Thecontractor of the section is Mr. Edward Friel. The men heretofore received one dol- Jar per day, and were required to work eleven hours. The contractors on the adjoining sections pay their men the game wages and require them to work culy ten hours aday. Friel’s employée asked for $112 per day, or that the number of working hours be reduced to ten. The contractor cischarged them all, about one hundred in umber. Next morning twenty five men resumed work under the old rates, when the contractor increased the wages to the sum demanded, but refused to re-employ any of the men who struck, with the exception of those who came back voluntarily.

STRIKE IN CINCINNATI. The journey men coopers of Cincinnati are at present ou trike. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Tavrspay, March 15—6 P. M. The report from the House Committee on Ways and Meane, presented by Mr. Sherman on Wednes. dayy would be unexceptionable if it were what Ur. Sherman represented it to be, and nothing more. The chairman, in presenting the report, stated that ‘bis object was to fund the outstanding twenty mil- dions of Treasury notes. To this there can be no reasonable objection; the government is now pay- ing six per cent for money which might be bor- rowed at five if the securities offered were dif- ferent in shape; and, moreover, s0 long as the public finances are exposed to be administered by Snanciers of the force of Mr. Cobb, the incon- venience of multiplied and constantly recurring negotiations fs obvious. So far, therefore, as Mr. Sherman seeks to replace the twenty millions of out- standing Treasury notes by a like amount of United Statesdiye per cents, to be awarded to the highest bidder at a fair concours, the sense of the public is ; 2 with him. But it is understood that the committee {ee do not stop here, but go on to recommend that, in | order to reise 2 revenue to meet the interest on the | above publie debt, the duties on iron and other ar- | ticles of general consumption should be raised. | If this be so, the report should and will probably | meet with opposition from all parts of the Honse ie We thought that we had seen the last of the corrupt oe schemes called protective tariff, by the aid of | which incapable and broken down manufacturers endeavor to repair the fruits of their want of en- ergy and ability by drafts upon the public purse. Surely there never was a time when such an event as the _ revival of the schemes of the protectionista was lesa. to} be expected than now. The New England spin’ ners, who assnred usa few years ago that they would be utterly rained unless they were protected, were let alone, paid attention to their business, and now are richer and more snccessfal than ever be- fore—competing triumphantly with the British spinners, not only in our markets, but in those of Asia and South America. The coal and iron inte- resis are healthy, and would be more so if the par- ties concerned in coal and irenenterprises had paid more attention to the practical details of their busi- nese, and Jess fo the doings of Congress. Abroad, the same practical evidences of the growth of free France is about adznittin lens and British manufact trade are vh coat, cotton, wool at 8 moderate rate of duty. England is sage: | cioualy effecting further reductions in her tariff | and increasing her income tax; and it fs at this moment that the committee over which Mr. Sber- | man presides proposes to the United States to | take a retrograde step, and once more to attempt | the folly of protecting iron in Pennsylvania. This, it must be presumed, is the republican bid for the vote of Penmsylvania next fall; but it is very doubtful whether the entire republican strength can be mustered to inflict such an outrage on the people at large. Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, are all deeply interested in cheapen- ing iron, and manufactures thereof; we shall see ( whether their representatives will—for the sake of arepublicen triumph in Pennsyl¥ania—impose a tax on the people of the entire West, and levy a tol, forthe benefit of Pennsylvanian -manafactn- rere, on every bar of railroad iron, every nail, axe, saw, plough, and other iron tool used by their con- stituents, in mechanics and husbandry. It will be curiousto note how New Engiand will vote: whether the representatives of Massachusetta and Connecti- cut—the great manufacturing States which have thriven so well under free trade—whether they will vote to levy toll on the materials of their indus. try for the benefit of Pennsylvanian miners and land owners. It will be interesting, too, to see how the New York delegation will vote—they, whose constituents live by the increase of traflic and commercial intercourse, and who are injured by every customs duty that is levied for support of the federal government. ‘The republican politicians at Washington may be illing to pay this price for the vote of Pennsyl- ia in October; how the scheme will strike their constituents is a different question. There isno change in money here to-day. On call it is pretty lively at 5; and there has been a fair business done in paper at rates mostly ranging from 6 to 7 per cent. For very choice paper under sixty days 5} per cent is the rate; second class paper is quoted 8 a 10 a 12, according to quali- ty, kc, The Vanderbilt steamer from Aspinwall only brought $152,000 in specie; at this time of year the semi-monthly shipments from California seldom exceed a million. The receipts from duties to-day were $138,000; total receipts, $164,591; dis- bursements, $168,594; balance in the Sub-Treasury this evening, $8,000,724. Exchange on Europe continues very dull. Messrs. A. Belmont & Co. reduced their rate on Paris to 5.163 this morning; very desirable bills can be bought at 5.173, and commercial bills at 5.20. For sterling the rate at the bankers is 1083 a 109, no business that we hear of having been transacted above 108}; there are good commercial bills in the market at 108} a 108}. The business doing, con- trary to general expectation, is quite light, and, of course, at present rates, no specie can be shipped against bills. The following are the last quotations of sight ex- change on New York at the cities mentioned, the quotations being in all cases for gold:-~ <6 8 3g premium. This has been gaits an active day in the stock market, and we have to note an advance in all de- scriptions, with the exception of Missouri sixes’ which, in consequence of the threatencd legislation at Jefferson City, underwent a farther decline, closing, after heavy sales, at 81] bid, against 314 yesterday. But Central was buoyant and active at an advance of 4 per cent—mainly on the strength of rumors from Albany that the Assembly Tolls bill would not pass. Several thousand shares changed hands, and the stock closed 74 bid, against 73} at the close yesterday. Reck Island and Galena ‘were both active at an advance; they were freely taken during the day at 65 and 60 respectively, and closed those prices bid, against 64§ an |i bid yesterday. Other Western shares were inactive; the Michigan Central party seem to have lost courage, and the buying of IUinois Central was checked—apparently, as we appre. hended, by orders from England to sell. Pacific Mail improved a fraction, closing 93}, against 933 yesterday. The demand for State stocks and favo, rite bonds is unabated.

The exchanges at the Bank Clearing House thiy morning were $27,860,374 45, and the balances were $1,506,685 63. To-day the City Comptroller paid off the revenne bonds of last year to the amount of $450,300. In- terest has been paid on these bonds to the amount of $22,491 70.
