The Utica strike.

IHh factory strikes a Uues and Auburn. 70
which we have heretofore alluded, ,re beg innit 8
70 assume more thaa a local Importance. Toe
ope'snves In the wooden mills have teen on strike
'or TWO weeks, but on Monday those In the large
eo"on mills At Utica stopped work aud nosihsd
'her employers that they would not resume u
until their demands were complied With. Tie re-
sult is' that the mills are all closed, the employers
absolutely refuse TO sccede 10 the terms PROPOSED,
snd are preparing TO sell the raw material on haLd
with the ostensiblo determination TO have their
own way or cease business psrmau.ntly. 1t Will
be remembered th., the disagreement Was oocA-
stoned by an attempt Of The factory operatives 10
establish the ten hour system of labor. Up 10 tie
time OF the strike they were compelled to
labor from twelve to fifteen hours for
days wrrk, and they very properly determ ned
that this outrageous eIseton should no longer
continue. II thero ever was ju,thsblo Triko
certainly this is ono Tut Ike al strikes, whether
iustifable or NOT It 10 likely TO fall heavily upon
those engaged in H. the propnesor' o' the mills
sihcrs TO their avowed determination, the opera
hves w.ll be placed In avery uncomfortable posi-
ton, considering that tho cold weather Is Just
approaching. They dsserv W be assisted b. their
fellow-laborors, howeser, for this question Of the
proper duration Of . days labor 10 one Of grea,
importance 10 oil classes Of operatives, in every
locality. Ten hours day Ia quite long enough 10
lator, and theso ersotions OF unscrupulous en-.
poyers should be broken up.

IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS.
FROM WASHINGTON.
The Tunis Ambassadors.

WASHINGTON, October 27.-The Tunis Am
bassadors, in company with Consul Perry
paid an official visit to the Secretary of State
this morning, and left with him copy oftheir
credentials. No time has yet been fixed fol
their presentation to the President. During
to-day the distinguished strangers, under the
escort of Mr. Cox, of the State Department,
visited various localities of interest. They
were conveyed in open carriages.
MIR. REAGAN.
Mr.. Reagan, ex-rebel Postmaster General,
had a long interview with President johnson
this morning, and will now leave Washington
direct for his home in Texas.
EXECUTIVE PARDoNs.
1t is understood that the President has di-
rected that all pardons under the amnesty
proclamations which are not called for at the
Department of State within one week after
they are ready for delivery, will be forwarded
to the Governors of their respective States
BoUNTIES TO COLoRED TROOPS.
The Secretary ofWar has, it is said, prohib-
tied the payment of bounties to snch of the
colored troops as were not free on the 10Th of
April, 1861, thus setting aside the decision of
the Second Comptroller, which was based on
the opinion of the Attorney General. The
law provides that colored volunteers shall be
placed on the same footing with white volun-
teers IN regard to pay, clothing and subsist-
ence, but not as to bounties.

South Carolina IcsjsIafUre.

COLUMBIA, Oct. PA message was re-
ceived from the Governor to-day transmitting
the report of the Commissioners appointed by
the State Convention to prepare system of
laws adapted to the new state of affairs.
The report embraces a bill regulating the
domestic relations of the slaves: a bill
preliminary to the legislation induced by the
emancipation of the slaves; a code for the
regulation of labor, and the protection and
government of the State. These were ordered
to be printed and will be considered to-mor-
row. Resolutions were adopted appointing a
committee to collect, under the oath, all evi-
dence of the unwarrantable seizure of cotton
and other private property since the war, to
be laid before the President of the United
States. The 10Th Of November has been fixed
for the election Of mem bers of Congress.

