Baltimore Making "Wry Faces. Important New Dominion Advices. Disgraceful Scenes in Parliament Etc. Ktc.i Etc. Etc., Etc, PROTECTION TO LABOR. letter from General Butler How Working Men Lire-Bncgestlons for the Benefit of tbe Masses. The New York Stantlard publishes a letter lrom General Butler to Wendell Phillips, dated May 3, from which we make the following ex tracts: It eeems to me that the time has now come for the interference of the Legislature in the investigation at least of the limit of the hours of labor, and the limit of the employment of youth, to determine how far it is best for the mate that its children shall be deprived of an opportunity for education and training by the employment of its young life in accumulating the gains of selfish parents or adding to the proQts of equally selfish capitalists; also, what safeguards ought to be placed around the lives and limbs of the operatives engaged in managing huge and powerful machines, where a false 6tep or a false motion may cost the life or limb. On this very necessary and important subject our sta tute books are wholly silent, while the laws of England are dotted all over with penal enact ments to preserve the persons of the laborers from accident. Also, to inquire as to what may be done to insure a fair division of the rewards of labor as against the profits of capital. In a word, that the law may intelligently do in this most important relation of life and business what it ought to do, and does do in almost every other step in and restrain the strong from crushing the weak, and protect the needy against the promptings of avarice or the cruelty ol selfishness. Let the capitalist remember that, tinlike Eng land, here the vote of the laborer controls capi tal in legislation, and that if capital desires to preserve itself from unjust legislation, it must be because labor wields the ballot with intelli gence. Let capital also remember that abuses, if any exist, in its relations with labor, cannot be hidden, and may grow all the more magnifi cent in their proportions from being partially unknown. A wrong understood only to be felt as a fear, is always the most terrible. The voter, uninstructed, will act upon exaggerations and erroneous impressions. The capitalist will refuse the amelioration of evils of which he neither knows tbe extent, nor perhaps the ex istence; and, therefore, collision with the ope rative because of them is inevitable. When that collision comes, the -faistory-of all govern ments shows, capital goes to the wall. Such is the universal result of the struggle of the few, however powerful, against the many, who are etill more powerful in their numbers. We must remember that there are now form ing all over tbe country labor associations, some of whom, feeling what they deem to be and perhaps rightly the injustice of the distri bution of tbe rewards of labor between the capi talist and the operative, are demanding legisla tion that shall control the rate of interest upon money even to the breach and repudiation of contracts already made. Others insist that taxa tion shall wholly fall upon capital, and that it shall be reached by the short and sure method of the abolition of the public debt, for the pay ment of the interest of which taxes are now necessarily so heavily imposed. Other asso ciations of laber have deemed it necessary for their self-preservation to refuse to in struct in the art and trade those who are not members, so as to prevent wha. they claim to bo extortionate reduction o wages by the employment of labor outside of the association which the capitalist can oppress. All these questions are pressing to-day upon the Republican party of Massachusetts, who have for ten years, and will, if guided by wisdom, for many more years, control the legislation and the destinies of the Commonwealth. Now, we know that Massachusetts ideas, Massachusetts statistics, the education of Massachusetts people, quite considerably impress the legislation of the whole country. In everything that depends upon statistical information, in everything that depends upon accurate and thorough knowledge of the details of the subject under con sideration, Massachusetts has taken and must still take the lead. But above all, being the pioneer State in manufacturing enter prise, she must settle for herself and for the country the relations of labor and capital em ployed in manufactures. The Republican party of Massachusetts cannot afford to deny the de mand of the operative for shortening the hours ef labor, unless it can show the laborer who is quite intelligent enough to understand facts tnat will justify such refusal. lie will not take the arbitrary exercise of the power 90 to do for a sufficient reason for its exercise. The .Republican party of Massachusetts cannot afford to refuse to incorporate the co operative and other associations of the great moss of laborers who are engaged upon the leading manufacturing product of the Commonwealth, the shoe and leather business, because they deem it necessary to combine as against capital for any purpose, unless it can show by a full exposition of the actual facts that such incorporation and such association are not