~ There is little difficulty existing
between the employers and employed in
Leavenworth at present. The " boss"
carpenters held . meeting. and mutually
pledged themselves to pay only Q certain
price to their employees. This eombi-
nation Of wealth against free labor is an
outrage. Combinations Of employers and
employees are Numerically opposed to
the spirit Of free institutions. The Bul-
letin justly remarks:
The result of the meeting Of carpenters
in our opinion is all wrong. They have
fixed an ultimstum Of wages to which
they intend to bring all the carpenters in
the city. They have no more right to say
what they will pay than the mechanic
who depends upon bis labor for his sup.
port. There must always be two con-
tracting parties. and under our liberal
laws this principle will always be strictly
adhered to.
The very idea that psrsons of wealth
and power shall say to the poor man. you
shall receive just SO much for your labor.
'avors of system of slavery that every
man must abhor.
No man. be he ever so powerful and
should say to the lsborer. you
shall receive just so much for your SER
vices. The Southern planter dictated to
his slave the terms OF his servitude. The
people became degenerate and the country
assumed q nom madic condition.
In making . contract. both parties
'hould be consulted. So iu the present
instance the journey men carpenters should
Dc allowed to say what they will receive
If their I" bosses" for their labor.

In the Cour: of Common Pleas the case
of the Right Reverend Bishop OF Ft.
Wayne against Dr. Dotti. former Pastor
of the Catholic Church of this place has
occupied nearly all the time of the Court.
The Bishop, the Vicar General and two
Priests were among the witnesses. The
dispute grew out of the suspension of DR..
Bo,ti from the exercise Of Prie>tly Func-
tons, On account ola letter written By
him in which he seemed to threaten the
Bishop that he would die the death of "A
dog ifhe did not deal more Justly with his
Priests. Upon lis suspension the Priest
shut up the Church and refused 10 give
possession until an amount of money ex-
pended by him for the Church and Schooi
House should be refunded Whereupon
the Bishop sued him, and he sued the Bish-
op The result OF both suits was the Bish-
op got possession of the Church, and the
Priest got iudgm for l.5e0 where
upon the Bishop sued the Priest for reut
during the time he kept the Church shut
up. and this is the suit which has occu-
ped this term of the Court. DR.. Botti
brought in claim for salary, &c, and again
on his cross complaint obtained a judg-
ment for Sl00. We wonder if this will be

For months past certain class of con

duce the soldiers absent from this county
on dury, to regard all Democrats as the /
enemies and as symphathizers with tn,
rebels As the results Of such venomous

their cowardly hatred towards Democrats
indulged without danger to themselves.
On the return Of the soldiers every indi-

This principle might be extended upon
grounds Of military necessity and security
to all the slaves within particular State,
thus working manumission in such State;
and in Missouri, perhaps in Western Vir-
g;nia also. and possibly even in Maryland,
the cxpedicncy of such measure is only
a question Of time.
A system of policy thus constitutional
and conservative. and pervaded by the in
fucnces Of Christianity and freedom, would
receive the support Of almost all truly 10y
al men, would deeply impress the rebel
masses and ali foreign nations, and i;
might be humbly hoped that it would cc.s-
mend itself to the favor of TIE Almighty,
Unless the principles governing he fu-
ture conduct of our struggle shall be made
known and approved, the effort to Obtain
requisite forces will be almost hopeless. A
declaration of radical views, especially up
on slavery, will rapidly disin:egratc our
present, armies.
TIE policy of the Government must be
supported by concentrations of military
power. The national forces should not he

ton and numerous armies, but should be
