STRIKB RIOTS AT THE SCRANTON COAL
M1NRs.-There has been some trouble among
the miners at MoOsic, small Iown near Scrane
ton,Pa., during the past tive days. Some time
slnce the boss OF the mine discharged q boy, and
the miners refused to work unless he was REIN
stated and the boss discharged. This the oom-
pany refused to do and all efforts to induce the
men to go to work proving unsvailing they
concluded to get miners from distance. Dur
ing the first of this week a number of Welsh
miners arrived, but were prevented from going
INTO the mines Dy the strikers, who are prin.
cipally Iri: =. weapons of all kinds were dis
plsyed yesterday, but no one was hnrt, an
effort TO enter the mine was postponed. Sher-
IN Whitaker left WiIksbarre with a posse of
fifty men, and was Joined at MOosic by a nam
Der from Scranton, under charge Of Deputy

new workmen into the mine. Twelve of the
leading rioters were arrested and taken TO
WlIkesb are, and otter a hearing were commit

The Louisiana Question,
CHARLES o'CoNNoR REVIEWS RKvKRDY J


SONS ARGUMENT.
NRw YORK, October S.-Chsrles O'Connor
in letter to-day, reviewing the argument of
Reyerdy johnson on Louisians says: "The sim
gle point in issue between Mr.. johnson aud
myself is whether an executive error, such as
he says the President committed in sitting the
legitimate voice OF Louisiana and placing a
usnrper in the chair iOf state, binds the Presi-
Dent himself, and makes a sort of liegeman 20
To at, willy nilly, he must thenceforth be ever
ready - come at the call OF the usurper and
with the whole executive power OF the union
crush all local opposition. The illegitimacy of
kelloggs original claim is asserted by Mr.
johnson with the concurrence of nearly eyery
intelligent and disinterested person having any
knowledge of the subject. This should be kept
In view, since much is always gained in discus
sion by confining the issue TO its own precise
limits. One advantage here is that it will en-
able those learned jurists who may think Kel-
iegg was duly elected TO examine and without
the excitement of passion or partiality. 10 form
an independent opinion concerning Johnson's
dogma that executive resolutions in such case
are irrecovabie. Mr.. O'Connor then proceeds
70 combat Mr.. Johnson's argument and 20 show
that the President can and should reconsider
his decision.

introduced resolution stating that the White

luton was rejected, and one offered by F.

monstrations as the drilling of armed men in

THE GLENDENNIEG SCANDAL CAsR-The
Presbytery of Jersey city, the only tribunal
before which the case Of Rev. John S. Glenden-
ming can come, convened in the Second Pres
byterian church, Jersey city, yesterday, after
Which Kew. i. q. Wall was elected moderator
for the ensuing year. The attendance was quite
large, and number of the friends Of the late
Mary T.. Pomeroy were present. Mr.. Glenden-
ming was in attendance early, and seemed quite
nervous. The first motion in the order OF busi-
ness was made by Rev. Mr.. Booth, who desired
that the letter written 20 the officers of the
Presbytery by Mr.. Glendenn.ng dems ndinR an
investigation, should be read. DIR. Harkness
opposed the public reading of the letter, as there
were number Of persons present who were not
members OF the presbytery. The motion did not
prevail, and the letter wss read. 1t was dated
August %, and simply asked for a prompt in
vestigatiOn. Rev. Mr.. Booth moved its refer
ence to the judiciary committee, which was
done, and the moderator appointed Rev. DIR.
lmbrie, OF Jersey City; Rev. DIR. Magee, OF Pat
tersop, and Rev. +. A. Riggs as the cIergymen,
and Messrs. De Witt, Meigs and Elder as the
Isy men on the committee. A sharp discussion
on the question of a secret or public exsmina-
ton was decided by tabling until the committee
presents its report. The meetings OF the COM
mlttee, which will act as a grand Jury, are to
be secret. They have given public notice that
they will meet in Mr.. Glendenning's church this
afternoon and evening to hear all charges that
may be preferred against the pastor. II, in
their opinion. there is q case they will report TO
the presbytery, and that body will use fts own
discretion in determining IL the trial shall be
held with open doors.-N. y. Republic, 7A.
