Says the chie! tam to Kustau:—‘Smoke one of my cigars. It will give you patience to listen to me and report to your black court journal, When that comes back to Europe it will enlighten the blockheads here.” The ciief then commences to complain about the people and thetr delegates, who refuse to pay for the sup- ort of an army requisite to watch the Arabs and fellatahs. “We might apply,” he said, “to the Sultan of Hlanussa, who owns a large country; but my Toouaricks don’t like i prerte 9 that would be jumping from the fryingpin into thé fire” ‘The Count, or rather the oonarick chief, continues a lengthy conversation with Rustan, who now and then inter poses doubts as to bis people comprehending the Matter, “It may be,’ says the chief, ‘fer you and Timbuctoo are behind the times; you don’t yet know that the poorer the people the freer they are. Sparta was free as long a8 it had no coined money. We take the money from our people and thereby make tt free. All the money must go into one bag, all the men be put into uniform; that ts the way of modern progress and development.” Here tue chief becomes: nervous, shakes hands with Rustan, who on his way home fixes in his mind the details of the conversa- tion, which he writea to the black court journal, Tae article closes with 4 monologue of the cuicf of the Toouaricks, who says:—°l wonder what my people will say when they get hotd of these dis- closures !"?

It ia for the advantage of both hemispheres, we think, that each of the two should follow its own course untrammelied by the interfer- ence of tne other.

Then, Americans who live here, or in other parts of ‘urope, would often be glad to ask by telegraph alter relatives who bappen to be ill or to send news of their daughters’ marriages or of equally interest- ing incidents tn domestic life. But this kind of bust- nes3 bas been deliberately discouraged by the mana- gers of the English line. A Minister may send an important message to his agents, though even then the amount of his bill is lxely to startle his govern- ment, 43 we may see in the case of Mr. Seward. He sent a measage to the American representative in Kussta, for which between £4,000 and £5,000 was charged. ‘The government has not yet been able to make up its mind to pay for that costly despatch. Again, commercial men Who have American connec- tions are obliged to use the cable. If the tariff were much higher evon than it is, they would still have no choice but to pay the money and send their mes- sages. The firm which first learns the price of cot- ton, of iron, or of shares and bonds, bas an unmense advautage over competitors who are acting without this information, Such trafic, therefore, necessari- ly develops itself, But it is not large Cg to pay for the expenses of laying @ cable beneath the At- lantic.

A semi-official journal insists upon ali government affairs remaining absolutely in statu quo—that is, that the Count’s decision will be required in all important matters concerning both Prussia and the Confederation; that between him and the Cabinet a constant corresponcence will be carried on; that no appointments cau be made with- ‘out his consent, and that he will be posted-up as to everything by continuous despatcues to Varzin. ‘Another semi-ofMficial paper has it quite different, asserting that Bismarck’s state of health required repose by all means and relief from the care and re- sponsibility of government. Without this his col- leagues would constantly consult him, a3 was done Jaat year, on every important question, and thus he could not enjoy rest.

A recent appointment of ove of the noble scions of the Stolborgs, of whom six are sitting in the upper Prussian Chamber, to the post of Governor General of Silesia bas without doubt been mage with the Count’s concurrence, and does not bear out the sup- tion that he could sit still at Varzin, Indeed, ppoimtment 18 Such & blow to the national libe- that none would have dared to strike it Ivon Count; for Silesia is one of the old where the liberal spirit ts specially pre- t, and this Count Eberhard stoiberg is gene. as @ conservative of the purest dye, a ‘of government in his capacity as prest- Chamber, and a Junker pure sang. is au haanyel by the letter in ALD Of the 14th wit. describing wi the Count.” ‘the illustrated givos a picture headed “Sic Transit nonchala ne and sovereign = disregard = of the representatives !

