Political WOrkinymcn.


The workngmen, or at least that portion of
them who profess to lead all the others in the
paths of political reform are in no respect
exempt from the ways of politicians generally.
They quarrel in their meeting rooms, denounce
each the other as being traitors to the cause,
and openly accuse brother members of being
guilty of double dealing. Like the Heather
Chnee, their ways are peculiar. II working
men were true to themselves they would take
lesson from the course pursued by the Free
masons, who never in their capacities as such
interfere or mix themselves up with politics.
They follow ont the objects Of the organza-
ton which binds them together in bonds Of
charity, benevolence and kindness. To their
non-intermeddling with outside affairs may
be attributed that great success which has
enabled the Masonic fraternity to live for ages
Workingmen, many of whom are Masons,
should have profited by the example set them
by the success Of Masonry, yet we find they
have been exceedingly slow in learning the
lesson.
Some years ago in England the trades
unionists, by the arbitrary course. which they
pursued, brought down upon their heads the
contempt of a large class Of the thinking
people of the country. This feeling was not
confined either to the moneyed classes, but
was shared by many of the workingmen them
selves. Most arbitrary in their demands, they
not only injured themselves, but helped in a
IN nhorr ind, al
suits. Very many mechanics and working
men. too, were forced into these unions by a
snecies of intimidation which amounted to
tyranny.
Now, while American workingmen are free
in great measure from the abuses which led
their English brethren into such excuses. they
stand very much in danger Of drifting or
allow themselves to be drawn by the fool
ishness or knavery Of self-styled leaders
among them, into political complications.
That trades unions can accomplish much good
we do rot deny; that they have produced
some desirable reforms it is not our intention
to contradict; but that reforms, benefits or
good can result from the present course pur-
sued by many Of the leaders in the working
mems political reform movements in this city
at the present day we declare to be simply
impossible What Is more, the vast body Of
workingmen enrolled in the trades unions here
are not in sympathy with those men who set
themselves up as the leaders Of a working
mems political reform party The game is too
thin. These prominent workingmen, conspcu-
Gus because they are possessed of the neces-
sary amount of ''cheek," are seekers after
office for the emoluments which it confers and
for no other purpose. Place them once in
power and they will forget the means by which
they rose into position. Besides this they
know little or nothing about that which they
pretend they desire to reform. Workingmen
should be cautious about the protestations of
such sspisaata lQg political pretsr@.s9nt.

IMPORTANT, IF TRUE-The statement from
Boulogne that General Burnside was author
lied by Bismarck to propose postponement
Of the bombardment Of Paris until after the
Constituent Assembly met and decided either
for peace or war. If this be so, why not de-
clare an armistice in the usual form until
France has government with which Prussia
can treat for terms? 1t must come to this in
the end; especially in view of the indifferent
attitude assumed by Russia, Austria and Eng
land. The war is now between the German
people and the French people. When the
Constituent Assembly is authorized to speak
for the latter some positive terms can be ar
rived at.

some very extraordinary points Of evidence.
First, we have the positive ante-mortem de-
claration of the deceased that his wife pushed
him out of the window. Next, we have the
testimony Of an eyewitness, who swears that
he saw the whole transaction and that the
woman threw the deceased out by force.
Then, the wife herself asserts that she was not
in the room at the time of the disaster, and in
this statement she is borne out by the affidavit
of her son. Here is nice web for the Coro-
ner to unweave.

