Lono before the con 11 lot between oapital and labor ever found expression in words, it hai been recognized as one of the most difficult problems for practical solution. The interests of master and man seemed to be fundamentally at Tarianoe; and as skilled industry elevated the laborer Into a higher grade of intelligence, he became more keenly aware of the difficulty of adjusting his relations with his employer, and the old ohronio dissatisfaction ripened into that rebellion of reason that has assumed such strange forms and advooatedsaoli diverse theories of remedy, especially in Kngland and France. - Much literary foroe has been enlisted in the eanse, and the theoretio abstractions offered as solutions of the praotioal diffljulttea have been often crnde, and sometimes even comioal in their misapprehension of the neces sities of the case. Tboee who hold the hopeful creed that the world is growing wiser by experience, see strong proofs of their theory in the various co operative movements instituted by the labor ing olasBes. An Infinite number of "societies" are alieady established, even among the lowest Industrial ranks, in which the member by the payment of a small sum is assured of a main tenance during illness and a respeotable burial. There organizations are very numerous, espe cially in oities, among those operatives who de pend solely on the day's wages, and have suffered bitterly from the inseoure tenure of employment and the frequent fluctuations of trade. Necessity has compelled the distressed workman to find refuge in some scheme o( mutual support, and the stern logio of suf fering has driven him to a step which the wisest eoonomist must accept as admirably adapted to the most essential needs of hu manity, and a truly philosophic foundation for more complex organizations in the future. In these simple forms of association is struck out the first great idea of mutual defense. The onion of laborers in such a cause is, however, but a more peaceful form of the old antago nism against capital; but these very unions are susceptible of growth into that species of asso ciation in which the only peaceful solution of the old difficulties can be found a system which unites within itself both capital and labor, and harmonizes their conflicting inter ests by making one person at the same time the employer and the employed. The experiment in Rochdale, Eogland, ha3 been so successful that it is worthy of study, and its history is curiously typical of the whole question from its slight beginning, and the cause of it, to its present complete suooeas. A number of flannel weavers had lost all the hoarded savings of years by the dishonesty of an offioial in a savings' bank, and, disheartened and almost despairing, they sought for some gurer plan that would secure them from suoh calamity in the future. They were only twenty-eight in number, with a oapital of but one hundred and forty dollars. They deter mined to rent a store, at an outlay of fifty dol lars, and invested the rest of their capital in stocking it with groceries. This was their humble beginning, or, as it is expressed in the statistical aocount of their venture, "Tiie Rochdale Equitable Pioneers oommencad ope rations in 1844, with twenty-eight members, twtnty-eight pounds, no business and no profits I" In 1845 the membership had increased to seventy-four, the funds to one hundred and eighty-one pounds, the business to seven hundred and ten pounds, and the profits to twenty-two pounds. Steadily has the petty experiment expanded, year by year attracting additional workmen to cast their mite into the treasury, until in 18G7 they reported 6823 members, 128,435 ..funds. 284,910 business, and 41,619 profits ! No mere money value can express the bane fit derived by the operatives of Rochdale from this industrial nnion. In the language of one of its members: "They are weaving their own stuffs, making their own shoes, sewing their own garments, and grinding their own corn. They slaughter their own cattle, and the finest beasts in the land waddle down the streets of Rochdale for the consumption of flannel-weavers and cobblers." By sending experienced buyers into the bust markets of the kingdom, the community secures a supe rior quality of all needful commodities; and by plaoing their business in the hands of com petent and honest men, they secured to them selves the fair value of their wages and de fended themselves against commercial deceit. A simpler form of co-operation has been esta. blished in Edinburgh, and has been in success ful existence for seven years. It is styled the Edinburgh Co-operative Building Society, the members of whioh build their own houses, thut creating employment as well as a means of invtxtment. A deposit of 5 only is re quired, th payment of the rest ef the pur' chase money being spread over fourteen years, the puroWser oooupying the house durlDg that period an paying for it by instal ments. Four hundred houses have been built by this soolety, and dividend 0f from seven and a half to twelve per cent. We been ap portioned among eight hundred and vbJrtj-3lx shareholders. In America, although our great internal, improvements