on Friday being prior TO the next regular day, was
made and it prevailed.
In the IIouse, this morning, more business was
done than at any one sitting during the present ses-
zion. A very large number of bills were reported
from Committees, many Of which were reported COM
plete and ordered eDgrossed for third reading. The
next order of business-third reading of bils-was
also entered upon with spirit, and, before the hour Of
adjournment arrived some eighteen were read and
passed among them the bill TO amend the act re-
curing the Police Justices in the City OF New-iork

THE INDEPENDENT AND FREE TRADE

To the Editor Of The ~ T. Tribune
SIR: From its start / bayc been constant
subscriber to Tie N. y. Independent, and ia 10Y
admiration of its bold and mastery efforts to pro.
note all the great benevolent enterprises OF the
day, have been disposed TO overlook its frequent
fings at the doc.rre of Protection. Knowing
thattbe,ubject did not egitimately come within it's
programme, and more especially that its Editors,
being all clergymen, had Rad little or no expert
eDce In the matter Of which they professed so
learnedly to treat, regarded their argu nen.s as
fanciful and wholly unworthy Of notice. But
since they have at last thrown off the CLOAK, aud
defanily slept into the ring of Free traders, oc-
cupying the same ground with Shareholders, Nul-
lfers and that most Jesuitical and venal Of all
papers, The Journal Of Commerce, IL seems 90 me
high time that those who have had experience,
and who know whereof they affirm, should speak
out and expose the fallscies Of these clerical
dresmers in political economy, whose frss idea Of
the sube |. ems 10 have arisen from the inc0n-
verieDce of obtaining passports 10 foreign travel.
do not propose TO go into discussion OF the
principles Of Protection as opposed to Free trade
Il
which is perfectly at home on this subject
wish now simply 70 reply to one assertion Of The
Indet,ndent, which in substance ia as follows
"a Protective Tariff encourages the emigration
of foreign operatives, aud thus tends 70 dens-
L" tonalize the country" From an experience OF
twenty five years in manufacturing, l aver, and
am abundantly able TO prove, that this statement
is the exact opposite Of the truth. For example:
under the Tsrlf Of ~, erected q new cotton
mil, and az the business WISE good, was enabled,
by raging good prices, to I'll il almost exclusively
with Yankee operatives. In the weave room, al
the weayers were American girls-nany Of them
from the most respectable families in sbe town,
AID some Of them Of good standing in the church.
Such was the esprit du cOrps among them that 20
foreigner girl would be allowed in the room, and
much less any one Of doubtful character But
when the Fiee.srade Tariff Of 'iG came,
Was obliged to begin 10 cat down wage', and
we have been going down sn inclined plane
ever since. Not one Of the class Of girls
above referred - remains in the mill, aud
their places have been mostly supplied BY
Canadian. French and Irish. Such has been the
experience Of all the millers in this region; such
has been the experience Of Lowell. There, as
you know, formerly, farmers daughters, and
girls from most respectable families ia New
Hampshire composed a large proportion of the
operatives. Many Of them we're well educssed,
srd they published handsome Journal e'iiea
The LOreH Oftrng. How is it now Nearly
al of this class have disappeared, and with 'nem

BROOKLYN CITY EXPENSES.
The bill authorizing the authorities of Brooklyn to

FXCvATIONs IN SEwNORR.
Mr. SPENCER, from the Committee TO whom was
referred the petition of Messrs Mckesson aud Rob
bins asking the repeal essential modification of the
act reg arding excavations in the cities Of New York
and Brooklyn, passed January "a 1872 report ad'
versely. ana it was agreed -. The Committee say
that within few years the increased valuation of
real estate in the cities OF New.lork and Brooklyn
and the consru iiou of large aud costly buildings,
have required excavations 10 the extent OF twenty,
and even thirty feet in depth for easements and
CELLAR whereby the foundations OF surrounding build
ipgs, lees modern, endangered; nor can they be
efectuay secured without great expense, involving
frequently the temporary abandonment OF the prem
lees.
Previous 10 the passage of the act in question, Che
principles of the Common Law, applicable TO this
subject imposed exclusively upon the osuers of the
adjacent property the obg alton Of protecting il from
damsge and rendered them responsible for couse-
ouences growing out Of their neglect. This state Of
things the Committee characterize unjust and to
remedy which this bill was introduced and enacted as
law Instead of restricting the depth Of all excava-
tons TO ten feet il contempates and even authorizes
the exercise Of unlimited discretion, requiring ouly
that when that depth is exceeded, the obligation shall
be imposed upon the owner of sustaining st his own
expense the buildings he may thus Jeopardize. The
Committee contend that this provision bears upon its
face" Justice to al, injustice 10 none.'
