The Labor Question.
George Fitzhngh, of Virginia, con?
tributes to DeBovfs Review for April
an able article on the labor question.
North and iWtK. He says, truly,
that, including Africa, the West In?
dies, Mexico, South America and our
Southern States, on account of the
general indisposition "to" wSrk" on "th?
part of the. tieg?roos; they render
worthless far the 'heiter half of the
globe. How to remedy this evil, is
the great question of the day, for the
productions of warm latitudes have
become necessaries of life to civilized
mankind.
Mr. .McCnlloch long since main?
tained that the laws of political eco?
nomy and ?r&-co?npMitio^?ould not
apply to the negro, and Mr. Carlyle
has shown that tho laws of supply
and demand have no influence what?
ever on the conduct and industrial
habits of the free and improvident
negroes of the "West Indies.
Mr. Fitzhngh takes the position,
that while t?ie negro slaves worked
eight or nine hours a day, the negro
freedmen will not average three hours
a day, and fortifies his position from
experience. He says that, as serfs or
villeins, the laborers of Europe did
; aiot I work thre? hours a day, yet all
had homes and the rude comforts and
necessaries of life." But now, to live
at all, these samo laborers have to
labor ten hours a day. He remarks
very pithily on the former timas, there
were no poor houses and no poor
laws, because there were no poor un
^^^provided for.
? Mr. F. -takes np the suggestion
made in many of the Northern papers,
last fall, that a convention of capital?
ists, of merchants and of farmers
- shonld be held in New York, to take
t ,'^to consideration the subject of giv
\ \t value and efficiency to the freed
*'s labor at the South. He is in
S^B^-vor of sp.cir a convention, and says:
jfc, "Never did convention have such
B?aport.aiit, world-wide matters of
l^^^pressing interest to deal with as ?will
WL this. Probably it will not be able to
f?Xm avert the storm .of social revolution
W\ that impends over Christendom, but
HHk^it may do something to mitigate its
Hf'force and destructiveness. All are
concerned in its deliberations, in its
?resolves, and in the measures it shall
Kadopt or advise, and all therefore
Hf should be represented in it. Rich
Rand poor, practical men and theoreti
??"'V1 men, abolitionists, socialists, pro
jH?J^^lavery men, agrarians, women and
j^women's rights men, Northern men
I and Southern men, blacks, whites,
- mulattoes, Indians, Mongolians and
i Europeans, should attend at its meet?
ly _^ ing, and take part in its deliberations.
P"^ A World^? Pair, that has to do with
? 'trifles light as air,'> compared to the
': appropriate business of this conven
?_v -*4w?j 'attracts strangers from every
/ quarter of the globe. As far as man
is superior to bullocks, horses, fowls,
^* vegetables and machinery of all kinds,
will oar industrial convention be su?
perior in importance and interest tc
a mere world's fair."
Such a convention might concoct
some plan or scheme, to improve thc
^ . value of the freedmen's labor. Om
own opinion is, that the experiment
has not yet been fairly and fully tried.
We believe that, with fair dealing,
kindness, and efforts to educate and
enlighten our peculiar class of work
v-.ers, the freed labor of the So uti
will, after a ; time, compare favorably
with that of'any other country.

Tbc Southern Methodist Church.
i "We noticed yesterday the meeting j
of the General Conference at New j
Orleans. In connection with this
meeting, the first which has been
held at the South for eight years, we
notice the unfairness of some of the
so-called religious papers of the North,
in insinuating, if not stating in direct
terms, that, since the close of the
war, overtures had been made by the
Northern Methodist Cliuroh to that
of the South, for a re-nnion of the
churches of the two sections. The fact
noticed above, that there has been no
General Conference of the Methodist
Church South for the past eight
years, stamps such a statement as
false.
But we see from the New York
Watchman, of last week, that a paper
called the Methodist is published in
that city, which, if it represents the
Northern church, is sufficient to keep
open the breach between the churches, j
For instance, it says "the church, j
South, was organized for the preserv- ?
ation of slavery." The writer either
knew that to be untrue, or else he has
too little information to be a teacher
of the people. He must have pre?
sumed upon the ignorance of his
readers. Hut there are intelligent
men in the Northern church who
have copies of the Southern Disci?
pline, and when they examine that,
they can have no further confidence
in the statements of that paper.
