That the members of the Labor Conven- tion, just held in Philadelphia, acted wisely @ to adopt the proposition of , to form a political party based distinctively on the interests of workingmen and opposed to those of capitalists, admits, we think, of little doubt. Nothing but the extremest necessity, such as would justify a revolution, should induce the taking of such a step. In a country Like this, especially where all the avenues to wealth and honor stand open to every one alike, it ix ag tinwise ng it is wicked to attempt to foment dissen- sions and discord between employers and the employed. Their political interests are not agonistic, but identical, and whichever class secks to legislate against the other, by that very © njures itself. We trust that the day is far distant when the workingmen of the United States will need to band to- gether in political array in order to obtain the rights to which they are justly entitled, and we are quite sure that they will not un. dertake the task for any meaner object. ‘The assumption is constantly made in the discussion of questions connected with the subject of labor, and too often yiclded by the friends of the workingmen and even by the workingmen themselves, that they do in fact oceupy an inferior position in society, There is a widespread notion—the logacy of bygone ages of ignorance and mistake—that all labor is a curse, and that kind of labor most so of ll which deals with material substances. In spite of our democratic talk, nine-tenths of our people are fixed in the belief that to live in idleness and have somebody else do the neces#ary work of the world is better than to work one’s self. Every man, almost, is anxious to accumulate money enough to live on the income of it—which means that other people shall take and use the property that he will not and cannot use him. self, and pay him enough for his expenses and even bis luxuries, besides returning to him or to his children the property iteclf intact. Thisidea developed itself most fully in the Southern States in negro slavery. White men there were too proud and too lazy to handle a mechanic's tools or the imple: ments of husbandry, but left all that sort of thing to thelr bond slaves. Here at the North we had no slaves, but we had and still have a great deal too much of the slavish idea of work, This false assumption the workingmen must themselves aid in overthrowing by their own efforts, They must not admit, or allow any one to admit on their behalf, that they deserve sympathy or compassion, or are in any way objects of pity, because they earn their living by the sweat of their brows, The capitalist who employs them should in bo manner be dealt with or spoken of other: wise than as an equal, and neither envied nor hated because he does not himself put his hand to the tasks they are engaged in. That they do not associate with him and his fami- ly when their work is done, is no proof of focial, much less of political inequality. Every man has a right to choose his own com- pany, and it is proper for the mechanic to take it for granted that his em ployer keeps aloof from him as much from tense of inferiority or unwor thiness, as for the contrary reason. ‘The time is rapidly approaching when there will be no ground for even a suspicion contempt on either side on this account, and when the question will not be asked in so pure: cial circles whetlicr a man makes goods or tells them, or whether his work deals with bricks and wood and metal, or with pou and ink and paper; whether be comes from the workshop, the counting: room, the studio, the sick room, or the court hous But the advent of that time would be greatly retarded if workingmen were to array them selves in a hostile aititude to the rest of the body politic, and openly proclaim that they were a caste by themselves. Their true literate ax much asepossible the distinction between themselves and other men, and not make it Let them show the nobility of they down and course is to bre permanent foul which really possess by their in dustry, their virtue, and their patriotism, and ot trouble themselves with the they need fear that they may be trodden under foot be and Khe the unig runes of political candidates. ——— Taiversi s and Democracy.

England emerges but slowly from the medinval exclusivences and pride, from the antiliberal and anti humanitarian spirit which has been bequeathed to the modern universities by their monastical and conv | tual pre HAKESPEARE, the greut- est name in Englieh literature, owed nothing to English universities, and this probably accounts for his unflagging sympathy with humanity. ‘The German universities, which are #0 ne CORSOTB, THE corrupt and terrible use of the judicial office | Ifany one has a charge to make against Judge Barxann, let it be preferred in an orderly manner, in substance, with time, place, and circumstance, We have yet to the evidence to prove that anything can be said against him which cannot be met and refuted Thore is a atmail tempest about the Kew York Custom Hc It is said that first-rate Republicans issed to make place for un« Worthy persons of doubtful politics; men to Whom the Collector promises that they shall be retained in office are notified of their discharge before the sound of bis promise has died out of their ears; and generally the whole of the twenty thousand applicants to whom it has been impos- sible to give places are growling with dissatis- fiction.

