Tue Eront-Hour Law.—The decision of Secretary Schofield regarding the eight-hour Jaw, passed at the last session of Uongress, that employees should receive buteight hours’ pay, has been referred to the Attorney General for his opinion. A number of Government em- Ployees presented a petition tothe President on this subject, in which they set forth in ex- tracts from the Senate debates, when the law ‘was pending in that body, the fact that several propositions, particularly one offered by Sena- tor Sherman, mtended to restrict the pay of workmen to eight hours, were voted down. From this the petitioners argue that the intent of the law was to give them ten hours’ pay for eight hours’ work, or, in other words, that Con- gress intended te make eight hours a legal day's ‘work for the workingmen of the country. The Position of the petitioners will probably be Sustained by the Attorney General, but it is Bot known when Ris opinion will be made public.

ATTORNBY GENERAL EvARTS yesterday left the city to spend a fortmght with his family in Vermont. Tue Reason Way.—The Washington cor- respondent of the Baltimore Gaze‘te makes the following curious statement : “The imperative standing order existing in the Treasury Department, that no temale shall enter the printing rooms of the building, is not generally understood, and ladies are generally Sisposed to construe it mto an unkind slur upon the sex. Not so, however, but just the opposite. The scene there witni is not suited to female eyes. Laboring men amid the machinery and in the over-heated rooms do not consult their toilets, but_address themselves only to their comfort. The only exception which has yet been made to the Tule was in the case of Queen Emma, and before she was introduced the workmen were notified and Tobed themselves accordingly. All other parts of this interesting department of the Govern- ment is open to “ womanly curiosity,” and the officers in charge are always affable and polite.” PouiticaL.—Vermont holds her State elec- tion on the Ist September. The foliowing bas been the vote during the past four years: seems likely to recaive the Republican nomination for Goyernor of Kansas. Gov. Crawford 1s becoming a formid- ompetitor of Sidney Clark for Congre=s. J.S. Kalloch, and Judge Thateher are also in the field, and bave many friends. — The new Georgia Senator is named Homer Virgil Milton Muller. — The following have beeu engaged to spealc in Michigan for Grant and Colfax during the present campsigu: Hon. E.M. Stanton: Gen. Jobn A. an. of Mimo; Senator KF. Wade, of Obio: Senator Cresswell, of Mary- land, Senator Harlan. ot lowa. — The action of Hon. Wm. B. Allison, (Re publican.) of lowa, im regard to the whisky tax. has displeased the Dubuque distillers, aud they have put up one J. K. Graves as an inde. pendent Republican candidate to compass Mr. Allison's defeat. —In the Ninth Ohio Congressional District there is a division in the Democratic ranks. — The New York Sun says: “A month ago bet- ting on the Presidential election was two to one in favor of Grant, This was the rate of Jobn Morrissey's famous bets, which, through misunderstanding, have given such umbraze im the Fourth Congressional District, and which, as we understand, have been with. drawn. Since then Seymour stock has risen ia the sporting world, and bets are now made at one bundred on Grant to eighty on Seymour. Many Seymour men among the betting trater- nity think that before election Seymour will have risen to par, so that then it will not be possible to get any but even bets.” — The Democrats are making a quiet but ex. ceedingly thorough cauvass in Pennsylvania. The Republicans are beginning to work in earnest, also, and claim that the northern tier of counties of Susquehanna, Bradford, Tioga, McKean, Potter, Warren, and others will give increased ablican majorities. Lycommg is counted for Grant in November. The Re- pablicans in Lancaster county will elect in October two members of Ss, one to fill the unexpired term of the Iate Thaddeus Ste- vens,an¢ a Representative tothe Forty-first Congres: — Hon Demas Barnes has aadressed his con- stituents in the 2d district of New York. de- clining to be a candidate for re-election to Congress — Mr. Gravely, who failed to get renomina. ted to Congress in Missouri by the Republicans, us “kicking up a muss” in his district, and threatens to defeat the Republican nomiare. eeley figures outa Republican victory in New Jersey.

