The Social Aspect of RadicaIism.

From the World.
The mischief which the radicals are working
upon the constitution OF society at the North is
in some apparent danger of being overlooked
by those who see plainly enough the tenden-
cles of this evil spirit TO subvert social order at
the South. But to the communities which
radicalism torments by its presence, 1t is
really matter of greater moment than the
propagation of social confusion in remote
States--perhaps even matter of greater mo-
ment than the violent procrastinati IN of the
return OF peace between the sundered sections
of our common country. Against the evil work
which radicalism is trying to do in the nation,
all the great formative influences of American
nationality are contending.
As Mr.. Gladstone, in so lofty a spirit said to
the Tories of England, so the ConstitutIonalists
OF America may say to these disorganizers:-
"All the great social forces are against YOU;
they are arTayed, they are marshaiied on our
side." These people, who, like their prototypes Of
the Mountain" in France are prostituting the
name of liberty to passionate crusade Of self
will and Phsrisaic bigotTy against the very
being of liberty are destined to ignominious
failure. 'The banner which we carry although
| perhaps II may at this moment droop over our
sinking heads, yet it will soar again and float in

concentrated in Northern Italy. Two important
rumors circulate even in the conservative press.
One that Ricasoh the true friend of the Inde-
Is 10 be recalled to power, and the other that
"arbaldi Is 10 be put at the head OF mis- iavorite
corps, the. volunteers to fight either on the
and make demonstration in the rear of the
Imperial forces.
Wherever he is, his name will be worth a
host to the Italian cause. The Italian feet
seems ready to move towards the Adriatic, and
every possible preparation is being made for a
terrible and protracted struggle. The war
finds unbounded enthusiasm in the hearts of the
Italian people. Italy makes her Arst indepen-
dent stroke for national existence.
OF the position of France we have only NJ.
Rouher's speech as indication, which IS as
enRmatical as his masters purposes. The
few hints, however, conveyed In IL are for the
present neutrality by France, with no pledges
Tor the future.

The following account Of the frightful con-
dition of the Liverpool poor is taken from

on the results of official inquiry:
For four years has an epidemic Of typhus

pected to leave them until il has sucked the

WAGES IN ENGLAND.

Mr. LEONE LEVI has been writing a series
Of articles in the London Telegraph on the
working classes from which VIC take the
blowing:
As to wages, there is scarcely any diff
ference now between the different classes. A
considerable rise has been granted in all the
wages IN the building trades of late years.
After having received for a long time S.. Cd.
a DAY, or o3s. for a week of $50 hours. or at
Ine rate OF sd. per hour, the builders Of
LONDON, and practically throughout England
ana wales, have succeeded in getting Sd. per
hour Tor 564 hours per week or el Us. 3D.,
second-class men receiving I'd. and It'd. per
hour the work being daily from 6 in the
morning TO 800 IN the evening, OF II Z hours
less Il for meals, leaving ten hours work.
except on Saturday, when they cease work.
ing at l P. n, all overtime after ten hours
Wiih masons, and after twelve hours with
other trades, being paid as time and half
that Is, one hour counting as one hour and a
hall Ii Is doubtful, indeed, how far the
system OF paying by the hour may be con-
sldered fair and satisfactory arrangement.
First, II Is quite an exceptional method, pay
ment by the day or by piece work being the
uniform practice in all other trades. Sc
condly, although it may seem Justly to APP
portion the wages to the work, it puts the
laborer 10 disadvantage in case of broken
days in winter.
In Scotland the average wages of carpen-
tiers are 26s., masons 30s and skaters, plaste-
rers and plumbers 2ss. IN Ireland they
average as much as 32s., children receiving
os. and IS. per week. As compared with the
practice in Paris the London builders stand
greatly in advance. The usual time Of work
IN Paris IS from six to six in summer, with
two hours for meals, and from day break to
day get in winter, with one hour only for
meals And the average wages in 1860 were
four francs and a half per day, though prob
ably now, with the extra pressure for public
buildings, they may average five francs.
The quantity of labor being performed the
same, the Partisan builder gets 4s. 3D., and
the LOndoner has 6s. Sd, per day. The cost
Of living for that class is certainly cheaper
in Paris than in London; still it is worth
noting that, although the Partisan neither
gets his halfholiday on Saturday, nor a full
holiday on Sunday, and thus works all that
time more, he does not get as much as the
London builder.
