Our correspondence from Cologne, which
we publish on another page this morning,
shows pretty conclusively that there is deep
and settled discomfort among the workingmen
of Germany. Initiating the policy followed
out by their brethren in England, they are
determined to have less hours for work, moro
pay for their labor and better reatment gen.
orally from their employers. In many re-
spects the similarity between the course
pursued BY the German workmen and the line
OF conduct adopted by the British mechanics
is evident; and it is not unlikely that the mys-
terious influence of the International exerts
itself In the matter. The time chosen, a.
shown by our correspondent Is favorable to
the strikers. The managers Of the Rhenish
Railroad have, however, refused TO grant
their workmen the concessions they
demand believing that they can
Gll their places with other hands
When it is recollected that the laborers
at other points are also Influenced by the same
considerations as those on strike, and only
await their own time to do likew wise, IL will
be seen how easily the employers may mis-
calculate in the matter Of the procurement oi
labor The North of England ironmasters
believed, like the German railroad managers,
that they could supply the places OF the men
who ''went on! on strike" After nearly
four months Of endeavor they discovered
their mistake, and came to terms with the
very hands with whom they disagreed. II 10
not alone in Cologne workshops that the men
are dissatisfied. The feeling appears to be
very general. AT Erlurt, Caemnitz, Mayence
and Dresden trade difficulties prevail. AT
Chemniiz about eight thousand ironfounders
are on strike. The Central Committee OF this
large body of men has issued an address
to The people which savors strongly OF REQ
republicanism. ''Hurrah for social democ-
racy!" is one of the closing sentences OF tn's
appeal. These are angry signs and nnpieas-
ant indications, and they exhibit spiris
among the German workingmen not aiso
gesher peaceful or orderly.

CoSuNpRuM Poa CONTRACTORS. --The Phila-
delphia Ago has received no answer TO its
question, why seventy-ive cents per square
yard is given for digging the foundations Of
public buildings in that city when the same
work was done for the Masonic Hall for
thirty FIVE cents per yard? The same ques-
tion might be pnt with great propriety to the
contractors for digging the foundation Of the
proposed new Court House 10 Harlem.

HYDE PAEK, near Scranton, Pa, was the
scene of a remarkable occurrence yesterday.
A portion OF the town, extending along tae

Office. caved in, sinking about a foot. Num-
hers of houses in the same neighborhood are
rent aud cracked from top to bottom with the
upexpected lowering of their foundations, ana

Mr. TWEED yesterday replied TO the COM
plant brought against him by Mr.. OConor by
demurrer, on the ground that Mr.. O'Conor
has no legal capacity TO bring the action that
facts sufficient are not stated to constitute a
cause Of action, and that the Mayor, Com
monalty and Board Of Supervisors are not in
cludcd in the defence. The action will come
on at an early day in Albany.

The CHICAGO GRAND JURY-far more SEN
sible than Governor Palmer-has discovered
that General Sheridan did not kill Colonel
Grosvenor during the unsettled days just sue
ceeding the fire. They see no reason for in
dieting him, notwithstanding the strange
recommendation Of the Governor. Indeed,
they feel doubtless as the rest Of Chicago
patton, that Sheridan was exceedingly handy
to have about the city during those days Of
panic.

THE BANK or ENGLAND reduced the rate OF
discount TO four per cent yesterday but gold,
which opened at Ill, advanced to llla much
to the astonishment Of the spectators in the
Gold Room, who looked for reverse move
ment. There is an old saw in Wall street
which says, "Buy on bad news and sell on
good news !" but il evidently has no reference
to gold, whatever IL may have TO stocks.
The New York herald., 1871-11-17

one is benefited. Set the gold aHoat, reduce
the revenue aud take OF taxation a hun
dred millions to Q hundred and fifty
millions year, and the eleven per cent pre-
MUM on gold would soon vanish. If the
government would do this and declare the
greenback currency at par with gold we
should reach specie basis for our circulation.
1t is the burden of taxation that checks
industry, prevents production and withholds
our products from foreign markets. Remove
this, and both our internal and foreign COM
merce would be stimulated With that and
simple system of raising revenue from few
articles of luxury chiefly thousands of govern
ment employees might be discharged and mil
lions year saved in salaries alone. A great
source Of corruption and demoralizing extra
vagance would be removed and the nation
would profit every way. Is the administration
prepared to Recommend this policy of fiuan-
cial reform? Will tho President and Secretary
of the Treasury advise Congress to cut the
revenue dowo to two hundred and fifty mill
lions year9 And will Congress give up its
piundering schemes, the tempting fund OF
corruption held in the Treasury, and afford
the relief the country needs ? That is the
great question of the time and overshadows
all those of a mere political character.