If anybody deserves sympathy in reference to Atlantic cable schemes, it is the Temps, and it then turns out that all are bound for Varzin to see the Count and find out for what reason he had retired and the pemnoalay state of his health, ‘The bionde niece, who has never seen the statesman, puts a thousand EA age to one of the Germans a8 to his size, fleshiness, complexion, height, and so forth, At last they arrive at the village: tavern, where, nigut having set in, they flud toleranie ac- commodation. The landlord is instantly pumped by every one. He tells his story. Sometimes the Count is not seen for eight days asa time, then again he will sometimes start before daybreak and roam through the country for miles. ‘There is no regu- larity) about bim at ail,” said the land- lord, “and I’m the last man to know whe- ther he is sick or well. His own servants don’t know anything about it, If you send your cards up you are sure not tosee him. The coadhman spoke of the Count’s starting early in the mormog with his family to visit frienas and relatives at some distance.” Miss Arabella, the blonaine, appears ver: much disappointed; her uncle, the own correspond- ent, disgusted. At last they all agree to station themselves next morning in the garret of the tavern, whence the landlord tells them, they would have a fair view of the Count's departure, “Let us look at him wien he is not aware of it?’ said one of the German literati, “I should like to observe him in all his naturalness.” “Oh, yes, in all his natural. ness |"? sighed Miss Arabeila. “if I can only say I have been in Varain and have seen him,” remarked the Frencliman, ‘ill give a five account of it in my journal.” General satisfaction was expressed that they had not come a day later, as they then would have missed the Count altogether. In the morning all stood at their post of observa- tion. Sileuce reigned on the estate of Varzin and in the castle before them. At last there came aservant carrying the blue envelope denoting a telegraphic despatch. Now it’s all over with the drive, thought they. But no! the carriage is brought out, the famiy seated therein, the horses prancing, but nothin; seen of the Count. All grew tired. At last one o! the Germans bawled out, “Phere he is |" Everybody ran to his litle window. Miss Arabella exclaimed, “Just like a Torso in the Vatican!’ Indeed she was right, for it was all that was visible of the Count, who, in a short hunting jacket, with a belt round his waist, Was stretching well forward into the carriage and talking to the ladies, ‘They all looked close, bat could oniy see the Count’s gigantic limbs, who then jumped in and drove rapidly off The novel conciudes with a dispute between the pariies as to whether Bismarck was fair or dark, pale or ruddy, sick or weil, Miss Ara- belia, being left to decide a question about which ladies are the best judges, looked bashful, and, with downcast eyes, said, “fhe Count was healthy, very, very 1" The numerous demonstrations intended as an offset to the Ecumenical Council are increased by a grand Conference of the German Frotestants, ap- pointed to meet in this city on the 6th and 7th of October.

Under such circumstances it would hardly seem desirable jor Spain to prolong the contest. After the jatlure of the experiment tried by General Dulce it must be evident that the system of sending public functionaries from Madrid to batten on the colony will have to be given up. Something like progress towards an enlightened commercial policy will soon become a necessity for revolutionized Spain, and, upon the introduction of more liberal taritta, it will be difficult for the flour of Castlie Ww keep up a com- petition with that from New Orleans, or for the manufacturers of Catalonia to monopolize the mar- kets of the Antilles. If all that comes to paas, It is impossible to see of what earthly use Cuba can any longer be to Spain, uniess tt be to gratify national pride by the maintenance of a dominion which is disputed in the teeth of some 40,000 or 50,000 of Spain’s best troops. It seems but reasonable to think that considerations of this na- ture must have some weight with the men now guid- ing the destinies of the Spanish monarchy, and make them doubt whether Cuba does not cost them much more than it 1s worth, and whether its lows almost under any terms might not be counted clear gain, Already nearly all far sighted statesmen in Spain, with General Prim at their head, have ex- pressed their firm conviction that the separation of the colony from the mother country is only a quea- Spain and tion of time. A just feeling of pride prevents any step in that direction being taken so long as insur. rection trusts to arms for the success of its cause. But the pacification of the island §=6being and Spanish honor re- cerving the fullest satisfaction, 1t would seem natural that the dictates of wisdom should be listened to, Cuba is vatuavle property, Spain is hard-up for cash, and a purchaser is at hand.

