Threatening Phase Of the Great Strike
Fears of Impending ViOIence-Is 1t
the NKOrLE of the InfRrnafinnaI2

NEW YORK, June 6-There is considerable ex-
citement in the city to-day relative to the strikes
and it is feared collisions between the men at
work and the strikers will occur. A carpenter
named BrOwnen was shot in the head this morn
ing while working on Thirty y-ninth street by
striker, who was arrested. A gang of strikers
threatened to drive the workers from the new
Masonic Temple on Twenty-third st,eet this
morning but the police drove them away.
The police were compelled to interfere to pro-
tect wOrkingmen to-day from strikers at a new
building corner Hester street and the BOWery,
corner 11th street and Third avenue and en- 18th
street and Sevent avenue.
Threats were also made against the wOrkmCn
on public sewer at 10th street, but those atwoTk
say they will kill any one interfering with them.
The rock-blasters who struck work on the pub
lie sewer at east SD street threaten to destroy
the steam drill and drive of the men at work
with it.
The coach painters are also threatening men
at work in the factories and it is feared striking
wOrkmen will attack the gas works. All the Off
platoOns Of police are kept at the statlon-houses
ready Tor service, and the officers Of the force
believe there viii be considerable trouble within
a day or two.
Y; Weinberg, striking cabinet-maker, was
held to bail in 81 900 to-day for threatening to
burn Kehr's cabinet factory, because the work
men there had not struck.
At a meeting at the Germania Assembly rooms
to-day, threats were made by the strikers against
Steinways's piano factory.
At a meeting Of the Board of Police yesterday
communication was received from the Eight
hour League, stating that the members intend
to parade on the 10th inst, and asking for pO-
lice escort If carried out, over 10000 working
men will parade, as this number have struck
since the first of June. OF this number some
$4,000 to 10000 remain idle, and viii probably
remain so as long as their savings hold out unless
bosses eoRcede their demands.
Some apprehensiOns are felt lest they resort to
mob violence, which would result in summary
repression by the authorities who are fully pre-
pared for emeT ssncies.

discharged to-day on charge OF assaulting Off

Chandler Attempts to Defend Stanton
Sumner Gives Grant Another Stab.
SENATE.

SENATE.
| WASHINGTON, June 6.-Mr. Chandler
| said he desired a few moments indulgence
for the purpose of vindicating the memory
| of the late Secretary Stanton from the slam
| derous attack which had been made against
4 it. he had read sttndry extracts from the
| speech of Mr.. Stanton, delivered At Steuben-
vile, Ohio, during the,last Presidential cam
| paign. Gen. Grant, at the funeral Of
Stanton, told him to put his name
down for one thousand dollars in aid Of
S alton's destitute family, and the infu-
ence of that name and amount at the head
Of the list enabled Stanton's friends TO raise
the sum of one hundred and forty
thousand dollars, which is now in
vested for the benefit OF Stanton's family.
Gen. Grant has been taken severely TO task
for being great present-taker. he Is a
great taker. He took DonelsoR, Shiloh,
Vieksburg, The Wilderness, MarfreesbOTo,
Appomattox and all the rebel materials at
those points, and he took the shackles Of
slavery from four millions of slaves. After
all these achievements he took small dona-
tions voluntarily offered by some of his
friends, in order to take himself out of
poverty.
Sumner said he would read one single
letter to show the truth of what be had
said in his reference to Stsnton's opinion
of Grant. Before reading #, however, he
would declare that Stanton did say to him
what he had reported. He asserted on this
floor that this was so. Sumner here read
the following extract from a note received
this morning from Horace White Of Chi
cago:
I'D ar Mr.. Sumner-The late Secretary
Stanton, not once merely, but several times,
expressed himself to me substantially the
same opinion of Gen. Grant that he did to
yOu, with the addition that Gen. Grant had
been greatly overrated as a military COM
mander. As to the latter point, recall
long conversation with him after the fight
ing at Spottsylvania Courthouse, in which
he (Stant0n) expressed more apprehension
of the results of the campaign than l had
ever known him to feel concerning any
He felt thal he could not con-
tinue to fill up the awful gaps made by Lee
in our ranks without a further call on the
loyal States for troops. But l suppose you
know all about that. During a portion Of
this conversation he kept Mr.. Chandler
Cooling His Heels.
in the ante-room in order to finish what |
he had to say to me, mere Bohemian, al |
though I twice suggested that it would be
indecorous for me to remain while Sena- |
tor desired an audience"
Mr.. Cole called up the fortifcation appro-
priation bill. Passed.
Mr.. Chandler called up the river and |
harbOr appropriation bill.
Chandler got into a snarl over an amend |
ment, was ruled out of order, appealed |
from the chair, and was oVerruled.
Among amendments Of which were
agreed to was one for the survey of canal
from the Tennessee to COOsa river, Ala.
The bill was then reported to the Senate
and passed.
Mr.. Stockton called up Senate bill to au-
thorize inquiries into the causes of steam
boiler explosions, which was passed.

