We are asked by Mr. IL. Friedgen, Agent
of the Commissioners of Charities and Correc-
ton, to call attention to the fact that those
Commissioners, through their admirable Labor
Bureau, procure advances frem parties in the
West who need labor, and Herewith defray
the expense of transporting not merely men
but families to- districts where Labor is
wanted. on the strength of the laborer's con-
tract that he will repay the sum thus advanced
out of his first earnings.
We do not suppose that many will profit by
this arrangement. There is q very large class
who hate bona fde work, and choose to live
from hand to mouth in some great city by
few odd jobs, eked out by public charity and
private beggary or theft. You can't drive
these into the country and, if you could, it
would be- hardly fair to the country to send
Them but any able-bodied man can find work
if he will, and can go or be sent where it is
if he is willing, as good many are not.
There is nothing more false and fraudulent
than the presenses of the multitude who run
from where work is to where it is not and
then whine, over their inability TO find it.

Spain has not lately given us worse news
than that Carlism has come to life again within
her borders. Such at last seems verbally the
case. Don Carlos on the frontier, with a con-
siderable body of friends beyond, with parti-
sans in CASTLE, the Asturias, and Catalonia, is
the bOldest claimant of the vacant throne who
has yet appeared. He does not offer himself
as a candidate, but rather bids to become the
elect of the sword in virtue of the old claim put
forward thirty-six years ago by his father, Don
Carlos the Pretender. The son is now 81 years
old, and is making the last of several Intellectual
attempts to enter Spain. Since 1916 he has lived
principally in London and Naples, in which latter
city he married the sister of King Ferdinand,
and has borne the titles Of Count de Monte
molin and Duke of Madrid. His political opin-
ions are Bourbonized to the last degree. He
lays claim to the throne by virtue of the 'holy
"right of law rather than the divine right of
kings, and in letter to his brother expresses his
abhOrrenceOf the principle Of popular sovereign
ty and his belief in certain liberty which he
calls the daughter of the Church. The mani
festo Of Don Carlos is sufficiently wanting in
intelligence for all purposes, royal and aggres-
siYe, and in n country Of much ignorance and

A PHILADELPHIA JUBILEE.

From Philadelphia come rumors Of mighty
uproar wherewith is to be celebrated the one
hundredth anniversary of American Independ-
ence. The festival is still seven years distant.
but Philadelphia is a slow city and means to
have a magnificent affair, and so perhaps the
time allowed for preparation is none too much.
This is all very well in the abstract, and we
do devoutly trust that the 4th of July, 1876,
will be celebrated with all possible heartiness
in every part of the United States. 1t is
proper, too that philadelphia, which witnessed
the birth of the American nation, should also
be the central point of the festivities which
are to illustrate its centennial anniversary.
But we protest against absurd limitations
of the Boston Jubilee. The two gentlemen.
Messrs. l.. Engelke and NJ. Richard
Muekel. who announce themselves as
the primary committee, and in q letter
to Gen. Grant ask his blessing upon tho en-
terprise, we are panied to say are not so well
known in New-YOrk as some other people, and
for aught we can say may be demnition no
bodies representing only their ambitious
selves: but Philadelphia papers accept them
without question, and so we take for granted
their official character and their local fame
1t is their purpose to have q colossal coliseum
on Paramount Park, and Musical Festival
lasting an entire week. The great shed on the
Back Bay dwindles to the puny dimensions Of
a dog-hO in comparison with this stipend
GUS Philadelphia structure, which is to hold
100000 people, and be filed with the music of
1900 performers.
This, in our opinion, is pushing the Jubilee
enthusiasm to the point of ridicule. If the
success of the Boston experiment is to involve
us in round of musical monstrOsities, each
successive one bigger than any which went
before it, we shall soon come to regard Mr. p.
s. Gilmore as an enemy OF the human race.
Are we to have a perpetual growth Of chorus,
q constant aggregation of anvils, the booming
of ever augmented batteries, the marching Of
nterminable firemen, and Hail Columbia getting
louder and louder every year9 The Quaker
City projectors emulate the magician's disciple,
who learned how to make broOmstick fetch
pals of water, but could not stop it, and was
drowned in consequence. Boston went little
too far in the multiplication Of harmonies, and
where her enterprise was imperfect was pre-
cisely where it was biggest. A monster cele-
bration of the American centennial is of course
highly proper. We should like, for instance,
to hear the Declaration of Independence read in
front of Independence Hall by all the members
of Congress simultaneously. But we protest

