LOCAL MATTERS.

STRIKE OF CoLoRED LABoRERs.--On satur-
day morning the truckmen, twenty-one in
number. employed in the freight sheds OF
the Richmond aud Dauville Railroad Com
pany'S depot, suddenly struck for higher
wages. They We're all colored men, and some
had been employed by this company for a
good many years. Since 1866 they have
been receiving one dollar day and ten cents
an hour extra for night work. OF late the
average wages has been one dollar and sixty
cents day. With threat, they demanded
more. The demand was refused, and they
then left the yard, saying that it would be
"a long time before them cars are loaded
But their predictions proved groundless, for
in less than two hours Colonel Morrow, the
superintendent, had supplied the places OF
the strikers with hands, who, if they lacked
experience, were willing aud capable. The
inconvenience was trifling, and neither the
railroad nor It's patrons will lose by the
strike.

ANOTHER HEAVY JOB CoarLETED.-Tht
passenger train passed over the main line OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad near Mill
Doio' for the first time Saturday morning
Travellers to the White Sulphur will re-
member the heavy grade Immediately west
of Milboro' station. This wasa temporary e,
track. built i'll 1857, to avoid the heavy work
on the main line. 1t has been worked sue
cessfuly, and without loss to life or limb. for
lineen years. the grade being 30S feet per
mile, and tic minimum radius 400 feet. On
the main line there were two unfinished en-
banknents, one 100 and another 96 feet in
depth, with 4 short tunnel and some heavy
cutting in addition. This work, estimated
ut $4,000 cubic yards, was let in the spring
Of 1870 to Mason & Gooch, contractors, to
be completed May lst, 1872, and was COM
pleted on the very day. Mr.. S. D. Gooch has
had the management of the work, and may
be Justly proud of his succcss.
Tack-laying west of the White Sulphur
will be commenced next week, and the gra-
.duation westward is in so forward condi'
ton that at the usual rate of progress no de.
lay is anticipated between the White Sulphur
and the mouth of New river, to which point
the track is laid from the west.

Latest News from Washington.
Congressional.


WASHINGTON, May 4.-Sendte.-Mr. Sum-
ner called up his bill for mixed schools.
which, meeting with objections, he threat
cned to object to every bill until his was dis
posed OF. He then moved to take up the
bill which was agreed to-yeas, 25 noes, II.
Mr. Bayard, who was entitled to the floor
on the bill, said 1t was an utterly unnecessary
measure, and uncalled for. The people chiefly
to be affected by it are opposed to it. CHARITY
does not demand it. Justice either to the
black or the white does not demand il. Jtis
rs unjust as it is uncalled for; as unwise and
as cruel as uncaled for It Is mere net OF
visionary zeal. He (AIr. Bayard) would show
by the school laws of this District that now
tne most ample and generous provisions
were. made for the education of the colored
people OF the District, and chiefly at the.ex.
pense OF the White people. He believed that
tue mixture OF the two races would be
ifaugnt with great evil to the weaker race,
ana tfat 1t would be most injurious to
society: There is not O white parent
IN tns District whose children attend the
common schools, who have asked for this
Dlil. There Is not n senator on the floor OF
tne Senate who will vote for this bill whose
chlldren or grandchildren will ever 90 to
chese schools to mix with the negro chill
dren; but they will vote to force this asso-
catlon upon the children of parents who are
compelled to send their children to the COM
mon schools. What kind of philanthropy Is
this! The white people of this District are
compelled to contribute most uneuually to
the support of the colorcd schools, and now
1t is proposed to take from them the Door
privilege of doing as they please with the
rest of their money.
Mr.. Ferry, Of Connecticut, gave notice of
an amendment providing that before the act
goes into effect it shall be submitted for rati-
fication to the qualified voters of the cities OF
Washington and Georgetown, at an election
on the first Monday in July, 1872. The bill
then went over. =.
The Post-oftice appropriation occupied the
balance Of the day.
House.-No business of importance was
transacted, the day being occupied in debate
Executive and Legislative Conference
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The President, Sec
retary OF State, and the Committees of For
cign Affairs of the House and Senate, had
conference to-day. The President, whel
directly approached, said he did not think
proper to communicate the object or the re
suit of the conference. The other partie
are equally reticent.
From loose conversations the following
may he regarded rs a close approximation G
the cause of the meeting: Minister Schenc
has notified his Government that England
under no circumstances, will pelmit the ques
ton of consequential damages to be presented
at the Geneva arbitration.
1t is noticed that the Democratic mem Der
of the two committees were not invited to th
conference. Those who were present hav
their mouths closed. A back-down on th
part of the Administration is probable ant
nearly certain.

PARK IMPROVEMENTS PRoPosED.-The pro
perty-owners in the vicinity Of Monroe Park
will present to the Council this afternoon 0
petition for an appropriation of $4,000 to-
wards the improvement of the park. They
propose to expend this amount in paving the
avenues and the Franklin-strect sidewalk, in
rcsctting the fence, and in laying gas-pipe
through the grounds and erecting lamp-posts.
In support of the application, it is urged that
what has now been spent on the park has
already proved a profitable investment for
the city, and that $1,000 more might be jl'-
tiiciously invested in the same manner.

a foot in 1867 IL now commanding prices
ranging from $50 to s75, and holders are not

PARIS, May 4.--Advtces have been re-
ceived here from Spain which contradict
most positively the dispatches which were
sent from Madrid In regard to the Carlist in
s,rrection. LUni0n announces on what it
terms official authority that Don Carlos is in
Spain at the head of his volunteers, and that
Don Aphonso his brother, is with him. The
proclamation signed by him, which was cir
culating in Madrid, was genuine. There is
deep uncasiness in Madrid.
