THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 18C7. THE NEW YORK PRESS. Editorial omnoNB op thr lkadiho journals CPOK CURRENT Tor-ICS COMPILED EVERY DAT FOB THR EVENING TBLKOBAN1. Work nd Wages. From the Tribune. The journeymen composing the regularly Organized associations or guilds of several trades in this city have resolvod to strike for higher wages on Monday next. This fact evokes the following suggestions: I. Every man has a right to hold his labor or its product at suuh prioo as he shall see fit, subject only to the laws of the land. He has a right to agree or combine with other laborers or producers not to sell below a given rate, whether that rate be reasonable or not. If he asks, or they combine to exact, too much, the general public will thereby be annoyed and embarrassed; but the chief loss will fall on the extortioners, as it should. II. The workman or guild abandons the ground of legality and right the moment ho or they attempt to force, coerce, or intimidate others into uniting in or deferring to their demand. If, tor example, any coal dealer in our city should see lit this day to advance the price of his coal to $10 per ton, and refuse to sell for less, he would be Justified in so doing. If he could induce every coal dealer in or near New York to agree with him not to sell below that rato, they would violate no law by such agreement. But let them go a step further, aud conspire to repel or obstruct the receipt of coal by others, and its sale below their arbi trary price, they would become law-breakers and publio enemies, and must be dealt with accordingly. III. It is commonly asserted that labor is less amply rewarded here than it formerly was. This is not according to facts as we have ob served them. We came to this city in the autumn of 1831, when our country was gene rally prosperous, taxes light, and publio debts merely nominal, and when no considerable war had for over sixteen years wasted the substance of our people. The average rate of mechanics' wages in our city was then less than $9 per week in our trade (printing) de cidedly less. Now, the average wages of me chanics in our city are not below $18 per week. True, the cost of living has considerably in creased meantime; but not nearly so much as 100 per cent. Coal rose to $1(5 per ton in the winter of 1831-32, and was higher, on an ave rage, thirty to thirty-five years ago than it now is. Pork cannot le 50 per cent, higher now than it was then. We doubt that the woollen fabrics which constitute the staple of our mechanics' wear are at all dearer to-day than they wore in 1831-2; they surely are not 25 per cent, dearer. Rents are considerably higher; but a man may live four to six miles from his work, yet reach it as cheaply and almost as quickly as he then could from a distance of two miles. Many articles have been cheapened by the progress of invention and improvement. For instance: The news papers sold in 1831 for the present price of the Tribune did not contain half so much non-advertising matter as, and were got up at a tithe of the cost of, this journal. Yet we pay for labor hereon 50 to 100 per cent, more than was then paid for similar labor. IV. There is, and ever must be, a strong current of labor setting towards the cities. Wisely or unwisely, almost every young man in the country would like to spend a year or SO in a city, whose theatres, concerts, proces sions, celebrations, splendid edifices, etc. etc, excite his curiosity and attract his regard. A capable, efficient, diligent mechanic, being Single, can earn more, and obtain more enjoy ment in a year in a city than in the country at all events, ho thinks he can. And, so long as human nature shall remain what it is, every year will bring thousands of young mechanics to the cities. V. With marriage and children there comes a decided change. The wages whereon a single man can live sumptuouslyvwill barely and fru gally support an average family. When his children, who can earn nothing, number half a dozen or more, the mechanic, unless he has saved something in former years, can barely exist whon in full work, and is a pauper when out of work. Such, briefly stated, are the , conditions under winch mechanical labor is performed in our city. . VI. It seems, therefore, . to us that if the journeymen in any trade are about to strike a measure which we by no means advise their only rational hope of success in that movement rests on their ability to induce a very large migration of their members. If, for example, ten thousand of our older jour neymen, who find their expenses fully up to tueir incomes when tney do their very best, could be induced and enabled to migrate to the new States, where their labor Is in quick demand, and where though wages are lower than here food, fuel, timber, and house room are very much cheaper, the projected Strikes might have a chance of success. In any other case, they seem to us doomed to inevitable failure, and to prove injurious to the public, but especially calamitous to those who embark in them. Judge the Tie by Its Fruits. From the Tribune. General Wade Hampton, in the