Thero is no discussion of. the Sunday-beor question in Cincinnati, which is thore rogarded a8 dofinitely sottled in favor of boor everywhero and at all times; but, in place of this, ia the vory practical considoration of the prico which ought to bo charged for boor. Tho Commercial has taken tho sido of the boor-drinkors ns againat tho browers and vendors, and holds it to bo propostorous that they should demand five conta for o emall glass while the superior boverago of Munich is sold for flve conta n quort, It maintains that, *if the Gorman con- sumers wore put off . with such docoitful littla apologies for ‘schoppens’ of beor as tho Pitts- burgh and Clneinnati beor-glasses, thore would bea univorsal robellion i a week.” It appoars, t00, tha tho Amoriean pooplo drink more boor, though thoy take it in smaller allowances and at higher prices, than is drank in Gormany. Tho average consumption of beer in the North Gorman Confodoration is put down at 212 quarts por hoad snpually, whilo tho American consumption averagos 25X quarts por head. As the main ingredionta in the manufacture of beor are water and barley, it would seem as though the complaint that beer is too high in this country {a woll founded, The Industrinl Congress at Cleveland, having accomplished the work of organization, has adopted a numboer of resolutions, which will give tho public & fair idea of tho objects and mothods ot tho quarter of a million workmon whom it ropresents. Thoy doclaro thomselves favorable to the immigration of all frco labor, but demand Governmenial protection ngainst (ho competition of labor imported undor contract to serve a fixed period at cortain wages. Co-operation s resolved to Yo tho solution of the Oapital and Labor Quos- tion, and Congress is nsked to pass lawa to mesuro it & fair trial.

Tinally, the Congress calls for the establishment of National and Btate Labor Bu- rons, which shall collect statistics, and digout ‘plans and roform for tho amelioration of tho la- boring classes. THE SEEFPHERD.DANA CASE, Whatover may be tho morits of the contro- versy botween Mr, Dana, the editor.of the Now York Sun, snd Mr. Aloxander R. Shepherd, of tho Washington Board of Public Works, tho public will rojolco that Judgo Blatehford rofused to pormit a local Polico Court of tho District of Columbin to oxtond its authority over the citi- zons of Now York and other States, tako thom to Washington for trial without indictment, and subject thom to conviction without a jury. The articlo to which Mr. Bhepherd mainly objooted, if wo romembor right, was that printed in the Sun representing him to be a stockholder in the Motropolitan Paving Company, which is largely engaged in tho publio works of Washington. Mr. Bhopherd belloved, or professed to believe, that this was o libol. Libel, undor the law of tho District of Columbis, is & misdomeanor, It wag hold $hat the alleged libel was uttered in the District, as the papor contalning it was eiroulated thore, An afiidavit was mado gotting forth the chinrge, and tho Washington Police Court issued an order for Mr. Dana's arrest. It was under this order that Mr., Shopherd hoped to have Mr, Dana taken to Washington, whero, as he ovi- dontly bolieved, ko would have a botter chanco of convicting him. 'The proseccution of tha caso partoak rather of tho naturo of a porsccution. Mr. Dana was first brought up bofore United Btates Commingioner Davenport, of Now York, who would gladly have sent him to Washington if he bad dared, sud who refused to nccept buil. Tho case waa thon taken beforo Judgo Blatchford by tho defondant, when bail wos granted and n dey wot for argu- mount. There secomed to bo two points dead against the position takon by Alr, Bhepherd's perty. Thero ia o United States law which pro- hibits thoe requisition of accused porsons, excopt upon indictment. Thore was no indictment in this caso, but o committal by an ordinary Pollcu} Court. The Constitution of the United Statos also guarantees ovory offonder a trial by jury, ‘which Mr. Dana could not have received boforo this tribunal. Judgo Blatolhford summarily dis- posed of tho case by deciding that tho dofoudnnt was ontitled to s jury triclat hia first arrost, und thoerefore could not bo givon up to a Wash~ ington Police Court which bas no jurisdiction over his caso, A vory dangorous precedent would have beon #ot by pormitting Mr, Dana to be dragged from Lis home in New York to tho District of Colum- bia to be'tried for libol before a police Dogherry. This would have been contralization with a ven- gonnce. It would Liavo boen & notlce to tho Ad- ministration and tho gontlomen undor its ospecial patronage that thoy might, whenover objectionablo articles woro printed in tho nowse papers thronghout tho country, havo the offend- ing oditors produced in Washington upon an or- dor of & Pollca Justloe, which can alwaya bo ob- tafned by s loose affidavit. On this basis the ‘Washington Pollce Justicos would soon become tho most important men in the country, and would Lo a sort of spoclsl King's Bench mnaintained for the protsction of tho e Aememmant afllninla amainet oribinlam Bhophord must hinve an oxnggorated idos of the progross madetoward centralization it hobelleved that tho Unlted Btates Courts woro proparod to rdcognizo thoright to Issuo ordors of arrest from ‘Washington Polleo Conrta for tho whole country, IMis individual defent in this easo Is inaignificant as compared with tho dofoat of ihe prinoiplo which ho ropresonted, and of the genoral pur- pose which Lo had in view. It is now portinont to suggest t6 the anomalous jlocal Government in tho District of Columbia that any moro at- tompta of this kind to assort ite dominion over the United Btates of Amorica will tond to induco tho pooplo to abolish its pigmy oxiatonco, nnd with it the littlo assumption of tyranny which it 1s 80 anxious to oxerolse, FARMERS AND * PROTECTED" MANUFAC- TURERS, The Pittaburgh Commercial repoats its warn- ings to tho farmers of tho West that, if tho spocial bonntios now granted by law to cortain classes of manufacturors boabolished, thochange will drivo a million of mon who are now * con- sumors " of bread to become farmers, and, thore- fore, producors of broad, It warns thom that to abolish protectivo taxes will roduco tho cost of manufactured goods, and that labor employ- od in factorios, rocolving reduced wages, must purchingo loss corn, or go to farming for s living.

