TIIE LABOR QUESTION AT WASH
INOTON.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.
The main features of the labor disturbance
at the capital are these: The most of the
common labor is done by negroes. The so
cial, political, And other inducements, to
gether with the liking of the blaoks for city
life, hare caused an influx of this raoe to
Washington, whioh exceeds the demand for
this kind of labor. ' The blacks struck for
$2. Employers can get laborers for $1 "50,
bat the strikers attack them. Governor
Cooke advised the contractors on the publio
works to suspend work, which is the same as
to decide that the government of the distriot
oonld not protect their workmen against the
strikers. The Governor has also given his
views on the merits of the dispute on the
wages question. "We infer from it that the
contractors aim at a reduction to $125. '
lie says that &T25 is too low, and $2 is too
high, because it would bring a farther influx
from the surronniing country, and would
cause a decline in the demand for labor;
therefore he and the Board of Publio Works,
of whioh be is President, have decided that
$1'50 per day is fair for both sides. In con
clusion, he says that while the board will
endeavor to do justice to all, it will net yield
to violence, or countenance any attempt to
intimidate or interfere with honest laborers.
But np to this writing the intimidation of
laborers and of the district government con
tinues. The difficulty is, there are more of
this kind of laborers than the demand re
quires. Should they get their demanded $2,
many would be out of employment; and yet
this rate would draw in more from the sur
rounding country.
What would be gained to labor by a suc
cessful strike whioh resulted ia increasing the
number of the unemployed? It is better for
the laborers themselves that the natural con
ditions should be left to govern. We think
that in the country at large as good a class of
laborers can be hired, for railroad grading
and other common work, at $125 per day,
certainly for $150, where the peculiar condi
tions that cause a surplus at Washington do
not exist. These are low wages compared
with our general high-priced system; but not
low when compared with the results of farm
ing. We suppose that the conditions are such
in the States adjaoent to the distriot that
wages of $150 will draw more men from the
country. It is not for the good of either the
laborers or of the country that this should
result. And inasmuch as the distriot is over
crowded with laborers, the lower wages, while
it will check the influx and the growing com
petition of laborers with themselves, will
stimulate building and other work, and thus
increase their employment.
If they should sucoeed in their demand for
$2 a day, the result womld be that only a part
would get employment; the rate would check
enterprises that furnish work, while it would
increase the influx from the country, and
would'raise the proportion left to idleness
and pauperism. The blacks cannot see it,
but their situation is peculiar. They are their
own worst competitors, and they are going
against their own true interest when they aU
endure the hardships of a strike for a rate of
wages which only a part of them can enjoy if
they sucoeed. . It is for the interest, of the
colored population of the district, as it is of
the public, that a rate of wages should pre
vail that will not disturb the labor system of
the surrounding country.
JOHNSON AND PENDLETON ON EEPTJ.
DIATION.
From the Cleveland Leader,
Andrew Johnson is not disposed to let Pen
dleton. Vallandigham. and the Ohio Demo
cracy have a monopoly of dishonest proposi
tiona for disposing of the publio debt. The
ex-aooidental President has put in a bid for
Democratio favor in a proposition for repudia
tion which puts the Pendletonian greenback
scheme quite in the backrrouna. xne pnn
cinle of dishonesty is the same in both, but
the method of Johnson is so superior in bold
and dashing villainy to that of Pendleton as
to distance all competition. The scheme of
Pendleton assumes the mask of legality to
oover the cheat of repudiation. Bat the
scheme of Johnson scorns to "whip the devil
'round the stump" in the careful style of Pen
dleton, and strikes straight at the major vil
lainy by proposing to compel the publio
creditors to accept the annual interest as so
muoh payment on the principal of their bonds,
Pendleton proposes to pay the interest on the
Five-twenty bonds in gold, but the principal
in greenbacks; Johnson proposes not to pay
the interest at all, but to apply the amount of
interest paid directly to the liquidation of the
debt. And the renaietorr soneme is limited
to the five-twenty bonds; while that of John
son sweepingly includes the entire publio
debt. The swindle of the Pendleton plan
eensists in forcing the publio creditors to
aocept a "promise to pay, drawing no inte
rest, in lieu of a "promise to pay," drawing
six per cent. interest, oontrary to
the intention and understanding of the
bend. The swindle of the John
son proposition amounts to i an in
stantaneous and final repudiation of the
total interest on the publio debt, in utter de
fiance alike of law, deoenoy, and the publio
welfare. But the merit claimed for the plan
of Pendleton tnat it will tne quioker ertin
guish the publio debt, with lighter burdens of
taxation pleads far more strongly in behalf
of Johnson's proposition. The direct saving
of the latter would be far greater, while the
moral difference is simply that between fraud
and robbery; and of the two, the highwayman
ranks as a more honorable rasoal than the
thief.
