owners and inmates, should be registered. ana
prevented by medical scrutiny from poisoning
the life of generations to come.
On these points there are legion of half
souled hypocrites and well-meaning religious
folk who think, with the bitter charity of vir-
tue, that law should not degrade itself to
handle this vice, and that those who suffer by
tb-'.,- sin should be left to the fatal conse-
quences. There are churches and Bibles
enough in the land, tnc,v say, to have warned
them of all this; let them sunei. This cold,
unfeeling virtue suddenly wakes up son.,e
morning to find the root of the evil by their
fireside, and they, too, call loudly for proven
ton thereafter. Another class there is who
cry out that such measures as you propose are
the offshoots Of centralized despotism. You
cannot introduce such domiciliary police
system into free America Under similar cir
cumstances to the religious DIRECTORS the indi-
viduals Of this class are also susceptible of
rapid conversion.
In reply to both we say that no means should
be left unadopted which will limit an inerad-
icable evil. If the churches do not exhaust
all the preventives the law must take
up its stern role and begin where
the milder influences of Christianity
end. When American freedom is urged
as a reason for tolerating the worst forms of
vice, we see an illogical stand taken as ridicu-
lous as it Is preposterous. We propose TO
medding with the rights of the citizen; but no
citizen will put forward as his right the pois-
oning and destroying of society in its vitals.
The adoption of what we propose will interfere |
with no honest man or woman II will simply |
draw broad social line between virtue and |
vice, over which it will be impossible to tread |
unknowingly.
When this question is taken up in our Legis-
lature we do not want it to result in piece
meal grasping of the subject, by some one
Ignorant of social philosophy, and with an eye
to effect. 1t should be broad in its details, and |
as perfect in system as present knowledge of ,
other systems can make 1t; but, above all it
must be universal in its application to all
classes of these social pests, gilded or squalid,

THE BoURBoNs MOVING AaAN.--A tele-
gram published yesterday announces that the
Count de Paris is preparing manifesto in
which he will announce himself in favor of the
programme of the Count de Chambord In
this publication 1t Is claimed that he will
renounce his claim to the throne Of France in
favor Of the elder branch of the Bourbons-
the Count de Chambord. This measure, the
despatch says, is not at all paatable to the
Duke d'Aumale, who would regard the move
mcnt as reactionary on the part of his nephew.
That there are differences in the Bourbon
camp we know, and the suggested action Of
the Count de Paris Is not at oil improbable,
Judging from the recent remarks which the
Duke d'Aumae is reported to have made to a
Deputy of the National Assembly. 81 could

The Labor Question in England.

The Newcastle engineers are making
reduction Of the hours of labor. Previous to
going on strike they worked ten hours day.
These hours they considered too long; but
their demand for less time-nine hours
day-was met by firm refusal on the part of
the employers. The workmen stuck to their
demand, aud the employers were equally per-
sistent in their refusal. A strike was the con-
sequence, and though weeks have passed
since the beginning of the differences he
tween masters and men there is at present no
disposition on the part of either party to give
in. Nine hours day for zen hours pay or
nothing is the cry Of the men, and this
the employers declare they will not
grant, and moreover insist that they
can import workmen Com Belgium,
Germany and France, who will not only
accept, but who will be glad to work the hours
and for the wages which the strikers formerly
received. In this view of the case tho
employers may discover that they are mis-
taken. The influence Of the international
Association of Workmen comes into play here,
aud it has shown its hand by the return to
their homes already Of the foreign workmen
whose arrival at Gateshead and Newcastle we
chronicled scarce week back. In this fight
between the engineers of Newcastle and their
employers for reduction of time the former
possess the sympathy of the whole working
classes of England. The English press, more
over--a portion of it, at least--sympathize in
q manner with them also. 1t will be remem-
bered by the readers Of the HERALD that, on
the occasion of the caulkers and ship carpen-
ters strike for eight hours, some five or six
years ago in this city, all the Trades Unions of
the country contributed from their treasures
workmen maintained their position for over
three months. When eventually they were
forced TO yield they discovered that trade had
flown from the shipyards here to other cities
aud there was no work for them to do. Thus
employers as well as workmen suffered. May
not a similar case occur in Newcastle9 In
England, where workmen are closely drawn
within the bounds of their societies, and where
every trade possesses its Union, the funds
which can be placed at the disposal Of the
Newcastle workingmen now on strike would
reach very high figure. The movement for
o reduction of hours is not local question; 1t
is one in which the great bulk of the working
classes are interested. A gain on the part OF
the Newcastle engineers would be victory fol
the whole labor movement, not only in Eng
land but here in this country also. In this
light the workingmen view it, and laboring
under this idea the working classes generally
will aid the strikers to secure the full fruits OF
the victory to which they confidently look.