Again, this article, speaking of the
Southern church, says: "Its bishops
and pastors illustrated their devotion
; to the Constitution by buying men,
women and children, with the inten?
tion to enslave them!" Now, this is
known throughout the South as being
absolutely untrue in form and es
! sence. How can a Christian mau
thus misrepresent a whole church?
How can the world'expect even kind
I ness to be felt by a church so hugely
and mercilessly misrepresented?
We would be glad to chronicle the
re-union of the two divided branches
of this influential denomination, for
we believe it would contribute largely
to the rivettingof the bonds of union,
politically, between the two sections
-a conclusion which all good men
now devoutly pray for.
Who ls Right f
A respected correspondent calls in
question our implication that the
great founder of Methodism advo?
cated a continuance of the connection
of his church members with the
Church of Englund. Let us see. lu
the seventh volume of Wesley's works,
in a letter to the Dublin Chronicle, in
answer to some accusations about
leaving the church, he emphatically
says : "I mean, unless I see more
reasen for it than I ever yet saw, I
will not leave the Church of England
as by law established, while the breath
of God is in my nostrils." In a sub
sequeet chapter, entitled "Farther
thoughts on separation from the
church," we find the following para?
graph. After stating his belief,
which he had spoken to "hundreds
j and thousands" of his own sect, he
goes on to say: "And at the first
meeting of all our preachers in con?
ference, in June, 1744, I exhorted
them to keep to the church; observ?
ing, that this was our peculiar glory,
not to form any nexo sect, but, abiding
$H our own church,.to do to ali men
. all the good W6 possibly could."
We do not wish to enter into any
controversy on this subject. We
simply make the above quotations to
justify our remarks in yesterday's
issue.
The Richmond (Va.) Republic is
exceedingly indignant that the ladies
of that city, after parting with jewel?
ry, clothing, etc., in order to buy
bread, should now be forced to labor
fifteen hours a day to earn thirty or
forty cents. It adds: "If the ladies
will furnish us with the names of
these ghouls, and a list of the prices
they pay, we promise to so brand
them with their infamy that they
shall be known and despise through?
out the land. "
PARIS EXPOSITION.-The World's
special says the Senate Committee on
Foreign Affairs have now Tinder con?
sideration the proposition - of the
House making appropriations to de?
fray expenses for the Paris Exposi?
tion. lt is ascertained that it will
absorb nearly all of the appropria?
tion of the Government to pay for
tho transportation of the articles sent
to the exhibition. The Committee
will probably amend, so that the in?
ventors and others will be compelled j
to pay for the transportation of the j
various articles. By this course only

MESSRS. EDITORS: While we con?
sider it unfortunate for the secular
press to introduce any denomination?
al matter that, by possibility, might
have a tendency to provoke religious
controversy; still, as a misleading is?
sue has been made in your paper in
regard to "the Methodists," one by
that name must claim, through the
same medium, tho privilege of cor?
recting doubtless an unintentional
error, in the statement nuder that
caption. And first, in respect to
publishing "tho Episcopal service in
connection with the discipline, &c. ;"
even suppose that done and brought
into use, it is only what has always
been in use by most of the M etliodist
churches in England-where they are
as distinct from the Church of Eng?
land as they ever were. And here, at
this date, so far from being speedily
united as one church, the prospect of
it is farther off than ever-the Pro?
testant Episcopal Church having re?
united with the Northern Church,
which the Methodist Episcopal
Church still persistently refuses to i
do.
In regard to Wesley's advice of "a
happy re-union," the Methodists, as
a Church, neither in England nor in
this country, have so interpreted his
words and acts.
A METHODIST.
WHAT TT HAS COST CANADA.-Our
Canadian neighbors are beginning to
feel very much ashamed of the fool?
ish panic they have just passed
through with respect to the Fenians.
They have neglected their business
for a month, spent their time in con?
centrating armies to fight shadows,
and have added Si,000,000 to their
debt without anything to show for it.