course of his recent able and clever address to the blacks assembled at Columbia, South Caro lina, says: I do not tell you to trust to professions of friendship aloue, wlietlier tney come from tlie Southern man or the Northern. Hut what I 1 ask you to do is that, as we profess to be your friend, you will Rive us the opportunity of showing, bv our aotlons, whether we are sin cere or not. If we deceive you, then turn to the North, and see if you can And belter friends there. I have no (ears of the result; for with us not only does humanity dlctaiekiud treatment, lionest ileiilinir, Just laws for the colored population, but self-interest demands from us the same course. A stronger prejudice has always existed at the North against your rwioplethan here, aud it exists Btill. Acurioug Instance of this prejudice came under my own observation wine years ago in Philadelphia. pBHslna UirouKh that oily, I bad with me two servants, for whom full Jure was charged on the railroad; but the ticket agent told me that they would not be allowed to ride in tbejame car with mvself. us the people there 'did not like to ride with negroes 'But,' said I, 'you make me pay full price for them, and one of them Is the nurse of my children.' lhat makes no difference.' he replied; 'you Jan talis lliom Inln I lift nnr." I told him t llftt I llftU paid their fare; that I thought them good enough to ride with me, and therefore quite good enough to ride with bit fellow-citizens, and that they should get Into my car. Ho I brought them In, and kept them there." This is excellent and just. We thank General Hampton for his manly, pungent rebuke of Northern infidelity to iNorthern principles. It was richly deserved, and will do good, And now we ask him to state explicitly to the next meeting of negroes he addresses that, Sjnce he visited Iliiladelphia, an act has been passed by the Legislature of Pennsylvania which compels every railroad to carry every sober, decent person who may seek a passage, irrespective of his color, "without partiality and without hypocrisy," and that this act passed by a strict party vote every Demo crat doing his utmost to defeat it. Will General Hampton be thus candid f Let wait and see. us The Future of the United (Mates A Hint to the Republican Party. From the Herald. When, in the yet distant future, time having rolled away the mists of prejudice through which we are too apt to contemplate the things of the present, the history of these United States comes to be wisely and impar tially written, the crisis through which the nation has passed, aud the crisis on which she has entered, will form two of its most inter esting and most instructive sections. In treating of the first of these crises, it will de volve upon the historian to trace to their roots the various causes which at last exploded in a gigantic civil war ; to relate how, for a time, that war threatened to rend the great republic in twain, and how, contrary to almost univer sal expectation, and after almost unexampled sacrifice and 8uffcring,the Rebellion was finally and effectually suppressed. Nor will it be possible for him, in summing up the results of that fearful struggle, not to speak in terms of lofty eulogy of that political party to whose wisdom and energy aud self-sacrifice and indomitable perseverance we mainly owo it that the republio has been preserved entire, and that never at any former period was its Hag more respected, or its destiny more pro mising. The character of the other crisis lies, as yet, hidden in tho womb of the future ; but it will be well for tho lasting reputation of the Republican party if, at the close of this second period, their record shall prove to bo as illustrious as it was at the close of the first. It cannot be fsaid that the course which events have taken since the suppression of the Rebellion has exclusively encouraged such a hope. The history of the dominant Re publican party since the close of the war has unfortunately, in too many particulars, re sembled tho history of dominant and success ful parties in all ages and in all nations. United, vigorous, patriotic so long as they are beset by a common enemy, they have too often become a prey to division, to weakness, to selfishness, the moment the enemy has ceased to resist. It was when the energies of the nation combined and successfully repelled a powerful foreign invasion, that the French republio revealed its greatest vitality. It was directly when that enemy was gone that the republio revealed its greatest weakness. The passions and prejudices anil petty rivalries of sections and individuals, which were stilled and restrained so long as France was threat ened by a foe from without, burst forth with destructive violence as soon as the foe disap peared; and the French republic was ruined by enemies from within. If the republic of the United States is free from such danger, and can look forward with hope and confidence to a prosperous and glori ous future, it cannot be said that we are in debted for our security and hopefulness to the lofty wisdom, the unfailing good sense, the noble and undivided aims of