The New York herald., 1869-01-18


We published recently long, graphic and In
structive account Of the condition of the work
ingwomen of New York. We have read nothing
in recent years which has so convinced us that
among our many social questions all of which
are important and all of which demand study
and reflection, there is a woman's question which
can hardly be over-estimated, but the full i'm
portance Of which is as yet only dimly per-
ceived. The sorrows Of the seamstress is an
old story, much older than Hoods ''Song of
the Shirt-older, in fact, than large cjties older
than London, or Rome, or Nineveh, or Baby
Iona story, however, in which large cities
are specially interested. It is painful fact
that vice is bred of poverty, and that one Of
the worst forms of vice grows out of the hard
ships of well meaning but helpless and needy
females. There is no greater blot on our
modern civilization than this, that in all our
great cities-in the New World quite as much
as in the Old-there are thousands Of virtuous
and high-spirited women who have no choice
but to starve or sin. That such is the fact it is
impossible to deny. That it should be a fact
is certainly not in harmony with the genius
and spirit of Christianity. Why, then, in this
nineteenth century, have we to lament
that such state Of things exists ? Why is it
that unprotected womanhood in New York,
in London, in Paris, in the very centres
and sources of Christian light and power,
should be exposed to perils which would have
put doomed Pompeii to shame and which
would have brought the blush to the cheek of
pagan Rome? Why? If it is not the fault of
Christianity it must be the fault of so-called
Christian men and women. We have no lack
Of churches; we have priests and parsons and
preachers in sufficient abundance; but what
are they all doing? So far as the helpless and
forlorn woman is concerned, might not the
churches and their well-fed, well-clothed and
well-housed officials as well be in Alaska or
the moon? What is needed is not SO much
choirs, nor incense nor sermonizing-all Of
which are good enough for the good and those
not yet 1'out of the way"-as going down
among the people and practically graphing
with the social evils Of the day. A little more
of such work than the world is now familiar
with, and the millions annually spent in the
name of Christianity would show better
result. AS we have but small hope of the
churches, we are glad to know that the work
is likely to be undertaken by others. Politically
we have not much sympathy with women's
rights women but if Susan B. Anthony and
her able coadjutors prove themselves of real
benefit to the unfortunate seamstress and
grapple at all successfully with one of the
greatest social evils of the age they will be
entitled to the thanks, or, what is better still,
to the sympathy and cooperation, of every
well-meaning man and woman in the comm,l-
nifty. This is their true and legitimate sphere.
In that sphere we heartily wish them success.

The SUPPRESSION OF TnK ENGLISH +. R.
The English authorities evidently seem bent on
breaking up the prize ring. Two buffers were
recently fined in London for engaging in
purilistic encounter. Let us hope that this
decision on the part Of the guardians Of the
peace in England win have the desired effect,
and that pugilism, 80 long disgrace TO the
age, will he cnectually suppressed.

INTERESTING FROM CUBA-PRosPEoT OF
SERIOUS ENGAeEMENT.--Cab dispatches from
Havana received last night furnish us with
some interesting intelligence relative to the
progress of the insurrection In Cuba. Itseems
that desperate struggle is imminent at Puerto
Principe, and that extensive preparations were
being made on both sides for the conflict. The
peace commission, composed Of prominent
Cubans, had arrived at the theatre OF war, and
were endeavoring to effect compromise be-
tween the beIligerents. 1t was doubtful, how
ever, whether they would succeed. The fact
is the insurrectionists are bent upon having q
good fight and will not bc satisfied without
one. We shall probably soon receive intelli-
gence Of serious engagement at Puerto Prin-
cipe, and perhaps at other points on the island.