The Quebec Daily News says:
The first bubble of excitement re?
lative to the Fenian invasion has
burst, and nervous people, who were
somewhat terrified at first, are begin?
ning to be more composed. The
military authorities alone cannot be
persuaded that there is to be no war
for the present, for the work of active
preparations for defence goes ou as
briskly as ever. The cry of "wolf,
wolf," would be quite harmless if its
effects were confined to the tempo?
rary annoyance and expense it has
already caused ; but its injurious re
sultsUpon the commerce of this Pro?
vince cannot be adequately estimated.
Never did the prospects of Canadian
trade with Great Britain and the rest
of Europe look healthier than at pre?
sent; everything betokened au un?
usually active and prosperous spring
business. When the news of the pre?
sent state of affairs, of the anticipat?
ed Fenian invasion, of the unhinged
condition of society, and of the war?
like preparations which are going on
here, reaches Eugland, we must not
be surprised if a crisis ensues. Manu?
facturers will hesitate to ship their
goods to this market unless the in?
voices are covered by remittances;
holders of lumber will not force their
stocks on buyers; Canadian Govern?
ment, railway, and municipal bonds
will be fearfully depreciated, and, in
fact, a general want of confidence
will take place among the capitalists
and merchants interested in the trade
of this country. Already the stock
j of the Grand T .k Railway has de
Ereciated fourteen per cent., and is
kely to go even lower. Much, if
not the whole, of this derangement
and injury to Canadian trade must be
attributed to the action of our Go?
vernment in needlessly causing an
alarm where no just grounds existed
for it, and keeping np an excitement
that should be immediately allayed.
It is estimated that the cost of main?
taining the volunteers now called out
will add another ?1,000,000 to our
public debt.
In view of the impoverished con?
dition of a portion of the people of
Georgia, Gov. Jenkins has issued the
following appeal to the capitalists of
that State>
A portion of the people of Geor?
gia, in districts overrun by both
armies during the late war, are suf?
fering for lack of food, and unless
speedily relieved must suffer more
perhaps starve. Their moro fortunate
and benevolent neighbors have done
much for them, but can do little more.
Tho evidence of these facts is full and
startling. The Legislature have ap?
propriated money for their relief, but
the money is not in the treasury.
They have authorized the borrowing
of money, upon most satisfactory se?
curity, but it will require time to
have the bonds and mortgages pre?
pared and executed. And while this
time runs against the sufferers, their
sufferings will be terribly intensified.
I am ready and anxious to aol, but i
lack the means, In the name of pa- 1
triotism and humanity, I appeal to <
you to furnish them. It will be a ?
good pecuniary investment, and some- 1
thing more-'/ commendable charily. <
Bring forward the money on loan, for
ninety or ono hundred and twenty
days, or six or five months, or thirty <
years, as you prefer, with seven per 1
cent, interest. You will do well, and ?
the hungry will do better. i
AU editors, friendly to the object, t
will please give tho above a few inser- c
tions, and briefly direct attention to J
it. C. J. JENKINS, Governor. c

The Norlbrrn Papers on thc Veto
Memiagc
The *wo vetoes of tho President
the fust of the Freedmen's Bureau
Bill, the last of the Civil Rights Bill
-may be regarded as marking an
epoch in American politics which
presages and, indeed, necessitates a
thorough chango in party organiza?
tions and relations. We have already
expressed our views on the veto mes?
sage of the . President, and present
below some extracts from leading New
York journals in regard to it. Thc
World (Democrat) says:
By this wise and able message, Pro
sident Johnson has established a new
claim to public confidence. He has
shown himself, thus far, a statesman
of singular independence, self-reli?
ance and pobtical courage.
* * * Tho veto 'is a conclusivt
demonstration of what Avas apparent
before-that thc conflict between thc
President and Congress admits o
neither compromise nor reconcilia
tion, and that the controversy can br
decided only by an appeal to theil
common superiors, the sovereign peo?
ple.
The Times (Republican) says:
The message of the President au
nouncing his veto of the civil right
bill, which we publish in full in othe
columns, may not command universa
assent. But we venture to think tba
few State papers have ever been givei
to the world that will so thoronghl;
compel the attention of thinking mei
of whatever creed, or kindred, o
party.
