Buck Mountain, which has long been no.
torious for being one of the most disorderly
mining communities in Pennsylvania, was the
cause of first class riot on Monday, which
has created intense excitement in the region.
About two hundred of the men who are ON
strike, armed with pistols, clubs and guns,
started from Buck Mountain on Monday
morning, and proceeded to Jeddo compelling
all the men there to quit work and join them.
In attempting to dispense them, one police
man was shot and several badly wounded.
For time great excitement prevailed and
the stores in the town were closed to prevent
them from being sacked. Later dispatches
however, say THAT the rioters have retired
and that the fears of the people have heen
allayed. All danger Of another outbreak is
not, however, past

Such decisions us that of United STATES
Commissioner Shreve, in the Trenton Civil
Rights case will put an end to the foolish
"tests by which colored people, in various
parts Of tho country have been seeking to
assert their rights under the new law. Com
missioner Shreve holds that billiard-saloon
is private property, of the same nature as a
liyery-stable, the proprietor Of which has tile
undoubted right to elect whom he shall allow
to use his tables. This accords exactly with
the common-sense views expressed by Ben.
Butler in his recent letter ON the Civil Rights
question. Theatres, inns and public convey
ances are opened to colored citizens, but ia
barber has right to shave whom no pleases,
rs much as a jeweler has right to repair a
watch for whom he pleases or a blacksmith to
shoe such colored horses as he pleases. In
other words, these are not public employ
ments, but private business, in which the law
does not interfere

Wendell Phillips, in an eminently sensible
article on the decline Of American ship-buld-
ing, does away with the idea that the high
price of labor in this country is the principal
cause of the present dullness in this special
industry. He ascribes 1t to the high rates Of
interest commanded by capital in America,
and says, truthfully, that as long as foreign
manufacturers can procure money at half the
rate current in the United States, just that
long will we on this side of the water be una