The motive which instigates the hostility
of these representative Democratio spokes
men to the fall and honest payment of the
Federal debt, is, in both, antipathy toward
the cause in which that debt was created and
to the party whioh has so far squarely met
the nations pledges to its creditors. The
Pendleton Democrats used to hold that the
Eublio debt could never be paid the wish
eing father to the thought. But the Be-
Enblioan party, having paid nearly half a bil
on of the debt within six years, has silenoed
that party slander on the nation s faith aad
credit, so tnat tne democracy, as a prty no
longer dare defy the pubUo conscience with
open sohemes of repudiation. And yet the
eeniua of the party still finds vent through
such irresponsible! vet applauded representa
tives oi its sentiment as Andrew Johnson,
who promises to play fur the
Democratio theory of repudiation
the part of volunteer expositor,
after the manner in whioh Jeff. Davis has
done a like service for the Duiooratiu theory
of secession. Mr. Johnson lays down a broil
premise for repudiation in assuming that "no
nation in history has ever paid any large
publio debt withont repudiation;" and that
"no nation has anv right to make a large
publio debt permanent in its oharaoter" bold
language, says a Georgia Demooratio paper,
which "will strike a responsive chord in the
hearts of thousands who say they have no part
or lot in tne reaerai aeut, ana are not re
sponsible for it." A very apt and accurate
description of the position and feeling of the
Demooratio parttf on the. subjeot of the
national debt they did not help to make it.
except as rebels, and will help to pay only so
much of it as the honesty and fidelity of the
Kepublican party, while it remains in power,
shall compel thorn to do. For what else do
the Democratio outcries against taxation, and
their schemes of repudiation, mean exoept
that they "have no part nor lot in tne Federal
debt, and are not responsible for it?" The
Democratio party is morally incapable of
managing the finances of the country. That
party is pledged, by instinct as well as by
resolution, to repudiate the national debt and
break down the publio credit. The credit of
the country and its sacred faith in the honest
payment of its just obligations are safe only
in the hands of those wno are "responsible
for the debt," not as criminals in rebellion,
or in complicity tnerewitn, out-ad planning
and fighting, giving money and men, to the
bitter end, in crushing out the great
Rebellion.
IMPRISONMENT FOR LIFE.
From the V. T. World.
The late praiseworthy severity of courts
and juries throughout the country in adjudg
ing murderers to tne gaiiows has at last
waked into renewed activity the cant against
capital punishment. For a time succeeding
the indignant outburst of the popular voice
demanding a rigid enforcement of the law
the philanthropists who think it better the
assassin should knife the citizen than that
the State should rope the slayer kept quiet,
but now their murmur is heard. Why, they
put it, not substitute imprisonment for life?
There is something to be Said on both sides
of this question; much on the one side in
the way of rhetoric fancy, tears, pathos, and
sentimentality; not a little on the other
in the nature of figures and
facts. Taking np the prison statistics of
Wisoonsin, it appears that in the ten years
from 1856 to 1868 our present information
not coming below the latter date there were -
thirty-six convicts received into the peniten
tiary under life sentences, and twelve ef them
pardoned out. In the Ohio penitentiary for
the same period fifty-nine life convicts were
received, and twenty-one of them pardoned
out. In the Massachusetts State prison, of
which we have fortunately statistics from
1828 to 18GG, there were 185 life convicts re
ceived, and ninety-six were pardoned out.
Or, in other words, one life convict in every
three was pardoned out in Wisoonsin, two in
every five in Ohio, and every other one in
Massachusetts. The average time served by
the Wisconsin life convicts watf only six
years, ' by the Ohio criminals seven,
and by those in Massachusetts eight.
From this appalling exhibit it will
be seen that imprisonment '.for life is not
imprisonment for life; that it is less in the
long run than the ordinary term of ten years
meted out to a swindler or robber. The
working of the system is such as tempts the
burglar to add murder to burglary u dis
covered; for if a life sentence can only be ob
tained on an indictment for murder, he
stands a fair chance of receiving a pardon in
some six or eight years, while if ten or fifteen
years be given him for the burglary alone he
is quite likely to serve out every day ef it.