exhibit the advantages o( "common stock" movements, and many of the conveniences of every-day life arise from similar unions, more intimate sohemea o' fraternization have not beoome popular. The habits and feelings of the people seem to be still tinged with that pioneer instlnot that oarried our fathers into the forest solitudes, self-sufficing, and independent of all social bonds. Nothing but the deepest destitution drives an American into sharing a house with his neighbor, and it is only when it beoomes doubtful whether he can keep a roof over hU head that he submits to give np his solitary abode. The system of dwelling in "flats," so long established in Bootland, and so universal in Franoe, offers great advantages to persons of moderate means; and yet the soheme seems to have no attractions to Amerioan society, although, as a nation of travellers, we are well acquainted with the feasibility of the arrangements, and are loud in our complaints of the burden of high rents. We have learned the strength that lies in the nnion of money, and we are also tettlng the valae of association in the various sohemea that assure the individual against loss by fire, accident, etc A nnion of hearts and hands in patriotic duty has made as a great nation, but we have yet to solve that other union for common defense whioh can be made to do so mnch towards assuring his daily bread to eauh individual. The unions among laborers, as they now exist, are too often prompted by a narrow and selfish spirit of antagonism. The short sighted bigotry that impels them to regulate apprenticeship so stringently as to exclude youth and talent from their ranks, in the blind belief that suoh exolusiveness will be advantageous to themselves, may bring them a trifling profit in the present but oertain defeat in the future. Tyranny in any form arouses revolt and causes its own downfall, and the guild will suffer for the orime as surely as the Czar. It is only in such movements that harmo nize the interests of labor and capital that peace can be found, and it will be long before mankind will be ready to freely aooept this only certain solution. An ctponknt of universal suffrage has quoted with great emphasis the declaration of "Junius," that "No person is entitled to a political right till he has learned how to use it; no man is qualified for a trust till he knows how to fulfil it." This great veiled politioal prophet was high authority in his own day and generation, but the spirit of his diotum is singularly adverse to the whole theory of a practical democraoy. The United States Gov ernment has been from its very beginning a practical experiment, for it has undertaken to teach the people how to govern themselves by making them their own governors. If the doctrine of "Junius" be correct, we have been wrong from the initial steps, for the great men who laid the foundation of our Government were totally nnskilled in the art. The ropnb. lio was incorporated by bands of oolonlsts, ignorant of all the complex maohinery of national organization and management, and boldly assuming duties of citizenship whioh they had never fulfilled. Yet the world has learned through our example that the citizen learns his duties in performing them, as the art of swimming is learned by striking out boldly in the water. Cause for Relief. The Indtptndance Beige, a French journal whioh is not published in Faris, else its very title would be a mockery, recently had the assuranoe to assert that the precocious Prince Imperial had said: "When I become Emperor I shall not allow any one to be without rtligion I" . Here was grave cause for alarm. The gay and frivolous world of Paris was in consternation. The Prinoe Im perial may be called upon to exeroise the hereditary functions of sovereignty at any day, for the health of his august parent has long been shaky, and every now and then a would-be assassin is deteoted in the overt aot of premeditating an attempt upon bis life. Politically speaking, Franoe is anything and everything but free; but from a moral stand point the utmost liberty prevails. It is true that Napoleon III is an exemplary son of the Church, and that Franoe under his rule has risen to the proud dignity of "the eldest daughter of Rome." But the aotual praotioe of the faith which the nation affects to pro . fess is a vastly different thing from the mere affectation of its profession. The grand nephew of the Emperor's uncle, however, proposes to effect a radical ohange in this regard. No sooner does the Imperial crown rest upon the brow of Napoleon IV than he issues his dictatorial edict, by which Father Hyacinthe is to supplant Schneider, and Notre Dame to beoome the centre of attraotbn on Sunday in place of the Bois de Boulogne. Fancy the vivacious Frenchmen and the giddy Frenchwomen giving Sjhneider the oold shoulder and pouring in crowds to the pulpit wherein Father Hyacinthe holds forth; imagine the Sunday afternoon races entirely sup pressed, for the sake of enforcing a full attendance at vespers in Notre Dame. Not a very agreeable prospect for a Frenohman to contemplate. Lighter gilevanoes have barri caded the streets of Paris and