The Raleigh and Gaston Railroad Works, and all the machine shops of the city work ten hours a day Why should not other employers admit the same rule? Will the Atrand Sentinel show why not? Do these institutions encourage and promote loafing bands of me chanics and laborers?" A majority of the Editors in attendance on the Goldsboro Con vention availed themselves of a visit t Beaufort Harbor. Having thus familiarized themselves with the deep waters of our Eastern coast it remains to be seen what they will do in advocacy of the commercial interests of the State on their return home. . The Laws of Congress. Witli this and the next issue of the Era will be completed the laws of Congress' for the late session. This will give nearly double the space for reading matter, and to ?ocure to the patrons of the paper the benefits of that spacee very thing else has been made sutiordinate to getting out the laws. When cleared of this encumbrance the Era will be made a model paper Jn all respects. The Working-menVof Raleigh. A portion of the mechanics and day laborers of Raleigh notified their employers last Saturday of their purpose to demand the rule of ten hours for a day's work, or addi tional compensation for all the time over ten hours. ' Accordingly on Monday morning many of the mechanics and labor ing men of the city "struck" for tho terms demanded. This movement is right, and the Era sustains the action of these working-men .folly and unquali fiedly. Ten hours is an ample daj 'j work, in the shop, the field or elsewhere. If the nature of the employment demands that the work be continu ed beyond the expiration of the ten hours-time, let there be a new force put on, or additional pay given. Eight hours is a government day's work, and eight hours will be the rule of labor throughout tho coun try within another ten years ; so the working-men of Raleigh M ho have demanded ten hours are neither un reasonable nor premature in their demand. So let the demand be ersisted in, and If necessary call on the working-men's Unions else where, and that new organization, the United Working-men of Ameri ca, for assistance and support. One was not surprised to find the monied men, and their two organs of Raleigh, tho Xeics and Sentinel not in sympathy with the working- men last Tuesday morning. These have never been In sympathy with the working-man and never will be, and Conservative-Democracy thus shows her cloven foot whenever labor seeks justice at the hands of capital. . As the friend of the working-man and the mechanic, the Era goes to the last extremity for their rights and protection, insists that ten hours is a fair day's work, and de mands a fair day's pay for a fair day's work of ten hours. It is time the laboring classes of the South, everywhere, were wak- ng up to the encroachments and oppressions of capital, and the in cidents of Monday last are but faintly significant of scenes we are destined to pass through in this country if the Shylocks, Gadgrinds and Skinflints much longer persist n their course of land-piracy and oppression. TIic demand in regard to time U for ten hours work, twelve being the usual practice during the long days and eight during tho short da-, averaging about ten hours during the vear.

Penny Hill is a magnificent estate of about twenty-five hundred acres, situated on the north bank of Tar river, in the counties of Edgecombe and Pitt, about ten or twelve miles below Tarboro. It was formerly the property of the late Dr. George Sugg, who in 1SCG sold it to Col. C. W.Smith, a northern gentleman. For want of experience in conduct ing so extensive a farmland of a culture entirely at varia'nee with that of his native Stat?, Col. Smith was compelled to abandon the en terprise. The plantation, was then resold when Capt. Tlngpju became the nurchaser in the sum bf $31,500. Capt. Thigpen took active possession early in January of tho present year, and immediately set to work for a full crop, preparing and. dis tributing thousands of ushels of compost, cleaning out a many as, nineteen miles of ditches, and has now in a state of good - cultivation, ' in different crops nearly 'one thou sand acres. .-jj .

I read in the columns of the Ral eigh Daily News the contents of a circular calling on the people of the State to organize and establish a Fertilizer Manfacturing Company, to be . located in Baltimore, Mary land, advocating that it is what the farmer needs to build up the State, &c Mr. Editor, I advocate that your farming district organize a company and establish it in your city, and use the bones of dead animals and debris of your city. The freights paid on acids and other material will be less than the freights paid upon the fertilizer fromi Baltimore into your State ; then here you have your crude material used that is 4ying wasted throughout the State. And you have your mechanic, the laborer, the bone and sinew of the country, employed at home. Yes, " at home." But when the press of your State advocates establishments and manufactories to be located in other States, and supported by your State's money, it does not appear business to the all-seeing business man. It keeps any and every State behind the age that follows the dic tates of such, logic. This is hurried, but I promise to dwell more fully in a few days in your columns. Yours, A Manufacturer.

