jrjsw fibl'H ATWSS. -■ History of American Socialisms. ', By Jolin jlumphrcy Noyes. 8 vo, pp. 078* Llppincott TOsis'a serious attempt to give reliable details of tLose various American cotnniuuities which, starting from the traditions of Fourierism,have tried in diverse ways, and with varying schemes of polity, to expand the family Or" patriarchal relation into a local government. The author is the too-celebrated John H. Noyes, splritua guide in that Oneida Community which is to Uie virtuous society of America almost a synonym of horror. But the purlent will find very little to satisfy them in his record. When he comes to treat of his own hand of followers, the terms of an assumed religion or fanaticism are adroitly used to disinfect the essential base ness of the cultus practised among them, riungmg a little below the surface, however, we find nothing that is pleasantexceptthe fact that the Oneida fiee-lovers number after all less than three hundred souls, and' their exte rior influence,and effect in general society, can nowhere be perceived. The Oneida experi ment is a dwindling affair, small cveryhow, and having hut one success —the manufacture of steel traps. Taken as a reform movement, weareed shrewdly to guess that it will not be heard of for many years after its present leader, the author of this book, —the wide awake and truly Yankee prophet Noyes-shall be dead. The treatise contains but a vague exposure of the Oneida doctrines, though it is probably their virtue to be transcendentally misty in the regions of the ideal, and only to become suddenly and alarmingly distinct when they approach the physical. “God is dual, says the leader, ‘land not man, as male and female are made in the image of God;” and all diseases of body and soul are due to diabolical influences. The application of this myth to the question of the relation between the sexes is set forth in a treatise described as tbe social theory of the Bible communists. The main point appeavs to he that marriage is to be suppressed in favor of communism, and this theory is confirmed by a series of texts from tbe Book of Genesis and St. Paul’s Epistles, together with certain grammatical speculations as to the meaning of the possessive pronoun. We are not to love each other “by pairs, but m imxse.” Mar riage produces various evils, such, ior ex ample, as adultery’ and “ licentiousness in general.” Shame, instead of being a virtue, is a part of orieinal sin. By an intellectual theory all his own, Mr. Noyes arrives at the conviction that somehow or other the Oneida communists are “not free lovers ia any sense that makes love less binding or responsible than it is in marriage; ” which exposition oi tweedle-dum#nd tweedle-dee we set in type for the benefit of those who desire to contem plate this oiganized bagnio without nausea. Mr. Noyes, however, devotes only a portion of his work to this self-apoiogy. He appears, as his title indicates, as .the chronicler of the whole family of socialistic schemes in this country. His material came to his hands in a I way which deprives him of consideration as an | author, and divests lift compilation of most of its originality. We learn that a certain Scotch man, named Macdonald, came over to America as a disciple of the socialist Owen, and became, as Mr. Noyes says, a kind of “Old Mortality,” wandering about in the United States, and collecting tbe epitaphs of extinct groups of social converts which Fourier would have called “phalanxes.” He died before making any tise of the materials he had col lected, which fell into the hands of Mr. Noyes a few years afterwards. They consist of longer or shorter records of sixty-nine commu nities which had existed at different tunes, and chiefly since the year 1820, in different parts of America. There is a. distressing similarity in the rise and growth and wane of the various failures. But among the statistics of these reeords are some curious notes of the past life and growth of our men of talent. It is- true that our very first-class minds did not ally themselves with any class of communists. Men like Emerson and Hawthorne feared their late too much to embark decidedly in the Brook Farm venture; they dared not put it to the touch, to win or lose it all, and Emerson is petulantly blamed in these pages for his distant attitude, and .Hawthorne is called a jilt. But, turning to the table which gives tbe contribu tors’ names to the journals Phalanx, and Har binger, we see that the socialistic ideas which our men of talent weie unwilling to guide, guided them. Thfese journals bad the enthu siastic youthful pens'of our present historians, essayists, poets, journalists and artists at their beck in 1844 and ’47. The largest number,of contributions was 315, from George Ripley; Parke Godwin inserted 152 ; Charles A. Dana 248; George W. Curtis 10; John G. Whittier one; Lowell two; Horace Greeley two. It was an age of ferment, and socialism was not then, as now, a confessed failure, waiting to be crowded out by a more advanced civilization. We receive through the Central News Com pany bound volume No. xvi. of the Living Age, conducted by B. Littell, and published in Bos ton by Littell & Gay. This was the first im portant eclectic publication in America, its j volumes in all,- and under different names of j series, years, Ac., amounting to the large num her of 104. No compilation of the kind ! has been so uniformly’ pure in literary \ taste —so true an echo of the best utterances of the best minds in contemporary literature. It has sailed bravely, steadily, and for a long time alone, having had until quite lately ab solutely no rival in the race. And we anti cipate a still greater excellence for the future since, as Lecky says, the best intellect of, the age is more and more draining into the form of periodical literature. The present volume contains, besides the best essay-writing of the quarter which it represents (January to .March, 1670), instalmen s of the tales Against Time, Clelia, Carlino, Dorothy Fox, Earl’s Dene (by Lever), John (by Mrs. Oliphant), &c.

