WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 20, 1385 GENERAL SCHOFIELD IN FRANCE. An ogre has suddenly appeared in Paris, in the shape of an American Major General, attended by two of his staff. Schofield, a hero of scores of battles in the South, has taken lodgiws at the-Grand Hotel, and all Paris,ii stained, while all Europe goes to speculating as to what he means to do. It is something to make a sensation, and even the visit of a reigning monarch could scarcely have made a greater one than did this of the modest but brave young Amer-- van General. At once it is guessed •that general Scho fLeld is a .special envoy, charged with au .'ultirnatum from President Johnson on the subject of the European usurpation in /gexico; and then all the quidnuncs set to - work to imagine what the ultimatum is. That tilers is a good deal of uneasiness felt by all, ike i vident from the tone of the vari ous jo.nrrials when discussing the subject. I.Even hefoxe .Schofield - has been presented , kt., court, or 7.19,6 .9.slied for a presentation, pre.sence almost throws a cloud may .pkys-icgT,cmy of the French 'his a. over. the capital.ap4 ov the object of We do not pretenu. " , liace, but We are the general's visit to _„, )t; pretty well persuaded that it , -2 14° , 4 _'Y for his personal pleasure. The ever; that it so disturbs the French is . tering to the self-love •of Americans. ;t• shows how amazingly we have advanced as a nation, in the estimation of foreigners, since we have succeeded in quelling the stupeptims rebellion in the Southern States. It gives us a new realization of the import ance of our victory, And reconciles us more than ever to the enormous sacrifices made to achieve it. For in conquering the rebels we have conquered the contemptuous spite of foreign powers, and enforced from them a respect for the strength of s republicall in stitutions. Sri hat tiebt effect upon the settlement of the Mexican question the visit of General Schofield may have, we are line)* ant it is evident that it will of lti it in some Way, - even 1:1 . . Charged with special Instructions from the President. The - French intervention in Mexico never was popular with the subjects of Napoleon, and it is daily„ growing more unpopular; be cause it bas caused a waste of life and money, without any advantage to Franee, .or to any human being except Maximilian and 'hilt family. The hifits of the President's message on the subject, and the presence in Paris of a distinguished soldier of the re public will probably hasten the ablution of the difficulty, and we believe that solution - will involve the withdrawal of the French =troops from Mexico. CONGRESSIONAL MUNIFICENCE We hear on every side the expression of astonishment and disgust at themiserly ap propriation made by Congress for the family of President Lincoln. We are entirely unable to suggest any cause for this sudden fit of parsimony, so utterly at variance With the well-understood feeling of our people Upqn th 9 subject. The salary of th e Presi dent of the United States is; at the best, a most inadequate one. At _the commence ment of Our Government, twenty-five thou _ mmd dollars'per annum was perhaps a sufficient salary for the Executive of the infant republic. ; The times were primitive, the mode of living extremely simple, and the cost of living comparatively 'very low. But eighty years, have worked a great -change in all these respects, a Change which Ina beenrecogrlized andactedupon in every ether department of the Government. Why tbe salary of the President has not been in- Creased, in some proportion, to the enlarge snent of •the duties and dignity of the ottlee "i+ we do not:know. We shonl. be glad to see it made at least four times as large as it nos is, and it would" then be no more than a suitable emolument for a post of honor and importance, which we are i accustomed to consider the first in the gift of any nation. . 1 We believe ' this to be th general senti ment of the people, and it ' 1 not surprising that there should be a prof nd discontent with the - illiberal spirit, that has refused to the memory of our greatest President such a partial tribute as would have been implied by a suitable appropriation o his bereaved family. We dd not know - hat the precise circumstances of his family are, nor do we, think that those circumstances are a proper subject for Congressional inquiry. It iv as not an act of charity that Congress was called nylon "to perform, but one of justice and of generosity, and in the discharge of that duty it has signally failed. The careful provision for the deduction of any sums which may have been drawn on account of Mr.. Lincoln's salary, is the most offensive featffre of this extraordinary con gressional blunder. We presume thatevery precaution will be taken to see that Mrs. Lincoln does not get a 'penny beyond her lawful due. The experts of the Treasury Department will be very accurate in their calculations. From noon of March 4th to 7A.M. of April 15t1r, when Mr. Lincoln died, was exactly forty-one days and nine teen hours, and the salary actuallY earned by Mr. Lincoln amounts to precisely $2,863 561. This amount has probably been drawn upon, so that our munificent Congress will only have to call upon the Treasury for $22,136 4'•l. We hope Mr. McCulloch will see that it is very carefully counted out, to the last half-cent. If this pitiful appropriation is a proper mark of our estimate of Mr. Lincoln's worth, we hope Mr. Director Pollock will 'see if there is any way in which the Mint can get up a coin small enough to express the value to the country of the Committee by which the appropriation was made. A fact was stated in the course of a recent debate in a deliberative body, in this city, which has great significance, in view of the circumstance that what is known as the "eight-hoar movement" is still kept agi tated.. The fact stated was thrit the Glou cester Print Works, the largest establish ment of the kind in the country, had been loc_ated at Gloucester, instead of at Phila defphia, in order to avoid the ten-hour law of Pennsylvania. What would become of the remainder of our factories if twenty pe r cent. were taken off their productiveness is easily foretold. We have as sincere a desire to promote the welfare of the working man as any who are more blatant in their profes sions of friendship for him, and because we are ourselves workers we are un willing that either we" or any oth..?rs who have the original injunction to earn their bread by, the sweat of their brow resting upon t ieir, should be hampered or trammeled by I: , gislation. The mass of the people who are enlisted in this eight-hour movement are honestly engaged in a measure that ther, imagine will better their condition; but they are the dupes of designing raft who desire to use them for their own purposes. These same men are also theadvocates of free trade on the same catch-vote , principle. Free trade and eight hours a day ! Can a greater absurdity be imagined? The present rates of duties are higher than they have ever been - since the United States came into ex istence as a Government, yet the cheap labor of Europe enables—the importer to bring into the country very many articles of Eu ropean manufacture and to compete with the American manufacturer upon his own soil. Suppose these duties to be taken off* and twenty per cent, to be added to the cost of American products by the dimindtion of the hours of labor to that extent, and what then becomes of 'the American artisan? Our print works iv Nd not only cross the Dela ware, but the ould cross the ocean, and Manchester, She eld, Birmingham, Hud dersfield and Leeds would supply us with cottons and hardware, while Phila delphia, Gloucester, Pittsburgh, and Lowell would present the cheerful as pect of closed factories and starving opera tives. This must be the inevitable result of the practical working of "free trade and eight hop gym g day;" it is as plain a proposition as that try,-9 i.),Cd two make four, and no amount of- irophis.trY and no display of dema gogti9ish blatheting can make the conse quences different. We are 'unwilling, for other reasons, that sumptuary laws should be made for the toiling million any. more than for the luxu rious ten thousand. All are equal t)ef9r9 our laws, and our State Legislature has fid more right to limit the hours of toil of the Qm than it has to restrict the periods of rest of the oda, Let ..-the working man asseq his independence and his Panhood, which involve the right to work as Diehl hours as Lie thinks proper, or as few as he can afford to: and let him frown down any interference with his hours of labor as indignantly as he would dennut&e any meddling with his diet or his dress. We are ourselves toilers, and we insist that no law shall dictate whether we burn the midnight gas . Qt egg from extr labors at noon. ViTe would like to ket all our toiling brethren irfailitain the same stand, whether thty shove the jack-plane, batter paving stones, lay bricks, drive the shuttle, dole out physic, talk Blackstone, or ply the pen.
