The Cincinnati Typographical Union and
the ConmerclaI


The Typographical Union have published q
circular, stating the cause Of the late strike OF
the printers in the Office of the Cincinnati
Commercial, and correcting that Journal S
statement of that affair, which they allege
was incorrect and injurious to them. The
issue, 1t seems, was raised on the selection OF
subs" or substitutes, for the regular printers
when they take time for rest or necessity.
The selection Of these, within certain limita-
tions of the foreman, is recognized as the
right of the printers, who, in the first place,
have the same interest in this that carpen-
ter or matchmaker would have in selecting
workmen who were to be entrusted with their
tools; and, in the second place, the regular
printers are expected to provide substitute
in their absence; but the "subs" are subject
to the approval of the foreman.
The authorities in the Commercial Office
placed on the "sub-list" certain printers
whom the trade had branded rs "rats" for
working under the regular prices, and in
sisted that they should be preferred as "subs"
by their printers. The epithet "rat" is
about the most offensive one that printers
can apply. 1t designates class of workmen
whom they regard as traitors to their fellows,
destroying the means of their own protection
and degrading the laborer to helpless submis-
sion to the terms of the employer Against
this imposition the printers struck, and this
question the Commercial described as
whether we or they should be the highest
authority in the arrangement of our affairs"
The printers, not having an organ at COM
mand by which their side of the question
could be stated, have issued this circular.
The merits of the question will be readily
seen by printers, and probably by all. Those
gentlemen, also, of dignity and position, once
typos, but now Presidents and Treasurers of
railroads-who, according to the Commercial,
performed that impressive ceremony of
marching solemnly into the Commercial COM
posing-room, laying off their coats, rolling
up their shirt-sleeves, and asking the fore
man for "take" will see the merits of the
cause which ELECTED so much praiseworthy
patriotism.
There are two prominent features in
the case: the first, the interference with
the customary right of the regular print
ers to select their "subs" from the whole
list. The other is that so offensive an
interference could only have been intended
as an attack upon the Typographical Union
itself; and this involves the question
of the right of laborers to make those COM
binations for the protection of wages which
in various forms are common for the purpose
of increasing theproits of capital. In regard
to that, the right of persons to combine to
regulate their wages is much better founded
than that of corporations to combine to in
crease their profits; but we recognize no
right in anybody to drive men from their
labor into a combination.

The Gazette refers to the election of New
York delegates to Chicago by State Conven-
ton as having been devised by Mr.. Stewards
friends to force a united delegation.
There was a tolerably good precedent for
it in the election of delegates in 1856, and it
will hardly do to call that an attempt to force
unanimity. The fact is that the first Repub-
lican delegates from New York were elected
by State Convention at the request of the
minority, in order to prevent united dele
CATION, and to give the Barnburner part of
the Republicans fair proportion, they being
in minority in all the districts, and such a
compromise being impracticable in single
districts. TheSame considerations have force

Messrs. William d. Baker b Co., General
Agents for Ohio and Michigan, are delivering
this work to subscribers, in parts, at fifty
cents each, to be completed in twenty-four
parts. The work comprises fourteen hundred
pages, making two large volumes, with de-
scriptions of nearly FIVE thousand species Of
animals, and is illustrated by fourteen hun
dred engravings, the greater part of them
actual portraits of animals, and includes
notices of the monsters of the ancient geo
logical periods, also illustrated. The popular
as well as the scientific names of animals
are given, and it is probably the most COM
plete popular history of the animal kingdom
in the world. Mr.. Goodrich has enlivened
his subject by a pleasing style, and by stores
of curious information and anecdote. Very
few works are published which afford so
much entertainment and instruction to fam
lilies as this, while it is complete work
tor the scientific naturalist.

The friends of humanity, no less than thu
lovers Of literature, will be panied to hear o
the death of the well-known English au.
thoress and excellent-hearted woman, Mrs
Jameson, which melancholy fact is simply
announced by the last steamer from Europe
The writings of Mrs. Jameson, in various
departments Of literature, have been familiar
for years to most cultivated readers in thi.
country, and though they are sufficiently
terse and genial, rigorous and eloquent, to ap-
peal to the intellect they contain an amount
ofgenuine sentiment and of large sympathy
with the good and true that must commend
them strongly to the heart.
The mere vanity, the ambition even, that
prompts most women-and men, too-to
write. had less share in this distinguished
woman's authorship, than her sincere desire
and earnest purpose to benefit as best she
might the circle Of her readers, by the ex-
preston Of what she held as truth.
While she possessed warm fancy and
delicate sensibility, keen perception and an
accurate knowledge Of human nature, with
a marked tendency to the IDEAL and pas
sionate love of the beautiful, as are in
stanced in her admirable, and, perhaps, best
known work, "The Loves of the Poets" she
had far more than an average share of genuine
good sense, and practical wisdom, enabling
her to see things as they are and as they
ought to be, and inducing her to tear away
from society the tinseled shams that sur
round its customs and its votaries.
Mrs. Jameson could separate-which few
women can--the good from the bad, and give
credit for one without failing to perceive the
other She was liberal to all her sex, and
doubtless did much to elevate her sisterhood
into the right-believing and right-feeling
that belonged to herself
Her earnest efforts have met with the sole
reward she sought-and this is the highest
NEED Of well directed effort--the advantage
and elevation of her kind. And if we regret
that one possessed of so many gifts and snch
generous aspirations has passed away, we
can not but think she filed high sphere
and firmly walked where women Of superior
genius have feared to stand.

an account of the trial at New Zealanc, of
Captain Straker, and Mr.. Charles Straker,
(brothers,) first officers Of the English ship
Sndresbrook, for the murder of an apprentice,
by a systematic course Of brutal treatment OF
the most horrible character. They beat him
every day, exposed him to every hardship,
and seemed to exercise their devilish inge-
nuity in designing new acts of cruelty, until
at last, in the very extreme of misery, he be-
came insane and died. The mate was sem
fenced to be hung, and the captain to be kept
in penal servitude for period of six years.