THE COAIi KECtIOSS. The Miners’ StrlKc—Action »f a Conven. lion—A Steep Kallroad -Account of a Terrible Blsaster—Monster Engines— A Long Montb—The Outlawry In tbe Coal Keetons. [Correspondence of the Plillada. Evening Bulletin.] Potxsville, April 7.—The strike among the miners is universal, and threatens to be of long continuance. It has partly extended to the railroad men, but a majority of these are opposed to it. The employes of the Hahanoy and Broad Mountain Railroad are the only ones who have struck, as yet. The Mine Hill men had the subject under advisement, but wisely concluded ’twas better not to “fly to ills they knew not of,” and notified the Moun tain men' accordingly. Thereupon the latter held a meeting at Frackville, yesterday, at which both the Grade and tbe Mahanoy Valley were fully represented, and decided, almost unanimously, not to resume work at the present standard of wages. It speaks well for the freedom of speech permitted at this council that two members recorded their votes in favor of resuming work, without any opposition or intimidation on the part of the eighty who voted against them. A committee of three was appointed to con fer with the General Superintendent of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, of which road the M. and B. M. is a branch, and lay be fore him their grievances, which, according to their statement, are ,neither small nor few. The grade up the Broad Mountain, on this road, is the heaviest traversed by a locomotive. It rises 175 to 180 feet per mile, and a walk along the cross-ties is suggestive of the ascent of Bunker Hill Monument. To operate a road like this requires engines of extraordinary strength and weight, and the ordinary engines of the Reading road cannot use it. Their trains would run away with them, as they oc casionally do even with the monsters built for this special servioe; instance—the “ Mountain eer,” which, a few years ago, was sent whiz zing down the road, snapping the timbers of a bridge like pipestems, and driving a heavy stone abutment eight feet into the solid earth behind it. Seven engines have been built for this spe cial service, and each engine is manned by a single crew—a force quite insufficient for the amount of coal to be transported. In busy seasons it is no uncommon thing for an engine to go out at six A. M. and return atfour o’clock next morning, only, perhaps, to be ordered out again at six. ‘ I have before me the time-table of an employe on this road for the last eight months. In August, 1801), the first month on his record,he ran -140 hours; or, forty-four days, at ten horn's a day. I have often heard of “the long month of August,” but I never knew it could be stretched to quite that extent. In this long month his wages amounted to the magnificent sum of ninety dollars and afew cents; and this, too, when their wages were fifty-eight cents a day higher than the preseut “ strike” wages. In September he probably did up some of his back sleeping,as the account shows only 200 hours’ work; but in October he made4oB.hours, and in November 445. Add to this the peril to life and limb on a road where a slippery rail or an inefficient brake may send a whole train to destruction, and where, control once lost, the cars can only be stopped by some sucli vigoror ans as ar rested tbe progress of the “ M aineei”—and it will be seen that the position of train-hand, on the M. & B. M. road is one scarcely to be “ hankered after.” Illustrations are not wanting. The “ much enduring man ” above mentioued lost a brother on tlfis road - , last fall, in just the way I have hinted at. lie was at his post, a brakeman on a dangerous train. There was a slipping of brakes somewhere on the train; the cars gathered headway; the engine was powerless to hold themthere was a rush, a roar, a crash, a wreckof shattered cars and wasted coal, and from the midst of it was dragged the gallant brakeman. lie died at his post. Did General Thomas do more ? The General’s body crossed a continent to reach its resting-place, and a na lion mourned'his loss. The .brakeman was laid in the nearest graveyard, “ and [few] so poor as do him reverence.” Another incident of the aforesaid meeting is worthy of mention. A resolution was passed disclaiming all complicity in or knowledge of the recent lawless attempts on the lives of men who continue working. Switches have been opened at two or three different points, witli a view to wrecking trains. On last Friday night, an attempt of this kind was only prevented from wrecking a passenger train, on the Shen andoah branch of the M. and B. M. Road, by the Vigilance of a miner, who,.passed up the road' and-warncd . the engineer of his danger. On Tuesday morning, an