THE STRrKE.-Last Thursday, Fri.
day and Saturday, there was consid-
cradle excitement In town. in relat'o
to the strike of the Railroad hands.
In our last issue we published the
statement of the hands, which was
entirely correct. 1t was no dispute
about wages or hours, it was simply
measures taken by the men to get
pay for the work they have done -
The hands employed in the Railroad
shops here are as sober, industrious,
and quiet set of men, as we have ever
seen gathered anywhere. In all that
they did, there was no disorder, and
they only did what they thought nee
essarv to bring the Railroad company
to terms. On Saturday morning
they refused to allow the engine to
run, or the men to work at the De
pot, so the Fleetwood was compelled
to lie here unloaded.
On Saturday evening, Gen. WINS.
C.. Wickham arrived on the even
ing train, and about six o'clock,
got the men together at the Depot
and made an address,, which explain
ed satisfactorily the position of the
road, and the causes which had opera
ted to produce the stringency in mon
ev matters. He dispelled efectually
the fears of the hands that there was
any danger of their losing the money
due them, and restored their conf
dence in the ability and intention Of
the road to protect them. His speech
was frank and manly; he ac&nowl-
edged that the men were not to blame
for what they had done, but he assur-
ed them that they should be paid in
full.
He made some very interesting
statements as to the increase of bust.
ness on the road, which shows that
there need be no fear on the part Of
bondholders or creditors of loss. The
receipts OF the road show most en-
couraging and wonderful incr ase,
and are as follows: Receipts in De
cember last. $1,000; in January,
$4,000; in February, So, 900; and
it is estimated that for March, the re-
ceipts will be Sl25, 900.
The men were fully satisfied with
the statements of Gen Wickham, AID
went home satisfied There was an
extra force put to work on Sunday
morning at the Depot, and it was the
intention to send out 40 car loads OF
freight on that evening.
None of the passenger trains were
interfcred with in any way during
the strike.
The settlement agreed to by the
men, is that they are to be paid their
back pay in scrip at 30 and 60 days
which will be taken up by the compa-
ny at the rate Of at least - per cent.
a week, and faster if possible, and,
it is expected that all arrearagcs will
be cleared up by the first of August.

The Daily Graphic. One of the
wonders of the nineteenth century is
the journal above mentioned. The
Daily Graphic was started in New
\ ork two years ago, and was consider
ed by many as a most rash experiment.
An experiment it certainly was ; the
idea of furnishing a sheet as large as
the Tribune or Herald profusely Illus
trated, and filed with reading matter
set up in Nonpareil and Agate type
and ali for the paItry sum of fire cents
per copy or $3.50 per year But the
enterprising men who conceived the
scheme struck the key note of a want
sadly felt in the great city. and they
have gone on from conquering to con-
quer. We congratulate them on their
pluck and success. The Graphic is a
mirror of daily life, and its portrayals
are not low, neither sensational in any
respect, but truthful ana elevating.
Its subscribers number an aggregate
larger than all the other evening papers
in Gotham. No incident escapes the
eye Of its reporters which is either
pictured or written up in graphic style.
Its terms are 81 80 per year for the
Weekly, and S12 for the Daily. Sub
scribe for it. It is a capital invest
ment.
