The shooting OF those delenceless pris'
oners Ia the essence Of tho Hamburg al
fair; the provocation goes for nothing.
That brutal murder excites the North
and makes them think that We are recon.
structed on our legs but not in our hearts.
Those men who shot those defencelesS
prisoners-and we take no hesitancy in
saving so-should be punished, or Ihe
next Legislature should pass IN amend.
ment TO the game laws, making it q misde-
meanor to shoot negro between the 18th
Of April and the 18th Of October. Let
them have an equal chance with quails
and snipes. But that is not tho worst Of
il. Is Il not the duty Of every leading
journal to condemn such action; do they
not indorse such action by their silence?
Tho Nety and Courier came boldly for.
ward and denounced the shooting Of de.
fenceless prisoners as an outrage on hu!
manity. Leading journalscall the reports
OF the Neus and Courier tissue OF lies;
have they ever denied that these prisoners
were shot; have they even shown US
wherein the statements Of the NeES and
COuricr we're false? Give us bill Of par.
ticulars, il you please, not about the pre-.
liminary circumstances Of the conflict,
but about the shooting Of the prisoners.
Don't go off on side issues; take it for
granted that EdgeGeld and Augusta have
u right to take arms from those to whom
the Constitution guarantees the right to
bear arms, can you justify the killing Of
the prisoners, so.Called? That's the
point, and no other, The silent endorse.
ment OF the murder shows to the North
ern people that we are not sincere in our
professions. Those who endeavor to
cover up the criminality Of the act are
electioneering for Hayes and Wheeler,
and gain for them 10000 votes in the
Northern States where they gain one in
South Carolina for Tilden.

Meeting OF WorIingmcn In
T0InpkinS Square.

New YORK, July Sl.-About one
thousand workingmen met in Tompkins
Square to-day, declared that thirty thou.
sand men are out Of employment in this
city, are daily hunting for work without
success and are living on the charity Of
their friends and neighbors, then formed
in procession, and, headed by fifteen
policemen, marched 10 the Mayors office
in City Hall.
A committee waited on the Acting May
or, Commissioner Of Public Works, and
Comptroller, and reported that each
promised to do his best to alleviate the
prevailing distress.
The Longshoremen struck today for
an increase Of wages. The police re.
serves are out to preserve tho peace.

Our New York dispatches this morn
ing make mention of demonstration
yesterday in that city on the part Of un'
employed laborers. There was u similar
demonstration few days ago in Cincin-
natl, and no doubt every city in the
country can show more or leAA Of such
scenes in embryo. There are large
number Of people out Of employment in
the country who are really anxious to
work, saying nothing of the army OF dead
beats who mako 1t convenient never TO
find work. There seems To be no remedy
for tho evil from which the unemployed
are suffering. No resolutions on paper, nn
amount Of political speeches, can reach the
case. II results from tho great depres'
sion that prevails not only in this conn-
try but in Europe. Such scenes us We
refer to in New York and Cincinnati
are witnessed to-day in the cities and
towns Of England, Germany and Austria,
Hard timcs is the cry in all these coun.
tries. Their industries are under the same
cloud as our own, viz; that of over.pro.
ductiOn and reduced consumption. Moth.
ing but time can bring us out Of
our troubled. The day OF revival will
come finally but as yet 1t does not
seem very near al hand. This is ..ths
Presidential year-a year always bad for
busiuess-and just at this time the dePres.
sion is as great as at any period since the
panic. We notice in yesterdays Pitts

city on Saturday last that show very
great depression indeed-decidedly great

would easily have sold for. halt million

other words, did not bring 20 cents on the

does not show anysuSh depreciation here.

Tho Capital Question.

There is no doubt Of the fact tina t
Charleston and Wheeling are the two
sensitive points as regards public feeling
on the Capital question. The status Of
all other communities Is purely one Of
sympathy-sympalhy moro or less active
sympathy largely controlled by proximi-
", Tire counties Of the Third district sym
pathize with Charleston, and those that
border OH Kanawha county partake
somewhat Of her excited local feeling.
Further away the feeling is passive, and,
still further away, almost Indifferent
Aud this is true Of the First District
TO certain extent. The explanation
Of the passage Of the Minority report at
ParkerSburg is found in this feeling. So
far as the general feeling throughout the
State is concerned, its status is we'll shown
by the suppression Of the whole matter
In the Committee on Resolutions, where
the subject was debated long and warmly
until late hour in the afternoon, aud
where the Minority report was over
whelmingly voted down. The counties
that were thus represented in the Com
mittee and that voted against the Minor
ity report contain two.thirls Of the pop.
ulntion Of the State, the ratio being, 40
cording to the report to the State Senate
last winter, 34l, ,6SS to l92,77s. This shows
the status Of the public feeling in regard to
the Capital question. Tho representatives
Of S4l ,G3S people were willing to let it
rest rs it now stands, but the representa-
tivcs OF the 1878 were determined TO
have an expression on the subject. Once
The matter was brought before the Con-
yention il assumed u very different
phase from what it did before the Com
mittee. The proposition was simply this
As argued :by'Mr, sturgiss, Judge Smith
aud others, viz: shall the question of the
permanent location Of the Capital be re-
mitted to the people for final settlement,
or shall ii be Sgitated year after year in
the LEGISLATURE The special point made
by the latter was this, are we afraid to
trust the people on this subject2 Do we
want to keep it in the hands Of the pol.
iticians all tho timer These were the
questions that were followed up and elab.
GRATED, and pressed, by the various
speakers from Kanawha who addressed
tho Convention on the subject. An issue
was thus made before the representatives
Of the people throughout the STATE
as to whether they were willing
10 let their constituents vote on the
subject at some future day. They
were appealed to to let.their own people

