We knew that Gew. Sheridan was not of our faith—we did not expeot him to show any aympathy with the Radicals of New Orleans—but wo know he was a soldier and a gontleman, and we expectod justics.

The Times owes it to the people to make some atonement for this forgery— if atonement can be possible. It not only printed the dispatch, but defended it. Whon we mentioned our suspicion, The Times said our doubt was ““absurd im- pertinence,” and that we wero disgusted with Sheri- dan's dispatch. “ What right,” asked this pitiful dis- patch-tinker, “has THE TRIBUNE to challenge or deny a dispatch, the liberal fidelity of which the distin- guished soldier to whom it was addressed has not called in question?” *‘Docs Tur Taisune alloge,” shouted this brazen dispatch-tinker, *“ that Gen. Grant is a party to forging or garbling? or to whom else is the charge intended to apply " Well, we have no objection to saying that we believe Gen. Grant was as indignant as Tue TRiBUNE at the forgery—that ho asked the Secretary of War to have the true dispatch publisbed—and that we mow apply the charge directly and plainly to the cditor of The Times, or a servant of the President of the United States, At their doors lies the shame of bLaving™ trided with the fame of a distinguished soldier for their own base uses. The dispatch was furnished by the President to The Times; for The Times is never weary of referring to its relations with that remarkable individual, and making statements ‘‘by authority.” Who did the tinkering?

The meeting, deliberations and conolusions of a Labor Congress representing rers in different sec- tions of our country marks an era in our Listory. Of conrse, the repre of the Labor of the country was very imperfi 3 not necessarily nufair, Probably, i ty, aad Village in the United States bad been present by delegates, the result would not lave been much different. We do not agree in all respects with the conclusions of the Congress; yet we hail their tenor as caleulated to im- prove the condition of Labor throughout the world. But thero will be evough to proclaim concurrence with the Congress and its conclusi ot ws briefly i ate the points whereon we think its resolves might have been improved 1. As to Prison Labor,we hold the C. 0 bas learned a trade, and is try- ully pursuing it to abor of a conviet, | It is hard on a man wh ing to support a family by ful the whioh is sold by the State to a contractor for forty or | Yet it does not seem to us prac- | s price to the full wages of bonest ause convicts are gencrally | » person would choose | 1 who bave little | ¥ To say that a convict, who goes to prison ignorant of any trade, shall not work unless paid the full wages of a skillful mechar is to say that he shall not work at all. Our pian would be, ther , to employ convicts on trades not pursued in our country outside of prisons. In a Bouthern State, we would erow and manufacture Silk; in the North, we Ulish aanufactures of artic mported. We sce no other way to schieve the o II. Asto the Public Lands, we agree in the main with the Congre t the grants of Lands hitherto | &e., have enuzed decidedly to of the rs. Laud of itself, in the | cen st wilderu®ss or prairie, is scarcely habit- able by civilized men; cheapand easy communication | with the seabonrd and the seats of manutacture is in- peasable, oz at least exceedingly desirable. There are millions of acres better worth 85 per acre with a rail- road running throngh them than fifty cents without it. That great abuses and improvidenee have attended the granting of lands for such purposes, we believe. The business has been generally overdone; but we think the settlement and use of the Public Lands have been hastened, and thesettlers aro thus benefited by land grants for railroads. Tho system nocds elorm, uot destruetion. 1L As to the Hours of Labor, the reform proposed by the Congress must encounter stienuous epposition; yet we believe it will ultimately be carried, and ought to be. W are daily making immense strides in ecou- omizing Labor, so that each average day's work pro- duces far more of the necessaries and comforts of life than it formerly did: why should fuot Labor reap a | part of the advantage of this in a diminution of the bours of daily toil? The Sewing-Machine wmakes garments far quicker than the needle ever did: why should not the seamstress find her cxhausting day's | work shortened ? It does seem to us that a limitation | of the Hours of Labor is expediont and proger—and quite as much needed Ly the professional or busi anics, be the ad a people, we (who work at all) work too d: “all work and wmo play” is the rule with | us, and we wear out sooner than we should. As a people, w too fast——we cat, drink and smoke * nations, and work accordingly; and | more than oth it were Letler that we live more frugally and work not 5o incessantly, Much effort and argument will be required to induce the change proposed by the Labor Congress; but it will come at last, aud we shall | then all wonder that it was not made before. The Congress neither said nor intimated that much must be paid for a short day's work as a long d we shall not hold it respofsible far that orror. Yet most of the Labor Reformers we hive met hold it, and that is the immediate obstacle to their success. If the laborers in almost any field wonld say to their employors, **We beligve it best that the day's work bo shortened: Loty us try the experiment of working eight hours per day, and pay us accordingly, till experience‘shall have de- tormined what is the actual reduction thereby efiected in the product of our work”~'wey believe the om- ployers would readily acc Put when the em- ployed say, ** Wo waut t6 work hut eight hours here- after, and to bo paid the $am» as though we worked ten,” the employers very na’arally decline. And, so long as the Eight-Hour rule, is advocated as a means of revolutionizing tho rela¥jons of Capital and Labor— of obtaining more pa %or less work—we @0 not #00 Low it can sucosed. If & shoomaker should 8o reduce bis bours of labor #4 to obtain more pay for making & psic of shoos, 7y would Liave (o pay worg for his hat a8 ona, 2ive to Wo. éte not bow, (la law i to Let, then, tho loborers - intont Lis Reform -~ take the bull squars by