THE LABOR QUESTION.
- The labor question continues to be the
principal topic of conversation. Thou-
fftgds of workingmen aud girls are out of
•mployment, and are rapidly exhausting
thuir little savings of the past. Many are
already resorting to the pawnbroker, and
that reverable cormorant is said to be
landing a smaller pittance than ever on
articles pledged. “My uncle” is, in tine,
preparing for a resumption of specie pay
ments, and so tho poverty stricken can't
realize as iuuok from their andirons aud
old olothes as in days of yore.
• RAMPANT SOC IALISM.
Doubtless something ought to bo done
for tho laboring classes ; but they are act
ing most unwisely in permitting theorists
to take possession of iheir organization
iu a become their spokesmen. At the
meeting hold on Thursday night the wild
est of doctrines were promulgated. A re
organization of society was proposed with
no mau to own more than $300,000 worth
of property. I abhor negations. Instend
of saying what a man shall not have, our
social reformers ought to have declared
that evory man shall have $300,000 worth
of propertv. Then l would bo with them
Of course all the socialistic ranting in-
dnlged in does not represent tho view's of
the workingmen, but it does alarm cupital
and adds to the goueral uneasiness.
THE DEBT AND TAXATION.
/ The falling oil of the revouuo is begin
ning to attract attention, and is likely to
provoke a political light. It is clear that
unless the taxes are increased thoro will
not be any further reduction of tho Fed
eral debt for several years to come. Peo
ple who believe that “a national debt is a
national blessing'’ are delighted; those
who wish the debt speedily paid uro clam
oring for measures to contiuuo the reduc
tion. J am in sympathy with tho last.
Congress blundered when it abolished the
income tax. A lax of ton per cout. on nil
Incomes in excess of $4,000 per annum
would fall on tho rich alone, and this class
would not feel.it. Much of the public
diiahtisfaction arises from the faot that
the rich nro renlly not bearing their pro
portionate share of taxation. Men like
A. T. Stewart do not pay any taxes. He
makes tho men who buy his goodB or
feht his buildings pay them. If out of hi
Enormous income, and out of the enor-
mons incomes of other rich men, a direct
revenue was obtained the country would
ba benetitted and we would hear less
agrarianism nnd communism ranted at pub-
Uo meetings.
A DRAMATIC CONTROVERSY.
A lively controversy is progressing over
. Dion Boucicault's new play “Led Astray.’
/The professional aud amateur critics on
both sides of the question are pelting
Aftch other with paper bullets iu tho livo-
: fast style imaginable. Dion, with his
usual egotism, smilingly declares that his
assailants do not know what they are
Wlitiug about, lie pronouucos himself
the only English speaking writer of the
present cloy capable of producing a legit
imate comedy. As I have written you
Jftffore, “Led Astray” is a very cleverly
-Written comedy, abounding iu line
dramatie situations. The charge that it
is “morbid' aud “immoral” is grossly un
just. It is a graphic delineation of char
acter under perhaps uuusual circuiu
Stances. 1 doubt if it is at all a common
Thing for American or English journalists
to try and seduco their neighbors’ wivos.
but the thiog does happen sometimes
aud, alas! it occasionally meets with fat-
greater success than in “Led Astray.
But be that as it may, the subject is
legitimate one for the stage. Most of tb
adverse criticism comes from those “puri-
eut prudes,” as Charles Roade dubs them
whoso modesty lies altogether in their
pen. While tho paper wur is going on
the Union Square Theatre is filled nightly
with fashionable audiences and “Led
Astray" is rapturously applaudod.
A SPASM OF VIRTUE.
Just at present New York is in her pe
riodic spasm of virtue. '1 hero has bee
«general laid on the gambling house
one of John Motrissey’s being the first
“pulled Nothing can bo more ridicu
lous than these raids. Their only effect
it to close all the gambling dons for u few
days, after which they are reopened and arc
oontinued in full blast for months undis
turbed. Mr. Obailick, one of our Police
Commissioners, is tho virtuous mortal who
now directs the raid. It is loudly assert
ed that a great deal of preference is shown
to certain “dons" under the ‘'protection
of influential politicims. this time the
married about two years, has just discov
ered that his wife gave birth to a ohild
about six years ago, and while she was
almost a child herself. Her father is re
ported to be a man of large wealth, and
as the threats of the husband to sue fora
divorce have ceased it is believed that the
old gentleman has added materially to the
possessions of his son-in-law.
LITERARY NEWS.
Iu the literury line thore is nothing
new. All the publishing houses unnouuce
new books for the holidays, but they are
principally compilations, more or less
good, but noticeable more on account of
their gorgeous bindings than on accouut
of their contents. The compensation to
writers, excepting those of establised rep
utation, has bIho been greatly reduced.
An unknown mun, to make a respectable
living by his contributions, would have to
ork fifteen hours each day. Nearly all
tho large houses have reduced their regu
lar staff, and nil complains of the dullness
of the book trade. By tho way,Boston have
received a severe blow in the romovul of
tho Atlantic Monthly and Young Folks to
this city. Sinlrnn, Armstrong & Co., has
purchased tho last named monthly and
unother firm the Atlantic. These peri
odicals were the pride of the Hub aud
their removal cannot fail to agitate tho
literary Bostonians.

