CAPACITY FOR COOPERATION.

Among large bodies of American artisans
there are very few men so conservative as TO
deny that they desire to lessen the social and
pecuniary distance between themselves and
their employers; the only difference in the
degrees of desire being that the lOafers
grumble at the distance and the industrious
men calculate its extent. The lOafers we
probably shall always have with us, so long
as there are wives willing to work, and tap.
rooms ready to furnish drink for dime.
The argument brought by capitalists to ex-
plain the want of success of the industrious
workingmen in improving their condition in
life is that they have not the natural ability
to cooperate that the desire of the working
man is to change his place of work fire.
auently; and that in the apportionment of
the labor and duties of Cooperative Society
every man wants to be the officer he is not
capable of being, and refuses to subordinate
himself to the fttest. Unfortunately, there
are many practical instances which seem
to support this argument. We insist
however, that tho argument Is incorrect

TAe National IntelliaenOar. now issued we sl,

The Nah0sal IntelHgenosr, now issued we KY
in this City by Mr.. A.. Delmar, has very
elaborate array of statistics which are hed to
prove the question of Protection rs. Free
Trade Ona of secondary if not trivial import
ance because Git says) an enhancement OF duty
is only operative to reduce importation, for n
year or Two, when, prices having risen, We i'm
port as much as before.
Admitting the facts to be as Mr. Delmar
states. we deduce thsfefrom conclusions quite
other than his. We hold that the aOuntry's
prosperity is so enhanced by Protect that
she ,s enabled to buy. and therefore hays, more
foreign Metals, Wares and Fabrics. than she
cotld have been enabled to do snder Free
Trade. And we hold the case nsk fully pre-
sonted until the annual home prOduct is set
forth as well as the foreign.
For instance: Saws were almsst wholly in,-

mort fewer than we formerly lid; but we buy
and use many more. This h our explanation

nounce Judgment thereon in the choice Of
Members of Congress, by whom, and not by
the Executive, it must DO discussed and de-
cided.
This Wow, we rejoice to say, has prevailed.
But its prevalence is no triumph over Free
Trade, much less over "Revenue Reform" be
that what it may 1t is simply reference of
the whole subject to the decision of the People,
unprejudiced by any dictum of the Convention.
IL the majority are for Free Trade, or against
it, they are nowise precluded by the Libe-
raj platform from making their Judgment
known and respected. On the contrary, they
arc cxhorted to do so, with IN assurance that
their wish, thus automatically expressed shall
not be overborne by Executive power. This is
as we think 1t should be and we do not see
why any who have faith in the People should
be alienated or offended by such reference
of the subject. 4

THE UAR DEpARTMENT RECORDS

The proceedings of the Committee which is
investigating the loss of the Buell. papers have
thus far been held in secret. They should be
at once thrown open. Publicity is the best
detector sometimes, and we have no doubt it
would facilitate the labors of the present in
miry. What reason is there for eoncealing
tho evidencef The Committee we presume,
does not want to whitewash anybody. II there
are or have been scandals in the administra-
ton of the War Department we see no reason
why they should be covered up. In justice to
the innocent it ought to be known at once
who has been at fault. Suspicion is DOW
pointed at various persons, some OF whom
probably do not deserve it. There is nc doubt
that the theft occurred before Secretary Belk
nap came into. Office, and he at least ought to
be cleared of every possible imputatiOn upon
his. conduct
But there is another reason why the doors
of this committee room should be opened. 1t
is understood that Adjutant- General Townsend
gave some evidence the other day which I'M
phcated one of, the Presidents attaches in the
disappearance of certain important documents
only two OF three gears ago. Early in the
present administration. by an order from the
White House, a great quantity of letters and
other papers was taken from the files Of the
War Department ard sent to the President
and Gen. Badeau. When these records we're
returned. about six hundred letters, including
an extensive correspondence between Gems
Grant ard Halleck, were missing. Gen. Badeau
insisted that he haE replaced them with the
others. Gen. Townsend declares that he did
not, ani according to our information, pro-
duced before the Committee list of these lost
docusants, which never haze been seen since
they were borrowed by the White House.
This is q serious business, and if such things
have been going on at Washington the people
are entitled to know all about it. Turn on the
lights

ANOTHER NEJY CHARTER.