Jones, elector for Grant, in the Fourth Congressional district of Alabama, declines to serve, and will take the stump for Seymour and Blair. —The Hon John Morrissey says that he certainly shall have the Democratic nomina- uon for Congress in the Fourth District. His pluck is good, and hitherto his luck has been good also. —The New York Hersid, which had held to Seymour for nearly a week argues that only two Ntates can be positively counted for Grant ie, Massachusetts and ne. It thinks it probable, however, that Grant will carry seven other States in the list—Rhode I mont, Kansas, Minnesota, low: and Wisconsin. The Heraid say shire is not by any means a certainty for Grant while Indiana apd Illinois, in the absence of slavery and the broad war issue, are Demo- cratic States, and will in all likelihood indi- catea well defived aang with Rd oe. tionary movementsagainst the part, ve acted Tenth for the last two Presidential elections. No man has any right to count ‘Weet Virginia for any party. It hasno re- corded predilection. [t has only voted in one Presidency, and then it decided forthe war, and for the simple resson that its right to de- cide at all, even its existence as a State, would at that time have been denied by the other party. Ohio is somewhat in the same position. as Indiana and Illinois. It was s Democratic State in the old days, but went with the Re. publicans on new issugs.” This is the Herald point of view for this Week. — In the course of Mr. Pendleton’s speech at the Democratic meeting at Bangor, — Te. marked that it was chiefly owing to the indom- nable firmness of & Maine Senator that the President was pot ed from office, and a Radical leader put in his place. At this pont vhe report says: “ oberts bree cheers for the Hon. William Pitt Fessen- cen, the Senator alluded to, and these wgre given with the greatest enthusiasm, the audi- ence rising.” — The Boston correspondent of the Chicago Tribune says the ition to Gen.

Irs BELIBYED by the Postmaster General that the law of Congress providing that all ‘mail matter relating to spurious lottery schemes and gitt-enterprise swirdles shall be forwarded to the dena-letter office, will do more toward the suppression of the business than any course heretofore suggested. He apprebends considerable difficulty, however, io ascertain. ing what matter to suppress, as the persons engaged in the business have already taken Precautions against detection by omitting from their envelopes all mention of their names or address; yet the circular that has been sent by the Postmaster General to his subordinates will do much toward preventing the Depart. ment from being used in aid of the nefarious business. Paciric RAILRoap.—The Union Pacific Railroad is now completed within ninety miles of Green river. It is reported that consider- able difficulty exists at Green River Uity be- tween the settlers and the agent of the Union Pacific Railroad, the former claiming the rignt to the land by occupancy. APPOINTED.—Clinton H. Emerson, phonog- rapher to the Secretary of the Interior, has been appointed to-day United States Inspec- tor of Tobacco, Snuffs and Segars for the Thira District of Virginia, with headquarters at Richmond. Secretary Browning, in ac- cepting the resignation of Mr. Emerson, wrote to him in very flattering terms appreciatory of the value of his services in that Department, and the esteem in which he was held there, Mr. Emerson will leave for Richmond on Monday to enter upon his duties. Suit WITHDRAWN.—We learn that the suit of Kimberly & Bros. of Baltimore, against General Butler has been withdrawn, they stat- ing that it was instituted by mistake by their Attorney, Mr. Addison. Attorney General Evarts has answered—negatively it is under- stood—the requestof the counsel for General Butler that he shonld appear for the defendant under the act of Congress. The withdrawal of the suit, however, ends the matter. COLLECTOR AT ALASKA.—Hiram Keteham, ir., of New York, has been appointed Collector of Alaska, Mr. Ketcham has been conspicuous in New York politics as President of the Young Men’s Democratic Association of that city and m other positions. He is of great wealth, shines conspicuously in the first circlesof New York society. and his friends are puzzled to guess what attracts him to the frozen regions of Alaska.