the ms, and say, “We ars willing: to -anept lowor wages, and to drink less rum, smoke (awer cigars, &¢., 80 that we may have more leisure for im- provement, and less weariness to provent our im- proving that leisare. Make our day's work eight hours, and pay us accordingly”—the reforg wonld be carried. And then, if those who differ with us are righ', e day's work being fixed, wages will gradu- ally creap up to the old standard, and oven above it, without an increase in the coat of living. We do not 500 how this can be; but that does not prove it im- possibla. IV. The Congress evinced more wisdom than is v nalin Congresses in its emphatic deprecation of Siiices; in urging Cobperation as the true remedy for many evils now affecting Labor; in reccommending the formation of Mechanics’ Institutes and Reading- Rooms; and in advising working men who find work scarce or remuneration scanty to hie to the Public Tands and become eettlers thercon. Of course, the indolent and shiftless will plead that they have not the means, though three-fourths of all the farms in our country were first settlod by men as needy as they are. So far, this Congress is bravely right. But it should have goune a step further, and urged our young, unmarried workingmen to practice greater fra- gality and thrift, so as to be able tosettle on the Pub- lic Lands (or elsewhere) whenever they choose. At present, our young mechanics squander in dissipation sums that will keep them poor ali their after-livos. Any single man with a good trade ought to save at least §500 by the time he is 25 years of age (which is as early as it is wise to marry); and with £500 50 saved and invested in United States securi- ties, he nover ndl talk of ‘‘tbe alarming encroach- ments of capital og the rights of the industrial classes,” or any bosh of that sort, for the rest of his life. Itis not capital—it is the grog-shop, the beer-saloon, the billiard-room, the cigar-store, the gambling-den, the sink of pollution, whence encroachment on *‘the rights of the industrial classes” is most to be apprebended, and that nceds to be “crushed.” If the Laboring Class in general, but especially the young men, could be kept out of these dens of iniquity and induced to save their earn- ings, they might very soon be independent of capital aud able, by cobperation, to employ and direct their own labor: dealing directly with eaoh other and pay- ing little or no tribute to any capital but their own. Axnd, until they can be made to see this truth, we fear that they will hold Congresses to little purpose; yet we trust they will continue to hold them, and that cach may prove as wise and reasonable as that beid last week. THE RISE OV PRUSSIA, If wo look back from the commanding position which Prussia has at present attained into its pist his- tory, we canuot but be struck with the unparalicled rapidity of its progross and the abundance of strength and vitality of its people, of which the rapid progress of the State bas been the natural result. It is no more than 160 years whea the Elector of Branden- burg, Frederio IIL, assmmed the title of King of Prussia, and thereby secured for his State a lasting position among the European Powers. The new king- dom had no more than one and a balf millions of in- habitants, thus being in point of population one of the wealeat, while in point of administration and financial prosperity it already was one of the strong- 0st, Buropean Blates Forty years later, Frederick the Great appeared up- on the stage of history, The population of Prusein at he time of his accession was two and a third millions. Notwithstanding theimmense disparity of resources, he boldly risked & war against Austria, one of the most powerful States of Europe, for the conquest of Silesia, and to the astonishment of the world carried his point, thus making 8o Prussia a lorger addition than she bad ever received at a time, and greatly elevating her in her rank among the Eatopean States. Prussia num- bered only about 4,000,000 ot inhabitants when Ans- tria succeeded in bringing about a coalition of Austria, Russia, France, Sweden and Saxony, which tested the strength of Prussia and her King in tho ordeal of the seven years war as hardly ever a State and a king have been tested. From the end of this war, in which Frederick remained unconquered, Prussia has always been recognized as a leading power of Europe. At the beginning of the present century, Prussia, like so many other States, lay conquered at the feet of the First Napoleon. The King, Frederic William 111, had to cede one half of his territory and to con- sent to the occupation of the otber balf by French troops. But some of the ablest statesmen the world has ever seen, in particular Stein, knew how to reor- | ganize the State and to prepare it for the war of liber- ation. In the great European war of 1813 to 1315, and in the defeat of Napoleon, Prus. sia took o leading part. The re-arrangement of | Eurape by the Congress of Vienna made Prossia more powerful than ever. From that time sho was counted with France, England, Russia and Austria one of the Great Powers of Europe. The Union movement which arose in Germany im- mediately aflter the Congress of Vienna made Prussia the natural rival of Austria. Austria had & popula- tion more than double that of Prussia, but in every other respect the advantage was with Prussia. The King of Prussis ruled over more Germans than the Emperor of Austria, and in point of administration: Prussia was largely ahead not enly of every State of Germany, but of almost every State of Europe. Prussia came to be everywhere looked upon as the chiel representative of the national spirit and the na. tional interests of Germany. Unfortunately, the Prussian Government did little ar nothing to foster the tendency toward national uniom, but rather joined the other Governments in repressing the popular de- mand for liberal reforms Nevertheless, it was soobvious shat of all the exiy: ing Cerman Governments, that of Prussia was bea able to completo the union of the German peopl™ that the first National Pacliament which assemby®t | in 1843 in Frankfort, in consequence of a suceessfal tion, eleated on the 27th of March 1349, by 200 nst 213 who declined voting, King Frederic A IV.

