Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals Upon Current Toplos Compiled Every Oayfor the Evening Telegraph. NEW YORK IN NATIONAL POLITICS. From tht WorUL "We cannot dissemble our solicitude lest the Democracy of other States sliouM be too slo tr in learning, what they mut ultimately learn, that the party cannot regain its ascendancy in national affairs by attempting to extract nu triment from the husks and chuff of defunct controversies of a past era. It in a mark of dotage and senility to "chow on wis lorn past, Anil totter on in blunders to the lust.'' Our predecessors were wise becaii3o they were so little fettered by old and venerable traditions. The two greatest party loivlers we have ever had were Jefferson and Jackson; men unlike in every other feature of their characters, but resembling eaoh other in this, that no two men were ever more completely emancipated from blind deference to trans mitted opinions. It was this which so pre eminently fitted them for political leaders in a young, progressive country, which is constantly outgrowing the garmonts of child Lood. Jefferson was a man of refined tastes and extensive culture, loving science and literature, addicted to philosophical in quiries, courting and courted by men of genius; and yet no man of studious habit was ever so lime 01 a peaani. .ueing niuiseu great and original, what he sought in the old fountains was not so much their particular ideas as a familiarity with the processes by which master-spirits generate ideas suited to the wants of their epoch. It was the cardinal principle of his political philosophy that every generation of men is adequate to its own occasions; that the dead possess no just empire over the living; that it is a sound de duction from the principle of human equality that present actors in human affairs are as capable of judging what suits them as their predecessors were of their wants and necessities. It was a favorite idea of his that every political constitution ought to be re vised and remodelled once in eighteen years that being the period he assigned to the active life of each generation. His robust and fruitful mind scorned the servile idea that the men living on the earth were not as competent to find the ideas they needed as their dead progenitors. He held that reason could stand alone without authority to prop it.gj$IIe was accordingly a bold innovator. What he was most anxious to transmit to posterity was not his own ideas of govern ment, but the independent spirit which judges of occasions as they arise, and trusts to its own sagacity to cope with them. General J uckson, an unlettered man, and a warm admirer of Jefferson, imbibed this spirit of robust independence. A born leader of men, it was not In his nature to bow to mere precedent. He found a great weight of authority in favor of the United States Bank; but he boldly vetoed it, and denied its constitutionality. He overturned the praotice of his predecessors respecting removals from office. Ho defied a decision of the Supreme Court respecting the Georgia Indians. The peculiarity of his mind was to act oa his per ception of what was suited to the circum stances, believing that himself and a support ing nation were more competent judges of present exigencies that wise men of the past who did not foresee them. "J, too, am a painter, " said a celebrated artist counoious of his genius; and the progress of government, like that of art, depends upon men who emu late the originality, instead of slavishly copying the ideas, of their dead masters. The chief obstacle to the success of the Democratic party at present is the adherence of a large section of the Democracy of the agricultural States to an order of ideas in herited from the administration of President Buchanan. President Buchanan lived be fore the deluge. Even in his own time he did not represent the popular sentiment of the country. Senator Douglas, who had greater mental independense and quicker sympathy with popular instincts, was the real leader of the progressive Democracy. Had he lived he would have saved the party from some grave mistakes, aad the country from heavy cala mities. His'mantle fell upon the Democratic leaders of New York, but their ideas have not had the ascendancy which he would have given them had he retained his position in the Senate, and thus kept the ear of the whole party. In New Y'ork, where his ideas have prevailed, the party has been successful; while in the.Stateswhere the ,Deaiocraoy have stagnated we have encountered a series of defeats. The Democratic party has lost three Presi dential elections by gross mismanagement and glaring mistakes. In every one of these the judgment of the New York Democracy has been overruled, at Charleston, in lsiio, by the fatal rejection of Douglas as a candi date; at Chicago, in 1801, by a damaging