It will bo econ, therofore, that whon the Protectionists alloge that, if tho avorage bounty of 49 percoent ox- torted from the poople nominally to protect tho Inbor of the protocted classes, thero will be a million of adults driven to become farmers, and ontor into competition with the producers of grain, thoy talk wildly. Porsons who have beon raised in citics, and have been ongaged in mechanical and factory work, cannot bo driven by any stress of oircumstances to be- como farmers. Thoro are at this momont thou- sands of men in oach of tho large eities oarning o precarlous living, who could find good homes and constant and libersl wages for themsolvos and their familics by going into the country and working on farms. But noither famine nor the lash could drive thom to doso. The farmers of the West could givo em- ployment and homes to an immonse army of both mon aud women, and would pay them liberal wagoa if thoy counld got them, It is one of tho gront ovils of the day that such a large propor- tion of the laboring population profer to live in tho cities, struggling with poverty and ox- poscd tonll tho temptations and vicos of city lifo, rathor than go into the country and earn a cowfortable and respoctable living by farm- work, It is also a great ovil of the day that the farmors cannot rotain their own sons and daugh- tors on the farms, and that these, too, abandon the healthfulness and intogrity of ag- ricultural lifo to tho potty clerks, salosmen, aor- vants, and wage-laborers, in citios, Whon these Protectionists talk about emptying their facto- rioa and sonding their laborors out on the farms, it the spocinl bounties to a fow manufacturing Intercsts be ropealed, thoy do not torrify any- body. So true is it that it is difoult to got sufficiont labor for the farms, that, woro it not for tho addition of such Inbor obtained from the annual immigration, it would not bo possible to incronso tho products of farma in proportion to tho Increaso of the population of tho country. The idon that tho Protoctloniats furnish from thelr mills tho “consumera® of farm products i a specious falschood. The same pooplo, if on- goged in o non-protooted occupation, would con-~ sume as muoky, Another spacious falsehood is that the objectof Protoction Is to give highor wagos to labor, Tho proportion of cash expended for wages of tho Joadivg manufacturos doos not excoed 18 por cont of the produot, tho fact boing that the pro- portlon of labor performed by machinory la au- nually growing greater, and that by human labor docrensing. Ton mon, with machinery, now do the worl which required forty mon twenty yoars ago. The eapitalist onjoys tho samo hounty on tho product of his machinery that he does on tho labor of his workmen ; and, at the mosy, tho workman can only rocoive,” a8 his sharo of the avorage, 49 por cont bounty—tho proportion which bia wages bear to the valuo of tho thing nrodnnad whinh. . =e~ cant. Tho rest of the JULY, 18, 147 bounty ie swarded to tho eapital which hires tho Inboror and owns tho mnohinory. OALEB CUSHING AND KELLY'S D0, Oaleb Oushiug hes beon s public man for the Iast balf contury, mora or loss. Korty-sight yonrd ago he was roturned to tho Massachusetts Loginlature from his natlvo village, Nowbury- port, aud from thnt day to this ho has floated along on tho sen of politics, somotimes with his head above wator and somotimes with it undor, and moro froquently undor. When not in Con- gross, ho has boon in tho Logielaturo; whon not in tho Logislature, ho has boon in tho Couria; whon not in tho Courts, ho has boon mombor of tho Cabinot, or Bolicitor at Gonovs, or Mayor of Nowburyport,—tho Mayoralty of that thriving villago always boing kept opon for him whon ovorything - elso folled; and, a3 ovorything olso failod vory ofton, ho has therefors boon the Mayor of that thriving villago vory ofton, and Las always beon sound on the SBundsy-question, as affecting tho right of littlo boys to fish for ecola and floundors on the Lord's Day. Wit all his oppor- tunitios, howover, tho vonerable Calob has nover accomplished onough to entitle him to tho dis- tinotlunofhuingcnumlnNntlofinlbmolmtor. e has not succooded in atamping his impross upon tho age. Men and things have boon sadly against him, and his planots have novor been in favora~ blo conjunction. It is this roflection, probably, which has at lnat induced him to throw himself into tho breach and dotermine whother, in tho nbstract, man