T. II. Pritchard. Mr. Pritehard(hiseditorial)says: "The Grand Lodge of I. O. G. T. in North Carolina, does not allow the initiation of a colored person into any Lodge working under its juris diction ; and this we think a wise provision ; to have done otherwise would have been to recognize the principle of the social equality of thoracis a thing we cannot do," etc. Well, now perhaps Mr. Pritchard dot s think this.

We had the pleasure a few days ago! of meeting Col. Griffith, the great originator and mover of this enterprise in our State. He has succeeded beyond his expectations and is sanguine of success. The cause has our warmest wishes, with this-proviso, the works must be sit uated in our own Stale. We do not think this an unreasonable demand when our State furnishes the money by Which it is operated, and hence should receive all the incidental emoluments, and when, as we think we can show, its manufacture can be accomplished more expeditiously and cheaply in North Carolina than in the proposed location. A few weeks ago we contended through the Enquirer for the estab lishment of a Fertilizing manufac tory at Tarboro. This article had no reference to the North Carolina Fertilizing Company, but to a spe cial Edgecombe enterprise, and hence inconsistency cannot be laid to our charge in our preference for the location of the works of this company. We will therefore give our reasons, why we think the Fer tilizer, that is to be used in North Carolina, could be more cheaply manufactured with its borders, es pecially upon some point on its coast, than in Baltimore or any other Northern market. 1st. It is contended, that the fac tory "must be where the crude goods are being offered daily on the market, in order to obtain them at the very lowest price." This objec tion might hold good in traffic of less bulky commodities, but surely wants foice when we consider, that no fertilizing company of respecta ble pretensions, as we hope the North Carolina company to be, buys its materials from Baltimore retail phosphate merchants, but imports in bulk for its own use di rectly from the deposite beds. In the name of heaven, what must be the dimension of a ware-house in which a merchant retail dealer in super-phosphates, keeps his stock to sell to manufacturers? A man in Wilmington could as readily buy his material from the beds of South Carolina, where the larger quantify of phosphate is ob tained, as couid the man iu Balti more, t 2nd. It is urgtd,?'that there is a heavy loss of crude goods during the making of a super-phosphate, the lirst stage in manufacturing guanos ; and we would have to pay freight on this loss if we brought goods into the State to manufac ture." We admit there is some loss in the chemical reaction that takes jflace in manufacture, as well as in the amount of worthless silicon usually found in connection with the phosphate, but this will be more than compensated by the shorter distance over which the phosphates would be transported, if manipu lated in North Carolina rather than From New York Times. , further trouble Mr, Pritchard or the Grand Lodge I. O. G. T. of North Carolina, for we can very easily send to the North and get a char ter, and no dofbt this will be done when our State Convention meets at New-Berne next June. I want to s;;y to Mr. Pritchard and all others who entertain so manv The Great Fallacy Among the Laboring Class. One of those writers who possess considerable influence over the la boring classes, M. Boucher, has re recent ly addressed to the working people of this City certain commu nications, designed to instruct them in reirard to the irreat labor problem. The especial calamity of the world, M. Boucher considers to be poverty. "This poverty," he says, "is owing to the present individual, antagon istic, or war principle upon whicn everytning is done, as in tne com petitive and middle-men system in trade; the wages system in pro ducing ; and the specie currency sys tern in exchangina a war in which the rich are ever the victors and the poor ever the vanquished ; a war in which, always, the rich are becom ing richer and the poor poorer; a system of mutual waste waste of human muscles and bones, waste of human forces, waste of human en ergies, waste of human hopes and human happiness, and I might add, if we were now looking at the sub ject in its ethical as well as econo mical light, waste of human virtue." It is remarkable that all the wri tings addressed to the laboring classes contain the same fallacy in regard to the specie currency. Lv ery labor convention, also, which meets to consider the wrongs of the laboring class, is almost certain to pass a resolution in favor of an iu convertible paper currency as op posed to specie currency. The ora tors and reformers who have the greatest influence among the poor in this country, are always enlarg ing on the benefit of our present paper system. The fallacy of the advantage ot an irredeemable cur rency is evidently imbuing the whole lower strata of the laboring classes of the nation, and must have, if not corrected, an exceedingly tin- fortunate enect upon the luture h nancial policy of the country. It fs not creditable to the intelligence of our -vorking classes that such ideas should prevail. We can hardly be lieve that the native American and New-England mechanics can have so imperfect a knowledge of politi cal economy. It is more probable that these notions have been taught the ignorant foreign portion of our laborers by demagogues and others who had selhsh purposes in view. Two great truths seem to be espe cially forgotten by the instructors or the laboring class in tnis country. We never see them enlarged upon in their writings or speeches, and yet they are of vital importance to the interest ot every workman. They are, firstly, that taxation falls especially on labor; and, secondly, that a vitiated currency is the rob bery of the poor. At this very time taxation is weighing with a terrible burden on all the producers of the country. It enters in this City into the rent of every laboring man's tenement-room, into the prices which he pays-for his shoes, his clothing, and his provisions, and meets him at every step of his ex penditure. It is partly taxation in the form of tariff charges which makes transportation so expensive from the West; which forces the railroads to pay an enormous cost for all machinery and material which they employ, and therefore reduces the profits of the farmer, while it makes the grain expensive to the consumer here.

