It provides that no minor under IS and mofemale shall be employed In any cotton, wool Jen, Jute or silk manufactory for more than ten i "hours a day, OT sixty hours a week, except when it ls necessary to make repairs to prevent the In? terruption or the ordinary running of the mills. .-..Conscience money'' seems to be more lu -vogue In Great Brltian than here. One payment of five thousand pounds sterling and several of one thousand each have been made In this way within a few years, and even loose sovereigns have been dropped Into the Brlrtsh treasurer's letter-box. Why does all thia money go to the pub . lie treasury ? Why arc these excited consciences tie vcr heard of as making restitution for private frauds* -The experimental brig Novelty, constructed simply os an iron tank to hold molasses in bulk, .arriving In Boston from Matanzas last week, dis? charged her cargo ofS8,ooo gallons, by means or pumps and hose, direct luto the resevoir or a reflnerr. She was refilled with Cochituate water, shipped a now crew, got ready Tor sea, and ac? tually departed within twenty-seven hours from tho time or her arrival. -A mass meeting or bankers and merchants, held at Chicago oa Saturday night, passed reso? lutions urging on Congress an immediate reduc? tion or at leas; $?\ooo,oao in the rates or national taxation, In view or the fact that there will be a surnlnsof $125,000,000 lu the treasury at the end of Hie fiscal year, and their belier that the pay? ment of the public debt a: the rate or $50,000.000 a year Is all that can bc reasonably asked or tax? payers. -The large Increase In the wages or agricultu? ral laborers in Ireland, which has taken place dur? ing, the. past twenty years, lt ls asserted, has not to the same extent improved the condition of the people, rn consequence of the corresponding seri? ous advance lu the cost or the prime necessaries ol lire. Thu?, In 1S40 the weekly cost per head or maintenance and clothing of thc inmatesjor the Irish poorhouses and workhous.-s was 37ji scents, while in 1809 it amountod to u% cents. So, too, on exaniluing the returns or the contract prices of the different anieles or consumption in the workhouses or 1S50 and 1570, li appears that -with the .exception or tea and sugar all other sup plles have largely Increased In price. -iThe-St. Louis journals report that the efice t or thc compressed air uppn tho men working In the caissons or the main piers or the bridge now -building across t>.e Mississippi, at that city, is JihjbJj uijuriouR. Over nrty or thc mea engaged Br?ning in the air chambers with cement have been prostrated by partial paralysis. In some Instances, a few days'rest has been sufficient to restore thc workmen to health, but recently four -or the men have died, and forty arc still in thc hospital, spine very low. but the majority in a fair way or recovery. At the coroner's inquest held upon one ,or the persons who had died, a fellow-workman festlfled that the men who ob. -served strictly the sanitary regulations establish? ed by the engiueers would not be injured, and that he never experlenged any serious effects "from the compressed air. The decease of his companion he attributed to Intemperate habits " The use of spirituous liquors will undoubtedly ! weaken the lungs and render, them, unable to resist the p: essure or two or three atmosph?res. -Her i: itannic Majesty's representatives at foreign courts are just now on a sort of. diplo? matic strike for higher wages, on thc plea that the costof living In the various countries to which 'they are sent has largely Increased within the last few years, and that the existing scale or compensation therefore ought to be, revised in .-.their favor,' else lt will be a problem to make both .ends meet.. According to estimates submitted by the British Diplomatic Corps, the expenses or eni Dassles In Europe have Increased from seventy al! the way up to three hundred per cent, within twenty years, and it Isstated that "a good deal of th: present dearness or living isalso attrlbutfd io the number of Americans who are accustomed 0 the high paper prices of their own country, and aire too apt to observe that every thing is very cheap, which Induces shopkeepers to raise their price accordingly." Thc American mission is also unpncedentedly expensive- and in China such ls the difficulty of obtaining any Hiing flt to eat, that sovereigns are expended where shillings were a few years ago. -Thc New York papers report In full the open? ing proceedings of thc trial of Daniel McFarland tnt killing Albtrt D. Richardson in thc Tribune ?nice, uudercircumstances with which the pub? lic arc familiar. Mr. McFarland, on leaving pris? on, entered a street car, accompanied by au oili? er.-, nobody recognizing him. On arriving at thc court-room he was admitted by a side door to the great disgust of bis fellow-citizens who were waiting to catch a glimpse of hint outside. He occupies a place beside his counssl. He looks pale and slight::* emaciated; was neatly dressed in black, his face smoothly shaved and his general demanor cool and collected. Soon after the arrival cf the prisoner he was joined by his little son Percy. They kissed each other and entered Into conversation. McFarland then addressed others freely. He said he was prepared to meetthe verdict what? ever it was, but he was confident lt would be fa? vorable. He was in much better health than when confined four months ago. Among the celebrities in court were Mayor nail, nenry Bergh and Court Joannes. Richardson's brother was also present, as well as Mr. Sage, Mrs. Rich? ardson's father. Thc counsel for the prosecution includes District Attorney Garvin, Noah Davis and Mr. Fellows. The prisoner is defended by John Graham, Charles S. Spencer and E. T. Gccry. The Last Device. No one can deny the marvellous dexterity of the Radical politicians. They have adop? ter1 tr?e principle that words are meant for the ! u pose of concealment. Whenever they have an iniquitous measure to pass they mask it in an honorable name and so "put "it through." Radicalism is the grandest humbug of history. It is plain to every one who has tte slight? est knowledge of the constitution, that Con? gress has transcended its powere. The case of General Ames, who has been thrust