Another Phase of our Spanish Muddle
Curses Coming Home to Roost.

NEW YORK, June 6.-WashiDgton spe
cials say the Spanish Government, profit
ing by the example set by the British Gov
in regard to the indirect claims, has noti-
fed its Minister here that the only eondi-
ton upon which DR.. Howard can be i'm
mediately released is that the United States
ask for it as a favor, and not on the ground
that he is an American citizen. If the
United states, however, should persist in
declaring that DR.. Howard is an American
citizen, the Spanish Government will be
compelled to enter into an investigation to
disprove that claim, and meanwhile retain
DR.. Howard as a prisoner. A member of
the Committee on Foreign Affairs states
that this is the first fruits of our new Span
ish policy.

Great cheers long and prolonged.

[Great cheers long and prolonged
Woodfood, of New Y York, said the home
of the distinguished editor who was nom-
mated at Cincinnati asks you to pause be-
fore you make the nomination which is an
election, until she can second the nomina-
ton. Four years ago she sustained Grant
because she recognized her obligation of
gratitude to him. To-day she endorsed
him because he had been tried and found
true. He referred to Summers citation of
Stanton against Grant, for the purpose of
showing that Stanton and Lincoln both
knew Grant, thoroughly, aud trusted
him utterly, not only to crush out the re-
bellion in his own silent way, but also to
negotiate the great rebel surrender and its
terms. From his grave the dead Stanton
rebukes the living Sumner. TCheers. I

The Mormon MuddIe.
The Gentle delegations from Utah who
were admitted to seats in the convention
to-day instead of the Mormon delegates,
sustained their application in strong pa
per presented to the convention, which con-
cludes as follows:
We cannot see how the National Repub-
lican Convention could recognize polygamy
by the admission to seats of Smith & Fuller,
without self qualification, without placing a
premium on disloyalty and quasi rebellion,
without doing great injustice to the loyal
people of Utah and outraging the sense OF
decency as well as the true Republicans of
the entire nation without distinction as to
party.

The Platform.

