Tho value of our xlitifftl yst.-m was nnver .otter displayed than in what U just now psning in the West. It has been all along flipoBsiblo to convince the workingmen that (Jieir plan of securing a much money and leisure as they need by cutting down their bor by one-fifth was delusive. Having once gut hold of the idea, and having secured for it the attention of politicians and nominating 'conventions, they made up their minds to embody it in legislation at all hazards. The arguments of the political economists they treated with utter indifference, owing to the V'idely diffused nation that political economy and its laws are inventions of capitalists and their friends for the spoliation of the poor. Jiiscussiou of the matter was, therefore, use Jess. What was wanted was actual experiment em a scale large enough to display all that is rssential to the process, and yet not largo enough to .serir.usly damage even for a day the national industry. Our State system sup plies, as no other government in the world ilocs,' all that is necessary for such an experi ment. If the eight-hour movement had sprung lip in France or England, and had taken seri ous hold of the majority, and the Government Jad been forced into trying it, as the provi sional government in l'aris was compelled, in 3 JH, to try the national workshops, it would Ji.tve been necessary to try it all over the country, and the loss and damage and dis lin banee caused by it would have been almost 5u. alculable. Here delusions of this nature siiD pretty sure to reach a crisis in some one Muto before the others, and the Legislature Susies at the experiment. The rest of the country then pauses and looks on; U it ends 511, the agitation everywhere dies out. The jwl.'ticiaus laugh and wink, and their dupes look cross, but go back quickly to their every day work. In the case of some of the popular move ments, of course, experiment is unfortunately impossible. If the Fenian movement, for in stance, could have been submitted to a crucial lest on a small scale, it could not have sur vived half so long as it did, or have relieved the poor of so much of their cash, or have dis graced so many Republican orators and editors. Jf, for instance, one iState could have been friven up for a few weeks to Fenian goveru jiient, the defects of Fenian institutions would Jiave been made so plain that even the repor ters of the Tribune and the Herald would have jmited in the protest against handing over either Canada or Ireland to the tender mercies of the "sons of thunder" who preside over the destinies of the Irish Republic. But the eight-hour question being luckily a domestic tjuostiou, it has been possible to put it into the crucible of State legislation, and exhibit the Jesuit to the public at large. It may seem strange that actual experiment fcliould be necessary to convince men that nothing would be gained by enacting a law prohibiting a man from working more than eight hours a day unless he pleased, or that, jf capitalists in one place were forced to give s much for eight hours' labor as capitalists in other places gave for ten hours' labor, they ,Vvould take their departure; or that, the amount of wages depending partly on the aggregate amount of production, partly on the number of laborers, a laborer could pocket the same wages while doing less labor. Yet f o it is. The experiment had to be tried; only In this way could the elementary truths which the newspapers have been preaching to the y orkingnien for the last two years be brought lioiue to their minds. They will now see how the thing works, how industry is affected by 5t, and how utterly irreconcilable it is with any sound social system and there is little doubt that this will be the end of it. The experience of Illinois and Missouri will save the other States much loss and annoyance. 3iut we see in all that is happening not only fresh arguments against the eight-hour law, lut in favor of co-operation as the only Jemedy for the troubles between labor and capital. Fol;iical economy is not taueht in our Schools, and it is not the kind of reading to j Vhich the mass of the people take readily in I after life. Therefore, we despair of seeing, at least for a long time to come, the economical errors which most beset workingmen dissi pated by reading or reflection. But actual experience would dissipate them, and in a country which is, as ours is, largely governed Jiy workingmen, it is of the last importance that they should be dissipated somehow. If therefore, laborers could be put, as they Would be put under the co-operative system 5n the position of capitalists, they would see for theniselveB where wages come from, what the necessities of capital are, how it is created iiow preserved, how lost; and they would get over forever the notion, which is at the bot tom of the eight-hour delusion, that the less a laborer can work the better for himself, and that allothat he can wring from capitalists Whether by threats or combinations, is so jnuch clear gain. Co-operation is, in short, the next great step in the education and social elevation of workingmen; and all lovers of the country or the race ought to hasten its adoption by every means in their power. Regulating Travel. J Yom the Times. A Railroad and Steamboat Convention has Ieeu in session at Cleveland, Ohio, during the present week, ostensibly for the settlement of existing difficulties respecting freight. If the ileliberations