trouble, purchase or no purchase, II they ever
come into power.
In Mr. Parton's vigorous pamphlet on the
Danish Islands, which is wholly directed
towards this question, 'Are we bound in
honor to pay for them Y''-to which query he
returns hearty YeS--he introduces, as be-
comes a shrewd pamphleteer, one or two rea-
sons why, independent of "hOnorn we are
bound in profit to pay for them. He cites high
authorities for the value of st. Thomas, and
among others, noticeable comparison by
Mr.. l.. d. Spslding, OF New Hampshire, of the
advantages Of st. Thomas over both Samaua
and Cape st. Nicholas Mole. at is ready for
use," says Mr.. Spalding; cit is a port aud
city budt, and no very large amount of money
will be required TO fit it for naval purposes
But to fit SamaDa Bay or st. Nicholas Mole for
such use would require about as much
money as the first cost of st. Thomas. Itls
very easy of access and departure-One mile,
and you are at sea Whereas, Samana Bay
is very long aud difficult to enter or depart
from by sailing vessels, and St. Nicholas Mole
is also deep inlet, with great depth of
water, and its only good anchorage is at the
head of the bay"
But we do not desire to go into the general
question of the desirability of st. Thomas
still less into that of our moral obligation TO
pay for it. What we rather meant to allude
to is the comparative merits of st. Thomas and
Ssmana as subjects of purchase. If we have
possibly taken false steps in the one case, we
have certainly taken no steps in the other.
To treat Denmark as we already have is some-
thing; to proceed to buy Ssmans, after reject
ing st. Thomas, would be worse. II we need
to buy nything in the West Indies, we had
better take st. Thomas. We are aware that
Mr.. Fabens comes to us with certain advan-
tages. The last Congress developed the ex-
istence of a considerable Dominican ring (to
use the slang phrase of the day. in the House,
and the recent Hayti resolution shows that
that ring is still there. But neither this nor
the Fabian policy of reticence should avail to
foist Samana upon us. We declined st.
Thomas on the plea of economy and an empty
treasury; should we now go to work to buy or
hire neighboring island, or a part of it, it
would be adding, for Denmark, insult to in
jury.

all are shsrers in common benft. And
yet ours is not the view which elioits rounds
OF cheers from assembled workinQmen.
~. Though cooperation WAS alluded to. IL
did not seem to hold high place in the conf
denoe or the affections of those who engineered
the workingmen's meeting. We deeply
regret this TO our mind, cooperation is the
true and only eftectual remedy for many of
the evils complained of by the iaboring class
Let us take the case of the iourneymsp tailors
for illustration, because they were represented
at the meeting as worse paid and more op-
pressed than most others These live bv
making up garments, most of which are
bought and worn by working men. Their
trade requires no expensive machinery or
outfit, and but few dollars worth of stock
per hand. Let as suppose, then, that one
thousand iOurneymen (aud women) tailors
should this day resolve to drink no
more liquor or lager use no tobacco
and spend neither time nor money in
haunts of dissipation, until they shall
have save an average of 500 each.
and invested the 100000 thus accumulated
in the stock, implements, and fixtures of a
cooperative tailors' establishment. with a
stock Of ready made garments constantly re-
plenished by their own labor, while they
should stand ready to do oustom-work as re-
quired. Let manager, buyer, cutters, and
makers be paid fair wages each week, aud
let any profit that should be realized at the
years end be fairly apportioned between
capital and labor on some scale previously
agreed on as just and equitable-each stock
holder receiving dividend proportional to
the amount of his stock, and each worker
like dividend, based on the amount of his
yearly earnings. Why would not this plan
work Why should it not be tried We
believe that there are men among the
journeymen tailors who could work out the
problem triumphsntly; for, if there are not,
then the workingmen's clamor about the
tyranny Of capital is even more senseless
than we have ever supposed. If working
men will not buy directly of workingmen,
preferring the Intervention OF "boss," or if
they cannot trust themselves to choose fit di-
rectors of their labor, or if they will not prac-
tise the selfdenal requisite to gain the mode
rate capital required let us ascertain the fact
and conform to it; for the steed that will not
run the required race without rider must
not complain of that riders weight But we
are confident that cooperation is widely prac-
ticable, and anxious that the attempt be fairly
made. Not the least of its recommendations
is the fact that it will preclude further con-
troversy respecting the hours of labor, by
rendering each worker the master of his own
time, enabling.shim to work as many or as few
hours as he shall see fit.

