This prevents the old law from taking effect on January 1st, and gives the Senate an opportunity to discuss the House bul now before them. . -The problem of directing the coarse of bal? loons tl will has spparently been solved by a ? ' Frenchman. His Invention consists of a power? ful exhauster, by which a partial vacuum ls formed before the balloon, which is consequent? ly driven forward. The Emperor of the French takes much interest in the Idea, and has con? tributed funds towards carrying it ont on a large ?cale. -The Washington correspondents affirm that there ls authority for the statement that several Republican members of Congress have declared that they would not have voted for the Georgia bul had they then known and understood the facts in respect to Governor Bullock, as presented in the letter of Angler, the State auditor, read at the clerk's desk of the House. They speak of vo? ting to repeal the law. -Female apathy and contempt have killed off two of the women suffrage associations in New Yaric City-the twa that made the most noise and promised the greatest longevity. One was a ''Woman Suffrage Association" by name, and the ether was exactly the same thing, under the milder and more captivating title of the "Work ingwomen's Union." Among the members of each were women of as mnch brains, persistence, logic and loquacity as any similar body has ever boasted of. Virginia bas the largest debt-$45,000,000-and is the least able to pay for lt. New Tork cornea next, with a debt of nearly $40,000.000. Pennsyl? vania owes $35,000,000; Tennessee $34,000,000; Louisiana $12,eoe,ooo; Massachusetts $12,000,000; North Carolina $ll,oso,ooo; Ohio $10,000,000; Con? necticut $1,000,000; Missouri $7,000,000; Illinois, South Carolina and Georgia, each $6,000,000 ; Texas, Michigan, Wisconsin, Rhode Island and Kentucky, each $3,000,000; Maine $6,000,000; New Jersey $2,000,000; Kansas $1,000,OCO; Iowa, Dela? ware and Maryland are out of debt; Minnesota, Oregon and Mississippi are blessed with very small debts. The total debts of all the States amount to about $250,000,000. -A New York letter, dated Christmas eve, says: "The preparations for Christmas this year are exceeding all precedents in this city. Broadway has been thronged with shoppers all day; money has been expended without stint, and wm reap? pear as gladdening gifts in the conventional stocking to-morrow morning. Especially thc "dollar stores," which are a new feature on Broadway, have driven a thriving business. The scenes at some of these bazaars were surprising. The largest, which extends from Broadway through to Mercer street, two hundred feet deep, has been so crowded with customers at times, that lt was not safe for s person to venture far from the door. We only lack the sleighing to make to-morrow the merriest Christmas that ever dawned on the metropolis." -The coming to the United States of Mr. Fech? ter, a reputed great actor, bas already been an? nounced. The arrival of an actor who has won fame In France and England may be cons! .ered an event in its way. Among European act? rs Mr. Feohter's character and position are said to be unique. He was a success on the French stage before he essayed to win new honors upon that of England. His Shakesperean impersonations more particularly his Hamlet and Iago-have en? gaged, lt is stated, the thoughtful attention of the best of English critics. His Ruy Birts, his Legsrdere, and his Claude Mclnotte have long been the themes of commendation. His first ap? pearance, we believe, will be in New York on the Uta of January, in the character or Ruy Blas, at ?tole's Garden, under the management of Messrs. -Jarrett A Palmer. Miss Carlotta Leclercq will appear with Mr. Fechter. She has a very high r?putation as an actress, and ls said to be a beau? tiful woman. -Senator WUson, who likes to be friendly and eenfidential with everybody, went up to the White Hojuse to converse with the President npon ?'this sad business of thc rejection of Hoar." He found the Executive nnamlable, disappointed and surprised. The newspapers, he said, had informed him that the nomination had been laid ?pon the table, and he naively inquired if that wah equal to a rejection ? The ubiquitous Mor ton i WhOhappened in, kindly explained that "nuder the oircamstanoos it was;*' whereupon the PreO dent expressed his "regret." and said he thor Hoar would be an acquisition to the Supr Bench. Ko reply seems to have been rn to this modest avowal except by adding in to injury, in proposing the removal of Hoar f: the Cabinet, and pressing Judge Erskine, (ieorgta, for thc beuch. Judge Hoar takes r tcrs very coolly. He Is reported as having : that ir thc Senate preferred to have him tl years and a hair in the Attorney-General's ol instead of confirming him ns a Justice or Supreme Court, he was willing. Thc quesi arises, however, that with a President so c plaisant towards thc Senate, is he absolutely s of his three years and a hair or office ? Free Trade in Labor. It lias been hastily assumed by a nun ous class of writers, that combinations workmen bound, to each other by rules wh restrict, under certain self-imposed cor tions, the sale of their labor, must needs at variance with the fundamental axiom: political economy, as being opposed to F Trade. This position overlooks a disti tion of great importance, the distinction tween freedom of exchange in the produ of labor and unrestricted competition labor itself. Recent legislation in Erjglt fully illustrates this distinction. . Aftei controversy which exhausted ali the arj ments derived both from theory and practi the nation became convinced that the ex eise of the power of buying and selling co modities according to the dictates of in vidual self-interest alone, was the mode which thc wealth of the country and the terests of all classes in it were most effec ally advanced. In England, the principle freedom of exchange, or Free Trade, rei? paramount and unchallenged. But conci rently with the statutes which have giv effect to Free Trade, the Legislature sai tioned sensible restrictions upon freedom labor. "Was Parliament upholding the cai of truth and freedom with one hand, a smiting it down with another? No writer states the case more clearly th the Duke of Argyle, who, while he strenuoi ly upholds the doctrine of free exchange commodities, points out what arc tho principles and motives of human natui which inevitably tend, unless legal restri tion be interposed, to produce a competitii of labor destructive to health, morality ai the higher interests of society. Childe who, exercising no volition of their own, a bound over to their taskmasters by the c pidity or