Change oG s'ay Esisy.

In his recent visit TO Cincinnati, for the
purpose of delivering an address before the
Engine Builders Of that city, Gen. Iegett, the
Commissioner Of Patents, is reported to have
recommended, among other important sug-
gestions, the transfer of payday ofworkinG-
men from Saturday TO Monday. Saturday
nights and Sundays" he said, have ruined
many men and brought untold misery upon
their families" Wherever this suggestion
has been adopted and it is growing into
fashion, the results have been very favorable,
both i'll England and in this country.
He also advised that when a laborer has
established character for skill and integrity,
he ought to be provided with a good certiii-
cate, so that wherever he goes, it will consti-
tute part of his stock in trade and secure
him work at remunerative wages.
Under the present system of trades unions,
such certificate would be useless; because
the unions discourage remunerative wages
for skill and integrity, by insisting that "all
hands" shall be paid the same price, whether
they be skillful or stupid, honest or dishon-
est. Until the prevailing spirit among arti-
sans is changed, there is little hope ofreform.

slavery isi Porto Rico.

Anti-slavery feeling and sentiment may be
said to have firm hold upon the enlightened
nations of tho earth. The curse of slavery
has been felt and is acknowledged by all civ.
ilized nations. When civilization has rio
itself of the incubus of human bondage its
attention and energies will naturally be
turned to the overthrow Of the evil among
the barbarous or semi-civilized nations,
hence we hail with unalloyed satisfaction
and pleasure such movements as Spain is
now iuaugurating for the overthrow ofslaverY
in Porto Rico. The following dispatch is
taken from the New York Tribune:
MADRID, Wednesday, Dec. o5, 1872.
The bill providing for the emancipation oil
the slaves in Porto Rico was read in the
lower branch of the Cortes yesterday. All
slaves are to be free within four months after
the PRONUNCIATION Of the passage of the bill.
The slave-owners are to be Unidentified for
their property. Many of the deputies ex-
pressed their approval of the bill by cheers
after its reading. The Government again an
nounced that reforms in Cuba were post
poned in consequence Of the instruction on
that island.
The bill provides that the slave-owners
shall receive 80 per cent. indemnity, Of which
the State shall pay 40 per cent. and tho coll
ony the balance.

ing Indication CT the grand integrity OF the
man. Without in anywise committing our
selves to the wisdom Of his resolution, and
especially Of the time for presenting it, we
are free to confess that we see in it the full
est accord with the earliest convictions Of
Mr.. Sumner, and new evidence Of the sound
and grand character Of that statesman.
We have no doubt that this resolution was
FASTENED before the Senate by a considera-
ton which we can contemplate only with the
deepest pain. Mr.. Sumner has never re-
covered from the assassin blows which years
ago felled him 10 tho floor of the Senate.
He is to-day living martyr to the cause Of
an enslavcd race. A feeling that his days
may be few, and desire to perfect the work
of his great life may have precipitated this
resolution in the interest Of Cancellation and
national unity. Living or dying, whatever
else may be said Of Charles Sumner, it can
never be said that he is inconsistent with
himself on the great principles of justice and

A Rebel ROOrbaCk Exploded.

For several days the rebel agent Of the
Associated Press at Columbia, South Carroll
ma, favored the people Of tho country with
startling accounts of the alleged bribery and
corruption by which Hon. j. J. Patterson
was elected United States Senator. The
charge was that he had bought up the Legis-
lature, body and breeches, and the alfidavits
of two or three members to this effect were
telegraphed all over the country, together
with the legal proceedings had before trial
justice corroborating their truth. But there
seems to be another side to the story, and it
has slowly found its way North. 1t turns
out that the afIldavits are absolute forSeries,
upon an investigation Of the charges. The
witnesses at this investigation were the MEM
bers Of the Legislature whose names were at
tanhnd to tho aflGarirs in question, and they
swore that they never signed them, but that
their names had been forged. They had never
even been read or seen by them, and they de-
clared that no money had been offered them
or to any other member, so far as they knew.
The charge against Mr.. Patterson was there
foro summarily dismissed, not IN imputation
resting upon his character. Thus ends an-
other rebel roorback.

