Let us tell the workingmen frankly and
kindly, that their great enemy is not capital
When we speak of monopolies we first think
of our vast railway system. These corpora
tions govern much of our legislation, and di-
rect no small part of the business Of the
globe. Our agriculture, manufa ctures, trade,
and even ocean navigation, are largely con-
trolled by our railways. Our country now
has over 5000 miles of railroads. and increas-
ing at the rate of 5000 year. The gross re-
| ceipts OF these roads for the current year is
| estimated at $500, ,000,Oo0-fve hundred mil
lions of dollars. This is an immense sum,
and its influence over labor and over all the
interests OF society can hardly be estimated.
And yet it is one hundred millions of dollars
(S1OO,OO0,000) less than our yearly liq-
uor bills by, official figures, according to
very moderate estimate. Assuming
that workingmen drink none of the wines
aud brandies, native or imported (costing
$110,000,O00 year,, they pay for large part
of the whisky $500, 100000 year and the
beer (S130O00,000 year, Not less than
| four hundred millions of dollars 90 every year
| from the pockets of our woTkingmen into the
| liquor shops with which our towns and viii
! lagos abound. Our "Labor Reform" fliends
made grand mistake in not recognizing this
| terrible fact in their platform, and in not
making war upon the liquor drinking system
| The evils of "the wages system are as norh-
| ing to this. Look at it. Here the gross earn

Contagious Diseases Raging Abroad-Ad-
vice to Our Health Authorities.

A despatch comes from London stating that
advices from Buenos Ayres Of April IL bring
the appalling intelligence of yellow fey5r
raging there in fearful manner. The deaths
had increased to seven hundred day. The
population of the city Of Buenos Ayres is
about a hundred and Twenty thousand, end
seven hundred deaths deaths Gay from this dreadful
plague would be nearly equal to mortality of
eight thousand q day in New York. We can
imagine, then, what fearful ravagcs 1t is max
ing We call upon the health authorities of
New York to notice this fact We have
good deal of trade with Buenos Ayres, and I'M
less great care be taken this frightful disease
may be brought here in some OF the vessels
trading between the two ports. We narrowly
escaped the yellow fever scourge last summer.
Had 1t not been for the vigilance and determi-
nation of Dr.. Carnochan, the Health Officer Of
the port, there is no telling what disasters
might have befalen this city. He had to fight
then against selfish shipowners, shipmasters
and merchants, who endeavored to evade the
quarantine laws, as we'll as against the hostility
of personal and political enemies; but he car
ried his point and saved the city from yellow
fever. The public must rely upon him again
In the present danger, and, as the summer sea-
son comes on, for protection, and no doubt he
will do his duty. But the Health Board,
Quarantine Commissioners and every official
connected will, this matter must give DIR. Car
nochan all the aid they can to preserve the
health of New York.

avoided, looking to the inevitable excitements
OF the coming Presidential campaign? 1t may
be avoided by extreme caution and wise discre-
ton on the part Of General Grant; by a local
enforcement Of law, order and the rights Of all
citizens in the South, and by union OF the
Northern and Southern democracy upon Gen.
eral Sherman as their Presidential candidate.
They want just such man as the representa-
tive of their future policy in both sections.
They want man whose name of itself, in the
North and the South, will dispel the cloud of
suspicion and dis.rust which hangs over the
democratic party touching the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments, and General Sherman
is this man. 1t is manifestly the policy and
purpose Of General Grant to compel the de-
democracy to face the music upon these
amendments. They can do it TO the
complete satisfaction OF the country in
the nomination of General Sherman for
the next Presidency. His name, as the can
didate of the Southern whites, viii enable
them to gain large achievements from the
Southern blacks. With Mr.. Sherman" as
they called him in Georgia on his ''march to
the sea, the blacks will feel secure in their
civil and political rights, ard the distrustful
antagonism between them aud their late mas
ters will cease, and political harmony between
the two races will follow.
In The present aspects Of the political
divisions between the two races South we
have something of the symptoms of that ter
rible conflict between the old Bourbon aris-
tocracy and the masses of the French people
which eliminated in the Reign of Terror; and
in contemplating white patty and a black
party in the South we cannot forget that
fearful war Of races which in st. Domingo
resulted in the bloody determination of the
weaker party. We rely much upon General
Grants discretion in the enforcement Of this
Ku Klux Diil but we can think of no better
or surer device for peace and harmony between
the whites and blacks in the South in our
coming Presidential contest than the nomina-
ton by the democracy of General Sherman as
their candidate. We think, in this view, that
Governor Hoffman will agree to give way to
Sherman; and what say the sachems OF Tam
many Hall?