At present there is scarcely work enough to employ one out of the two Englisu cables now in existence. Would it not be far better to charge ten shillings for cable messages, and multiply the customers a hundred- fold, than to let the wires lie comparatively idle? Remonstrances, however, having failed, we are very glad that the sharp goad of competition has been applied to the alrectora. The French proprie- tors may easily do the greater part of the business if they will come down to the public needs. On that accounts we may well wish the new line success. We may not hear so much about tts binding the Old World and the New together in perpetual friendship; for we bave found out that understandings are possible, even with a telegraph wire lying comfort- ably beneath the Atlantic. But the cable will be a distinct advautage to the world, and everybody but the shareholders in the ‘Anglo-American’ will be giadto hear that the dificuiies which surrounded the promoters have been successfully overcome. Oar Relations with China, {From the London Post, July 15.} To seeking to arrange more stable, satlsfactory relations with China there is one thing very much in our favor counterbalaacing the diiicuities alluded to. The people of that country, though con- servative and prejudiced, are vividly alive to ques- tions pertaining to pecuniary gain. This feeling might be safely relied on to insure the extension of our trade throughout the land were it not for the prejudices and scliish motives of the educated or governing class. At the ports where we have for many years carried on a@ brisk trade with the people, they show not the slightest objec- tion to deal with us in @ free and friendiy manner, but in the Interior of the country, where their minds have been poisoned against for- eigners, and where they have not tasted the pecunt- ary sweets of trading with the outer parbarlans, the case is very different. Here what we have to aim at 13 to establish proper regulations regarding tae transit of goods, and to prevent local oiiciais from committing extortion. At present the contributions levied on articles of commerce on their he up the country virtually preciade them from reaching the people, Who consequently are kept in ignorance of the be safits and advantages they might derive from intercourse with the foreigners. Their ideas of the outside world are chiefly derived trom what they have seen or heard of missionaries, who have in- verted the legitimate order of things, and have pre- ceded, inatead or following, in the track of trade, The patties, then, to be fought are, itis true, with the local oMcials, but certainly not by means of gun- boats. We must begin at the fountain head. The imperial yey must first be made to feel that the greatér the extension of trade the greater the profit to the imperial exchequer. Then it must be ied to see that there is a vast fleld for the develop. meat of this beneficial commerce among the swarm- ing multitudes in the interior of China, and that this development 1s completely barred by the working of the oficial machinery and the opposition of the in- terested literati and gentry, In tme the reform of this offete social aud Official system may possibly be effected, and when this ts done and the products of Europe can penetrate into the recesses of China, all other desiderata will follow. ‘the process no doubt will be slow—so slow that thia generation may witness but little of the effect; but it will, we trust, be sure, There is no use in tryiny to make the pyramid stand on its apex; it ts no use trying to force our trade or our religion upon any pcople at the point of the bayonet. Cuptdity, veil the idea as we like, ia the prime mover of the world. Demon- atrate the pecuniary advantages of intercourse and half the battle is won. in thé case of China we have now some four years betore the revision of the treaty. The poate Saperer will come of age about the same period. the meantime we have only to carry out the policy delineated with statesmanlike ability by Mr. Otway, and to hope thata just and an enlightened course of procedure will likewise prove a successful one. The Telegraph Bill. ‘The dill brought in by the Postmaster General for the transference of the telegraphs to the government was printed on Tuesday. The preamble recites that by the Telegraph act, 1868, the Postmaster General 1s empowered to purchase the whole or any part of any telegraph or other company authorized to trans mit piegerar messages in the United Kingdom, except the undertakings of the Atlantic Telegraph Company and the Anglo-American Telegraph Com- pany; that he is required to make one uniform cha for the transmission of messages throughout the United Kingdom; that a monopoly should be granted to the government an¢ that agreements should be enterel into with the several telegraphic companies for the attainment of these objecis. The bill gives power to the Postmaster General to have the exclusive privilege of transmitting telegrams within the United Kingdom, with the following ex- ceptions:—Messages in respect of which no charge is made transmitted by a telegraph maintained or used solely for private use, and messages sent by @ railway or canal company in conformity with the provisions of the Telegraph act, 1868. Any person transmitting any telegrams in contravention of the exclusive privilege of the Postmaster General will be liable to a penalty not exceeding five pounds.