Nor QUITE FAST ENOUGH. 1.-The French gun
boats In our harbor are evidently not equal to
the task of obstructing the Bremen steamers
on their outward voyage. The Latouche Ire
vile allowed the steamer America to pass out
under her very nose on Saturday, and did not
attempt to follow her, having learned by her
experience in chasing the Hermann that she
could not come up with her. If the French
government means to blockade the port of
New York they must send some faster vessels

FUNDING THE NATIONAL DEBT.-Secretary
Boutwell, has issued a circular. which will be
found in our Washington kilograms, defining
bis plan for commencing the work of funding
the five-twenties under the law passed at the
last session Of Congress. Subscriptions will
be invited from the public, and respectable
bankers allowed commissions for negotiating
the new loan, which is exchaugable at par for
the old. The circular also declares in what
order awards shall be made where subscrip-
tions are competing, and Is in general an elab-

OuSCo cSEvACc9 Ioet0r0oys
F. There was marked increase In the numbet
Of attendants at church yesterday. Every
place o. worship MAS crowded Resplendent
Fashion, having temporarily retired from Paris,
shone in all her original grandeur, until II
became difficult matter to say whether the
dresses or the sermons were the best, both,
In some OF the churches, being the last
sensations. Rev. Mr.. Hepworth, at tho
CHURCH OF the Messiah. delivered his
third lecture on sThe Moral Asn.ct al
Europe" in which he gave Napoleon some
very hard raps. On the other hand. Father
honay, French missionary, in most elo-
qnent sermon at the Church OF St. Louis IN
Williamsburg, praised the Emperor hipblv
and predicted his early restoration to tho
throne. His picture of the suffarings of France
was quite touching and affected his congrega-
ton to tears. The Pope, of course, came iu
for basting, DR.. Dix, at Trinity, declaring
that the browning sin of Rome was in pro-
claiming an enthroned God, and said
many ether hard things Of the Catholic
Church. There are, however, always two
sides to every question, and consequently
those who do not agree with the anti-popery
doctrines Of DR.. DIX can read our reports Of
sermons at the Catholic churches, where the
recent misfortunes Of tho Holy Father were
made tho subject of much eloquent argument
and where infallibility and all the other dog
mas Of Catholicism were explained and ex-
tolled. We would, however, suggest that there
might be good policy in reading but one side
Of the question, lest perusal Of both ends In
the believing Of neither. +
Sermons q . more general nature. and in
some respects moro instructive, were delivered
At the other churches. Brother Beecher was
particularly pathetic on the subject Of the wo-
man with seven husbands and the future life.
And well he might. We should think that tho
contemplation Of such domestic arrangement,
even In the future life, would incline one to
pathos and even anxiety. At Lyric Hall Mr..
Rockingham took piety for his theme, and adj
ministered severe rehuke to cant. He seemed
to have tolerably clear idea of what piety is,
but he thought that it was not displayed by
mankind exactly as he believed to be right
and proper. At the New England Consrega-
tional church Rev. Mr.. Richardson discoursed
ON the renovatiug power Of Christianity, while
ct the Elm Place Congregational church in
Brooklyn the Kingdom Of Heaven was the
theme. In the same city, ct the Grand street,
Methodist church, Rev. Mr.. Hendricks gave
the young ladies some sound advice on sub
jects matrimonial and few hints on the same
10 husbands expestaut. ''Though he may
have boundless fortune" he said to the fair
maidsns, will you marry . man who viii
bring upon you not only poverty, but disgrace p
How man with ''boundless fortune" 10 to
bring poverty upon his wife we cannot magine.i
At the other churches In this city and
Brooklyn, and at Washington and elsewhere,
the sermons were good and the congregations
large. The day was such very dne one that
we are certain the devil must have suffered
serious loss.

BRITISH NEUTRALITY AGAIN.-COunt Bern
storff has written note to Earl Granville on
the subject Of neutrality which would be
severe blow to British pride and pluck if those
glorious qualities were not altogether things of
the past. The Count proves that large quanti-
ties of arms have been shipped to France and
large contracts for more are now being filled
by British manufacturers and merchants, and
holds that this merely serves to prolong war
which might otherwise have been prosecuted
to permanent peace long ago. The laws Of
Great Britain, if enforced, would serve to pre-
vent their shipment, and Prussia cannot APP
preciate neutrality which allows such laws
to be violated, especially as Prussia herself,
without regard to reciprocity, has declared
and followed out the principle Of security to
private property on the high seas, a principle
which prevents her TO certain extent from
capturing the ships carrying these arms TO
France and leaves her greatly dependent on
similar generosity on the part of the great neu-
trail Powers. This is strong appeal Prussia
comprehends what England does not-that
honor and principle should be at the foundation
Of every government and that something more
than shopkeeping constitutes the State.

