What with Durzea in Washington and Wenen in Now Orleans, the Democratio ease bas fallen into qneer hand: i Y A conflict of jurisdiction between the State snd Federal Courts is imminent in South Carolins, where four rovenue officars have been indicted in the Binte Court for killing a moonshiner who fired upon them while stlempting an arrest, The Circuit Judge refuses to transfer their cases to tho United States ourt, upon the curious theory that tho killing was done by the officors as an et of sclf-defenss, and not in the perform- auce of their datics. Tho United Btates law provides n way for transforring such cases, and when it comos to a writ of Aadeas corpus in the hands of a United Statos Marshal there will be no alternntive for these Bouth Carolina haters of all revenus officials but to hand them over. An intoresting lssne of veracity has sprung up between Earl Deany and Lord Sarisnony, The former, in n speech delivered yostorday in the Honse of Lords, assorted that smong the questions npon which he could not agres with lhis collengues in the British Cabinet wns a proposition that England should suddenly and secrotly seize Cyprus ond a point on the main laud, by the ald of the froshly-imported Indian troops stationed at Malta, and without the foreknowledge or consont of the Sultan,—an mct which Dzroy correctly asaerts would lave startled all Europo at that time.

He mndo noble effort, but only succeeded in inducing o few wonk-looking clonds {o make their appearance in the wost, out of whick rain conld not have boon squeezed by any amount’ of prossuro, The wind would not bo ‘veered,” but continued to blow steadily from tho southwest, or St, Louls, and the next morning the thermome- ter atartgd in afrcah for o race up among the ninctics, Orp ProdavmuiTizs Lad the thor. ometer against him, the wind agninst him, the sun against him, and not a cloud in the beavons to belp bim; but o did not despair, Ho took his winds, his arcas of thermomoter aud barometer, his velocitios and Pressures, stirred thom all up togother, and, when thes mixturo had settled, he boldly announced : ‘*For the Uppoer Lake region, Upper Missis- sippi oud Lower Missouri Valleys, partly cloudy weather and froquent rain, warm, southiwestorly winds, followed from north. wand by s coldor northerly wind, rising bar- omeler, followed to-morrow in the west dls- triot by falling baromater and wind.z shifting to warmer southerly.” Every oue “lse had given up hopo as the hot blast- from 8t Louls continued.

Men and women dropped dead hore und there, shiot with the arrows of the sun, and the poor beasts of burdon patiently and uncotnplalaingly broiledalong the streats, stoggered, and fell. The sun wont down amld the thanks of thousands, whio cared littlo whether they ever aaw it again. And still tho southiwest wind blew from Bt. Lonls upon them. In the evening, that there might bo no mistakona to its dircction, the familiar Urldgeport stinks wers waftod over the Bouth Bide, aud added {helr load of sickening vopor to the iutolerant bur. den of heat. DBut O, P, was still o work, When the sun weut down, it set be. bind heavy banks of clouds, When the red moon rose, its light came fitfully througl cloudy ridges, O, P.'s *‘increased cloudi. ness ' waa at hand. In tho west, after sun. set, the cloud-banks wero rent with forks and cbains of lightning, ebowiug that O, P.'s “frequent rains” were pouring down a benediction somowhera upon aweltering people and parched fclds, So Wednesday night wore ou. A little after midnight, the wind blew stronger, aud it came from the wost, O. P.s winds were beginning * to veer,” Il was the climax of the struggle. For a few hours 0. P, had tho worst of it, and for the first hour or two after the sun rose yestorday he blazed his hottest boams across acloudless sky, O. P. was weary, and wiped his hot brow, but Le did not despair, Ouco more he shook up his waterials and an- nounced: *‘For the lake region, colder, partly cloudy westher, occasional showers, variable winds, stationary or higher pres. sure.” Then he arose and put forth one supremo effort, and straightway the ocold wiud came rushing down from Hudson's Bay, Great cool clouds came over the Winnipeg plaing, crossed Lake Buperior, and bur. ried down Lake 3lichigan, bringing bealing sud blessing upon their wings, apd suffexing huwanity took in great draughts of the brace ing breezo.