Thave already shown you several times bow, for the good of the public, I am disposed to give up certain prerogatives which belong to me, The modi- fications which I have decided on proposing are the natural development of those which have succes- sively been made in the mstitutions of the eiptre; they must, however, leave intact the prerogatives which the people have more explicitly confided to my care, and wnich are the essential conditions of a power which protects order and society (hear, hear, cheers, and cries of “Vive !Empereur !"*) Done at the Palace of St. Cloud, this 11th day of July, 1869. NAPOLEON, Opinious of the French Press on the Political Situation. ‘The Paris Débats of the 13th says:— As wiil readily be comprehended, we reserve to ourselves @ more mature consideration of tins 1m- portant document, and that for the moment, on a first tapression, we can only judge It in a summary manner. We believe, however, that we correctly ex- press the apinlon which at preseat prevails in Paris in stating that the public has received the manifesto favorably; that it is considered to contain the ele- ments of very serious reforms; that without doubt a firm reliance is placed on the complete development of these changes in ail their legitimate consequences, but that, in the meantime, the gravity of the pacific evolution which is being accomplished is fully com- prehended; gratification is felt at the prompt and liberal response which has been made by the Em- peror to the wishes of the country; and, finally, the idea is entertained that tnere is no possibiity of undervaluing the importance of these concessions, and that there would be injustice ia not testifying some gratitude for them. The Paris Constivutionnel samo date: On the 8th of June last a seditious demonstration took place in the streets of Paris, The Emperor's reply to the disturbance was the letter addressed by nim'to Baron de Mackau. A montn after, the con- stitutional opposition, united to an imposing fraction of the majority, defined the wishes of the nation ina clear, precise and respectful declaration. The Em- peror’s reply to the Interpellation of the 118 1s con- veyed in the message presented to the Chamber. We have now made a great advance in the path of par- liamentary liberties, and it becomes us at once te congratulate and thank his Majesty for an act ot prudence, which is, at the same time, one of politi- cal abnegation. Undoubtedly, all our wishes are not realized, and the imperial messuge leaves a doubt impending over certain questions which we would desire, and which we hope to see, settled. But Napoieon Ill, as he himself says, has often shown how much he ts disposed to satisfy the public Interests. If the reforms an- nounced prove insuflicient we entertain a firm hope tuat the Emperor will complete them, The Empire stands firm against the menacea of the street, but always yields to the wise counsels of pub- lic opinion. The message 1s a document oi such im- portance that we ought not to content ourselves with merely a briefgriticism; we shall returo to the subject. ‘The Paris Siécle (also writing in ignorance of the prorogation of the Chombers):— What are these reforms? Are the 3,500,000 men who voted for the opposition expected to be grate- ful for them? Pshaw! They claimed democratic institutions, they required the emancipation of uni- versal sufll they believe that the election of mayors would be at once accorded to them; they imagined, good, simple tolk, that personal power ‘was about to disappear before their imposing mani- festation. Parliamentary reforms are granted, which we will not depreciate, for they have an in- contestabie utility, but which are absolutely insuf- ficient. AS an accessory this gift would be excel- lent; ag the main object it ts almost null. ‘The evening papers, writing with a full knowleage of the facts, are far more explicit in the expression of their opinions, We subjoin the gist of their re- marks. The Paris Temps of the 13th says:— In spite of the injudicious abdication of the “Left Centre,” and the still more to be deplored proroga- tion of the Corps Légisiatif, yesterday will rank as Memorable date in the political history of our coun- try. Personal rule hag unquestionably capitulated. We congratulate the Emperor in not having tried to get out of the difficulty by resorting to a plebiscite, ‘hich never proves anything, and which would have left him rather in a worse position than before. What made a strong impression on him was no doubt the fact of so many members, returned under offictal ure, turning agqinst the system. That imp! jon was so strong tl he decided on antici- pating the interpellation. All that we have no reason to complain of. Every government i free, at its own risks and peril, to choose its own tactics and its own time, But that which ts both mean and injudictouz 3 to have prorogued the Corps Légisiatif at the very time when his Majesty had made up hia mind to take the one forward 1 and make con- cessions to the Legisiature, in ord%r to keep up an appearance of initiating these reforms, and to de- ve the deputies of an opportunity of making Enown their opinion on changes that concern them. ‘That according to law the sanction of the Senate is necessary to Validate the new arrangements ts not doubtful, but what ts still less doubtful 18 that these arrangements directly concern the Corps Législatif, and that in the present state of things it is not proper that the Chamber should be disposed of with- out being asked. A loyal and previous understand. ing was all the more necessary that the imperiat programme contains contradictions and obscu- rities. The Emperor recognizes in the Chamber the capacity to govern, since he reserves to himself the faculty of demanding minis. ters. By an application of the same princl- ple he acknowledges it capable of governing itself, since he confers on it autonomy. A Chamber, such aaitappears the Emperor is desirous of re-estab- lishing, ought to be able to question the govern- ment when and how it thinks necessary; to address it when it thinks proper, absolutely in the same way as the Emperor addresses the Corps Legisiatif; and to regulate tor itself tts faculty of amendment, and even share with the Crown the initiative of laws. All this forms @ part of the be pee ngs of the Cham- ber, and is always understood so in free countries. Could there be any ter fiction than that of at- tributing to one mi he Kmperor, the faculty of concetving & Lal and of understanding the justice of yr of setzil he moment opportune for its intros tion?