* * ? jt mily hoped that argu
meuts so cogent as those employed ii
the message will not be thrown away
It is not every day that members hav
an opportunity of listening to reasoi
and common sense. They may fin
this appeal a seasonable and accept
able change. Be that as it may, th
Presiden t's message will be read au
studied outside of Congress, an
everywhere throughout the civilize
world; and wherever it is read au
studied, the American name and chi
racter will be elevated, in so far ti
Andrew Johnson is held to represer.
the American people.
The Herald, which endeavors i
represent both parties, says:
The veto of the Freedmen's Burea
Bill was but the distant thunder ai
nouncing the approaching storn
This veto is the storm itself, and whe
it shall have passed away, we sha
have a purer political sky and a be
ter atmosphere. But before th;
happy change, the radical majoritit
of Congress will be swept away, ai:

Andrew Johnson.
We dare say that this civil righ
bill against the President's objectioi
will share the fate of the Freedmen
Bureau; but, in any event, it is a d
claration of war against the radien
and their impracticable schemes, ai
Andrew Johnson, as in the rebellio
is the man to fight it through on li
platform of the Union and the Co
stitntion.
The Netos says:
The President has strengthened I
position immeasurably by his veto
the odious and unconstitutional eh
rights bill. Of course, it will intern
fy the radical hostility toward hil
but that may be considered as a poi
gained. There was no possibility
any compromise between the Exec
tive and the revolutionists in Co
gress compatible with his digui
and the interests of the country; ai
the more open and decided the a
tagonism between two such powe
the sooner will the issue be deb
mined. The masses will hail with t
light the evidence of their Chief M
gistrate's firmness in combating t
schemes of an incendiary fact ion,
is only by a resolute ?xercise of t
Executive authority that this unnal
ral contest between the two most \
tent influences in the political spin
can be brought to an end.
The New York Commercial Adv
User (Republican) endorses the m
sage. It says:
His reasoning is cogent, and mi
bo satisfactory to all who respect t
limitations of the Constitution
Federal power-who desire econ?]
of administration, and who corree
estimate tho tme value of St;
rights. It can only be distasteful
those who have gone wild upon 1
negro question, and who are anxic
for legislation which shall especia
benefit the black man. Is there i
wisdom enough in Congress to dis
ver and adopt such measures, or v
that body prefer to wrangle with 1
President in the hope of making ]
litical capital? There is no real oe
sion of difference, certainly not a si
?ow of reason for hostility. Fanat

Tho New York Evening Poul, of
tho 29th ult., says on this subject:
A vast amount of real property of
all descriptions is offered for salfc at
auction and through agents at this
time-far more than at the beginning
of the year. The recent downward
tendency of prices, and the expecta?
tion that all values will be perma?
nently lower, have caused this gene?
ral offering of houses, stores, lots,
?vc. ; but the demand, particularly at
the various agencies, is by no means
so active as it was. At auction a
considerable number of sales are
made daily, and aro reported; but
the actual sales aro small in compari?
son with the amount of property that
apparently goes under the hammer.
A very large proportion of it has
been knocked down to persons offer
iug it, because they were unwilling tc
take the prices bid.
Real estate that is valuable and de?
sirable commands, however, ful
rates, and the market for improving
property is probably as good as it
ever was. Some of the sales recent
ly made by auction show this, bu
there arc fewer transactions at fanc^
prices.
A singular instance of falling o?
in the value of up-town unimproved
property has recently been reported
Some lots on Eighty-third street
near Avenue A, which changed hands
in I860, at $785 each, were sold ?
short time ago for $600 each, and ar
understood to have brought thei
market value. On thc West side o
thc island, in locations where th
streets are not graded, there ar
many lots that have risen in prie
very little during a period of years
Undesirable improved propert
I down town will bring now only
j slight advance, if any, on the rates o
ten years ago; and some real est?t
! in the districts that are "abandoned
I us business centres, or as fashionabl
places of residence, has necessaril
suffered a marked decline in value.
These facts explain, to some ex
tent, the. advance that has takenplac
in the prices of property in man
parts of the city.
