Labor and CAPITAL.

On the 18th inst VIM. Hoar,of Mas
sachuetts, of the Lower House in Con-
gress, "from the Committee on Educa-
tion and Labor. reported bill providing
for the appointment by the President,
with the advice and consent of the SEN
ate, of commission of three, to hold
office for two years, unless their duties
shall have been sooner accomplished,
who are to investigate the subject of the
wages and hours of labor and of the d.
vision of the joint profits of labor and
capital between the laborer and the eapi-
ta,ist, and the social educational, aud
sanitary condition of the laboring classes
of the United States, and how the same
are affected by the laws regulating com
merce. finance and currency. The com
missioners are to receive a salary Of
$4,000 each, may employ clerk, and
shall report the result of their investiga-
tion to the President, to be by him trans
mitted to Congress"
Thus it will be seen that the question
f"Capital and Labor" has been brought
up for the consideration of Congress -
Nowhere on the earth, and at no time in
the history of the people of the world,
has labor been SO we'll rewarded and hon
ored as here under the Republic. The
American people are laboring people.
There is not place in church or State in
this country that may not be occupied
by persons from the ranks of labor
The great distinguishing feature about
our system of government is, that it has
for its corner stone, honored labor The
millionaire Of to-day may be the laborer
of tomorrow. Change it, and the laborer
of to day may be the millionaire of to-
morrow. The laborer may become
capitalist, and capitalist may become a
laborer. With all this similarity there
is belief that labor and capital are not
in accord with each other as they should
be.
Mr.. Hoar's resolution has for it object
an investigation of these two great levers
of society, and. if possible, the sugges
ton of a platform on which labor and
capital can meet and better understand
each other. 1t is qualification to see
how credibly Mr.. Hoar was sustained by
the leading members of the Republican
party in Congress. 1t is a matter of
regret to see the Democrats in Congress
array themselves against the measure
The Republican party is the laborers
friend

TanmaDy in Prison and before the Court.
On last Friday the grand jury of N
Y, found true bills of criminal character
against Tweed and Connelly. chiefs Of
1ammapy. Tweeds prison for a time
was the Metropolitan Hotel. A despatch,
dated on the 18th. speaks Of his impris.
onment at the hotel, and Of his grand
drive TO the Court HSuse, and his re-
ception there:
/ His excellency, Hon. VIM. NJ. Tweed
passed quiet night at the Metropolitan
Hotel, where apartments were fitted up
in gorgeous style for Lis excellency,
without regard to cost. Every thing nec-
essary for his comfort and convenience
and even luxury was obtained.
At nine o'clock this morning mes
| senger arrived at the hotel with a writ
ten communication to Hon. VIM. M.
Tweed. asking at what hour it would be
convenient for his e1cellency to appear
at the court house. Mr.. Tweed named
the hour of eleven, and promptly at that
hour splendid barouche, drawn by four
white horses, appeared the private en-
trance of the hotel, and shortly after Mr..
Tweed appeared and entered and was
drawn swiftly away, amid the applaudits
of the multitude assembled to catch a
glance of his excellency. Mr.. Tweed
raised his hat kindly and bowed as the
swift coursers rapidly sped on their way
to their destination.
On arriving at the court house an i'm
mense throng was assembled, and as he
passed through the portale Of the court
every hat was raised and every head
was bent as his e1cellency, attended by
the sheriff and suit, passed. He was
greeted here by many friends of Tam
many, and perfect ovation took place.
The proceedings were looked upon with
a jealous eye by few friends of law
and order, but their sympathies were
quickly withdrawn under the warlike
array which was presented by the noble
Democracy assembled. At HAS the
judges appeared and the court was called
to order.
