grnatons IN foreign countries and their status gen.
orally.
After the expiration OF the morning hour Mr..
Hoar, from the Committee on Education and
Labor, called up q bill providing for q
commission Of three persons to examine the
subject OF the hours Of labor and the DIVISIONS OF
the profits on labor, and asked to have day ap-
pointed for Its special consideration This question
proved to be Of interest by the futter It's mentnn
occasloned. The objects OF the bill being TO pro.
vide only tor investigation upon the questions in
volved in labor. the causes OF dscontenr among
the workingmen, and to discover, II possible. the
remedy, opposition to 1t was not looked
for from any quarter. and surprise was
manifested at the promptness with which Mr.. Kerr,
OF Indiana moved to lay the bill on the table. The
motion being lost Mr.. Hoar proceed to address the
House upon the merits OF the measure, ana soon he
aroused interest and held attention. which In
creased as he proceeded. The failure to give this
subject light in the Old World, he SAID, had created
the International an organization which Is making
its voice heard and Its power felt throughout
the civilized world, Mr.. Dawes regretted the action
OF the other side In refusing 70 give attention to this
overshadowing question, and appealed TO Messrs.
Wood and Kerr to Withdraw their opposition to the
consideration Of the bill. Mr. Kerr replied that lie
hoped the gentleman from Massachusetts, would
give that side OF the House On opportunity to be
heard upon the bill, that they might prove
the falsity OF the cnarge made that they
were opposed 10 IL. Mr.. Hoar replied that they had
shown no desire TO be heard but on the contrary
moved TO dispose Of the question. With discussion
Mr.. Kerr grew restive IN the position In which he
found himself, and Mr.. Hoar proceeded with the
consideration Of IL, yielding this time to different
members who wished TO speak upon the bill. Lew
Campbell made point Of order involving. he said,
the practice which had grown up among members,
without sanction Of law, OF farming out the
time belonging to them among those they wished
to have speak. The Speaker e1ectually disposed
Of that point by having the rule upon the subjecs
read. Mr.. Kelley Of pennsylvania, spoke warmly In
favor Of full and free investigation OF the subject
involved in wages and labor. He declared the
same causes we're In operation here that hao
pauperised Great Britain. In our great
cities are to be seen already the same re-
SUITS and inquiry may reveal the causes
and suggest . remedy. After spirited

WEDNESDAY. SEPT. q. 1871.

The great meeting held in New York to de-
pounce the brazen robbers who control that city,
was successful so far as words and numbers go.
IL was very large, and nothing would now be
left of the ring buccaneers, if earnest ex.
pressious of Indignation could annhilate them.
The men charged with robbery do not pretend
TO deny what is alleged and proved against
them; and no one appears TO doubt that the
charges are true. In fact, it is believed that a
great deal more is true than has yet been
brought to light But the men accused care
very little for what may be said, provided no
persistent and effective measures are taken to
bring them to grief If the people of New York
aud the reef they profess to seek, they will
find it by means of such united action against
the robbers and all who sustain them, as will
place the government of the city in different
hands.
The men who took from the city Si2, 900, 900
to build court house which costs only frac-
ten of this sum, and deal generally by the city
finances in the same way, do other things no
less rascally. They contrive election frauds,
employ 'repeaiers' TO fill The ballot boxes in their
favor, and ssrupe at nothing TO keep them
selves in power. They make judges of men who
ought to be in the state prison, and aim steadily
TO promote yenality and corruption, in order
that thsir own position may be secure. If
they can destroy all honesty, and make every
body corrupt, there will be no honest people
left to accuse them. If the political ways of
New York city can not be revolutonzed and
reconstructed, there can not be much hope of
change for the better. The infamous Swindlers
will keep their places, continue their operations,
and, every day, repeat their insoleRt defiance

The LoDoNA DISASTER Lewis Wolf. mess
boy on the steamer Lodoua, wrecked on the
Florida coast, Aug. II, states that: The YES
sci, during heavy gale on the 17th, struck
reef about half-past seven in the morning, and
shifted over on her beam ends. Capt. Hovcy
was in the pilot house at the time she shifted.
and fell out and stumbled while trying to catch
hold of the main rigging, when sea broke over
the ship and washed him off, and carried away
the pilot house, and the captain was not seen
any more. Some of the crew got into a boat
and when about thirty yards off the ship Lo-
dona turned over and capsiZed. There were
fourteen OF the crew in the main rigging. The
man mast gave away and the sea broke it off.
All fourteen, except the captains son, fifteen
years OF age, and the cook, Frank were washed

they could in the sea, which was mountains
high. Stevens, the first mate gotInto the only
other boat, which was a life-boat and a heavy

Of the crew, the chief engineer, first assistant
engineer, five sailors, myself and fireman,
worked our way out forward to the gallant fore
castle. The wreck was washed ashore gradual
ly, and we remained on her until two hours
after the main mast came down, when we
found ourselves on the breakers three or four
hundred yards from the land.
The chief engineer andl fireman swan ashore,
the first and second mate followed, and the re-
naming members of the crew, with the excep-
ton Of myself, the first assistant engineer and a
sailor, who remained on the wreck until Satur-
day. A sailor made raft, as none of MS could
swim who remained on the wreck. The first
assistant engineer took the raft and got ashore,
though he was washed over several times by the
breakers. The sailor and myself made it, |
broke the bulwarks out of her to make it, and
went ashore with the sailor. By this time the
chief engineer, the captain son, second mate
and the cook had gone down TO a lighthouse,
six miles distant, and the keeper told the party
TO walk twenty-eieht miles up the beach, 70 the
first custom house station. While living two
days on the vessel, we had nothing tie eat but
onions and raw potatoes and raw Goldfish. The
onions made us very thirsty, as we could not
get any water. We stopped on the beach that
night, and the next morning we started and
walked twenty-elght miles, and was TWO days

The letter of Colonel Tufts, visiting agent of
Inc beard of state charities, which we publish
this morning. is complete answer to the asper-
sions of that agency by General Butler, in his
recent speeches. The work of the agency is in
the highest degree beneficent and necessary if
the state would discharge its duty to the children
who have become its wards, chiefly through de
fects in their early training. 1t is quiet and I'M
obstrusive, but so is much Of the best work that
is done in the world. The nature and importance
of it, and the wisdom of the laws which pro-
vide for such an agency, will be understood from
Colonel Tnfts' statement. Those who know him
persdAally, or are at all familiar with his zeal
Gus and conscientious work for the wounded or
suffering soldiers of Massachusetts at Wash
ington during the war, will not doubt that he
performs his present duties with faithful regard
for the welfare of the states wards and for the
interests of th1 commonwealth.