THE EASTERN QUESTION IN PARLIAMENT.
In the House Of Lords in the discus
sion on the Eastern question, it was
moved that the government should be
ready TO support measures for uphold
ing the treaty Of 1866. Earl Granville
questioned certain acts Of the Foreign
Office, and expressed himself in favor OF
the local self.goyernment in the Turkish
provinces. Earl Derby replied that the
future policy Of the government would
be to enter into no doubtful scheme. The
motion was negatived.
In the House Of Commons Mr..
Bruce, in a speech referring to the
outrages in Bosnia, moved as the opinion
Of the House Of Commons that the Gov
ernment should attempt to secure equal
treatment 10 those persons Of the various
religions under the authority OF the
Porte. Mr.. Forsyth moved TO amend to
the effect that the Schlavonic provinces
guaranteed good government irrespective
Of race or creed. Mr.. Gladstone favored
the amendment. In his speech he GEN.
sured the Government respecting the
Andrassy Berlin memorandum. He
hoped that in the inquiry into the alleged
atrocities in Bulgaria now max
ing there would be an actual
inquiry and that Europe would act in
concert. Self government was necessary
in order to bring about solution OF the
difficulty. Disraeli justified the gorern-
ment. He favored non-interference in
Eastern troubles. When itbeCame neces.
sary the government would assist in the
pacitication Of the provinces. At length
the motion and amendment were with
drawn.
A special from Widdim says: HOtiz
Pacha entered Servia on the Goth inst.
At Granada he encountered 1900 Servi-
ans, and after four hours fighting the

Pacha Joined Ahmed Eyoob Pacha at
Dorbant on the 30th, where he attacked
the Servians. A great battle occurred,
which lasted all day, but the result is un.
known.
The Turks under Sulma Pacha entered
Servia near Pandesella, where they en-.
IL Servian battalion with
twelve guns. After sharp battle the
Servians fed, throwing away their guns.
The Turks continue their advance. Sixty
Russian officers are expected at NissR to
enter the Servian army.
A Berlin special states that Austria
seems determined to annex Bosnia. Count
Andrassy admits the necessity Of such a
policy. l

HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, July 81,
Report ON Naval Annirg.

Immediately after the reading OF the
Journal, consideration was resumed Of
the reports Of the Committee on Naval
Affairs, and Mr.. Whitman advocated the
majority report.
The resolution reported by the msjori-
ty Of the Naval Committee, referring
the case OF the Secretary Of the Navy to
the Judiciary Committee, was adopted.
The minority resolution was rejected;
yeas SO, nays 1l5.
Under call OF the States u number OF
bills were introduced and referred.
INDIAN SUPPLIES.
Mr.. Randall, Chairman Of the Com
mittee on Appropriations, reported a bill
appropriating $l50,000 for the purchase
OF Indian supplies until the regular In.
dian appropriation bill becomes law
and to authorize their purchase in open
market. Passed.
He also reported bill extending ap-
preparations for various departments Of
the governmentuntil August, Passed.
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT.
The Speaker laid before the House
message from the PrcsldenL pointing out
some Of the defects in the Sundry Civil
Appropriation Bill, in making made
quatc provision for some branches of the
public service and none at all Tor other
branches, among the latter being the civil
service, light houses, revenue cutter service
and public buildings, and among tue
latter being the proportion OF the Gov
ernmcnt for the expenses OF the District
of Columbia, judgement Of the Court Of
Claims, examination Of the rebel records,
&c. He did not feel warranted in veto
ing an absolutely necessary appropria-
tion bill, but in signing it he deemed II to
be his duty TO show where the RESPONSE
bility belonged for whatever embArrass-
ments might arise in the public service.
Mr.. Randall said he had no objection
to the President putting in as many OBJ.
jeCtions as he saw fit, il he would only
sign the bills reducing the expenses of the
government and assist the House in its
great effort in that direction. The Pres
ident, in some OF his statements, shows n
lack Of information. He finds fault
without reason whatever. For one, |
accept the issue presented by the presi-
dent, and l am willing that the people
shall have an opportunity OF judging be-
tween his dictum and the action Of both
branches Of Congress after close exam
ination.
Mr.. Hale defended the action OF the
President.

A communication was referred to the
Appropriation Committee.
Mr.. Glover, chairman OF the real estate
pool, made nm effort to get in his report,
but did not succeed.
Bills for the Commission 10 take into
consideration, relative to the value Of
gold, silver, &C., were introduced by
Aiessrs. Hewitt, Cox and Gibson, and
referred 10 the Committee on Banking
and Currency.
Mr.. Cox expressed his hope that the
would be able 10 report by to.
The reading OF almost all the bills in.
troduccd to-day was insisted upon by Mr..
Kmson and others, to prevent any meas
nre for the repeal Of the Resumption Act

it would have brought three years ago.
Wheeling has thus FAR come through the
panic in very fair style. She feels 1t
severely Of course, but up to this time
her factories have nearly all kept going,
and we are in hope that the abundant
harvests now being gathered throughout
the West will tell in our favor in the way
OF a.good fall trade.
