THE SCIENTIFIC ELEVATION OF
LABOR—HOW IT CONCERNS PITTS
BURGH:
Had we not all sinnedy ADAM'S fall,
would man be more happy in hia ignor
ance of,that vast fund' of knowledge which
the race has accumulated in its silty cen
turies of submission to the first sentence i
of Divine Wrath? Philosophers may spec- '
ulate upon his condition as he - would now
have been, without the original or any sub
sequent transgression, and may institute'
curious comparisons, between the Para
disaical simplicity of the myriad 'descend
ants of a sinless ADA.M, swarming over the
ylimet in that : state of unsophisticated, art
less and lovely Nature which our first par
ents forfeited, and the present
; state of the
face, socially and , intellectually, resulting
from the great obligation ,of Labor for
Bread. Let us leave such speculationato
the i philosophers, not even disputing their
unanimous deduction that the curse was
really a blessing 'in disguise. It is enough
for us to know that, Labor is made the first
duty of man, as it ;is of the first necessity
to individual or social existence.' With the
need forlabor, came the instinct for its guid
ance in the method most effective .of results.
ADAM'S first efforts in that direction, even
under an eight-hour system, would natur
ally have led him to some advance beyond
mere main strength and ignorance. As an
intelligent being, he probably ; made some
sort of use of his, inventive faculties, before
the first sun-set, and thereby illustrated the
dignity and intellectual phases 'of Labor,
even while the personal memories of Eden
were still fresh, 4d from that day on-
Ward, through all these thousands of years,
theinultiPlying children of the earth have
studied the intellectual problem Which
should give to , LaliOr its largest results at
the smallest cost.
• The rights of Labor depend upon an intel
ligent understanding of its objects and its
proper results.• The dignity of Labor is,
quiy comprehended in the remembrance
that it is a necessity incumbent upon all the
race. And the elevation of, Labor can only
be accomplished by the clear perception of
the equal need for - its intelligent guidance.
The hands avail as the brain directs them;
and Labor is effective exactly in proportion
as Science shall lead it to a maximum of re
sults with a minimum of expenditure. The
world has made vast progress in that direc
tion—progress ao great that it begins fairly
to
f-p Coinprehend, the illimitable magnitude of
'the field oractical discovery upon which
.it has but post entered. Science draws
each day nearer to Art; and Labor rises,
by 'slow but sure degrees; ' as it responds to
the, instruCtion 'of the hrain, towards its
Ifeaveu-ordained rank as the duty, the safe
ty and the hope of mankind. In the pro
gress of the world, the co-relations of scien
tific knowledge and.the !power of the mere
animal man become more. intimate, and
more essentially an element in national as
wellss individual developmgit. We hold
it therefore to be the highest 'obligation of
a wise and well-ordered goveritment that it
should provide its people with Scientific and
technical instruction, exhausting therefor
the entire field of practical knoWledge. To
'Americana this obligation should address it
self with peculiar. power. We li - ave entered
into the /rivalry of nations, with ad
vantages 'and disadvantages' specially re
sulting from our political and social
'characteristics, i as' well as from our
location ; on this iluarter • of the planet.
With institutions essentially antagonistic to
any others t in Christendom, our statesmen
perceive that the - material and the political
indePendence of the Republic depend upon
the same conditions, and are not independent
of each other. Our climate, soil andminer
al resources supply us with every natural
element of superiority. Our people rAand
in the first rank' of Christian - enlighten.'
ment and Scientific knowledge. We have
nearly forty milliops of human beings,
whose' material needs are to be, supplied
with the yroducts of labor in every depart
ment-of manufacture. Agricultdre and
manufactures meat feed and clothe them.
Art, in all its varigty of form; must supply
the 'Wants; the superflUities as well as, the
necesities, of an enlightened, wealthy and
luxury-loving,people. Why should we not
create all that we ourselves are to consume?
Why should we be dependent upon other,
'nations for these ifroducts which are regard;
less of the zones, and which 4therican Labor
hasi all the natural ability to yield ? Why
shonlihwe need to look-to Europe for cloths
'or metala; or', chemicals; or Machinery, or
ought else, better, or cheaper than our own
artizans can produce in our midst ? - ;Why
shoUld we need tariffs, for the.protection of
our own dearer or less skilled labor against
the destructive competition•of cheaper Or
better -workmen abioad ? Why is that

