CO-OPER11ITE L5BOR.

The strike of the carpenters OF this city Tor
an increase of wages to the extent OF fifty
cents per day, has been more nearly success
than such transactions are apt to be; and the
reasons for this we conceive to bic found
mainly in the conduct of the movement.
There have been three notable features in the
management of the strike, viz. The strikers
have not resOrted to violence toward employ
ers, nor toward those who chose to work at the
old prices they have not spent their time in
lounging about the streets and shops, but
have held daily sessions at their hall,
whence they have supplied all who
applied for help at the stipulated rates;
and they have used their voices, not in drunken
or incendiary harangues, but in seriously dis
cussing the cooperative system of labor In
this last project is to be found the prevention
of the many evils which are inseparable from
strikes, not only in the carpenters, but also in
all other branches of manual industry. If one
hundred carpenters will organize cooperative
body, elect proper and upright officers, adopt
suitable rules and regulations, and pay INTO the
general fund from S15 to S2J each, beside the use
of each mans chest of tools, they may Herewith
procure and equip shop, and become their own
employers, increase their general usefulness
to their families and to society, improve
their character as wOrkmen and their position
in the social scale, and secure at all times rea-
sonable prices for the results of their labor.
Then, if employers refuse to pay what is just
equivalent for skilled labor, the workman can
add his quota of cash and of skill to the general
capital of cooperative shop, and become
moi i'm 40 at thence
forth more than laborer he is producer, and
a man who must make personal study OF the
laws regulating the relations between capital
and labor BY being placed in the position now
occupied by the employer, he can the better
understand the force of arguments against
strikes and, realizing this, his influence will be
found in favor of cooperation and arbitration for
the settlement of disputed points. Where
the cooperative system has been fairly tested,
it has proved a complete success; and New
York offers equal advantages with London or
Canada for its operation. We hope to see
every trade with a cooperative shop so fairly
established here that it will act rs balance
wheel to keep the machinery of labor in regu-
lar motion The prices at this shop would not
be higher than the necessities of trade de
handed; for if they were, the employers shops
wonld cut under them nor would the CO.
operative workers underbid the employer so
long as the latter demanded only what was
eauitable for that would take the profits from
their own pockets. The strike Of the ..carpen-
tiers is, apparently, about at an end; but we
trust they will not be so shOrt-sighted as to
allow present success to blind them to the
permanent advantages of cooperation.

The bar of our City must have heard with sur
prise on Saturday evening that Thaddeus Belts
had resigned the position of U. s. District
Judge for this District and that SAMUEL
BLATCHFORD had already been commissioned
in his stead. Judge Belts was designated for
this post by President John Quincy Adams
nearly or quite forty years ago. His age can
hardly be less than eighty, so his resignation
is abundantly justified; but it is said that the
extra duties devOved on this judgeship by the
new Bankrupt law has more Immediately
prompted the step.
Mr.. Blatchford was private secretary to Gov.
Seward nearly thirty years ago, but has since adj
hered very closely to his early chosen profession,
wherein, though no orator, nc has, by industry
and assiduity, achieved a respectable standing,
more especially in ltigations concerning patents.
Though not conspicuously politician, it is UNI
derstOOd that, like his father, Richard NJ.
Blatchford, he has been a close follower of
Gov. Seward throughout his career and, as
such, voted the anti-Republican ticket last No

THE JTyEuBrRG QUESTION.

The Peace Conference of London, which will
be opened tomorrow, will not only be attended,
rs heretofore announced, by tue representatives
of France, Prussia, England, Austria, Russia,
and Holland, but also by those of Italy and
Belgium. Iays claim to being regarded as
one of the Great Powers of Europe
has thus been recognized in this, as 1t
has been heretofore in other questions.
Belgium Is, like Holland directly concerned
in the Luxembourg affair, for among the differ
ent propositions to solve the question is one
which proposes the incorporation of Luxem
burg with Belgium. This it seems is even sup
ported by Austria, which is said to suggest the
cession by Belgium TO France of sew
eral Belgian towns, in exchange for
Luxcmburg. Should this report OF the
Austrian policy be confirmed, the
breach which already exists between Austria
and the South German States would be greatly
widened, for South Germany shows an even
more determined opposition to the claims of
France than the Prussian Government. Austria,
if favoring in this question France rather than
Germany, would appear as the enemy OF the
integrity of German territory, and the preva-
lence of such an opinion might soon lead TO
very serious consequences.
AT the date of our latest steamer dispatches,
the French and German papers continued to
be greatly excited. Mutual charges were made
of warlike preparations. Both the Govern
ments denied these charges, but could not deny
that very great attention was being paid to the
strengthening of the army and the improve
ment of the military organization. Thus it is
reported that the French Minister of War had
addressed circular to the different mill
tary commandments, informing them that all
officers, non commissioned officers, cOrporals,
and bIigadiers, absent on six months furlough,
must rej0in their regiments by the Both OF
April. Prussia was making the utmost efforts
to hasten the incorporation of the armies of the
annexed States and Of the minor States
of the North German Confederation with
the PrUsSian army; and it appears
from the latest German papers that this
incorporation had been nearly completed. In
Prussia and all Germany the opinion was
nearly unanimous that war should rather be
risled than make any concession to France.
In France, public opinion was far from show
ing an equal unanimity, and large number of
rural communities continued to send petitions
against the Army Reorganization bill. Thus
he prospects of Prussia, in case war should
ensue, appeared to be decidedly better than
those of France.