In the figures we have given, taking it for
granted that the number of life convicts was
even year by year in Massachusetts, we find
that in the space of ten years in that and the
other two States mentioned 143 convicts
under sentenoe of imprisonment for life were
received in the several penitentiaries and
fifty-eight of them pardoned out equiv
alent to two in every five set free
the first ten years, with two ! more,
of course, to receive pardons in the next
decade. No wonder that it has been officially
certified to the Legislature of this State that
"the convicts for life would seem to form in
some respects a privileged class, and the
chances are that they will have a shorter
imprisonment than men sentenced for twenty
or even fifteen years. The pardoning power
much more frequently chooses these men,
in proportion to their number, as the objects
of its clemency than it does the general
mass of prisoners; and it would hence seem
to be the interest of the criminal to have
meted out to him the heaviest puishment
whioh the law acoords to his offense.
The gross average of pardons on all convicts
confined in American prisons will be from
fifteen to twenty per cent. while
that on convicts sentenoed for life readies
the enormous proportion of forty to fifty per
cent. if imprisonment for life were im
prisonment fer life its propriety might be a
subject for discussion, but as the lacts and
the figures; are, it means even a less deten-
tion for a murderer than for a mere thief a
short sojourn for the blood-stained wretch in
prison, and then a license to him to handle
his weapons anew.
THE POLITICAL TENDENCY OF MODERN
CATHOLICISM.
From the X. Y. Times.
A great change is to be marked in the tone
and purpose of the Ultramontane journals of
Europe within the past six months. It is
desirable to call attention to it here, because
of the faot that the same change has taken
place in the Roman Catholio journals of our
own country. Pending the session of the
Vatican Council, and for some time after its
adjournment, or more propsrly its suspen
sion, the extreme advocates of the Papacy
directed their attention to the spiritual rela
tions of the Church, as affected by the doc
trine of infallibility. All efforts on the part
of liberal Catholios, or of Protestants, to
point out the exclusively political results
which must flow from the enunciation of the
dogma, were denounced as schismatic aad
distracting when urged by Catholio writers,
and as based on misrepresentation when
urged by Protest ts. It was alleged that
the unquestioned supremacy of the Pope as
the spiritual head of the Churoh was abso
lutely indispensable to the idea of the
Church itself, but that his dominion was
purely spiritual, and that whether or not the
Council should declare him infallible, tne
duties of Catholics as citizens would remain
undisturbed by that faot.
The day that saw the enunoiation of the
dogma of infallibility saw the declaration of
war by Napoleon III, whose armed interven
tion bad long sustained the temporal power
of the Pope. The opening scenes of the war
had no sooner made it plain that this support
must be withdrawn, than the Italian nation
seized the golden moment, and reincor
porated the long-sundered States of the Churoh
with the body of Italy. M. Kenan has elo
quently recounted the compensation that
Italy Las been compelled to pay for having
uriiibhed the world with the marvellous insti
tntion of the Papacy. This was in 180'.). Ha
could not have supposed that within a year
that burdensome debt would be canoelled, and
Italy would have entered fully on the progress
that comes by gentle processes and slow
stages, bat whioh ends in adequate develop
ment. No sooner did the Ultramontane mess per
ceive that the temporal power of the Pope
was wholly gone, than the idea of his purely
FPintnai omce was nung aside. Everv agenoy
was immediately invoked, and has been urged
with increasing energy to the cresent mo
ment, to concentrate the feelings of the
Catholics of the wotld on the restoration of
the Pope's temporal power. In Europe,
deputations were obtained to visit Rome and
bear to tbe aliran the most extravagant
expressions of sympathy with the presumed
Bufferings, and of indignation at the assumed
wrongs, of his Holiness. The Tope, who had
been reprt sented as Laving to the world at
Inrpe relations of a spiritual nature alone,
was suddenly flntamorpho8ed. His spiritual
attributes were ignored, and it was insisted
that the object of all true Catholics' prayers
and endeavors should be his release from hi
present degradation. Whenever the Roman
Catholio press could make itself felt in the
churches, in society, in the Representative
Assemblies, and in one esse in the Cabinet
the Catholio "heart was fired" with zeal for
the political re-endowment of the Pope,
whom a lew months previously the same
press had upheld as having a "kingdom not
f this world.