has any rights at night which a dog is bound to respoct; whother, in the con- oroto, he, Caleb Oushing, hes any rights which Kolly's dog is bound to rospoct. ¢ ho conducta this suit to & succossful issuo, ho will at last havo succecdod in conforring a bonefit upon tho wholo nation, for which futuro'ages will riso up and call him blessed. Ho will go into this suit with tho sympathios of every man who doosn's own a dog, snd ho will have tho prayers of a multitude of dolicate womon who are nightly driven to norvous distraction by tho prolonged Lowling of thodog in the next yard, who is only provonted from assalling tho moon by the stout- noss of his chain, and thereupon gives vont to his feclings in barcaroles of despair, varyiug from the surly, enapping viciousnoss of the mongrol yollow dog, who isonly fit to wash windows with, up to tho mighty diapason of the Nowfonndland, whoso croscondos are strong enough to wake up all tho other dogs in tho neighborhood, and sot them off in a fuguo of concentratod fiendishnoss, to which all the rooatery, guinoa-hons, and poacocks that are lying around loose contributo their most potont dissonances, Mr. Oushing sets forth in his complaint that ono Kolly doth wrongfully keep s dog, which now and aforotime ism nsod nnd accustomod to bark continnally by dsyand night, and that, on Baturdsy last, the dofondant did then and thero allow the dog to bark incossantly from early in tho day, throngh the whole day ond night following, and did theroby hindor and prevont tho plaintiff from studying and trananoting his lawful business by day, and doprivod him of hia sleep during the night, 5o aa injuriously to affoct his hLoalth and tho peacoful uso of his proporty, On this scoro ho claims 3,000 damagoa. Mr. Cushing hins thus commenced a crusade in tho intorests of the heslth and morals of the whole poople. It will bo oasy for him to show that theso canine nuisances gradually undormine health by depriving poople of sleop, and that thoy aro ruining tho morals of the pooplo by cousing profanity in every mneighborhood, and in almost every house. It is not every man who can rise from his couch and hurl his con- vonient boot-jack, or flud a brickbat largo enough, and, if ho did, the dog wouldn’t caro for thom, but would only bark tho louder, and, cherishing a revongoful feeling, would tho noxt dny probably gratify it by biting off a pieco of tho thrower's log, or koop him indoors all day by lying in wait for him at the front gato, pro- tending to bo asleop. If tho victim shonld bo so successful ns to shoot the dog, then all tho other dogs in the meighborhood would moke common cause against him, or tho dog's owner might shoot back. Thore is no safo way to got at tho dog excopt by got- ting at tho dog’s owner through the courts, or olso by tho use of “pizen,” The publio will theroforo oxpect Calob Cushing to do his whole duty in the premiges. Lot him oxhaust Black- stono, Kent, and Ohitty boforo ho gives in, Let him attack Kolly and Kolly's dog with buttors, robuttors, and surrobuttors, with injunctions, rojoinders, capiases, prucipes, deolarations, and all the other weapons in tho armory of the law, until he has overwholmed Kelly and forover shut tho nolsy mouth of Kelly's dog. {Lot him not look solely to himself and to his own convenionco, however, for that would be sol- fish. Lot him romombor that tho oyes of tho univorse are upon nm, and that ho is to-day tho vonerabla ropresentative, not of littlo pont- up Nowburyport, but of & boundless continent. Lot him, thorofore, obtaln a deoision ns broad a8 the continent, which may bosprend forth on tho Iaw-books, 8o that Kelly may bo n warning toall dog-owners from Maino to Orogon, and from tho Arctio to tho Antarctic, and Kelly’s dog & wamn-~ ing to all othor dogs, that silonco is goldon. It Caleb Onshing can accomplish this, ho will not have lived in vain, ‘What vistas of pleasant poscibilities opon to tho gazo of ono roflocting upon the Eupprossion of Kolly’sdog! That miserable animal is not tho only disturber of tho public porco and do- moralizorof tho publio tomper. There is tho ancient Thomas and his companion Tabitha, who mako night hideous with their unseomly court- ship undor one's windows, No antidoto has yot boon discoverod for tho bane of their nocturnnl Juukotings. Thoy bear charmed lives, They aro imporvious to the gontle porsuasion of boot- Jjacks, or tho convincing appeals of pistol-balla, One of our noighbora