of those assembled culd be expected to prevent the recurrence of such a conflict of interests as that which fell out be tween the Erie and Central Railroads at the close of navigation last year, the publio might reasonably hope to be to some extent gainers Judging from the past history of these con tentions and it does not run a long way liack if the corporations interested gain as little aa the toll-paying multitude have usually pained, .ne conierences of railway ana steam Loat men can hardly amount to a ereat deal. The meeting of two classes of publio carriers 5n a common council need not. necessarily. indicate an alliance inimical to fair competi tion, and, therefore, at varianoe with the in terests of the community at large. And yet it Jhas happened that steamboat and railroad companies running on parallel lines of travel liave been often enabled to maintain hiili tariffs by a combination which, although it jnight be in a sense legitimate, certainly did jiot minister in any degree to the publio welfare. . ' a;. 41, a tm hnft Tint frilled in nttm.t V1 AJ , inu - - - v the attention especially of businesa men, who are alike interested m naviug as iew ureas: a as possible in the carriage of frelgh to diataut points, and in keeping charges ' TUK DA1LT within moderate' bounds, that on almost every occasion when the inc orporated camera of the country meet in convention, the-first thing they do is to oloso their doors. Those uninitiated in the mysteries of railroad and steainloat directories cannot be supposed to know all the reasons which would make an open convention, and a discussion in the hearing of the public, undesirable or im proper. But this much in known, that secret conventions of any kind do not appeal very stiongly to public confidence, least of all do Kriet conventions which charge themselves with the regulation of great business con cerns. , They too often suggest something clof-ely approaching to a conspiracy. They are alien to the rules of commerce proper, and nt variance with commercial usages in their brond and legitimate interpretation. To that extent, therefore, a private discussion of carriage rates, and of the regulation of freight lines for the season, by a rival class of carriers for such many of the delegates to these con ventions are must always create more or less distrust. In a narrower view of the business which such bodies as this Cleveland Convention set themselves to, there is ground for comment. Some exceptional line of road sufficiently inde pendent to stand aloof from all combinations may choose to be unrepresented at these meetings; it may choose to do its bargaining directly with the publio, without any under standing w ith other lines, and to hold itself responsible for whatever share of the carrying business on its route conies naturally in its way. Such a line is generally sure to bo tabooed in a railroad or a steamboat confer ence. That has been the case at sundry times in former years. We do not know positively hat it is the case this year. But it happens that one great central railroad line has so far fallen under the dis pleasure of the Cleveland Conventionists, that its financial standing, like that of a shaky banking-house, is discredited by a formal reso lution of the Convention requiring all connect ing railroad companies represented at the conference to demand from it prepayments for every description of freight. There may, possibly, be special reasons for thus assailing, by concerted action, the credit of a great cor poration, whose standing has been equal to that of the average leading railroads. But in the absence of such light as might have been thrown upon this particular subject by an opm, preliminary discussion, the resolution referred to has a scaly appearance. It is, moreover, as injurious to the character of such conventions that they should engender suspicion by their methods of action as if they actually do what can be proven to be injurious to the public interests. If those who, in the summer season at least, are more or less competitors for the inland carrying trade of the whole'country, deem it for their interest to meet, periodically, in a common convention for a general discussion of their bu.iiuess, well and good. Let them meet, and deliberate so far in public at least that the publio shall know what they are about; how they combine or cooperate, and how all this is consistent with a due regard to public economy and convenience. The Napoleonic Dynasty. Vow the Herald. There is no doubt of the fact that, at the present moment, the position of the Emperor Napoleon is more critical and precarious than it has been at any period since the foundation of the empire; and that from without and within influences seem to be concentrating towards him which he may find too powerful to ward off, and which may result in his removal from the throne. When, in his famous Bordeaux speech, the Emperor de clared that "the empire was peace," the sove reigns of Europe, frightened at the revolution which in '4s had swept like a tornado over the Continent, were willing to compromise their antipathy for the jiarvenu who had seized the reins of power, for the prospect of quiet which the empire and the Emperor pro mised. It is not to be supposed that the llapsburgs, or the Romanoffs, or the Ilohen y.ollerns, or even the scions of the House of Hanover, with their inborn ideas of legitimacy and "divine right," were