The NEEDLE-GUN CHECK MATED.
John Mitchell writes from Paris to
the New York NerS:
The needle-gun has met it's
match--a bullet-proof clothing for
soldiers. At the Belgian Tia, Nation
M, or Volunteer Shooting Ground,
the thing was exhibited for tho first
time by its inventor, n Nj. Bernard,
and in the most satisfactory manner,
namely: BY standing fire himself at
100 yards, having previously shown
that he wore nothing under his cloak
but shirt and vest. A conical bull
let struck him in the breast; it fiat
tened itself and fell down at his feet;
he picked it up and showed it to the
spectators. But he would suffer
nobody to examine the texture of his
new cloth, not having yet secured his
patent. His head and face were
covered with steel cap; and the
cloak reached to the ground. Such
is the story that comes to us in Bel
gian newspapers.

There has been in session, for the

ization, having for its Immediate OBJ
lect the agitation of the eight hour
days labor question, and proposing
that, $50 far as political action is con.
cerned, each locality should be 90
verned by its own policy, whether
Tin our political elections) to run an
independent ticket of workingmen,
or to use political parties already ex-
lsting; but at all events, to cast no
vote except for men pledged to the
interests of labor" Another resolu
tlon OF the convention proposes that
that league Of workingmen shall de-
mand that eff convict labor cannot
be entirely abolished, the same com
pensatlon shall be demanded by the
United States and the respective
States OF all contractors securing con-
vict labor as that paid in the work
shops outside Of the prisons" Vari-
Gus reforms in the interests of labor
were to be proposed, and they are to
De ag7tated by new political party,
formed of the leagues of all the work
ing classes throughout the United
States.
Here, indeed, are the elements for
tremendous political organization
for good or evil; and from these pro-
ceedlngs Mt Baltimore, it is an organ
lzatlon which seems to be already in
practical operation. A political party
embracing oil the workingmen of the
country, on the platform of the inte-
rests OF labor, is suggestive at once of
political revolution in the politics
and leading political questions of the
day, State and national The move
ment, however, is not only suggestive
OF immense power in our political
affairs. but of immense mischief, if it
should fall under the control of nn-
scrupulous politicians. We have
always held that labor should be
fairly rewarded, but that the laws be-
tween capital and labor, supply and
demand, should DO mainly left, like
the general laws of trade, to regulate
themselves. But if the workinpmen
choose to take the field rs q political
party, we may look-good or evil
for political revolution, and hence
We may expect from this Baltimore
convention the beginning of Il shak-
ing up of our political parties which
will soon bring about some very cx-
traordinary results.

THE RETURNING TIDE OF SPECIE.
The financial items by the Atlantic
cable which we publish to-day are of
the highest Importance. First, it
appears, that even in Paris, there has
sprung up surprising rush for Ame-
rican five-twenties and seven -thirties;
and next, that the steamer Scotia,
which left Liverpool yesterday, is
bringing over shipment of 911O,-
600 in British gold, or over $500, 900,
to this country. We had supposed
that the late arrival of similar ship
ment was q sporadic case, an expert
mental venture, merely as a specu-
lation. But from this second ship
ment, and this simultaneous demand
for our Government securities in
Paris, we may fairly infer that
larger causes are at work on
the other side than mere excep-
tional ventures by daring spectators.
We can hardly avoid the conclusion
that fears of n general European war
still exist, even in Paris, notwith-
standing the peace between Austria
Prussia and Italy, and Napoleon's re-
peated assurances that the empire is
at peace; and that. accordingly, hold
ers of money on the continent are
turning to the United States, as the
safest country for the security of their
investments. If this is the true view
of the case, then Mr.. Secretory Nc
Culloch may look forward hopefully
to an early appreciation of his green
backs to the gold standard; and we
may also prepare for the possible
contingency Of general European
convulsion, financial and political.

TO THE PUBLIC.

MEsSl $. EDITORS: While / WAS abse,,t
from the city on business, 1 was shown
your paper, Of the Esd inst, and was sur
prlsed to see paraded before the public, bv
several gentlemen, insurance agents in
columbia, c copy of a letter had written
our General Agent, respecting the coufiict
ing rates on cotton and other property I'm
this city. What their object in doing this
was, and why copy OF the letter was sent
to Columbia and published, leave for
discerning public to conjecture.
am sorry my intentions were so mis-
construed, particularly by those whom I
had always esteemed and respected. NV
sole object was to bring about uniformity
OF rates. by which all should be governed;
thereby making the business more agree
able to MS all. This was particularly de-
slrable, and have advocated it for ten
years or more. Letters Of the very Same
sort are written almost daily, and it is
strange that it was not appreciated, instead
OF calling forth such strange comments.
did not say that these gentlemen had
ever insured any cotton at the rates named.
only had offered to do SO. would saw
more, but deem it quite uuuecessary-it is
folly to try and make it appear that -in-
tended to misrepresent these agents. 4
feel myself that I am misrepresented. I
regret exceedingly the necessity which
compels me to write this communication,
and am truly sorry that the gentlemen
who represent other insurance companies
should have given cause for this. Besides,
l think we should cultivate and encourage
among each other, and all Others, kind
ness, harmony and friendship.