The interests of Austria and her wish for the preservation of peace impose upon her com- plete abstinence from interference in the German Questions that still remain open. ‘The false interpretation of Austria's attitude in the Franco-Belgian difficulty will be removed by the authentic explanations given in a note trom Count Beust to the Austrian Envoy at Dresden. A despatch of Count Beust to Baron Werner, dated July 8, refutes the assertion that Ausiria had exer- cised a’ pressure on Belgtum at the desire of France, and says:— The Fronch government never communicated to us its negotiations wih Belgium. ‘The Belgian Minister at Berlin, Haron Nothomb, having expr & wish to ascertain the views of Austria’on the Belgian railway question, I the less hesitated to communicate my purely personal views to a Bel- gian statoaman, ar I considered that the interests of our policy Of peace would thus be furthered, Baron Beust adds that he communicated his despatch of the 1st of May, which was sent to Baron Nothomb, to the British government, because it then appeared to him in order and germane to the object of @ peaceful settlement not to conceal from that Dbl dg that, according to his conviction, the ritish Cabinet showed Itself less favorable to Bel- gium making the needful conceasions than was in accordance with tho common taterest, In Rome vhe government has simply had to up- hold on the basis of the constitution the inde- pence of the State legislation of tie monarchy. ut special negotiations with the Court of Rome were required.

BELGIUM. Tho Settlomont of tho Franco-Belgian Dis- pute. (From the London Telegraph, July 15.) On Tuesday, the 13th, the text of the Franco-Bel- glan Convention was made public through the French official journals. The reports that the gov- ernment of Belgium had granted every important concession of principle, in obedience to the remon- atrances of our Foreign Office, are dispelicd by the simple fact that no such concessions are grantod, The Bie contracting parties have agreed that the Great Eastern ot France and the Grand Luxembury of Belgium may conclude trafic conventions with each other upon certain terms, of which the follow- ing are the most noteworthy. The Eascern Railway may henceforward run through trains between Antwerp and Basle, the manageinent of these tratns, while upon Belgian territory, to be in the sole charge of Belgian railway servants. Ove or more accred ited agents of the company may be permlited to take op, their quarters at the Antwerp terminus, with the object of developing traitic over the French lines, Carriages of the Rastern may be attached to the Bel- gian trains, and reductions in the tariff may be made between stations in France and stations in Belgium, rovided that such reductions are not inconsistent with the tariff of the Ber gian line, Similar privileges are accorded to the Grand Luxciburg in France; and it ts further provided that no reduction ig to take piace in the rates between Switzerland and Holland, which might induce Swiss shippers to send their goods to Dutch ports rather than to those of Belgium. More- over, by @ separate convention, the Eastern of France is entitled to advance money to the Nether- lauds Company for the purpose of defraying the loss on the Li¢ge and Limburg branch; these advances not to exceed £72,000, and to be recovered with in- terest at four percent on the receipts of the branch iu question; the Belgian government having the right at any time to resume full possession of the branch now worked by the Netherlands line, on con- dition of assuming the Ila! Pe any portion of the advances still unpaid.

