COLUMBUS, o., June 29.-The coal op-
orators at Straitsville are making a final
attempt to put white miners into their
mines. But thus far the leaders of the
Union refuse TO allow their men to 90 to
work at the prices proposed. The mines
will all be filed with colored men by July
4, and then the white miners will be COM
pelled TO look for work elsewhere.
Ii is reported that at Dauville about 100
white men desire TO resume work, but are
deferred by threats of violence and the de-
struction of their property by fire.
A Struggle that Benefits the People.
On the 22d of this month the ecoal-dealers,
doing business here, made an agreement
fixing the price of coal at eleven dollars per
hundred bushel, and twelve dollars when
bought in small quantities. One prominent
dealer who was compelled to be at his mine,
complains that the other dealers took adj
vantage of his absence, and to get even
sold his coal at one cent per bushel less
than the rate agreed on. This broke up the
combination and coal has been dropping
all day, and tonight is quoted at nine cents
per bushel, the lowest figure it has sold
at for about ten years, and there are further
reductions possible, if the large operators
get excited.

relative to the recent action of the

and resolutions were adopted, declaring
that the action of the grand jury was such
as to endanger the rights of both good citi-

disgrace upon our city and county; that

The ThundcrboIdt Has Not Struck
Him.
NEW YORK, June 2S-Perhaps the lar
gest congregation ever seen in Plymouth
church attended this morning, announce
ment having been made that Mr.. Beecher
would preach the last sermon previous to
his summer vacation. AfLer the regular
intrOduc. Ory service Mr.. Beecher read the
fifiy-fourth chapter of Isaiah, taking as the
text of his sermon the fifth verse thereof.
For the Mixer is thine Husband, the
Lord of Hosts is his name; and thy Re
deemer the Holy One of Israel; the God of
the whole earth shall lie be called.
From the beginning 10 the close OF the
discourse the greatest attention was paid.
The regular attendants were well pleased,
and the crowd of the curious heard good
sermon, but looked somewhat disap-
pointed.
There was no reference made by Beech
er to the letter of Theodore TiltOn. When
the services were over, the members of
Plymouth Church and a number of
strangers crowded up to the platform
whereon Beeeher stood, and general hand
shaking, which continued for some time,
took place. Beecher looked his pleasant
est, ana evidently Jne tnundeFDOit nstd not
struck him. When he had shaken the
hands of all who could get within reach,
and had listened meanwhile to the kind ex-
pressions of the more distant, Beecher left
the church.

New YORK, June 29.-Wm. f. West,
who is mentioned by Theodore Tilton in
his letter to Rev. Leonord Bacon, has ad-
dressed a letter 10 the same clergyman in
which, while he regrets exceedingly that
the statements contained in Tilton's letter
compel him again to appear in this unhap-
py controversy, he says that his first charges
against Tilton were made two months
previous 10 my interview with him, and
not few weeks afterwards as stated in his
letter. Second, at the time when they
were made they were intended TO secure
the conviction of Tilton, 10 remove the
stain which rested on the Church and TO
vindicate its pastor. They were not an
indirect and insinCere method of investiga
ting one man under the false pretense of
investigating another.

ESTABLISHED MARCH 80. 1885,
RREye err y1TE REsERyEs,

This is the keynote of the campaign
before US. The remarks we have made
about Davidson apply with much force
to every other county in the State. The
State census of 1871 gave Davidson
9,237 white voters to 5,S17 blacks,
making total of 15,054 The highest
poll of 1872 was only 1850, showing
1924 stay-at-homes. This is %
per cent Of the entire voting popu-
lation, or 80 per cent of the
vote actually cast. In other words,
one man of every four stayed away
from the polls. Other counties also
show remarkably large percentage Of
voters whose voices have been silent in
past contests. We have every reason
to believe that nine-tenths of
this self-disfranchised class belong
to the peoples party. The county
lections, bearing directly on their
local interests, afford good chance
for drawing them out. Once aroused,
they may be depended on. The most
practical and the most profitable work
in all the counties during the coming
six weeks is TO bring out the. reserves.
After drawing out all we can in August,
we viii have three months to rally the
rest to the November polls.
