro, to take furisdiotion in polico matters and small causos now In tho hands of Justicenof the Poaco and Aldormon, Thouo changes in tho Judiclary aro prompted by the desiro to remove tho Judges from the influenco of rallroad and other rich corporations that bave. horoto- foro controlled thom in many fnstances. T'azation and revenue iavo nlso received neoded nttontion. Tho indebtodnoss of citios is limited to 6 por cont of thelr taxablo properly, that of countios to 2 por cont, tmd that of townships to 1porcont. This makoes tho limit of the sggro- gate of local indebtodness 9 per cont, The dobt of tho State i3 ordored to bo roduced to §6,000,- 000. All taxntion must be uniform throughout tho Btato, and loviod and collected by gonoral laws, Mr, Buckalow will have a hard fight to socuro tho introduction of tho minority-repros sontation plan of voting. This has alrendy beon tried in tho borough system, and tho present Loglslaturo of Ponusylvania rocently repealed tho law suthorizing it, tho act of re- ponl roceiving tho smnction of the Gov- ernor, Among the questions likely to come bofore the Convention aro the following: Tho rogulations in rogard to selling liquor; com- pulsory education ; tho pardoning poswor; the Jury systom., It is said that the sontiment of tho Conventlon is in favor of absoluto prohibi- tion by the Constitution of selling lquor, It the Convention reaches oxtrome conclusions in pomo issue of this kind upon which thore are sorious differoncos among the people, it may . lond to the dofeat of their best measurca.

The peoplo of thoromaining Btatos maintained that they could be so bound. It s immaterinl for the purposes of Afr.

Noither seos in the othor the bost and nocessary result of tho present uudeveloped con- dition of society, but ench charges the conflicta betwaon the two to tho inberent dopravity and porsonal wickednesa of tho otbor. T'he laborer soes tyranuny in tho oxectlons of his employer.

Mr. Spencor secs, in both, the resultants of the conditions that surround them, and only Dlamos both for thoir failure to regard thom- solvos in the same philosaphical light. A bool upon servants, for aristocratic reading, entitles thom “Tho Grentest Plaguo in Lifo,” whilo a book upon employors, to bo read by servants, wonld of courso stylo masters and. mistronses “Tho Girontest Plague in Life.” Whilo Mr. Spon- cor contomplatos with seronc satisfaction the folly which inspires both theso claeses in tholr contosts with oach other, ho raises a new issne with both of thom,—that they aliko misappro~ hond theirown interests. Workingmon ought ta know that a moro oqual distribution of wealth and ‘“bettor forms of industrinl organization would grow up and extinguish thia which they re« gard as oppressivo, wore such better forms prace ticablo,” Tho power of tho capitalist is thio componantion herecaives for rogulating tha courso of industry and thio oxchange of products, and, though the shara of the proceeds of indus- try which now go to pay forits rogulation i3 probably excossive, and will be lossened undor futuro systoms, ¢ at pregont it has tho justifica- tion that it alono succoods.” Bo much to the workingman, To the capltalist, Mr. Bponcor arguos that ho would bo linppior with less monoy; or rathor that, with the onward sweep of socioty, conditions will so chango that unselfish policies will supply moro largoly tho comforta of lifo, whilo ontailing loss caro and vosation. Tho fendal Baron of two conturies sgo would have snoored at the possibility that his succossor, tho Earl of to-day, could live without o moated cag- tle, without armed rotriners, could have gono abroad without stoel mail, lanco, or sword, and yot enjoy, not only greator oclu) powor, but more froodom, than those oncumbrances would havo aupplied. So our madorn baukors, railway kings, aud land-holders, who drudgo liko hirod clorks under the load of dotails their business involves, would snoor at tho prediction that & gocial condition ia approaching in which their postority will enjoy far moro roal woalth, means of culture, health, leistre, and social power and fraodom, without, than thoy now enjoy with, thele vast monapoly of proporty, which they can neither cousuwmo nor laber with directly, but can only Invest and superviso, Mr. Spencor, thereforo, condemns tho ¢ porvading the- ory of lifo” entorfained by the capitalist clags, viz: that the monopoly of yast wealth Ly individuals is conducive to tho happiness of its posscssors, as being ‘“‘as mistakon aa it is ignoble, We quoto the fol- lowing as o singular concassion by philoophy to tho sounduess of the chiof aud most diflicult claim of Christianity, viz: that, to insuro hap- pinoss, solt-lovo must bo modifled and balanced Dy tho lovo of our noighbor : ‘Tho pleasure-hunting lifo fails, for the reason that it Teavos largo parte of tha soturo unexcrcleed,—It nog- locta tho eatistaction gulued by successful nctivity, and thero Is misaing from it tho sorono consciousnens of korvices rendared to ofliers, Egofetic enjoyments continuously pursued pall, becauso tho appetitos for thom are sutlated in times much eborter than ouz waking lives givo us, leaving tithes that aro ellber empty or spont In offorts to got enjoymont ufier desiro s censed, They pall aléo from tho want of that broad contrast which avises when a moiety of life fs activoly ovcupled, Theso negative cuusca'of dis- satisfaction aro Jolnad with tho positive cause fudicated ~tlio absenco of that contout gaiued by succoseful achiovemeont, Ono of tho most pussive aud enduring guatifications {a tho scnse of personsl worth, over afrosh demonstrating itself to consclousness by offoce tual nction; aud au idlolifo is tslked of its hopes partly becauso {t lnoks this, Lantly, tho npliod abe ‘souco of altrulstio activitics, or of uctivities felt to boin siom way gervicenble to allicrs, Lrings kindred evils— an absenco of corfain posilivo plessures of o high order not eanlly oxhausted, nud a further falling back ou cgolitfo plensures, ngain tending toward entioty And sll this, with its reaulling wearlness and discon: tont, we may traco to a soclal organization undor which thore conies to the regulating classes a shavo of produce great euough to make possible lnrge accuinis 1atlous that support uscless descendunts, In the modo of oxprousing thoso idens there in the mere shade of novolty whioh attaches to Mr, Bponcer's philosophical style.