To the surprise of everybody, tho Senate
took up and unanimously passed, yesterday
a bill to amend the City Charter of 1870, in
troduced by Senator Palmer last Thursday
The bill, which virtually provides new
Charter, is not volumnous, and seems to have
been prepared with reference to an expected
defeat of the scheme devised by the Commit
tee of Seventy. 1t provides for an election on
the last Friday in May, 1872, when there shall
be chosen Mayor. who shall hold office from
July /. 1872, until the first Tuesday of May
1874, with an annual salary of $4,000. There
shall be three Aldermen elected at the same
time in each Senate district, and one Assistant
Aldermen in each Assembly district who shall
take Office Jan. 1, 1878, and hold until the
first Tuesday in May, 1874. The Mayor is to
have the power of appointing and removing
the heads of all Departments. He may also
remove the present Heads of Departments and
appoint their successors; but these officials may
be also removed by the Governor, as Sheriffs are
now removed. The bill provides for four
Commissioners of Police. one of Public Works,
Controller, Board of Health, Commissioners of
Docks, Board of Education, etc. The Heads
of Departments are to receive $1,000 each, the
Controller $4,000, the City Chamberlain
$4,000, and the Aldermen and Assistant AL
dermcn $4,000 each.
The City Chamberlain is TO receive
and disburse all moneys, paying cut only
on warrants drawn by the Controller
and countersigncd by the Mayor. Weekly re-
ports are to be made by the Chamberlain, and
Commission appointed by the Common
Council shall annually examine his accounts.
The Controller is required to publish de-
tailed statement of accounts two months before
each annual charter election, and q daily
statement of cash balances Any tax payer may
compel an investigation of public accounts.
Provision is made against any Corporation
officer being interested in any contract or
pecuniary transaction in which the City is con-
cerned and any such officer may be sum-
marty examined on the order of any Judge,
based on proper affidavit as to malconduct or
neglect of duties. Printing, stationery, blanks
ETC., are to be supplied to the City on con-
tracts only, after due advertisement Provision
is made for the examination and trial of sub
ordinate officers accused Of malcOnduct or cor
ruption, and for the scrutiny of the different
Department accounts by the legislative branch
of the Government. 1t is provided that the
term of Office of the present Mayor Shall ex-
pire July T. 1872, and that on the 10Th of July,
1872. shall expire the terms of all of the Com
missoners and other officials whose places are
directed to be filled by this act. All of the
provisions of the bill are to take effect July /.
1872, except those pertaining to elections,
which are to take effect forthwith.

The Hurricane Mt Zanzibar.

A correspondent of the London Times,
writing from Zanzibar in relation to the
hurricane which occurred there on the
18th of April, says the shores surround
ing the harbor are studded with wrecks.
The Sultan has lost all his vessels with
the exception of two small steamers.
Reports from the interior are to the
effect that not only have most of the
cocoanut trees been uprooted, but that
all the cassava, the sweet potatoes, In
dian corn, rice, and other more import
ant crops, forming the property of per-
haps 100000 people, and on which they
depend for a mere subsistence, has been
utterly destroyed. The loss of life in
the town and harbor was immense. The
storm was so terrific and unexpected
that means for safety were not used.
The native dhows, with their crews, sunk
in the harbor, and many inhabitants
perished in the wreck Of their houses
The damage done will probably amount
to E4,000,O00 or f5,00O,0OO sterling.
That more than half Of the commerce
of Zanzibar has been destroyed for years,
is unquestionable; but what the i'm
pending effects on native population
may be, one can hardly form an estimate