The London papers Of the 23d ultimo pub
lish correspondence between Mr. Gladstone
and Mr.. Crawford, NJ. p, a member of the
Liberal party, in which the former announces
his intention to abandon the amendments to the
Reform bill standing in his name on the notice
paper of the House of Commons, and declines
taking the initiative, or any further steps to
improve that measure, but at the same time
places himself still at the service Of his party.
This letter is much more explicit than the one
previously addressed to the Guildford reform
ers, as to the course Mr.. Gladstone intended
to pursue in view Of the recent Reform de-
bates Its contents do not amount to posi-
tive resignation of leadership, but they GER
tainly imply his conviction of the necessity of
better understanding between the leader
and his followers, and of a definite policy
on the part of the Liberals, as essen
tial to any future party action. The
letters, and Mr. Gladstone's appearance at
recent popular gathering in London, have prob
ably had the effect of bringing the recusant
members to their senses, tho first result Of

cit, 70 per cent contlived TO "sette" their cases
without fine or penalty We do not think any
further facts are needed to convince honest
taxpayers that it was time the license business
was put into the hands Of those who would
enforce the laws.
The spiteful repeal by the Boards Of Council
men and Aldermen, Of all license ordinances,
thus removing all control from the classes
hitherto licensed, until such time as the Police
Commissioners shall complete their new regu-
lations, has not had the anticipated lawless
effect. On the contrary, the parties newly
released from legal restraint have q yet more
powerful check upon them than before, in the
fact that, as is their conduct now, so will be their
chances of securing license from the new
bureau The officers of police are taking care
full observations of each mans demeanOr
during this trial-time; and hence it is that at the
ferry docks and railway stations, one may even
meet with that rare bird of the METROPOLIS
civil hackman.
The new License Bureau will soon he in
operation. Whether its schedule of rates will
be higher or lower than the old, is not yet
known. But it may he confidently expected
that whatever amounts are clearly due the
City, either for original licenses or by way OF
penalties for neglect, will be demanded and
secured.

The monthly exhibits from the Treasury of
the state of the National Finances begin to
show the evil effects of the improyident, short
sighted reductions of Internal Taxes made by
the last Congress. Secretary McCulloch makes
our aggregate National Debt Oh the LIST inst
So, ,S75, 09S; deduct money in the Treasury,
Sl4S,O89,OO2 actual debt in excess of cash on
hand, $3.50, 7SG,O96; which is but $2,641,94
less than the sum reported on the 1st Of April.
But, ia stating the Debt, we believe no account
is taken of interest which has accrued yet is not
technically due; and we understand that some
500, 100000 of interest fell due on the LIST inst,
and has since been paid or is now in course of
payment. If such be the fact the next monthly
statement will startle Optimists with an APP
parent increase of the Debt during the month
of May.
Mr.. McCulloch reports sf1425O,4H of specie
in his vaults, whereof S15,4OO,44O belongs to the
Banks and is balanced by Gold Certificates
held by them. Beyond these, the gold on hand
is very nearly One HUNDRED Millions, which has
now been held for many months. Had tins com
been employed, year or more ago. Ill buying up
and cxtingushing Understanding Debt, we
should have saved at least S7,3OO,OO0 since paid
"a interest, beside more considerable sum i'll
the difference in market value between the secu-
rites redeemed and the gold which paid for
them. Wig this has not been done, if not to
the full amount, at least TO the extent of Sixty
Millions, we have not been able to comprehend,
though we have listened patiently to several
explanations of it. We have been told
that, if the Treasury had parted with its
large Specie reserve, the gold-gamblcrs would
have combined to run up the premium on
coin from 30 or 10 to 20 or so per cent This
would be important, if true" But we have
eyes, and can see that the premium on Gold is
vigorously governed by the discount on our
securities in the great European money mar
kcts. SO long Us Five-Twenties bring 7OG y IN
London, with corresponding rates at Paris,
Frankfort, and Amsterdam, it is morally impOs-
sblc that Gold should command premium OF
40 in New-York; and our gold-gamblers, though
very smart, are not the Rothschids and Hot
tinguers of Europe. In short, we think Mr. Me-
Culoch is not doing his best for the country.

doubtless prefer seeing Gladstone at the head

The matter of fine alleged fraud on the City,

The matter of the alleged fraud on the City,
in the leasing for ten years OF Fernando
Wood by the late Mayor and Common Council
of premises Nos. 115 and III Nassaust. as
offices for the law officers of the City, was
before Judge Barnard on Saturday, on an
application to enjoin the Controller against
executing a lease or leases for the premises
aforesaid, and the case was argued by Isaiah
I. Williams, esq. for the City, and by George
Shea, esq, for Mr., Wood. The more important
papers in the case are embodied i'll the report
printed herewith. 1t will be seen that the com
plant distinctly charges that $2i 900 was paid to
Mayor GuntlIer and certain Aldermen and
Councilmen for agreeing to rent the premises in
question.