filled the fau bourgs with a wild, blood-thirsty mob. But the sagaoiouB ruler of France fully appreciates the danger of permitting suoh a holy horror to pervade the minds of his subjects. It has been by the exercise of an equal sagacity, under even more trying circumstances, that he has been enabled to render the empire a fait accompli, and to oement the foundations of his throne without an extravaganoe of blood-letting. So, inspired by the geniui whioh has accomplished this heroulean task, the offioial journal gravely announces that SO suoh words as alleged by the Indpendance Z?efyever fell from the thoughtless lips of the Prinoe Imperial, and Paris experienoss a sense of relief as universal as it is profound. "Wben. Napoleon IV aaoends the throne he will not attempt to revolntlontxe the empire by insisting upon and enforoing religion as one of the distinguishing features of modern French character. Happy France ! Rosecrane Again. "Thk Minister to Mexloo" still carries "his heart in his hand," and he has not yet started for the Halls of the Monteiumas. When lait heard from he was astonishing the natives of Brown oounty, Ohio, by his profaulty and hld intensely military air. Still "filled with solicitude," he has not recovered from his recent epistolary attack. "Indispensable duties," however, prevented hfm from attend ing the conclave of "White" Boys in Blue held recently in Indianapolis; but his belief "that our free institutions and highest mate rial interests are in grave peril" led him to respond to the invitation of General John Love who is General John Love f to be present, "by stating what he thought the most vital jssues before the publio in the approach ing Presidential eleotion." Tne solioitade of General Roseorans still oentres on the "brave, energetic, and self-saoriflolng men1' of the South. He is anxious that they should be restored to "hopeful, oheerful self-government," suoh, we imagine, as prevails in the neighborhood of Camilla, Georgia. For fear that our readers may be inoliued to regard this epistle as a forgery, we will reproduoe a portion. The rambling, incoherent vein of solicitude whioh pervades it will dispel all such doubts. Thus: "Restore them this" "hopeful, cheerful, wholesome self-government" "and as oer talnly as day follows the sun our politioal stability will be assured; our finanoial pros perity will speedily follow; the value of pro perty in the South will inorease; our publio securities will go to a premium; our green backs will become par; coin and currency ao counts, with all their evils and complications will disappear from the books of our business men." The "Minister to Mexloo" then prooeeds to recount at some length the vital necessity of this "hopeful, oheerful, wholesome self-government" on the part of the South, and then solemnly and emphatically declares that he "holds" the man who would not express and aot upon convictions similar to his own "a traitor to himself and his country!" These words have the true Demooratio "White-" Boy-in-Blue ring. Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Meade, Sickles, Howard what a string of in famous traitors, to be sure ! Lee, Beauregard, Hampton, Forrest what illustrious, high minded patriots thy are ! Reynolds, Sum ner, McPherson, Birney in what an unholy can&e they laid down their lives t When a soldier deserts his colors, what a ranting rene gade he becomes I what a stench in the nos trils of all honest, loyal men 1 The treason of Benedict Arnold was not more infamous than this. Another Democratic Thick. Mr. James Bt Nipholson does not stand the ghost of achanoe ugoUiug Into Oongrcoa. Ilia friouda vuufoss this, and seek to turn it to good advantage. Mr. Nicholson is an Odd Fellow. So are a great number of Republican voters in the Fourth District. The modus operandi is this. An ingenuous Demoorat buttonholes a Re publican Odd Fellow, confesses that Mr. Nicholson will be defeated, argues that he is a good fellow as well as an Odd one, and urges the Republican to compliment him with his vote. "It cannot possibly affect the result, you know," and so on. Now, it is soaroely possible that Judge Kelley's majority of over 2400 in 1866 can be pulled down to less than nothing in this fashion, but every vote thus lost to him is lost to the great cause whioh he represents; and if his majority should be lessened by 500 in this way, the result would be heralded by the Demooraoy as an evidence of distrust'on the part of Judge Kelly's con stituents. The device is a neat one, and worthy the great genius of Mr. William A. Wallace, with whom doubtless it originated. h may be that the same trick may be at tempted in other districts, and it beoomes incumbent upon Republican voters to be on their guard against it. Demooraoy and des peration are synonymous terms, and despe rate men will be guilty of desperate deeds. Wilkins I Wilkins has been heard from officially. We had begun to fear that such would never be the case. But now there lies before us the offioial report of that portion of Wilkins' speech which so aroused the wrath of Lieutenant-Governor Doyle that he was obliged to Inquire into its truthfulness. The