THE MINERS coNspIRAcY TRIAL.
The Jurys First Vote. Eight for Acauittai
and Four for Conviction.

CLEARFIELD, Pa, Oct. 6.-In the trial of
the miners conspiracy to-day T. W. Hughes, In
his argument for the defendants, maintained
that, under the act of 1872, the strike
leg Il aud laborers had the right to combine to
raise their wages, the only question was whether
siney or Parks had used force OF intimidation
to secure the purpose OF the strike. Referring
To the gradual reduction OF the compensation
for mining from 30 to co. and In the panic OF
1873 to 80 cents per ton the latter being upon \
promise TO restore the co cents when the con-
dition OF the trade permitted. he said the imme-
diate cause OF the strike was an Intellectual
effort on the part OF the men, who supposed the
operators cound afford to pay the advance, to
compel compliance with this alleged promise.
He reviewed the testimony To show that the
defendants disnpproved OF the strike, and ex-
erted themselves to prevent any breach Of the
peace, or the use OF any unlawful means. The
labor question: particularly the mutual depen-
dence OF labor and capital upon each other. the
true interests of each being IDENTICAL, aud the
necessity for laborers II combine as means OF
protection against the aegressiveness Of monop-
oles, formeh larse portion 81 his arsument;

A CITY IN THE HANDS or A MON.
CharIeston's streets FILLED with Cunning
hams Special Policemen, Armed with
Clubs Tho Farce Of n CITY Election.


CHARLEsroN, oct. 6.-The public will be
unable to form any correct idea Of the munich
pal muddlc in this city from the Associated
Press despstcbes. Things are singularly mixed
here. For the election which took place to-day
there were two tickets-one a straight Conserya-
tive ticket, headed by Gen. WAGNER, an inauen-
tial German citizen, who formerly filed the
Office OF Mayor with credit to himself and ad-
vantage to the city the other the Republican
ticket, headed by Geo. j. Cunningham, the
present Mayor The Republican ticket included
nine colored men and seven whites for Alder
men the Conservatives nominated minority
Of colored Conservatives for Aldermen, the re-
naming candidates being whites.
The Republican ticket Is supported by the
Mackey faction OF Republicans, and by those
Conservatives who have discovered in Gov.
Chamberlain the material for a great reiormer,
and by the Netcs and Courier, which, while pro-
Tossing to be Coservatiye journal, is the chosen
can municipal ticket. The Express is the organ
OF theCOnservatiyes.
elected Mayor instead of Cunningham In 1873,
and that the latter got his Office by fraudulent
voting or counting: indeed the Ncrs and Courier
which then supported Wagener. said after that
election that " In the judgment of cool aud can
did citizens It IA a fraud from the beginning. a
deliberately cOntriveJ scheme to trick tue peo-
pie out Of their rights"
At that time Bowen and Mackey, the Repub-
lican leaders, were both working for Cunning
-
tween them. and II was in part owing to the
dissensiOns In the Republican ranks that the
WAGNER men were encouraged to nOmi-
nate a straight Conservative ticket. IL was
understood that In order to spite Mackey, Bow
EN- would use his influence among the colored
men for the WAGNER ticket; and the Republic
cans charge that he has been colonlzinR black
voters to help the Conservatives, while the latter
assert that Mackey has been doing the same
Thing to help their opponents: Cunningham
has the police under his control, and II said to
have made them very useful as strikers and re-
peaters on the occasion OF the Republican
primary election which nominated him but
Bowen Is sheriff Of the county, and has an army
OF deputies at his beck and call
Both WAGNER and Cunningham have held the
office of Mayor, and there is no doutt that the
former Is incomparably tue better man for the
place. Under his administration the city ex-
penses were far less than under that OF his sue
cessor, whose official acts as County COmmis-
sioner have been Investigated with damaging
results.
9E T.. M-The farce is over without general
bloOdshed. Several heads were broken. The
city has been IN the hands OF u mob all day, who
now parading the streets with clubs AS
special police Of Cunningham. IL Is supposed
he and portion OF bis Aldermen are elected,
though the vote Is close aud doubtful. Votes
were bought openly.