There is q crisis in France of which the
Emperor's reconstructed but UNIFORMED
Cabinet can give us no idea. "What is i'm
pending" says a correspondent, is nothing
"less than revolution-the conversion Of
"absolute into parliamentary rule.' That
revolution need not for the present be warlike,
and by his apparent concession of most of the
Parliamentary reforms demanded, the Emperor
has shown his anxiety that it shall not DO so.
Having gained this much, the Parliament has
sued for more, and has not stopped short Of
assailing those foundations of the Empire, the
Procedures. 1t is an evidence of en-
boldened liberalism, and equally of imperial
failing, that one hundred and four members
of the new Legislature, including men of the
Conservative class demanded that the Legis-
lative Body should be free to criticise the pol
icy of the Government, and to put questions,
to make motions and amendments without
subjecting them previously to the veto of Ma
poeOn's council The resolution of the Third
Party demanding q responsible Ministry, and
the freedom of Parliament from the trammels
of the official rules, reckons upon the UMPIRE
cedented strength of 155 votes, leaving the
Government in a minority of %. The terms
presented to King John at Runnymede were
little more explicit than those offered to NapO-
leon to-day.

A good many colOnists have gone to Brazil,
and come away disappOinted-the cause OF
their failure having been partly in the country
and partly in themselves. Both have suffered
from the curse of Slavery. which weighs upon
nothing more than upon immigration Yester-
day we heard of the last of the rear guard OF
Southerners, who came the other day from
Brazil, whittier they had adventured after the
war, for the prime purpose of employing slave
labor in the business of plantation. They went
to a land filled with slaves and flowing with
milk and honey-but nothing came of their
eager venture. Everywhere they failed. From
a sheer love of the forbidden institution they
sought Brazil, and have returned, we should
think, with a hearty disgust of it, and with no
great claim to pity for the failure of an ignOble
experiment. Home was best after all, and
they might have tried Freedom instead OF
Slavery.

Not the least among the benefits conferred
upon the Revenue and the public by our list
of Income taxpayers, and of Poor Men who
pay no taxes, is the Indictment it has given to
the Department to prosecute those who are
defrauding the Government by returning no
income, while living in a style that betokens
almost princely revenues. We beg to assure
the authorities that the mine to which we
have called their attention, and which we
are now assured they propose working,
will reward the most careful explora-
tons. Let them take our list of Poor Men
of New-York as a basis. They will soon find
that it can be enlarged tenfold. Many of these
Poor Men have already fastened to pay their
taxes since the publication of our lists; the
announcement of a Government investigation
will quicken the steps of many more toward
the offices of the Collectors in their respective
districts. But there will still remain rich pla-
GERS that only careful and thorough investiga-
ton can proftably develop

Anything more absurd than the coarse of
the State Educational Convention in Virginia,
in putting over for a whole year tho subject
of educating the Freedmen, we CONFESS our
selves unable to imagine. AS social peace,
safety, and prosperity in Virginia depend al
most wholly at this moment upon the general
culture of all classes, without regafd to cutie
ular tint, the sooner the work is commenced
the better; nor is there any reason to suppose
that it can be more conveniently taken up next
year than this. The postponen.eot was made,
wo are told, "in view of the present anomalous
condition of affairs !" but is there any reason
to suppose that affairs will be any the less
anomalous" in. 1870 than noWf 1t is MT tho
affairs that are anomalous" but the leading
men who are aeephalous.