Nova Sootian Governor was needlessly alarmed. In faot, Wilkins is so very tame that we oonolude not to publish him verba tim. Wilkins simply asserts that he will not tolerate the abjeot condition of slavery under the rule of the profligate politicians of Canada. Wilkins' ancestors probably flourished in Acadie, where profligacy is, or was, unknown All that Wilkins asks, is that the constitution of Nova Sootia should be restored. His solitary wish is tolive under the soeptre of his sovereign. But on that one point Wilkins is firmly fixed. Therefore, he "does not fear to say that if, within the next six months, steps have not been taken to do us j ustice, the people will no longer submit, but will be foroed to do away with the injustice of which it complains, and to reconquer the constitution whioh it holds dear." While Wilkins is not so fieroe by half as we expeoted to find him, he is far from being calm, and it is barely possible that there is trouble brewing for those who do not, within the next six months, fall Into his way of thinking. When a man becomes infatuated with "the Constitution as it was," there is no suoh thing as foretelling the desperate deeds that he may dare and do. Witness the me lancholy case of Andrew Johnson, right at our doors. If Wilkins is destined to be the John son of Nova Scotia, we are moved to sorrow both for the country and the man.

Merit Is onlycomparatlve; and when we oome to Judge of the much-vaunted oomedlesof the good old times when aotlng was aoting, you know by the beat literary standards, It Is not easy to see wherein their superior excellence consists. It la undeniable, however, that no plays have been produced of late years that will equal them, and when placed beside any ordi nary effort of the modern play-wrlght, with its dilated dialogue, meagrely-drawn charaoters, thin veneer of sentiment, and tricks of stage machinery upon whioh last Item is plaoed the main dependence for suooesa the superiority of the old plajs Is apparent to the most superft clal observer. The perfection of sceulo appli ances and stage mechanism at the present time has bad no little influence la making managers, actors, authors, and audi ences less critical in regard to the literary quality of the dramas which are brought oat nowadays; and, In addition to this, novel read ing has In a great measure superseded play going as a lashlouable amusement; and the talent which at one time was devoted to the theatre has been transferred to the Held of notion. The novel writers, however, are now beginning to orowd each other; and it is a ques tion worth considering whether some of the literary ability of the day might not with ad vantage and prod I be devoted to the task or adding to our stock of standard dratnalto works. There Is no better paying investment at the present time than a suooessful play, and modern society and manners afford a field for the dramatist as prolific lu characters aud Incidents as any previous age. Mrs. Inchbald'a W'vet at They Were and Maids at They Are is a good average specimen ol an old English comedy. There Is a oertain family resemblance about all of this olass of plays, aud the productions of Mrs.Inob.bald havetns meilt at least of being less open to objection on moral grounds than many more celebrated work. A vein of sarcastic bumor runs throUga the comedy under consideration, and, without being remarkable for wit, the dialogue Is al ways animated, sparkling, and lively with repartee. The characters, too, are well denned, and they afford the actors opportunities to show what abilities they have In them; and no the least excellence of the comedy Is that the moi al Is healthy, and as apphoable to the soolety of the present day as It was to that of half a century or more ago. There was a Blight want of vim in the per formance last evening, but, on the whole, It passed off smoothly and to the satisfaction of the laige audience present. Mrs. Drew gave a ciipltal personation of "Miss Dorrlllou," and her acting, as It always Is, was brilliant and vivacious. Mr. Barton Hill, who sustained the part of "Mr. Bronzly," shared the honors of the evening with Mrs. Drew. Mr. Hill has some trifling faults of elocution whioh we would like tosee him get rid of If possible, but his acting as the gay.daHblDg.good-iooklDg, good-hearted-and good-for-nothing rake was so exoellent Ifaat we have no disposition to complain of his minor deficiencies. Mr. Everly as "Sir William Dorrlllon" had a rather ungracious and difficult pari, which he pel formed very creditably; but ' Mr. Everlv also has somewhat of an Impediment In bis speech, which appears to have commu nicated lUelf to his wals:, and which 11 Is worth Ills while to strive to correot. Mr. Maokay was an efficient representative of "Lord Priory," and Miss Price, as "Lady Priory," was fitted with a quiet, lady-like, aud agreeable part that Just suited her. Mrs. Clara Fisher Maeder Is also entitled to a word of commendation for her personation of "Lady Mary Raffle," and Mr Wall is for bis intelligent acting In the minor role of "Oliver." Mr. James, who appeared as 'Sir George Evelyn," has much to. learn before he can be