platform which the candidate was constrained to repudiate in his letter of acceptance; and at New York, in 18(18, by forcing the nomina tion upon a reluctant statesman against his own deliberate judgment, and running him on a financial policy against which he had re cently delivered powerful arguments. Gov ernor Sejineur himself, as is well known thought the interests of the party required the nomination of Chief-Justice Chase. In this he rather outstripped the tendencies of New York sentiment, the prevailing wish of the New York Democracy being the selection of candidates who would strengthen the party in the October elections in Pennsylvania and Indiana; no good judge of politics having any hope that we could elect the President if we lost those States in October. It was an Ohio movement, not a New York movement, that thrust the nomination on Governor Sey mour, and put the party in the incongruous attitude of running an anti-greenback candi date on a greenback platform, and associating an open advocate of J udge Chase on the same ticket with the author of a then recent letter in conflict with all Judge Chase's ideas. New Y'ork would have been proud of the honor of supplying the candidate, if the platform and associate had not repudiated his known ideas and handicapped him for the race. The De mocracy of New Y'ork were not responsible for these mistakes. We respectfully ask the Democracy of the country to bear witness of the fact that ' in New York we have the secret of carrying elections, while in other States, where differ ent ideas prevail, the party on every trial finds itself in a minority. We commend the contrast to general attention as an Instructive fact. While the Democracy of other States are rejoicing with us over the Bvlendid triumph of Tuesday, we wish they would ask themselves whether a similar policy would not be for their advantage. Our Eolicy is vindicated by its results. It ears the seal of success. It cannot be that the Democracy of otherJStates prefer Black Republican domination at Washington to the New York type of liberal, progressive Democracy. We are profoundly convinoed that the actual choice, in the next Presiden tial election, lies between the two. In poli tics, as in war, it is wise to flank a position that cannot be carried in front. We have had too many battles after the pattern of Burnside'a attacks on Fredericksburg. The Democracy of New York, having repeatedly shown that they know hop to manage a party and win victories at homo, where their views aro not overruled and have free play, feel entitled to the confidence, aud ask "for the indulgent judgment, of their patriotic Demo cratic brethren in other States. If the New Y'ork Democracy had not been overruled we should certainly have carried the Presidential election in and probably in lWJt and 180H. If the party elsewhere will adopt our taction, aud weigh our advioe, we have no doubt that, with exertion enough, we can succeed in 1872. These words of soberness are inspired by no other motive than unwil lingness to see another great opportunity flung away. Even in the flush of victory we are saddened by the thought that New York is still a Democratic Goshen in an outlying Egypt of Black Kopublican ascendancy. TnE LABOR QUESTION. Frcm Every Saturday. .j The vast subject of the true and healthy itlations of labor to capital ia now debated in Europe and the United States with know ledge, intelligence, and zeal, but also with a ferocity on both bides which occasionally seems to threaten a social war. In the last nniilyhis every cool thinker sees that the mat ter is regnlated by laws as inexorable as the law of gravitation by laws which human beings cannot constrain, but which austerely constrain them by laws which, existing as they do in the very naturo of things, are btjond the control either of philanthropy or greed. But passion and self-interest intrude so inevitably into the discussion, that it is difficult to make the "still low voice" of sim ple sense and reason audible amidst the tierce cries and vehement arguments of either party. It is a contest for power as well as for justice, and the demagogues of capital and the demagogues of labor have more than their rightful share of influence in the graat debate, in which thinkers and philanthro pists, as well as demagogues, are earnestly engnRcd. In tho United States we have a palpable advantage over Europe, in beiug able to dis cuss the whole question fairly. There is here no "pressure of population on subsistence" to embitter and envenom the discussion. We have more than three millions of square miles ef territory, with only forty millions of population. The land can easily support ten times that population, without calling for any extra effort on the part of the people to subsist. To all Europoau thinkerj that fact alone adjourns the real problem