THE STAB AND THE TOPOGRAPHIC.
CAL SOCIETY

The proceedings Of a meeting If journey
men printers, held on Saturday night last,
reported in to-day's Star make it incumbent
on rs to explain why We decline to pay
the same price for eight hours work, that up
to this time we have paid for ten.
We have, therefore, to say that the public
troubles have 30 affected the business of all
Printing osbces and Newspapers, ours includ-
ed, as to warn US against asserting to any new
arrangement that may eventuate in increas-
ing the cost.of carrying on the STAR.
Up to this time, We have cheerfully paid
the journeymen printers Of the Star Office the
highest prices paid in the world, except in San
Francisco and New Orleans forty per centum
higher than the prices charged by the mem.
bers Of the typographical Society in Balti-
more. We have made ne motion whatever to
the end Of reducing the compensation Of the
Star ofice printers, being determined to con-
tinue to pay them a. much when, as at pre-
cent, the advertising of all newspapers has
decreased, perhaps forty per centum, as while
the business was good here and else where.
This Is the chief reason why We declined &C.
eeeding to the proposed change of hours.
IL 10 alleged in q resolution passed at the
meeting alluded to above, that the printers
employed in the Star Office proposed here after
10 get out the paper in eight hours per diem
Or, in other words, to do as much work in
eight hours, as before in ten; and that in
the past week they have done 50.
That, IL true, land having paid no attention
to the hours they worked, we are not prepared
to gsinsay ip proves that while they were
regularly paid for ten hours work per diem,
they simply accomplished as much as they
could accomplish rs we'll i'm eight hours.
1t is true that such proposition was made
tous. We hesitsted to accept IL, because we
lad no reason to anticipate that in week or
month hence the arrangement might not be
broken up By IN order to that effect from the
typographical Society; the proposition having
been accompanied BY q stipulation, that when
ever the Star ofice journeymen printers
choose to break 1t, they could do 50 on giving
notice e

OUR MILITARY BUDGET.
NAVY YARD.

The steamer f.. b. Hale arrived at the yard
night before last. For a week or two past she
has been stationed at Stump Neck to watch the
Confederate steamer Page, but the opening Of the
new rebel battery at Cockpit Point forced her to
m owe from that exposed station, and she now lies
at Deep Point when Gu the lookout. Her officers
are anxious 10 engage the Page, as they have a
staunch little steamer and fine battery aboard.
The Dawn ran the blockade Saturday night
week, the He.zel on last Tuesday night, and six
sehooners on Thursday night last, all bound
down. Since then none bpt small vessels have
passed either way, up or down. All the schoOn-
ers which have left Washington or Georgetown
have passed through safely, and none are now at
Indian Head.
The Confederate are rgain actively at work on
Freestoae Point, and 1t is supposed construct
ing a strong wax for a battery there
The Mastery Mate Of the Hale Is Henry F.
Cleverly, who four years ago belonged to the
biig Marine, and for his humane and successful
efforts In saving the lives Of the unfortunates cast
sdrift upon the ocean by the laundering Of the
STEAMER Central America in 1857, was presented