Comissarow, who in 1866 saved the life of the Em- peror by turning aside the arm of an assassin, has lar ged himsell in his hotel, at the age of thirty-five. Acre journeyman hatter, he owed to the chance which placed him in the path of the Ozar his eleva- tion, at one stroke to the highest pinnacle of fortune. His plebeian name was replaced by that of Kostrom- ski; the Emperor’s munificence gave him a landed estate. He was named Colonel of a regiment of the Guard, and the Emperor authorized the opening for him of a national subscription,, which produced nearly 2,000,000 francs. In spite of this abundance of honor and riches he has committed suicide. The abuse of spirituous liquors has been conaviered the cause of this lamentable end, POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE. The South and the Situation—A Leading Georgia Republican on Public Matters— President Grant—Postmaster General— Hornce Greeley. {From the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, July 23. In @ Conversation lately with @ republican of prominence and intelligence, we gleaned the follow- ing as to his opinions, which will imterest the reader:— THK PRESIDENT, His opinion of the President 18 that he 18 not in his nature @ fanatic; that his idea at the outset of his administration was that heads of departments should have complete control of appointments, After he was driven from his first Cabinet, he then determined to let the new one through their heads, direct matters, having _ their own policy, andthus the pepple of the North- ern States, in coming elections would vote, as it were, upon that policy, whatever it might be, and condemn or endorse it, ag the result will show. ‘This gentleman, therefore, considers the policy of negro appointments in the South more the policy of Secretaries. Boutwell, Creswell and others. than that of the President; further, that should the elections in Pennsylvania and Olio this coming fali result tn the defeat of the republican candidates, the Prest- dent would consider that ‘they had been woighed in the balance and found wanting,” and carrying out his originally expressed purpose of administer- ing the government according to the will of the peo- ple, he would have a new ‘eal as to a Cabinet, and a new policy, conforming thus to the will of the peo- ple. This gentieman hopes if the President does take this course that a large portion of the republi- can party and democrats will find in the President's position atthe tinea point upon which they can unite and uphold him, POSTMASTER GENERAT, ORESWELI. Mr. Cresweil was represented to him as having at one time, early in the war, been such a violent, ma lignant secessionist, In Maryland, as to have broken up all of his assoctations with Unionists of high standing, and now appoints negroes, not 40 much because he loves them especially, as to use the large negro vote taat may be cast in Maryland in the future for hig personal ends, RECONSTRUCTION, This gentieman further reports tt aa fortunate that, af the close of the last session of Congress, % number of republicans from Georgia a) rea in Washington to prevent the reconstruction of Geor- Mio. @The contrast between them and the party who Were working for that purpose was altogether to the advantage of the oppongnis of the measure. He thinks Butler’s bill would have passed the Honse but for the influence of the President exerted over hitriends, ‘The House was more conservative than the Senate—no power could have prevented it passing the Senate, iad it reached there. Tis general idea is tat the President wishes no more regonstruction for Georgia, if it can he avoided by | nothing being done by our people on which these persons can operate, He believes the President ts pleased at Lie result in Virgina, from ¢iroumatances within nls knowledge, THe NATH AND THK CARPRT-BAGGRES, | ‘The Seviate has among republicans ng men of firm.

Tn conversation with Horace Greeley this gentle- man asked Mr. G. to visit Georgia and see for hin. self how much ow gen were misrepresented by our enemies, Mr. G. replied, “No, I do not want to visit Georgia now. Let your people go ahead and make good crops and money this year, get upon your feet, have everything quiet, get rid of the mise- Table carpet-baggers aud niggers, and then I wish to come.’ ‘Two carpet-bag representatives of Ceorgiasheard this remark by Greeley. The Campaign in Tonnessce. Nr, Edmund Cooper has accepted the nomination for Senator from Bedford and Marshall. Berry Lyle, conservative republican candidate tor the House from Montgomery, replies to queries pro- pounded to him At leading citizens of that county. He says:—I shall not be content to wait for consti. tutional amendments, which will necessarily be stow, to work out the great reform, but will go for the promptest and most decisive measures.’ ‘The Republican Banner bas intelligence from the Senatorial district composed of Montgomery, Rob- ertgon and Stewart counties, to the effect that Colonel Stark, of Robertson, will be elected by a large majority, The Montior and News, both published at Mur- freesboro, support the claims of Dr. Mci*all, liberal republican candidate for the Senate from Rutherford and Willlamson counties. THE LABOR QUESTION. State of Trade—Condition of the Trade Soclo- tiesTheir Numerical Strengti—Rato of Wages at Present Received. The wade societies of New York and Brooklyn were never so powerful ag they are at the present time. Greater interest is manifested In trade or- ganizations than waa the case two years ago, and nearly every good workman, in every branch of in- dustry, is now a “society man.” There ts probably not a plasterer in the city—unless he be a ‘“yoas!’