" f Manchester, E.NG.,Oct.4. 1SH7. b the Editor of The Boston Journal: Tiffs great city b jo the heart of the ipanufacturiog district of England.:! tbe cetton metropolis of the Uuitud Kingdom," built- on cotton' and Sustained by it., it is a city ot iramcoe wealth, and capital' ia increasing with great rapidity. It i3 not such a neat, clean, airy city as Lowell, or Lawrence, or other manufacturing towns of the United States, but a city of one-half million inhabitant?, with its suburbs- of Salford. The wfcn'e c-oun-tjy is a forest of tall chiruueyg, Iouring out columns of black s-moke. f the inaauiactarirjsr interest increases curing the twenty-five ye-trs to come as it has for a quarter f a century gone by, this section of England will be one vast city ull the way from Liverpool to Leeds half way from the Irish sea to the German ocean. - You may ride sixty miles due ist from Liverpool and never be able to loose siftht of factory chimniea not all for the manufacture of cotton, but for woolen goods, for everything under the sun requiring machinery for its manufacture. In addition , to the chimneys of the factories are those of the colleries and founderiea. The whole country is honey combed. Thousands of men. hundreds of feet underground, are digging and delving, fending the "bowels of the earth" up to the surface to be transmuted into heat and motion. 1 ; WORKING MEN. . ... ! j In this section of the country you can easily come in contact with the substratum of English society. As a peologist studies the peculiar forma- I tion of the earth beneath his feet, by1 the specimen of coal, iron or stone trough t up from the mines and quarries, so here jo Lancaster .you can with equal ease become acquainted with what may with fitness be.cajled the carbonat-iou -strata ot Enljshj society. It js that formation which; like the coaTs of England, jives ifio-1 tion, energy, activity to the nation I have been spending several' days; in this vicinity to become acquainted with the working men. especially to study the new relation between cipi-i tal and labor, which had its origin in Lancashire. Your readers," J am sure, .will be all the more interested iu i', because it was here, in the. houses of the poor, daring the late - war, that the United States had true, sincere, honest friends, who, by their heroic endurance of hardship and privation, kept England from recognizing the Confederacy. At the time when there was a combination of malign influence at work against the interests of the United States though .starvation stared these men in the face blockade running profits, and the influence of ship owners and of the' Emperor ol France, the Times of London, the aristocracy, members of Parliament, the literati, with Mr. Carlyle for a leader, and other influences were it work to compel the Ecgiish Government to give its aid openly for the establishing of slavery, these men stood firm for freedom. At the time;when their own distress was greatest, when the fires of all these thousands of iur-naces-wertJ xit, when there was- no work to be had, these men, with children crying for . bread arpuzid t hem, on the la'stday of' Decern brer, upjt in . public assembly to express theiir thanks to Abraham Lincoln for issuing his proclamation of emancipation. General .Burnside had beep repulsed at Fredericksburg.-, It, was ,,an hour of gloom ' inr v Anieri-ca"-gloom . '. by many. -a . .' fireside,, where sileiit tears were shea -f.jr those who had fallen in1 'the i-mfe-j-gloom by marjy a camp fire along the back ti : the; 'Kappa lianpocKy 1m expect a restoration of the Union is as unreasonable as to expects, 'restoration of the Heptarchy," wasih sentiment of the' London- Tlrm: "In the House of Commons, and in the ball of the Peers, at Council Boards and on " Change ". an expression of sympathy for the Great Republic was received with laughter and derision; but the faith of these men never--w-vered,.and nineteen days after .issuing their address, President Lincoln sent back his reply: "I cannot but regard your decisive utterances upon the Juestion as an. instance .'of sublimie Christian heroism which has notbeeb surpassed in any cge o any country." -These Lancashire operatives have inaugurated a movement which poisibly may bring about new relations between employes apd.employedi It will be my endeavor to give in brief son:e account: vf.hat is; g-iug op, under wh;it is called the co-operat ve system which has already been transplanted to America. Capital and, labor are much further removed,Mhe one from the thei4 in England, thau in the United Sra.'cs Here, cate comes, in with its dej i"sw icg influence in a way unknown v tt of the Atlantic. There are nurrj! rles prctective "organizations Vr tective Union. Trade Unions, Fric- -ly Societif-, Bui'dinjrSocieties. At. ''.