to be solved, in this country, a couple of centu ries. But we have also had, withiu the lifetime of our present population, a system of labor in which the capitalist owned the laborer. That fact enables us to go to the root of the whole controversy for it repre sents a condition of things from which civilized Europe has been free for many hun dreds of years. The peculiarity of American slavery, as far as it affected the remuneration of labor, was this, that the increased value of the slave's work,springing from the increased demand for the products of his work, made no addition to his necessities, much less to his comforts. He was a wealth-producing animal, to be fed, clothed, and lodged with the least possible expense consistent with the preservation of animal existence. The cost of his support was, we believe, about Beveuty dollars a year. The vast impulse given to the cotton trade quadrupled the value of his work, but its only eff ect on him was to raise his price in the slave-market. He was not better fed, clothed, or lodged than before; but instead of being "a two hundred-and-flfty-dollar nig ger" he became "a thousand-dollar .nig ger." Had he been a free laborer he would, by the natural operation of the law of supply and demand, have received himself the additional value of his work expressed in the rise of his mar ket price as a chattel. In other words, his wages would have been the wages given to other unskilled laborers. He would have ex pended three hundred dollars a year on his own subsistence instead of having seventy dollars a year expended on his subsistence by his master. The difference found its way into the master's pocket that is, capital absorbed over three quarters of the laborer's earnings, after the legitimate remuneration of capital had been fully paid. Ibis condition of things represented the dominion of violence over everything worthy to be culled law. It was simply a state of war, in which the laborer was held to his work under the iron hand of force. The two fundamental rights of the laborer were vio lated first, his liberty, and second, his right to participate with capital in the profits of their joint production. Now, of those two, we consider the hrst as the most important. The laborer should be lice. The mistake of tho "orgauizera of labor is in insisting that he should be free only to join an association theoretically devoted to an assertion of the rights of labor. For the slave master is substituted the trades union. If you don't join the union you lose caste aud the system of India, repudiated by modern civilization, is practically adopted in the United States. The laborer who sells his labor in open mar ket for the most he can get, obedient to eoo nomio laws, but disobedient to the purely despotic commands of the labor association, is a Pariah. In this free Commonwealth of Massachusetts there are men who oan only exercise the , mechanic art in which they have been bred, by exercising also some of the exceptional virtues of martyrs. With out denying the good which the various unions have done in watching the mutations of the labor market, in order that instant as well as remote justice shaft be done to the laborer, we think that their coercive policy is a revival of the most detestable element in the system of slavery. Let every laborer join them, if he chooses; but don't ostraoize the laborer who don t choose to join them Everybody knows that the freedom of the laborer ia practically annulled through the despotism exercised over him by the deoia gogues who profess to be the guardians of his interests. The interference of the Labor Associations with the law of supply and demand, in its operation on the liberty of the laborer, is bad. enougm dui it extends also to a wild attempt to keep up wages by limiting production. The theory of these apponents of natural law is, that if obstacles be placed in the way of learning trades, the price of the articles mads can be kept hign, ana tne wages of their dm. ducers can also be kept at what is called a "living point." This simply means that un skilled laborers should be made to bear the burden which the skilled laborers shift from their own ahoulders, and that to do this the workmen without skill should be deprived of the right to improve their condition bjr putting more mind in their work. The "Trades" are really an aristocracy, trying to keep the "Serfs" Tinder. For it is plain to the meanest capacity that the mechanic, being a consumer as well r.a a producer, can have no chance of making a mere rise ia his wages operativo for his well-being, unless he makes the agricul tural laborer work at low wages. His real fight is, not with the capitalist, but with his brother laborers. If the wages of the farm hand, the mechanic, and the operative of the manufactory were equally raised, nobody would be