All men are human, and, being human, st maoke mistakes, Tho mistaka that O. P. mado wan in placing too much reliance upon the God-forsaken region of Manitoba asa cold-wavo producer. But, aven in this ro- spoct, it will bs remembered that his ntter. ance was very conservative. All that he put on racord was: ‘* A docided fall in temper. atnro is entering the United BStates from Manitoba,” Ha did not say bow much of a fall. He did not aay it was coming to Chieago. o did not say where it was going or how long it would stay. 1lo was so busy watching the little wave ** for a cont " from Manitoba that ho overlooked the bigger one from Hudson'a Bay; but, neveriheless, the Maniloba wave got into the United Btates, and he fonnd it at Sionx OCity, In., on tho Missouri Liver, whero 1t bhad passed at 8 o'clock on ''uesday night, knocking the ther- mometer down from 83 to 68, It was the end of the wave, however, for a faw Lounrs afterward the southwest wind from 8t. Lonis met it and knocked it endways, and the ther- Tometer ran up t6 90. Then O, P. gavo up the Manitoba wave in disgust, ond turncd his attention to the north, and caught a wind that lind been onthejco nlongtime. All over Miuncsota and Northorn Michigwn it was knocking thermometars down to 77, roache ing us fn time for breakfast yesterday morn. ing, and making good our assertions that, s 8 place of summer resort, Chicago has no equal. Wo regret to observe n disposition upon the part of 8t. Louis peoplo who camo up hera on Tuesday aud Wednesday to com- plain that Chicago was & hot place. It wad bot because the wind was southwest, and the southwest wind comes from 8t. Louls, and they sailed up here on their own trade-wind. Chicago Is not responsiblo for that 8t, Louiwwind. We do not likait. It is the wind that brings us missmatic odors, It is tho wind that burned usup seven years ago, and tried to do it again four years ngo. It is tho only wind that makss us uncom. fortable. The winds that come from tho south part of the compass are Bt, Louis, Cairo, aud Cincinnati property, in which we have no lot, and for which wo are not ro- spousible in anuy way. The Lroczos that make Clicage so famous as a place of sum- mer resort, that mako our dsys so pleasant ond our niglhts so cool, como from Lake Su. perior, the cold waters of Hudson's Bay, and the icobergs of Labrador.

OF coursa the constitutional ,objections to snch a pro- gramwe ara not cvon considorsd, The uoney of the Constitution is gold aud silyer, Tho Bupreme Court has decided that the lssneof & forced legal-tender irradesmable currency is confiued tothe exigencics of war, and that the volume must be limited to the lssue authorized as & war measure. A law was passed forcing mon to accopt Government promisos to pay as real money snd In full discharge of dubts, justas laws aro passed during wor suthonizing the seizare of wen andcompelling them to fave the fire of tho enewy and run the risk of losing life, timb, or health, Buat In time of profound peaco the Government would scarcely dare to order the seizure of won to bo useld s targets for rifle or cauunon practite; yet it would be just as unlawful, and scarcely loss infamous, for the Governmeut in time of profound peace to fesus unlimited bits of poper stamped as absolute money, sud to compel people to accept theso bits of paper in full payment of debts due them for value roceived, or in exchange for horses, cattlo, hieat, or lubor. Thls Is what the Brick 'oMEsoY party proposcs, and they sre fyiug falso colors when thoy call themselves “ Groenback ® men. Auy set of men who commit themselves to so idiotlc snd outrggeous a schome as is outlived in the platform we have quoted from care no more sbout baing cousistent {ban thoy care elout law or justice, It w not surprising, therefore, that in one resoluticn it jw exprewely de- manded that “every dollar of such imme of legal-tender, lawful mouney [L e, “ab- solute flat moncy"] shall. be protected 8% par with other lawful -money in gold and silver cein®; and, ju‘the very nest vesolu- tion, the domand iy wade for *the uucon- ditional repeal of the so-called Resumption Now,'there is just oue way.of pro- tecling &, paper curreucy at par with gold aud silver oofu, and that is by redeomlng such ‘paper in caln on domand.

We are in favor of a Government onrrency to-the extent that the busincss of the peoplo re- «uire it, and governed striotly by the ability of tho Government to protect it at par with coin; bat this condition is dotermined by the ability of tho Government to furnish the coinin exchange for the paper currency whenever coin is demanded.

