FATAL PoIsoNfNG-CoLoRsD LYHcHzRs.-.A About
two weeks since near Craigsville in this count
colored man named VIM. Lewis died suddenly,
under circumstances clearly indicating that he
had been poisoned. His colored friends held a
consultation, and decided that john Kelley a
colored man was the poisoner. After an excited
argument it was determined to hang him, and a
rope was procured and the party repaired to
Kelleys house and captured him. The infuriated
blacks were about to hang the poisoner on the
spot but the pleadings of some Of his friends in
duced them to take him before a magistrate
Squire Ferguson who appointed Jacob Hoe
colored, special constable to bring the prisoner
to Staunton to Jail. The party took the train
with the prisoner, who, when it arrived at Sum-
nit Station leaped ont and has not been heard
from since. 1t is probable from the excitement
among the colorod people in that section Of the
county, that it they recapture Kelley he may be
deprived of another judicial hearing.

TIE cosr OF a STRIKE.

It is not often that those who engage in
a strike count the cost beforehand. They
rush precipitately into the affair and leave
results to take care of themselves. 1t is
stated that about sixty thousand men were
engaged in the New York strike, represent,
ing thirty different trades. The loss dur
ing the cessation of labor has been carefully
estimated, and found to be not far from
two million dollars to the employers, and
one million six hundred thousand t. the
workingmen. The New York Commercial
says that careful inquiry concerning the ef-
feet of The strike reveals unpleasant facts.
The increased cost of production has driven
business away from New York and Brook
Ign; the erection of new buildings has been
deferred; steamboat contracts have been
broken; and the prices of clothing, and of
many of the articles in daily use, have been
advanced, and all these things have hap
pened since the middle Of May. A year of
such work would ruin all the trades.

The Grant cliques in Pennsylvania, the
hencbmen of Cameron and Forney,
are fighting among themselves, and each is
declaring that the other will lose the State
not only in the election in October for
State officers, but the Presidential election
in November. Grant is in a dilemma
which faction to sustain, whether Came
ron's ring or Forney's select band Of patri-
OTIS. The two great contestants are engag-
ed in war to the knife. Cameron, the
cor1updonist, demands that the President
shall remove Forney's friends from Office,
because Forney denounces the Republican
state ticket. In this emergency poor Grant
does not know what to do. He dare not
incur the displeasure of either of the great
chiefs, and yet be viii be compelled to act,
as both sides refuse all compromises. It is
said there are thirty Republican papers in
Pennsylvania which oppose Hartranft ard
the ticket; and Forney, whose paper-the
PyeSs--is one of the number, proclaims that
to lose the State in October-and he de-
clares it will be lost-is to defeat Grant in
November. In the meantime, the Demo
Gratis, with whom the Liberal Republicans
are cooperating, feel strong confidence in
their ability to carry the State triumphantly.
all things are working for their benefit.
Their ticket is the ahlest and the strongest
tia. could have been made, and it will win.
The Philadelphia Herald reports the stu
alton as follows:
sNeYer since it has had an existence has
the Republican party been so completely
torn and discovered. The cohesive power
by which it for twelve years was held to-
gether has been broken. There is no ma
terial object sought by the leaders. Each
appears to be travelling on his own respon-
sibility. Every one appears to be battling
for the advancement of his own particular
schemes. 1t is, in truth, Republican free
fight, in which the motto on each banner is,
"Every man for himself" The Radicals
would strike blow at Greeley could they
throw off the defensive, but this they cannot
do. Their opponents keep them so busily
engaged in warding off the tErusts that are
made at them from all sides that the best
they can do is to save themselves from being
placed h0rS de combat at once.
"What folly, then, for the administration
to hope to carry Pennsylvania either in Dc
tober or November. As well attempt to
convince the people that Graat would not
accept gift should one be rendered, or ap-
point relative to Office were it possible for
him to find forty-second cousin anywhere
who had not already been provided for.
Pennsylvania is as irretrievably lost to the
administration as are the characteristics of
honesty to the party that supports it. The
fact has gone forth and cannot be recalled.
Corruption has done its deadly work. 1t
has wrought out its legitimate consequences.
PennsylvaDia is opposed to Grant, and
Pennsylvania will refuse to have the rene
gade Hartranft for her next Governor just
as certainly as that an election is held in
October, and the people are permitted a
fair expression of their political senti-
ments."

AT meeting Of the employees Of one Of
the sewing machine companies in New
York few days ago, it was stated by one
of them that ''the stockholders compelled
the operatives to vote for Lincoln and Grant
at the last Presidential elections, and were
going to try the same little game to secure
votes for Grant this year." This course is
pursued in number of large manufactur-
ing establishments in the North, but no one
has ever heard ofthe managers or propre-
tors of these establishments being arrested
by a United States Marshal and brought TO
trial for a violation Of the enforcement ct.
But Southern Democrat cannot even at
tempt TO persuade negro to vote the Dem
ocratic ticket without putting his personal
liberty in imminent peril.

VULGARITY In DRESS.

The New York correspondent of the St.
Louis Republican recites an incident seen
by him on Broadway few days since, as
follows:
"A sweet young thing tripped down the
street before me SSturday-a lavender silk
profusely frilled, and something more than
the regulation stick out behind. L had my
eagle off-eye and my iynx-like nigh on this
palpitating bumper, when an unusual de-
preston occurred; convulsive action took
place few feet below. On swept the COL
Iapsed lady, and she left behind three
Herdlds, one Sun, a fragment of paper
muslin, and the Christian Observer (not
me, by any means, but the paper, Observer
and Watcamdyl), all hung carelessly over an
old black shoe string" rr.

In addition TO the Grant ratification
meeting in Boston being lamentable fail
ure so far as numbers were concerned, it
was not very encouraging to the great pre-
sent-taker in another aspect. The Boston
Transcript, Grant paper, in noticing the
occurrence, remarks: "The meeting took a
curious bent near its close, being adroitly
changed into gathering for the endorse
ment of somewhat noted local politician.
The way the speaker 1ourished the whip
must have besn exceedingly amusing to the
Greeley men, if there were any present, for
it was especially dangerous to the adher-
ents of the Presidential candidate in whose
behalf the meeting was called" The local
politician referred to is Gen. Butler, who
was said by Grant to have been bottled up
on a certain memorable occasion, when he
should have been wide awake and doing
effective service. Butler viii probably have
chance to get even with Grant on that
score, and he will hardly fail to do SO.
