NEWS OF THE DA Y. -Gold dosed In New York yesterday at 27. -In New York cotton closed a shade finner. .. Sales 2000 bales. Middlings 2?xa25 -In Liverpool yesterday cotton closed steady. Uplands ilxallXd. Orleans lltfallXd. Sales 13,000 bales. -Cincinnati is to have a new $400,000 mer? chants' exchange. -With two exceptions, both caused by ill health, ail the English CathoUc 'Bishops will take their seats at the Council of tho Vatican. -The Macon Journal and Messenger has been purchased by A. W. Reese, Esq., who, until a few months ago, had charge of its editorial columns. -The President's message has already been thc subject bf Cabinet consultation, and rumor says it wiU certainly reiterate the doctrine of the first . message on the. financial question, and possibly .ask Congress to Ax on an early day forephcle re? sumption. -The extensive drug establishment of J. H. Zeilin ? Co., ax Macon, Ga., was partially destroy - ' ed by Are on Thursday last. The loss ls estimated ' at between twenty-five, and thirty thousand dol? lars on the stock of drugs, medicines, paints, Ac, ana at least $1500 on the building, -It ls a difficult task to snit every one. The -proposed revision of the English Prayer Book brings this fact out pretty prominently. Take - the question of a revision or the marriage ser? vice alone. The Pail Mall Gazette says In sab stance that some object to the phrases tn it (< mit? red from the American version.) which speak too plainly, and, as some think, immodestly, or the marriage relation. Others think that there should he at least another form to be used In the case of persons to whom some of tts assumptions do not apply. Others find lt too religious, and want the service to recognize marriage as a civil rela? tion, while others think that, S3 it stands, lt ls not religious enough. -There ls a row among the Mormons. The ed? itor or the Utah Magazine publishes certain arti .des obnoxious to toe policy ot Brigham Young, whereupon the latter called a meeting or the Council and issued an order of excommunication. Among other assertions, the order says that "it , Is apostacy to differ honestly with the measures of the President''-confirmed by a remark of Pr?sident Wells that "we might as well ask the -question whether a man had a right to differ with the Almighty." Thus the doctrine was > unqualifiedly asserted that'the Almighty and the priesthood, so far as its official dic? tates .were concerned, were to be accepted as one and the same thing, on pain of excom? munication from the church. The rejected mem? bers have published a protest against the action or the Council. Believing in free speech, they hold that it bi an illegal and an un? righteous use ot the holy priesthood to expel any person from the church because they cannot con? scientiously admit the divinity of any measure presented 'by the priesthood. After asserting their intention to continue In their business, they prophesy that "men ?hall yet learn that the true n?sslon of priesthood is to teach and not to control, and In our midst shall stand the same priesthood' that we believe lb to-d?y, but whose greatest glory sholl be that they represent a spirit irora which every priuolple of coercion has been wiped away." -The Cuban agents at Washington are about to pojbttsb ? statement of the effect of General Ces pede's proclamation regarding the destruction or "the growing cane. Up to this time the Cuban in? surgente have hever attempted to destroy sugar" plantations, except in the east end or the Island, where there are very rcw. In the right season, wheh there was a company ol Spanish soldiers intrenched In each or the sugar works, a band or twenty-five men was sufficient to fire the cane lu .half, a dozen garrisoned estates almost within ?Bight or each other. When dry enough, and before ready for the mill, thc cane-fields burn like coal oil. Accldcutal flies have been known to spread through nine mlle or ?mgar-canc in three hours. The burning ordered, loug planned and systematized, will take place up to within an hour's ride or Havana. One hun? dred thousand troops could not stop lt. When about one hundred estates are burned, which will occur the first week or operations, the Incredu? lous sugar interest will begin to believe, and su? gar will jump up ten per cent, at a time. A glance at the memorial or thc Cubans shows: ?rat, that hair the sugar used in the United States comes from Cuba; second, that sugar and tobacco give the batted States over $25,000,000 revenue; third, that thc United States export ..$1L<H?,000 of provisions; fourth, rrom $5,000,000 to ?7.00J.OOO of machinery; firth, the profits made In the United States by sugar refineries. The loss to the United States is reckoned at a high figure, but ls certainly $00,000,000 or $00,000,000, ami that not for one year, but for the next and next, and all m gu? have been avoided by recognition. . -At last New York is to have a market which for size and beauty ls not to bc surpassed by auy In the world. This new institution is to be locat? ed at thc foot 01 Thirty-fourth street, North River, and ground will soon be broken. It will be a rec? tangular structure, eight hundred feet in length and two trundled in width, thus enclosing a mar? ket, space 0. WO.OOO square feet, thc largest area ??'My bnliding on the Continent. There will be tout' grand entrances, oue?n each avenue, one on Thirty-fourth street and one on Thlrty nfth street. On either side or these en? trances are sereu other gates for ready in? gress and egress, and. seventeen spacious win? dows to light the stalls within. There are three distinct roofs-the great central iron span of one hundred feet and seventy-five feet in height, and those of the two wings each thirty-eight feet high. This central roof ls dome-shaped, surmounted by a ventilating roor, broken at intervals by mina? rets. From the centre or this roor and above thc south and north gates rises the grand tower to an elevation of one hundred and ninety-two feet and of the most graceful form. This tower will bc constructed altogether of iron, and, at an eleva? tion of one hundred and forty feet, will present to the cardinal points thc faces of a great clock. This side elevation or the building promises to be very imposing In Its immense sweep of eight hundred feet. There wUl also be an outer mar? ket on the river front, west or Twelfth avenue, a building with open sides, tho roo! supported on iron columns. This budding will be one hundred feet by two hundred feet, and from Its western end will project Into the river a pier three hun? dred feet long by forty wide. The cost of the building wUl be $1,000,000. The Wages of Labor. In connection with the proposition, now assuming tangible shape, to unite the work? ing classes o? the city in one general