For reply to1 these inquiries, I respectfully submit the following brief abstract of the law. as it now stands upon the subject of dis charge, exemptions, &o.,-&c. : 1st. All debts contracted prior to January 1,1 809, and all security debts and debts not proven in bankruptcy, which have been contracted since that date, are discharged without reference to assets. 2nd, On all debts contracted since Jan uary 1, 1SG9, on which the bankrupt is liable as principal dtlor, and which are actually proven against the estate, the assets in the hands of the assignee must equal 50 per cent., or the same propor tion in number and value of these cred itors must assent In writing to dis charge. 4. 3d. Discharge will be granted from debts mentioned in paragraph I, without reference to those mentioned in para graph 2. (See Acts of July 27, 1S0S, and July 14, 1S70.J 4th. The following exemptions aro al lowed to every citizen of North Carolina in bankruptcy, to-wit: personal proper ty, of the value of S500, and real estato for a homestead of tho value of 1,000 under State la ws,Jind personal property or the value of 500, under United States laws. Total exemptions in bankruptcy 2,000. The foregoing exemptions are "valid against debts contracted before the adop tion and passage of the State Constitu tion and laws as well as those contracted after tho same, and against liens hy judgment or decree of any State' Court t any decision of any such Court rcndoi -ed sinco the adoption of such Constitu tion and laws to the contrary notwith standing."'

The recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in tho Georgia case, declaring the Homestead provis ions of tho Constitution of that State unconstitutional 111 so far as it relates to debts contracted prior to its adoption, has annihilated tho Homestead and personal property exemptions in North Carolina,in similar cascs.except through the bankruptcy courts. In view of the demand which must follow the recent liberal amendments to the Bankrupt Act, and the decision of the SuRiemo Court destroying the Homestead under .State laws, 1 have carefully prepared had printed ruled and endorsed in very neat style, all the forms liable to be used in bank rutcy by tho officers of the Court or the profession. They will be sold at $l."i0 per duplicate set, and forwarded on re ceipt of price, by mail, post paid, or by express as dkected. ; To facilitate business and promote speedy discharges, it is suggested that the sum of 100, be deposited with tho petition in bankruptcy, and when so done the Kegister is authorized and will guarantee that 110 further sum shall be required of the petitioner "in ordinary, proceedings, and the deficiency found unon the taxation of costs will be de ducted pro rata from the costs ol the several officers of court.

The Republican Era i.s the friend of that lii.e of improvement, but it mut not be allowcjl to usurp the State. The managers and owners TiMje Clegg inines in Catham dcclarMhat this Road has killed their enterprise by itj excessive freight charges, and they have consequently aban doned their works in that county after expending a fortune in their erection ; and in addition thereto, they have thrown two hundred daily; laborers out of employment. They eay the Richmond and Ianville Road takes their Guilford county ores to Baltimore for less than half tho rates exacted by the Raleigh and Gaston, that thedis ' tance is 6ixty miles further, and the freight Is handled twice, once at Greensboro and again at West Point on the Chesepeake Bay. In that view of the case they simply ask for due discrimination between a local extortion and a "foreign monopoly." The complaint of the Era Is that the State administration fatally blundered wi thi n t he ci rele of a ri ng detrimental to every interest of Northi Carolina, when it espoused the cause of the Raleigh and Gaston and Seaboard Roads as against every other i interest of the State, and Chatham county will not be com forted so long as Guilford county enjoys facilities for her development which the Slate Railroad denies to f Chatham. The only atonement possible for the blunder is to destroy the facilities Guilford at present en Joys, and thus place her on a foot ing with Chatham. i. p4-ople, and the philanthropists. adds : "The giHl, conscientious physician is a hero in the truest and purest senso, y t h goc: to his grave unnoticed and unknown.