those in whose hands the government of the nation has been vested since the close of the war. The debt under which we are laid to the Republican party should not blind us to their faults. The general course of American politics, the say ings and doings of American statesmen, the unseemly exhibitions which are daily made within the halls of Congress, and the demorali zation which has set in with a powerful cur rent, and which is characteristic in a greater or lesser degree of both of our great political parties, are in the eyes of the world in the last degree dishonoring to the American Union, and to those noble institutions of which we have so much cause to be proud. It is im possible, indeed, for any one interested in the honor and welfare of his country to contem plate the present aspect of things but with feelings of pain. There is one section of politicians to whom the nation is beginning to turn its eyes wjjth a hopeful confidence. The more conservative of the Republican party, who have long been in the minority, are already making their in fluence felt. Now is their opportunity. If they would give a new tone to aud take the lead of the party with whom they have been acting, or if they would organize a new party on a broader end nobler basis, they never can have a more fitting opportunity. The nation is sick of strife and division. Wiser and more temperate counsels are needed. The change of feeling which has taken place in the South seems to have begotten a corresponding change in the North. Restoration cannot be more anxiously longed for in the one case than it will be heartily welcomed In the other. By dint of skilful management North and South may soon be knit together in the bonds of a happy Union. , But the crisis is delicate. Extreme mea sures may mar and ruin the whole. Wisdom and caution are in the highest degree neces sary. There is no party whose counsels are more suited to the occasion than those of the conservative Republicans. . Their is the op portunity if they will only embrace it. If they fail to take advantage of it, it is impossible to predict into what disorganisation the Republi can party may be thrown, or what may be the parties and measures of the future. If they seize and prove themselves worthy of the occasion, they Bhall have the honor, not only of restoring the Union, and thus of wiping out the last trace of our unhappy domestic divisions, but of building up a great and powerful party which shall control the desti nies of thia nation, and guide her in her on ward and upward pathway of prosperity and glory for at least the next half century. Reconstruction In the South, Prom ttie Timet. The appeals of Brown, Longstreet, Lee, Patton, Hampton, and other prominent Southerners are producing a marked impres sion upon the press and people of the South. The change which has come over the popular heart within the last six months is marvellous. When, last autumn, the Savannah Republican and a few other journals less than half-a-dozen all told ventured to recommend the ratification of the Constitutional amendment, they spoke apologetically, with "bated breath and whispering humbleness." The publio temper would not tolerate the idea of submis sion. It was proud, demonstrative, defiant. See now the dillerence ! A writer in the Mobile AJvertUer asserts with ill-disguised disgust that more than one-half of the South ern papers are counselling compliance with the requirements of the ConcreHsional dan. and that a still larger proportion of the people lend willing ears to the advice. The fact is not surprising, considering the political and military standing in the Rebel lion of the men who are most active in urging muTitmi(ifi of the t referred tttni ti. itaiuicrh (N. C.) logrm declares that the most eeal- ous advocates oi action under the Sherman bill are officers and privates of the lata Con federate army." It adds, what we are quite prepared, to believe, that the greater part Of those whoarfl known as "Rebel leaders," are, privately, advocates of action, but abstain from publio demonstrations lest their motives and the movement itself bo exposed to misappre hension. Confirmatory evidence upon this liead is furnished by the altered tono of the writers and politicians who persist in oppo sition. Their former insolence has Imen dropped. They no longer dictate the course to be pursued, as with authority. They are now the suppliant parties, and the oharacter of their entreaties indicates the consciousness that the people will yield in spite of all ap peals to sectional hate and pride. From talk the moderate men are proceed ing to effort. Movements for a convention are aloot in Alabama; North Carolina is not many steps behind; and in tho Louisiana Senate, where recently the mere mention of concession was scouted, a proposition for an address to the people of the Stato, urging them to regis ter themselves as voters under the Military bill, has been introduced by Mr. Kennor. Who Mr. Kenner is, the New Orleans Time tells, lie is "one of the largest slaveholders" in Louisiana. His bill, the Picayune states, sets forth the result "at which