has flred abn cat, sitting and singing in his yard, night after night,without intorrupting her little tune, not to spoak of in- torrupting thoe cat, With unseemly profanity, ho vows to keop on practicing at the folino Troubndour If it takes all summor, notwith~ standing tho fact that no ono can venture out of doors after nightfall, owing to the eccontrloitios of hia ehooting. Tho cat, howevor, oan bo sup- proagod by Mr. Qushing in tho samo manner ns Kolly's dog. Then thorols the man who plays tho oracled violin, commencing about the time you aro composing yourself tosleop ; tho woman 'who knows but two tuncs and thumpa thom on tho plano all day and night;. the flond,who shouts * bor-rees, bor-recs” at 5 o'clock in the morning, and his alfer ego, the flond, who, an bour lator, when you are just rolling over for your finlshing nap, bawle ‘“fe-lah, fe-ish" undor your window; the life- insurance solicitor and tho vendor of patont nostrums; tho hand-organ man on the corner, and the children of Bunny Italy who make “moo-pik " ‘with fiddlo and harp, What a wide ond rioh field of labor is suggostod to Mr, Cushing in tho facts wo havo montioned!

Bonator Carpentot's plea in extenuation of tho sccoptanco of tho back pay was, that tho Constitution roquirea that tho *Bonators and Ropresentatives shall recefve a compensation for thoir sorvices to bo ascortalned by law,” and thorofors he waa compelled to roceive the com- peneation voted him by law. If this ploa be ‘worth anything, it is porhaps oqually operativa and binding in other cages. For inatanco, tho Constitution eays that tho Bonate * shall be com- posed of two Sonators from oach State.” Yot for noarly ton years tho Sonate was composod of Benators from only two-thirds of tho States; novertholess the Sonato olalmod to bo & logal body. Tho Constitution furthor declares that tho ‘Vico-Preaidont of the United Btates shall bo Prosidont of the Benato.” Yot tho Vice-Prosi- dent is not Prosidont of the Senato oxcopt whon ho ochoosos to attend, snd ho is ot full liberty to attond or not, ns ho plonscs. It is eald in tho Conatitution that the Prosidont ‘“shall hold his offico for tho term of four yonrs;" but his right to resign at any time is not quos- tioned. Despito the roquiremont that ho " shall hold his offico” for four yoars, ho may bo ro- movod at any time by impoachmont. Tho eame instrument doclares that the Judges of tho Bupreme Court *shall Lold thoir officos during good behavior.,” Yotnoono hoa ever denied thelr right to resign. In all theso cnses the torms used by thoe Constitution dofine tho right of tho officor to roceiva compeneation or fix tho torm of his office ; but thero ia no logal objection or difficulty in the way of Mr. Carpenter, or any othor Bonator, sending to tho Treasury of the United Btates any amount of money ho may possosa; aud, if he has & cloar conviction of his owning the monoy by constitutional enactment, tho Iess legal objection will thero bo to his free dsposal of it.

DoAbna are tho vouturesome spirits who propose to undortako this flight across tho eos, anda meoting of prominent gentlomon has been held to oncournge the undertsking. Col. Do Abna expressed his determination to make the trial for the benofit of mankind, and his beliof that it ‘would result succossfully. Ho eaid that ho was ou friondly terms with Prof. Wise, and * that the two oxpeditions would be in g spirit of friondly rivalry for s common object.” We should say that ono such venture at o time is enough.

Tho minority report showed that there wore irreconcilable differoncos botween tho pastor and the church upon the subjoct of fuauces, whilo the majority report wasg in favor of his remnining, and stated that the only financial difficulty was the fact that tho church wasin dobt, and that the ministor was in favor of having It paid off, and had made numorous appeals to tho liborality of tho peoplo. Both reports were taken undor ad- vigement, and, aithough tho large majority wishod him to romain, the minority roport was adoptod, owing to the fact that the signers of the minority roport included all the wealthy mon in the church, to whom constant appeals for Lib- orality woro probably distastoful. Miami University, at Oxford, Ohio, has sus- ponded, owing to Anancial embarrassments, Tho fact ia awarning which ought not to bodisregard- ed. Univorsities, so called, which are, in fact, nothing but boarding-achools, are scattered all over the land.
