New-York tribune., 1872-06-04

Among the foreign correspondence which
we publish this morning is an account of the
deplorable condition of the workingmen in
Vienna. Where the rents of this class have
increased at the rate of 300 per cent within
eighteen months without a proximate in
crease in wages, well-established
cause of apprehension would appear to exist.
Intimately connected with this phase of the
struggle of laboring men for subsistence are
the remarks of correspondent at London on
the question of cooperation. The details which
are given of the organization of the British
Army and Navy Society are interesting, and
will afford valuable suggestions for similar
schemes Of cooperation.

WASHINGTON,

THE NEW REGULATIONS INSTRUCTIONS TO
COLLECTOR ARTHUR.
WASHINGTON, Feb 26.--Seeretary Boutwell,
York, says: 81 laid your letter of the 23d inst
before the President and I am authorized to
say that he approves the main features of your
plan for the storage of general order goods at
the port Of New York. The change should be
made with as little delay as the nature of the
case will permit In the reorganization of the
general order business political influence and
personal interest should be set aside. Having
first made the rights of the government secure,
it is the Presidents wish that the work be so
arranged and conducted as to give the largest
facilities to merchants with the least possible
cost. The details of the organization must be
left to your judgement"
The Collectors letter proposes to divide the
water front OF the city into districts, making
four or more upon the North river and five up
on the East river and to designate one ware
house of class three in each district to which
all goods removed under the general from YES
els landing within the district shall be sent;
also to designate 26 or more similar warehouses
in Brooklyn and one at Hunters Point to per-
NIT the several steamships companies to select
any class. Three stores located in the district
in which their ships land as a warehouse for
the storage of unclaimed goods arriving by
their vessels, subject however, to the single
condition that neither the steamship company
nor any person connected with it shall have any
interest in it or control over the warehouse so
designated. The Collector says:
By this system, warehouses in all cases will
be provided within a short distance of the place
of landing goods. Expense or carriage will be
reduced-all danger of crowdihg and confusion
be avoided and the wishes of steamship COM
panies will be consulted so far as is consistent
with the interests of the government.

For the last twelve months have done so, and

Mr. EDIToR:-The good people of Portland
are anxiously waiting for response from the
President of the Portland & Ogdensburg Rail-
road to the question long since asked in the
columns of the PRESS. "What has become of
the eight hundred thousand First Mortgage
Bonds on that Road?" Have they. been sold?
and if So at what prices? Or have they been
pledged? and does the low price at which they
have been bought or pledged account for the
tremendous efforts now making in certain quart
ers to force the city into taking second mort
gage of two and a half millions, and thereby
compelling the city ultimately to lift and pay
the first mortgage, dollar for dollar, and thus
raise their bonds at once to par, not only reliev-
ing the bond-holders, (whoever they may be)
but making a ''big thing for them? The vo-
tiers and taxpayers of this city are curious
land think they have right to know into
whose hands they are playing, before voting.

they see pretty stable cat under the meal
Come out from your hiding place and show
your hand, Mr.. President. And while you are
abou. it, you might as well tell your fellow
citizens what you have done with all their
money, that your road should now be heels

ing for their last five months dues? Have
your bankers lost confidence and shut down on