the great majority of the intelligent minds in the State have arrived." What is this result? It is, in brief, that the notion of passive resist ance to the military scheme should be aban doned; that the agitation for carrying the contest to the Supreme Court should be dis countenanced as practically worthless, and as tending to keep alive ill-feeling; aud that the people should forthwith accept the law as it stands, as an authority not to bo appealed from, and as the only available means of per fecting the restoration of the Union. These circumstances are entitled to atten tion at the hands of the Senators and mem bers who are about to enter upon a crusade at the South in the interest of the Republican party. They will commit a serious mistake if they adapt the tone of John Knox to Ame rican politics, and scold the Southern people as deserving the fire and brimstone of the radical party. The Southern people are enemies no more, and the apostleship that will be of real service among them is that which shall convince them ot the good faith of Congress in propounding the military scheme as a finality. Senator Wilson, who, we observe, has commenced bis labors in Vir ginia, is a suitable avant-coureitr. Pronounced, earnest, consistent, he is withal tolerant and practical; and if those who follow him share his discretion, the effect of their expositions of Republican policy and opinion cannot be otherwise than beneficial. One of our corres pondents the other day likened the zealots ! ot the extreniest faction to the pious Lindslcy, who Hogged his child to death because it would not, or could not, mumble out its prayers. Mr. Sumner would Hog the South to death if it could not take the oath of his concocting. But this is not the temper in which they who sincerely desire the reconstruction of the South should attempt to approach its people. Wilkes Booth's Diary. From the Worlil. If the whirl of strange events through which the country has been passing for so many years had not fatigued our faculties and blunted our capacity for astonishment, the facts divulged on the floor of the House by General Butler would startle and astound the publio mind. General Butler is the enfant terrible of tho Republican party. His prying curiosity, prompted by his restless malice, has penetrated the closest secrets of the party, and he blabs them with as little caution or tenderness as if he were not a member of the family. Having made himself odious, he seems willing that oihers of his party who ought to share his bad notoriety should get their deserts. We wish that General Butler had never been worse employed than he is of late in bringing to light "the hidden things of darkness." The fact is now at length dragged forth into publicity, that the Government, in the in famous conspiracy trial, deliberately withheld and suppressed, and either then or since have deliberately mutilated and mangled.ji most important piece . of evidence, which, had it been brought forward at the time, would have excited a keener interest than anything pro duced at the trial. It comes to light, at this late day, that there was found on the body of Booth a diary, in which he had set down from day to day all the particulars of his mad en terprise, giving a complete history of it from its inception to its catastrophe. And this was deliberately withheld from the Military Com mission Bitting for the trial of his associates 1 Nay, a studied and discreditable attempt was made to hoodwink the Commission and deceive them into the belief that the Government were practising the most unreserved frankness in relation to the things found on the body of Booth. Even an article so insignificant aud irrelevant as a tobacco-pipe found in his pocket was gravely presented for the inspec tion of the Commission,' the Government thereby conveying the false implication that everything which they knew, even to the minutest circumstances, had been faithfully brought forward. And now it turns out that, behind all this ostentation of frankness, they were concealing a complete history of the whole transaction, recorded by its chief actor ! This deliberate dishonesty, this artful and studied deception both of the Commission and the country, this concealment and burial of evidence, is the most damning circumstance of that disgraceful trial. Mr. Bingham's defense will not stand a mo ment's scrutiny; but we infer from his remarks that, although he knew of the existence of the diary, he was not allwwed to inspect it. As nearly as we can gather by inference from his statement which, by the points selected for denial, betrays the points where denial was impossible Mr. Bingham was furnished with only a transcript of such parts of the diary as the War Department chose to trust him with. Stanton, having determined to mutilate it, had an obviouB motive in having as few witnesses as possible to its original condi tion. The mistake made by Bingham in relation to Butler's tioksppbIoti nf tlm rlinrv. furnishes an unintended link in the chain of circumstantial evidence. Butler, for the sake of illustration, took from his pocket aud held up to