The Labor Congress—a Convention which has been holding in Chicago discussed the subject of State's Pri«ra con vict labor, as it competes with the labor of outside mechanics, and adopted a resosution looking to tie bringing of a snit against the managers or one of the State Penitentiaries of Illinois for an lDjunc tion, to test the question in the courts, on the ground that "States and Governments aro created to protect the people in their industrial pursuits, and not for the establishment, of manufacturing interests iii direct competition with the law-abiding citizens."

What to do with the inmates of our Penitentiaries without placing their Jaboi in competition with outside labor, is problem which prison managers ano statesmen have vainly endeavored to solve. It is conceded on all sides, thai these convicts must be employed at labor of some kind, and that they ought, as far as possible', to be made to earn enough foi the State to pay for the expense of theii keeping. The person who will (devise a system of convict labor by which this can be accomplished without bringing our prisons in competition wi|h some one or more classes of outside citizen labor, will soive the problem. The officers of ouf State prison, for example, have frequently been appealed to by representatives 01 mechanical trades, especially from jour, neymen stone-cutters, coopers and sboe_ makers to abolish or do away with tbt present workshop system of that institu tion, which, they aliege, is degruding and damaging to them. Tho Penitentiary officers, who are in full sympathy with alt men who can "earn their bread by the sweat of the brow," have given attentive audience to these appeals, and have at various times seriously considered whether there is not some method or plan that could be substituted in place of tbe pre* ent workshop system of convict labor, to remedy the matter complained of. The convicts are sentenced "to bard labor," and tho State, through the Legislature, has established workshops in the Peni tentiary inclosure for employing them at certain kinds of labor. The Penitentiary officers must accept tbe laws as they finu them, and conduct th§ institution and employ its labor accordingly. They bavt failed to discover any method by which tc enable them to grant the requests of the mechanical trades. "We doubt not that tho prison officers of this Slate or any other State would feel grateful to the Labor Congress, or to any other person or persons, if they would suggest a.praeticable and effective system of convict labor that would not come in competition with citizen laborors. If tbe Labor Congress will devise such n,system, (for a convict labor syitem of soma kind must be adopted) they will do a good thing, und insure the ascomplishment ol tho object they are aiming at. Applications for injunctions, suits at law, or petitions to prison officers, can result in nothing unless a practicable method can be devised for remedying tho evil complained of, or, in other words, unless a substitute can bo discovered to take tho placo of the present Penitentiary workshop system.

The formidable ram Dundorberg made a splendid voyage from New York to France within fifteen days, and behaved admirably in all sorts of weather. She yioldod to tko holm as easily as the lightest vessol, and rode on the waves buoyantly. In fact, she is a great triumph ot American ship building, and for Mr. "VVebb, her builder, in particular. The French aro dolighted with their purchase, and thoy may well be so for the Dunderberg, beyond all question, is the most for midablo ship of war afloat. The other Powers of Europo may follow the oxample of Franco and come to America for vessels to strengthen their navies. Let them come. We have the skill and material, and if uny of them want it wo ean now build rum that would sink tbe Dunderberg.

CONSERVATIVES who are fond of congratulating themselves upon the "fall of Secretary Stanton," remind us of the rebel Generals who were always getting Sherman just where they wanted him." Wait till October and learn whetbor tbe Copperheads have seen the last of their enemj 1 "Wait till next year, and see whether tho last rebel victory has done any hurm. Leo, by repeatedly "beating" Grant, '-whipped'' him into the capital of the Confederacy. In like manner, Johnson,by "kicking" out the enemies of rebellion from place and power may "kick" somebody into the capital of the Union if he is not careful. ---<>---

ITis said the Indians on the Plains have an ingenious way of setting fire to houses with their arrows. They wrap with a rag some powder on the heads of their arrows, and on the tip of their arrow heads place a percussion cap. When the arrow strikes the object to be fired, the cap is exploded and the powder and rag ignited. The rag burns long enough to set any combustible with which it may come in contact on fire. ---<>---

In February last, eleven citizens of JSorth Garoiina. headed by a Justioe of the Peace, flogged and abused in the most horrible manner a freed woman for daring to defend herself against the a^aoks of a daughter of ono of the brutes. The punishment inflicted upon the offender is ridiculously light, but Geo. Sickles will see that this is scrupulously enforced.

