ECHOES FROM THE MINES.
OFFICE or
THE MINERS NATIONAL ASSOCIATION. I
Room II, 9l5 SENECA STREET.

CLEVELAND, March TO- 1874.
To the Editor Of the woKkINsNAN's ADVOCATE.
In talking Of ''pauper labor we no long
er need to turn ourselves to Europe and
say, there ~ there y We can point now
to too many Of the coal mining regions Of
America especially those Of Kansas, as
given below, and say there! We have
scarcely parallel for the case given below
so graphically yet painfully told. In Eu-
rope the wages, however small, would be
paid in cash that would be accepted at par
value anywhere.
1t seems, also, that they have grave rea-
sons to suspect that the mails have been
tempered with. The losses who control
these should remember that though they
may trample on the miners, ''Uncle Sam"
is powerful, and may put his hard hand Of
law upon them in their nefarious practice.
We trust justice will reach them by swift
detection, and punishment be melted out
as provided by law.

2, 1874, as follows think the Board que :
ton is about fixed. was appointed as
one to frame Bylaws for the government
of this district. We had very satisfac-
tory session, and did a great deal Of work,
as you will seq by the report and copy Of
the BYLAWS, which are To be sent on to
you. | instructed Mr.. to furnish
you the official members of the district as
soon as possible understand that all
Mr.. --s communications have been
intercepted on the route, as the operators
have the entire charge of his mail. We
have concluded to have Ia detective posted
ON the matter, and may work up the dis
covery
There is one serious matter with us here
the people are 50 poor as not to be able to
JON MS and keep up their dues One per
son stated in open session that he had not
had "A cupful of -four IN his house for four
days another, with six boarders besides
his family Qarge) had no bread for break
fast, and the merchants refused to give
credit. The coal company is issuing checks
they refuse to redeem, and saw one per
son offer one (value 500 for one dollar cash.
and was refused. | understand the men
sent IN a proposition to cease work if not
paid in cash but | can not see how this
will mend the case, as the mine is scarcely
running any, and 1t may stop for the sea
son. So, if our numbers decrease, you will
see that the members are unable to keep
up their dues.

Another infamous practice here is that,
after the men 60 down in the pit they are not
permitted to come up again until six o'clock
in the evening, no matter what their condi-
ton may be. Not very long since, one OF
the men was overcome from the effect of the
foul air in the room in which he was at work.

How the Senate stands on "Inna,ion."

Under date of Friday, the Baltimore
SUMS Washington correspondent tele-
graphs rs follows:
II is thought, after careful consider
alton and Interchange of views with
leading Senators, that any further in
ilation of the currency Is doubtful. The
Senate as n body Is conservative on
I'll point. Senator Alcorn, who Is the
leading Southern Republican Senator,
advocates more currency, ana most OF
his party associates from that section
concur with him. Judge Merrimon, of
North Carolina, and others of the
Southern Democratic Senators, are
also said to regard enlargement of the
volume of currency as u panacea for all
existing evils. Mr.. Morton, as leader
of his own section, and us the recog-
Missed party leader in the Senate,
wields much influence. d. He may be
set down as q moderate inflationist
On the other hand, Mr., Howe, also u
representative Western man, is bitterly
opposed to the issue of single addl-
tional paper dollar. So, also, 1t is
believed, is Mr.. Schurz The Pacific
coast Senators, are, of course, for "hard
money" In the main, the Senators
of both parties from the Middle States
are against any increase. The New
England Senators may be said to be
united against it, although Mr. Buck
ingham, for instance, favors the con-
vertible bond idea. So far, though
many Senators have indicated what
they are opposedto, none, is believed,
but Messrs. Buckingham, Ferry Of
Michigan, and Sumner, have brought
forward any measures of their own,
purporting to cover all the necessities
of the situation. The Finance Com
mittee after listening to the views of
the Senators will probably report am
original bill embracing, so far as
practicable, the views expressed by the
majority. There are in the committee
but two members who are looked upon
as "inhationists, and hence that doc
trne cannot find much favor with it.

The DeiaIcauon OF the Late Freed

The report Of the Secretary Of War
Ia Congress, that o. o, Howard, the
Commissioners Of the late Freedman's
Bureau, IL u defaulter, has been the
OCCASION Of various comments by the
press, The amount stolen Is reported
by the Secretary % be two hundred aud
seventy thousand dollars 10 this COM
pleXlon II has come at last The
freedmans Bureau will be remem-
bered with u shudder by the class In
the South for whose humiliation, Op-
preston and plumber II was organized.
Ii was nothing more or less Than A..
agency Of robbery and tyranny 10 the
prescribed class who had come out Of
The war with lost liberty and wrecked
estates.
General Howard, who has been
branded rs delaulter for more than u
quarter million of dollars, was the CEN
trail figure Of gang Of worse than cut
throats, who piled their calling In the
unreconstructed States, They lorded
II over the unfortunate landowners
with arrogant sway organized strife
between the races, and carried on q
Wholesale system Of plunderlng, In
this Institution Of vlllalny, u large
number Of the carpet-bag statesmen
who have ruled and ruined the South,
received their diplomas, From the
precints Of the bureau they emerged
into full-blown governors, senators,
representatives, judges, school superln-
tendents, and what not. What will be
done with the ease of Howard, remains
TO be seen. 1t will he investigated by
Congress, and the proof Of his guilt, as
furnished by the Secretary Of War, Is
too conclusive TO justify the apprehen-
sion that he will be "whitewashed."
If he gets his deserts, he will take his
place by the side Of Tweed, the fallen