willing to accept the admittance into their anointed family of a man who acknowledged his position as quite as much the result of "the national will" as of the "crrace of (Jod." excepting as a choice between two evils. On the one side presented itself the propect of anarchy and revolution riding roughshod over tottering thrones and among flying monarehs; on the other the promise of "peace," and the great influence of France to preserve it. The newly made Emperor would, they hoped, be satislied with the limits of French territory as they then existed, and abandon, if he had previously en tertained, any ambitious projects of aggran dizement, and would generally, aware of the fickleness of the French people, seek, as he had promised, to turn their minds from the pursuit of arms to the conquests made by peaceful labor, and to join with the other Bowers in maintaining and preserving the tranquillity of Europe. But what was the fact ? Two mighty wars soon followed the inauguration of the "peace ful" empire, in both of which France, although not attacked or directly interested, took a part. The ambitious designs of the exile in America, ana Switzerland, and England, the projects onceived and nursed bv the rtrisoner in bis lonely cell at Ham, had only been postponed, inn auanuouea. i ne doctrines of " nationali ties" nd " natural boundaries" as danger ous to the Other Kuiotiean nnwura in uomu cases, as they might be satisfactory in others were inaugurated, and France, pushing her uouudanes southward to the crest of the Alps, nas exhibited also a disposition to advance them eastward to the borders nf tli m,in. The treaties which bound old Europe the Em reror Napoleon has declared broken bv tbn force of events, and unworthy of respect, and Europe, in return, convinced that therA 1j i,a reliance to be nlaced nnon the Kiniwmr'ii promises, is disappointed at the result of the empire, which, instead of ensuring stability, has kept the Continent in a continual state of alarm and fear of war. Europe is satisfied that so long as Napoleon occupies the throne of trance there will be no security for peace, and Europe is ready, if not fully prepared, to coalesce against him, as it did against hia uncle. Jn France, as well as out of it, Napoleon has lost mucn oi ins reputation. He came into power witn the prestige of a great name. I'rompt in action and reticent i n Riveecli. he acquired a reputation for judgment and ability amounting almost to a faith in his infallibility. The lucky star which, after guiding the uncle to victory, had set behind the rocky ateepa at St. Helena, had, it was believed, risen acrain to light the nephew to a brilliant future, of which France should share the glory. Lavish momisea of much needed reforms were made. and France, delighted with universal suffrage the empire'a gift accepted the empire with joy. But France has been disappointed. It has discovered that the Emperor is after all but mortal, and liable, like Other men, to errora of Judgment, and costly one3 at that EVENING TIMGR Aril PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, The sad results of the Mexican expedition, and the manner in which he was out-gene-rnlled by liismaik, have done an infinite deal towards destroying the prestige of Napoleon. A growing dissatisfaction with his manage ment of internal afl'airs expresses itself in murmurs throughout France. Franco has found, ns Europe has found, that no one bet ter than Napoleon knows how to "speak the word of promise to the ear, and break it to the hope." Trance is becoming tired of being held in leading strings, and wants more liberty and the reforms which the Emperor promises. The professed liberty of the press and the right of meeting turn to ashes before even they reach the lips of the hungry and expectant people. The terrible army conscription takes from the field and from the workbench the flower of the i-rencli youtn, and the new project for reor , ganization will make every man a soldier. Extravagant expenditures have entailed heavy taxation and high prices, and in Paris ' nearly fifty thousand workmen of different i branches of trade are "striking" for living j wages. The Einperor will, with all the ele , luents of discontent now existing in France, j risk much in the war which now seenm inevi- table. Should be win, the French love for ! military glory, the French admiration for suc cess, might be sufficient to cover over his I flowing unpopularity and give him a new lease of power. But should he fail 1 In such a case, it is more than probable that the dis- cordant elements now exhibiting themselves t in France would combine against him, and that the French people would demand, and assort I in their usual manner their demand for a change of rulers. J Free Speech in the South. , Prom the Tribune. The fact that eminent Republicans are now traversing the South, speaking in exposition and advocacy of what are termed radical prin ciples and measures, does not seem to be re garded with a favorable eye by the former monopolists of political discussion in that sec tion. Some of them fear that the negros will be drawn away from work just when famine and the season conspire to urge general dili gence; others fear that the blacks may be im pelled by these speeches to insist on confisca tion, etc. etc. The Wilmington Dispatch of the 4th instant rather discourteously warns oil the trespassers as follows: THKY AKK COMING, KATHKlt ABRAHAM.