requisite for self-protection, and that all the protection necessarily needed as between capital and labor, and all the adjustment of the rewards between them, can be accomplished by laws applicable to both. THE COLORED TOTE. It Fore la Delaware, Maryland, and other fslateo-Tho Work to bo lonr. There are believed to be about 4000 colored voters in the State of Delaware, and as the Democrats heretofore have had majorities of from L.00 to 2500 ouly, a vigorous campaign la to be tet on foot in that Bute by the Republi cans. 1 be same is true of Maryland where they estimate the colored vote at 30,000 to 35,000. Maryland, it will be remembered, gave Seymour 32,000 majority, and the Republicans now think they t an overcome it with the new voters. The Washington Mar says: It is understood that Sella Martin, John M. Laugfeion, Professor of Howard University, Charles II. Peters, Collins Crusor, aad other colored speakers of this District, will canvass the Bute of Delaware, and address themselves more especially to voters of their own race. Also that Postmaster-General Ores well, and Mr. Richard Harrington, of the Washington bar. will take part in the canvass in that State. One result of the overthrow of the Democracy in Delaware will probably be the displacement of Mr. Saulsbury in the United States Seuatc by Judge Fisher. And should Judge Fisher go to the senate, Mr. Harrington may, perhaps, suc ceed him as District Attorney. It is probable that Messrs. Martin aad Lang- eton, and some others named, will also canvass the State of Maryland. Should Maryland go Republican, Mr. Creswell's chances of political preferment will loom up prominently. In Kentucky the colored vote of 50,000, though not enough to overbalance the heavy Democratic majority of 70,000 given for Seymour, is still formidable enough to enable the Republicans to connt npon carrying several of the Congres sional districts. In some half dozen other States where the vote is close, the colored vote, though small, is a decisive element. In Connecticut the negro vote is about 1500, enough to carry it either Republican or Democratic, as the colored voters may choose; and as both parties in that State refused them suffrage, they are in a position to act Impartially. Indiana is another close State, and there the two or three thousand colored voters will very likely turn the scale, as will the ten thousand in Pennsylvania, the five thousand in New Jersey, the seven thousand in Ohio, and twenty thou sand in Missouri, and the twelve thousand in New York. THE NEW DOMINION. DlHurarefnl Proceeding During a Debate t'nnariliin Pacific Hallway-Red Klver News, Etc. Etc. A SCENE TH PARLIAMENT. Tuesday, May 3. In the House of Commons, this afternoon, there was a disgraceful scene among members during the discussion on the Northwest bill after it had passed a second read ing. Last night, during the first debate arising out of the introduction of the measure, the Hon. Mr. Macdougall bitterly attacked the Hon. Joseph Howe, the Secretary of State, and charged him with being seriously implicated in the troubles which led to his (Macdougall) being driven from the country he was sent to govern. He appealed to the House to grant a commit tee of inquiry, and said, with the utmost ear nestness, that he had witnesses he even had witnesses present in the House who would give complete and convincing testimony that such was the case. This afternoon Mr. Howe took the matter up, and after a number of very warm passages, referred to Mr. Macdougall's letters while at Pembina, characterizing them as mean, cowardly, and sneaking in character. There was a momentary silence at this outburst, and then a storm. The language used by excited members was certainly unparliamentary. A French member, unable to control his wrath, and at a loss for any subject of complaint against Macdougall, poured the vial of his anger on the head of Dr. Lynch, called him repeatedly a liar, and used other epi thets of a decidedly offensive character. Then an English member arose and denounced such language in the IZouse, and a scene ensued which beggars description. Suffice to say that the House took, tne extraordinary course or ad' journing till to-morrow at the dinner recess 8 (6 3, if o ciocKi. ro-morrow tne aeoate will go on members are sufficiently cooled down. NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD REPORT. Ottawa, Ont., May 3 The Special Commit tee on Pacific Communication, appointed by the Canadian Senate, has reported. The committee is of opinion that a railway with a gauge of two leet lrom a on w 1111am to itainy .bane, steam navigation along Rainy Lake and river to the end of Lake of the Woods, and a road thence to Fort Garry, form the most desirable and practicable route to the Northwest. With re gard to a Canadian Pacific Railway, the com mittee state tnat sucn a project nas Deen sub mitted to tbcm, but that it is so costly, and its Importance and necessity have been so over stated, that they have concluded that many years must elapse ere any consideration can be given even to projects lor 11s construction. 