The Jacobin Idea OF Government

The Boston Post asks "lf the present
Congress can abrogate the present Govern.
ment Of the Southern States, why can't the
next Congress abrogate governments rec
Ognized by this Congress, and one Congress
after another go on In the same way? The
question is pertinent. The doctrines of the
Radicals tend ultimately 10 anarchy"
And II, as they constantly say, the Con-
stitution may be oyer-ridden by majority

Constitution at all? II the Radicals can

ever we get that majority, against whose

COOPERATION AND LABOR

The efforts that are making now IN different
quarters to effect the cooperation IN labor have
begun 50 quietly, and been pushed SO naturally
rhnt. although they have attained considerable
oull and importance. they attract probably
much less attention than they deserve. In fact,
they mark q new epoch IN the economies OF IN
dustry-an epoch. we believe, Of peaceful pros
nerity and OF personal as well rs social virtue.
There is nothing speculative Ii the movement.
The beauty of It Is that speculation has nothing
10 do with it. and can have nothing 70 do with
r so long as it runs on It's own clear lines
The principle that anmates IL IS SIM
plicirv itself All the old teasing theories are
nut az rest. The ancient quarrel be
tween labor and capital is laid aside and for
gotten. The idea that labor and capital must
be two distinct dynasties. or forces. or depart
ments. is banished. The same man constitutes
himself capitalist and laborer, to the extent Of
his ability. There. in a nutshell, Is the whole
matter Thus far it has seemed To be the ac-
cepted rule that capital In large MASSES should
take the initiative, and al once proceed 70 make
the best terms with labor Il could, while labor
stood waiting, cap in hand, calculating It's
chances of getting the largest remuneration for
the smallest service. From this state of things,
however tempered and modified. came all our
sorrows. Il has at last occurred to the work
ing people that they may as well take the in
itiative ior themselves. They must, OF course,
do it IN very small way at first; but 70 do
il nj all is a great advance on any previous
industrial estate yes, only TO think OF doing
it is a discovery.
The method il SO plain that itiwould hardly
need stating, even if IL had not been fully
stated already. A hundred men, more or less,
Law by "A part of their weekly earnings, put the
sums together. invest the money IN the articles
requisite Tor supplying "A stored with articles of
daily consumptIon--meats vegetables, groce-
ries and so forth. The capital thus amassed
il held in shares, at!ashxed value. The associa-
ton choose officers and a board OF manage
ment rent their store, hire agents 20 buy their
produce &C first hand, apportion their Outlays,
TX their prices, decide on the fair distribution
of profits and begin. This Is the simplest
form Of the experiment, and on this small scale
il has been successfully tried. There Is no
reason why in this form it should not be tried
on a large scale why, for instance, complete
provisioning cooking, and eating establish
ments should not be organized and conducted
with profit, by men who cooperate IN sufnclent
numbers or who can contribute sufficient funds,
by master mechanics, for example, whose earn
ings are considerable.
But this, at the least, is but the rgdImental

WsyIuILI4N AND NAPOLEON

The correspondent of the Associated Press
sends from New-0reans a document when
purports to be a proclamation from Macmillan
TO ms Mexican countrymen.r We give the
proclamation elsewhere in full, though we can
not repress a very strong doubt OF It's authen-
ticity. If true, il would certainly be the most
extraordinary proclamation which has been pup
lished by any sovereign or would-be sovereign oil

present century. lt charges Napoleon the
Third with having "cOwardY and UNANIMOUSLY

Then. it says, will Napoleon the Third

such words are not commonly used by mon
arch when speaking OF another prince, ana It
il, therefore, barely necessary TO remark that
if genuine, they would produce not only II
France, but throughout Europe, IA extraordl-
nary effect.
That the feelings OF Macmillan toward Ma
poleon have been most bitter ever since the
withdrawal of the French troops from Mexico,
is generally known. Curious reports are beng
circulated IN Europe concerning couespon-
dencc between Napoleon and MaxImiian. Ihe
EMPEROR Napoleon made the utmost efforts 60
get back the letters written by him O.
the Emperor OF Mexico. and the attendants
both Of the Empress Cariotta and those OF
Macmillan were bribed to search Tor the cor

When we find such man declaring

which aims to restrict the nights of the colored
men. This Is progressive. and these frank

The management Of the real estate belonging
70 the city has always been a source o.
profit to the Ring and the recent sales Of
property have given It's members much alarm
The Common Council. therefore lately repealed
the resolution of February, 1864, which gave
the Controller power 20 sell the city property.
Mayor Hoffman yesterday vetoed the re-
peal. and In his letter, elsewhere pub
lished gives good reason for the act
He does not admit that the Controller
derived power TO sell property in question from
any resolution OF the Council, but from the
charter and the Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund and vetOes the repeal not because it has
practical effect, but because it aims TO deprive
the Controller Of powers which the public in
terests demand he should exercise. This act Of
the Mayor has the full approval of the people.
