THE Lane. QUESTION.

TIE ABor, Argus notices our suggestion OF
making Lon, &c, on . lay that Is giving
each workman q definite per Cntage OF the
price received for the conjont product, aud says:
let the experiment be tried bat fairly and flly.
Let ~ see whether the pudder viii get ont OF the
difference Of labor and earnings under thls system
more than be would H. ont Of wages laid By under
the present system. be had bought sewing machine
FOR his wife or paid small insil.mca on the purchase
Of a dwelling"
We do not consider the test proposed by
The .irgus conclusive. We have never opposed
the wages system on the assumption that
journeymen were inadequately paid. Some
times they are, but We think not generally.
We condemn the wages system as not calculated
to foster habits of thrift, foresight, and proyi-
dencc. The wo-kmen who gets his pay every
Saturday night is too apt to graduate his ex-
penditures thereby, and live fully mp to his in
come; so that he lays up nothing. and Is not
stimulated to mental, moral and mechanical
improvement as he would be under a different
system.
We should like to see in this city voluntary
association Of house-builders, for instance,
choosing their own foremen in each department
and grading their own labor, and taking contracts
to erect edifices from sub-cellar TO rooi-tree,
regulating their own hours Of labor, and paying
each member part Of his earnings weekly, and
the residue when the job is done 80 with
stove-makers, and mechanics and artihcers
generally. We DO not know that they would
thus secure larger earnings; but We
are quite sure they would become bet
ter husbands, better fathers, better citi-
zens, in the average, than under the pres
ent system. We think they would be more in
dependent, self-respecting, forecasting, and that
their relation to capital would be more just and
benefcent than now. And we hope to see the
experiment fairly tried. All our accounts from
the South concur in one point-that the Blacks
who receive q share Of the crop produce
work better and are more contented than
Others. And we presume this is one point
whereon human beings are very much alike.

The application in the case of the Meteor
alleged to be intended for Gillian priyateer-
for a release of that vessel to the claimants upon
their giving bonds, has been Overruled by Judge
Belts The Judge is Of the opinion that, in a
case of such grave Importance, he should deny
the motion were it matter of judicial dis
erection, but he conceives the question to be
covered by the statute, and that he has no power
to release the vessel on bail. Accordingly, he
denies the application, and the vessel will re-
main in custody to abide the final decision on
the merits of the case.

As the area of Spain is estimated at 10000
square miles, and the population at lG,5OO,OOO,
the united Republics contain about twO-tiths OF
the population Of Spain, but exceed that power
in territory more than five times. Bolivia, like
Ecuador cannot furnish for the present any
considerable addition to the allied fleet; but
the formal alliance greatly adds to the power of
resistance thus far displayed by Chill, and is a
new guarantee for the final success of the
republican institutions of South America in
their struggle with Europe.
The United States of Colombia, which have
a population exceeding that Of any of the Re-
publics above named (279i ,0O0), have preferred
not to conclude for the present formal ALI
ance. but to content themselves with a strong
declaration of sympathy. President Murillo,
in opening the Colombian Congress, emphati-
cally expressed this sympathy, but was silent
on the subject of the alliance. In the Con-
gress, a motion to join the alliance was made,
but it was voted down. 1t is thought, however,
that this resolution may not be irrevocable, and
that the President elect, who will enter upon
his office in April, may successfully employ his
influence for bringing about the alliance

The Hon. John 7. Stockton retains his seat
in the Senate by his own yote-there being q
to 81 till he united the knot. We think he had
a right SO to vote; we do not think it clear that
he was elected. There were 81 votes east, only
40 of them for him; and that is not majority;
and we lack proof that the Legislature ever
changed the rule which required majority vote
to elect In point Of fact, the Lower House
nerer did cOnsent-the vote Of that branch in
Joint Ballot standing 80 to so. However, the
matter is settled; but the Senate has estab-
lshed bad and dangerous principle.

CAUTION.

From now until November, the business men
of the United States will have to manage their
business with much diScreetness. The indca'
tons are that we shall have a time Of stress
and anxiety but, We venture to hope, not Of
panic. After the fever of the war, relapse
would not be strange, and an escape thus far is
mainly owing to the wise course of the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, and the strength given
our commercial system by the national loans.
We can now see the wisdom OF the men who in
the crisis Of our Republics existence never
doubted for an instant the integrity of It's credit.
Without the national loan as q basis Of circula-
ton. an Investment for superfluous currency,
a reservoir into which the resources OF the cOun-
try ebb and flow, never rising to an unmanage-
abe imitation nor sinking TO the depth OF a
panic. We should have had serious trouble with
our finances. The safety which the national
loan has given Us however, is the conservative
safety Of a constant refuge against panic, and
must not be trifled with. The business men OF
America will take counsel by the wise men Of
Britain who are now shivering in a storm that
NAV at any time splinter their timbers. The
caution that prevails in London should be I'M
tated in New-York. Then We can pass a. easily
into specie payments as the cold day; Of this
bleak March ripen into Spring.

ASSEMBLY.


The House yesterday passed-5J to 5@-the
Finance bill, so amended that the Secretary Of
the Treasury is forbidden to redeem more than
Sl0000,000 Of Greenbacks within the next six
months, nor more than $4,000 900 in any one
month.
As thus crippled, it is or impression that the
bill ought not to become a law; and, if concur
red in by the Senate We predict that it will be
vetoed. 1t is bad enough for Government
not to pay its debts, nor even try; but
to grayoly enact into law that,
Of debt bearing no interest, and for which the
value OF the face has been takcn-a forced loan
at that-no more than u per cent. shall be paid
within the next six months, nor more than one
per cent. a month thereafter, is too much Ike
Reputation to meet our approval. We see no
difference in principle between this and Mr..
Jack Rogers proposition that loans made on
the express condition that they shall not be sub
ject TO local taxation nevertheless shall be. But
make the Grecnbacks redeemable in specie on
demand, and wen unite in the effort to keep
them largely in circulation.