Sove- ral efforts which tho Prussian Governmeat mads on it part, to unite the German States without Austuis, falled, and finally, the polioy of Austria obtained over that of Prussia the complotest triumpl by the sestora- tion of the Federal Diot.

But he ouly declined this support, but rudely and insult. ingly declined it, and wos satisfied to trust solsly to the superior organization of the Prussian armng, to the ability of the Prussisn generals, to the efficloncy of the needlo gan, to the weakmess of Austria and the Federal Diet, and to the alliance with Italy. A speculation on what might have been achieved with the hearty support of the German Liberals is of no practical importance in view of the accomplished facts. Whatever shape the North German Confeder- ation may take on the start, every one is virtually, the whole territory included in new Confederation (whigh also embraces the o Saxony) has become as fully a Prussian dominion ay the Province of Brandenburg. Thus that Prussia, which counted only one-and-a-half millions of hflm: 1635, two-and-a-half millions on the accession of rick the Great, four millions during the seven yoars war, seven millions during the wars of the First Napoleon, is now a stateof about twenty-eight millions, Nor does this represent her whole strength. She can take the remaining eight millions of South Germans, and from eight to ton more millions of Austrian sub- jects as soon as she is either sure that no toreign inter- vention will take place, or that she will be able to defy it. It may be regarded as certain that the tendency toward completing the German union will henceforth constitute the most serious complication of European politics, a fruitful source of diplomatic scheming, ol artful combinations, and, perhaps, of formidable wars. ‘We shall, therefore, follow it in the future, as we have done in the past, with closo attention, and carefully review every new stage into which it may enter. by o NOT A BIT SCARED. I Therois groat deal of haman nature in this coun. | try, and in theso anomalous political times, with the | Raudall-Doolittle party still in the gristle, and mot even baptized, except by nick-naming scoffers and mockers. We must admit that the aforesaid natare now and then crops out after an unexpected and re- froshing fashion. The main idea which at present oceupies the mind of Mr. Johnson and his Postmaster General is, that to make a place-holder the humble and obsequious henchman of the White House and the Departments, merely a threat to cut off his victuals is necessary. They know what agouies of apprehensions will sway the conduct human being of ordinary appetite and Moreover, there is not at their such a variety of appliances for launcl bark of their political adventure, that they- afford to dispense with the scrow—a mechauical power which ought not to fail, and which is failing in spite of all precedent, most lamentably. Mr. Randalt writes to this or to that spirited Postmaster to coma aboard or submit to the loss of his place. The spirited Postmaster immediately develops into a full-blown patriot, lord of himself though not of lettcrs, and sa fur from fearing decollation, winks, asit were jocosely, at Mr. Raudall's uplifted ax. Such reckless conduct, it must be allowed, indulged in persistently, in the vory prosence of death, rather than elss pute Mr. Pandall and his weapon in a ridiculous position. When your object is to scare a8 may, and he domon- strates, by langhing in your face, that be is not & whit scared, it is not the easiest thing in the worldto maintaip your personal dignity. Epcislly if yoo Lave no greator stoek of it than a Cabiset officor may at present be supposed to possess. 'We once saw a militia captain upon the green and not gory muster- field put down in the same way. “If you do that,” said this commander, * sgain, I will place yow under arrest.” * Pay me for them shoes, Captain, that I made for you three yoars ago,” was the retort of the undismayed private, who was met put under arrest, at least while we remained among the speotators. Tt is said that threatened men live long; aad per- haps some of Mr, Randail's predestinate vietims may save themselves by the nonchalant impudence of their defiance. At any rate, they will have tho deli- cious satisfaction of freeing their minds, gas Mr. Tower, U. 8, Marshal of Michigan (Western Dlstriot), has just done. We have already printed Mr. Tower’s epistlo to Mr. Randall. The pith of it is simply that Mr. Tower does not like the **cross between treason and loyalty,” and is also sufficiently in funds: to feed himself without resorting to the humble pie of the Administration. All'of which may be very com- fortable to Mr. Tower; but how does Mr. Randall feel about it ? The worst, forths President and his squad, of all this is, that when they have exhausted the bread-and- butter argument, the efficacy of which s fast growing 0 dubions, they are at the tail-end of their résources. When a man refuses to be converted to the reformed faith through his belly, it is unfortanate if his mpaip- ulators have nothing to offer to his brains. Those who drive the machine in Washington have forgotten, in the hurry of their speculation, that the Republieaa party throughout-the land is maioly made up of hoa- estmen.
