MeE@isG OF PRINTERs.-Thc printers
of Saa Francisco held large meeting at
the Olympic Theatre Oct. 23d, and issued
an address and resolutions denouncing the
44ha California Tor its recent importation
Of "rais" from New York to displace hon.
est and able printers previously employed
in sheir office The printers of San Fran
cisco fogmed as long ago as 1880 pro-
.cc',ve Union, to establish a scale OF pri-
ces, and rules III reference to employment
of printers. These prices and rules have
been varied with the necessities of the
times, and designed as much for the pro-
lection of proprietors as Of journeymen.
The conductors of the -4la have distin-
ouis1sed themselves several times by their
efforts to break down this society, and to
organize loose system by which they
might control labor and prices. We well
remember their first attempt IN conjunc-
tion with the Courier, and other less noted
papers, in 1850, when we, with several
other printers, left oar situation on a
morning paper of San Francisco, and
came to the mines, rather than keep that
situation by bartering honor and the well
fare Of the craft. The struggle at that
day was more severe than it has ever been
since, but the society yindicated itself
through the unwavering fidelity of the
great body Of printers in that city, and the
hands who choose to do SO returned to
their situations at the society qrices. Bat
the society showed its moderation by re-
duclag rates twenty-five per cent. after a
period 99si elapsed in which prices OF liv-
Jag were somewhat reduced. The 4La
claaas it is now paying full rates, but there
- no proof of this, while the fact that the
men it has imported and denounced in New
\ Yofk as ''rats" is evidence of It's future
purpose, if not its present practice.
We wish the society full success in It's
movement, and we doubt not an intelligent
public will sustain it, 1t is embarked in
the protection of the holy rights Of labor,
and for one we do not believe with the Aha
that the laborer has no right 10 set price

Putnam's Monthly for September is fail
of interest. Severel able art;cles give
it the character of review. One upon
'schurch architecture" Of New York con-
yeys some well merited satire upon the
fabrics called churches in that city, with
their great pretence, yet ugly, unmeanlng
towers, starring and useless windows, &c.
1t is theme we'll touched on, and may do
good, for neney enough is spent in New
York in unsightly denominations called or
namental churches, to civilizc hemis-
phere. Putnam contains severe review
of President Pierces course, in which
many wholesome things are said, and
which Tor the sake of the country it would
do well for the democratic party to reflect
on. The hackneyed topic of Salem
Witchcraft comes in for touch under the
head of curosites of Puritan literature,
and variety Of entertaining matter fills
out the Volume.

bolts rambling history of Napoleon to the
battle of Wagram 1t also concludes the