Thi American Legation in Bom• has been closed, as the mission ot the United States to the Papal Government fa as been discontinued. There area number of other Legations that are fully as super* fluous as that in Rome, and might be shut without any greater injury to the interests of the United States.

Alabama has already 122,000 registered voters, 51,000 white and 71,000 black. It is thought the whole number registered will be 130,000. There is no doubt that tbe Union men will have a large majority.

Thk

Chilians aro greatly alarmed at

the expectedTetum of tbe Spanish squadron. The Government freely express their opinion that tbe Spaniards will very shortly make their appearance.— Some preparations have been made for the defense of Valparaiso, bat it ^feared that they are insufficient, and that tbe city may be buroed.^^

How a fiond or Bank Jfote Is Hade. I doubt if one in a hundred of those who shall JioM these new bonds have any adequate idea of tbe amount of labor expended upon them. In the first place, for coupon bond four plates of tbe finest -teel are required, two for the body of tbe bond and twu for the coupons. Tbe process of preparing steel for engraving is a very elaborate and intricate one. Tte tueial is susceptible of tbe finest finish of *ny in the wurld, and tbe plates, when readv to be engraved upon, are dazzlirg ly bright and beautiful.

Tbe process of executing a bond or oank note is aslollows: Mr McDonough, who may be called tbe architect of tbe oond, and who is an experienced and talbnted artist, sketches a design of tke instrument, embodying such features as tbe party engaging the work may indicate but tbe vignettes are generally suggested '»y bis own funcy. Having completed bis lesign, be assigns to different artists various portions of the wcrk.

Some times several artists are engaged upon one vignette, combining landscape and one or more figures, of men or animals, one artist will b$ given the landscape to sketch, while another will be assigned the figurei,' and a third, to put a tiiiish upon the work of tbe work of the two first. Tben tbe lettering is again the work of different class of artists. We nre very apt to do injustice to these artists, who give us so many novel, unique, elegant and beautiful variations upon our noble Roman characters. Letter engravers are unkown to fame but they have originated many beautiful things, and we owe tbem the credit of a myriad of bap py conceits that have conveyed pleasure to tbe appreciative mind.

The groundwork and boarder of the bond or bank note is done by machinery. Among the other machines is a very curious one, called tbe "cycloidal," invented by Cyrus Durand, a veteran bank note engraver, a brother of A. B. Durand, the celebrated artist, and as this machine is used nowhere except by this company a description of it is worth reading. The work produced by it is a combination of ecceDtric lines, producing an infinite variety of patterns and designs. Tbe principle of this mechanism is the combined movement of a number of adjustable ec. •entries or Cam*, acting under tbe diamond point which engraves the line. The work is used for colored printing upon any papers representing value and requiring security against counterfeiting tnd alterations, and in combination with Words and figures, has constituted one of tbe principal securities in bank notes, legal tenders, etc., for a number of years.

Another most interesting machine, owned exclusively, in the patent, by this company, I found in a separate room, which was looaed, and which only a certain few are over permitted to enter.— This machine is the invention of Mr. Oldham, who formerly had charge of an important department in tho engraving establishment of the Bank of England.— The work performed by Mr, Oldham with "bis machine is very intricate and wonderful, and forms a breakwater against counterfeiting such as nothing else has yet fie'en found to afford. With these machines and others, used only by this company, geometrical designs and combinations are constantly being originated by the fertile brain of Mr. McDonough, which are at the same time in beauty and invaluable as safeguards against tbe countertoiter.