benefited. As a consumer, the skilled rueebnnio would have to pay increased prices for all he consumed, and his increased wages would therefore not add a cent to the purchasing power of his labor. He, as a la borer, can only benefit himself at the expense of some other laborer. Therefore he bases his "rights" on essential in justice. THE FUTURE UN VAILED. From the X. Y. Time. We are approaching the end of a year of marvels, and people are already beginning to wonder what great issues he hidden be hind the vail of the next. Some are mire anxious on this score than others. For example, the people and Government of France doubtless feel disposed to dip in'o the future to a considerable extent, were it only to see whether there remains for them a deeper depth of distress than they have yet toncned. sundry members of the fraternity of Wall street would also, we may safely as sume, be prepared to give a handsome cm sideration to the ingenious individual who could afford them an inkling of the coming events whope shadows are not long enough to be quite perceptible as yet. So, too, the greater portion of the taxpayers of New York feel a natural curiosity to foreoast the amount of money that will, between this and next election, be pocketed by the unsated black-uyriliug association commonly Known as luimnany. Dull of a kindred de sire to keep behind the curtain of fate, we have carefully perused the predictions of "Zadkicl lao !ze, etc.. for the year of grace 1871. This prophet of cosmopolitan renown assures his readers, for tho forty-first time that the heavt-nly bodies fire the instruments of Divine FrowJenco. Ho admits that their influence is not all powerful over those who have faith, but ho is equally confident that those "who will not bow the knee to any but the evil Baal of their own imaginations are truly left to the cruel mercies of the evil angels that rule over arul produce the evil in fluences of Mars, Saturn, and other maleQc stars." Judging that our city magnates might lie properly as-igned to the latter category, we turned with the most sancume oxpecta Hons to tlie puses of the seer. Like all oracles, however, Zadkiel gives forth a very uncertain sound. Passing over such very obvious predictions as that there will be trouble in Mexico, and riots in i ranee, that the Grand Turk will have trouble through women, and that the throne of the King of Greece will probably be snaken, we nnu tee intimations touching tho affairs of this city during the next yeir to be exceedingly vague and tantalizing. It moy be interesting to those not versed in astrolocy to know that in commou with our Old World sponsors of Amsterdam and York we are ruled by the zodiacal sign of Cancer. We Should have supposed Scorpio as a symbol of the reign of Tara- many, or Aries, as a type of our readiness to be fleeced, would have been more appropri ate. The crab, however, forms a not unapt emblem of our present facility of advancing backward, if it has not, indeed, had some thing to do in imposing that peculiarity upon us. e derive much comfort trom the assu- rai.ee that the presence of Jupiter in Gemini brings "peace and gain" to this continent, as also that the progress of tho "benolio" fctar through Aries leaves us still placid and prosperous. As a reminder to the Fire De partment, we may state that as Jupiter be comes stationary in Gemini on the 2d M ty, fires of some extent and "other violence" may be expected in this as well as in other cities, under the influence of that planet. The con nection is not quite apparent, but we refrain from questioning the dicta of a prophet of forty-one years standing. By and by, how ever, there comes a staggering assertion from which, though reluctantly, we must enter a partial dissect. "In September," says the hoary sage, "we find Jupiter in Cancer, wherein he benefits Holland, Scotland, Al giers, Tunis, Constantinople, Cadiz, New York, and Manchester. In all these places trade flourishes, and good, wholesome, and humane laws are now carried out." The commercial prognostication we gladly let pass with an expression of satisfaction that good fortune should be so equally distributed among Mohammedans and Christians. But, honest Zadkiel, is there not some mistake about the laws with so many brave adjectives that are to be enforced in Ne w York ? We cast no reflection on the justice-loving instincts of Calvlnistio Holland and Scotland, we are quite prepared to believe that the Mussul men of Algiers, Tunis, and Constantinople, albeit much given to thieving, may return to paths of rectitude, but New Y'ork no! no! old man, that part of the prophecy is alto-' gether too "steep" to be credited. Consult the horoscope once more, and see whether Jupiter does not wink in a sinister manner in this conjunction, and should the moon be within range of vision, we think it highly probable