THE REPUBLICAN CoSvENTIoN.-There Is q
controversy in the republican party as to when
its Convention shall be held for the nomination
Of candidate for the next Presidency. The
Republican National Committee has designated
the 9th OF June as the day on which the Con
vention shall be held; but some members OF
that committee desire that il shall be held later,
and there is movement on foot to change the
day. il is supposed that those who are in favor
of tic Convention meeting in June, as desig-
mated. favor The nomination Of Lincoln;
while those who favor the postponement
are regarded as opposed to him, as the
movement for postponement is regarded as
movement to gain time for his defeat
All this controversy is fruitless, bootless and
ridiculous. II makes no difference when the
Convention meets or whether IL meets at all
Both this shoddy Convention Of those in favor
of Lincoln or another republican and the
shent shent Convention are bodies without
consttuents-bodies with whose organization
the people have nothing to do, and as to whose
actions the people are Indifferent. Congress is
the legitimate representative OF the American
people, entitled to speak for the people with
authority, and to be heard over all the clamor
Of the corrupt coteries Of contractors and
placeholders; and the members opposed to
the reelection, or even the denomination, Of
Lincoln should take such definite and unmis.
taxable action on this matter as will superseds

combine for the purpose Of protecting
themselves There are measures which il
could legitimaiciy pass for this object. and
which, though presSed upon Its attention, it
has not IS yet even noticed Why. for instance,
does it not at once give Ns law preventing
railways charging more than two cents ton
freight on coal, which they have it in contem-
plation to do as soon as the Legislature adjournss
That would be one Of the legitimate ways to
prevent trade strikes. Reduce the coat OF
living by judicious legislation, and workmea
will not be forced TO combine to defend their
interests. Our Albany Solons do not appear
to comprehend this, or. IL they do, they find it
to their interest to ignore It. We tell them en-
phatically that the people will not stand any
more class legislation. If it be the object Of
their mission merely to protect the interests of
and speculators, they will be
taught at the polls that their duties had
wider range. Some Of them may acquire
sooner an unpleasant consciousness of the fact,
if recent indications are to be taken as an evil
deuoe Of the feeling Of tAs working classes in
their regard.

The Abolition OF Slavery by the Anne nd.

meni OF the Constituafon.
The views which the HERALD has so strongly
urged for long time past with reg ard to the
constitutional abolition OF slavery. as neces-
sity Of the age, as we'll as safeguard against
the agitation stimulated by fanaticsm for cor
rupt or dangerous purposes, have been most
triumphantly endorsed by the vote in the
Senate yesterday on the report OF the Judica-
ry Committee. The joint resolution amending
the constitution so as virtually TO abolish slave
il the lower house should concur in two
thirds vote-passed the Senate by vote OF
thrty-eight to six-the two Senator's from Della
ware, Salisbury and Riddle; the two from Ken
lucky Powell and Davis; McDougall, of Cali
fornia and Hendricks, Of Indiana, alone voting
against it. II now remains to be seen whether the
House Of Representatives will ratify the pro-
gressive action Of the Senate. We have great
hopes that IL will. Then the Legislatures Of
the different States, oT State Conventions, as
Congress may decide, will be called upon to
pronounce as 10 the amendment Of the consti-
tuition. This they must do by vote Of three
fourths of their number in order to make the
action valid

The STRIKE QUEsTIoN.-The excitement Gre
ated amongst the working classes by the bill
now before the Legislature prohibiting trade
strikes Is assuming . very serious aspect If
the measure be persisted in there is no an
swering for the consequences. Workingmen
say that the Legislature has no right to inter-
fere with their trade arrangements: and no
more has it, SO long as they are confined within
proper limits. Why should operatives be made
exceptions to the privileges enjoyed by other
classes? The manufacturer strikes for higher
prices, so does the butcher, the baker the fish
monger, the greengrocer, the mlkman and the
storekeepers and boss employers Of every
kind. People grumble against them for doing
IL; but they do not rush 10 the Legisla ature
with their complaints or withdraw their Gus.
tom. They know that there are natural laws
which regulate these things, and that any at
tempt they may make to control them by arti-
fetal means will only render matters worse.
Legislation in regard to strikes, except so
far as II goes to prohibit violence, is just now
not only impolitic, but dangerous. At q time
when the necessaries Of life are being forced up
to prices which place them almost beyond the
reach Of the workingman the Legislatu il
asked TO pass law to prevent him exacting for
bis labor wages commensurate with the present
high rates Of living. The thing is so manifestly
unfair that II is not to be wondered at that II
has excited great deal Of bad feeling. If the
Legislature will interfere in such matters. let

FINDING BoFroM.-Ne are approaching
soundings ia The way Of taxation at q tolerably
fair rate Of speed, tut not fast enough. The
pace should be accelerated. so that we can
find bottom as soon as possible. The quicker
the better. The tax levy of the city of New
York for the next fiscal year amounts to fif-
teen millions Of dollars-three millions more
than last year; and committees Of rich men
and Knickerbocker wiseacres are going to Al
bany to have the tax reduced. This is sheer
nonsense. What is the use of lobbying on the
subjects Are not all our tax burdens and tre-
mendous public debt the offsprings Of the
moral, religious, political and financial false
trainings of past years. The bitter fruits Of bad
and corrupt legislation How are committees
to correct the evil? The State of New York,
it is authoritatvely stated, is now-including
city, county and town debts-one thousand
millions Of dollars in debt--two- thirds the ag-
gregate value Of all the property of the peo-
pie, which, according to the last valuation,
does not quite reach fifteen hundred millions.
try couple of millions or SO in the matter of
taxation? Instead of reducing the tax levy for
the city it should be increased from fifteen to
twenty millions Of dollars; and twenty-five
millions will not be too small sum for the
succeeding fiscal year. Let the State debt be
increased from a thousand millions to two
thousand millions, and let US have an entire
change in property holding in the State. Let
us get at the bottom as soon ss possible, and
begin again. Look at the present state of legis-
lation: workingmen appealing to their ser
wants in Albany to perform for them an act Of
plain justice. We shall probably next have
the So]ons in Albany proposing to sell the
workingmen in order to defray the expenses Of
freeing the niggers. We are living in wonder
full times. in very costly times, and the sooner
we get at the bottom the better. Pile on tax
alton.

THE TAxEs-THE SNEws OF WAR-It is
evident that the present Congress must take the
responsibility that was avoided by the last one
Of providing by taxation revenue that shall
be equal to the extraordinary expenses of the
government Our present taxes are totally in
adequate to meet those expenses, and in some
respects the Tax bill is failure Several of
the States, for instance, have made no return at
all from the income tax, and Others have made
very small one. Congress must 60 over this
whole matter earnestly, and must give us tax
bill that will yield three or four hundred million
dollars year, or the credit Of the country is
gone. II matters not what kind of bank bill
We have Our present bank system and the
greenbacks seem to be sufficient for the busi-
ness Of the country. But with the question Of
taxes Il is different. Congress has great and
all important duty to perform in the prepara-
tion Of new tax bill that II must face boldly
and 60 through with National bankruptcy
will otherwise be the result, and our finances
will fall into as lamentable . condition as the
finances Of the rebel States are in now.