THE S80UTH AND SECESSION. Wo printed eomo days ago Jerr Davis’ lntest speoch in defenss of Stata Bovereignty and the right of socession,—principlos of government which ko hoped to sea restored befora his doparturs from this world, We yeaterday published an article from the Vicksburg Herald in which Davis is sevoroly overlinuled for making such n speach. The Vicksburg paper laments the delivery of the speech bocause of its effact upon the Northe orn mind, rather than Lecanse of anything the spocch itself asserts, . Jerr Davis know tho seutiment of that wing of the Dumo- cratio party of which he hns been for thirty yoord tho head, and when he preachod u Constitntion of which - sccossion was o vital prineiplo, and urged thst tho Bouth so conduct itself as {o re-cstab- lish the pro-slavory Oonatilution ns it was in- terproted by the South bofora the Rebollion, Lio knew that he addressed a poople to whom the doctrino was not only familiar end ac- coptable, but was also precious, because “consecrated by the bleod of so mauy Southern men.” Tho* Vicksburg paper condemns tho spcech because it was un. necessary and unwise at this time whon the South is asking so much, and hopes to obtain so much from the confiding, doughface liber. olity of the North, Tho feolings of tha Ilerald, which doublless aro largely shared at tho South, aro strongly cxpressed in a fow sontences, Thus: Mr. Davis’ Misslsslppl spcech 1s an outspoken, fouted, unmtstakavle, unnucessnry, and uns sccovsinn apeect, arned a8 he [12AvIN] fs, It scems necessary for o to loamn onu morw lesson=the priceless léason of siteace. il ‘TI'he nnwisdom of an nnnecossary spocol at o tiwo when “silonce " was priceless iy, aftor all, tho burden of Southorn complaint apnst Jeer Davis aud his pro-slavory, secession specch. To a:gue, e ke did, that the origind not of sccession wns o coustilutional right, "that the War waged In its defonus was purcly patriot. ism, that tho degenernoy of tho Government sinca control Lnd passed info tho hauds of tho conquerors was proof that there mnst be n relurn to the old principles of State Sovareignty and socession,” and thelr full recoguition, und that the Houth Lad nover promised to reaaguize tho political usurpa. tious of tho conquerors, such aa the politicat equality of tho wegroos, aud should main. tain its dovoliou to theold theories, that black men had no rights which whito men wero bound to regand, so that in due timo it may consistently assort the supremacy of tho whites and romand the negroos. to their former poljtical it not thoir personal bondage, was, however true and ne. ceptable to the Bouthurn whites gencrally, highly jmpolitio. The mujority of the voters fn Misslusippi ave colored men, It is essontlal, {n ordor to overcowe that mnjority, to divide that vote aud cruuls out avery ves- tigo of Itapublicanism in the State, To every colored man who will vota the Democratio tickot, pence and pursonal secarity will bo pronisod; while to the fresdmen who adhare 1o their owa convictions and soek to sup- port . their owu political organization, tho systom of fatimldatfon, bulldoziug, aud, i nocessary, personal outrage aud denth, will render Derocratlo supromacy yer. petual. Why sbould Davis wara the North- ern poople that the Bouth in time intends to roduce the nogro .to political servitudo, when the reduction to scrvitude is the point to Lo pgsined, and can bo sc. curod without alarming and ‘arousing publio seutimunt at the North? Henco it is thiat thoso at tho South who seck all the sub. stantial rosults of secession, and who es. peclally desira to silouce the African in poli- ticy, rogard Jerr Davis' oulspoken demaud that the South make n .bold effort to dlsenfranchise the nogro by a return to an exclusive white rule as *unvecesiary ™ and' *‘unwiee,” and lament his Ignorance of the priceless valuo of *silence,” It is for tho Northern people themselves to act in defonse of the political freedom of the Bouth., Congress must bo sccurcd agninst the return of the JEre Davis party to power. Nover at any time-wiuco the begig. uing of the War has theds been such an imperious nocessity for an auti-Jerr Davis House of Representatives, which will take care that the pohitival frecdom establisbied in the Bouthern States shall be waintained, and the subjection of the black race to political, sud of course personal, boudage be pre. veuted. 2 Mr. Porrea’s Sub.Committes in Now Or. Lians caughit o black Lartar.in the person of ono Doy, a colored resident of East Feli- ciana Parish, who bad acted as Parish Judge daring the election, and afterwards made an affldavit before tho Returalug Board charg. ing intimldation, Tus Democrats expactod to dud in this person another of their por- jured wituessow, willing to swear uow that he swore falsoly in 1870, lastead of thi, Dova testified, in response’ to Gov. Cox’s in- terrogatoiics, that Wesss bad, withina fow dayy, offered bitn a bribs of $500 to give this kind of testimony; that he had re- ceived 350 on sccount, and that he was to receive tho balance after supplying Sv rogaired perjury, The truth of (e mlory was virtnally admitted by Weoen nnd n confederats named Mantiy (noting as Bergeant-at-Arms for the Sal-Committee) by their confossion that they had advanced the €50 ““msaloan.” This single instance i enflicient to impench all the testimony taken to corroborate the story told by Wenen. ‘Wenen Limself is an impacunions political adventurer, who has confessed that he used his position in the Lenisiana Senate for pur. Pores of blackmail, and it is in entire keep- iog with his charncter and antecedents that hie shonld now bribs mon to swear falsely in support of his own perjury. Buat neither Wener nor tho Bergeant-at-Arms, Mantiv, employed at possibly £2a day, has the monoy to purchase testimony, and it is evident that (ths bribery once proved) the funds for tiat purpose must have boon furnished hy mon of higher position and more moans. Bribery is ravaly oxposed in such plain terms s Doza employed, and, if no other caso be mado out,-tho fact that tho attempt was mnado in one instance is protty clear evidonce that it has beon mado in ofher instances not exposed. Somebody, then, is fnrnishing moncy with which to buy witnosses to make out the Dswocratio chargo of fraud, The testimony of Axoersox, Wesen, and all who purport to corroborate thom, is now easily understood. Al these fellows are charging themselves with previous porjnry because they are paid for it. Thero onght to e no diflenlty in securing any desired number of witnesses among Loulsiana small politi- ciang at a vory low rate.