superior to til l ttT °wit: For it mast he a::ml
te!1 to bt'l Itrue that, in nearly , erl•
line of the,higher walks of Productiie Ar#,
the foreign and especially the Continental
manufacturer either attains an absolutely
higher grade of production, or, for the same
price, he can deliver a bitter article upon
our shores. There are exceptions, which
might be specified, but the general, truth is
as stated. -
Our workmen are, in Some respects, far
more intellirrent than-those of Europe. In
general education, in comprehension of po
litical truths, in every department of knowl
edge, except some of the specialties Of La
bor, the American artizan is frilly ur to the'
lieSt standard of an enlightened citizenship.
Our inventions fill the workshops, the armo
ries, the palaces and the cottages of Christen
dom, but it is too often true that the Amer
ican brain has profited the foreign hand
more than , our own, and the English or the
French manufacturer undersells our markets
with goods upon which an American patent
was first stamped. And since this is so,
there exist abundant' reasons, in a sound
pu lie policy, why our 'Home Industry,
co peting at any disadvantage, should be
fo:tered and protected by such discriminat
in. imposts as shall equalize the respective
co ditions.
I , he triumphs of American production,
, he sposition pf last year at Paris, were
y fekv. Such as-were there were very,
idedi. Not all the world could present
,
the equals of our locomotives, sewing ma
chines and pianos. But the triumphs of
American genius, wrought out by the AV
plied Science of European nations, were
found in every department which displayed
the productions of a civilized people. With
an inventive capacity which rivaled that of
the English,. and with a perfection of detail
which in a few instances far exceeded the
cunning of English handiwork, we as well
as they were completely eclipsed in the
field of Technical Knowledga and Practical
Science, by the'superior adroitness,
.fidelity
and instructed skill of the French and Ger
man workmen. The inferiority; as:_an en
tire class, of the American as well as the
English contributions to that display was
painfully recognized by all who spoke the
Anglo-Saxon tongue, while the Amer
ican visitors were but "partially recon
ciled in perceiving that more than one
triumph of our rivals had been won
by their more successful practical applica
tion of our own discoveries in mechanism.
his not remarkable therefore that the Eng
lish and American jurors and visitors - drew
the one and only inference that the case ad
mitted of; they accepted the indubitable
proof before them, that in the familiar adapta
tion of scientific knowledge to the, various
processes ot-operative industry, the nations
of the European continent were far in
ad
vance of any profitable competition:
The enquirruaturally suggested was as
easily answered. France, Belgium, Germa
ny and Switzerland abound with Scientific
Schools :for technical instruction, which i
yearly send out their thousands of worn- 1
plished workmen, of whom a very large
proportion bennmn enrolled at once in the
great body of the operative etazq. In due
time, the ranks of the overseers, foremen,
managers and proprietors are recruited
from these workmen, who, in whatever
grade of employment; know precisely how
effectually Science is an aid to Productive
Art. The apprentice of a twelve-month
does not aspire to the skilled workman's,
place, nor doea the artizan, familiar with
one specialty; for that reason hold himself
acquainted with all others. As a Glaris, the
foreign workmen are faithfully, patiently
and thoroughly instructed, and, to a very
great extent, scientifically as well as practi
cally trained,
Herein is'seen the deficiency of American
Labor. We need the better, the thorough
instruction of our operative classes. We
shotild enable them to enlarge their scientific
knowledge of principles. We need Scien- ,
title. Schools, which at a small cost,shall give
practical instruction in the higher walks of , `
Art ; 'Schoela which shall acquaint the
1 pupil with material properties, asswell as
uses; which shall teach him why the given
result, is, obtained, is well as .to secure that
result most certainly and profitably. We
n,
need to educate Labor into the mastery of
practical science, and to the com and of the
favorable conditiOns which knowledge can
impart. And American Labor so instructed
will find itself qualified for successful com
petition with any foreign skill, and may ulti
mately come to dispute the home-markets
of those nations which now supply our con
sumption.
These suggestions seem to us to apply
with peculiar force to the interests of Labor
in our city of Pittsburgh. Over all this
brosui continent, there appears no spot where
Opeiative Industry and Productive Art are
so actively concentrated. Here ,Manufac
ture floats its, broadsombre flag over almost
every•known department of iandicmft, and
the rights, .the dignity and 'the duty of La
bor are questions which come home to every
class of our citizens. Here, with. peculiar
fitness • and success, might he illustrated the
~of Technical and Scientific Educa
tion. A School of Alta and Mines, estab
lished in this city, and instructing its pupils
thorougidy, and. at a cost no greater than is
involved in the other common or public
ichools, seems to tis not - only of special
necessity, but as promising to be of. re
markable adiantage to our material in:
tercets. The' work and the workmen
of Pittsburgh would• then take a• still
higher rank,; and would continue, ' e
future generations, to maintain, against all
rivalries,' the manufacturing repute of our
-people. With such 'peculiar facilities ' for
the application.of Science to Production, a
systematic scheme, of instruetio might
easily be inaugurated, and, In due time, its
results would be reaped in profit an hundred
Tell Why should, not our Western Uni
versity, already equipped as It IT, be sup