The Republican party of the United States as
sembled in National Convention, in the city of
Philadelphia, on the fifth and sixth days of June.
1872 again declares its faith, appeals to its histO-
ry and announces its position upon tine questions
before the country.
l. During itJ eleven years OF supremacy, it has
accepted with grand courage the solemn duties
of the times. 1t suppressed a gigantic rebellion,
emancipated four millions of slaves decreed the
equal citizenship of all, and established univer-
sal suffrage. Exhibiting unparalleled magma
nimity, it criminaly punished no man for pOliti-
cal offences, and welcomed all who proved
their loyalty by Obeying the laws and dealing
justly with their neighbors. It has steadily de-
creased, with firm hand, the resultant dsOr-
ders of the great war, and initiated wise policy
toward the Indians. The Pacific Railroad and
similar vast enterprises have been generously
aided and successfully conducted. The public
lands are freely given to actual settlers. 1mmi-
grafton is protected and encouraged and a full
acknowledgment of natuTalized citizens rights
secured from European powers. A uniform ma
tlonal currency has been provided, reputation
troWned down, the national credit sustained un-
der the most extraordinary burdens, and new
bonds negotiated at lower rates. The rev
enues have been carefully collected and
honestly applied. Despite annual large reduc-
tons in the rates of taxation the public debt has
been reduced during Gen. Grants presidency at
the rate of one hundred million dollars a wear a
great financial crisis has been ayerted and
peace and plenty prevail throughout the land.
Menacing foreign difficulties have been peace
fully and hOnorably compromised and the honor
and power of the nation kept in high respect
throughout the world. This glorious record f
the past is the partys best pledge for the future
We believe the people viii not entrust the Gov
ernment to any party or combination Of men
composed chiefly of those who have resisted
every step Ofthis beneficial progress.
2. Complete liberty and exact equality in the
enjoyment Of all civil, political and public rights
should be established and effectuallY maintained
throughout the Union by efficient and apprOpr-
ate State and Federal legislation Neither the
law nor its administration should admit of anv
discrimination in respect to citizens by reason Of
race, creed, color or previous condition of seryi-
tude.

Constitution should be cordially sustained, be-

The State Interest.

The House OF Delegates very handsomely,
on saturday, passed bill repeating the law
which the decision Of tho Supreme Court,
delivered on Friday, pronounced uneohst-
tutional--f. O., tho law forbidding tie sheriifs
from receiving for taxes the coupons OF the
bonds issued under the funding bill
And now what shall be done? We will
moi anticipate any action whose purpose 's
70 dishonor the Commonwealth. We arc
SIRE there is still enough of that proud de-
vo.ion to the good name of Virginia that
once filled the minds Of all her sons to save
her from discredit before the world, and we
shall wait patiently in the expectation that
the General Assembly will provide for the
cxigcucy which has threatened to be detri-
mental to her reputation.
II gentlemen will look forward, and with
an eve single to the maintenance Of the
good name Of Virginia, they can assuredly
fashion plan by which they can not only
sustain that name, but fusthermore give a
new impulse to the general prosperity. A
State that repudiates her debt Is not an III.
wiling place for men of energy, but State
that under great difficulties shows deter
mination to meet her just obligations,
and keep her honor untarnishcd, Will COM
maud universal admiration, and men will be
inclined to cast their lot with and share the
fortunes of o people who thus show that
they capnot be kept down By misfortune nor
led to submit to dishonor from adversely.
This Is the spirit that will Guild up u com.
monweal,h. 1t IS the spirit that will accom-
p!ish that more herculean labor Of rebuild
in&. one that has been reduced almost to ruin.
GA ibis question there should be no parties,
und they that would endeayor to make party
capital by triiing with the good name and
cycdi, of the State merit the seyerest censure
Of public opinion.
ON this subject let ull unite in the spirit OF
the closing paragraph Of the opinion OF
Judge STAPLES dissenting from the judgment
Of the Court of Appeals. 1t is as follows:
"Upon this question of public faith will
say tnis--lhat Tor four years Virginia bore
lulon her bosom the burden Of civil con.
lici AS great as any recorded in history. She
came out of the struggle presenting Il lament
able spectacle Of & PROSTATE aud bleeding
state, without currency, without any or
c;nized system Of labor, pne-hslf Of her ter
llt0ry almost waste, and vast numbers OF
Eer citizens reduced to hopeless Insolvency
and ruin. For years after the rage OF bit
=" bad ceased she was kept in subsection
10 military power, under the rule Of aliens
and strangers, unacquainted with hcl
laws, her traditions, and her suGerings-and
We; hcs statutes exhibit the gratifying spec
iace OF m honest endeayor on the part OF
!ier representatives, while still under the
shadow of these disasters, to make some
provision for the payment of her creditors.