engineer who tod presumed to run the engine, of a striker,ln that gentleman’s absence found ,on his door step a handsome black walmjt/coffln, about eight inches long, neatly Studded With brass nails and bearing an appfbpriate .inscription.' Not having immediate use an article of furniture, he is preserving it for future pos sible emergencies. For the credit of the con ventibnists, I hope they told the truth. ■ ' Wico. ■ HOW COLONEL HcFABUND WAS , SUtiOHIGKm ■ The proceedings of the Senate; in rejecting Colonel,McFarland, are thus .reported -in... the. Daily Topic: , ■ • . . . , , i Mr. Graham moved a reconsideration of the action oftlie Senate in rejecting the nomina tion of Colonel McFarland as State' Superin intendent, of Soldiers’ Orphans’ Schools, Mr. Lowry asked why this motion was made. He hoped it was not done, to disgrace a gallant sbldier who had lost, a leg at Gettysburg, and perhaps should have lost the other. Enough injustice had already been done him. Mr. Graham said his motion was'very appa rent. It was for thd purpose of having another vote, by which the matter. might he settled. Since thisgentleman’s (Col. McFarland’s) nomi nation had been rejected by the Senate, “in fluences” had been brought to work upon the floor of the Senate against the action of the Senate in this matter, and it was time that this should be shut down upon. Mr. Lowry replied that as to influence, if there was no influence at work here in favor of Col. McFarland, there ought to be. Mr, Mumina rose in his place and said he would like to say a word or two for a consti tuent (meaning Col. McFarland). He was amazed at the action of the Senator from Alle gheny (Mr. Graham), who had but recently prepared and presented such an able report from the committee authorized at the last ses sion to investigation the affairs of the Super intendent of Soldiers’ Orphans, exonerating him from all blame or fault. Mr. Graham (interrupting) called the Senator from. Dauphin to order. He was speaking to a question foreign to the motion before the House, which was not debatable. Mr. Lowry moved the indefinite postpone ment of itlie question, his object being to create the opportunity of speaking to the merits of the proposition. Mr. Graham, explaining that the hour of ad journment, was , near at baud, called the pre vious question, to prevent all further discussion. Mr. Mumnia Interposing, asserted, violently, that no improper influences had been at work on the floor of the Senate, as charged by the Senator from Allegheny.. Mr. Graham—l say there have been. Mr.Mmnma—The Senator is mistaken. I desire to have an opportunity of explaining. [Calls to order.] The motion of Mr. Graham for the previous question was found to have been seconded by Messrs. Graham, Brooke, Randall and Howard. The question was then put on the mo ion to reconsider, which was not agreed to. This clinched the opposition to Col. McFar land and precluded any reconsideration of the action of the Senate in rejecting the Governor’s nomination. Mr. Lowiy—l ask leave to make a statement now. Granted. Mr. Lowry—l think the proceedings we have just gone, through are the most unfortu nate 1 have ever witnessed in all my experience in the Senate. The Senator (Mr. Graham) rises in his place and charges upon a brave soldier, who left one leg at Gettysburg and had better have left the other, is using improper in fluences upon this floor. Mr. Graham said be had made no such charge. He urged, however, that improper in fluences were at work to produce a result against the expressed wish ot this Senate.; He explained tlkt it was common to seek to re verse a decision of the Senate, and it was just as common to move reconsideration to prevent such reversal. Mr. Lowry contended there could bo nothing wrong in. seeking to change the decision of the Senate on this question. The Senator from Allegheny had mado an elaborate report ex onorating Col. McFarland; and now he came in here to disgrace a soldier who had served his country faithfully; and he would gag off all discussion. I repeat (said he), in all my years in the State Senate, no injustice has been per petrated equal to that perpetrated in the Senate to-day. Col. McFarland, a good and faithful soldier, has been improperly and wrongfully disgraced in the Senate. Mr. Graham replied that the purpose was to prevent future action on a question de cided by the Senate, which had, by a clear ma jority, expressed their wish that Colonel Mc- Farland should not be continued as Superin tendent of Soldiers’ Orphans. Mr. Mumma rising to speak, there were calls for the orders of the day, it being fifteen minutes after one o’clock, and the Speaker adjourned the Senate, to meet at three o’clock P.M. ART ITEMS.

