SIX DAYS LATER FROM CUBA, &o., &o., &o. NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. EXTRA SESSION, Senate, * Aupayy, June 24, 1853, ‘THE TRN HOUR LABOR BILL, Mr. War (whig) moved to recommit this bill. A por- tion of the bill met his approbation; but he apprehended ‘that if we should pass the provision making ten hours a Iaborer’s day, it would have the practical effect to en- ‘Courage idleness. It would cause them to cherish tho ‘idea that if they could manage to loiter away ten hours, the letter of the law would be lived up to, and that wae mil that was needed. He ranked himself among the la- boring classes. He was one of them, and, if home today, should evjoy himself most in manual labor. But while all his sympathies were with that class, he could never g0 fer this bill. He had seen the effect of it a few years since. An idea somehow had got abroad at one time that such a bill was passed. A little while before a neighbor of his had had a garden fence constructed, which cost ‘him tea dollars, He (Mr, W.) was so unfortunate as not to have his commenced until after that idea had ited, and though he employed the ame man, exactly the same kind of a fence, his cost him ars. And that was just the way he ims, be if we passed that portion of this , Te encourage laziness among the people. He would oe leave cy ipod Pade to be settled by agree- ween the parties t _pertion of the bill related ta cudeen he was in favor of. i LEY (dem. jarded the bil good a snot at, all gre vith the getloan (ate.

Mr. Urnam (whig) was in favor of the bill. Its sole ob- Ject was to fix a legal length for a day’s work, That was all, a eens contract for more or less, as thi ut it necessary to have it determin: yy law how much # Gay’s work was, as to have it deter- mined how much a doilar is worth.

But he thon e amendment he pro was & pro and ged bis motion would prevail bedeosAgey) Mr. Van Scitoonnoven (whig) could not see that the xt 4 i Hu refees open to the oojection that amendment was to obviate. If it was, he should certainly be g for one to vote for a mocification of the language He nce ab hte wholly opposed to recommitment. Mr, Wricrt was opposed to any such modification, even if it should allow a man to agree to work onSunday. Ifa person raw fit to hire out to work on that day, and go tothe Devil for it, there was not one here who would say, “Why do you sof” And for ene, he would have a man free to doso if he wished. It was own at and if he worked, he should be peid for it—perhaps, in- deed, a little more, for running the risk! Mr. Van ScHoonnovEN could not at all sanction that idea, and if he bad the least idea that this bil tolerated the performance of labor on the Sabbath, except when it ‘was aun matter of Lecersity or charity, he would vote against it, most decidedly: and if it was liable to that construction, be trusted it would be amended. Mr. Waicut raid there was no doubt that we did, in certain Crs hao iped Sabbath labor 1a our statutes. He instanced tenders and mail agents, and it was of ‘them he spoke. Mr. Gas advocated the motion to recommit. In his e@pinion, the language would ceitainly be construed to Tegalize Sabbath work, and the principles of humanity demanded that we should not countenance it, either di- reetly or indirectly. Mr. Piart (whig) said this was an extra session, and, perhaps, it was anticipated that we should pass some extraordinary measures. This was one of them. It was wholly unneeded, and would operate for more evil than |. Moreover, he had understvod this bill was got up ‘a frolic one aftern on ia the Assembly, and passed ina frolic, and with no expectation that it would pass here. Mr. Cooiry hoped if this wana specimen of their “frolicing,” they would keep on “frolicing”’ uatil the ead of the session. They could not do better thaa to “‘frolic’’ if such humane measu 4 this was the result. ~ Mr. Van Schoonuoven :aidit was not a new bill. It had not originsted iv ‘frolic’ by any means. The people had been asking for it for years, and it was framed after much mature deliberation. Mr. Urnam -hoped the bill might be recommitted and amended, to rerove any doubt. Mr. Ons (dem,) moved a further amendment, providing that no person ehall cmploy a female to make a shirt for Jess than twenty-five cents, or a pair of pantaloons for Jess than fifty cents, under # penalty of $50, Mr, Bergman (whig) moved to lay it on the table.