These men mean mischief. Their efforts at s eechmaklnt; cannot, in any possible view, remit in good, and must be productive of harm, nnd harm only and they will do more to prevent tue work ol reconstruction than all the unrt generate Kebels in tue territories. It would not be a bad idea for the authorities Inlownose charge the work of reconstruction has been more particularly committed, to sug gest to those ranting and restless agitators that their services on the stump could oe dis pensed with in the South, and that they might better themselves, their country, and per haps their God, by subsiding, lor a brief sea sou, into retiracy. if there ever was a period in our history when brawling demagogues and blatant politicians should keep silence, it is now. The Dispatch will, we trust, on reflection, think better of this matter, and evince more decided courtesy and hospitality. Parties are necessary in a republic. Their absence ar gues general indifference to public well-being or the prevalence of despotism. Let there be i free and full discussion; let all be heard, even ' Bollard, who wants to lecture on "The Chi , valry of the South." Of course, he may say words that were better unsaid; but let him say , them; he will feel better for being rid of them, and nobody else can be much worse for it. If I the military are too strict, let him come here ! and lecture, and let all who will pay go and hear him. We do not uphold the utterance of rank treason in States under military rule; ! but let the treason be manifest before it is harshly dealt with. We assure our Southern ! friends who have but recently been reconverted ; to Unionism, that they will like free discussion much better after they shall have become used to it. It ft". Davis Something to be Done -with iliin at L.anl. From the Herald, By order of the President, and witnessed by Chief Justice Chase, and attested by the Chief Clerk of the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Virginia, the army officers having in custody Jell'erson Davis are com manded to produce him in person before said Circuit Court on Monday next, "to do and receive what shall then and there be con sidered concerning said Jefferson Davis." Under this order we are informed the prisoner will arrive in Richmond on Sunday, still' in military custody, and, at least till produced in court on Monday, will be kept in Libby l'rison, where apartments will be assigned him. Tliu I'liiimlnv rinuctinn novf rfmu will iliara lie a trial, and if yea, under what statute f and who will be the presiding judge? Properly, Qi tdia T?iiliTrmrwl Pmirt. id IV, a tf-itvmit n( '.'if Justice Chase, he ought to preside; but it is understood that, although he may be present to give his advice if called for by the prosecu tion, lie still declines to hold a Court in a dis trict subject to military law. Then the Circuit Judge, Underwood (a most extraordinary ex pounder of justice), will be the head of the Court. In this event another postponement of the trial for six, nine, or twelve months is just as likely as anything else. On the other hand, in the event of a trial, it is thought probable that the prisoner will place himself under the treason punishing and confiscation act of Con gress of 18U2, which gives the discretion to the Court, if the accused is tried for and con victed Of treftftnn in nu.l. nnt l.a nnnlnl.mnt in lieu of death, of a live years' imprisonment and a fine of ten thousand dollars; and if irieu mr rebellion and convicted the penalty of ten years' imrrian,,,.., . ,. thousand dollars, with the additional penalties m each case of the liberation of all hia slaves, if possessed of any, and the forfeiture forever ?f !