that a careful examination might discover a shadowy finger hovering at right angles to the nasal protuberance of that luminary. There is much weighty matter in the utterances of the seer, but after a slip like this, we find our faith in his discernment greatly shaken. THE MORAL OF IT. From the N. Y, Tribune. There are Republicans enough in this State for one successful party, but not enough for two. Such is, in short meter, the explana tion of our last defeat. Two years age, we all went to the polls and voted, rolling up a larger aggregate of legal votes for Grant and Colfax than any other party ever polled in this or any other State. Then we were overwhelmed by our adversa ries' gigantie, Bystematio frauds, now we are beaten by our own feuds and the apathy thence resulting. We were cheated some, but not nearly euough to determine the re sult. Nearly one hundred thousand Republi cans, seeing that their leaders were more hostile to each other than to the common ad versary, stayed at home and let the election go as it might. This should cot ' and need not have been. There is no question of principle which seri ously divides and weakens the Republican pariy. We are distracted mainly by our de votion to certain men and our antipathy to others. And, so long as this shall be the cae, we must be beaten. We are beaten in 1870 as Silas Wright was beaten for Governor in 184.0, and as the Demooratio party was baten by its "Hard" and "Soft" factions in ltr.t-;. It were idle to trace the genealogy of the feud which has divided ns into what are of late designated 'Teuton" aud "Conkling" men. buince it mat tne distraction exia'fl, nnd works inevitable disaster. Last year Truman G. Younglove was beaten for Senator in a strongly Republican district by Republi can tnorts and votes. Ibis year James M. Marvin, who was the master-spirit of tie opposition to Younglove, is nominated for CoDgress in tne same district, and is in like manner struck down. We do not justify either bolt; we sympathize with that great body of the Republicans who, whatever their personal prferences, v.ited last year for Younglove, this year for Marvin; we only insist that the nomination of Marvin this year, while last year's bolt and its conse quence were fresh in the publio mind, was little les than insanity. So in the Chautauqua distriot. A bitter feud there elected a Democratic Senator in 18(57. Now, it was insisted that the candi date who then ran lowest among three, thovigh he had the regular Republican nomi nation, should be run for Congress he aud nobody else. He is run accordingly, and elected at a heavy cost to the Republican State ticket. And so in other cases. We cannot afford to have two Republican parties in this State. If we attempt it, we shall soon have none. And, ia order that we may have one, it is essential that all who habitually vote the Republican ticket shall be regarded and treated as friends by tho Fede ral administration. If a part of them are treated as step-children, we cannot keep the field. Our last State Convention fairly indicated our fatal distraction. More effort was made in its election and organization to triumph over Senator Fenton than to defeat Governor Hoffman. To be known as a friend of that Senator was to be suspected of hostility to Gen. Grant's administration. We cannot doubt that Federal offices were bestowed or promised to secure an anti-Fenton prepon derance in that Convention. And, in select ing candidates for our State ticket, tho quos tion of Fenton or anti-Feuton was more re garded by many than the nomination of strong and popular candidates. Siuce then, eveiy "Fenton man" (so oalleJ) who holds a Federal office in our State has felt of his neck each morning to be sure that his head was still attached to his shoulders. Unless this can be changed the Republicans of New York are henceforth of no more ac count in the national scale than the Demo crats in Massachusetts. Until reunited in the bonds of national adversity wo shall be of no use savo as make-weights in a National Convention. What needs to be done is easily told. We must frown upon all who would perpetuate our teLfceless feud?, and the administration must help ns by steadily ignoring all dis tinctions between "Fenton" men and "Conk ling" men. It must cease to make removals or appointments in the interest of either of our Senators, or to regard the friends of one with more favor than those of the other. No competent, worthy Republican mu6t be re moved from office because of his affiliation with one or the other of those Senators, nor must ny one be appointed to strengthen the hands of either. Our rulers must know only the Republican party, and recognize no divi sion in its ranks except as a deplorable fact, to be obviated as speedily as may be. With proper, timely, resolute action at headquar ters, we may soon