THE WORKING PEoPLR.-The strike of the
coal miners in the extreme west OF Pennsylva-
mia and in Ohio still continues. Up to April Isl;
the miners were paid eighty cents ton, and at
these rates, II is asserted, that a good average
workman could readily earn from 81 IS to 30 30
or even 81 day. The miners now ask one dol
lar a ton, with an increase OF ten cents per ton
in the wages paid for the dead work. in the
miDes-that is the hauling OF coal, transfer OF
cars, and other necessary operations. This rise
of thirty cents in the cost of mining a ton OF
coal, which, it is stated, could be submitted To
by the iron manufacturers, will, nevertheless
seriously embarrass the railroads, gas compa-
wholesale coal trade with Chicago and the north
west.

SHARP COMMENTS OF THE SECRETARY ON HI
ACCUsER.
The special committee of the House, appointed
to estgate the charges made in the New YORK
Sun against Secretary Robson, continued theil
examination of witnesses last evening:
James KRrphy, being sworn, testified TO his
never having furnished any information what
ever to the New York Sun in reference to thu
Roche contracts, nor did he ever say that the old
machinery of the Tennessee was worth SiO0, 900
as has been stated of him.
M. Donald Mckay testified TO his belief that
Roche in undertaking to refit ali the machinery
and engines in the navy which are embraced IL
his contract, had undertaken a great enterprise
witness would not undertake to build the Ten
nessee engines at the prices named in the con-
tracts.
JotN Roche, being then recalled, stated that il
would cost the sum of Si25 coo to put the engine
IN the Washington navy yard in the Tennessee
there would be required ten boilers, aud they
alone would cost S225 900 to build; the vessels
which witness engaged himself TO repair were
simply intended to run down blockade-runners
they were not fitted for fighting purposes, MOI
having been originally intended fer vessels OF
war.
This ended the testimony for the evening
Some discussion then arose between the mem
beTs of the committee as to the propriety o.
summoning ex-Secretary Welles before the com
mittee. MIR. Robson insisted upon his right b.
have him called, as Mr.. Welles knew some thing
of the Secor claims, and il was but Justice e.
him Mr.. Robeson) to have all the light shed
upon the matter possible. He had been ARA gned
before an investigating committee as criminal.
Nothing had been proved against him. There
may be some question of the construction OF til.
law, of which he was the constituted Judge. A
charge had been made against him more out
rageOus than had ever been made against any
other public officer and private citizen, and
made not only to the committee, but TO the pub
lie. The accuser has been allowed the wides
range, far on the verge of propriety, but he wa,
glad he had had it, He had proved not a singh
thing against him. Men out of prison to-nigh
by his (the speaker's) forbearance had been
allowed to send for witnesses. Yes, master anr
man were free by his forbearance, because IA,
hesitated whether the public good required him
TO dirty his fingers with such filth.
Mr.. Archer desired to have ex-Secretary
Welles present, wishing to ask him several ques-
tons about the settlement Of the SecOr claims.
After a brief conversation. Mr.. Archer said he
would telegraph tonight t. Mr.. Welles and get
an answer, and would see ne acting chairman,
Mr.. Sargent, tomorrow, nd tell him whether
he wanted the sergeant-at arms to 60 after Mr..
Welles.
The committee then adjourned till Friday
night.

ministers as well as laymen; but it was impossi
BILE to administer the Government without poll
ticians, and this should be no reprOach to them
The coming campaign was not so much be
tween the republican and democratic par
tics as between the republicans themselves.
Mr.. Beecher spoke highly of Sumner, Schurz
and Trumbuli, and said if at Cincinnati they
can make certain great features of policy clearer
If they can bring out into strong ight certain in
pendiLg necessities, you and and every man
will go with them, AID we say in advance, az
you can raise up moral power there so acting
upon the convention OF Philadelphia that il sh ali
lift its platform higher than it would have been
without your action, we will hail your admins

party at length. While he thought the admin
istTation had been guilty of some Shortcomings
and mistakes, he claimed that on the whole
Grant was the best man in the party to OCCUPY
the White House. The speaker was loudly ap-
plauped.

Sensible Talk 10 the Canadians.

ToRoNTo, April I1-Hon. WIN. McDOugald,
addressed his constituents last night. He con
demned the scheme for a Pacific railway now
being carried out by the Canadian government
as involving enormous expenditures, and said il
was better to have relied more on water comma
nicatiOn and American railways. lie next re-
terTed TO the treaty OF Washington. Ii was just
possible that Great Britain and the United
States might continue to differ about the con-
structon of the treaty, in which case Canada
would not be called upon TO take any action
with regard TO il; but recent Information seemed
TO indicate the differences would be settled; and
therefore, the matter would come before our
Parliament. Ii would be a fatal mistake for
our Parliament 10 refuse to confirm treaty TO
which the head of the government had attached
and parcel of the British empire we must sub
NIT TO the consequences OF that position, and
must be ready TO DC our part towards carrying
out arrangements that may have been en-
tered into between the mother country and
foreign countries. We cannot remain
part Of the empire and act as an in
dependent nation. We must be willing to ALLOW
the Imperial government in its dealings witt
the United States or other foreign countries. GO
make such bargains as thew, in wisdom and in
accordance with the public opinion OF the
Empire may find necessary, and we must ac-
quiesce like good subjects, and put up with the
consequences.
Mr.. McDougall was quite ready to discuss the
propriety of a political change, il it was found
that our position was an embarrassment TO our
selves and to the mother country. He was quite
prepared TO consider what was the best. wisest.
and safest course for us to take. But in Par
Lament they could not discuss this question.