TSE IMIIRTEENTII
The ratification of the Fourteenth A.Mend
ment of the Constitution by the Legislature
of Georgia completes the incorporation
thereof into the fundamental law, even ac
counting as valid the withdrawal - of assent
by Ohio and NeW Jersey. Consequently the
Secretary of State has issued another and
unconditional notification of the acceptance
of the amendment.
Unless, therefore, the Democrats are pre
pared to resort to revolutionary violence, as
suggested by BLAIR, Emma, Too Mas, and
many of
. their le ding newspapers, the es
tablishment of bl k suffrage in the seced
ing States must e regarded as . final; as,
ilso; the deducti n of the black population
from the whole number 'of the inhabitants
of all the other States in hereafter determin
ing representation in Congress and the Elec
toral Colleges.' Under this latter provision,
Maryland and Tennessee will each lose one
member of Congress and one elector after
1870, , unless they shall enfranchise their
colored people. If the blacks are not -al
lowed to vote f r themselves, it is clear that
nobody ought to be permitted to vote in
their stead and against their consent.
,
pennsylvan* . has shout sixty thousand
black inhabits ts; not ), enough to diminish
her represent ion unless a large fraction
shall become a mriterial element in the com
putation- Nearly one-half of this:; black
population is in Philadelphia. Chester
Washington
county has 6,100, LancaSter 4,000, Alle
gheny-3,000, 2,000, and York
1;500.
.The r_esidue are scattered thinly
throughout the State. If these- blacks
ilibuld be admitted to the right of suffrage
'the aggregate vote of the Commonwealth
would be increased about twelve thousand.
In the present condition of popular opinion
this increase will not be4ermitted.

~ T he Bloated Bondholders:,
The Hon. Am6sa Walker, in an article
upon the of the Bondholders," in
Lippincott's Magazine for August, after
enumerating the various classes which
would suffer by repudiation, says:
"The Savings - Banks have, from the first
to the present time, invested largely in the
National bonds. All the interest they have
received upon loans made .before the war,
which, according to the terms of payment,
should have been paid in gold, or in paper
on a par with gold, have been paid in green
backs, which they were compelled by law
to take; and, to a large extent, they hays in
vested these in the public stocky, as also the
deposits made with them from time to time,
amounting to many millions, and belonging
In a great degreeto the poorer classes, who,
as we have seen, were certainly not 'bloat
red,' if indeed they were not horribly de
pleted by, the issue of legal tenders. Are
they not, then, entitled to full payment?
Did they not pay what to them was the
equivalent ? Will they be unduly 'enriched
at the expense of the nation,' if they receive
gold for what to them had stand for gold,
and which; perhaps, they received, under
legal compulsion, for actual gold? These
institutions must hold over one hnndred
millions of dollars in United States bonds.
"The collegestuad other literary and sci
entific institutions of the country, too, have
funds consisting largely of Government
bonds. Upon the income from. those they
- rely to eke out the small "Salaries- of their
professors or teachers. So, also, of the
hospitals and other public charities, 4ecular
and sacred, of every name and description
—all are alike dependent on the faith of the

manufactures of the country made largi
profits by. the advance of commodities in

the pressing demand occasioned by the war.
They took great risks; they threw them
selves into the turbulent and perilous Cur

TEIE New York correspondent of the

On Thursday night, after the Democratic

Cob, ISRAEL PAINTER, a well known an
prominent Democrat of Westmorelarid coun
ty, Pa., (John Covode's district) and a-for
mer personal friend of Mr, Stanton, relates
the following incident in the career of Gen.
Grant:
I was sitting in Stanton's office one day
just after the news earhe of the battle of
t3biloh, no one then being - present, when
Stanton turned to me, holding in his hand
Grant's very modest dispatch. "Read that
said he. After I had, read it ,he said: "I
have a great mind to send -in his name for
Major General, what doyen think?" "Be-