It had been made general in its application. If the usages of any church would allow, it permitted them to take the whole management out of the hands of the society, and place it in the hands of one person.

He did not desire to take up the time of the House, but the people demand action upon the bill, and he hoped members would not postpone. Let it be ordered to a third resdiag, and be printed mean shile. Mr. Carr regarded it as imprudent and unwise to urge this measure upon the House. Mr Sessions, (whig,) cf Chatauque, thought the fea- tures of this bill were understood by the members. They had been discussed in hotels and offices until every one was acquainted with them, and urged forcibly acting upon them, ko as to secure the approbation of the people, who ¢o loudly and unanimously asked for the bill. Mr. Carr withdrew his motion, Mr. L, H. Sworn, (dem.) of Ulster, renewed the mo- tion, Mr. Bray, (whig) of Washington, was indignant that members would not allow the bill to come toa vote. He did not ask to have it passed, but he wanted the privilege of recording his vote in favor of it. He deprecated such cowardly action. He urged that the voice of woman, who was an inverested party, might be heard io the matter. By ekt!lful mancwurres—by fair means and foul means, members sought to avoid coming to a vote. But the Gay of reckoning would come. Tho people would take the matter into their own bands next fall.

Weightier conside- rationa were involved upon this question than mere par- ly to all day laborers. oO EY Coots cpponed all the amendments, and said it was ‘an upgeserous attempt thus to break down the dill and get it on the table. Ile hoped the bill would not be op ressed with the price of shirts and pantaloons, and an- Serelothes aauersity, He would go for relief to our sew ing women, as a separate measure, but protested against its dragged in here. ‘Mr. Weraut was of the same opinion. Mr, Ors deemed this a proper place to put this amend- mect in. It was but just and right to legislate for fe- male laborers as well as male laborers. Mr. Bracu bad introduced his emendmert to protect a class now wholly unprotected, and he trusted this Senate ‘would how themselves the true friend of the poor la- borers in the country, as well as all other day laborers. Mr. Cornet should vote for this amendment, allowin; it eminently right, just, and correct. It would exten the seme rights and privileges to all. ‘Mr. Van SCHOONHOVEN hoped the amendment would be jopted. a dg motion to amend was carried. by 16 to 5. Mr. Onis’ amendment being then the question, Mr. Pirxor (dem. ) supported the proporition, regarding Jt axone of the most valuable features that could be em- ‘bodied in the bill. He was, however, in favor of the bill ‘an it originally stood, but if it was to be improved, let this be adopted. Mr Ons’ amendwent was adopted. ‘The question then recurred upon the a motion to recomm) thus instructed to amend). fir DexbSrr (dem ) moved to lay it allon the table.

Mr. Wittiams then moved to amend by instructing the committee to report an entire substitute for tho section of the bill, providing simply that ‘ten hours labor shi in all cases, be construed aa a day’s labor, unless o wise agreed.’ Lost. ‘The original motion torecommit was then put and lost. Mr. Bennett thea moved to lay the bill on the table, 11 to 14, aT cestien was then on the final reading of the bill. Mr. Buacu moved to recommit to a select committes, ty ends, He referred to the lobby influences upon the other side of the question.

Mr. B alluded to “drunkeneas in high places,” and the tale cur graveyards could tell upon this question.