DIR. LIVINGSTONE ALIVE BUT DESTITUTE
We published on Thursday telegram from
Bombay stating that according to the latest
advices DR.. Livingstone was at Zanzibar, alive
and well, but in destitute condition. This
announcement sounds rather odd, as money
and luxuries are things unknown in the wilds
Of Africa, and any one living among those be-
nghted beings can hardly be supposed to pos
sess anything beyond the most indispensable
necessaries of life. Be it, however, as it may,
we are glad to hear the news that DR.. Living
}tone is alive confirmed by the authoritative
)tatemcnt of Earl Clarendon, in the House OF
lords, and hope to hear that the British gov
trnmcnt has sent aid and the necessary means
bf transportation to The great African explorer.

The Recent Speech of Senator schurz

The Recent Speech OF Senator Schurz.
We publish this morning the speech de-
lvered by Senator Schurz. of Missouri, at st.
Louis, on the 1st inst. Mr.. Schurz holds
peculiar position in our politics. Although
member of the republican party, he has re-
fused to acquiescc in its most important
measures, and at the same time he has not
gone over to the democrats. Were he simply
an insubordinate republican his views would
be worth little. Dixon, Doolittle and score
of others who supported President Johnson's
policy were quietly brushed aside and ignored.
But it 50 happens that the radicals cannot
easily strike the blow that is to send
Senator Schurz to his political grave.
He has large following; his influence
and should he come out squarely in favor
of the democracy he is likely to carry to their
support so large q proportion of the German
votes that radical ascendance in Illinois, Ohio
and other Western States would soon become
thing of the past. Hence his public utter
anccs are of decided Importance. In his ST.
Louis speech he speaks throughout as a men,
Der of the republican party, but he does not
utter one word in approval Of the course pur-
sued by Congress. H. desires peace and con-
cord between the two great sections of the
Union, and he believes that this is attainable
only through universal amnesty. lie is OPP
posed to such measures as the Ku Klux bill
because they disregard those constitutional
limitations which are the safeguards Of our
rights and liberties, and pave the way for ire
sponsible personal government. To quote
from his own language, Senator Schurz's
political programme is as folows;-"Firm and
uncompromising maintenance of equal rights
as guaranteed by the constitution as it is;
amnesty and policy calculated to restore
fraternal feeling; strict fidelity to the essen
tial principles Of constitutional government;
reform of the civil service; revenue reform
and reduction of taxes" On this platform
Senator Schurz stands and it is the platform
of patriot.

Gloomy Prospects for Peace i'm France.

| Gloomy Prospects for Peace in France.
| Our dispatches from the scat of war in
France do not indicate speedy re- establish
ment Of peace in that distracted country.
| The resistance Of the Communists is terribly
stubborn and the government continues
unyielding. Fight after fight occurs, hun
dreds are daily added to The list of killed and
wounded, towns and villages are destroyed
and yet the end appears no nearer than it did
a month ago. What is to be the result of all
this war and bloodshed? we are at loss
for an answer. We can see no openin?
whereby order is to be restored from the con-
dition o. anarchy that now exists. Poor
France! the ordeal through which she is now
passing may tend to better matters when
peace and its attendant blessings come again,
and we hope that such may be the case; but
we have our doubts, for she has signally
failed to profit by the numerous lessons
Of like nature that she has received
at other periods. Marshal MacMahon is un-
doubtedly using every effort to reduce the po-
sltions Of the insurgents that now form a bar
ricr to his entrance to the city This has first
to be accomplished, and it is proving difficult
piece of work. We think il clearly indicated
now that his movemement with an entire corps
of his army against the western e1aceiHte was
made in expectation OF rising within the city
of the friends Of the government, which was
promised at q certain time, but which failed.
Had it been attempted, his large force was to
hau ~ eli MI
effort would have been made to gain possess
sion of Paris by means of the assistance from
the inside. President Theirs has said that an at
tempt viii be made to effects compromise. and
il it fails the city win then be carried by assault
II this is the case one party or the other will
have to reccdc from the determined stand
they have heretofore taken. Either the Com
Iaune or the government will have to make
concessions. We scarcely believe the former
will, desperate as its condition apparently ia
and we doubt the expediency Of NJ. Theirs
giving in TO any IF the demands Of the Reds.
France would not profit by the latter course,
for if adopted the red republicans would be
led to believe themselves the power Of the
land, and able to dictate any terms in the
future that their leaders might suggest. We
think that granting any conditions other than
unconditional Surrender would only lead to
temporary peace, and be without any perrna-
nent benefit to France. In common with oil
others we can only hope for speedy conclu-
sion Of the present frightful civil war; but we
do not wish to see it ended except on such
terms as will secure peace in the future, and
with ample guarantees that order and quiet
will for long time take the place Of anarchy
and bloodshed