Georgia State COnventiOn-The Secession
Ordinance Rencalnd

AUGUSTA, GA, Oct. 27-In the Georgia
Convention to-day Mr.. Anderson, of Chatham,
offered a resolution that Committee of five be
appointed to memorabilia the President to re-
lease Jeff. Davis. Joshua Hill moved an indie
finite postponement which was voted down. A
motion to table was also voted down. The
resolution was then altered so as to include all
Federal prisoners and adopted by a heavy ma
jority. The ordinance repeating the ordinance
of Secession was then adopted.
The resolutions of the Secession Convcn-
ton, incompatible with the civil and military
laws and the authority of the United States,
were also repealed. An ordinance to re-dis-
trct the State was also adopted. 1t provides
for seven districts. A State election was or
dered on the 18th of November for Governor,
Congressman and Assemblymen. At the
afternoon session the Convention refused to
revive the State election ordinance by vote
of 233 to :

Secretary McCuliOch and the Contraction
of the Currency.

The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Post writes;
The Secretary of the Treasury finds already
that the return road to specie payments is a
hard one to travel. No sooner had he taken
the first step than he was surrounded by a
multitude of people beseeching him to aban-
don his plans and let the currency alone
There are some who denounce him, but the
majority Of the dissatisfied continue to ply
him with arguments and prayers. To one Of
them he said, day or two since, that under
no considerations would he change his plans,
but that he would push forward toward a re-
deemabe currency, steadily contracting the
amount.
Those persons who complain and object to
contraction will now turn their attention to
Congress. There are unmistakeable indica
tions that Congress will be importuned not
only to deny to the Secretary the authority to
continue his policy Of funding legal tenders,
but to extend the present limit of National
bank notes from three to five hundred mil
lions. There can be no doubt of Mr. McCul-
lochs tirmness, He will stand by his Fort
Wayne speech. The chairman Of the Senate
Committee of Finance is known to agree with
the Secretary. So does Mr.. Sherman, who is
second on the committee. Who will be chair
man of the Ways and Means is yet in doubt
If Mr.. Stevens goes back to his old place the
friends of initiation will have an important ad-
vantage over their opponents. 1t will be for
Cong. ess to see to it that no such men as Ste
vens are put in that important place.

The following decision of the Internal Revenue
Commissioner is published in the Georgia papers:
"WAsHINCToY, Oct IS, 1865.
''Sir: Your letter OF September Both has been re-
ceived, in which you inquire whether amnesty oaths,
taken heretofore, are liable to stamp duty In cases
where the same have been taken before military o-
cials well civil
You also ask whether, in case stamps are re-
quired, the parties holding the amnesty oaths can
atiiX the stamps and cancel the same
Il reply: That the certificate attached to such oaths
should in all cases be stamped, and the stamp can
ceed by the person administering the oath.
The provisions of section l5l act of 1861 relate to
such official instruments, documents and papers rs
are issued or used by the officers of the United States
government in the discharge Of their necessary duties
as such officers. And the exemption may be supposed
to have been made III such case because the stamp
duty would, if eXactcd, be charge upon the govern
mcnt.
But the administering of the amnesty oaths is n
matter only incidental to the holding of the mill
tary or civil office, and not necessarily IA part OF
its duties. The use of the certificate is only mat
ter which is of benefit only 20 the person TO whom the
oath is administered, and with which the gov
ernment has concern except to preserve a record
thereof Such certificate, therefore, cannot be
sdered official instrument, document, paper
entitled to exemption from the stamp duty by virtue
OF section l54 aforesaid.
" Iou will give to this decision whatever publicity
the interest of the Government of ndividuals
seem to require. Very respectfully,
WILLIAM ORTON, Commissioner.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Accident.

LANCASTER, Pa, October 27.-The coro-
ners jury, after a protracted investigation of
the railroad accident near this city on the
18th, have rendered verdict finding ''that
nine persons were killed in consequence of
the front truck of the car in which they were
seated giving way and breaking through the
floor, and that the cause of the truck giving
way is unknown to the jury" The bodies of
three unknown female victims of this accident
were identified yesterday as Mrs. Bean and
daughters of California. They were on their
way home from a visit to their friends in Ohio.