The same change took place in this country;
though in a smaller degree, because publio
attention had not previously been drawn so
closely to the political tendencies of the new
Jesuitical dogma of infallibility. Our people
win not nave iergotten tbe meetings caned
to sympathize with the Pope, nor the prompt'
cess with which certain demagogues made
haste to attend and address them. Of course.
no one here dreaded, as many did in European
countries, the enect of this spirit in bring-
ng on forcible interference in the affairs of
Italy, and preoipitating a religious war
on the Continent. But the tendency
in both cases was of the same nature; it
was the inevitable tendenoy to involve
tbe adherents of the infallible Pope in politi
cal ellorts to maintain his temporal supre
macy. As far as may be judged by the tone
ot the xToman Uatbolio press, and of the om-
cial publications of the Church authorities.
this tendency grows more marked with the
passage of time. There are more and more
frequent threats mingled with the appeals to
the affection of Catholics and the Pope; the
purposes of the secret society of former mem
bers of the Papal army forming throughout
Europe' are spoken of with unmistakable
bad temper: the priesthood is exhorted to
use its influence in political controversies;
and in some instances the protestation of
Professors Dollinger and Friedrich, of
Munich, that they cannot reconcile
allegiance to their Government with alle
giance to an infallible Pope, is accepted, and
they are frankly told that in that case tbe
sovereignty of the Pope must prevail. And
this . spirit finds expression in the United
States the more plainly in connection with
the great jubilee of tbe twenty-fifth anniver
sary of the Pope's accession. It was the
logical consequence of the peouliar doctrine
of an infallible head of tbe Catholio Church,
that the energies ot tbe (Jhurch should be en
listed when the temporal dignity of its head
was in question. Political activity was sure
to result from the open enunoiation of the in
fallibility dogma. In no country in the
world is political activity in a vast religious
organization, like that of the Catholio
Church, bo certain and so dangerous as in our
own.
SEX IN SCIENCE.
From the X. T. Tribune.
The question of sex in the medical profes
sion is not yet settled, and probably never
will be nntil it is arranged on the principles
of jnstioe and common sense. The Pennsvl-
vanialMedical Society , met at Williamsport yes
terday, and an effort will be made by some of
tbe most liberal and most prominent physi
cians of the State to effect a repeal of the
rule which prohibits members of the associa
tion from consulting with women, from
teaching them, and from consulting with
physicians who do, on pain of expulsion. It
is to be noped tnat this Billy reiio of another
day will be promptly discarded by the asso
ciation.
The question of the eduoation of women
in meaicine is so longer an open one.
. i
People may still discuss the propriety and
tne wisdom oi women studying medloine
and surgery, but the fact is now beyond
their grasp. There are several respectable
medical colleges devoted to the educa
tion of women in this profession,
and it is impossible for the -strictest
conclave of Galena to deny the fact that well-
trained and accomplished doctors are coming
out ot tnem every year, it is merely an ex
hibition of puerile spite for the learned gen
tlemen to say they will not recognize these
ladies as practitioners. It will not materially
injure tbe women-doctors. Those who wish
to employ them win ao so with all the more
alacrity if their favorites are thus made the
object of a stupid and illiberal proscription.
If in a critical case, where a physician had re
fused to consult with a respectable female
doctor, the patient should die with the Bound
ot that refusal ringing in the ears of survi
vors, it requires no gift of prophecy to tell
ub en which side will be the gratitude and on
which side tne resentment.
It is this question, whether they shall bru-
tallyadhcre te a mouldy tradition, to the dis
advantage of the profession and the danger
of the Bick, or graoefully admit what every
body knows that there are ladies qualified
to practice medicine in a reputable and suc
cessful way. When they have done that,
they can betake themselves with the more
vigor to the extirpation of charlatanry in all
its branches. No one will understand that
in what tbe Tribune has said on this subjeot
tkereis any justincation for the unwhole
some quaeks who at once disgrace the honor
able nameB of woman and physician. Let
the rule of qualification be as strict for
the one eex as the other. Let sol-
ence and not sex be the criterion to
judge them by. Despite some temporary
inconveniences, we are assured that
more good than harm will result from the
entry into the ranks of the regular faculty of
those clever ana ae voted women who have
surmounted bo many obstacles to prepare
themselves for their work. But there should
be no element of gallantry or compassion in
troduced into the considerction of their
cases. We ask for them, as they ask for
themselves, nothing but justice, administered
with a due regard to the interests of the af
flicted and , no tenderness whatever to the
candidates. Science, not sex, la the test:
women physicians cannot afford to auk for
more; the Pennsylvania Medical Society can
not afford to grant less. It may fail to meet
the issue now; bat it will only have the more
of its own words to eat and of its own per
versity to undo in the certain and near future.
