From the New Iork World
Drafting was tried for two dsys In the city of
Boston when the courage of the authorities
failed them and it was stopped, although some
fifteen hundred men were yet to raise to com
plete the quota. To save appearances the com
mon council voted bounty of $500 which it
was expected would be as sfsctual ss a draft.
and would not create so much excitement.
In Philadelphia also, the draft has been post
poned although in the rest of the State it was
proceeded with and the quota of the rural dis
trct filed up. This ioes not look well, especially
for Boston, and should operate as a warning to
New York. We have yet tins snoug to fill up
our quota, aud a determined effort should be
made to do go. An enforcement of the draft in
this city will undoubtedly create much ill-feel-
ing which it would be desirable to avoid Our
conscript law, or rather the absence Of properly
dgesied one, makes the enforcement Of the draft
needlessly cruel. In one place in Pennsylvania
three brothers were drawn in one case, and in
another the hasband of woman who had
already her two sons in the army. In Hartford
a son, the only support of widowed mother,
whose other son had been killed in battle, was
drawn. Cases like these could never occur in
Germany, France or Russia, where the conscript
laws are made as humane and as little onerous
as possible. When Congress re-assembles in
December It ought TO Immediately amend our
drafting laws, so as to prevent actual Injustice
being done under their operation.

WoEkingnsen's Strike fer Higher Wages
Hft.nsHaagemeat of ths rasioaal Ft-
nanees.
From the Nsw York Herald October 81
We see that the era Of workingmen's strikes
has just dawned, adding a new source Of trouble
| to those under which ths community has been
suf5riug for some time past The lougshore-
men had shiks yesterday, demanding thas
their wages be increased from twelve shiilings
to fourteen shilliDgs per day, and the usual plan
of preventing others from working st the old
price has been resOrted to. The leather workers
in the swamp have also made similar move,
fixing certain rate Of prices, under which they
say they will work. The reason altered *
the large increase in the prices of sIl the neces-
saries Of life. We have no doubs that within 8
week or two most, if not all Of the other trades
will follow in the same course and If their de-
msnds be not complied with much suffering and
trouble are likely to result.
This state Of things arises directly from the
mismanagsment Of our national finances By the
Secretary Of the Treasury. Owing 20 his ign0r-
anee OF the science Of finance, and to the Un-
wise policy which he has adopted, the national
credit has fallen from twenty TO thirty-ive per
cent. The prices Of all commodities have
adapted themselves 10 this depreciation Of the
currency, 50 that one has really 20 pay hum
dred dollars in currency DOT for what, sUma
months since, could be had at seVenty-fVs dol
lars or less and as the rates of wages have not
kept paco with TIE depreciation OF tie currency,
and have not, in fact been raised at al on sc-
count Of il, the families Of working men and an
others fad themselves Oaa-third poorer than
they were some time since. The strikes which
have commenced are the necessary and logical
result of this condition of things. II tbs See
rotary Of The Treasury had been fitted for hix
high and responsible position, We would not
have been subjected to this trouble and diff

Vice-PresIdent Stephens, Plan 20 Break
the Blockade.

NAEf=E re8fdeHG HEephemH3 H-lmm
the Blockade.
Yice-President Stephens is stated TO have re-
marked in a recent speech that a navy, sufi-
GENTLY strong to open cur ports to the commerce
Of the world, might be bought with the sum
which we are spending in one month IF enc war.
II Is thought to be quite possible that ten OF
twelve swift and strong irOH-clsd war steamers,
built in English dockysrds, could at any time
entar any port Of the Confedera.s States, and
bring 10 rs such articles as We stand ia need Of,
taking back return cargoes of cotton.
Mr.. Stephens proposes to execute the plan
through the agency Of cotton. he thinks that
English capitalists are ksauly alive 30 the rszli-
cation Of present profits. They are eager to fur
nish Us all cur Necessary supplies Of arms,
clothing, salt, etc, 10 exchange for our cotton
quite as eager as We are to exchange 0ur cotton
or anything else for these supplies. The diff
Guilty lies in the delivery Of our cotton The
blockade is the barrier between them and u.s.
Our policy, as Mr.. Stephens thinks, is and has
been from the beginning, to break it uD our
selves. To do this, We must have ships ef war
iron-clad stsAmers-abis TO cope with any in ths
world
Mr.. Stephens suggests that these caa be pro
cured in Europe with our cotton, but not with
our present currency. He proposes that our
government buy the cotton, SO as 20 have con-
troll Of It, and then pledge 1t to pay for the ships
that are TO be used in opening a. least one OF our
cotton ports, snd, if necessary, in conveying
the cotton from us to Europe snd our supplies
from Europe TO Us. The Inauguration ct this
policy By our government and lts distinct de-
clsration to foreign capitalists would be thinks,
ct once inspire confidence on their part. They
would accept a pledge Of our cotton. because
they would see that We were pr0Tilng the
means to secure its delivery. There might be
occasional captures of our cargoes by the enemy,
bat there would be a commercial certainty that
we could succeed iu delivering C t.0n In EdrOpe.
far more than enOugh to meet all our necessary
contracts there. Our currency, also, according
10 Mr. Stephens views, would acquire a new
value, because it would serve the purpose of
buying cotton IN Europe Our obligations, then.
would be convertible into cotton, which is mss
now more desired there than the precious metals,
and Wsuld be preferred 20 the rival gold Of cur
snsmy. Our cotton would thus be a commsr-
cial instrument to supply our wants from Eu-
rope, sad financial Instrument 90 serve ss the
basis Of our currency -HissssipDiaa