committee that "they had no connection OF
aifiliation with Gov. Warmoth, either directly
or indirectly" is shown to be false by the
fact that one OF the committee, John G.
Gaines, President of the Citizens Bank Of
New Orleans, has been the private banker
Of Governor Warmoth and custodian OF the
moneys OF the State. Judge Campbell,
another Of the committee, and the writer OF
the ''calm, moderate, and impartial address
signed by the thirty or forty citizens Of New
Orleans Of great moral eminence, has been
the regular counsel of the New Orleans, Mo-
bile, and Chattanooga Railway Company, an
organization that, by the assistance OF Gov
crnor Warmoth, has obtained millions Of dol
lars Of State bonds, for which no value has
been received by the State, and with no pro-
liability that the State ever will receive a
cent for them.
1t would seem from the exposure Of the re-
la,ions held to Governor Warnoth by men,
bers Of the New Orleans committee of moral
ity and responsibility, that the whole move on
| Washington was one Of the tricks and man
ners" of His Excellency Governor Wamoth,
and entitled to no more respect than the re-
ports whitewashed by 4 committee of re-
spectacle men in New York city in regard
/ to the state Of affairs under the management
of Boss Tweed.
! Henry Clay Warmoth has, by lis past con-
duct in the political arena, clearly demon
strated to the law-loving and right-minded
| citizens of New Orleans and Louisiana that
| he is a man who will not scruple to ruin the
State if he by it chm become rich. Self
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and not the good Of the
people, has marked his whole course as Gov
ernor of tho State Of Louisiana. This was
well known to the delegation from the com
mittec of one hundred that visited Washing
ton last week, and it is not very long time
ago when members of this committee were
strong opponents Of Henry Clay Warmoth.
| When, however, the rascalty of Warmoth
made him odious to the Republican party,
and that party refused longer to bolster him
up, he sought alliance with the party Of which,
the members of tho committee of one hum
| dred wero members, and was received by
them with the hope that he would use his
powers for evil in destroying the Republican
party and placing the rens of the State gov
eminent in the hands Of the rebel Democ-
racy. The real aim Of the committee is to
get the control Of the State of Louisiana into
the hands Of the Confederate leaders. A
triumph over the rights of the black man, his
degradation to serfdom, is still cherished and
hoped for by many citizens of the South, and
this class of citizens were represented by tho
committee Of one hundred. This is we'll
understood by the press Of the country, and
the address Of the committee is received for
all it. is worth, in the view Of the fact Of its
being partial and partisan emanation.

Acting Governor PinChback.

Journals having leaning toward the mis-
rule and usurpation of Henry Clay Warmoth
constantly assert that Acting Governor
Pinchback is exercising the functions Of Gov
ernor without shadow of right, and that
but for the interpostion Of Federal bayonets
in his behalf, the State courts would deprive
him of the position he holds and of the power
welded By him. The Supreme Court of the
State Of Louisiana recognizes the validity OF
the acts Of Governor Pinchback, and refuses
to recogaizc the acts of Governor Warmoth
as legal. This court, in the case Of Sheriff
Harper, appointed by Governor Pinchback,
recognized the commission as valid, but re-
fused to accept the bond given by him under
Warmoth's commission. Here we have the
acqucsccnce of the highest court in the State
in the position taken By Governor Pinch
back, which may be taken as a complete an
swer to the charge that Governor Pinchback
is exercising authority contrary to the law Of
the State of Louisiana. The President needs
no defense for proceeding as he has, in view
of the fact that the acts Of Governor Pinch
back are held to be legal By the Supreme
Court of Louisiana. The friends Of Gov
crnor Pinchback and Governor-elect Kellogg
would welcome the appointment Of COM
mittee of investigation by Congress, feeling
sure that the right in the matter Of the Lou
isiana troubles is with the party so we'll rep
resented by Governor Pinchback, and that
its demonstration can easily be made to im-
partial investigators.
For the victory over Warmoth and the
great benefit that will accrue from it to the
State, the people of Louisiana owe much to
Acting Governor Pinchback. Had Ec ac-
copied the rendered bride of Warmoth and
acted as his accomplice, the outrages upon
the treasury of the State, the installation oil
persons as State officials against the eX-
pressed wish Of the people, would have been
carried out without any means Of redress
| being left in the hands Of the people. by
the patriotic action Of Governor Pinchback,
the calamities that would have followed the
continuance Of the power Of Warmoth have
been averted, and to-day there is larger feel
ing Of security among business men in New
Orleans than has been there for long time
in the past. The colored people Of Lou
isiana have reason for especial pride because
Of the fact that one Of their number has been
so conspicuously instrumental i'll selling the
opportunity for opening the way to rid the
State of that power which has retarded its
progress and filed with dismay its patriotic
and progressive citizens.