THE best joke yet with which the
notorious Tom Collins has been con-
nected is on a gOod-looking Bellaire
furniture man. 1t Was not the inten-
ton of any one to make him the vic
tim but was entirely accidental. 1t
happened in this style: a few nights
since an honest yeoman came in from
the country after a coffin for deceased
neighbJr; as it was quite late and the
c0ffin store closed the man had to go to
the residence of the proprietor and call
him from bed; he succeeded in making
noise enough to arouse the coffin man,
who poked his head out of an up-stair
window. and asked what was wanted
the answer came Il want a coffin,' I'd
'who is it for?' answer,
Thomas Collirs' The idea at once
flashed across the ac.ive mind of the
coffin vender that he Was the victim of
a huge joke. Now this coffin man is
known to be hish-toned, moral and
courteous gentleman, hut of a quick
and impulsive disposition, and began
to pour a volley of vile
epithets and anathemas on the head of
the innocent and astonished country
man; told him to go to warm country
and continued to abuse him in the
most unmeasured terms uutil the be-
wildered farmer thought the coffin
man was crazy and went away to wake
up another man. By the assistance of
the other man he persuaded him that
he was not joking but acting bona .tatte
the Office of neighbor and that Thum-
as Collins was really dead. The coffin
man was not fully convinced but look
ed on the yeoman with suspicion until
he had paid him for the coffin and
started away with it.

TRos. HART, colored man, was ar
rested III GAINESVILLE on Saturday,
upon charge of assaulting Benjamin
Drake barber with intent to kill, and
taken before Esq. Gardiner, who, upon
a hearing held him for his appearance
at Court, in the sum OF $500, and in de-
fault he was sent to Jail in charge of
Deputy and Constables, Henthorne and
Shaffer. The circumstances as rehears-
ed to us, are as follows: Hart went
into the barber shop of Drake and ask
ed for shave, and for rsome reason was
refused, whereupon some angry words
were spoken, and the difficulty for the
time ended. A colored meeting was
in progress in town that night and
Drake was in attendance. 1t is under
stood that Hart had threatened to do
bodily harm to Drake and that he re.
paired TO that meeting armed with a
razor for that purpose. We, are not ad-
vised whether any hostile demonstra-
tions were made by Hart, but shortly
after his appearance there he was SET
on by near dozen men and handled
without gloves, after which the war.
rant was sued out. The meeting wa.
broken up by the row.

go TO the post-office on the arrival of
every mail. If possible, reach the of
fee Just at that interesting moment
when the distribution commences, and
fight it out with the rest of the crowd,
if it takes all summer. Make all the

OF their Pastor, tne ReV. j. Is. JOHN
sTON:
ST. CLAIRSvILLE, o., June q.
A meeting of the UDited Presbyteri-
an hurch congregation of this place,
was this day htld for the purpose of
expressing our feelings in regard to the
resignation of our beloved pastor, the
Rev. J. b. Johnston ID. d. The fol.
lowing Resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, In the all-wise provi-
dence of the Great King and Head of
the Church, our venerable and worthy
pastor feeling unable, through the in
tirmities of age, to perform full pastO-
raj lahors, has rendered his resignation
of this congregation to Presbytery ,and
by it the pastoral relation has been dis
solved.
Resolced, 1st, That in view OF the re-
lation that has so long and happily ex-
isted as pastor and people we deeply
feel the loss of such an earnest, faithful
and devoted minister, so wise a cOun-
sellor and eminent divine.
Resoiced, I'd, That as minister of
the Gospel he fearle4sly declared the
whole counsel of God, his time and tai
ents being entirely and conscientiously
devoted to the spiritual welfare of his
flock and to the service of his divine
Master.
Res0lred, Sd, That his exemplary pi-
ETY., his untiring efforts for the welfare
of our Church, Sabbath School and
Prayer meeting, his christian walk and
ldepOrtment, gave him an influence and
power for good which will long be
cherished and remembered by us.
ResotUed, 4th, 1t is the earnest pray
er Of this congregation that the Great
Head of the Church will abnndantly
reward him, and may the consultations
of the Gospel and Gods promises sus-
tain him in his old age, and when his
work here is finished, may he receive
that heavenly plaudit, "Well done,
good and faithful servant, enter into
the joy of thy Lord"
ResolUed, 5th, That as token of our
esteem and gratitude, we deem it our
christian duty to continue his salary
for at least one year, with q request
that he supply the pulpit when vacant,
and give us such pastoral laborS as his
health will permit.
hesoiUed, 9th, That copy of these
Resolutions be given to DIR. Johnston,
also copy offered to the United Presby-
terian, and st. Clairsville papers for
publication. A. III. HEWETsoN,