Sesummrnremsememmemee! a7 Mr. Oliver Dyers arucie un “The Maz. dalens of New York City,” in Packard's Monthly for September, is quite as startling as “The Wickedest Man in New York,” which made such a sensation in the July and August numbers of the same magazine, and has a much more practical beariag. According to him, there are six hundred and forty-seven known houses of prostitution in New York, and he explains some of the hellish devices by which they are provided with inmates, in addition to the supply which natural female immorality furnishes. In some cases the very parents of the girls themselves profit by their shame, and bring them up to a life of vice as they would to @ respectable occupation. A point specially ‘worthy of note is as follows ‘A large majority of these girls were once Sabbath school scholars, aud many of them are daughters of Christian parents. Numbers of them were formerly Sabbath school teachers and members of Christian churchers. The same painful tacts have been revealed by the labors of the Midnight Mission in London. Of tour hundred girls rescued from the streets and dens of vice in London by that Mission, nearly every one had been a Sabbath school scholar or teacher, and their aggregate at- tendance at Sabbath school amounted to one thousand two hundred and sixty-three years— an average of over three years to each girl.” A Savor¥ CHwken Pre. thoose three spring chickens, taking care that they are ten- der, and not too large: draw them, and season them with pounded hace, pepper ‘and salt, and put a large lump of butter into each of them.

Baptism to adults 1s not given on the ground of “no objections,” but on their “asking” of the Catholic Church for «taith,” to lead them to “life eternal,” and professing their desire to be baptized. In regard to another statement, to the effect that the Sisters of Charity took part with the Protestants, in the funeral rites, the Journal says: “This is another mistake. No well-instruct- ed Catholic ought to be scandalized at so stupid & mis-statement. No Catholic can jom in the _—— rites Gone Protest- ant or Pagan. tever apologies laymen ma: sometime share for bodily presence at a fanerch where there are un-Catholic religious per- formances on the ground that they in nowise Join in those exercises—it would bea grave mat- ter for any one wearing the external dress of a religious, to stand aud seem to participate in such. We Rave great confidence in the good instructions, and quickness of perception of the good Sisters of Charity, and we have no trust at all in the daily papers or their corres- Pondents. Therefore we take it that the whole story of Thad. Stevens’ baptism isa myth. It seems that the Catholic clergy did not claim his body for the rites of Catholic sepulture, as they would have done had he died in tae com- munion of the Church. We pea peace with the Sisters of Charity, Whose good name has been so cruelly abused in some of the daily papers. Frenc VELocirgpes.—The taste for loco- motion by velocipedes is making decidea pro- gress in France. The latest illustration of its development is the announcement of arrange- ments in Marseilles for a long jonrney with this new means of locomotion. The veloc pedes are to start from Marseilles for Genoa, by Corniche. From (ienoa they are to proceed to Turin and Susa, over Mont Uenis, and re- turn to Marseilles by the valley of the Rhone. In Paris velocipedes are all the rage, and they are constructed so as to combine great speed with economy of motive power. They are pro- pelled by gentlemen with less expenditure ot force than is used in walking. and travel faster than & horse can trot. The French velocit is a double hoop. It has two wheels, it true, but one ts directly mm the rear of the other, and both move over the road in the same rot. The wheels are about four or five feet in diameter, and are constructed in the lightest manner compatible With strength, as, indeed, is the whole appa- Tatus. Between the tiers of these wheels, and Testing on frames snpportea by the hub on both sides of each 1.is the seat in which the rider sit ordinary saddie, From a poke of the tront wheel. a few inches from the hub, there projects on each side a short pin, upon which te rider places his feet.as in & surrup, and it is by giving to these a circular motion with his feet, which of course also moves the tront wheel, that be propels the ve- locipede after he has ouce fairly started it. H hands are placed on a couple of handles im- Mediately mm front of him, and these being con- nected with the front wheel, which has also @ central pivot movement, gives bim the power to guide it, and thus steer the machine Where he will, CO-OPERATION IN SovTH Canourxa —The principle of co-operation is gaining ground.
