CONCLUSION NEXT WEEK.

Elizur Wright, of Boston. recently an
editor, and vigorous. pointed writer,
had much to say in his paper OF soap
and children, the healthfu.ness of wo-
men and water cure. He had eleven
children then, and boasted tina, all were
healthy aud happy, without the help oi
any physician. And that their parents
took much joy in caring for their. wei
fare. They came in pairs or triplets,
once in about l l months; the mother not
being confined over "a hours, as she
took cold bath every morning and used
Rabbits soap. 1t is a '.happy family
without doubt. But since Wright lefl
the editorial chair, some three years
since. we have heard nothing of this
growing brood. The Boston papers,
however, make an announcement tha,
Mrs. Wright "has again blessed her
husband this time with twins, a boy and
girl" The aggregate Of his children is
now eighteen.

TIE SIoo GRANT RATIFIED by MExIco.-We
learn by telegraph from New Orleans, that the
contract entered into by the government of cx-
President Ccvallos with the Sloo Company,
respecting the read across the Isthmus of Te-
huantepec, was confirmed and ratified on the
Sth instant. by the present government Of Gen.
Lombardini 1t is now in the possession of
Major Iturbide. en- route for Washington. This
is a matter of some Importance for the grantees,
as it was by no means improbable that Gen.
Lombardini would disclam the act of his pre-
dccessor, particularly as the company had
already paid into the hands Of the government
according to the Unirersa-two hundred
thousand dollars Of the sum agreed to in the
contract Now Santa Anna takes the matter
in hand.

The Dissolution of the Public School Society.
Tie statement published yesterday, that the new
school bill had passed both branches Of the Legsla
ture and bccomea law, was probably incorrect. We
presume however that it will be passed at the extra
session. the bill assened to by the Trustees Of
the Public School Society and the Board Of Educa-
ton. 1t is understood that the latter have driven
the Society to course which effects their dis
solution, after their long, faithful and dsinterested
management Of the public schools under their
charge. The ward schools, having taken the lead,
under the law which has been several years in OK
istence, it il WELL perhaps that the common schools
of the city should be all merged in one system,
is proposed in the bill now before the Legislature
The Public School Society has under its charge
at present eighteen large schools for white children
two schools for coored children, one normal school
for girls, fftyfye primary schools for whites, and
three of the same for colored children. The ward
schools are thrty.two in number, besides primary
schools and are under the superintendent of the
Trustees Of Common Schools in the several wards in
which the schools are located.
The following are the locations of the eighteen
public schools under the charge of the Public School

AN INTERESTING LETTER-THE REPLY WANT
ED.-The Tribune Of yesterday contains the
following letter, which of course was furnished
by Mr.. Barnum. Will Mr.. Barnum favor the
public with his reply to Mr.. Camp?
New YORK, Saturday, April 2, 1863
P. T. BARNUM, Esq.:-A year ago the enclosed
Address was delivered by me at Tripler Hall, and
then was in good health and weighed 200 pounds.

ENocH E. CAMP.
We are not in possession of the original letter
which Mr.. Camp wrote, but the above is not.
we believe, an exact copy, or at least portion
is suppressed. Mr.. Camp, after stating his dis
tressed situation, asked Mr.. Barnum for some
relief Mr.. Barnum wrote him a model letter,
in which he stated that as he Camp had always
spent his money with rum sellers he ought to
apply to them and not to him (Barnum) for aid.
Mr.. Camp also addressed letter to the Har-
pers. In that letter he alluded to fact which
they had forgotten, viz.:--that he was roller
boy in their establishment at one period of his
life. Mr.. Harper kindly sent him the money
he required. viii the Tribune furnish the
public with all the letters Camps letter to
the Harpers, and the reply of the Harpers-and
Barnum's model reply to poor Camps applica-
ton? Give us all the facts.

istence IL not inexpedient, or incompatible with
the convenience Of the community. Their mis-
sion IL of the most delicate nature. They hold
in trust the rights Of each individual member,
and must exert their collective influence to as
sert and maintain them. But they must not
forget, that in dealing with employers they as
sumo frightful responsibility if they abandon
the persuasive for the dictatorial tone. How
ever just, fair and reasonable their demands may
be, the chances of their being granted are wo-
fully diminished if they are presented as COM
mand instead of a suggestion. No man Of spirit
will submit to dictation; and where it is at
tempted, the only issue from the difficulty is one
which involves vast sacrifice of dignity and
interest on the part of him who assumes to die
tate.
II the Unions carefully avoid this STUN
bling block they cannot but succeed in OBJ
tanning fair wages for their members When
we use the words flair wages" we I'M
dcrstand them as meaning at least rather
more than twice what it costs to support an
able-bodied man. Political economists allow
family of four children to each operative, and
estimate the cost of their support as equal to
that of the father. If, therefore, the wfes labor
suffces for her maintenance, the earnings Of the
husband must be sufficient to support himself
and four children, and to leave a tride for "a
rainy day." or labor cannot continue to exist
on healthy footing. This, be it understood,
applies to the lowest trades-those which re-
quire the least mechanical skill. Where the
mechanic has spent many years Of his life in
acquiring knowledge Of an intricate trade. it
is right that his emoluments should be larger
The mere labor of man ought to be equal in
well-regulated community, to the fair support
Of himself and four children; skilled labor
should fetch considerably higher price, and
place within the reach Of its possessor more Of
the bodily and intellectual comforts Of life.
We cannot too strongly press upon the notice
of the rich the paramount necessity Of preserv-
ing this proportion between labor and wages.
Merchants and professional men are certainly
indispensable to the commonwealth; but me-
chanics and laborers are not less SO. The bone
and sinew of this country are not the gentle
men, but the operatives. Let us beware how.
through error or prejudice, we drive them from
our midst and find their places occupied by
emigrant paupers.
