THE LABOR QUESTION.
Strikes Among the Mechanics In Va

From ibe N. Y, Express. ath.l
The laborcrs of the city, we see by their
notices, ale not only quite restless In view Of
the present rates OF wages, but demanding
moro. Besides painters, the hRrnessmakeTs
are on a strike, and the uattressmakers,
iourneymen tallors, slate and metal roofcrs,
and others, getting ready.

sistent In their demands for $3.50 per diem,
{fnstead Of 800, rs heretofore received ]
The Builders Association, at a recent meet
ing, passed resolution resisting the demands
OF the journeymfn, but upwards ol thirty
acccdcd to the strike on account Of contract
mcnt,-atter the completion or which they
viii adhere to their Society resolution. The
whole affair Is quietly conducted. Numerous
capitalists interested In building houses have
combined aud agreed not to Invest another
dollar until mechanics arc more moderate In
their demands for labor.
About two-thirds Of the ship carpenters
employed In the various yards arc On strike
for the s'eight hour system" The bosses are

borers also demand material increase Of
wages. The jonrneymen carpenters have
also made demand for an increase from $3.50
10 s5 a day, and there seems to be general
combination among the trades to enforce the
demand for higher wages. Whether the
strike will be successful or not remains TO be
seen. Builders yesterday seemed inclined to
give up their projects for the season rather
Than yield to the demands Of the workmen.

(Ffum the NeubnFport {Mass.) News, III. inst.)
It Is undeniab1e that the rubber was as a1x-
iots to be arrested as anybody VAS to take
him. This Is evident in the fact, that when
he had once been IN Boston, and his plunder
was safely there, On his second return from
New York he kept eight national bonds In
his trunk, just enough to Identify him with
the robbery, which bonds Were made payable
To Rufus L. Lord, aud were therefore worth
less to him for the time being, at least
Thus it appears that he was more willing
to be arrested than some parties were to ar
rest him, from another fact-that police OIL
GERS In Boston knew OF the robbery from tho
robbers Themselves. according to the state
ment In the Journal, THAT they knew It be
fore Dir. Lord himself did } and knowing 1t
from those parties they had not made the ar-
up by "Down East'' policeman, who was
struggling through New York Tor other ga,nc.

ton, and it would appear better for some men
If that mystery was cleared mp ; but this An

These railroad agents arc part of the peo"

and their arguments are entitled 10 consider

Statements and views, however. should be re-

remember that they are the representatives Of

PASSAGE OF THE CIVIL RIGHrs
RELIA,

The passage Of the Civil Rights Bill over
the veto ef the President is the first and only
Instance Of victory Of Congress over the
Executive since the days of John Tyler. In
the fourth year Of the reign Of that potcntatc,
Congress passed. an act declaring That 1t
should bs unlawful for the President 10 take
money from the Treasury TO build revenue
cutters, unless an appropriation should arst
DC made by Law therefor. John Tyler vetoed
this bill as be had vetoed three others. II
was returned 10 Congress and passed over his
head by two-thirds majority in both houses,
and from that day TO this, though many bills
have been vetoed, none has been passed over
3 veto until now. The coincidence Is striking,
hut not more striking than the fact that An
drew johnson himself, nearly twenty years
ago. made speech In the House of Repre-
fcn:ativcs, allud1ng to Tyler's vetoes, IN
which he said:
" We will psts by the adm1nsstsatiou Of Mr. Van
Bunn TO thai Of John Tyle. called By sou,e-but
not By me-tn desteton, 'ut Acctdeacy FfksideaG,'
hie Administration IL the only inst1pce IN which
~ WIS pasted over veto since the organ OF the
Novefntnc11"
The parallel ia now nearly complete. Let
the HoRec Of Representatives pass the Civil
Rights Bill over the ycto, as they certainly
will, and John Tyler and Andrew johnson
will stand in history rs the only two "Acci-
dency Presidents" :" whose vetocs were over
thrown by two-thirds Of the peoples repre-
sentatives in Congress
The action Of the Senate yesterday Ia a
greed staory.- It will tel powerfully on the
country, On the coming elections, and even
on the semi.barbasians whose treatment of
the eolored people renders civn Rights BIZ
necessary. The passage of the bill, in the
absence OF anything better, gives us pou do
- something to rest the lever on, which
will pEy out Andlcw Jol,nsenlsm from the
land. We arc told that the President will
not execute the Law. That Is one Of the most
important reasons why It should be passed.

The non voting white, whether child or
female, is subordinate member Of faniy,
the head Of which, II he has the right to vote,
will protect their rights whlle protecting his
own; at least, so tnr as they are endangered
by persons outs3de OF the family. Within
the 1amny, the liberty Of the pou-ycttngs
white, whether child or female, Is In fact sub
ordinate in many senses to the authority of
the head Of the famny-the husband and
father, to whom, under our system, the
ballot Is given THE religion nnd laws
Of all nations incnlcate almost iDpl-
cit obedience by children to parsnts,
even to the extent of absolving
children from responsibility for trespasses and
minor crimes committed under the commands
Of their parents. The legal status of non-vot-
Ing females is, when stripped Of all sophistry
and MISREPRESENTATION, one Of sub1ection TO
their husbands and fathers, tempered and
modified by gentlemanly gallant1y aud nat
uni affection. But In both these Cases the
recognition Of the family Institution as sys-
TEN Of government, the head OF which pos
sesses IN authority over lis other members
which he does not possess over outside per-
Sons, is IN admission that the family 1nstitu-
tlon impairs the liberty Of the other members
l1he family to the extent Of the authority
sted in its head. It Is not our present pur-
SC 10 discuss how Ear this vested "sover-
MY, tempered by Affection" Ia divine or
unnn. but only to recognize the well-knowu
ct, together with Its coro1lary, that "the
uou-yoling white, whether child or female," ;"
does not, under our present laws, customs aud
religious usagcs, cpjoy the sane kind Of lib-
crtv as the head OF the family to which they
belong.
But il fs easy to sec that for this subordlna-
tion m the fnInily, there is natural and wise
reason In the fact that pater familiar Is under
an obligation TO protect md support the
s.pon-voiing memberB, whether children or
lenuIes" In Ills family, and under all systems
