The Miners Strike.

CoLUMBvs, June 29.-The coal opera
tors at StraitsviIle are making final
attemp pt to put white miners into their
mines, but thus far the leadcrs OF the
Union refuse to allow their mea 20 90
to work a. the price proposed. The
mines will all be fiIlel with colored
men by July Attn, and then the white
miners will be compelled to look !cr
work elsewhere. 1t i8 reported that
at Dauville about 100 white men
desire 10 resume work, but are deferred
by threats OF violence ard the destruc-
ton OF their property by fire. On the
22d OF this month the coal dealers
doing business here, made an agree-
ment fixing the price Of coal at Sll per
hundred bushels, aud $l2 when bought
in small quantities. One promisent
dealer who was compelled to he At bis

Quoted al 9 cents per bushel, the lowest
figure il has sold ut for about ten years
and there are further reductions possi-
ble, if large operators get excited.

night to give expression to their feel-
iues relative to the recent action OF the
grand jury in refusing to listen to the
testimony in regard to the violations oI
the LIQUOR law of the State in this city,
Pointed and significant speeches were
made by the Hon G. y. Olds and
Judge James l. Bates after which 2
preamble and resolutions were adopted
declaring that the recent action OF the
grand Jury WAS such IS to endaugfI
the rights OF both good citizens and
criminals, and calculated to bring dis
grace upon our city aud country; that
the Jurors who violated their oaths are
ameDabIe to censure, ard rsques ing