1 ne American party are juuuant. iney say mat every tie laid on the Northern Pacific is one vote for annexation. RUMOR THAT RIEL 18 ABOUT TO LEAVE THE RED RIVER COUNTRY A FILIBUSTERING EX PEDITION. Ottawa. May 5. A letter from the Red River states that Riel was about to flee the country. being afraid of tbe Indians. It is reported here that a number of volun teers are organizing filibustering expeditions in Toronto, and that the arrangements, which are of a secret character, are well advanced. It is said they intend to reach Fort Garry before the Government troops. The report is not gen erally credited. TUB NEW PROVINCE OF MANITOBA CHANGE OP BOUNDARY. Ottawa, May 5. In the House of Commons Sir John A. Macdonald explained that several alterations had been made in the Manitoba bill. The boundary lines of the Province have been altered, in order to include Portage la Prairie. The deviations of the boundary would increase the estimated population about 2000. So, in calculating the subsidy to be paid to that coun try, the basis should be 17,000 persons instead of 15,000. FIGHTING THE TIGER. The Aalaial Disgorge Over 835,000 to One ill an in A,e Than mix Weeks. There is a very stringent law against gam bling in Louisvisle, says the Journal of that city. Even the owner of the house is liable to a heavy penalty if he permits gambling on the premises. Apparently the law is enforced, and tbe authorities have no omciai Knowledge of any gambling bells, yet they flourish and thrive in many parts of the city. Some of them are con ducted almost publicly, any one almost being permitted to enter. Others are more private and select, only the favored few being admitted within their portals. The princi pal gains of the sharks are lrom clerks, mechanics, and other worKlngmen, who are lured to the dens by the hope of doubling their scanty earnings; nut in nearly every instance tbe hope is a ueluiion, and their hard earnings go to swell the coffers of the keepers, while perhaps their wives and children are suffering lor the commoneet necessaries oi me. in many rare instances, nowever, ine tables are turned, ana some "lucKy ieiiow wins large sums. though, as a general rule, it is again staked at play and lost, as the winner seldom has the good sense to lei wen enougu aione. uue or these rare instances, wnere tne winner was able to resist tbe temptation to continue playing and to save his winnings, occurred in this city last week, and has created great excitement in sport ing circles. The fortunate fellow is a young man who. during last winter, was compelled to ask shelter lrom tbe cold ol people wnom ne could not call frieDds, for then he had none. It is said that he could not borrow a nictel from anvbodr. as all who knew him thought be could not repay them on account of his extreme poverty, lie was so hard up at one time during the winter that be could not buy a shirt to wear, and for weeks went with his coat buttoned around the neck in order to hide the naked fact that he had no shirt. About six weeks since he got pos session of about five dollars, and, having no use lor so small an amount, thought he would try his luck at faro, and he acted accordingly. At the first sitting he won upward of t'iMO, and this gave him a start. He deposited nearly all the money securely, and returned to play the same bank another game, and at this sitting won about t70O, when the bank refused to allow him to play longer, and closed up. ne tackled the "tiger" in other cens again and again with the same remarkable luck until last Tuesday night. when, for the first time, the tide of fortuue chauged, and be lost ttiOO. At a subsequent encounter ne pocaeiea over touw. nis aggre gate winnings in the last six weeks amount to 120,700, and on yesterday he announced his firm determination to renounce gambling lorever, ana proposes to make gooa use oi tte money. lie gave an unfortanate brother 15000, and has invested largely in real estate. One good feature oi tbe affair is tkat, Ij lis fortunate streak of luck, several tigers have been severely crippled, and one or two entirely closed. It might be added that he is no longer shirtless, and has plenty of friends. THE "CHEMICAL" ENGINE. A Second Trial and a Necend Fallare. The Chicago Tribune of the 4th inst. says:- Yesterday occurred the second trial between the chemical fire engine and a steamer from the City Fire Department. The result was twofold more disastrous to the reputation of the chemi cal engine than the first. On yesterday the rival engines met on per fectly equal terms, the difference, if any, being in favor of tbe chemical, which nsed prepared water, its antagonist taking its liquid "plain." The steamer used by the Fire Department was of the same pattern as that used by the chemi cal engine, and they both played through the same sized hose. The day was a fine one. There was scarcely a breath of air stirring. The build ings to be played upon were the same as those used before, and which had been repaired for the occasion. The arrangements were so per fect that there could be no advantage takes on either side. Each building was fired by the opposite party, and the time which the building should burn before word was given to play was settled by the umpire. In each case the time was four minutes. The