He would warrant, and if in the habit of betting, steke all his pay for the thirty eight days we were not here, that the people would sanction with a loud voice tha passoge of this act. Maine wes not alone upon the temperance question. Other States are followirg in her wake—and the law abiding. Jaw enforcing people of New York will sttend to it in this State. Only give us the law, and we will see to the objection that ‘it can’t be enforced.” Pass it, and there is moral purity and force enough to carry out its provisions snd free us from this foul curse. Mr. Foxsyim (dem.) of Albsny, hoped the motion to portpone would not prevail. ‘Though opposed to the bill for the 1easen that he thought it could not be carried out, he had no desire to dodge the vote. He proceeded to give his objections to the bill. Prominent among which was the impression that it could not be enforced. Mr. Kexxepy, (whig) of Cayuga, could not, in this care, silently give his vote. He must say to this House, that bis constituents desired and demanded the passage of thin bill, It was one in which they felt a deeper in terest than apy thint had before been prerented for our cousideration, He did not desire hasty sction, but let the Houre act directly and’ fearlessly upon it. The friends of the Maine law were vot alone women and children Members will find next fall that the electors of the Stats denire the passage of the bill. Mr. Crarr made some personal remarks, with reference tothe gentleman from Washing‘on, Mr. Beman, and re- peated his reasone for offering the motion. Mr. Bemaw rose to explain. Mr. Payne, (whig) ot Monroe, regretted that the mo- tion to postpone bad been made. He thought that it was due to the numerous petitioners for the bill, and due to ourselves, that we act fairly upon the bill’. He did not like to se6 so much levity and thoughtlossness upon so importent a mensure. with instructions 10 inert the word ‘‘ duy,”’ to make it general and not special in its application. ‘Mr. Warp moved to lay the whole subject on the table. ‘The whole day, itreemed, was to be cousumed, Lost by 12, . The Other amendments (once voted upon) were again renewed—that of Mr. Otis was voted down, and aftera confused and riscellaveous rambling discussion, the - other was lost. Mr. Bracn’s motion was finally lost. The bill was then read a third time and lost, by 13 to 9. ‘A motion to reconsider was laid on the table, BILLS PARIED, to Mutual Insurance companies.

Mr. Bancock, (whig,) to put himself in order, moved to recommit it, with instructions to strike out the enact- ing clause. Deeming the bill one of the most or that hae ever come un¢er his notice during his legislative career, he could net give a silent vote upon it, ani therefc should, fore. not offer any apology for the time h» should occupy.

He desired to cali the attention of the House tothe fact that a bribe had been received by gentle- man upon this floor, who had been engaged in the dis- cussion, (Mr. T. alluded to the fact that a beautiful bouquet bad been presented to Mr. Boman by e young Tady in the loby, after his fearless and eloquent tem: nce speech Pee Bean rioted that it was received, not as a bribe, but reward for past services. Aa BRITE withdrew hie motion to postpone. ‘Mr. Hever, (whig), of Livingeton, renewed it, and gave his reasons. ‘THE IMPRACHMENT OF STATE OFFICERS. Mr. Mansi, iGo ) of Tompkins, rose and said that a committee had been appointed to report to-day at twelve o'clock, relative to the impeachment of State officers. He sent up hi report, stating that sufficient time had not been allowed the committee for their report re- lative to the officers concerned, and that they had not feit themeelyes authorized to send for persons and pers. as P.

Mr. Hgxper resumed his consideration of the Tem rance bill. He objected to the provision for ref the bill to the people. Why did not the Senate take the bility themselves, He feared not to meet all such responsibilities. The law was an unmanly, shirk- ing, en » contemptible law. in this particular of sub minsion to people. As the bill came from the Senate he could not rapport it “fi ir. G8 thought this was a fair o tunity for the friends and enemies of sucha aaaee ts record their votes. If friends of the bill desired to delay, he would not seek to hasten the action of the House. He would have a direct vote upon the bill, not an indirect action for the purpose of having the bill printed. The gentleman from Erie (Mr. Clapp) alluded to the “hot haste’ in the action of the friends of . He thought there had been re- markably ‘hot haste’ in the matter. The bill had been reported and printed three months tince, Ample time bad been afforded for exam nation into the merits of the bill There had been no hot haste. The friends had waited patiently until now, nearly the close of the last session, before calling itup. He did not regard the bill as perfect. The bill does not impose lar; enough penalties. They ought to be such as to enabl the friends of temperance to carry cases up to the higher courts, to secure obedience to its provisions. But as a whole, he considered it infinitely better than none at all, It would answer for thecountry. The bill is to take effect next March. If, then, the next Legislature disapprove of the bill, they can correct or repeal it, even if we proceed in “hot haste,” there is do danger of its taking effect in “hot haste.” There will be time enough for the people to express their wishes with regard to it; and the: will do it. The provision for referring jo the poiyie is simply for the purpose of determining the will the people, It does not repeal or enforce it—only gives us instruction if you please, as to the wishes of the people.

