stnI IIoldIns ont at Columbus.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 2.-The striking en-
gineers here still hold out, notwithstand-
ing that the strike is breaking at other
points. The real trouble here now, is that
the engineers know that certain ring lead
ers will not be taken back into the employ
of the Railroad Company, and 80 they
must stick together, hoping to enforce the
employment of even the leaders. The
railroad authorities have given notice that
all who want their engines, had better APP
ply ut once. The running of all the regu-
faI passenger trains has transferred the ex-
element to the freight depot, but no out
break has occurred,

ENGINEERS STRIKE.
THE STRIKE COMING TO AN END.
No Change I'm the situation.

COLUMBUS, Dec 3O.-The railroad au-
thorities here say the strike must break
before many days. On the other hand, a
visit to the rooms of the Brotherhood of
Engineers shows them to be as determined
as they were last week. They say the
orders of Chief Engineer Wilson had no
effect on them. The worst feature of the
trouble here was the discovery of obstruc-
tons on the track of the Little Miami
Railroad in three places within the city
limits. An engine about to leave with a
train tonight was found to be soaped.
The railroad authorities ore attempting
to run all their day trains, and have got
more away to-day than any day since the
strike commenced.
Authority of the Grand Chief DisnVOwed
LOUISVILLE, Dec. 30.-All striking en-
giueers in t his vicinity have refused to ac-
cent the offer of the Jacksonville, Madison
and indianapolis Railroad Company, and
none of them had resumed work yesterday.
At a meeting of the Brotherhood last
night, the authority of Grand Chief Engi-
neer Wilson was disavowed, and the re
ported acts of violence of striking engi-
neers elsewhere were strongly condemned.
No violence whatever i'll this vicinity
has been reported.
The Strike Nearly Ended.
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 3O.-The engineers
strike continues without any material
change. One passenger train went out
this morning on the Panhandle road and
one on the Jacksonville road Trains
have arrived on both roads. The Vim
cennes road is running its passenger trains
regularly. Rumors are still current of n
general strike on all roads, but seem to be
without foundation. From present APP
pearances the strike is nearly ended.
Eastern Engineers Accept the Reduction.
New YORK, Dec. 31.-The engineers of
the Eastern division of the Pennsylvania
railroad have been in session in Jersey
City, for the past three hours, to finally
decide whether to strike tomorrow.
The officers of the Company are appre-
hending trouble. The engineers, pilots and
other ferry hands of the Company report
ed this A. NJ, that they accede to the reduce
ton of ten per cent. of their salary.
At2 o'clock p. NJ, q Committee from the
engineers waited ,on the Assistant Super
intendent in Jersey City, and had confer
ence with him. They reported that the
engineers of the New York division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, numbering 1856,
decided to accept the proposed reduction,
and would not strike, but would present
a remonstrance to President Thompson,
asking when business improves, If their
pay will be raised to the former amount

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

I The Dresden Democrat declared that it
will demand of candidates for the State
legislature a pledge that they will vote for
q repeal of that clause Of the funding law
requiring the State Treasurer to meet the
interest on the State bonds, before current
expenses of the State can be paid. In re-
ply, the Nashville Union and American
puts this question :...................
q" Has the question ever occurred to the
Democrat: Can this clause be constitution
ally repealed? ?. Would not its repeal i'm
pair contract already consummated with
every man who has funded his bonds ?
Would not its repeal involve the State in
costly litigation, resulting in the vindica-
ton of the existing clause, with damages
Would not the States own courts so de-
cide?n
If the position Of the Union and
american is correct-which we deny
those gentlemen organizing a low
tax party are wasting their pre-
cious time. If the terms of the funding
law bind the State to pay out of her reve-
nues the interest on her bonded debt be-
fore she pays her Judges, Legislators OF
ministerial officers, or before she pays any
thing for the support of her blind or in
sane, there is no chance for low taxes until
the debt is paid off. The question as now
presented will give the people some new
ideas about the present State administra-
| ton.

WHAT is he GOING TO DO?

We don't know why it is, but there
tain Middle and West Tennessee papers
that Andrew Johnson is to be a central
figure in the coming State canvass. This
does not grow out of any "overt act
committed 10y the ex-President, nor from
any public avowal he has made. He has
remained pretty closely at home during
the crusade) and when he determines to
do something in politics, he generally
goes somewhere and talks to the
people," According to our present recol-
lection his friend H. V. r., " of the Gin
cinnati Commercial has not "interview-
ed" him single time in the past three or
four months. Mr.. johnson has certainly
been very quiet. 1t is true that the Lou
don Journal mentioned him as its first,
last, and all the time" candidate for the
United States Senate, but this celebrated
coup d'etdt cost the editor his journalistic
head, and we have heard no more about it.
We have heard that the eX-President will
visit Nashville in a day or two, but
whether there is any political signifi-
canoe attached to his visit we do
not undertake to say, For the
relief of those journals, SO exceedingly
anxious to know what he is going to do he
ought to speak out and unbosom himself.
If he proposes to play the role of the mad
bovine in China shop, he ought to let it
be known in time, SO that Mr.. John c.
Burch & Co. can keep back their best ware
and save it from being broken. Now we
think about it, Col. Colyar's meeting is to
be held at Nashville next week. Can it be
that this has anything to do with the pro-
posed visit! of our distinguished fellow
citizen? But, as weare in no hurry about
this matter, we will stop surmising and
wait for developments.

THE MISSISSIPPI LEvREs.

The losses by the overflow of the Mis-
sissippi are not local, but national. The
sugar plantations ruined affect the cane
crop for two years. Large parishes of the
richest cotton producing sections of the
South have been so washed as to make a
new soil almost essential to making a new
crop. These disasters will 80 direct public
attention to the importance Of building
permanent levees to the Mississippi that

to improve navigation on the twenty
thousand miles of western rivers through
which flow the life currents of the nation.
We could raise the money required TO
open out these rivers by taxation, without
any burden to the people. A restoration
of the tax on coffee and tea would yield
$50, 100000 annually, and this would give
enough in six years to accomplish all thi :
is needed. The price of these articles has
not been lessened by removing the tax,
and it would not be increased much by
putting it on. France has expended on
her water courses $40, 100000, and Eng
land has spent on railroads in India s44O,-
OO0,O 200. We ought not, says the Senator,
to hesitate to spend one-third those sums
to revive the dropping farming interests of
the West and South.

writing from Antigua Guatemala, under date
of lie fourth Instant reports that an earthquake
touk place there the evening before at $50 p.

earthouake shook the ground violently in the
direction from west to cast. The movement
was a series Of strong vertical and horizon
tai impulses combined The fluctuations 90
the surface rose and fell at least foot: This
acting alone with the above mentioned move
meut, made it almost impossible to move
ahou, without being thrown to the ground,
Added to this were the piercing cries Oh
the popuacc, creaking aud cracking OF walls,
loud sounds like thunder from the earth beneath,
the ratllig noise Of tiles, houses and walls TALL
ing, which altogether formed hldeous concert
which can never be forgotten. 1t was very
dark, too, aud every visible object was IN vlo
lent motion. Long after the first shock had
passed tHcrC was Stlll uolsc VI "diio loiiiuS

of hundreds of voices chanting hymn to the
