We we re >m,pri»d to see the banks open, drays running, and all the thoughtless multitude rushing about as if unconscious of that imminent and im pending calamity—an eclipse of the daily light of the daily press. It led to some reflections upon the value of the daily press, aud the immense obli gations which society owes to that institu tion. Commerce awakes to find every morning the price of gold, and of all other marketable commodities ; the shipping on the ocean or river is announced ; the poli ticians learn the state of national legisla tion aud of party intrigues ; the miscella neous reader is rejoiced with tfie latest fires, suicides, or calico raids on the bar rooms and barrel-houses. Besides, it may be modestly added, that every journal con tains an editorial homily with the political admonitions, whereby the reader may walk aright during the day. It is not probable that society realizes It is not probable that society realizes the full value of an institution which, at so little cost to each, provides so much in formation. It is when obliged to wear a bandage over our eyes for a day or two that we return appropriate thanks to Providence for the blessing of good sight. Society should, then, appreciate the value . of a daily press,and remember that it can not be sustained without liberal patronage. It is particularly to be regretted that an - , , , . . , i find reduced rates remunerative, it does not follow that the proprietor can pay | more for a journal is at least as much a I joint stock as the ship and her sailors— each is essential to the other. If the ship apparent conflict of interest has occurred between the proprietors and compositors, each of whom must at last depend on the patronage and profit of the journals. Compositors are, we are aware, subjected to much expense, but the same causes op erates to diminish the profits of the pro prietor. While the compositor may not I the sailors mast naffer fhrmrrV. I I , the sailors must suffer, though we admit they mav take to the long-boat. Wel a ve.opuu,«tomak..nj.r 8 »me Bt on this question of relative right in the pending issue, certainly not to impugn the .. . . J F B motives of an indispensable friend—the compositor. It is, however, an occasion to remind tire public Urn, pr,«„„ . great and serviceable agent it is necessary to recognize the momey, talent, and labor . .. . , , J requisite to conduct and continue it. Let ns hope, then,that, whatever be the issue of this conference between vested I capital and intelligent labor, the public will remember the chief cause to be a question in what proportion these two co operative elements shall bear and divide the loss of running a daily paper in the city of New Orleans. STRIKE OF THE PRINTERS The unfortudate difficulty between the I city papers and the printers which re- I '"'>'«<* determination „ lte pr0 . prietors to reduce the price paid for com position, still remains unadjusted. This • . , , j , . is deplorable, as both parties suffer by it. Each is essential to the other. N a wspa pern cannot be published withontpiinters, and very few printers can afford to go long at a time without work I v ... „ None ot the New Orleans papers have I been self-sustaining during the past vear. The Times has fallen into the hnr.de of 1 anes uas iauen into tne lianas of its paper merchant, who does not think he lias drawn a prize. The Picayune after • • experiencing adversity, finally was sold by > * ------ . . -. I the sheriff for one-fifth of what it cost a year before. The Bee, also has been pub lished at the expense of the owners. The a ^' though the latter establishment had, to,.of the b.ve tea kept I open by the gains of the job office, which have been entirely absorbed in the ex- J n- u- .. , I peuse of publishing the daily. Since the strike of the printers the " d " ot *»«**«• »> as we learn, a number of men at work li-,..., i last nioht, with some prospect of getting I out a diminished sheet. The ricayune, so far, has not been able to turn a wheel, I tnough we hope it will get in motion te day. The Republican has not achieved an, brilliant results in the ,b„nc. ot i„ skillful and nimble fingeVed compositors. a, The Bee, however, has succeeded in get- I c ling a full complement of hands, and is able to go on as usual. 0UB MAGNANIMITY. We shall magnanimously forbear to as sail our pugnacious antagonist the Pic " , „ , ' wliile it is down and unable for the mo unable for the mo ment to resist. When, however, like its great original, it shall have got its wind again, we will fight " an hour by Shrews bury clock. Till then we repress our martial ardor, but heartily hope our frac tious contemporary may soon be in fight ing trim again. b b Appointments by the Governor.