-gaiiiuifcd-Suiieiies, Orders, of. Fu: w -t ers, Prudential Socictiesi and o'i-v . designed to give aid and eouiimt iu the hour of need, to bring the power of Labor to bear against Capital, and to organize : strikes. While some; of thenv are ! mutual benefit societies, others are organized for the avowed

purpose of compelling employers to iceede.jto.tiie denianda fjf those euri' ployed. Buc separate and distinct from these are the -co-operative or

ganizations. ... , THriONEER, SOCIETY Twenty-two years ago there were twenty-eight workingmen in Rochdale, the home of John Bright, all of whom were low down in the world, hard-workmg men, who found it no easy-matlr;toGaakeJ the .'two3dds of the year meet. Like many thousands; of other men, they saw their scanty, earnings go into the rockets of a class of middle-men small shop-keepers; and hucksters who stood between them and the first cost of food. All over the countrv Protective Union i stores had been established, and all had failed. The first idea of co-operation: was'r fpra eoniblaatio)4 , toj-do away with all retailers to purchase supplies, food, and clothing at first cost, and thus save one or two profits. A certain number of individuals put their spaie shillings into a common stock and employed an agent to purchase supplies, but it was soon found that there were various reasons for the failure of the plan. Such stores had no special attraction for the public; there was no guaranty against false dealing, and the few who had contributed their shillings, not having the general public for customers, soon found that the expense of keeping up the concern made it a losing business. The twenty-eight men jbf -Rochdale, not discouraged by their first" attempts, started in 1844 on a new plant They had learned something of exl perience. I hey put into the concer.4 So a peice, c'14U in all. jNot a verv large capital for setting up a store but tney said to tne public: Invest! in this tiewnterprise and you shall have' o' per'tftm't: for your money, for we will uever eDgage in any specula tion, we will give no credit. We will buy for cash and sell for cash." We have made a calculation, and know that this course, it rigidly adhered to, w;ll enable us to supply goods cheap er than any huckster or small trader. More than this, we propose, after pnying interest on the capital, to di vide as bonus whatever remains in proportion to the amount spent in the store by each member." That was the proposition. Tbeweat! through the first year without loss. .They made also the discovery that custom is as necessary as capital; that the number of individuals in a family made a difference; that a man with a large, family was much more prontable as a customer than a single man; that there was no inducement to purchase inferior articlesdo temptation to sell them at high prices; inasmuch as whatever was taken from an individual would go back to him as bonus. Those who had thus combined could show their neighbors that they had better goods at cheaper rates than those supplied by the small traders. The second year they had 74 members and $905 capital, and were able to divide $110 profits. The third year they had 80 members, with a capital of $1,2G0; did a business of 5,700 and divided $400. , , ; , In 1854, ten years from the commencement, they had nine hundred members, a capital of $36,000, and did a business of $166,820, at a profit of nearly $9,000. With such a capital, the proprietors were able to buy as advantageously as the largest dealers. They were cash customers; they had no debts; they had the confidepce of the public of the rich See how rapidly Another", ten years of the terrible ones and the poor, they- weDt on ! including those ot to the cotton famine brought them t O I . 