NEW YORK.

New York, May 27.-The German
journeymen piano-makers held mass
meeting yesterday to. enforce the eight
hour system. The eight hour move
ment is still pressed with undated vigor
by thousands Of workmen now on a
strike in New York and vicinity. Near
ly half of the sixty firms of upholsterers
have acceded to the demands of en-
ployes, who held a mass meeting this
afternoon at the City Hall Park. Sofa
and lounge manufacturers Joined the
strike this morning. The marble cut
tiers of this city, numbering two thOus-
and or over, go on general strike to-
day.
The eight-hour rule has already been
adopted in about three-fourths of the
marble shops, but some of the employees
are greatly opposed to the movement.
The strike now in progress among the
painters in Brooklyn will not probably
last long, as all the employers, with a
single exception, are willing to adopt the
system. The Central Committee of the
Eight Hour League of this city has called
a mass meeting of all employees of cab
inet-makers in Brooklyn for this evening
to organize a general strike The United
Carpenters meet tonight to organize a
strike. The painters of Williamsburg
struck this morning. The journeymen
bakers, preparing to join the movement,
hold mass meeting June |.
The plumbers strike has ended favor
ably to the strikers. The frame and
pattern makers strike progresses sue
cessfully; a mass meeting will be held
to-day. The carpenters Of Green Point
strike to-day. The wood caryers' strike
progresses favorably.

lyzed by Prof Chandler, of the Board Of

FREEpMER,s BUREAU.

A Washington dispatch Of Thursday
says: 1.-THE Freedmen's Bureau, ac-
cording to the action of the House, will
close on June 30, 1872. Notwithstand-
ing the millions of dollars which have
been appropriated and the thousands Of
dollars which have not been accounted
for, a cool hundred thousand dollars is
appropriated to wind it up. This suspi-
cious circumstance excited a long de-
bate in the House to-day, but the amount
was concurred in" Let the hundred
thousand dollars 90. The people will
gladly pay it to get rid Of so despicable
a thing. With the Southern people that
abomination will forever remain in
memory as a dream Of snakes, and fall
ing off the tops Of fourstory houses. At
any price they demand its destruction.
1t has done no good. 1t has taken mil
lions from the working people to sup
port the vagabonds pampered to sustain
corrupt administration. Justice to the
people, though long delayed, will come
at last. The removal Of the Freedmen 1
Bureau, at whatever cost, will prove q
blessing to the people of the South, but
in their nostrils it will smell forever.

SIGNIFICANT.

A Northern reform paper thinks the
public would be very glad to learn why
the committee of the United States SEN
ate which has had the cases of the SEN
ators from Kansas under consideration
do not act promptly. Both branches of
the Republican Legislature of Kansas
have preferred grave charges against
Pomeroy and Caldwell, and although
both Senators are ardent Grant men,
and Morton is the chairman of the COM
mittee charged with the investigation, no
whitewashing report has been presented
in their case. This looks very suspi-
cious. If matters are so bad that Nor
ton fails to protest the innocence of the
accused Senators, the corruption must
be very rank and the proof overwhelm-

A TRIBUTE.

Mr.. George Alfred Townsend pay
this tribute to the South;
Did you ever think what a great race
of men live at the South, to have been
subject to the licentious and prohigatt
contact of slavery for twenty genera
tons, and still preserve such energies
and SO much manly character We miss
them from our public counsels To-Day.
How capable and direct they were in
foreign diplomacy-courtesy and chiv.
airy and truth in their address,
Then, shareholders as we were, the world
knew we said no more than we meant.
We did not needlessly irritate our peers
among the nations with sardonic SEN
fences, like Bancroft Davis. With the
glove in his hand, and the talk of a
kings herald the Soutberner made his
proposition to the foreigner. OF him it
might be said, as OF Cromwell: While
he lived, no Dutchman swept the narrow
seasl No Castlemaines dishonored the
high places Vice and folly trembled in
his eye, and all good things lay safe be-
meath his mighty shadow"

THE EIGHr-HoUR MOVEMENT.

The recent strikes which have been so
actively pressed by the mechanics OF
New York in favor of the eight-hour
system have been successful. The stone
masons and the master masons have
agreed to adopt the eight-hour system,
to 20 into operation on the LIST of June.
Last week, as if by preconcerted move
ment, the bricklayers, plumbers, carpen-
tiers, cabinet-makers, upholsterers and
wood-carvers struck for the eight-hour
system, and their demands had to be ac-
ceeded to. Since that the strike has ex-
tended to other branches Of trade, the
strikers not only fixing the time of work
but the price to be paid for it. Trade
organizations are rapidly extending from
New York to other cities, so asto secure
the adoption of the eight-hour system.
Manufacturers and capitalists have been
compelled to agree to all the terms pro-
posed and dictated by the mechanics,
but it is evident that it was done to gain
time, so that when ready, the employers
can renew the struggle and replace the
labor when the strike comes. In all
struggles between capital and labor, the
latter has had to succumb in the end.
Labor is cheap and the market is often
overstocked with it; hence the labor
strikers have within themselves the ele-
ments of their own destruction. The
law, of necessity, favors capital in these
struggles, because it insists on general
principles, that labor is marketable
commodity, and must be sold exactly
for what it is worth If one set of la
borers work cheaper than another, the
law will protect the capitalist in the
employment of such cheap labor.
The evils existing between capi-
tai and labor, and the wrongs Of
ten suffered by the workingmen, are
manifold. and the remedy for the same
has puzzled the brain of many modern
philosopher. These evils gave rise to
chartism in England, communism in
France, "strikes" in Germany and
America. Many manufactures in
France, by adopting the cooperative
system of labor in their factories, so as
to give their employees certain inter
est in the business, have, to a certain
extent solved the vexed problem of
"strikes" by destroying all idea of an
tagonism between workman and EN-
ployer. The only fact that has been
prominently brought into light by these
struggles is, that strikes result disas-
trously both to employer and employe,
both the bound and rebound being fatal.
The remedy has not been as yet discoV-
cred, and so far as can be well seen, the
unfortunate war so long in existence be-
tween capital and labor will break out
again and again, and close with varying
results

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-It is now
generally considered as settled that
Congress adjourns the third Of June.
The temper of the Senate fayors an ad-
jOurnment before the Philadelphia Con-
vention, in order to avoid heated politi-
cal discussions, which, it is believed,
will result il the session is prolonged
after that time. Senator Sawyer gave
notice Saturday that he would offer the
labor commission bill, which he has In
charge, as as amendment TO the tariff
bill, unless it was taken up as a separate
measure.
The Brazilian steamship subsidy comes
up to-day.
Sir Edward Thornton has full powers
to sign the supplemental article here Is
soon as he is advised Of its acceptance