Pro? tective Union, it is importaut to determine whether the low rate of wages which now prevails is due to oppressive combinations on the part of the employ??, or to natural causes alone. The ranting demagogue roundly asserts that all employers are tyrants, and all un? combined workmen something more abject than slaves. But tbe claptrap of the venal declaimer will have no lasting effect; the more especially us those who must bear the brunt of the new movement, cannot afford to make a false start by ignoring altogether hard facts and the counsels of cool and so? ber reason. At the very outset, we must admit the riglit of every employer to go into the market and engage his workmen ut the lowest market price. There is nc economic reason why he should pay one farthing more than the ka. i rate at which the men who snit him are wil? ling and ready to work. All that can be demanded of bim, as of the workingman, is that he shall faithfully carry out the stipula? tions of his bargain. This is a cold-blooded view, it is true, of the connection between capital and labor; but it is, nevertheless, the true on?. The priests of Jthe new Evan? gel may preach that ?an organized religious "influence will hereafter induce employers "to concede to their men, ^voluntarily, a "larger share of their profit than any Trade "Union could extort from them;" and it may suit the' fanciful, who have no months of women and children to fill, to accept the calm assurance of M. Comte that the prov? ince of the capitalist is "action and author? itative direction." Until, however, the final triumph of the Religion of Humanity, most of ns will be disposed to confess that the prime object of the employer is to accu? mulate v. ?alth, not to do good to the work? ingmen. Ethical considerations have little practice.! bearing upon the relations of labor and capital. At the first glance it may seem that the freedom of the employer from all check or restraint has had much to do with keeping down the price of ' work. But there has been no combination among the capitalists to lower the remuneration of the worker. They have only taken cheap labor as they found it, and if one man refused to work for the price whick. Waa. -?Bar?d thoy had no difficulty in Hailing others who would an? swer their purpose as well. There was no combination to force higher wages, and a half loaf was better than none. The real cause of the present unsatisfac? tory remuneration of workingmen in Charles? ton may be found, we firmly believe, not in a combination of employers, or an absence of combination among the employed, but in the want of capital to be used in new un? dertakings, and in the unprofitable nature of the investments already made and now carried on. This is enough to make labor cheap; for the supply is steadily growing in volunii. while the demand is at least at a stand btllL The Linking or active capital of the State was destroyed by the war, which also swept away the slave capital, which enters into thc calculation at this stage only as far as it was a means of procuring monied cap? ital, which, in one way or another, would give employment to the laborer. * No foreign capital could be procured ; the masses were staggering under a load of debt; all that could be relied on was the profit which should gradually accrue from agriculture and from commerce. The agriculturists have been moderately successful, and have relieved themselves of their heaviest embar? rassments. They have a surplus, apart from what has been paid away, out of the State and in it, for implements and stock. This surplus is hoarded np; it is dead; it gives employment to no one, and, as a creator of a demand for labor, might as well be at the bottom of the Atlantic. And in the cities there is the same chain of cause and effect. Some capital has been gathered up; but we bave now less than a million dollars of bank? ing capital against twelve or thirteen millions in 1860. There is not money enough to carry on the purely mercantile branches of our trade. We are hampered and restrained by want of means, and there is no hope of an immediate change for the bettor. We have now partially accounted for the absence of those expenditures in manufac? tures upon which depend the fortunes of the mechanic. The foundries and machineshops have not been wholly idle, but it is open to consideration whether they have not been worked as much to the prolit of the work? man as to that of the employer. Thc de? mand for our manufactures has been limited, and most master mechanics have done little more than hold their own. Look also at the condition of tire city as affecting the brick? layers, carpenters, painters and workers iu iron. The heart of Charleston was burned out eight years ago, and what has boen done to lill up the void ? Thc burnt district is the burut district still. And this is suscep? tible of reasonable explanation. Under thc slave system more house-room was neces? sary Utan is needed now. Loss of fortune compels several families to occupy the same dwelling. Daring tue last nine years the white population-the house-building popu? lation-lias not increl Taxe3 arc exor? bitantly high, and in ci nsequence of tho absence of demand for Koiise-room, rents are exceeding y low. Real esiute ?loe-; not pay mora than bi. or se.ven per cenL upon the Investment, ami there is no inducement to build, except so far as may be iudispen X ? A SU V/XajB-lt/XJJLJk? X, ?able to meet the actual wants of the mo? ment. Still the bottom has been touched. Our prospects grow steadily brighter. But there is not yet active prosperity enough to make labor richly profitable. We have now sketched out the main rea? sons which appear to account for the low rates of wage3 of which our workingmen complain. It is our desire to see them well paid-the higher the better; but we ask them whether they can expect, under the circum? stances, to obtain more pay for their work by a simple requisition that their pay be in? creased? They may organize thoroughly and prepare to seize the first opportunity that offers itself for improving their posi? tion. Can they, however, see their way clear to obtain, at once, an increase in wages which would swallow up the small margin of profit now left to the employers, and check, for a time at least, a great part of the work now going on ? Two colored men have been arrested on suspicion of having fired the premises of Mr. Alfred Ayer, and aro now in the Barnwell jail. The evidence against them is of such a character as to leave no doubt of their guilt. Will "His Excellency" see that these men are punished as they deserve ? THE ginhouse of Mr. IT. Simpson, of Barn? well, was burned down one night last week. Will Governor Scott send up his constables and see that the incendiaries are brought to justice ? tooms.
