Now Orleans Sunk!

This is the startling caption which en-
counters us in the news columns of many
Of our exchanges. Unjust not be taken IN
its literal sense, for the city has not sunk
but the waters have risen to surround and
partially TO su5merge it. 1t will be under>
stood that the waters of the Mississippi are
higher than the land on which portion Of
the city of New Orleans is situated, and are
confined to their bed by means of banks or
evees thrown up. The present overflow
is occasioned by the breaking away OF these
artificial banks. A number of breaks or
crevasses have occurred, through which the
water is rushing and flowing about the city.
A portion of il has been submerged, and at
the latest dates the water was rising rapidly
and threatening a vast amount Of damage, II
not the total destruction Of large portion
of the city.
Numbers of houses have been deserted
and the chief business of the city appeared
to be the removal of goods from the low TO
higher grounds. All attempts to close the
breaks and stop the flow of water, had been
without avail. Many had become discour-
aged at their wan, of success and abandoned
the work; added TO this the cholera had bro
ken out among the laborers, which had well
nigh paralyzed all effort. The appearance
of matters at latest dates was bad enough,
andNhe worst fears were entertained.

DRAYroN AND SEARs.-Wm. G.. Bryant,

ting TO that paper from Washington Civ.
under date of May 10Th SAYS:
The protracted trials of Messrs. Dravtcn
and Sears, upon charges Of stealing and ia
king away the seventy>six slaves who
so nearly effected their escape in the
schooner Pearl, in April, 1913, have been
concluded. The desperate attempt TO con-
wet them upon the indictments, some ifiy
odd IN number, signally failed. They failed
alter three trials, during which every expe-
dlcat which legal ingenuity could suggest
TO secure their conviction, had been rx.
hausted. Seeirg how utterly homeless was
the attempt. these indictments we're ADAMS
doncd by the prosecution. Yesterday the
prisoners were convicted of misdemcanor
IN having aided the scvcnty-six slaves in
their effort TO escape. Judge Crawford, to
whose Jealous corporations against the
prisoners with the District Attorney, read
lily bear testimony, promptly sentenced
DraytOn to pay fine of $l0 600, and Sears
to one IN the sum Of $1,000, both of them
to be imprisoned until the amount is paid.

THE NEW YORK RIOT.

IL We cannot recognize the correctness OF the
position OF those who contend that the authorities
of New York should have prohibited Macready's
performance and closed the theatre. The managers
Of the theatre had the customary sanction from the
authorities to keep Tie house open; they had hired
Macready TO do certain lawful work. Now what
authority had oue man or any set of men TO demand
that the house should be closed or that Macrcddy
should discontinue his lawful avocations Suppose
the mob had demanded that the aristocratc estab-
Iishment of John Stewart in Roadway, should be
closed and the pGoprietors quit their business !;
would it have been proper for the authorities to ac-
cede to such demand! The popular voice would
at once say no, and yet there is certainly not par
ticlc of difference between such demand and one
to close the Astor place theatre The managers OF
the theatre should hive kept the house open, and II
Macready possesses the nerve, he should have stood
by his engagement, and it was the business OF the
authorities TO protect the house and protect Mac
ready if it had taken a river OF blood to do IT, The
principle at stake was broad one; it was simply
whether men should be protected in lawful occu.
patton. or whether every man in his business, should
be subjected to TIE supervisory authority of any
mob that chose to rise against him. and the decision
Of the question affected not only New York, but the
whole Union and indeed we may say, the question
of rational freedom throughout the world We do
not think, ourselves, that the triumph of the au-
thorities was quite complete. II is true the mob
were driven from the ground and dispersed, but
then on the other hand the theatre was closed and
Macready was driven from the city, which was the
object the mob sought As we said before, the the
atre should have been kept open and Macready
should have gone.on with his engagement, and if it
had taken lake OF blood to do it, the principle
should have been vind;cated, that men should be
protected in their lawlnl pursuits

The TEN HOUR LAw.-The ten hour law
in Maine went into effect last Friday. The
law provides that ten hours shall be legal
days work, and no man shall be COM
PEELED to perform more except by spe-
cial contradiction this provision monthly
labor and agricultural employment are
excepted. No manufacturer or cor
poratioh is allowed TO employ a mi
nor under 3 more than ten hours day
under the penalty of fine not exceeding
500.
The law of necessity is much stronger than any
law OF any state of this Union. 1t is very good
idea to establish by law the length of time which
shall constitute legal days work; bu, any attempt
TO benefit the laborer BY the enactment Of ! ten
hour Jaw to regulate labor generally, will fail from
the greater power Of the law of necessity. The la
Dor market is overstocked-men are compelled 10
sell Their labor for what they can get, and if the

employer chooses to insist upon more than ten
hours perday, the necessities Of the laborer compel
him TO accede. The experiment of establishing a
ten hour system by law, has been tried and proved
failure, and the capital and labor of the country
are situated towards each other it cannot be 9TH
erwise When the laborers of the country are as
independent as the capitalists, they can treat with
them terms of equality, and secure their rights
but when the labor market is oyerstocked, the ne
cessities of the laborer puts him at the mercy o.
the capitalist. There is but one way to remedy
the evil, and the evil will continue until the RENE
dy is applied and that is, to restore TO every mar
his right TO the earth. When the labor market is
overstocked, men must have resource Free homes
will furnish this resource-with them the laboreT
will be independent, and the futile attempts 10 pro-
tect him by legislation, will be unnecessary.

~ Caleb Gushing was at Milwaukee
recently, on his way to permanent resi-

that he excited no special attention and was
permitted to come and go unnoticed and nn~
questioned. TayIor's newly appointed 60
vernon, Ramsay, was there at the same time
and had crowds of admirers. This shows
the advantage of being clothed with little
brief authority. Caleb is about twice the

1.-THE Legislature of Missouri passed certain
resolutions of instruction TO Col Benton, on the
subject of slavery. These resolutions correspond
with CaIhouns position aud that Of the ultra sous
therners generally Col. Benton does not feel dis
osed to obey them and appeals from the Legislature
to the people. He designs to address the people in
different parts of the state and if the people in their
elections then decide against him, he says he will
resign We suppose that in Missouri it is at least
doubtful whether the people will sustain Benton in
his position.
