work ard more pay are the ends aimed at, and
for the present they are often obtsined. That
the strikers are co far victorious shows that in

great demand for labor there could be no CON-
pliance with the demands Of laborers. But
times will huctuste, and changes come upon the
best prospects, One thing is certain, and that
is, thst if there is to be permanent increase in
the rates Of wages, and a Ike decrease in the
hours Of labor, there muEt be corresponding
increase in rents. and in the prices Of food. fuel,

and everything ese that is both bought and sold,

value Of labor without changing the value Of

The New YoBK USDERGRoUSD RAILROAD
Engineer Buckhout Of the Underground Rail
vsy has Just made an investigation of the new
Post Office st New York, and discovered that
rails can be laid so as to connect on the zane
grade and level with the underground read and
the basement of the building, by 8 tunnel under
the street. which fronts the northerly face OF the
new Office. The work on the Underground Rail-
road was commenced LAST week, and it has been
determined that the depot Of the new road shall
be connected SO that the mail cars will be switched
Immediately into the Post Office basement and
returned by another track. Tbir will enable
mails from New England, and all mails conveyed
over the Hudson River sad New York Central
Railroads to be delivered Immediately without
delay of horse transportation and the cOn,e-
ouent handling. 1t is estimated that this ar
rangement will enable merchants to obtain their
letters from the East. West aid North an hour
earlier than Of present.

party, SAD viii remain there. We do not say
there are none such among the Liberal Rspub-
Eolns;" but they are very few and far between
anywhere. suG they DO rot include the lelderr
OF tue movement
What is 9isiiactire in that movement, ia a cor
rupt and shameless coalition with the democrats.
The hest journals connected with it declare
squarely that the nomination Of Mr.. Greeley wss
secured by a corrupt trick; and the same sb-
se1oe Of principles, falsity and fraud character
ize the whole movement and become more AppA-
rent every day. Ia Vermont Liberal Republi-
canism amounts to nothing There is not
enough os IT to call its adherenis party. They
are simply q c1rporsl's guard Of ousted Cfice-
holders, chronic grumblers, and desperate Office
seekers, who got no aid nor comfort except from
the democrats.
We find nothing in this address worth notice,
except the cool intimation that the Republican
National Convention, might have endorsed the
nominees Of the Cincinnati Convention Col.
