The Compositors Of the London
Times.

The last number Of the Bookseller gives
US an insightinto the system which prevails
in the composing rooms Of the London
Times. Compositors evicce the greatest
desire to obtain employment in the great
establishment in Printing-house square.
None but first-rate compositors, however,
stand chance Of being taken on, and the
list Of eligible candidates is generally
pretty long one. Moreover the Times sys-
tenn Of raising competent compositors from
apprentices, keeps the supply nearly equal
to the demand. The Times is the only
London daily paper that employs appren-
tees, and this employment is, indeed, the
chief cause of dispute between. it and the
society, though the apprentices are only
engaged during the day, principally upon
advertisements. When compositor ap-
plies for employment ON the Times. he is
tested, in room by himself, upon piece
of parliamentary debate "copy," which is
usually written in not overlegible style in
abbreviated long-hand. If the applicant
can compose sixty lines Of minion, in q
fairly workmanlike manner, without "doubt-
let" out" wrong spelling, or dispropor-
tionate number Of literal or clerical errors,
within two hours, his name is placed on
register of competent hands, and he may
expect to be called in at the fret opportu-
nifty.
Once engaged the permanency ofhis post
depends upon himself. No applicant over
80 years of age is eligible, and if he fails,
upon trial, to come up to the required
standard Of efficiency, he is paid for his
sixty lines and dlsmissed-no one but the
manager and himself eingacquainted with
the facts Of his application so that in no
case can injury arise to society man from
asking for work on the Tines. In the
printing Office Of the (" leading journal" .
capital system prevails. Men are encour-
aged in provident habits as soon as they
attach themselves to the paper. Halt
crown in the pound is deducted from the
earnings Of each regular compositor, press
man, machineman, and warehouseman,
whichsum accumulates at interest during
the whole period of his employment, andi
given up to him in his retirement, and on
no account before. A sick fund has been
founded by the men, to which nearly every
one subscribes: and surgeon is perma-
nentIy engaged on the staff, and is always
in attendance or within easy call. Refresh
ments of all kinds are obtainable on the
premises at nearly cost prices, and the club
principle is carried out in nearly every de-
partment. Thus not only are the employ
ees cared for during the hours Of their
working life, but none can leave the Times,
after any number Of years. service, without
possessing that penny in the purse which
we are told is the best friend at court.

PREs1DENTIAL.-The Norfork Journal
thinks it a matter Of madness to nominate
PEsDLEroN as the champion Of q Restored
Union, because he pronounced the Union
a failure after Gettysburg and Atlanta.
Judging by the samples Of 1865, we
think PESDLEroN quite right in his judg-
ment. There never has been, there never
will be reconstruction in any true sense, un.
less the people return to some Of those first
principles OF Republicanism which PENDLE.

date Of genuine Democracy he seems to us

A Strange Legacy.

la Loque cannot we'll be imagined. At his
death his body was found stretched on
miserable bed in an attic of the Quarter
de Grenelle, which is anything but fash
ionable district of Paris. He was an old
man, had lived in the simplest way, sus-
tanning himself almost entirely on bread
His room contained hardly any furniture,
yet hid in corner was found little cup
board with numerous shelves, and on these
were sorted with the greatest order regi-
ments of corks. In the center was man.
uscript written by Pere la Loque, on which
he stated shat he had formerly been in
possession Of considerable wealth, now
squandered that of all his greatness there
remained but these corks, drawn in better
times to welcome many friend who had
now forgotten him that age and ruin had
taught their moral and that on each cork
would be found written its history. This
the old man did, hoping that it would
serve as timely warning, and that, placed
on shelves Of some museum or of philo-
sopher's duty, they might be found to il
lastrate human nature. On one of the
corks was an inscription to this effect :
!" Champagne cork; bottle emptied 18th Of

to make ten millions. This affair cost me

~ A dispute has grown up regard
ing the ownership of one hundred and
fifty EIGHT bars of railroad iron which
was brought down to our city yesterday
on board of the steamboat st. Nicholas
from Red River. The iron is claimed
by Mr.. Galloway, who it appears has
permission from the United States Gov
eminent to recover all the iron left by
the United States in Red River, for his
use and benefit. A counter claim is
set up by Mr.. Johnson, who alleges
that the iron in question was recovered
from the river by himself, and that it
was dumped there by railroad compa-
ny, and not by any one connected with
the United States expeditions in that
region. Mr.. johnson, it appears, had
hauled the iron from the river to his
plantation. The issue having been
brought before the District Court, Gen.
eral Buchanan has ordered the captain
of the St. Nicholas to retain possession
of the iron until the court shall decide
as to the right of the ownership, or shall
direct it placed in the Marshal's hands.
We clip the above from the Picayune
of Saturday. This dispute is we'll
known here, and the whole matter can
be summed up in a nut she'll and should
never have been matter of doubt or
litigation. This iron was brought here
in 1860 by the Steamer Saracen from
the Savage Iron Works in Virginia and
was intended for the Pacific Rail Road.
The river being too low for the Saracen
to ascend the falls. she tied up here to
await a rise. In the meantime q suit
grew up between the Works and the
Rail Road Company, and the iron was
attached and kept here. This went on
for more than a year, when the Sara
cen, being an old boat, soon became
rotten, worthless and sunk with the
iron on board. Some of the iron, how
ever, that was on the boat and a barge,
she had lowed up, was taken off and
put ashore, previous to the sinking Of
the boat. The Confederates took of
about twenty-five tons, the second year
of the war, for constructing Fort De
Russey; the balance remained there
undisturbed until Banks second raid
here in 1864. The iron was then taken
and thrown in the bed Of the river al
both Falls for the purpose Of construct
ing the famous Bailey Dam. There il
remained until Captain Johnston pur.
chased it from various parties, who
had, after much hard labor and ex.
pense, rescued it from the bed Of ole
Red. A Government purchaser nov
claims it, as the property Of the Gov
eminent. If the Government has ,
property right to this iron, it is passing
strange it should now be claimed at thu
eleventh hour, and more PARTICULAR.
after all the hard work Of getting it on
has been performed in good faith b.
citizens. Why does not the. Govern
ment claim all the machinery, bricks
lumber, rail road cars, houses tori
down and buried in the river, at th
same time and for the same purpose
Clearly if they have right to the Raj
Road iron, they should not, these har,
times, give up all the other tricks
Perhaps they are awaiting for thir
parties to cut out oil the hard wor
and then come in for the lions share.