and the name was sent in, and, before I
closed my business with Stantok -the,com

"Altadical Speee4 by a GeorjOigh
tgtlati* Coitesiandencs or the Cincinnati Com
mercial.t
The Hon. James L. S eward, resides at
Thomasville, in southern. Georgia,. but a
few miles from the Florida line. He is
known in all that country called In Georgia
the Wire Grass Region, and possesses great
influence. He has been in the Congress of
the United States, and in 1858 beat General
Bartow (killed on the rebel side at. first Bull
Run) for that office. He is a thorough
Georgian, a man of great popularity 'and
superior social position.
Mr. Seward addressed the people at At
lanta yesterday evening, and had the Hall
of Representatives crowded to heat him.
The manner and bearing of the audience
was, in striking contrast with that addressed
by Toombs. All present . were struck with
the difference. Mr. Seward speaks with
great energy and vehemence, and, from the
manner in which all hung upon his words,
it s was evident that his opinions are sought
fiir with eagerness. He opened somewhat
thus: -
FELLOW CITIZENS,: I appear before you
as a Georgian to speak to Georgians; to ad
dress you-on the ureatquestions before the
country. I desire to wound the feeling of
no one. = I wish to address your 'reason,
and not- your passions. Do you know
that you are upon the eve of a revo
lution? I tell you it is so. I was the
Charleston Convention when the late revo
lution was inaugurated. I opposed seces
sion then, and was denounced for it. What
is the result? To-day we are 1 the poorest
people in the world. If Generals Toombs
and Cobb made so sad a mistake then, I.
warn you not to follow them now. You
followed them through four years of bloody
war, which has left the country filled with
widows and-orphans, deprived of - means of
support, and our people a conquered and
oppressed race. But I forgive them, and
will not say that they were not patriotic;
but they made a mistake. While at WaSh
ington, in 1861, they were continually'send
ing telegraphic despatches advising Georgia
to secede. I don't charge them with crime,
but I do say they made a sad mistake then,
and are unsafe leaders now. Public liberty
is lost, and how shall, we regain it?, We are
a conquered people, a`nd must accept such
terms as the conquerpr dictates. assert
that Andrew Johnson put worse tettusupon
us than the Radical party him ever imposed.
He appointed a Provisional Gowernor; a
convention was called; the ordinance of se
cession twinned; a Legislature and State
government provided for; and what follow
ed? Why, Andrew Johnson actually re
quired, at the point of the bayonet, that we
should abolish slaiery, after it had been
abolished by military power and the proc
lamation of the President.
The reconstruction acts of Congress were
not the first terms submitted to the people of
the South. We rejected the first and more
liberal terms submitted to us, thus showing
a spirit of opposition to the government.
The reason why these reconstruction laws
were imposed upon us was that the North
ern people belioyed that the. Southern lead
ers were opposed to reconstruction. All of
this has been the result of the teachings of
such men as Toombs, Cobb and Ben. Hill.
If you accept the constitutional amend
ment, known as Article 14 you will, by that
means, put the suffrage question in the hands
of the' people of the State.
I do not look upon the enfranchisement
of the negroes in the same light as Toombs,
Cobb, and other leaders of the Democratic
party do. They take the position that the
enfranchisement of the negro degrades the
white ,man.
The elevation of the_ negro does not de
grade the white man. And I tell you, col
ored people, if the people North says you
have the right to vpte in the South, and
admit you to the right of citizens, you have
the right to demand that they admit you to
the same rights and privileges in the North.
I don't admit that the Southern peonle are
inferior to any nice on the earth, We are
conquered, and the North has put harsh
measures upon us, but let us accept them,
and get the State under the control of the
people of the State. The fourteenth article
will become a part of the constitution,
whether Georgia adopts it or. not, North
and South Carolina and Florida'will soon
adopt it, and . whether Georgia adopts it or '
not, if she returns to- the Union they will
have to - accept it. • ,
But the Democracy think if Seymour is
electedthese reconstruction-measures'will
be set aside. Well, let as see. Suppose they
elect Seymour,_ together with a majority in
the Rouse of Representatives; they cannot
change the Senate for four years to come.
Then what will they do? •Will they inau
gurate a revolution with Seymour 'at the
head and take possession of the Government
and turn the Senate out? If so, why has
I not Andrew Johnson, as Commander-in-
Chief of the, army and navy, 'done this
heretofore? I tell you the people of the
North will stand by the Governniblt;and
no matter what they tell you about figlitifig
for your rights, in opposition to 'the -03v
ernmput, they will not do it when the test,
comes. We were deceived by that cry in!
1801. I tell you if they can't get any one
else. to fight you, they will fight You with
the paupers of Europe and the regroes.

The press, also, has been a great power in

cease this strife, accept the condition inipos