Christmas nj yyayiand Seminary.

The students of the above-namcd school
were summoned to partake of very bounti-
full repast on the Goth ult. The hall in
which the dinner was served was beautifully
decorated with evergreens and scriptnral mot
toes. The dinner was prepared and donated
by the Dudley street Baptist Church, Bos-
ton. and forwarded ready for the consumers.
Notwithstanding the dire calamity that has
so recently befallen this t!me-honored city,
the generous heart still beats with sympa-
thy for the poor. The teachers and pupils
of Wayland highly appreciate the motives
that prompted The good friends of Boston to
look after their comfort and enjoyment even
in the midst of so terrible misfortune that
has so shortly come upon them.
Appropriate resolutions were adopted eS.
pressive Of their gratitude for the donors oil
the dinner. The members Of Dudley street
Baptist Church will always have warm
place in the hearts of the earnest teachers
and faithful students Of Wayland Seminary.
Between the courses toasts were offered ana
responded to by the teachers and pupils, and
the scene was enlivened by appropriate
HYMNS. The day will not be forgotten by
those who partook, and the teachers and pu-
pills will take up the work for the rest Of the
wear with renewed vigor

Parting with Their Teacher.

The pupils of Mrs. V. L. Douglass school
in Potomac City surprised that lady last night
by calling in large numbers ct her residence,
and presenting to her a beautiful work boy
made of shells, pair Of vases, and an orna-
mental wine set. This expression was occa-
stoned by the recent transfer of Mrs. D. from
the school she has presided over for three
years, to one in another portion Of the county.
Mr.. John. II. Moss, ON behalf Of the parents
and pupils, made the presentation speech.
and alluded in feeling terms to the 1ntiriug
efforts put forth by Mrs. Douglass for the adj.
vancement of her pupils. Mrs. Douglass re.
sponded, thanking her pupils and their pa
rents for their kind expressions, and for the.
tokens of their affection presented to her,
and though regretting the severance of her
connection with them in their school, she felt
satisfied that in her new school all would be
peace and harmony between the teachers.
Being taken by surprise, and unprepared to
entertain her visitors as she desired, all were
invited to be present on Friday evening next

Postal Cards la Eagiand-Tiae list
ant; Abase OF the system.

when the Postmaster General informed us
Of the new privilege by which we could COM
municate with our friends at cost Of one
half-penny, instead of Il penny, we were not
indisposca to rejoice that we could get any
thing at half price. The reioicings were con-
siderably mo @erated when we were told that
our communications must be written on an
open card, the observed Of all observers. 1t
did not require conjurer to tell us that half
penny post cards would be liable to scandal.
Gus abuse, and that the new method of con-
veying messages would be new way OF dis
seminuting abominab!e libels. We ventured
to point this out at the very commencement,
and our words have been more than verified.
From that day to this we have heard of
nothing but libels. Impairment shop girls
in the Burlington arcade have gratuitously
insultcd ladies of title; and irritable gentle-
men, like John Hampden, with "a fad'' con-
corning the rotundty OF the earth, have used
post cards for the worst purposes. Every
miserable little tradesman who owes a crudge,
and every scoundrel who dare not say openly
what he thinks, flies to the half-penny post
card to crafty mean feeling of paltry re-
venge. Post cards have been tried, there
fore, for some considerable time, and having
been proved to be extremely dangerous wea-
pons, it becomes q question tor the Post
master General to decide how long he will
retain them as an authorized means of COM
muncation. For private purposes they are
useless. Courtesy and dccency alike pro-
hibt their use by all well-versed in the ordi-
nary decencies ofsociety. For what purpose,
therefore. are post cards retained? Thrifty
house-keepers use them for ordering Goals and
candles. secretaries Of charitable societies
are not above employing them for the pur-
poses of Importantly. For summoning meet
l.
handy enough, but they are perpetual an
noyance to editors of newspapers, who would
cheer the hour when they were abolished.

recent Hbels on Lady Constance Fitzgerald
and Professor Wallace. -.LoEdon Era.
