this city, The wages generally ere hgh--high-
err than they are in other places, and work plen-
~, leaving US no way 10 account for the scarcity.
In order that journeymen, in overstocked cities,
may see the excellent opportunity for employ
ment that ST. Louis affords, we will quote the
rate Of charges which are asked and given
Jou-neymen carpenters generally receive 81
per day, but first rate hand will command So
l25, while an inferior workman may readily OBJ
tain 81 20. JOurneymen bricklsyers receive
generally from 81 90 to SO per day. A first
rate press brick, or fine stock layer, will receive
from $4 to So. These we should consider
tempting rates. Besides, PERMASENeY of en-
ployment will be secured to all who will come
here to take it. In every quarter Of this city
large buildings and costly ones are being con-
siructed which assure work duriag the whole
building season for host more Of journeymen
than we now have Intel. ,.., m a
The Democrat asserts that the Intelligent
Ger "was never known to approve OF a sem
timent uttered by Col. Benton" Ii by
such a declaration the Democrat means it
TO be understood that we have declined to
era wi on our bellies at Col. Benton's feet,
and 10 lick the dust from his shoes-an a.
basement which seems TO be ielished by
two apparently opposed classes Of papers
| in Missouri-we own the impeachment.
The assertion is quite true. Col. Benton
has in Missouri two sorts of organs. The
one are Democratic and the other his Wing
organs. Through The pipes Of those organs
can be and almost daily are blown all that
windy applause for everything done or
said by him, which he can desre.--ISt
Louis ln,eligencer. ... ~.
4 Although the 81. Louis Inteligencer some.
time ago declared its purpose to make nc
future allusion TO the Evening .NewS, we
are quite willing to believe it has forgotten
its promise, and means, in the above para
grap phi, to class the NeuS among the "Whis
organs" of Col. Benton. Ever since WI
refused to be dragooned, at the late Munich
, Pal election, into the support Of a set o
Anti Benton Democrats for City Offices, i
has been the habit of small brains to ndulg
in like severity of criticism. They, poo
creatures, don't know any parties in Mis-
@ souri, but "Benton" and Anti-Benton"-
: and think to force us to be one or the 9th
;, er-while we, in fact, claim TO be MIR
I, and refuse to be either.
N But let that pass. IL is the idle wind I
: US. We can scalp and tomahawk all sue
le grannies in politics whenever we choos,
" But the mass of the people in the country
{. WHO do not know the true character Of tn