England and the Rebellion.
From The ". 7. Times.

IRON m6 ~. I. ItnleSs
"The Northerners them selves, in bIockading
Southern ports, treated the Rebellion as a war,
for the right of blockade belongs to a state of
war alone. The Northerners themselves also
treated the Confederacy as de JdctO sovereign
power: for they exchanged prisoners with 1t,
accepted their captives as prisoners of war, and
In divers ways practically acknowledged the
Confederates as belligerents. And yet the lie
which their unscrupulous authorities only
dared TO utter on paper but dared not act upon
in practice, they would now cram down the
throat OF England From the Hamilton Can
ada) Times.
This is very great nonsense, and repeating
it constantly will not in the least facilitate the
settlement of the Alabama question, nor any
of our other difficulties with England. To say
that a nation cannot close any of her own
ports for purposes of domestic policy, without
thereby authorizing foreign powers to take
part, directly or indirectly, i'll her domestic
dissensions, is absurd. The fright of block
ade, technically so-called, as defined by pub
lie law, may be q right of war; but the right
to close ones own ports, to exclude foreign
aid from internal enemies, is the right of
every nation, and is hostile only towards
those against whom il is directed. 1t confers
no rights on foreign powers, nor have they
any right to construe it into an act of hostility
against them.
This has come to be one of the favorite
arguments by which the hasty and untriendly
recognition of the Confederates as belligerents
by England is excused or vindicated. 1t is
inst as shallow and worthless as the other
plea that by sending back their prisoners, and
by taking back ours, we recognized the Rebels
as belligerents and gave the British the right
to create for them navy and to send out
vessels to prey upOn our commerce.
The American people are not especially
anxious to have the Alabama question settled
at present, and they will not consent to have
il settled in the way proposed.

Samana or ST. Thomas!

From the ~. Il. Tunes.
Mr.. Fabens, Special Commissioner of the
Dominican Government, is now, we presume,
on the way TO Washington, laden with his
instructions to rent the Bay of Samana to the
United States. We are informed from
Havana, however, that he is pursuing the
Fabian poliey-keeping very quiet and shady,
or, as the telegram more elegantly, if more
redundantly expresses it, She is very reticent
on the subject, and no other particulars as to
the object of his mission can be obtained"
So, then, st. Domingo is to push st. Thomas
from his stool; and, whereas we have just de-
clined the offer of King Christian to buy the
harbor of Charlotte Amelia, we are expected
to welcome the proposal of President Baez to
rent his Bay OF SANTANA. Now, supposing ii
TO be granted, for the momont, that some
West Indian haIbor is desirable for us to ac-
ouire by purchase-which is, OF course,
preliminary point-what advantage do we
have in renting Samana over buying st.
Thomas We get the exclusive right at a
low figure in the one case, the rental at large
one in the other. 1t is true that the necessi-
ties of Baez, his 'anxiety to raise the wind"
in order TO meet his war expenses, will proba-
bly, reduce very considerably the price orlgi-
nally named. Bat We treat with preoarious
power-with a Government on the brink, pos
sibly, OF beipg depOsed; While, on the other
hand, half the Dominicans are set firmly
against the selling of Samana, and will give US

RIVER NEWS, WEATHER, ETC

The weather has been changeable for the past week, not adhering to any particular line of policy. The indica- lions at present warn us that we may expect some rather damp weather for a season. The river is declining, though fin good boating order.
 Thursday the Des Arc passed up and put of good freight for this place, passing down Saturday morning. Her clerk has our thanks for papers.
 The Liberty passed up last evening and will be down tonight. Captain John E. Davis is now on the root, and those who have travelled with him be- fore know how agreeable his presence makes everything. ~
 The Argosy, new Independent Memphis packet, passed up last Satur- day, in command of Capt. W. J. Ash ford. It made us feel glad when we found that Milt Harry occupied the office, for we began to fear that he had deserted us entirely. He is the most popular clerk we know on the river, and justly so, for he ie clever and obliging while he never ncglects his business. We vote for him every time, We also found Capt. James Rice at his old post, and the ever ready Johnny Smither with his book and pencil. It is good crew that runs the Argosy.
