The Miners.

COLUMBUS, O., May pa telegram was
received at the Executive Department to-
day fr,m a large coal operator at Massillon,
stating that the coal miners employed near
Massillon have been on strike, aud last

work and building, and threatened the lives
of the proprietors, outside men and guards
and shot two men.
Anticipating an extensive riot, the Gov
ernor was asked to send help as soon as pos
sible.
The telegram was forwarded to Gov. Al

HOW THEY DID 1T.
The Levee Company Bill.

The following we have CLEANED from the
journal OF the House of Representatives for
this State, just published. Doubtless our
readers will remember how Brs. Beard and
Chopin were defeated in their suit against
the Levee Company, for damages to a plan
tation by overflow, the Judge pronouncing
the late act OF the Legislature legal.
We have taken pains to make inquiry
concerning the same, aad our efforts have
been rewarded by the discovery that the
late act, releasing the Levee Company from
damages for neglect, is a nullty. The jour
nal of the House shows that Senate bill No
470 never passed its first reading, and there
fore could not become law.
The forty-fifth days. proceedings. March
5th 1874 show that message from the
Senate was received in the House, signed
by z. E. Bechtel, Secretary of the Senate,
asking concurrence in Senate bill 47O, an
act providing for the acceptance, by the
Louisiana Levee Company, of a reduction of
the rate Of certain taxes to be collected as
compensation to said company, from four
INNS W ouiCC uiiIiS, iHt III COHSiucIsitIoH VI
said reduction, relieving said company from
damage in certain cases.
The journal shows that nothing was done
with the bill until inst before IL e adjourn
ment of the morning session, on the last
day, when the journal says that said bill
passed its second and third readings, under
suspension of the constitutional rules, and
finally passed, title adopted and notice of
| the same ordered sent to the Senate.
The journal shows that the bill never
passed its first reading
certain Senator, who vouches for the
truth of this, stated that this bill was not
carried to the House in the morning session,
but made its first appearance there in the
evening session Of the last day, the Journal
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Here is pretty kettle of fish. Notwith-
standing every effort has been made by those
behind the scenes, those who compiled the
journal of the House so far forgot themselves
as to omit interl ming that first reading.

The Great Financial Editor.

London Correspondence u New York Tribune.1
A rumOr is current that Mr.. Sampson is
to retire from the Times. Mr.. Sampson has
been the financial winter Oh that paper for
many years, and has welded a power to
which nothing else can be compared. His
name is, l suppose. widely known in Ame-
RIGA, and not much honOred. He was no
friend of ours. Whether it was he or some
other who, during the var, predicted that
the time would soon come when neither
principal nor interest of the American
| securities would be paid l cannot say He
it was, certainly, who gave the tone to the
financial discussions in the Times, in the
leading columns as well as in what is here
called the city article. / don doubt that
he honestly disbelieved in American credit.
The result Of his incredulity was to put
some millions of profit in the pockets of
German bankers and their clients, who had
more faith and better information, and
fewer preiudces. The English lost what
the Germans gained, vet the Times was and
is as much of an oracle as ever, and has
pursued pretty steadily it's policy of dis
cOuraging investments in American bonds.
The exceptions prove the rule. If Mr..
Sampson is to go out, there may be a change
in tone. He is well on in years, rich, and
may naturally enough desire to rid himself
of the labors and responsibilities of such a
post.

The Fnte Of F. A, Dockray.

NEW YORK. May ga letter says, the
fate of the American, F.. A. DDckray, who
was arrested at NemaitisO, on April Sd, is
still uncertain. The authorities represented
by Gen. Portillo, commanding that district,
ordered his removal to Puerto Principe for
trial.
1t is expected from the hesitation shown
to proceed to extreme measures that Dock
rays life may be spared, but the entire
matter rests with the Governor General, and
his decision must be patiently waited for.
Dockray has been heard from up to the