THE NEWARK Journal is out hot and heavy
for Joel Parker as the democratic candidate
Tor the Presidency. 1t says che can beat the

PATRONAGE OF THE New GOVERNOR OF New
JERsEY.-Governor Parker, Of New Jersey,
on taking his seat, will have the appointment
of Chancellor, Clerk of the Supreme Court,
four Judges Of the Supreme Court, three
Judges of the Court of Errors, besides num-
Der Of county prosecutors. Most Of these
Offices are now filled by republicans, and, no
doubt, the Governor could nominate all demo-
Gratis in their places; but the trouble is, re-
publican Senate bas to act upon the nomina-
lions. Hence it is presumed he will propose
a judicious compromise and thus save the
State from unnecessary delay in the regular
formation OF its judiciary.

Is NEW YORK CTY CAPABLE OF SELF-Gov-
ERNMKNT?-The Philadelphia Press (republi-
can) expresses the opinion that what New
York city and all other large municipalities
require to preserve their purity is simple
republic in VIII ich the people shall choose
their own rulers and make their own laws-a
system which must, Of course, be backed by a
''healthy public sentiment. The question
here arises, how is that public sentiment to be
created, and how is it to be directed to proper
uses? That New York city is capable Of self
government evidence is afforded by the over
whelmiug rout of thscorruptionists on the 7th
instant; but there is no means of judging how
soon reaction may occur and the city be
again placed in the hands of a mob and ruled
by ring of unscrupulous politicians. And
after all the people may have turned out one
set Of bad ralers only to give place TO worse
one. Time will determine.

The News from tho Far East-Trade an
Travel 70 tho Western Republic.

Tde news from tho Ear EaSt-Trado ana
Travel 70 tho Western Republic.
The steamship Japan landed at San Fran
cisco on Wednesday, bringing the China and
japan mails, number of passengers and an
exceedingly heavy freight Of valuable mer-
chandise. The cargo is consigned for distri-
button in the United States, Mexico and
Europe. In this connection we must again
coll attention to the wonderful revolution
which has been accomplished ia the routes
both of personal travel and for the transit of
goods from the far East since the opening of
the Pacific Railroad change which will be-
come more marked and distinct in its COM
mercial consequences each succeeding year,
until the peoples of the Old World will be
forced by very necessity to turn both their
eyes and ears to the shores of the great re-
public of the West when they wish to hear
of friends or trade profits from the empires Of
the East.
The news by the Japan, which we have
telegraphed from San Francisco, is of an
interesting character, but of sad import
in some of its points. The Mikado OF Japan
has freed himself from the personal exclusive
ness which has been attached to his sovereign
position for many, many ages, and appears
just now in pablo almost as freely as the
Prince of Wales or the Grand Duke Alexis.
His Majesty will come TO like it by and by, and
then, perhaps, he will take trip to New
York, so that he may enjoy himself still more
pleasantly, and ''read up" about Buddhism and
Confucius in the Bible House. Three hun
dred lives were lost by typhoon in one part
of China and one thousand persons drowned
by river floods in the province of New Chang.
Twenty thousand square miles of territory
were submerged. The religious fanatical
excitement troubles had ended in the south of
China. United States Consul General Seward
was at Shanghae from the North. Teas and
silk were higher in price. The work of culti-
vating cotton in China was more hopeful.
The captain Of the forecastle of the United
States ship Colorado was killed by fall when
the vessel was in dock at Yokohama. The
new Governor of Yokohama delivered very
progressive speech before the foreign consuls
in that city. So that, taking our news budget
as whole, we imagine that we can perceive
in its contents the sparkle of scintillation Of
that civilzing light which will yet illumine the
vast and hoary lands of China and japan.

The Georgia legislature is considering bill
which makes il a penal offence, punishable by
fDe or imprisonment, or both, for laborer TO
leave his employer before the expiration Of the
time for which he has contracted to work. 1t is
not proposed 10 fine or iipprison the employer he
fails to pay his employee according to the terms
of his sgreeme or otherwise disregards his
part Of the contract. Here is a legislative body,
which can seriously discuss a measure which
would reduce workingmen to the condition OF
serfs, and yet they wonder why laborers 90 west,
and pass by the mild climate and fertile soil of
the south. IL Georgisns want TO induce working
people TO emigrate to their state, they must first
get rid OF these old notions about the degradation
of labor and laborers. II either party TO a con-
tract violates il, let the civil courts have jurs-
diction over it. Legislation like that proposed
might have been tolerated twenty years ago;
AZ will not do now.