The lahorer enters tha fleld of econom- ical relations not only as & producer, but alsoas a conanmer, and any aaverss ehange fn his financiat relations ks a_prodncer contects his capacity ns s cunsumer. Every decre in cnn!umrllnn atill further leasona tiie demand for Jabor, aull farther weakens the gap hetween supply and demand, still further reduces the Jaborer's wages, And thus the ‘mrocess goes on by reclprocal action and renction, miercliessiy, relentlensly, for tho Jaws of poiftical ccouoiny are as constuut as the laws of naturo wirch cuntrol the forces of tho inanimate world. 1t 14 plein tuat the only way ot of tho disagroo- able rat into which the nation hss got itaelf 19 by metting all those in forced 1dienems at work and keepinz everybody tn constant work for sll time, But how s this to bo accompilshed when there 1 no work to £iva? - And yet Liure is o way. 1t 19 that of lessenin,: the hoars of labor, 1f tho honrs per day are sbortened so thatall may have work, the praseut flerce and Fulyous compatition for labor will ve destrayed, wages will bo fair, cone sumption witl Loat its higat, and foternal coms merce wifl be in the bioom of activity., Thaes will Ve no actual poverty, except for those unable or unwilling to work, ‘Tha laborer and tho copitallet will bo alike benofited Ly the stimulus of pros- perity and actvity. and comfort and happiness will Do within tho reach of uvery one. Thus only can tho country arrive at a revival of *‘govd times, " A WonkixoMax, ‘This is the old cight-hour proposition over again, It has been proposed s million of times, and ‘will undoubtedly be proposed a million of timesmore. Lot us proseut it in o shape that will be casily understood, There aro now, wo shall say, threo millions of men of the citios and towns working ton Lours a day, excopt in the winter, witen thay avorage abont ocight homrs. This unmbor supplios the domand for stoady employment. ‘Thon wo will estimato 600,000 workmon un. omployed, or engaged on transisut jobs, and living partly off thelr frionds, or on charity, We shall call theso tha 1dle workmon, and the problem is, hiow to got them at steady work, 'The plau proposed s to radnse the hours of labor of the 3,000,000 wlio ure employed, enough to lot fu the 600,000 who are fdlo. It thoso nmow working 'ten lours in spring, summor, and - fall, and eight Lours 1 wintor, would surryader iwo hours of their time, and labor only eight hours in suwmer aud six hours in wiutor, tha servicos of the idle 600,000 would bo called into requisition, The whole 8,600,000 would then porform tho samo amount of labor that tho amployed 3,000,000 do now. ‘Tho nmount of wealth created wonld con. tinue to bo the same. The production of the cities and towns would not bo changed. Honeo the compensstion would necessarily have to bo tho same in the sggrogate. ‘TlLe smount of wages now paid to the 3,000,000 would then be divided among 3,600,000 work. ingmen. Five mon wouli bo employed where only four are at work now; but tha wagos now paid to four Jong-time men would then be divided among five sbort-time men, If four men now earn %10 a doy, or &2,50 cacly, five then would carn 810 o day, or §2 oplece, for mon can't bo paid for more than they earn. Tho problem thon really rosolves fitsclf into this shape: Ara tho present employed workmen willing to give up 20 per cont of their daily, woekly, or monthly wages for tho #ake of securing two hours' tiwe for repreation now devoted to labor, ju order that the adle mon may obtalu work? If they roally prefer shiort pay for short work to long pay for long work, nothing can prevent tho change from beiug made whenever thoy ploase. ‘Thers is no law sgainst the adop. tion of reduced hours of labor, It is purely & mattor of ngrovwmont botweon the em- ployo aud employor, and the law enn- unot atop in betwaen men and forbid them maoking contraots with each other for lubor or wages. Whenever tha workingmen make up thelr miuds to work only vight bours, and sre williug to acoept four-fifths of tho pay they now yecelve for ten hours' Iabor, the ciglt-hour system will be adopted, but not sooucr, No law can bo enforced to compel employers to pay men for two bours’ labor each day after they have quit worl, becanso cmployers cannot bo compelled to mnke donstions of wages for no service randered, 1f they should undertake to do that sort of bosiness, thers would be a race botween tho Blen¥ auda Roociver as to which would first got possession of the es. tablishment where tha system of teu hours' pay for eight hours’ work was in practice. Paying men two hours’ wages after they quit work would be the same thing as giving away one-fifth of the goods produced in the shop, ‘‘froe gratis.” How long could any establishmont stand that style of business and keep out of the baukrupt ocourt?