THE VIRGINIUS.
T1IF. PARTICULARS OF HER HER*
RENDER.
Key West, Dos. 18.—The small steam
er Despatch, Capt. W. 1). Whiting,
which had been assigned by the United
Staton Governinout to the duty of receiving
tho surrender,sailed from Key West Sunday
ovoning, and uriived iu tho harbor of
Bahia Hands tho next morning, where
she found the Virginius, in charge of a
Spanish sloop of War, LaFavorita, Sen or
dc LsCatuara commanding.
Shortly after noon the latter came on
board tho Despatch, and made arrange
ments with Captain Whiting for the aur.
render at 9 o’clock Tuesday morning.
His visit was returned later in the day by
Captain W. Tho intercourse was of the
most courteous character. On Tuesday
the weather was bright aud clear. The
only spectators of tho scene about to take
place, were the men on the Despatch and
La Favorita, and some ragged and dirty
Cubans in fishing smacks, apparently in
tent upon fishing there alone.
At half past eight the Gig came over
from tho Lnfavorita to tho Virginius, con-
taiuin oarsmou and a single officer. As
tho latter stepped on dock a potty effioor
and half a dozon men, who hud stood
watch on tho Virginius during the night,
wout over to ono side and remained in
diugy awaiting orde s. Punctually as the
bells on the Despatch struck for 9,and be
fore the echo had died away, the Ameri
can flag flew to the flagstaff of the Vir.
giuius, and at the same moment a boat
containing Captain Whitney and Liout.
Mariux put away from tho Despatch.
As they ascended tho accommodation lad
der of tho Virginius a single man on tho
deck, who proved to be Seuor De Lu-
Camarn, advanced and made a courteous
salute.
Tho officers then road their respective
instructions, aud Capt. Do LaCamara re
marked, “That in obedience to the re
quirements of his Government, ho had
tho honor to turn over tho steamer Viiw
ginius to tho American authorities.”
Capt. Whiting accepted, and ascertain
ing that a receipt would be acceptable,
gave one. A word or two more civilly
spoken, and the Spaniard stepped over
side, signalled his oarsmen, and in ten
minutes was again upon the deck of his
own vessel, having discharged with be
coming dignity the unpleasant duty im
posed upon him by his Government.
The engines of tho Virginius ore fotiud
to be in bad condition, and she had to bo
towed to sea by a. despatch boat. Both
vessels left tho harbor at 3 o’clock r. M.,
the Spanish flag being displayed by tho
Fort as they passed. At 8 o’clock p. m.
they were met by the naval tugboat “For
tune." Steam was subsequently got up
on the Virginius, and she, with the des
patch boat, went to Tortugas, where they
met the Ossipce and a coal schooner.
Provisions will be transferred from the
Ossipee to the Virginius, and wbatevor
coal may bo noceasary will be supplied by
tho schooner. When supplied with pro
visions and coal, the Virginius will proba
bly be sent to another port. Washington
und Norfolk are mentioned among tho
prize officers. Much to the disappoint
ment of some of tho officers, tho
Federal courts are now anxiously
looking out for her arrival. Sho
will not enter tho harbor at Koy

Seuitte.
Washington, Dec. 18.—Committee on
Printing reported a bill for printing
biennial Blue Book. Passed.
Tho salary bill, passed by the House,
was referred to Committee on Retrench
ment.
The Finance Committee wishes to as
certain whether the Senators desire an ex
pansion of currency or a return to spocio.
Mr. Boutwoll remarked that he did not
propose to go into ouy extonded remarks
at this time. He would state, however,
that he favored neither a contraction or
expansion. Tho former, bringing the busi-
of the country to a stand, would diminish
the revenues and render taxation inevita
ble. Tho latter would postpone the day
of specie payment, aud lie did not think
it wise to add to tho return of a currency
of the charactor we now possessed. He
viowod with nppreheusiou any attempt to
sooure au immediate specie payment.
Mortou said he rocogoized the fact that
wo must come to specie payments at last,
but now it was not practicable. Ho fu-
vored a slight inflation.

The morning hour was exhausted by
personal explanations, throughout which
the Republican members called each

Butler, of Mass., from tho Judiciary
Committee, reported tho supplementary
Civil Rights bill. It provides that any

otory or bouovolout institutions, or public