1 i- .1 , io, wun lour thousand seven hundred and; forty-seyem members, $120,000 capital, a business ot nearly $IKM 1.000. and a profit for that year of $1 13,000. The years of 1865 and 1S66 have seea the-tide rolling on mightier than ever." Before me is the balance sheet of I860 a membership of sii thousand two hundred and forty-six -a large- urajority of the families in th City a "capital o'f'one half million dodars a business of $1,245,000, and a profit of $160,000! 1 give round numbers, reckoning$5. to the pound. The membership to-day is'over seven thousand, and the profits for the year 1867 will exceed $200,000, nearly all. o! which will gq back to. the pockets of the members "as" bonus.' The working expenses are only two per cent, on the returns. A VISIT TO. ROCHDALE. Accompanied by gentlemen coni r. nectea wun mis co-operative move ment, I visited Rochdale to see the stores or inis pioneer.society. it was in the evening, and the streets were! crowded with people, operatives from the mills, who, alter their day s work tto.to&;.tp.e.yAtreets -for recreation "This is our butcher's shop," sait, my conductor, showing me into larg building where quarters 0f2al beet and mutton were hung. A hali dozen men and more than that num ber of boys, were waiting on custom' ers. "That is our buyer," he said, pointing a. young .tnan, jn one corner who was making up his accounts. '' He buys the best the market affords.' " 'Passing up stairs we came to the cscrks of the establishment, one of whom laid aside his pen and went with me across thestreet to one of the groceries of the society, a large store thi juged-wub. men, wemieu and children. From thence we went into the .-trect once more, and he pointed to the s-hce shop and the tailor's shop belongi.og'iVR': the, ;,ociety; then up a stairway, we went into a reading room filled with men and boys, fifty or more, perusing in silence the London dail papers, the London magazines,

newspapers from all parts of the kingdom. Seme had volumes from

the library in the adioinin? room others were looking at stereographic i views. . we Aa ye eleven newsrooms ... TfT - 1 . in the town," said the gentleman in a wbtFper,"--ndleveB stores. --! hen taking me , into the street again, he pointed out the new buildings of the society not yet completed the handsomest in town, built of stone. " We shall have three shops on the ground floor, with storerooms in the base ment; in. the second story we shall have dry goods and a' storeroom for the grocery, and the offices ot the so ciety; in the - third - story a library ropra' ffs ryomTiandl p the fourth storya hall capable "of seating l,o00 persons, ... i: "How much will ifcost?" ' " "About 10,CMK)r(-?5Q,000.) WTehad a uieetrDs last Saturday nitrht. lur Hughes (author of -' Tom Brown,") was up here, and 'Mr. Morrison who is alsd. a member of Parliament and we had a grand time." , ; Thomas . Hughes has taken great interest m the plan of co-operation; so has Mr. Mill, Mr. Morrison, and other Liberal members of Parliament. It was my privilege to meet Mr Morrison and obtain some exceedingly interesting facts from him in regard to the movement. . . A CORN MILL. Following my guide I soon found myself at a mill a large brick build ing from which came the sound cf the grinding hlteen stones, which whirf unceasingly from Monday morning till 10 o'clock Saturday night. It went into operation in .1851. The object of the men who erected it workingmen, all of them was to provide pure, wholesome flour and meal of the best quality at the cheapest rates. They started with a eapital of $13,000, but through mismanagement lost 12,000 the first year; but in 1852 they had a profit of $1,800, and from that tiuie to the present the mill has been turning out' meal and profits; in 1866 at the following rate: funds, $360,100; business, $1,120,000: profits. $90,000! .'-.,' The capital of the Pioneer Society ps .raised in shares of $5. A person 6 become a member of the Society uust. . take . out rive shares, and ;no member can hold more than one hunIre'l. They may be paid at once, or fT,instullhients of seventy-five cents. 