So much for the artistic work proper, which is dono at the rooms of the company, No. 1 Wall street. At Nos. 7, 9 and 11 .Nassau street, the compasy have an extensive establishment, wnere the work of preparing the plates, printing, etc., is done. The bardening'process, and its objects, constitute an interesting item. The die, or piece of steal upon which a vignette, or word, or any other part of a bond or note is engraved, is enclosed in a sort of mold, and placed in a carbon lire (tbe carbon made from ivory,) and thus subjected for a number of hour* to an intense beat. This die, thus hardened, is tben placed In a press, and the engraved work upon it literally stomped into a steel cylinder or roll, which with the engraving thus most perfectly and bdautiiully transferred, is itself in turn hardened, and used as the die with which to transfer the engraving to tbe plate containing tne complete face of tbe bond. Tlius, piece by piece, tbe different conceptions of the ar'.ist', first embodied by them in steel, arc, by tho handiwork of skillful artisans, and the application ot tbe elements and forces of nature, finally combined in one barinonions whole, to constitute a thing of beauty, and a representative, in the hands of man, of the devil's principal motive power in his operations above ground

The process of printing on steel is exactly the reverse of printing up»n stone In tho latter, the work is raised on tbe surface of the stone, and the stone is first •eated in such a manner that when the roller of ink is drawn over it, only the lines and characters to be printed receive tho ink. But instep engraving the ink is first put over the wbolo surface of the place, and then wip«c off with rags, leav ing tbe indented portions filled with ink, and the paper is pressed down into them, and thus receives the impression, leaving a raised surface, which has to be pressed mooth. It is no small item, this rag wiping, as from ten to twelve thousand yards of cotton cloth—"cheese cloth" are purchased at a time to supply the consumption. After tbe plate is wiped off by tbe rags an extra polishing is given by the baud before printing and it is a singular fact that nothing bas yet been invented which could convey this last polih required bo perfectly as the human baud. In this thing nature stands triumpbant over all the devices of art.

It is estimated that the plates, if well engraved, wilt produce thirty thousand good impressions, and this is the guarantee generally given by bank note companies but accident or imperfect quality of steel may render the number less then tbe plates must bo re-touched and re-en-tered, after which it is estimated that they will give twenty thousand rnoro. Tbe process of re-ontering plates is one of the most delio&te, and requires the highest degree of skill, and tbe rolls must be so placed that they will pass over their exact previous cpurso upon tbe plates, so that the finest lines, too fine to be seen without the aid of a glass, shall be exactly re-entered by the embossed roll lor the work upon the roil is exactly the reverse of that upon the plate, being raised where that upon the plate is depressed. This most' exceedingly difficult work can can only be done alter years of practice, and in this, and every other department of tho bank-note business, one is impressed with the conviction that it is a life business, and a man to be proflcieot in any part of it, must have no other practical aim in existence, so far as business pursuits are concerned.—Missouri Democrat,

"My Wife tells the truth three times a day," remarked a jocose old fellow, at the same time casting a mischevious glance at her. "Before rising io^the morning she says: 'Oh, dear, I must get up, but I don't want to After breakfast she adds 'Well, I suppose I must go to work, but I don't want toand she goes to bed, saying There I have been working all day, and I haven't done anything.".

1 Mad Frolic—A Pair of CbiTalrMfc 'Lovers, and How Tfcejr lacoMet Lady Home—Stealing aa Oanikaa. [From the Ckicago Tribnna.

Very early yesterday a couple of romantic youths residing in the WestJJivision engaged in a rather wild adventure, which bad nearly earned tor tbem a night's lodging in the station house, besides subjecting tbem to a somewhat nnpleastnt investigation in tbe morning liefore bis Honor. Tl ey belong to a highly respectable class of society, and we therefore Train from giving tbeir names. One of them is known familiarly as Hal. The other answers to tbe name of Cola. Let that suffice. They are both promising youths, rather wild, rather fast, and always ready for a "lark." Being up early in the morning, they caught a lark yesterday, which was likely to prove a little troiblesome

Of course there was a lady in tbe case— a lady to whom both of the young men are, or profess to be devotedly attached. And yet tbey are not jealous of each other, not a whit, or if they are they never show it. Hal is her "dear friend." So is Cula. She has a heart large enough lor both, «t least she makes them believe so, and tbey are content. There are such girls, though "tbeir names are generally written on gravestones."

