STRIKE AMONGST THE WHARF EM-


STRIKE AMONGST THE WHARF Em-
PLoYREs-.I INTENSE EXCITEMENT
Yesterday, for the third time, q
strike took place amongst the
colored men in the employ of the
stevedores of this city. BY O'Clock
in the morning they commenced to
assemble in large numbers at the
corners of the Bay and those streets
which lead down to. the principal
docks, and a half hour. later the evil
dences of well concocted scheme
for the interruption of legitimate
labor began to crop out. AS soon as
the usual hour for the commencement
of their duties arrived, the negroes
generally announced their, determina-
tion not to work unless their wages
were advanced from two to three dol
lars per diem. ALI remonstranoe, on
the part of their employers proved
fruitless, save with q few, and these
were Immediately assaulted by the
strikers" and borne forcibly away
from the scene of their lahors.
When it was discovered that trou-
BILE was likely to ensue, Capt. Stew
art, of the winthrop" and others
reported the facts to Mayor Burns,
who Immediately took steps to pre-
vent further difficulty by sending q
temporary guard detailed from the
city police down to Atlantic wharf,
and subsequently applied for and
obtained. o detachment of soldiers
from the Citadel, who were sent from
the City Hall. ~s -..
In the meanwhile, the negroes,
excited by the circumstances, focked
around the "Winthrop,' and used
threats not only to those who had
declined to cooperate with the
Strikers" but to the officers of the
ship. So far did they persist in their
riotous demonstrations, that Captain
Stewart was compelled to announce
his determination to retort with force
unless they dispersed. To this the
ring-leader, Harrison Carriere, re-
piled with the most violent and bias
phemous abuse, and was finally taken
into custody by the police and car
ried to the guard house. His place
was promptly supplied, however, by
John Thomas, who continued to
arouse the mob to violence, when,
fortunately, Mayor Burns appeared
on the scene and ordered him also
under arrest. He was seized by the
guard, but before they could take
him from the dock, the crowd rushed
forward and made an attempt to
rescue him. Mayor Burns person
ally interviewed, and pTooiaiIning mis-
authority, succeeded in arresting the
mob and having the prisoner con-
veyed to the guard house.
The exhibition of this summary
way of dealing with offenders against
the peace by his Honor the Mayor
had a very salutary effect, and by
3 o'clock in the afternoon the excite
ment had completely subsidized, and
the STRIKERS" gone peaceably to
work, without pressing their unrea-
sonnble demands.

The CONCERT LAST NIGHT. As was
to have been expected, Gregg's Hall
was filled last night, and to- say that
the audience was highly gratified, is
but faint praise to the participants in
the concert. The overture to "Na-
bucodonosor" was loudly applauded,
and the Cavatina from "Ernani"
rendered in truly artistic style. The
vocal powers of Messrs. N. Stevens
and d. Hemphill were also fully ap-
preciated. Mr.. Joseph H. Denck
was unapproachable on his favorite
instrument. Mr.. J. Courtenay was
in excellent voice, and being encored,
was forced to give the ''Farewen to
my Mountain Home" from Trova-
torie, and another favorite song.

which has crowned her endeavors.

DR.. SMYTH:
Sir Il have been afflicted with She Catarrh
for about thirty years. For the last fifteen
years have had it lin its worst forms. At times
so stopping the nostrilS that with the greatest
difficulty l. could breo he For number Of
years have not beel able to lie upon my back,
as in that position the dropping of matter from
my head into my throat would almost instantly
produce stranguating. Very frequently my
eyes and nose and lips have been swollen as If
pressed with some infammabIe disease. Dur
ing these years, especial in the last ten years
my sight has been 7ery much impaired by the
influence of this offensive disease.
My throat and Bronchial tubes have usually
been infamed and exceedingly sore, and have
resulted in hoarseness and such a weakness Of
The vocal organs as for a time to deprive me OF
the privilege of speech.
Not unfrequently extreme dizziness Of the
head, while sitting or walking, or in-bed AZ
night, and often in the pulpit has apparently
given sue b. a staggering or wheeling Of the
head that it, has seemed for a moment tlatL
was losing the use OF all my mental powers,
and was about to fall into some unfathomable
abyss from which [ could not return. III
Neuralgia in the pupil Of the eye and under
the curved bones Of the nostrils and in the
frontal cavities has for many years caused the
severest pains, often rushing with the rapidly
of thought in paroxyisns of acutest pains
through the entire head and face and teeth and
down the cords Of the neck to the shoulders
and sides. These aims have at times been al.
most uncomfortable.
In your new method of administering rem
edies, | think you have reached the catarrh at
It's starting point; have ceansed the cavities
from which inflammation has passed through the
throat and bronchial tubes to the lungs Hav-
ing been under your treatment for the last five
weeks am happy to say that the dropping
from my head to my throat in the last two
weeks has ceased. The soreness and hoarse-
ness of the throat has ceased, together with
the neuralgia pains of head, faces eyes and
neck, have in. great measure subsidized. And
in the meantime | think have unmistakable
evidence that uuder yonr treatment am in o
positive process toward permanent cure
which will soon be secured.
Yours truly, Pc. PETTIB0NE.

DIXON AND PAINE.

The election for Chief Justice and AS
sociate Justice Of the Supreme Court oc
ours on Tuesday next, April 7th. Luther
S. Dixon and Byron Paine have been
placed ii nomination by the Republican
party, both able and tried men, and well
qualified by experience on the bench, to
discharge faithfully the duties of the po-
sitions. An honest and impartial judiciary
is one Of the greatest boons of Repubi-
can institutions. Judges Dixon and
Paine de not represent partizau judic-
larry, for it must be admitted that party
considerations had very little to do with
their nominations. This cannot be said
Of the opposing candidates. The Demo
Gratis are using strenuous exertlons to elect
Messrs. Dunn and Ellis, with the fervent
hope that should these gentlemen reach
the bench, the negro suffrage law viii be
set aside and declared unconstitutional.
We presume that no Democrat will deny
that his candidates are already pledged
to decide against the law giving the ne
groes the right to vote in this State. This
is their whole object and they are work
ing for no other purpose. Are the Re-
publicans prepared to defeat these plans :?
Let no Republican deceive himself with
the idea that victory is secure. Dixon
and Paine con only be elected by q full
Republican cote A few voters absenting
themselves here and there throughout the
State is only necessary to defeat Us. We
need not state how much to be deplored
a democratic victory would be at this
time. Happening at this particular juno
ture Of affairs, it might well be consider
ed a national calamity, The success of
the democracy on Tuesday next would be
heralded abroad as an endorsement Of the
Rebel at the White House, and his posi-
ton against Congress, and would be taken
as an expression against his impeachment.
And the bearing victory for the opposi
ton would have in the coming presi-
Dental election ought to spur every Re
publican to his duty. The ground lost on
Tuesday next, by carelessness and indif-
ference, would be sure to carry dismay
into our ranks throughout the entire
country, and perhaps prove the cause of our
total overthrow next November With
50 much depending on the success Of our
ticket, will any Republican be found
sleeping on his post en Tuesday next !?
Let each and every Republican resolve to
do his whole duty, and do it, and be not
unmindful Of the fact that our success
can only be achieved by using the most
strenuous exertions and getting out the
full Repu6licaa cote, xxx. 49,.
