neecber on Legisuntive bribery.

In sermon the other evening by
Henry Ward Beecher, after reviewing the
nature Of sin and its influences upon
mankind, he proceeded to say that the
people sent men mbued with crime to
represent them in the legislatures-men
who could be bought for money. They
lamented these things, but made no effort
to ameliorate them 1t was the same in
New York, in Pennsylvania, in New Jer-
sey, and in other States. One danger
was the money, and the greatest danger
was caused by large corporations, with
their boarded money, who went up and
bought the means TO enable them TO ef-
feet their desires. Money would ac-
complsh anything nowadays. These
ruffians could be bought with money or
ambition, and if they were not able to
crafty their desires, the State was taxed
for its own damnation. 1t was this pros
titution Of sense of right and justice
that they would have TO answerfor. Here
criminals, whose hands are stepped in
blood, were allowed TO walk the earth in
a few months free, and ready again to
deal death; and all this was accomplished
Dy the men whom they permitted to reign
over them.

DeCted i'm Washington.

New YORK, March 8.-Gen. Que
sado has written for Cuba Junta, a
report of the operations of the Cuban
army, during the opening scenes of
the war. He claims that the Govern
menis of the United States and Great
Britain, are ignorant of what has hap
pened in Cuba, in consequence o. the
facility with which the Spaniards can
disseminate false news. The General
is expected in Washington to-day,
and it is believed that he will wait on
the Secretary of State, and present
his credentials as Cuban Ambassador
There is much excitement among the
Cubans here in Washington, on the
subject, as a number of influential
members of Congress are reported tc
favor Quesado's professions.

their legitimate level, would realize
that they had mistaken their calling,
and partake themselves to pursuits
more within reach Of their limited ca

TO make a mechanic, something
more than a stated period Of appren-

ton and liking for the trade he has

law, dictating the term Of service TO
any trade would be quite as absurd as
an enactment compelling equal prof.
cheney 10 each and every case.
1t Is In the interest Of employers to
treat their men fairly, which they will
generally do: but when every good
workman lugs into the shop a back
load of bunglers, and insists upon
their being employed at the same
price as himself, just because they
have their prentice papers in their
| pockets, the master will probably at
tempt to strike an average; which at
tempt-according to your correspond
ent's own showing-Would more than
likely succeed.
Over twenty years service and 0b-
servation In the machinists trade In
the United States, Canada and Great
Britain, have led me to the following
conclusions:
1st. That no one should enter the
trade without fair education, espe-
cially mathematics and philosophy,
aud an unmistakable aptitude, and an
almost irresistible liking for it.
I'd. Those workmen get on best who
have an eye to their masters interests
and go straight on, leaving side issues
alone.
Sd. That unions" offer no incent-
| i've to more than average achieve
ments, and, so far from benefting, re
ally good men, cost moro than they
come to-" And
4th. That combinations on one side,
and labor unions on the other side,
are kindred blunders, to be set right
by more enlightened understanding
of the great fact that capital and labor
are In the same boat, aud must pull
together, with capital as the stroke
oar.