S, A., having served over forty years, fs retired from active servlse at his own request. There is some'anxiety in New York for the steamer Missouri, which sailed for Ha vana on March 24, and has not been beard from since. Baltimore voted yesterday, by 1,503 ma jority, to issue City bonds, to the amount of $2,500,000, for the purpose of deepening and widening Jones’s Falls. Full returns of the Illiode Island election, give I’adelford, liep., 10,495 votes for Gover nor, and Price, Dem., 0,205. There were 282 seatteriinr votes. The Senate Nava! Committee has decided not to transfer naval officers from the retired to the active list, except on recommendation of the Secretary of the Navy. A hksi’Atcu from Memphis says that the extensive dry goods house of HoweLl, Wood & Near, of that city, “has been forced into bank ruptcy by Philadelphia creditors. ” At an election in Baltimore, yesterday, col ored votes were refused on the ground that there had been no time tor them to register. There is some talk of contesting the election in consequence. • A PfwoHKEEPSiE despatch says that the Sheriff yesterday served another attachment against the Boston, Hartford and Erie Kail road, to satisfy a claim of $BO,OOO. This makes claims by the Sheriff "to the amount of $1,104,000. After the adjournment of the. Supreme Court at Washington, yesterday, Chief Justice Chase heard an application to dissolve Judge Underwood’s injunction against Ellison, hi the Richmond Mayoralty trouble. Associate Jus tice Nelson was present at the hearing. Elli son was represented by Judge Meredith and Hon. James Nelson; Gaboon by ex-Governors Wells and Wise. After hearing the arguments, the Chief Justice held the matter under con sideration. The remains of General Thomas arrived at Troy, N. Y., yesterday morning. They were received by a committee of citizens and laid in state at St. Paul’s Church, Generals •Sherman, Sheridan, Meade, Granger, Mc- Dowell, and other army officers, are in Troy. The funeral is to take place to-day. Presi dent Grant, Secretaries Belknap and KobesoU, Commissioner Capron, General Horace Porter, General Dent and Commodore Alden left "Washington yesterday to attend the funeral. lx the Canadian House of - Commons, on Wednesday night, Sir John A. McDonald stated, in reply to a question, that the Govern ment was fully aware of the gravity of its posi tion as regards the Red River trouble. The Dominion authorities were in constant com munication with her Majesty’s Government, and both were in accord as to the necessity of retaining the Red River country, and asserting law and order there. For this purpose a course had "been agreed upon, which, he was sure, would be carried to a successful conclusion at no distant day. Veto of the Great Railroad Scheme. Governor Geary yesterday sent to tlie Legis lature a message vetoing “An act to facilitate and secure the construction of an additional railway connection between the waters of the Susquehanna and the great Jakes, Canada and the Northwestern States, by extending the aid and credit of certain corporations to the Jersey . Shore, l’ino Creek and KufTalo Kailway Com pany,'and in like manner tb aid the cofistrnc tion of the Pittsburgh, Virginia and Charleston Railway, the Clearfield and Buffalo Railway, surd the Erie and Allegheny Railway." The bill was returned without the Governor’s approval, because it violates the Constitution: and it is against sound policy. The sections of the Constitution which he holds to be vio lated are the jiotli section of Article I.; the Bth section of Article XL, which, forbids “log-roll ing legislationaud the -fib, sth and 6th sec tions of Article XI., relating to the Sinking Fund, the inviolability of the moneys therein, the disposal of the proceeds of the sale of the public works, the prohibiting the loan of the credit of the Commonwealth to corpora tions, and forbidding the State to assume the debt of any corporation. The reasoning of the Governor on these constitutional points is very able, aud sufficient to justify his action. He then presents the following reasons for the veto on the ground of expedieney, apart from the legal objections: “It is possible, however, that different views may lie entertained as to the leg:U question in volved. I have, therefore, deemed it proper to submit the following propositions as conclu sively establishiug the inexpediency of this scheme. . “ First—By the terms of the act tlie State is to exchange six millions of bonds ($6,000,000) secured by a mortgage upon a road worth many times that amount—-for six millions <$0,000,000) of bonds to be issued by a com pany as yet unorganized and whose road is not yet commenced. “Second—The contract of guarantee 're quired by the bill is illusory, for it is uncertain who is to execute it, and if entered into by re sponsible parties it binds them to nothing ex cept the construction and equipment of the contemplated road. The manner in which the road