The Convention of Editors last week at Goldsboro can but result in general good to the craft, although nothing of special importance was done. The resolutions adopted merely looked to such course as any prudent publisher would pursue for his own good, and such is the principle which has governed the business of the Era. A strictly cash business' is what the Era has always done, and no paper is sent a day longer than the time for which paid ; and in the matter of advertising strict adherence to the published rates is the inflexible rule. But coming together thus, the Editors 'know each other, personal ly, a better feeling is the result, and a higher-toned and more imperson al Journalism the consequence; while the meeting last week may be made tho basis for future action of practical value to tho entire press-interest of the State. a manufacturer in West , Virginia, who assumes the true Josition for every one having the good of our State at heart.

To the Editor of the Era : .The time has just about arrived when the Asesssors of the Revenue are settling their business with said department, and I consider it a fit time to speak of one of. them at least. I have reference to that much abused man, Col. W. P. Henderson, Assessor of the Gth District. I know of no man in the State that goes out -of office more regretted by all par ties than he does. With all the bitter hatred that has been heaped upon him for his political course not a man can be found who docs not re- gret parting with him officially. So far as the government is con- cerneu, it sustains u io.ss oi one oi i the best assessing officers in the State. His assessments were, al though done in strict accordance vith and close conformity to the letter of the law, much larger than his predecessor. This was done by his having a full knowledge ness, excepting to give his stock such attention as may be requisite to Keep tnem irom going wild. -Two men can attend to 10Q horses, wo sneep, ana ouu eattie.-aii the year through, excepting, to have some assistance in shearing , and marking tne sneep, in marking the S.NEEM for the poor laborer, and congratulations for the money hoard ers, extortioners and oppressors was the best the two Demoei atlc organs could do on the "strike" of last Monday. This article is prepared in reply to questions forwarded us by a cor respondent residing in Wilmington, of his0 District, and seeing that ar ticles subject to taxation were list ed. It was done by that enersv that characterizes every business movement of his life. He was never during his official career found sleeping at his post when the inter est of his government were in his Dele ware The sea coast portion: of Xorth Carolina comprising the narrow belt of land and marsh which sepa rates the waters or the sounds from the ocean, and including thi Islands in Albermarle. l'anilico and (Jurri tuck sounds, i one of' the finest grazing fields for stock' on the Con tinent.

This much he has done with an eve sintrle to .1 C ..I.-. . . IL.. I pToxiuVuyoit the interest of the State. Now let coast, as to render no care nwessarv. us examine for a moment his con- even in winter, to enable the stock j duct towards the revenue produc raiser to carry on a successful busi- ig part of the country.

We are disposed in the first place to ask our own people here for the light, but if they refuse we will not stop, but go where "the light shines." I- dispute the argument that Mr. Pritchard adduces. "No white Southern man can be a true pastor to a colored church." A white man can be as true a pastor to a col ored congregation as he can to a white; if this is not so what were they before the death of slavery? Were they untrue then? We had none bat white pastors in slavery times, and if they were not true pastors then they were false pas tors, and I am willing to leave it to them to decide which they were. Mr. Pritchard goes on to say " he may be able to preach to them and counsel them, bid he cannot visit their houses and enter into their feelings and sympathise with them as fully as a pastor should be able to do." Well, this is strango doctrine for a Doctor bf Divinity to preach. I will ask the Doctor if he goes to a ! man's house as pastor for other than I the spiritual good of the family ? If a colored brother or sister lying r UDon tne ueath-beu sends for Dr. P. will he say "I cant go" and speak a word for God and in God's name because the brother or sister is black? The Episcopate and Catholics never refuse to come to the bedside of the dying, or the sick or afflicted because of the color of the person ; nor do they refuse to give us all op portunities to have an intelligent idea of true Christianity ; rather do they adhere to the doctrine " Shall we whose souls are lighted, With wisdom from on high ; Shall we to men benighted, The lamp of light deny?" Dr. Pritchard is safe in saying " there are one or two (yes three) colored Templar lodges in this State working under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of the I. O. G. T.;" but it is very absurd and simple for him to inform his readers that he has been advised to demand the surrender of these charters. Why? Because these very same charters were bought and paid for just the same as the one he glories in, was ; and there is no law. human or di vine, that can deprive us of them. We have nine points of the law, the aid ot a little nitric acid, we have all the material ready to hand for the manufacture of our sulphur ic acid, and we believe it is an es tablished conclusion that no com pany can hope for success that does not make its own sulphuric acid. Another argument, in point of econ omy, for the works to be located in North Carolina, is drawn from the cheapness of labor in our state as compared with Baltimore. The item of city taxes, no small consid eration in Baltimore, is another in ducement for placing the works, as for instance those of the Navassa Company, somewhere in North Car olina outside of the city limits. Thus we see there is almost every consideration in favor of North Car olina if the manure is to be used by its farmers. Another argument of no small weight for our side of the question is, that such practical men as the Messrs. Graflin, Lawton and others, find it cheap and profitable to in vest their money in fertilizing works in North Carolina, the Na vassa, of Wilmington. If then it can be manufactured as cheaply here let the stockholders, by all means, have it here. How j does this company, if the works are I at lialtimore, beneht .North Caroli nians, except to the extent of the profit accuring to North Carolina stockholders ? How isJt any more a North Carolina concern than the Erie R. It. - would be, if a large number ol its shares were owned by citizens of this State? The estab lishment of manufactories is the way to develop a state. A factory for a concern of the magnitude of the proposed fertilizing company would furnish work for perheps fif ty or sixty persons and keep in the State all the money used in it, ex cept the cot of the crude material. North Carolinians do not look enough to remote results. Let them reflect upon the cause of greatness of other States and keep their mon ey at home. Let them subscribe to building up the North Carolina Fertilizing Company, but establish the work upon their own soil. We were in hopes we could go the full extent of Col. Griffith's scheme, but after much thought, and weighing the arguments pro and con, are compelled to differ with him. as to the point of loca tion. , Signal Station ta i on am.