What little German progress there is, is not due to the universities, but toa few say like Kant, Ficure, and Hort, and toa few poets and teachers of humanity like Lessing, Terpen, ScHinLer, and Jean Pav, and to the high priest of culture,Gortur. It istrae that the universities of Germany are per. forming at the present day a noble intellee tual work, and turning out armies of men who do efficient duty in science and learning and in the civil service of the Government. But the credit is due not to the pedantry, dogmatism, exclusiveness, narrowness, and monarchism which, after all, provail in the universities, but to altogether different influ ences that come in from the outside world. Extucation is needed for every one, from lowest to highest ; but to rely upon it, espe. cially in its higher degree, ns a sovereign remedy for all political, as well as ior moral and social evils, is to rely upon an utterly untrustworthy instrament. a Very Unpleasant Dic’ At the meeting of the American Associ: tion for the Advancement of Science, at Salem, Mass, on Friday Inst, the third day of the session, a discussion took place in. reference tothe Trickiaa apiratis, in which some very remarkable and interesting statements were made upon the subject by Professor AGAsstz, ‘They will nodoubt be very surprising to most persons. Professor J. Baker Epwanps first stated some facts concerning trichine, It is gen- erally known that they are minute worms, which find their way into the system by the means of diseased pork, eaten raw or insuffl- ciently cooked. The female trichina, once in the stomach, there propagates immense quan- tities of worms, which make their way into the muscles and feed upon them, thus usually causing death. Sometimes, however, the worms die, and they then assume a spiral form, and can be examined with a microscope, if powerful polarized light is used. If meat respects, Professor AGAssiz% followed Professor Ba- KER, He said that he “hoped the appetite of the community would not be disturbed by this selontific discussion, as such worms are present in all meats and even vegetables, and there is no danger if they be properly cooked.” Those remarks certainly surprise us. Last winter, we heard with much interest the able lectures upon the disease produced by trichinw which were delivered by Dr. Dat TON at the College of Physicians and Sur- goons. We afterward, at the request of the venerable Dr. Jonny Torrey, ot the United States Assay Office, inspected a dead speci- men of the trichina worm in his possession, which was in a plece of muscle cut from the arm of a German sailor who had lately died in this city. But, until now, we were un- aware that such worms as these were to be found in all meats, and even in vegetables as well, he words of a man so eminent in science as Professor AGAssiZ are worthy of our highest respect and attention, These re markable facts, stated by him at Salem, would indicate that many persons must be continually running great risk of contracting ad aso from eating meat, even gerous d other than pork, insufficiently cooked, Peo pleare not usually very careful about such matters, aud it is often the ease that the out | side of a piece of moat is thoroughly cooked | while the inside has not been heated up to | the boiling point of water, Should there be trichinwy within, they thus would not be Killed, Englishmen who are fond of * roast beef rare” probably arc particular danger The community would be benefited hy « longer and more detailed explanation ec corning the triehinalike animals to which Professor AGAss1Z referred, —— Mahignaut Attacks on Judge Barnard, The Nuc York Times, unable to find any | thing to eriticise in the ordors issued by | Judge Banxann, denounces the Judge on account of the place where the orders aro revived.

The truth is mighty, and it will not be hid. alt It is stated that the Government is about to build ten wooden vessels, which are to be so constructed ax to employ steam or snils equally well, One of the main objects doubtless is to save expense in the particular of fuel. In this matter we are following the practice of the Euro- pean powers, all of which have many vessels of this kind, that never use their engines except when encountering adverse winds or desiring great speed, - — - We have reecived a number of communi- cations in defence of Nova Scotia coal, setting forth both the immensity of the quantity of it to be had, and its excellent qualities as fuel. On the first of these points we can only repeat our statement, that the amount of coal mined in Nova Scotia at present is about 300,000 tons a year, and that before the present duty was imposed it never much exceeded 600,000 tons, And as to the second point, we have the fact that, with anthracite selling at $8. Nova Scotia coal sells for €7. cargo, and that almost exclusively to gas c panies, If the duty were taken off to-morrow, would allow a reduction of only €1.65 per ton, which would not be half enough to enable the Nova Scotia coal to compete with anthracit What we really need to obtain cheap fuel is a re- duction of the prize paid for mining and trans- porting our own American coal; but how to effect that object without depriving both labor and capital of its just reward, is a dilligult problem, per ton by the cargo, } per ton by the n- obs oe at The evil of our city cars has become in- famous at a distance, Even in the remote town of Providence, Rhode Island, this subject is dis- cussed with astonishment at our incapacity to have clean horse cars.

School Rented for Pri+ The military critics who have celebrated the fine appearance and brillinat evolutions of the cav- alry arm of the First Division, have been eminently charitable, They linve tatked of those things that have needed no comment, and have held their peace relative to such places as the Cavalry Riding Sehoot in Thirtecnth street, near Fifth avenue, The butld- ings, three in number, were leased from the owner, Mr. C.F. Dickell, for $0,000 per annum, and it was expressly agreed that they shonid be wed exett- sfvcly as a riding school, The fret was duly an- nounced to the cavalry brigade, ‘The regiments were grateful for the boon, but they soon learned tint the doors were virtually closed against them. ‘Tho stalls where the horses of the troops should be fattening on ots oF resting, are filled by steeds of ten on the avenues and the hacks attached to vans, baggies, an’ phactons, On some week days, the vehicles, awaiting the removal of the horses from these military stables are #0 numerous that they block up portions of the street, This embodies one of tie most lucrative arrangements on record, for thove in charge receive donble rent from two sources—the eity and private individuals—but the Jatier, unlike the former, receive some value for thelr money.

Orricen—They are chiefly van horses in the stalls, y'Fe all paid for, of course, nT EN—Didt you ever apply for admission ? et—Repeatediy, but in vain, Sometimes T would receive the answer that the General's sister, or one of his femule cousins, or some indy member of his family, were in the school, and soldiers conld not be admitted, The man at the door always fur- nished some excuse for excluding ts, Reronten—Were ludies in the school at the time ¥ Orricen—I suppose so, Ihave seen them go in, and gentlemen too; but if they take up the school, they pay for it no doubt, Whether th do or not, it is never ready for us, ‘The building ts a large ex: pense to the country, but under the present manage- ment it is worthless to the brigade, for the soldiers are not admitted. Reronten—Does Gen. Posty know of all this? Orr Why, certainly, T suppose the order you know, and he must be obeyed ‘They have even acted more Meany yet ut that vuild- ni. Keronten—How ? Orricen—When any member of the bricade pats his horee there for the night, they charge him the highest rates for the privilege, I know un officer of the brigade weo was compelled to pay $12 for letting his horse remain there a few days. Rerorten—The exclusion of terfere with their efficiency. Orricen—Axsurediy ; but that don't amount to much in the estimation of anybody who can make at Teast $6,000 from the brigade. he above facts +bow that a disgraceful fraud is being perpetrated on the country and the cavalry brigade, and it ehould be properly investigated. — THE FOURTH WARD MURDER, ement of One of the View tims.