chemical commenced work first, and after the building was well on fire, began operations. In thirty-five minutes it bad subdued the flames, and time was called. But the building itself was in a terribly demoralized state. It had burned so much that the mere force of the water, during the last few minutes, when it was thrown in the building, threatened to bring the entire structure down. The east side was almost entirely demolished. About twenty-five minutes to five, the other building was fired, and, after giving it the same time to burn that was allowed to the first, the Chicago steamer turned its stream on the ter ribly hot building. So well did the Chicago's boys manage at the hose,and with the pipe, that inside of twenty minutes the last spark was ex tinguished; and when the smoke died away the structure upon which it had been playing looked but little tne worse lor its terrible contest with both fire and water. The management of the chemical had nothing to say to mitigate the defeat. It was conceded tnat lair piay iiaa Deen snown, and that the ru.es which were to govern the contest were perfectly observed. There was some plausibility in the assertion that the Chicago had better trained men, but this should be more than counterbalanced by the pretended difference in the effect of the water. Taken altogether the contest yesterday resulted in the most signal defeat on record. This chemical engine is worked by a force pump, and is not self-acting, its chemical effect is that derived from a solution of the sulphite of soda, taken up by the water as it passes through the engine. GENERALITIES. That's What's the Matter. The editor of the Easton (MdO Star ought to have the premium as a first class fool. It loudly proposes that the fifteenth amendment shall be expunged, ana mat -Diack lines snail do drawn around the iniquity." The Star had better have its head sponged instead. The fif teenth amendment will draw black lines around Democratic iniquity, sure enough. Wilmington vommerciai. A Queer Lawsuit. Rochester, Minn., has been the scene of a queer lawsuit between a merchant and a dis charged servant-girl, which terminatedjjj the discomnture 01 tne mercnant. a. tie gin sued tne merchant for her pay, and he bronght in a bill against her to offset it, charging her fifty cents per night for kerosene when her "cousin" called to see ner, ana one aoiiar per nigni eacn nignt she worked for herself after tho housework was done. Flourens and smaller. Mr. Smalley writes to the New York Tribune as follows: Letters were sent to my London address for M. Uustave Flourens, as stated in the Beauri letter, but the writers, contents, or purpose of such letters, and Flourens' plans or connection, it any, witn tne aiiegea piot, are utterly un known to me. I came to Paris voluntarily, on Sunday, where I shall remain, to answer ques tions, if any, as there is nothing in my relations with Flourens to conceal. Another Nessus. We believe Nessus has for a long time en joyed a distinguished reputation on account of that ntue transaction 01 mi in tne stun business, but at last Nessus has met more than his match in a man who dwells in the romantic village of Hopkinsville, Ky. This man had the smallpox and lived through it without changing his shirt. When convalescent ne gave tne garment to a colored woman to bury. But utilitarianism and temptation overcame her. She rave it a careless washing, and on the following Sunday her "ole man" appeared in all the glory of a white "biled shirt." In due time he was taken with smallpox and uied soon after, and, strange to say, so did five others who successively came into posses- ssion of tbe fatal garment. Nessus killed his one man, Ilercules, with an effort, but this Uop klnsvillian killed his half dozen without half tryins- .. uarioaiai as a ncnooi rrncacr. Garibaldi has undertaken an educational work in a quarter where it was sorely needed. The women ol Maddeiena, tne lsiana nearest his own, occupy themselves in making fishing-nets and preparing a material sesembliag silk ob tained from certain shell fish. Tbe objection to educating the women on the part of the male Maddelenians is, that if the women should know more than the men it would be "contrary to the decrees of Providence." But Uarlbaldl has opened schools for girls in Maddeiena and two other places. The first experiment attracted more pupils than accommodations could be pro vided for, since women and boys Insisted upon receiving instruction. After some interference by the authorities, be has succeeded in arraug- ing his schools so that each girl is ouly taugut during bait a day; there are two day sessions and one at night, and tbe last is attended by boys. There are 8000 inhabitants on these islands and not a book shop. Garibaldi asks for aid to carry on these undertakings, and appeals to the American people. There should be a hearty response. A tarrastle Caucasian. The editor of The Lexington (Mo.) Cawea- sian. who some weeks ago uttered a wail, a bowl, and a groan of despair combined over the ratification of the fifteenth amendment, or 'bedamneJinent," as be eloquently calls it. con tinues to indulge in weekly spasms on the same subject.

