THE HERALD has paid unremitting
attention to the different phases of the
great railroad troubles, which have ca .
isted for the past few days, In our
issue of yesterday, TIE HERALD
assured the public that the. reports of
the trouble on the Central railroad had
been exaggerated, aud the assertion has
been fully verified ss the course OF
events. We predicted that no
general strike was or would be put m
operation. and tlat the. ollioera of the
road, as well as tie employ
ees, were both imbued with
4 spirit of fairness and conciliation,
which would enable mutual under
standing To take place, when the High
contrasting parties came together at
Houston to-day. @ .ssf
We are glad TO announce to the pub
Ii, that everything is harmonious and
there Will be no strike ON the Central.
Ia evidence of this We give the follow
ing dispatch, received from Houston