Mr. Exrswormn, (whig) of Chatauque, was happy to find an agreement upon one pcint—we are all temperance men. Mr. P. T. Baraum has offered $1,000, for a man op- posed to temperance, to exhibit asa curiosity. But he cannot be found. No one was oppoeed to acting upon this question. All they wanted was time. A three months’ session had wot afforded them time suffli- cient toexamine the bill. This bill might be imper- fect; he thought it was, yet he believed it desirable on the whole. He liked many features in it well— the one of referring to the people he liked. If the people should vote against it, the next Legislature would doubtless repeal it. But if they gave, as he believed they would, a large majority in favor of it, the Legisla- ture could perfect the bill, and furnish just such ia one as wos wanted. Legal enactment fs all that will now affect anything upon this question, Moral suasion has been tried until it is no longer efficacious. It was ob jected that this law could not be enforced. He believed i would pot be perfectly enforced in the city of New Youk, perhaps not in thecountry. But there are laws prohib.ting other crimes; these are not objected to be- cause the crimes still exist. 1 Mr. SPRAGUE, (Gem.) of Otsego, followed in opposition to the bill. Mr. MILLER thought it was not necessary to entirely enforce the law, to make it desirable. If we could only destroy a small ‘portion of the trazie, it would do great good. "Its entire destruction would be the salvation of our country. If the knell of departed liberty is ever heard in our republig, it will be amid the revols of the grog-shops.

I never pledged myself to any delegation of rummies. Mr. St. Jomy resumed—This law conflicts with those of our general government. We receive a large amount of revenue from the impertation of liquors, and now we wish to mako the eale of those liquors a crime. Wo are appealed to on every band to mark the evils of intemper ance. The lawyer shows uy that it is a source of crimo— the physician, that itis a cause of disease—the clergy- man, that it causes not only the death of the body, but the soul also. He alluded also to the evils coming from the ignorance and sins of the heathen, and asked what agent we brought to bear upon those to redeem them from their sine? We use the law of love; but to redeem the degraded of our own Jand, we would use the harsh force of legal enactment. He would rather approach th intemperate with the Bible in one hand, and the pledge i the other. Mersre. Burnovens, Lirtissoun and Perers followed ia support of the bill. or D. B. Tayrer withdrew his motion to postpone indefinitely. It bad been offered to permit more time for copsicering the bill. He was opposed to the measures of the bill. fie eaid not a member had been rent from the city of New York who was known to be in favor of such ‘a bill as this, The city was opposed to its provisions, the uw Members urged this bill to purify the city of New York.

Mr. Howar, (dew.) of N. ¥., moved to recommit the pill, with speefic instructions to exclude the city and county of New York from the provisions of the bill. Mr. Braman replied to the remarks relative to the trade of New York in ardent spirits, He thought there were otber and more han af considerations than merely pecu- niary ones upon this question, New York don’t ask to be excluded. The members who ask it don’t represent the Christianity—the morality of New York. They repre sent the rum rowdyirm of the city. Tafs law would no tend to impoverish the city—it would be worth untoli sums to it. This law will prove a saving measure to th city sd State. Pass the Maine law, and it will say: mere then one stoner from death, and send joy to th> most distant fireside.