'rofits are divided quarterly. , rirst, he interest of 5 per cent, per annum n paid up shares ; second, depreciaion of fixed stock buildings and the ike at 10 per cent, per annum; thjrd. Ei per cent; for the reading-room, ibrary and-schools; and the remainler among:tbe members in proportion o the; amount expended by eax-h in he stores. The library contains about ',000 volume?. -'-This is the result of twenty-two rears adherence to the principle dopted at the beginning. By the census of 1861, there were only 7,700 ahabited houses in Koehdale; the number now probably exceeds 8,000. but the number of members belongng to the society is nearly or quite 7,000, showing that seven out of every sight of the . householders are enjoyng the benefits of co-operation. This is the simplest and probably the most effective form of. co-opera-ion. utfrer principles have been idopted by other societies, but this of he Koehdale Pioneer wil! probably best commend itself. I . shall have Iriore to say of the working men ot England m another letter. Careltox. Boston- (Oct. 21) Cor. New York Express. ' Ihe Sumner Scandals. A public man sometimes becomes o public that his private, "affairs comuand a publicity which it would be b MntciaUa4t -tlie- irb. -not - to jotice. HenetrJ seqd you the follower: -Not 'tw6yeafs" ago tlie lonernown bachelor, Charles Sumner, Jjecame a benedict. A highly, eduateu and in many respects an accomlished Jinan,. -pi v poca - manner and etter appearance, naturally enough, ie stood high among the ladies ot Boston, and lie had no difficulty in .Tinning the hand of - a .widow, (from ne ot the I .' Jb.s or JJosto'd); who acrinced xto jnconsideraoie; jointare in marrying him. I be honey moon had all the apparent charm that honeymoons usually.iia-vewhen Mrs. oumner. went, with 'her husband to Washington and new scenes ensued. Among the accomplished men composing the diplomatic (Jorps in Washington- was -iiaron iiolstein, ' of t - ' 1 . , - 1 v . -russia, wnom ine Prussian JYing had ttached to the Prussian Legation there "to spy out the land1. Natu rally enough, he courted the acquaintance of Charles Sumner, the Chairman of the "Committee ' on Foreign Affairs in'thefienateu who", at A dinner party, introduced his jwife - to f the Baron,' and who wa placed beside hr at dinner. , Aa acquaintance ensued, and a friendship f'o 1 lowed i such' as naturally and hondrably springs up between sthf sfxejw-iV kindfi, tastes and aspirations. The Baron attended to the lady.r ro-j jalinees and soirees, and in olher" public places, and occasionally 'Escorted'! her f'ro'm the Senate, where both Jiad been to hear the Senator speak. Mr. Sumner, becoming displeased with this acquaint anceship it cannot be properly called intimacy wrote a. letter to Baron II .l.-te'n, in Winer, whi compla:niug of it, report says be insinuated something dishonorable .to the wife. The Baron wrote back a letter, m which, i'' sub.-tanee,' he said there was no cause of offense whatever he. had been polite to madauie, a? be 'was to other 1 idies of similar accomplish-; ments, and nothing had ever happened which propriety or good taste forbade. But it the Senator wa3 not

he was ready to satisfaction asa man of honor demanded. This correspondence was the beginning and end of part first; but Mr. Sumner, report says, then became cool to his wife, and the lady and the Baron became more reserved in their intercourse. Then Mr. Sumner, as Chairman of our Committee on Foreien Affairs, wrote to- the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs, the distinguished Bismarck, that if he (Bismarck) would recall the Baron, he (Sumner) would be obliged.1 "The adroit Bismarck yielded ' to. the; potential position of; the American Chairman of Foreign Affairs, and the Baron was recalled to Berlin.' ' : Mrs:. Sumner next became acquainted with this correspondence, and, naturally enough, was indigna'nt beyond all power of description;.' 1 Heir ; indignation naturally rested upon that part of the correspondence which, it was alleged, touched her honor. The end of all this is, that Mrs. Sumner has gone her way to Europe their common establishment in Washing-; ton being given up, and another taken by the Senator for the winter 1 here is some scandal afloat beyon all this, relating both to the Senator and the lady such as may be expect ed from early denouements in such marriage affair but the basis of the reports in tsoston is such as 1 Eend you. What-1 have written is in everybody s mouth, and it may possi blv be erroneous in some ot the de tails, but in substance probably cor rect. I send it to vou for publics tion. because what, if anything, is wrong here, had better at once be set right, to stop the tongues of the thou sands that are making more out of i few facts. . . , i - ". i CLOCKS. a K0SENCRANZ, ..; .'
