DISCUSSING THE IssUE.-The great evaporation
Of the clique that defeated in the Union State
Conven ton, induced the belief that they had con
templated swindling schemes of greater ma gnitude
than those they charge against their successful op
ponents. Their subsequent efforts TO place their
candidates in the field would seem TO confirm this
view of the situation. 1t is not altogether without
precedent, as will be seen by the following:


"The Pensacola Florida. Observer saws that the
report that s3i0,o00 had been dug up from the
graveyard of that city, where it had been buried
during the war, and removed to parts unknown,
came near terminating in a tragedy. Some fifty or
sixty neg roes who claimed their share of the plum
TER, attacked the negro drayman who was said to
have spirited the treasure away, and would have
lynched him but for the iaterposition of the Sheriff


The city at last accounts was filed with gangs OF
idle negroes, discussing the great issue


So it is now in California. The State is filled
with gangs of idle politicians, "diseusSing the
great issue of the millions of dollars that they
have lost by the defeat of their schemes just as the
darkies of Pensacola lost their treasure and Just
as the old Pennsy lvania farmer lost FIVE hundred
dollars 10y not raising corn enough Ordinarily the
defeat of such schemes occasion but little disap-
pontment as the attack IS generally renewed until
1t becomes successful; but in the present instance,
like Pensacola grave yard treasure. it appears to
have slipped from their grasp forever as according
TO their charges, the Triumphant clique will lay up

The weather was fair and moderately
warm yesterday. The river is at a stand,
with fourteen feet Of water in the chan
mel.


Business was a little more lively on
the wharf yesterday.


The KeRtoH, from New Orleans, bound
for Pittsburg, stopped at the wharf and
unloaded twenty-one hogsheads Of leaf
tobacco.


The st. Louis Dispatch thus speaks OF
the dullness of the river business at that
port:


Business, crab like continues to 20
backward, with very gloomy prospects
for the future.


There is no trouble at the wharf abont
the eight hour movement, the majority
of the laborers thinking themselves
lucky if they can put in six hours, and
get their pay. Unless there is a change,
four hours or less, will constitute day
work at the wharf.


Last week is set down as the duiiest
ever experienced OH the river at this
season of the year. Drays were hang
ing around loose, or serving as kind
of hitching places by which owners of
horses could escape the penalties pro-
vided for leaving them loose. Aside
from the arrival and departure Of the
regular packets, which brought moth
ing, and took away nothing, but them
selves, the landing was almost as quiet
as the meadowy banks of some coun-
try rivulet.


Ii is stated OIL authority that one
man about dusk Saturday evening was
seen depositing small quantity of
freight, which if he hadn't been known
we should have supposed had stolen it
some where. and was laying it on the
wharf to hide it.

From the New York Evening Post.


The workingmen in several of the
trades are striking for higher wages.
At the same time the employers say
they cannot pay more without produc-
ing q general st oppage of business.


The workmen of this country, as
Commissioner Wells has shown in his
report, are underpaid when their wages
are compared with the cost of the ne
cessaries of life Yet on the other hand,
wages are 50 high that industry is par
alyzed.
| One chief cause of this ruinous state
Of things is the. abominable way in
which the "protectionists' have ar.
ranged, or misarranged, our whole sys-
tenn of taxation. Instead of raising our
revenue cheaply from thirty OF forty
leading articles of consumption, we
raise il now by taxing sixteen thousand
articles. This monstrous system is de-
vised more for the benefit Of tax-gath.
erers and the monopOlists whose capital
is protected" than for the Government
and people.


Wherever mechanics meet together ia
consider their condition, let them pro-
test against the ruinous folly of raising
revenue by taxes on sixteen thousand
articles, and demand of Congress an
immediate and thorough reform, on the
basis Of q strictly revenue tariff and tax
system.