A RELIC of the war with Tripoi has recently
come to light. An officer of the war steamer
Guerrero, at Tripoli, Africa, states that on the
9th Of April last the crew of that steamer
raised the anchor OF the frigate Philadelphia,

harbor of Tripoli ever since Decatur burned

The Putnam Murder-PabIlc Sentiment on
the Case.


the Case.
1t will be seen from the batch of communi-
cations which we publish elsewhere this morn
ing, that public sentiment is still very greatly
excited regarding the murder on the street
car. In case which so directly affects the
interests Of every respectable man in the
communicated the victim, instead Of Mr..
Putnam, could have been any one among us
without straining the circumstances or the
probabilites-itis reasonable that there should
be violent excitement and violent suggestions
offered by the people, who find themselves
daily and nightly in imminent risk of just
such outrages and insults as Mr. Putnam and
the ladies accompanying him received Many
of our correspondents suggest the vigilance
committee; others make very valuable sug-
ges tons concerning new regulations on the
street cars; others condemn the police and still
others doubt the just decision of our judges.
Vigilance committees are the unhealthy pro-
ducts of wild and barbarous countries, and
would never serve their purpose, which, how
ever good, is at best badly served, in city
of such wealth and civilization as New York.
Besides, we do not need their aid. We have
judges and prosecuting law officers sufficient
to bring the peoples case to successful issue
against all the legal bubbles and technicalities
that may be drummed up by the defence. If
Foster is really guilty we feel pretty sure he
Will be convicted If he is not no one wishes
to have him convicted. But it is an old
axiom of iaw-not the soundest in the world,
we believe-that jury must have no opinion
upon the subject brought before them, and the
consequence is that conscientious men who
are informed upon the particulars of this case
and who consequently must have formed an
opinion or shown themselves unusually dull,
are debarred from serving upon the jury. A
panel OF five hundred jurors is directed for
Thursday next, and among this number there
will be found very few who have not already
formed some opinion on the merits Of the
case.
Therefore, while public sentiment plainly
indicates what is demanded for its own safety
in this matter, the course Of the law, naturally
that Of meandering stream, which follows
the sinuosties formed by technicalities and
bubbles, does not debouch always at the
point that public sentiment, with airline
directness, has reached from the first. The
law must take itss course. aud PUBLIC sentiment,
ever SO loudl y expressed, cannot turn it out
Of its tortuous channel. The people there
fore must be patient Give even to the crimi-
nal the privileges guaranteed him in the
statutes, and for the rest depend upon the
wisdom and acumen of our public officers, both
judiciary and police, for protection. =

MEMBERS or CONGRESS are by no means all
ill-savored as has been represented. Work
men engaged in repairing the Capitol at Wash
ington say the bad doors usually prevailing in
that building were produced by the accumu-
laton Of tobacco guilds in the registers. Con-
gressmen throw filth enough at each other to
contaminate the atmosphere Of the whole
country; but even those highly favored per-
formances were not accountable for the sitting,
health poisoning smells which pervaded the
national Capitol while Congress was 10 session.
