AFFRAY.-A street difficulty occurred yes-
terday morning, between Col. r. j. Robin
son and Mr.. John Myers, which resulted in
the slight woundins of the orl&Rxith q
knife, and tho latter in the arm from pis-
tol shot. We have not learned the cause
OF the difficulty
REDUCTION OF FRrIGHT on CorroN.-By
an advertisement IN another column it will
be seen that the South Carolina Railroad
has reduced it, rates Of freight on cotton
to New York to six dollars per bale. Ship
monts may be made to Ravenel 4 Co, or

THE NORTHERN MA1Ls-When the new
fast schedule on the Charlotte Kailread
went into operation, we anticipated some
ten hours earlier arrival of our Northern
exchanges, but tho fact is otherwise. For
| instance, on yesterday morning, we re-
ceived (the only New York paper we did
receive.) the Herald, Of Sunday morning,
and the Richmond papers, OF Tuesday
morning. Under the old running arrange
ment, We would havc received these papers
on the evening before. There must be
some screw loose i'll making the through
connections. We notice, moreover, from
our Augusta exchanges, that the New York
papers, of Saturday, were recciv :. in that
city (by the Wilmington and Manchester
route, We presume } on Monday afternoon,
while they were not received here until
Wednesday, morning. Again we ask, what
is the matter?

Judge Ne.aon,s peo,.ion.

The decision of Judge Nelson, iii
the case Of james Eagan, of Lexing-
ton District, and whose order for
the discharge Of the prisoner We
published last Saturday, is regarded
throughout the country with great
favor and commentator. The Pre-
sident's order directing That no more
civilians should be tried by military
commissions, was effective so long as
that order was not suspended or eoun-
termanded, but thislecisien of one of
the ablest Judges OF the Supreme
Court puts the matter beyond all
cavil 1t is stated that Judge Nelson
had just come fresh from conference
with his brethren of the Supreme
Bench, and, therefore, the decision
is Indicative of the opinion of TINT
august tribunal The President has
now the Judiciary ranged with him
in his support on this question, and
it is evident that if Mr.. Eagan has
been released on constitutional
grounds, it follows that all civilian
! isoners, for, civil offences, sentenced
by commissions, aud who are now
suffering the sentences of the courts,
are also entitled to be discharged.

NH. HoWAKD,N sPEECH.

Senator Howard, OF Michigan, In his recent
speech on Reconstruction, told pretty nearly
the whole truth about the Presidents policy.
He stated that the President, in assuming to
rrorgunizc the States without the legislative
authority Of Congress. was acting without
Law, aud that In eooly ignoring the power Of
Congress over the status OF seeded States,
aud in denying to Congress any other power
than that Of deci ding upon the qualifications
ofits members, he was guilty Of usnrpation.
Mr.. Howard also plainly expressed the
opinion that any attempt by the President to
recognize rebel Congress would
lead to his removal, and that the
North would fight rather than sub
nit to such revolution These
are sound sentiments. We only regret
that thus far Congress has not acted upon
them, by going To the root Of the reconstruc-
tiou difficulty, the denial by Johnsou's proc
clamatioDs Of the right of suffrage to loyal
men, and 50 1eorganizing every seeded State
government as to rectify the error Congress,
as body, has declined to exercise the powers
they have orer the reconstruction question.
Al least hundred members Of Congress pro-
fess to be In favor Of an extension OF the SUI
hagc- Not one of them has voted to exer-
else tue power which they all believe they
possess. Tho excuse Is fear that the peo-
pie are not prepared for 1t. We tell them the
people arc not prepared for any plan of recon-
sttuc1ion in which It does not exist, and they
never will be.

Thirty men Driven from thotF Work.
From thu Ne,s York He:4ld. Ha5 1a}
No arrangement has Yet been effected be-
tween the employers aud their late employees
IN the ahip building interest. It Is now over
i've weeks since the thip caulkess, joiners and
ard in the meantime all labor heretofore per
formed BY them Is nj stand-stiil. Tne strike
Is not for an increase Of wages, but because
the employers refuse to concede the point that
eight hours shall constitute a days WORK
Ship mechanics, Of oil kinds, arc better paid
than almost any other class tn New York
Those now on the atrike have been receiving
four dollars per day for new work, aud four
dollars and fry cents per day for old wo1k-
distinction being made between repairs
made to vessels md work done in the ship
yards. Their labor throughout the year does
not average over nine hours per aay-tcn full
hours in summer. md during daylight tn win
out of employment, either being strikers OF
so identified with shipbuilding as to
be unable to work when the Others do not.
Each branch Of the trade has It's Trade Union,
and to accomplish their purpose In this in.
stance they hare become unanimous Ia their
demand for the eiehthonr system. Many Of
them have families dependent 2upon their
daily labor for their subsistence, and having
been five weeks without work OF pay, have
been driven to the last e1tremltfes to supply
their families with the necessarics Of life.
The paWu-shops are overrnn with articles
pledged by these mechanics to obtain the
means to purchase bread. Hundreds Of them
arc anxious to work under the present sys-
ten, but the societies Bay no, and they are
d.asooned into continuing In the ranks OF the
strikers. Yesterday morning thirty Of the
best mechanics among the strikers went
to work IN the yard ot MIR, Jeremiah
Simonson, Mt the foot Of Twelfth street,
determined to support their families in
spite oi all opposition. They had been at
work but short time when mob Of three
hundred strikers entered the yard, and forci-
bly, drove out the industrious mechanics.
Two of the thirty who Were at work Wcrr
severely, If not fatally, beaten, and all OF
them more or less injured. The mob was
composed almost exclusively of foreigners
principally Irfshmen. Mr. Simmons Las q
1nrcc amount Of unfinished work upon his
hands, Is anxious to employ men, and there
nrc plenty OF men equally anxious to be eul-
ploycd, bnt the Trades Unions willnot permit
a nail to be driven or stroke to bu made.
The same is true Of all the other shlp-yards
unfinished work, amounting In tho agsgre-
gate to millions Of dollars, awaiting for the
ship mechanics to return to their duty. Work
Is being driven away from the city to other
seaports, where 1t can be done Without delay.
The employers ate organized to resist the
strike, and soy they Will do SO II It takes
year. There can be no doubt Of the result
CAPITAL will triumph over the unreasonable
demands Of labor. The strikers hold a mass
meeting this evening nt Clinton Hall.
