sable to meet the actual wants OF the mo-
ment. Still the bottom has been touched.
Our prospects grow steadily brighter. But
there is not yet active prosperity enough to
make labor richly profitable.
We have now sketched out the main rea-
sons which appear to account for the low
rates of wages Of which our workingmen
complain. It is our desire to see them well
paid--the higher the better; butwe ask them
whether they can expect, under the circum-
stances, to obtain more pay for their work
by simple requisition that their pay be in
creased? They may organize thoroughly
and prepare to seize the first opportunity
that offers itself for improving their posi-
ton. Can they, however, see their way
clear to obtain, at once, an increase in wages
which would swallow up the small margin
of profit now left to the employers, and
check, for time at least, q great part o.
the work now going on

NEW HAMPSHIRE ITEMS.
There is an Engine Company in Ports
mouth whose organization dates back over
one hundred and fifty years. Il celebrates its
anniversary with an annual dinner. Ex-Gov-
ernor Ichabod Goodwin is a member. Few
men in New Hampshire are more popular
land deservedly sol than Gov. Goodwin. He is
an enterprising, high-minded, intelligent and
public spirited citizen: and made one of the
best Governors New Hampshire ever had. He
seems more like Portland man than he does
like Portsmouth man. Portsmouth, you
know. is one of the richest old places in the
known world, but dreadfuly behind the times
in the little matter of enterprise and spirit.

p0ndents,

BURLEIGH, the New York correspondent o,
the Boston Journal, recently wrote that paper
avery readable letter, the subject whereof was
General Butterfeld the Assistant Treasurer
OF the United States. The impression ore
woa'd get of Gen. Botteifeld, if Burleigh's
letter was to be regarded as ga true story,
would be quite different from the generally re-
ceived opinion of that gentleman since the re-
cent gold speculation in New York. Burleigh
asserts that he was appointed to his present
position by the concurrence of the solid me
of New York and the moneyed men of Wall
street, and that eminent bankers and banking
houses came forward and offered tbemsa,ve
as his bondsnen.
And furthermore that he is pronounced on
all hands the ablest Sub Treasurer that New
York has ever seen, prompt, decided. affable
that the doors of his private room are wide
open, aud every one who has business with
h i'm can see him. Universal New York bears
testimony to the impartiality of his course
He keeps nothing hidden that ought to be re-
vealed, and he reveals to all alike.
In regard to the Generals accusers, Burleiph
says:
The party on whose simple statement (uot
afidavi) General Butterfeld has been accus-
ed, is well known in New York A dozen well
known bankers and brokers in Wall street all
hear this testimony, that within block of the
Treasury building in Wall street there are
three hundred bankers and brokers. Two
hundred and fifty would not believe any state
meDt the party would make. Others would
not believe him under oath; and no man whom
have seen OF any position, believes that Gen
eral b. has made cent out of bis position, or
TINT any man has ever got v ord out of his
mouth 10 aid him in a speculation. Many OF
his accusers stand perjured 10 courts, and their
statements would not damage any one
Burleigh then represents the moneyed men
of New York as being thoroughly aroused ard
ineensed at the attacks upon the Generals
character and determined to stand by him and
see that be has fair play. Now this reads well,