be, reunited, and may thereupon regain all tho ground we have lost. If we cannot Lave this, we may as well go to sleep fur the next throe or four years. MEN'S LIVES AT AUCTION. From the X. Y. Tribune. Our neighbors in Philadelphia have been busied during the last week in the trial of a man named Hanlon for the murder of a child. With the details of the case we have nothing to do; they are too utterly foul for publica tion; but the trial itself ought not to be suf fered to pass without notice, as it offered a flagrant example of one or two abuses which are becoming but too common in our courts. The most obtrusive was the presenoe among the spectators of large numbers of women, well-dressed, as we are told, and apparently belonging to the more respectable classes of society. The evidence brought forward was so unusually horrible and disgusting in its de tails that much of it was suppressed in the reports furnished to the press. But these women listened to the whole with unblushing eff rontery, and came day after elay in such numbeis as to exclude even the lawyers from the court-room, and crowd into the places of witnesses, judge, and jury. We have seen cases lately almost parallel to this in our own courts, where women exhib ited a similar incredible immodesty and pruri ent curiosity. They belong, of oonrso, to a class who, from either birth or education, are rendered incapable of understanding decency, or the secret of womanly honor; it would be useless, therefore, to attempt to point out their mistake to them. Bnt it is high time that some restriction was placed upon the habits of our courts, if we would preserve to them any semblance of djgnity or even de cency. Opening the doors to an indiscrimi nate, irresponsible mob of both sexes during the progress of a trial like that of Hanlon, is as much to be deprecated in its effects as a secret trial would be. In one case there is a chance of injustice to the prisoner; in the other the certainty of debauching the publio mind. We are no advocates of star chambers or trials in dark corners. But there is a me dium between them and the solicitude with which every foul novelty in crime is now dragged into public, and turned over and dis sected before swarming crowds of men and women, whom only an unhealthy, vicious ap petite conld have brought to such an exhibi tion, and the people of all others whom it is most likely to incite to imitation. A man must have a good deal of the virus of crime already in him before he can enjoy with gusto such trials as that of Hanlon. Hew then must it be with women ? For the sake of public mo rals, let jnstlce be provided in future with some decent safeguard of reserve; and let women at least be excluded from places where their mere presenoe degrades their whole sex in the eyes of men. The other point which we wish to notice is this trial is a stilf graver abuse. It appears that when the child Mohrman was murdered, a reward of some $(5000 was offered for the murderer. Suspicion being excited a gainst this man Hanlon, when he was an inmate of the State Prison, the detectives, whom the reward bad naturally made zealous in the matter, applied to the superintendent of the prison for a man likely to succeed in worming a confession out of him. A pri soner named Dunn was selected, who, by his own statement, is a professional thief, and has been a convict in England, Aus tralia, and Sirg Sing. He was placed in the same cell with Hanlon, with the understand ing, of course, that a pardon was the prioe of his extorting the confession, as his testi mony could not be received while he was yet infamous by being under sentence of the law. The strength of the whole of the evi dence against Hanlon was based on the veracity of this witness. The pardon was placed in his hands befoie giving it. Now, whether Hanlon was guilty or not, or whether the confepsion was genuine or only the off ppiirg of Dunn's imagination, quickened by tht information of the detectives, is a ques tion oren to dispute. We have nothing to do with it. What we do most urgently condemn is the custom, which is growiug common, of admitting such testimony asthia,or any oonfes aion of a prisoner sworn to by interested par ties. Witnesses arc to be judged by the rules of common sense, and, unfortunately, are not in-aocest-ible to bribes. A man who makes his trade of crime, with a pardon held up before h's yes as the price of another crime, is hardly a competent witness on which to hang V e life of another man. .That perjury was likely to cost this Dunn no uncomfortable twinges of conscience was proved by his un advisedly swearing in direct contradiction to the police officers who produced him. It is bad enough that so-called Jnstice holds men's lives in her hands, but at least let her public barter of them far blood-mouey and pardons be stopped, and that at once.