— that is not a member of the plasterer’s society, and it is this close union that has enabled thia body to dictate terms to employers. The number of successful strikes that have oc- curred this year has greatly augmented the strength of many unions. If a strike is successful it resulta in bringing more society men into the circle of “untonists;” if the reverse, the men that are op- posed to strikes—and there are a great many in every organization—frequently leave the society. The stories tola about “hundreds of workinen walking the streets in search of employment” have no foundation. No skilled mechanics are ‘walking the streets” for the purpose described, although there are a great many laborers, porters, clerks and others of this class out of work, THE DRY GOODS CLERKS. ‘The young gentiemen who serve behind the coun- ters in the fashionable dry goods stores are-perhaps the greatest sufferers at this time. The ladies who keep them buay are gone to Saratoga or some other place, and the consequence 1s that employers, in the absence of business, are cutting down expenses and the number of employés. Within two weeks Stewart has discharged over seventy clerks, and all the other large stores, with few exceptions, have reduced hands proportionately, This places the clerks ina very bad position, for they cannot now obtain em- ployment, and few can save money enough trom their scanty earnings to carry them over the dull season. BUILDING. The bricklayers, plasterers, carpenters and other trades engaged in building are tolerably busy, whem the season of the year is taken into consideration. A large number of residences are in course of con- struction between Forticth street and the Park, while the continual demolition of the smail houses on Broadway and the erection of magnificent stores in their places furnishes a vast amount of employ- ment. In West Broadway and Crosby street a num- ber of new houses are in course of erection. The old frame houses on both these thoroughfares are rapidly disappearing, and ere long. in place of ne- gro dens and bagnios, merchants’ offices and stores will appear, AS Inentioned above, all the mechan- ies and laborers engaged in building find plenty of work at established wages. The opening of Church, Chatham and Peart streets, and the demolition of the old Hospital furnish work for 400 men. THE IRON TRADE, The use of iron in the construction of honses has lent an additional tmpetus to this branch of in- dustry. Nearly all the large stores now 10 course of erection have iron fronts, and in every case the first story is of iron, Buildings like that of the Equitable Insurance Company have iron rafters, and in many cases the door jams and window frames are of iron. The result is that tron moulders are in great de- mand, and the wages of the men, that have been very low, are gradually coming up with the times, MARBLE AND BROWN STONE CUTTERS. ‘This class of mechanios is very busy and earning good wages, varying from five to seven dollars per day. The magnificent structures that our merchants and companies are now putting up, as is well known, are costly in the extreme, Handsome cornices, pillars with carved capitals, and rich balustrades are used, ping 8 far more work to the marble cutter and polisher than in days gone by, when to use white marble without any carving was considered an extravagant proceeding. Both marbie and browa stone cutters are now in great demand, SHIPBUILDING. There is no greater activity in the dockyarda in this vicinity to-day than two years ago. Tho policy ot the administration, and the strikes of employ¢s in the yards, have practically put an end to shipbuilding at this port. A few ferry- boats and schooners are all that can be seen upon the stocks. Werhaps Poillon’s yard at Greenpoint ts an exception, that gentleman having the contract to build thirty gunboats for the Spanish government. Very few repairs are done tn New York, unless they are of sucha character that the vessel cannot get away to any other port. Repairs toall the steamers of note are done upon ‘the other side,"’ where mate- rial and labor are cheap. OTHER TRADES, All the branches of the large family of tailors bave had their “strike” this year, and as a general thing improved their condition, ‘The cutters obtained au advance of four dollars per week, and the men en- gaged in making up garments ot the first class houses got an advance; only the manufacturers who take clowning away to make up were defeated. Fancy work--by which we mean the making of artificial flowers, ladies’ hair nets, paper boxes for candies, India rabber and horn jeweiry and toys — gives employment to thousands of boys and gis, men and women. This branch of trade is rapidly in- creasing in New York, and a great deal of the fancy articles now made equal in del eye execution the dainty productions of France and Germany, The waiters, recently defeated in their strike for higher wages, have all found employment. Cabinetmakers report trade good and the rate of wages improving. THE TRADE SOCIETIES. The number of trade societies in New York in- creases very ge indeed there are but few work- ers who are not bound together in an alliance ‘‘de- fensive,” if not offensive. The public, however, never knows of thelr existence unless a strike occurs. It is only the Jacge societies that receive particular attention from the press. The following 1s a list of the principal labor organizations in this city, With a statement of the numerical strength of each, and the rate of wages at present received by the members.