On Thursday evening, it would appear, this large hearted lady, who is said to be possessed of extraordinary fascinations, was at an evening party far oat in the West Division. Where also were her two admirers. When midnight came and pas«ed she announced her intention of walkiug home all the way to the south side, as the night was lovely, the moonlight bright and the last car gone. Of course Hal would see her home. So would Cla. She was willing, and the happy trio started. How ram and splendid she looked, they thought, in her white silks, as they conducted her along the midnight streets. Tbey were both perfectly charmed, tie "dear friends." But she bad not walked many blocks when she grew faint and was unablejto proceed. What \*hs to be done? They could not carry her—she weight 150 pounds. There was nii car, and no hack within two miles. They had reached tbe corner of Ann street, when the gentlemen perceived a number of empty busses, belonging to Coun & Tenbroecke, standing quite noglebted on tbe street. A brilliant idea struck the whole party at once. The age of chivalry not being quite gone, why not put the lady into the 'bus and drag her home It would be highly romantic at least. The cady challenged them to car* ry out this mad frolic, ann they accepted tho challenge. She took her seat on the icside, and away rattled the old "bus" rathe- heavily aloag Kandolph, the ens tHusiastic lovers pulling with all their might, und tbeir precious freight sceaming with laughter.

Just at this moment a policeman came aloug, and seeing with amazement, a bus being conducted without a conductor at that unseasonable hour of the morning, ho very naturally concluded that there were thieves abroad. "Daring Larceny of an Omnibus," would make a heavy item, he thought, for tbe morning papers. And so it would. But it looked more like the abduction of a princess in a family chariot A policeman is not supposed to appreciate joke at one o'clock in the morning. The worthy officer did not see the princess, so he could not very well see the joke. He followed the supposed villains und took them in charge. The beautiful young lady jumped out, while her two friends looked rather foolish.— '•Where were you going with that 'ere 'bus?" said tbe policeman. Tbey could not explaiu. "Does that 'bus belong to you it did not. "This looks very suspicious." It certainly did. They had to acknowledge that it looked rather queer, not to say wicked.

The policeman was about to perform his duty and conduct the whole party to tbe station, when a few words of explanation served to convince him of the innocence ot their intentions, and he let them depart in peace, after assisting tbem to replace the vehicle in its old stand.

The firm of George P.

THEIft FIRST MOLTGAGK

As an Investment

The rapid progress of the Union Pacific KallroaJ, now building west from Omaha, Nebraska, and forming, with its western connections, an unbroken line acrots the contJnent, attracts attention to the value of thS Tirst Mortgage Bonds which the Company now ofTer to the public. The first question asked by prudent Investors is, "Are thase bonds secure Next, "Are they a proiitable in* vestment?" To reply in brief: 1st. The early completion of the whole great line to the Pacific is as certain ai any future business event can be. The Government grant of over twenty million acr of land aad fifty mlllien dollars in its own bonds practically guarantees it. One fourth of the work is already done, and the track continues to be laid at the rate of two milsa a day. 4 2d. Ihe Union Pacific Bail road bauds are issued upon what promises to be one of the moat profitable lines of railroad iu the country. Tor many years it must be the only line connecting the Al1 intic and Pacific and being without competition, it can maintain remunerative rates. 3d. 126miles of I hi. road a finished and fully equipped with depots, locomotives, cars, tc*, aad two trains are daily running each way. The Ssar teriaU for the remaining 94 riiles to the eastern base of .the Bocky Mountain sane an- hand, aatd-i is under contract to be done ia September. 4tb. The net earnings of the sections already finished are bkvehal tikis obeatm than the gold interest upon tbe First Mortgage Bonds upon such sections, and ii not another mile of the road we a built, the pait already completed would not only pay interest and expenses, but be profitable to taa

Their amouct is strictly limited by law to a sum equal to what is granted by the V. 8. Government, and for which it takes a second Hen aa its security. This amen at upon the first 617 milea west from Omaba is only (16,000 per mile. 7tb. The fact that tbe U. S. Government considers a second lien npoa the road a good investment, and that some of the shrewdest railroad builders of the ountry have already paid in five million dollars^upon tlie stock (which is to them a third lien,) may well inspire confidence in a first lien. 8tb. Although it is not claimed that there can be any better securities than Governments, there are parties who oons ider a first mortgage npoa such a property as this the very beat security in the world, and who sell their Government# to reinvest in these bonds—thus securing a grrater interest. 9th. As the Union Pacifio Bailraad bonds are offered for the present at 90 cents on the dollar and accrued interest, they are the cheapest in tho market, being more than 15 per cent, less thaa U. S.
