miuers at Ncmouk, Woodiord county, ILL.,. re-
ceutIy forwed Miners uion, and yesterday
the proprietors of the mines discharged all the
members of the union and filled their places
with Norwegian MIXERS. Daring the day the
discharged miners gathered at the shafts, and
eudeavored by threats and persuasion to pre-
vent the new hands from going to work, but
were unsuccessful, and were finally sent off the
premises. Last evening, the wives Of the dis.
charged miners gathered in the vclolty Of tie
shaft and assaulted the new meu aud the Presl-
dent Of the mining company with eggs aud
other missiles, and the trouble finally reached
the dimensions Of a riot which the town au-
thorities being unable to suppress, Governor
Bevcridge was telegraphed for military aid.
In response, the Governor dispatched Adju-
tant General Higgins with a quantity of arms
to the scene OF trouble, and tclegraphed the
sheriff to aid in SURPRISING the disturbance:
To-day a number Of the rioters were arrested
and at last alvioes were being tried before a
justice Of the peace There appears to be
great excitement in Mououk but so far there
is no account of serious damage.

The lgissouri Highway Tragedies.

The body ofJW. Witches, detective, which
was found in the road near Independence No.,
some days ago. arrived at St. Lnuis last night in
charge of Mr.. Angel, Of Chicago aud will be
taken to that city. No further information re-
garding the fight between detectives and the
Younger brothers, at Monagan Springs, last
Monday has been received by any one in au-
thori!y but the ST. Louis Globe received dis
patch late las; night, which gives different
version of the affair. 1t states that the party
which was searching for the Younger brothers
was composed Of Deputy Sheriff Daniels, OF
Osceola, and two dectives, whose names we're
not given, who, while riding along the road,
we're ovcrtaken by the Youngers aud ordered
to lay down their arms aud surrender. One Of
the detectives ran and escaped, while the others
surrendered and gave up their arms. James
Younger then shot and killed Daniels, and
while firing on the detective the latter drew
DcrriDger, which he had concealed, and shot
John Younger. The detective is now at Ros
coe, lying u critical condition, with three bull
lets 10 his back, and load Of buckshot in his
left shoulder.

The defeat of Mr. Grifhth's resolution in the
House of Delegates, on Tuesday, while effected
by bare majority, gives evidence of the tenn
per of that body as being in opposition to all
measures looking to reputation Of the State
debt. This, says the Petersburg Appeal-Iu-
dex, is right. The burthen Of the public debt
is grevious indeed to be borne, but not Yet SO
grievous as the shame and ruin OF reputation.
For our very poverty is one Of the most efficient
arguments that could be employed against re-
pudiatiou Nothing is left US except our credit,

and declaring it the duty Of Parliament to con-
slider speedily means to remove the discomfort
Dr.. Butt, in moving the amendment, said Ire
land wants complete policy Of couciliation,

Home Secretary argued that no particular
home rule policy could be agreed upon by the

motion elected considerable discussion, 10
which Gladstone took part, and was finally re-
jected by decided vote-ll4 to 81.

ECCENTRIcIrIEs OF EXTERMINATIoN.-1
Mrs. Ames' Ten Years in WASHINGTON she
describes the proposal of philauthroplc
Frcncman who applied through the American
Legation in Paris for patent on an invention
to "extermiDate all the lions and tigers in the
United States by the use Of catuip.' The plan
was simply to dig an immense pit 10 some
Western prairie aud 6 it with this malodorous
herb. when the well-koown love Of the feline
race for catnip will Induce the lions and tigers
to rush into the pitt where mas ed artillery
can play upon and destroy them. The patent
was denied, on tie grounds that there were no
lions or tigers to be destroyed, but had the
Commissioner reflected that the plan might be
equally effective against domestic felines the
application might have been granted. Not to
be outdone 10 this line Of philanthropy, an
American has sent 10 elaborate p ANS aud spe-
c6catons for the humiliation Of grasshoppers
iu Kansas and Utah by the use of artillery, not
by first coping the victims into pit and pour
ing shot aud smell into their vitalS, but by firing
over their heads while peacefully grazing on
the plains, and SO destroy them by conclusion.
