WOAIAN;s RIGHTS.


There is great complaint in all the
large cities in relation to the starvation
prices" paid for work done by fenales
and especially for sewing on army cloth
ing. 1t would seem that contractors who
are making fortunes by selling sh9dJy
clothing to the Government, and thus
cheating the poor soldiers, ought to be
satisfied to pay the soldiers wives q rea
sonable compensation for making lie
clothing. There are causes for the sur
plns female labor VII ch is nov crowding
TOR employment. In the first place there
arc the wives and daughters Of thousands
Of soldiers who are now for the first tiino
in their lives thrown upon their own re-
sources mostly for their support, and seek
for employment in sewing, to exc out
the means of living. Ia the next place
the stoppage of the cotton mills has de-
pr.yed very largo number Of females of
their accustomed labor, and compelled
them to seek employment in sewing
And in the third place the introduction
OF sewing machines has brought tho
power OF labor saving machinery into di-
rect competition with this branch OF IL
Dor. at d time when from the causes first
mentioned there are unusual difficulties
in The way Of an ordinary and natural
adjustment of the supply Of labor in
this department of industry to the de
maal for it, Time will remedy the diff
ficulty; but in the meantime there must
be great suffering among those poor ,wo
men who are dependent upon their own
labor alone, and can find no othgr-em-
pioymeDt but sewing. Few, except the
parties INN ediately interested, have pro
badly been aware Of the extremely low
prices which sewing women are paid
Miss Anna Dickinson of Philadelphia,
has made q strong and eloquent. appeal
to the public sympathy in their behalf,
and made some astounding statements in
relation to the wages for which they are
compelled by necessity to work, She
says man can 90 from one branch Of
business to another. or carve out . new
way for himself, and if he succeeds the
world is ready to applaud; but there is
hardly any place where the unmarried
woman can 90. Every position which
she can fill there are hundreds Of appli
cants for. In New York. City forty thou
sand girls work fifteen hours day 10
earn from twelve TO thirty, cents. She
said she knew girls in her own city who
arc making army Shirts and drawers for
two cents apiece, and pants and coats at
from seven to twenty cents each. They
ares pail. thirts seven aiHl one,half cents
for making sack coats which would take
two days of ten hours eachto make. In
some cases girls have to work their eight
cen hours n day, eating as they worked,
and almost going without sleeping. -
A-otler reason Why the -1ifces arc
kept down is that tho wealthy will not
pay living price for the article.
We are glad to STE that the newspa-'
pers are giving utterance to the justcom-
plants OF the safierers troia this system
of starvation prices" 1t j an evil. fos
which a remedy must bo fou 4, and a

Mr.. McInd0e.

Ii will be seen by the card which we
publish to-day from the Congressional
committee Of The old district, that they
recommend Hon. Waller d. McNpoE,
for the unoxPifed term in the present Con
gress.
As Jar as there has been any expression
on the subject, Mr.. MclNDoE seems to be
the general choice of the Republicans Of
the District. with two or thee exceptions
only, the press Of tho district has declar
cd for him. In several counties the
people. both Republicans and Democra IS
have united in calling upon him to be n
candidate. The committee therefore. it
would seem. have full warrant for their
action.
We have known Mr. McTNpoE for the
past. ten years, and believe tha. he pos
sesses qualifications which viii render him

SENSIBLE To TIE LAST

A correspondent Of the Chicago Times
writing from Graat's army, relates the
following incident:
On Sunday last news came to the
chaplain Of tlie--fegiment that q
good Union solder was, given.up by his
Surgeon, considered. in n dying condition,
and desired spirityla' consolation. fhc
chaplain, rs ii duty bound, went to see
him, sat down by his cot, talked of
death and the resurrection, and finally
opened the Bible at random to read n
chapter for the dying mans consolation
The book opened at the account of Sam
psou's Staying so many PhiIistines with
the jawbone of an>ass. At the cor clu-
sion, the soldier asked what book he
read that from. The chaplin replied,
my dying friend, it is the word Of God.
The soldier requested him to read it again
and at its conclusion to see the book and
read the chapter himself. The chaplain
handed him the Bible, when he excaim-
ed, ooh, dear! my eyes are SO dim l