Colored Teetotaler. Salisbury, N. C, May 15, 1873. We were pleased to meet last week with Sergeant Smith, of the Signal Service U. S. A., who has recently established a Signal Station on the summit of Mitchell's Peak of the Black Mouutain, at au eleva tion of 6,707 feet above tide water. We congratulate our people on the establishment of this important branch of public service in our re gion, and trust they will appreciate its benent3 to the scientific, as well as commerce and agriculture. The next step needed js to have a telegraph line from Salisbury to Old Fort, and thence to the top of Black Mountain ; so as to put this station in immediate telegraphic commun ication ,with Washington and all other stations, and we hope this will be accomplished at an early day. Then why should not some enter prising individual undertake the continuation of the line to Ashe ville? Let it be done. We shall look to SergeantSmith's weather reports from the Black Mountain with more than ordinary interest. AsieviUe Expositor.

But the .laboring class who produced the re sources for war always lost more than the amount of vitiation of currency. All values were Unsettled. The laborer knew not when lie reaped his crop whether could get a frac tional part of its real value. What ever he purchased soon ran up to a cost which would balance all possi ble losses, and so where the currency was thus corrupted the poor became continually poorer. At the present time our currency, though to a limited degree, is acor rupt one. The paper dollar is really worth a considerable fraction less than a dollar. This uncertainty of value tells especially on the work ing class. Every petty retailer of commodities who buys of the whole sale dealer, every wholesale mer chant who purchases from the im porter, must consider in his prices this variation of standard of value. j-acn one muse aad to his price in proportion to the possible change of currency during the next few months. In the close competition of business, a change of five or ten per cent, may make all the differ ence between profit and loss. Each laborer, as he purchases his daily articles of need, must pay a percent age as an insurance against this possibility. He himself, too has no certain, in come. His dollarAvhich he receives to-day may nor, next week, be able to purchase as much by ten per cent, as it does now, and yet no employer can change his daily wages to suit the changing value of paper currency. We be lieve that there i.s hardly any place in the civilized world where the same amount of money can pur chase so few commodities as in our sea-board States at the gresent time. The tendency also of an irredeem able currency is to act on the specu lative tendencies of the people. Values are uncertain, and capital is drawn away from legitimate busi ness and production to mere venture and stock-gambling. Fortunes are made and lost' in a day. Young men aim at sudden chances of wealth instead of sober industry. The capital of the community is very much withdrawn from where it most benefits the laboring 'elafe. and is thrown into speculations and wild schemes. We have no doubt that an irredeemable paper monev maKes tne poor poorer. o Jar from agreeing with the writer whom - we have quoted above, that the great curse ot poverty or pauperism is due to the specie currency system, we believe that it has been largely increased by this irredeemable pa per currency, which the orators of the poor so loudly approve; and any steps toward extending this currency, we . hold, tends toward the impoverishment of the laboring cias3.
