Both Houses of the Alabama Legislature have organized. The message of Governor Parsons: delivered to the Legislature, urges the adop- tion of the Constitutional amendment abolish- ing slavery, and the passage of laws protecting the negro in his person and property. This course, he says, will securesthe admission of our representatives in Congress, and restore the State to all her political rights in the Union. He offers a special code for the government of the negro, and 1ecommends the adoption of a vagrant law bearing upon the whites and blacks alike. He also recommends that pro- Vision be made for destitute white and black persons. Jose Garcia Ortera, proprietor of the Havana Theatre, was robbed of eight or ten thousand dollars Wednesday ight and brutally mur- dered, near the Cent: Park, Brooklyn. The murderer is supposed to be Jose Gonezaies, who was last seen in his company. No arrests have been made.

The Chilian Govern- ment does not propose at present to fit out pri- vateers, or even issue letters of marque. No persons are authorized to purchase arms or war material here. Atthe Tobacconist’s Conyention, in New York, on Wednesday, a resolution was adopted hepa ag effort to secure a modifieation of the revenue law, respecting leaf and manu- factured tobacco, and adjourned sine die, after which the delegates partook of an elegant ban- quetat the Astor Honse.

A-short time before this communication was made the Secretary of State informed Minister Dayton that the statement made to him (Mr. Dayton) by M.

SouTH CAROLINA AND THE FreepMEN.—In the South Carolina Legislature, last week, an amendment to the bill to regulate the relations of the freedmen, proposing to make marriages of white and colored persons illegal and void, called forth remarks from several gentlemen, but was finally rejected as superfluous. The most exciting part of the discussion, however, was over a proposition to strike out the pro- vision requiring the masters or mistresses of colored ee to teach a some — or business. was strongly supported by a member representing the mechanical inter- ests of Charleston, who contended that the proper place for the negroes was on the - tations, and that if they are allowed to learn trades, they will — the white mechanics of employments. Other members maintained that they had no constitutional right to block any industrial ayenue against the freedmen, and that white men, in ae to reninee ne of their superiority to negro wing the latter to come into rivalry with them, are in effect conceding that they do not consider him really their inferior. T vs to strike out was finally laid on the by sey- enty yeas to thirty nays. S7 President Johnson has replied to the re- uest of Gov. Humphreys, of Mississippi, for the removal of the national troops from that State, that they will be withdrawn whenever it becomes manifest that peace and order can be maintained without them. The President adds that measures should be adopted to give the freedmen such protection as will enable them to assume all their constitutional rights. Gov. Humphreys has also telegraphed the President that negro troops a few days ago took possession of a railroad train at Lauder- dale Springs and insulted ladies.

The hearing on the hours of labor before the Commission ited for the purpose, reeumed at the House last evening. A statement was first made by Mr. Leander Wetherell, in the interests of the farmers. number of hours employed upon the said, were on the average for twelve. For six months, from Until firet of October, it was Toa much greater extent was it farmer that owns his farm. farmers was that they expect season, to work from sun to # no such thing asan eight or Many of these farmers are in qvently feel constrained to hours asthey can, and exercise all omy possible. With regard to the meals, in tog 4 time, about an hour is used. Many of the ers keep dairies, and usually desire that twelve hours shall pass between the milkings; and if the eight-hour « were adopted it would the two mi within the eight hours, and ths would to ruin their business. The farmers have found it ni hours in order to support themselves. bave reterence to fancy farmers.

Education did not st merely in poring over books. The pation of women on the farm was as com- mon in many States as it was to employ men. However, he did not = pe ofat. Such were mostly foreigners. who would do as much labor as the men. It was not practiced in New England. He considered it, foweven, just as honorable for a woman to take care of a flower garden as it was for a man. It was better for ber health and tended to make home py. It was Inmentably true that women ty 4 do as much work as mrn, at a lower price. It Was so, too, with female teachers in Schools, many of whom were superior in point of ability than many of the male teachers, put who receive comparatively small pay. Many farmers, be said, overworked themselves: yet he could speak of tens that snffered on ac- count of underwork where there was one that overworked. Farmers will endure much more work when working for themselves than they would if working for others. The farm- er’s work is unlike thatof indoor or shop work, and consequently induces a different set of muscles, and has in view different interests, which enables him to prosecute his various works without languor, although it was all bard work. He did not think overwork had any tendency to blunt the mind. Take the rank of business men, he thought, from observation, that there was more general intelligence among the farmers than all others. This was an independence that gave great charm to their character. He had a wider field in which to improve his mind, and in this connection hs could account for the fact why so man: young men leave the plough for the store and count- ing-room. Farming would be made pleasant by resolving to be a farmer, and once makin, this resolve he is contented. It was so wit! everything else. It was not drudgery for those farmers who love their business. The average wages of farm labor was varied. Before the war a laborer received about $20 a morth, which included boarding and washing. Since that time from $$ to $5 more has been paid. Agricultural machinery had greatly reduced the amount of labor and was making them independent, al- though itrequired more attention and produced more weariness to tend such machinery than it did to swing the scythe. In regard to over- work, he thought the women on a farm were more apt to indulge in overwork than those elsewhere. The wife should work no more hours than the husband. With regard to em- ploying the leisure time of the farmers, in most ot the towns of the Common wealth there are li- braries and farmers’ clubs, which are among the opportunities to improve the mind, bat with many there was no want of desire to Tread, especially matters pertaining to the prosecutton of their ny enone The increasing tenden- cy to read agricultural newspapers, howey: was noticed. — = The effect of a law legalizing eight hours as & day's labor would be ruinous to the farmer. Ifthe labor was curtailed the supply would be diminished, and conseq uently the price of farm products would be much higher than at pree- ent. He could not see how an eight-hour law could cure the disease. Those nit are am pit ists as jt SSHs8ed tadearvatr with the caj ‘was with the employees.

No species of dition of the laboring classes. Mr. F. Crofut, hatter, said men of his trade were earning large wages at present, and worked about eight hours a day—they mostly worked by the piece. Hatters were proverbial for earning good wages; it was so through combination, and he thought that combinatiogn instead of legislation would be better for the mechanic and laborer. They had norales con- trolling the hours of labor.
