COOPER ON CURRENCY.

Mr.. PETER COOPER appears in our columns
this morning as the prcposer OF new plan for
the present mitigation and ultimate cure of the
suffering so widely experienced by the Laboring
Poor through the occasional failure Of Employ
ment The manifest benevolsnce of his purpose
and the philanthropy Of his character must
shield even hi, errors from trenchant criticism,
while the many valuable leadnss In his essay
.hould command universal attention. Mr.. Cooper
h very rich man has always acted in politics
with the party of negasi aud is esteemed rather
conservative in his instincts yet he holds;
I. That our City should adopt systematic mea-
sures for the employment Of those who can lind
no work for themselves.
Q. That, public provision being made for the
s...is-.v, street-begging should be entirely sup
pressed.
3. That exertons should be made to provide
the needy with land on which they can employ
and subsist themselves.
4. That Human Character Is created OF great
ly modified by circumstances of birth, country
and education.
There suggestions are by no means novel, but
they are none the less truthful and important
Whether Mr.. Cooper's idea Of having the City
bay certain marble quarry, and set the poor at
work getting out stons for piers, wharves, &c,
10 good one or not, we will not Judge. Our
6rst impression of it is unfavOrable; but Mr.. c.
t,s doubtless weighed its advantages and disad-
vantsges more carefully aud thoroughly than we
have; 90 we will think longer before speaking Of
it decisively.
But Mr.. Cooper appears also in the character
of a political economist, and asserts that the
fluctuations in the value of our Currency, caused
BY the use Of Paper Money, is one main cause Of
our present troubles. No doubt Mr.. Cooper
thinks 90. and that many think with him; but
numbers may be mistaken, and philanthropc
spirit 10 no shield from speculative error; and

secure constant and remuneratvs employment to

WAsHiseros, Wednesday -. y 1855.
Much excitement prevailed to-day in consequence

the Know.Nethings OF that State had acted none too
socn 1t likely tina, the bill is killed for his session.
The loss of the Nine Million Texas bill occasioned

Nothing new has transpred in regard to the veto or

A correspondent inquiries whether the remains
of :. Sam" deceased on Tuesday az Albany, are
to be disposed of by the regular Hindoo proce"
of Suffice, and in that case, how many Of his
lste partners in life are to attend the corpse on
the funeral pyre We suppose there is nobody
not even The Erpress, nor The Albany Register
of whom the Hindoo law can require such a
sacrifice There were great many individuals
claiming to bear bis name; but, without excep-
ton, we believe, the relation thus asserted was
really a temporary one, based on interest and
ambition solely; and, however loudly they may
howl over his sudden demise, they cannot legit-
imstely claim the honor in question.

FENALTPHoBIA IN A PRISrISG-OFTlcE.-On the
purchase Of The Detroit Inquirer by the proprietor Of
The Democrat for the purpose Of uniting both those
journals in one the editor left it to the discretion Of
his foreman to employ such persons be pleased from
among the compositors OF the latter office. Where.
upon, be was waited upon by deputaton from the
Office of The Inquirer, who informed him that unless
be discharged every person then at work in Tie DEM
oerat office, they would refuse to work. He was sub
sequenty waited on by Committee from the Printers
Union on the same errand. To both Of these deputa
tons he politely replied that while he should pay the
wages prescribed by the Union be should reserve to
himself the right to employ just such persons a. he
pleased whether sanctioned or opposed by the Union.
This declaration was followed by a strike on the
part OF the bands in The Inquer officer. The paper
didrt stop in consequence, the printers expected.
The editor says
The csuse of the dispute, so far as we can learn,
arises from the fact that when we came into posses
sion of TIE Dem0e, az office, We found number Of
yourg women there, whom the late proprietors had
en- poyed 20 work IN the Office setting type. We
never have been advocates Of the empo ment of girls
TO set type on daily paper, because the work is too
severe for them but these girls were there; some Of
them were Lot only supporting themselves, but also
their widowed mothers, and other members Of their
families who were not old enough TO support them.
selves. Il the middle Of winter and though their
employ ment was really Improbable to US, I've could
not and would no, turn them out from their work, and
situations in which they were then indusriousy doing
the best they could, and earning, a. least fair and
honest livelihood.
The employment Of women e. competitors was Ia
booed by the Union, but the employees in The Demo
Graf Office being more liberal in their views refused
to uphold such regulations. Hence the strike by the
Union ner Of The Iaquirsr Office.

THE HEALTH OFFICE.

The City of New-York appears to be quite fire.
quently regarded by our rural magnstes as placer
q UNBOUND ed richness, On which they may quar-
ter their poor relations without stint or enf.
Thus Gov. Seymour-who always received large
msiorities heIe-gave tie best City appointment
TO Delaware County friend, and it is ruuored
thst Gov. Clark is about to give the same place
to an Albany aspirsnt. Now We are ready to adj
NIT that our City did very badly for our new
Governor; but then Albany did very little better.
If such places are to be parceled out as "the
"spoils of victory, we insist that this best one
should be given to st. lawrence OF. Onondasa-
certainly not to Albany
But we humbly submit that this important post
ought to be accorded to resident Of this City or
one of its immediate precincts. The os;ensiole
object of having such officer is to guard against
CONTAGIOUS pestilences, which might otherwise be
imported in vessels arriving from the tropics or
other loo ,lities scourged with epidemics; aud 1T

ence in the treatment oihe diseases to be shut out
or whose range of professional experience has, at
least, brought him into frequent and familiar con-
tact with those who hare enjoyed such opportuni-
ties. To bring an ordinary country doctor here
to direct and superintend the gigantic machinery
which s kept in operation at heavy cost for the
sole purpose of shielding US from the perils Of
contsgion, is to intimate that the Quarantine
business is regarded in high quarters as 10 good
degree a humbug-an imposition.
We offer these suggestions with no thought Of
affecting the decision which is understood to have
been arrived at in the Executive chamber. :" What
is writ is writ and we shall all see it printed in
due time. But, whenever that time shah arrive,
We shall ask the Legislature to take up and pass
Mr.. j. F. RAYMoND's bill for the diminution,
removal and general reform Of our Quarantine
establishment That is measure which ought

travel much faster from and after the appoint
ment of another inland doctor to protect this
Emporium from imported coptagion.