into the Mississippi senatorship at the point of the bayonet, is the latest case in point. A senator must be a resident citizen ; Ames is a citizen of Maine. An election of whatever sort must be free; Ames had military con? trol and possession of the ballr?i-box. He virtually elected himself and actually signed Iiis own credentials. But Congress has the right to guarantee to ench State a republi? can form of government, and is not General Ames a Republican ? Congress lias the right to decide upon the qualifications of its mem? bers, and has it not voted that he is eligible? Tlie fact is, as Senator Edmunds (Vermont Radical) stated during the discussion of this subject, that "the Republican majority in the "Senate was so strong that senators wore "apt to decide the question in advance of '.?ls consideration, and then attempt to Cnd "reasons for the conclusion at which they "had jumped." But now it would seem that they begin to become weary of this effort to lind special reasons for any act of unconstitutional leg? islation. Mr. Sumner, in debating the Geor? gia case, hos found a pretext which will war? rant all Congressional usurpations. He re? pudiates "technicalities" as having any bind? ing authority over Congress, denominating that body "a high court of equity." Let the name become current, and the policy of despotism is complete. Equity, indeed, according to one of its first maxims, "follojvs the law;" but it is not in the sense of a high justice, '.rhich supplies legal defects, that Mr. Sumn ?r uses tho ex? pression. To h'i3 hazy ant: unscrupulous mind, equity is that which supplants thc law. It is a certain superior law which, at its will, recognizes or refuses to acknowledge the relations which the written law establishes, and follows or departs from the analogy of that law. For he claims that Congress, as a high court of equity, lias thc right to vio? late at once the Constitution of Georgia mid that of the United States. Mr. Stevens said that the reconstruction measures of Congress were outsiile of the constitution. And now Mr. Sumner claims that Congress may go outside of the constitution whenever it will, aud may stay lhere as long us it pleases. It is a law unto itself. We begin to look upon all these preten? sions with n certain sense of amusement Mr. Sumner reminds us of another vaporing pedant, by name Jaine3 I o? England, who was quite his equal both in courage and in sense. As the monarch was perpetually boasting of his prerogative and kingcraft, while tho reins of authority continued to slip from Ilia hands, so thc senator, with his party, brags and collapses. Like Jonah's gourd, the bloated night-growth is waving and willing in lim sunshine. After awhile the South will be represent ed in that high court of equity-we mean not General Ames' South, nor cadet Whitte morc's South, but the peuple, in the persons of their chosen repr?sentatives. A? the pre? sent schism in the Radical party deepens and thc dissatisfaction at the West increases, and Hie political power drifts away from New England in either direction, an opportunity for new political alliances will be afforded. Whatever theory of government may pre? vail, we shall regain our rightful place in tho Connells of Hie nation. The gallant life which breasted invading myriads, and has already redeemed industrial and financial dis? aster, cannot be crushed out by any tribunal which Radicalism may establish at Wash? ington. Whether it be masked as a high court of equity, or unmasked tts a low lobby of iniquity, matters not. Commodore Mn ur y and Fo"clgit Immi? gration? We print to-day a letter received by Wm. M. Lav/ton, Esq., thc president of the South Carolina Institute, from Commodore M. F. I Maury. In this letter, Commodore Maury sums up, with characteristic lucidity, both the advantages to the South of foreign im? migration, and the reasons why it is imprac? ticable for the South to obtain any large number of immigrants without energetic concert of action. The point mude by Com? modore Maury iii relation to direct trade, will be forcibly felt in connection with the inter? ests of Charleston, and none can doubt that, before we can obtain the immigration so earnestly desired, we must disabuse the mind of the foreigner of hi3 prejudices against the South, besides assuring him that he wi,ll have hero far greater advantages, and far better opportunities of advance? ment,'than can be found in North or West The convention which meets in Charleston in May will, we are sure, discuss the whole matter, and it is suggested that the propri? ety be considered of taking slops to secure concert of action, among the Southern Slates east of the Miaafesippi, upon ?he subject of uumigraliwi. Each State can work vigor ously for itself; but the whole South work? ing together eau incur expenses and under? take responsibilities which would be far too heavy for any single State. Thc "Etna Fire Engine Company. The statement in THE NEWS of Wednes? day that "at a meeting of the ?Etna Fire En "gine Company, held on Monday, it was re? solved that this company would join iu "the (annual) parade in the usual manner," was made upon what appeared to us to be unquestionable authority. That statemeut, moreover, agrees in substance willi thc ofli cial record of thc proceedings of the meet? ing referred to ; for there is not in Charles? ton, we presume, any white man so wild as to suppose that the ?Etna Fire Company would parade unless a majority of the white volunteer companies did thc same. Universal Amnesty. Our Washington correspondent writes that some leading Radical Congressman are urg? ing President Grant not to recommend the passage of a resolution of universal amnesty for offences committed during the war. The carpet-bag members are vehement in their opposition to amnesty, and declare that the time has not come for a general removal of political disabilities. This last was to be expected; but President Grant can see for himself that the ?nasses of Ute people call for universal amnesty u.r.'i pardon, us the crown of the work of reconstruction. This seeni3 to be thc temper in the North. And in thc South a universal amuesty would go far to procure for thc present administration the respect, if not the affection, of the people.
