The Philadelphia Saturday Night tells
some facts, as follows, which are worthy Of
more serious cor ,ideration than they will
probably get
The system AT resent in vogue Of depre-
prsciating woman's labor, and paying her
less than half price for toe same amount Of
work when perez med by man, even in 3
less able manner, is al once the disgrace
lnd the ore tremendous crime Of this age
and the people. Contractors have grown
rich upon the fruits IT the unremunerated
toll u Tire poor needle woman ; merchants
nave rolled % wealth BY robblng friendless
girls Of their honestly earned wages, and
even the government Of the In ted States,
which squandeIs millions uselesely every
year, has stopped to the hiring of female
clerks to DO the work Of it, Departments,
because they could be got for smaller sum
than males. N~
The day Of the contractors has passed
away, and the blood money wrung from
these poor creatures will carry its own curse
with t, and the government must one day
pay its debt also But the merchants still
continue their iniquitous system right here
in the heart Of this Christian city.
Our wholesale clothing houses vie with
each other in deprecialing the l-5or Of their
seamstrCsses, until the price Of garment
is sc small that it hardly pays the makers
car fna from house TO store. The Song
Of the Shirt" finds a painful ECHO in the
hearts Of thousands OF poor women in this
town, vino work dag aud night until their
eyes are blinded and their fingers and hearts
ache, simply to keep soul and body together,
and themselves from moral ruin. These ex-
tortioners admit that they pay too small a
price for work, but they excuse themselves
On the ground thas Trey cannot improve II
as individuals, because their neighbOrs will
uEdersell~ them, and SO they make no effort
toward reformation.
| The retail merchants OF this Q ty are like
wise guilty of this oppress..s. The system
they adopt is TO procure st,e services OF q
young girl six months for nothing under the
pretence Of teaching her the business. She
is a useful hand at the end Of a month, and
SO five months labor is procured without
the payment Of cent. The latter half Of
year s5A receives two dollars q week, while
her board COST perhaps four dollars. Th'
second year she gets three dollars week
and is first rate hand. The third she !,
discharged 20 make room Tor the new corners
who cost nothing This is the rule in almos
every establishment in this city. There ar,
some honorable exceptions, but they ar'
rare. Five dollars week, we venture II
say, is the highest rate paid to the best anC
Oldest hands in the majority OF stores.

tozcibly says:

A SHARP RACE AND SHOOTING AFFAIR
Many of our citizens must have noticed
fancy-looking yellow fellow, with red cap and
blue military coat, who, for some days, has
been creating quite a sensation upon the
streets, particularly amongst the black Des-
demona's. q
About four o'clock yesterday afternoon, as
a gentleman was turning the corner of Roam
oke and Main streets, he was run against and
knocked off the sidewalk by the above-men-
toned fancy niger"
The gentleman demonstrated with Othello
for his ruderess and, by a threatening motion
of the negro, he was led to believe Sambo
meant shooting, when, in turn, he drew re-
vover, when the negro made tracksin double
quick down Main street, closely pursued by
the offended citizen, who took one shot at
Sclpio Africanus, but missed him. "Ihe
colored troops fought bravely." ~

sweet harmony Of such heavenly sounds.