the view of the House a diary like that found on the body of Booth. Bingham, by a momentary lapse of attention, misunder stood Butler to sav that what he exhibited was the diary of Booth, and with eager, impatient curiosity he again and again asked for an opportunity to look at it. His refusal to allow Butler to make an exnlanatinn wmtrvt),...,? fh illusion. His fcrror on tliia -rtmuT mai.i iiim cautious in his denials, lest he should be con-' irouiea anu coniounded by ocular domonstra. tion. ii ue naa ever seen una o-ni th diary he would have known what he could saieiyujurm uu wnai Barely deny, na pro , bawy got ins iirsi Knowledge .of its mutilation from Butler's own statement; and dealing on , the sudden, with so awkward a state of facts, he made an unwitting revelation of things he WOU1U Jiavc taut ivuuuaiuu. ' The mutilation of the diary had teen mHde before it came into the hands of the Govern ment, or it had not. If the eighteen miiising pages were gone when the Secretary of War first saw it, and Mr. Bingham was cognizant of that fact, he would have exculpated himself, and exculpated everybody, from Butler's damaging imputations, by stating that fact, in clear and explicit terms. He durst not make such a statement, for he did not know, fiom his own inspection, whether it was true or not, and tho probabilities ' were all against it. But Mr. Bingham saw, as everybody must see, that nothing else could clear the Govern ment; and so he insinuated as a hypothesis what truth did not warrant him in stating as a fact. In reply to Butler's accusation of "spo liating" the diary, he said: " Who knows" (lie evidently knew nothing on the point himself, one way or the other) "that it was spoliated t Jj John Wilkes Booth tore pages out of it, was that spoliation ?" This is the language of a ppeaker feeling his way in the dark; of a man who sees what the defense ought to be, but knows not what it is. If the diary came mutilated into the hands of the Government, instead of putting it as a hypothosls, why not state it as a fact f Only one reason is con ceivablehe did not know it to be a fact. And yet, if it was a fact, his connection with the trial as chief manager entitled him to know it; and had it been true, it is against all piobability that it would have been with held from him. If the diary came into Stanton's hands whole, and wai afterwards mutilated, it is easy to see why Bingham was not peimitted to inspect it. He might make troublesome inquiries, which Stanton did not wish to answer. Considering Mr. Bingham's relations with the parties, the fact that ho suggested an exculpatory hypothesis whon, had it been in his power, he would have made a plump denial, fastens the mutilation on the War Department. Although Bingham does not know the facts about the diary, he evidently suspects them, and cautiously confines all the positive part of the exculpation to his own individual agency. Observe how cautiously his state ments are worded: "I defy him to show that any communication ever came into my hands purporting to bo," etc. " never saw any memoranda by which John Wilkes Booth," etc "I challenge him to assert that spoliated any book." "The gentleman knows that 1 was not the official organ of tho Court." Mr. Bingham prudently limits his strong denials to his own participation and knowledge. He dares not assert either that tho diary was not mutilated by the Government, nor that its missing pages did not contain important and pertinent evidence. lie certainly knew at the time that there was such a diary; lie certainly lent himself to the dishonorable, nav, tho foully disgraceful. trick of blindfolding the Court into the belief that everything found on the person of Booth having the slightest pertinence to the case, had been faithfully submitted to their inspec tion. Mr. Bingham's defense on this point is apitiful legal quibble. He says that the evi dence which he withheld was a statement made by the criminal after the fact, and was therefore not admissible. This may be true of the transcript furnished him from the diary, but his argument cannot apply to the fact that such a diary existed. Had its existence been known to the Court, they ought to have called for it, and doubtless would have called for it. It was for the Court, not the accusers, to judge of its value as evidence. Had it come into Court as a fragment, its mutilation would iiave been inquired into and traced to its source. If there were things in it which were not pertinent as evidence, there must, from the nature of such a record, have been other things which were pertinent; and it was the business of the Court, not the aocusers. to do termine which they were and what weisrht to give them. In all the scandalous transactions of the last six years, we can recall no thins; Bothoroueu.lv and atrociously disgraceful as , this trickish attempt to deceive a Court sitting to try reopie lor their lives (one of them a woman). and to deceive the country and the world. who were watching the proceedings with tho thrilling interest excited by the assassination. whose exact history they were anxious to learn.
