FROM MAssAcHusH
THE EMPLOYMENT OF CHILDREN.
TINE HOURS or roL AND THE POOR WA
cEs---THE COMPARATIVE CONDITION or
THE MANUFACTURING CLASSES or NEW
ENCLAHD AND OLD EhcLA AND.

From The New York Herald.
II is matter of common information that
children are more largely employed in manu-
featuring establishments in Massachusetts
than in any other section Of the country,
and it is equally true, but not so generally
known, that their condition is little better
than that Of the juvenile negro population
IN the Irlmy and fourishing days Of South
ern slavery. Education, morality and
Christianity have always been advertised as
the chief products Of the old Bay State, but
there has always been an intentional or ac-
cidental omission of less worthy character
istlcs OF this Puritan land. While there is
undoubtedly, much to admire in Massachu-
setts laws and cust0n ;, it is, nevertheless,
tree t'sat there is a very great deal to de-
nouac~, and it would seem to be well if some
OF the long haired philanthropists would
concentrs to their efforts upon needsd re-
forms about home, rather than attempt to
ameliorate the condition Of the less deser.
wing in distant localities.
The matter of the employment of children
IN manufacturing establishments Is one in
which there Is an opportunity for wise re-
form, an the f1nlands for it have been 50
numerous OF late that the last Legislature
was forced to take some decided action, and,
IN response to a cartload or more Of pc
titens, an initatory step was taken 10 the
passage Of law forbidding the employment
Of any children less than ten years Of age.
and the employment Of any between ten and
fifteen, unless they shall attend school three
months in the year, and none OF these to be
employed more than sixty hours per week
the penalty for violation being fine of fifty
collars from the parents, guardians, Or over
seerS OF the establishment.
To secure an enforcement Of this law, or
ascertain the possibility Of enforcing Il, Mr..
Henry X. Oliver, Of Salem, was specially de-
tailed, as a State ofhcar, to examine into the
manner il which children are employed in
the various manufacturing establishments
in the State, and report which he ha e.
Gently made to the Legislature il anything
bat corrobOrative OF The eminent character
Of Massachusetts,. Mr.. Oliver, in pursuance
OF accomplishing the work assigned him,
commenced correspondence with the town
clerks, assessors, and deputy State consta-
bes throughout the State, and the following
are among some Of the principal facts result
ing from the correspondence

steamer reached Liverpool, spccili

written in New York, was on file in the