accounted a good aotor. His walk and attitudes are extremely stiff and ungainly, and his speech Is so thick and hurried that It Is Impossible to hear more than one word out of three that he utters. Mr. James' faults of man ner and elocution are more prominent now than they were a year ago; but we should not think It a very dim cult matter for him to overcome them so far at least as to move about and stand lu easy and unconstrained attitudes, and to speak with a reasonable distinctness. We have . seen Mr. James act some parts very well, and a little painstaking In the matters we have mentioned will, we are sure, not be lost upon his auditors, or be unappreciated by them. The part of "Mr. Norberry" was assumed by Mr. M. B. Bnyder, one of the new members of the company. More animation Is what this gentleman needs more particularly. The audience last night were hearty In their applause. The actors were cordially weloomed as they made their appearance on the stage, and tit the conclusion of the performance the curtain was rung up In answer to au Imperative demand. Mr. Lauder an "Elisabeth." Last evening Mrs. F. W. Lander appeared at the Walnut Street Theatre In the role of "Eliza beth, Queen of England." It was a matter of surprise with those who witnessed Hlstorl's great personation of "Queen Elizabeth," that a oharacter so full of salient dramatlo points had never been brought upon the stage before. A careful readei of history, however, will readily understand the difficulties la the way of pro duclug a play with anything like a consecutive plot from the Incidents of the greatest English Queen's reign, and tbat, while bsr charaoter Itself was as strongly drawn as oould be desired the mere Incidents of her career were scarcely of themselves of a kind available for stage pur poses. Giacomeltl, however, having the greatest tragedienne of the age to be fitted with a part soiled to her eminent abilities, overcame the difficulties of his task by dispensing with a consecutive plot, and giving imtead a series of tableaux in which "Elisabeth" was the most prominent figure, and whioh would serve to bring out all the lights and shadows of her many slded-oharaoter. Whether his portrait la strictly aoourate, or whether he Is always historically oorreot, are matters of comparatively little moment, for on these points men will probably differ until the end of time. It Is sufficient that we reoognlze the general features of 'Elizabeth" as the historians and romanoers have depleted her, and that a new role has been created which affords a sum. petent aotress opportunities to display the whole range of her abilities. Mrs. Lander Is. perhaps the only lady on the American stage Who has the neoessary talents and cultivation to take np such a part as this while UU tort's performances are still iresh In the minds of the publio, and that so little should be lost by a comparison with the Italian aotress Is remark, able, even to those who bad the highest opinion of Mrs. Lander's powers. It Is Impos sible that Mrs. Lander should not In a great measure be a follower of Itlstorl In her manner of rendering this role, and some of the variations whioh she has made in the stage t islnes,wlth a view of being as little of a eopy 1st as possible, are not always Improvements Thus In the celebrated scene where "Elisabeth" dlotates the two letters at one time, Bistort Is seated, while Mrs. Lander stands. It certainly appears more natural and appropriate that the "Queen" should be seated while engaged In such an occupation, and Mrs. Lander might with advantage, also dispense with the "aside" conversation with "Essex," whioh seems to us to be a little overdoing the matter. These details, however, are after all pretty muoh matters of taste; and, while expressing our opinion, we are not dis posed to quarrel with the aotress If she prefers to differ with us. With . regard to the great merits of her porformanoe there Is but one opinion, and we have so often spoken of It tn terms of commendation, tbat a general refer ence to It Is all tbat Is neoessary at the present time. Mr. J. H. Taylor, as the "Earl of Kex," rendered a very efficient support to Mrs Lander, albeit be is still little too muoh Inoliued to rant at limes, aud the other charac ters were fairly represented by the company of tbe Walnut, "Undine" at the Cheimat. Our old acquaintance, The Naiad Qwenf turned np last evening at tbe Chesnut Street Theatre under the title of Undine. After all, The Autad Queen la about the best of the speo tacular olass of plays. The story la romantic, It admits of good aotlng, and It Is oapable of any amount of scenic and terpslohorean Illustra tion. After the splendots of The While Fawn this piece does not appear as brilliant as It would under ordinary circumstances. The ballet, however, is the great attraction after all, and the fine troupe that have been performing at tbe Chesnut for weeks past appeared last evening In a number of new danoes. Bonfuull. Sob Ike, and Utile Schlsger were as graoefal and fisolnnting as ever, and tbe Brand ma roll of Amazons, whioh In times past was one of the principal features of the speolaole. wits well executed.
