THE extensive suspension Of manu-
factories in New York and New Eng
land opens up another act in the fnan-
cial drama, the actors in which are the
bloated capitalists who intended by
suspension and the discharge of la
borers, to bring down the price of la
Dor. No satisfactory reasons are given
why the factories should not continue
to operate, whilst there are circum-
stances, in abundance. going to show
a preconcerted purpose, on the part
of capital, to make labor subservient
to its greed. The effects most likely
to grow out of such a movement, will
be to widen the misunderstanding be-
tween the two interests, made antago-
nistic by the aggressive spirit of capt.
tai upon all interests not identical
with its own; and to swell the ranks of
the internationals and, thereby, add
to the insecurity of life and property
in commercial centers.

UNDER the caption of Injustice to
Newspaper Publishers, y the Nashville
Banner has the following well-timed
remarks:
IF there is civil service reform more
needed in one branch of the public
service than another, it would seem to
be needed in some of the country post
offices in this section of the Union.
We allude to the looseness with which
the newspaper mails are unprotected.
Here and there over the country, are
small post-ofices, kept, perhaps, in
one corner of a crossroads or village
store, which are more or less free to
local loafers and loungers, in spite of
the over modest circumstances of the
postmaster. Where the postmaster
happens to be good easy soul, with
surplus of free-and-easy visitors, his
pOst-office is invaded with familiar
ity certainly not authorized by law,
and should not be tolerated by the
public functiouary who happens to be
the custodian of the United States
mail. By this looseness which char
actertizes the management of some
post-offces of this class, great injustice
is done to newspaper publishers and
to their subscribers. One citizen of
place may be enlightened and liberal
enough to subscribe and pay for
newspaper. 1t is his property, inviol-
able, and to be delivered into his own
hands. But usually, half dozen or
more "dead-beats," will help them
selves to it, or importune the post
master for the loan of it. until it is
thumb-wOrn enough before it reaches
Its legitimate owner, to be almost lille
glble. The greatest injustice. however.
is done to the newspaper publisher.
whose capital, skill, labor and brains
are applied to the enterprise. and who
is thus made to furnish half a dozen
persons with their reading, gratis. We
are great believers in the widest dis
semlnatiOn Of useful information for
the people, but we do not believe in it to
the extent of an entire oblivion of the
truth that the laborer is worthy of
his hire" We think it is time the
Government should interpose to the
suppression of this species of dead
beatism, by more specific regulation
which would at least enable the post
master to protect his Office against such
impositions. 1t is difficult sometimes,
We know, as well as unpleasant, es-
pecially in post-ofices located in thin
ly settled points, to enforce existing
regulations. but if the Government
would require printed regulation
prohibiting the delivery of papers, ex-
cept to those to whom addressed, to be
posted conspicuously over every Office
delivery, it would be not only a great
relief to the publisher and subscriber
but also to the local postmaster. Mean
while postmasters should exercise a
little more firmness and rid themselves
of insufferable bores, while protecting
the interests of the publisher and that
class of the public who pay for their
reading

THE remark has been repeatedly
made TO us, in the last week, that
Montgomery county ought to be proud
of its Representative, r. T. Ferguson,
and that he ought to be returned to the
Legislature as long as he will accept
the position. His sound judgment and
straight forward integrity, make him
popular with all parties, and that pop
ularjty gives him an influence that is
cxertcd for the general good. 1t gave
uS pleasure TO endorse this Just esti-
mate of our Representative, and to
concur with the suggestion, that his
services be brought into requesition.
aS long as he will consent to devote
ihem II the welfare of Montgomery
and the State Of Tennessee.
And this suggests the question
why it is that the people are often
Jealous for the election of a Govern
ar or Judge, whilst they take little in
;"rest in the choice of a Representa-
tive? They seem to forget that the
Governor is simply the executive OF
the laws, and the Judge, the interpre-
Ter Of their meaning. whilst it is the
province of the Legislature to make
the laws. II they be wise, neither the
Executive nor the Judiciary can well
err in their administration according
80 the intent of the law making power.
But if they by unwiSe, the more strict
~ they are enforced, the greater the
evils resulting from their ill-advised
enactment. If then good laws make
good government. il is absurd to expect
;his result from the acts of Legisla
suye deficient in integrity, intelligence
and craftsmanship. TO secure good
slyei h1ent, the first requisite is wise
aud hoBeSs leg.slators-theSe. with
Judiciary made Independent of pop
aisr capriee-liftel above the infu-
cnees aad sympathies Of political par
tyism, are the best security for pOpu-
lar rights, public virtue and general
prosperity.

WALL STREET has had another blue
Monday" which clearly proves that the
financial crisis has not passed, and it
seems strange that any intelligent man
should believe that twelve years of
governmental extravagance, official and
ring stealing and constantly increasing
corruption in all the departments of
business life, can pass away with a
single convulsion, leaving the great
interests outside the circle of cOncen-
trated capital, so little shaken and un-
settled, as they appear to be at this
moment. The reaction upon the far
mers and mechanics and day aborers
is yet to be felt, and felt it must be,
or there is no mutual dependence be-
tween capital and labor. Every report
from the commercial centres, shows
that others than spectators and bank
ers are falling and giving way under
the shock, and that the evils caused
by INSTRUMENTATION and the corrupt
use of concentrated capital are work
ing their legitimate results upon the
producing classes and the general pros
perity of the country. The worst has
has not yet been felt, and the work of
ruin must 20 on until the cause is re-
moved-that cause being corruption
in every department of the govern
ment, and the tame submission of the
people to the gross wrongs perpetra-
ted by their agents.