He has been a sort of white elephant to the Gov ernment ever since his capture, and the sooner they get rid of him on any terms, or without any terms, the sooner all concerned will be relieved of an unprofitable and trou blesome customer. Hints on Hauling. Verm the Tribune. We remember a kind-hearted old man who was wont to relate how one fine morning he rode accidentally into a town in which au exe cution, as he was only then and there in formed, was about to take place. "I put the braid on," said he, in his homely way, "and I was out of that town in loss than ten minutes." This was somewhat different from (ieorge Selwyn'a taste. He had gone over specially to Paris to witness Damien's racking ; and, after all, the crowd was so great that ho could not get near the scaffold. Upon his ex plaining his grievous disappointment to a Fiench soldier, that polite warrior cried out at once: "Make way for Monsieur I lie is an Fhiplishmau and an amateur 1" The amateurs of the gallows are not all dead yet; and many of them experience Mr. Selwyn'a difficulty without encountering an equally polite official. The unlucky persons who would enjoy the spectacle most are the very ones who are most sedulously kept out. Thus, upon the execution of Aulgus, (ioetz, and Case, the other day, at Cincinnati, the sacrificial solemnities were much disturbed by thousands of enthu siastic amateurs, who howled for admis sion to the jaii-yara, ana wno , uowied in vain. They danced, they raved, they swore. they pleaded for their share of the fine moral drama troine on inside; but they were snubbed by sheriffs, and they were sniffed at by polioe- men. until they are said to nave grown abso lutely "ferocious" for the religious instruc tion of the rope, which was strictly monopo lized by about one uunarea ana nity disciples With three to hang, they might at least have hanged one outside as just a taste, a morsel, a sop, a tub to the wnaie, a specimen, a solace just a little better than nothing. But they didn't. The one hundred and a half consti tuted a kind of close corporation of the faitlu r . 1 : 1 . l . It 1 1 i oi me cervical iiiicnue. many were cauea, but few were chosen, which was fun to the few, but misery to the many. The clergy men in attendance should certainly have gone out and made little speeches, describing i the inside mysteries, to the mob. It would have been pleasant and profitable to have had direct intelligence from eye-witnesses com municated with all possible celerity. Mobs are not very sweet-tempered at the best; and we fear that the "thousands" on this occasion went home with more whisky in their stomachs and more sin in. their hearts than could pos sibly have been good for them. What made the matter all the worse upon this occasion was, that a new gallows of peculiarly in teresting construction was employed a machine which is described as a model of art in its own fascinating way. "It consisted," we are told, "of a platform with a double door trap, which fell upon the touch of a pedal communicating with a lever below. A stout beam ran across the gallows, and to this the ropes were attached." it was erected under a large tent or pavilion. A patent gatlows, three ropes, and a pavilion 1 No wonder the excluded mob were mad t Then, again, the conduct of the condemned men would have been like witnessing a fine sensational drama, such as the multitude delight in. Ooetz cried out, "Heada up, boys! Let us die like men I" "Case danced forward laughingly, and had to be restrained for decency's sake." This reminds us, with the speech of the hardened boy that he wanted "to die by two o'clock, to be in time for the train," of Macpherson's F'arewell: "Sae rantingly, sae wantonly, Sae dHuntiugly gacd he; lie plny'd a spring and dane'd it round, Below the gallows-tree." "We'll die like men," said Aulgus, in re sponse to (ioetz's appeal. All this is very frightful. The priests furnished the piety, and the men furnished the pluck one might have hoped that the distribution would have been a little different. Perhaps it was as well that the populace was kept outside. They would only have seen, if they had been admitted, how easy it is for bad men to die a shameful death, without fear and without flinching. Most persons, good or bad, die decently when death is inevitable; and it is not true, as a general rule, that those who are executed exhibit any terrors particularly dis tressing. These three culprits suffered for the crime of murdering a clerk for the sake of hia money. But the same dissolute course of life which liad educated them, for murder, har dened them for the gallows; and the dull, brutal, besotted soul, which kills for filthy lucre, is not of a nature to experience any ter rors at the prospect of death and judgment. We object to these executions, because they are not even the examples which they pre tend to be. A man with a homicidal heart does net, day by day, plan a special gratifica tion of the murderous instinct, he succumbs at last to temptation and opportunity; and when these are too strong for him, they are also too strong for the dread of a possible B tribution. He does not weigh the chance of the gallows at all, when he has determined to strike. If he kill in a chance-medley, his ap prehensions are certainly no quicker. It is the special vice of his character that he is not in the habit of weighing consequences how then can the fear of the gallows govern his actions, more than any other fear 1 The fault is in hia reason, and in his perverted faculties how then shall reason guide him even under the influence of a rational fear ? How spe cially shall it guide a boy like Case, not fifteen years old, and with the vices of fifty 1 There is nothing better settled than that the love of crime, and the gratification of passion, ia stonger than the fear of the gallows. The ex perience of mankind has deprived ua of our best argument in favor of it ; but we go on hanging murderera because we do not know what else to do with them. Some t.Tie, we may discover a better method of disposition.