The excitement in regard to reul
luis subsided; and persons who dt
dined to act hastily early in the sen
son, by obtaining houses and store
at extravagant prices, have generali
found their account in that course
It is now conceded that the reid
asked in January and February wei
far to high. Houses for which froi
$3,000 to $1,000 a year were demain
ed, are now to be had, we hear, at.
decline of ten to twenty per cent
and in some eases more. Smal
neat houses of less value, have bee
in great demand, and very few (
these are now to be rented. Fu
nished houses, of which many wei
offered, will be let much cheapt
than they would have been a mont
or two ago.
For such places of business as ai
not rented, the asking price is lowe:
Tho case of a store in a down tow
street, near Broadway, may be give
in illustration. It rented last ye*
for S3,500. This year the sum wt
raised to $5,000.* The occupan
knowing where to find a eheapt
place, declined to pay the $5,00<
and decided not to remain. Tb
store to be vacated was not rented t
the advanced price; but afterward
was offered for the rent of last yea:
and finally the price was reduced t
$3,000.
The number of stores icc, au
the number of dwelling-houses in th
city being insufficient for the accon
modation of business and the pei
pie, there will probably bo few chea
rents for the present. But the speer
lation with which the year openei
and which had the effect of raisin
rents beyond all reason, has st) nearl
ceased as to promise a far bett*
state of things than was anticipate
a few weeks ago by the public. Tl:
extreme upward movement never ha
the support of the most sagaciot
holders of real estate, or of the we
informed dealers and agents. I
view of the depression and unce
tainty of business, there is littl
doubt tliat many extraordinary ba
gains iu rents will prove very disai
vantageons to all concerned.
In discussing the point, whether c
not the late President Lincoln ev<
fontein plated the evacuation of Fo

DEPOPULATION OF IRELAND.-Tho
Liverpool Courier, of February 27,
publishes the following editorial ar?
ticle on the British Postmaster-Gen?
eral's report on the decrease ol' Irish
population:
In Ireland, during the past year,
there has occurred a decrease in the
number of inhabited houses to the
extent of 1G,277, and in the popula?
tion of 94,84(5. There is every reason
to believe that the decrease will pro?
ceed still more rapidly than before.
It cannot be concealed that the Fe?
nian conspiracy has afflicted already
an inconceivable amount of iujury
upon all classes. Capitalists have
withdrawn their loans, or refused to
extend that accommodation which
was the life of the Irish trader.
Confidence is broken, especially
between landlord and tenant, and
little encouragement will be given by
any mau to the location of a peasant
ry wini may combine to assassinate
their benefactor, and divide his estate
among themselves. If to this we add
that the Western States of America
are organizing an extensive plan of
immigration, while it is proposed to
convert the Fenian machinery into a
means of bringing Irishmen to the
States, it may be anticipated that the
population of Ireland will continue
to diminish, even in a greater ratio
than before.
The Irish, however, who remained
have been busier with the peu.
Whether it is that there has been au
increase in trade, commerce or litera?
ry intercourse with England and
foreign nations, or whatever else may
be the reason, it is clear that there has
been an additiou of 3,000,000 to the
number of lettei-s posted last year.
The total number, however, is oulv
54,500,000, while Scotland, with half
the population, posted 64,260,000.
MY CONCLUSION. - Congress ami
the President will never harmonize.
They will remain asunder and divided
even unto the end.
It is immaterial how this separa?
tion is caused-the result is equally
langerons in its consequences to the
party in power. It may be charged,
jn one side, that tho President hus
switched off' the party track, and on
.he other -hand, that Congress has
"ollowed the lead of these crazy radi?
cals until they have run them into*
he camp of the enemy-the disunion -
sis. The fact remains-they are
leparated. My own conclusion is,
hat Congress, under the lead of
bose old parliamentarian radicals,
las gone a little too far and too fast,
,ud got away from both the President
,nd the people; that the President
las stood still since thc day of his
lection, and has failed to keep pace
eith the progress of the people.
Tho President will use all the
tower he has, in the way of patron
ge and influence, to bring men to
is support, and will cut off those
,'ho are against him. For this he
annot be blamed. A new deal will