is to be constructed and equipped is wholly unprovided for. Upon this vital point •the bill is entirely and ominously silent. “ Third —The interest upon the six millions ($6,000,000) bonds to be surrendered is payable, according to a recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, in gold. The in terest on the bonds to be received would be .payable in currency. i “ Fourth —The State is now receiving upon the bonds to be surrendered four hundred and sixty thousand dollars ($460,000) per annum; and under existing laws is entitled to receive that amount annually, until the whole be paid. If the contract of guarantee mentioned in the hill were performed to the letter,the State could only receive three hundred thousand dollars ($800,000) per annum for the nost three years. The loss, therefore, to the revenue by this ex change would be one hundred and sixty thousand dollars ($160,000) annually for the first three years, and thereafter the whole amount would be lost unless paid by the pro jected road. “ Fifth —Other bonds to the amount of three millions and a half dollars ($3,500,000), most amply seemed, are to be exchanged for second mortgage bonds on a prospective railroad, the liist mortgage being already authorized for sixteen thousand dollars ($16,000) per mile, at seven per cent, interest.” “ ISr.i'th —it tnay well be doubted whether the proposed road from Jersey Shore would be a success. Almost overy new road through such undeveloped regions has experienced a period of insolvency. The connection of the .State with similar enterprises presents a sad history of disappointment and failure, of which the Philadelphia and Erie road is a conspicu- ous illustration., .The competing roads already in Existence render the proposed security en tirely bazardons,if not worthless,” i “ Sevehth~A» alreadyMatcd Th my last an nual mdssagej a large’ambunt of the debtor the Commonwealth will shortly fall due. Dur ing the next three years over nine miliioris of dollars ($9,000,000) will mature. Should the securities now in : the Sinking 1 Fund be ex changed for unavailable bonds the State could not meet hef just This would lead to tbese would in time impair our credit. ‘ The people.hayeideclareil and have the right to expect that thp debt shall bo-paid off is provided in the Constitution, • and their taxes reduced. . 1 ! “Eighth —This bill proposes to remit the State to the pursuit of apolicy of public improvements by which Jn years past she' identified .hereelf with enterprises of doubtful expediency, arid which her citizens have with great unanimity condemned.” ‘ Hon. John Bigelow on HcnnmarchnlN. Mr. Bigelow read, on the evening of the sth instant, at a meeting of the Historical Society, a paper on the part taken by Beaumarchais in the revolution which separated the United States from Great Britain. He said: There are few who have not heard of the “ Barber of Seville,” and still fewer, jierhaps, who know anythingof the part played by its author in the straggle of the American colonies for liberty. Beaumarchais, although , a man of wit, was also in some degree a political philosopher, and took a warm interest in the cause of the revolted colonies. He sent ovgr to us vessels loaded with what we needed to cany on the war with the mother country, and expected to receive in turn tobacco, or some other commodity, the produce of our continent. In this he was disappointed. The supplies he liberally furnished were impor tant—indispensable, in fact; we took them gladly, but it seems that he never received even thanks for them. At a later period -a claim upon our government was made by his heirs, and after long debates and delays a very inadequate compensation was allowed them by Congress. The. history of this part of Beaumarchais’s life was circumstantially given by Mr. Bigelow, who justly.remarked that he must be placed high among those who came to tho aid of our country in the hour of its greatest need—one of our unrewarded arid ill-used benefactors. The account of the ex periences of the agent sent by Mr. Beaumar chais to this country, after be found that no return was likely to be made him for the sup plies be had forwarded, was made by Mr. Bigelow quite entertaining. Eorly Fint Confirreas—Second Session. The United .States Senate, yesterday after noon, passed the Income Tax bill, as follows: “ That sections 120, 121, 122 and 123 of the act of June 30, 1804, entitled an act to provide in ternal revenue for the support of the Govern ment, to pay the interest on the public debt, etc., as amended by the act of July 15, ISOG, and the act of March 2, 1867, shall be con strued to impose the taxes therein mentioned for and during the year 1870, and that all such taxes shall he collected in the manner how or hereafter to be provided by law.” The House of Representatives went into Committee of the "Whole, and considered the Tariff bill, but made no final disposition of it, however. „ IMPORTATIONS.