selfishness of their parents, cann bc regarded as "free laborers." Similar considerations apply to female 1: bor. It is not free competition, but author ty or coercion which drives a large mimbi of women into the labor market. And wit regard to men, who are willing and fre competitors for labor, it needs only a littl consideration to see how liable they are, ni der the pressure of competition, to sacrifie their own highest interests. Upon this sui ject the Duke of Argyle, in "The Reign ( Law," says : "In all that wide circle of operations wide have for their immediate object the getting c wealth, there is a sagacity and a cunning ii the Instincts of labor and in the love of gain compared with which our legislative wisdon is ignorance and folly. But thc interests o labor, having for their conscious purpose th? acquisition of wealth, are lustincts which, un der the stimulus and pressure of modern so ciety, arc blind to all other results whatever They over-ride even the love of life ; thei silence even the fear of death. Trades ii which the laborers never reach beyond middW life-trades in which the labor is uniformly fatal within a few years-trades in which those who follow them are liable to loathsome ano" torturing disease-all are filled by the enlist ment of an unfailing series of recruits. If therefore, there be some things desirable ot needful for a community other than the acqtil sltlon of wealth-if mental ignorance and phy Bical degeneracy be evils, dangerous to social and political prosperity, then these result? cannot and must not be trusted to the instinct of individual men. And why? Because the few motives which bear upon them, and whlcb consequently determine their conduct, have become almost as imperious as the motiven which determine the conduct of thc lower ani? mals." . If then, in the words of an Edinburgh Re vieira; some interposition be necessary to save those who are enslaved cither to the cupidity of others, or to their own thirst ol gain, from the consequences of such excess; if it be necessary that some check should be placed on the freedom of individals who would madly sacrifice their own interests, and those of others also, in a blind pursuit of selfish advantage-then may the Legisla? ture, as representing the national will, inter? pose to restrict the competition of labor within the limits which the paramount in? terests of the community prescribe. This restriction is no invasion of thc true province of political economy. That science proceeds on the assumption that the princi? ples of human nature and tho circumstan? ces of man's external situation are 30 adjust? ed, that to leave free scope to thc natural impulses of men is tho surest way to bring about the general advancement of wealth and social improvement. In regard to the exchange of products, experience fully con? firms this assumption. Butin regard to the operations of labor, the same ground fails. The principles of human nature, left un? checked, do not tend to promote the well? being of all, or even of Hie individual. To the frightful moral evils produced by unfet? tered indulgence, the nation applies a legis? lative check. And if the will of thc nation, expressed in coercive statutes, may, without infringing sound economic laws, step in to restrict the competition of thc labor market, why may not voluntary combination do the same? If a Parliament, in the interest of the workmen, is competent to limit the boora of labor in a factory, why not the workmen for themselves ? Trades' Unions do not, according to these views, involve, ipso facto, a violatiou of eco? nomic principles. Free Trade is not necessa? rily violated, whenever men agree together not to work except upon certain specified terms of remuneration. Such an agreement may induce to very desirablo moral and physical results; it may be carried out with? out derogating at all from any sound canon of Political Economy. % i m > ? . Wp. invite the earnest attention of all thinking men to the letrwr of our Beaufort correspondent, printed this morning. Tito negroes in Beaufort obtained horses, furni? ture and provisions without cost, ami land at a nominal price. They have worked after a fashion for three or four years ; for a long time they had the comfort and support of the Freedman's Bureau. And now they are, according to onr correspondent, worse oil' than they were in slavery time3. A New Labor-Scheme. Thc political economista just now an? all agog over tbc question.of how to furnish an adequate supply of trustworthy labor to the South, and SO enable thc planton to crop a faller area, and reap more abundant resulte. The latest scheme devised lo accomplish this end, is. copied from the practice prevail? ing in England, where bodied of men from Scotland und Ireland make their appear? ance with the annual harvests, help lo cut and gather the same, and then return l.ome. The St? Louis Republican calls attention tn thc new movement, and says: "Our readers "are aware that the cotton and sugar crop "are not usually gathered and saved before "December, and frequently not till Februa "ry, the harvest of these great staples com "mencing only at the time in t hc fall when "thc grain and grass crops of Hie West and "Northwest are completely gathered. Tims "what we call 'harvest' in this latitude, isen "tirely over bj the middle of September, when "cotton-picking in the South bas not fully "begun, and cain-grinding is still a month "distant. It occurred to Southern planters "that the laborers who had finished the har "wst in the We3t might be employed to "assist in securing thc crops at the South, "and a number of them came to Illinois and "Indiana in October to look for hands. They "succeeded beyond their expectations, and "returned witta a force of industrious laborers "sufficient to pick their cotton and grind their "cane.independent of unreliable negroes who, "in some places, leave the plantations at "the time when they are most needed. One "planter went to Chicago, and chose twenty "six men out of three hundred applicants "who offered their services. They are to re "main in Louisiana all thc winter until "April, when? if they desire to. they can rc "turn to assist, in putting in the crop in Illi? nois." There seems to be a determination on the part of the Southern planters and ag? riculturists to give this plan a fair trial. OUR Florence correspondent reports sever? al incendiary tires, which caused a heavy loss of property to the unfortunate sufferers. We again call upon Governor Scott to do for decent white men what he would gladly do for Radicals or negroes-to issue a pro? clamation offering a reward for the arrest of j the incendiaries?