FROM JVEW IORK. The MeFurland Trial. New York, May 6. The announcement that the counsel for the defense would sum up to day attracted an immense throng to the court room. It transpired at an early hour that, for reasons unknown to the public, Judge Davis would not sum up for the prosecution, and that his connection with the case was thus virtually ended. This rumor caused much sensation among the friends of Richardson, and it was unhesitatingly asserted that outside influence had been brought to bear to preclude Judge Davis from summing up, as wasjbis Intention. When the Recorder had taken bis seat, the counsel for the defease commenced his closing speech amid breathless silence. Mr. Graham said thai for years the prWener had borne the pitiless pelting ot misfortune and wroDir. and now be had at lost fouud refuge in a court of justice. He had loved not wisely, out too well. lhe story of bis woes must nave gone to the rionth of their souls. Could not the prisoner ask with confidence, "could I have doue less, and ought I not have doue more!1" The ftiipffiLlen of tte prosecution was not that tbe Individual who bad passed to his fate had njt mprlted his doom, but that however righteous bad been that doom, be received it at the bauds of an unauthorized agent. nsw Vork Money and Mtoek markets.

A Manlae Fnters the Residence of a Cleveland Citizen aad Threatens to Kill the laiaates. The Cleveland Leader of the 4th inst. reports the following: Yesterday the inmates of Mr. Cobb's residence at ast Cleveland were startled by the appear ance of a visitor calculated to make the firmest nerves tremble. Breakfast was over and the different members of the family were pursuing their respective nouseuoid avocations, when a young man, apparently twenty-nve years 01 age. without coat or bat, walked unceremoniously into tne nouse and began at once throwing tnings auout in a most iurious manner, lie broke chairs, knocked over tables, threw different articles ot furniture out the window. and overturned everything that came in bis way. 1 he ladies were frightened by his terrific appearance, and their cries soon attracted several gentlemen to the house, when an attempt was made to arrest tne ieartui intruder. A full sense of the danger that had threatened the in mates was then understood. It was discovered that the man, who at first was thought in a state of intoxication, was a raving madman. At the approach of other men he grasped a large knife and a flat-iron, and swinging them both about him, said be would kill auy one who dared ap proach bim. This threat was the only intelligible sentence he uttered. During five minutes be stood in the middle of the room iu a violent paroxysm of rage, yeumg at tne top or nis voice, tils eyes roiling 11 to two bans 01 tire, nis lace glowing, the veins in bis bands and arms swelling, bis bair bristling as if life were in it, and his lips quivering. Finally be dropped the knife and lion and tea to the floor in a fit. A mason named Anthony Purdy then took the maniac and conducted bim to the county jail. Tbe Newfoundland Fisheries. Tbe Montreal Witness learns from St. Johns, Newfoundland, that au unusual state of pros- peiity prevails there. Last year the fishing was good, aDd the prices of fish were good, and the result was that the stores were cleared out of goods, whether uew or old. 1 tie importations have since been large, and they meet with ready sale, more especially as the seal fishery lias been remarkably prosperous this spring. Tbe steamers employed lu this business have returned lull, some of them having been obliged to leave on tbe ice a portion of tbe seals the.lr crews bad killed, even after throwing overboard as many tous of coal as they could spare to mako room ior seam.

I Very little improvement is perceptible In busi ness circles generally, and the dullness reflects Itself npon tne general tone 01 the money market. With a full supply of currency and only a very limited business demand for it, lenders outside the banks are often disposed to accept merely nominal rates ior call and snort- time accommodations, under these circum stances it is difficult to quote the market, as so many exceptional transactions are dally re ported. But the general rate Is still &a5 per cent, on safe collaterals, and first-class mercan tile acceptances are in demand everywhere at fi(o)7 per cent. Inferior grades are not quota ble at any fixed rate. Ibe gold market continues active and stroncr. but the range Is limited between 114 and 1141 closing at noon at in?. Government bonds are dull in this market and prices are slightly off from last night's Quo tations. There was but a trifling business at the Stock Board this morning, and prices shewed a slight yielding tendency. City 6s were quiet, with some sales at 102 for the new bonds. Lehigh. gold loan changed bands at vi$(5V2. In Reading Railroad there were trifling sales at 51 b. o., and at 5131 at the close; Pennsyl vania was somewhat active and sold at &C): Camden and Amboy was taken at 120, and Lehigh Valley at 50. 37 was bid for Catawlssa preferred; 14 for Catawissa, and 23 for Phila delphia and Erie. lhe balance of. the list attracted little atten tion, and we have no sales to report.
