WORK RESUMED.
WARRINGTON, June S.-Work was re-
sumed all over the city this morning, and
the striking laborers did not make their 10
pearance, 80 tar az heard from, In any street
Wnere The contract work was being prose
cutcd. The arrangements Of the police and
otner authorities were so efectual that had
any outbreak occurred it would have been
summariiy suppressed. unless again inter-
Tered With by the politicians. The strikers
seem to have organized themselves into
secret leagues, but what purpose thew have
In hand for carrying out their demands on
the contractors has not yet transpired.
The different colored labor organizations
sent delegates to meeting held at Union
League Hall this afternoon, and among
other things done was the passage of res
olution repudiating the bloodthirsty indl-
Viduals who have led them into their pre-.
sent troubles by incendiary harangues.
This step is looked upon as favorable
sign. They also adopted resolution for
The appointment of committee to memo
rlaliZe the Legislature for the passage of
a bill fixing two dollars per day of eight
hours as the compensation for labor
under the new Government, and three
dollars for horse, cart, aud driver. A CO.
lored man named Green made some sem

II not properly managed, might result to
their disadvantage for If they procured
the passage Of bill for increased nav, they
could not compel contractors to employ
colored men. Prior to adjournment reso-
llltions were adopted that they would con-
tlnuc to demand two dollars per day, and
that they would return to their districts,
organize protective unions, and do all they
could to prevent r,otous proceedings, and
inviting each district to elect three dele
gates to meet In future convention. There
were but six districts represented, and
among the delegates were two white men.
At Georgetown the situation remained
III Stdtu quo until about noon, when the
men went to work at the old price on the
consolidation companies wharves, about
the largest there. Orders had been issued
to send all the boats to Alexandria, where
the citizens and police promised to protect
the laborers who wished to work. There
are many coal-heaverS, however, who still
hold out, though the police and good citi-
zens generally urge them to 60 to work and
stop the trouble, which is regretted on all
sides.
GOLD NOTES.
The new gold notes to the amount OF
$4,000 will be ready for delivery to the
United States Treasurer on Monday next.
lney are very cIedltaDle to the Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing, and are printed
on the newly-patented paper with green
fibre, and interlaced throughout with the
letters u. S. in water mark. In the left
hand corner is rignette of MIR. Benton,
and in the right is medallion showing the
denomination. The words "gold" and
one hundred" are on the face Of the note
in large gold letters.
BANKING FACILITIES.
1t is evident there will lie no redistribu-
ton of national currency, as the year is
nearly up, and only about sixteen and 4
half millions out Of the fity-four have been
applied for. The States now having their
quota Of bank circulation will soon he able
TO increase them over thirty millions,
though it has been intimated at the Trea-
sury Department that the law cannot be
construed exactly that way.-Balhmore

The NEW LOAN.
The subscriptions to the new loan are
daily growing smaller. The new delega-
ton Of agents will leave on the 18th to
push negotiations abroad. a letter re-
coiyed to-day from Gen. Spinner states that
he is still in London, but has done nothing
vet with the loan,