Resurrection Of tho Old National Intelllgenccr.
The National IateNigencer, of Washington,
after seventy years of existence through vari-
GUS phases, and when on the verge Of death,
has suddenly risen into fresh life. From the
advanced number before US it appears that
this old journal is to change its locality as well
as it's character 1t is TO be published in New
York, or, as the heading says, is to be IRE
moved to New York" But it is to be weekly
paper, and not, as formerly, daily. Nor is
the old spirit of Gales and Seaton to be re-
vived, nor any of the ancient and obsolete
wing politics, Of which this journal was the
representative. The only resemblance be-
tween the old paper and the new one, judging
from the advanced number, is In the solid
character Of the articles. 1t has new dress
even, for the matter is differently arranged.
I'm fact, it has more the appearance, both in the
matter and makeup of weekly review than
q newspaper. The managing editor is Mr..
Alexander Delmar, the well-known statistcian
and former head of the Bureau of Statistics
in Washington. The editor, or the principal
writer in the first number, is a man of un-
doubted talent and learning. We understand
this is Mr.. A. II. Louis, formerly editor and
proprietor of the London Spectator, gentle
man Of the finest scholarly attainments and Of
great experience as public writer. He is one
Of that liberal school Of young English jour
nalists and thinkers who look to the United
States as the future overshadowing power and
hope of the world. Under such auspices the
old National Iateligencer is to be resusci-
tated, changed aud removed to this city.

ANDY JonNsoN-STTLL A CHANCE FOR THE
NEXT CONGRESS. appears that there ia
still chance to secure Andy Johnson In the
next Congress. The late Greenvlle demo-
cratic nomination resulted in break up, and
in the nomination by part Of the Convention
after the break, of Mr.. James White. II
is now proposed to call the Convention
together again, and to try IL, with q
'long pull, strong pull, and a pull alto
gether," they can't nominate and elect
johnson for the Greenville district. lie is
willing to run upon such a nomination, to re-
deem the district from the somewhat notorious
Tennessee Butler. 1t is to DO hoped that all
the elements opposed to Butler will rally upon
Johnson, and carry him in for such q man is
badly wanted to stir up the radicals Of Con-
gress and to keep them in wholesome state
Of excitement.

Report Of the Yellow Fever Cemusissee.
The committee on yellow fever appointed by
the Board Of Health, consisting Of Drs. Nor
report not only alarming concerning the dis
ease on Governors Island, but they suggest q
very stringent, and, we think, very proper
remedy. 1t appears, upon careful medical in
vestigation, that every quarter Of Governors
Island is infected with pestilence, which
means that hotbed of contagious disease is
lying right in our midst, between the two cities
of New York and Brooklyn. This In q very
unpleasant thought for our million and half
of people. But what remedy do the doctors
propose? Nothing less than the depopulation
of the island, the absolute removal Of all par
ties infected or not infected, except the few
soldiers who may be necessary TO protect the
property Of the government
They suggest that in thus eyacuating the
post all the clothing and bedding shall be left
behind and disinfected by steam heat and that
certain buildings where the disease has been
found in its most viruent form shall be torn
down and burned. We may conclude that
Governors Island is in very dangerous con-
dition when these medical gentlemen recon-
mend such extreme measures TO prevent the
spread of infection. The sooner their views
are carried out the better. II would be no
great loss, either, to the city or government II
Governors Island were sunk in the bay. As
o work of defence to the harbor it is WORTH
less and as garrison post it is almost un-
nocaacarv
