CS last Satu. uay morning Governor Har
trauft reached Pittsburgh with large
body Of troops composed of the Pennsyiva-
MIA National Guard aud several hundred
reg ,,lars, most of whom he brought with
hiu over the railroad from Philadelphia.
'tne strike may DE said to have su bstan-
italy ended oy the passage of these troops
over :he "a. *, r., AID since Monday
trains nave been running as usual on the
main line as well as on all other roads on
which the strike prevailed. The largest
poat lion of the troops ate quartered in Pits
bursi and its immediate vicinity, while
small detachments are acting as guards at
different points along ii,e line of the road
to quell any disturbance and secure the
safe and uninterrupted passage of the
trains. How long it may be necessary 20
,ep the military thus employed depends
entirely upoH circumstances. The Gov
ernot viii only withdraw them when he is
Convinced tLoc u is s. fe to DO 80. Il is not
believed, however. that their services will
bs very long reYli.ed, and when peace and
good order are fully restored the questions
f.1ll lhe st.ikep and bias the condition of
the Iaborng mau been Improved? These
questions must he answered in the mega
tive. The strikers have utterly failed, as
they always do, in accomplishing their
purposes, or in forcing the rai,oad conlpa-
nies 10 yield to their demands. BY their
owo acts aud their own sGort-sighted con-
duct, resulting, whether intended or not.
in violent and un'swfdl Interference with
the property Of the railroads, they have
been their own most misguided enemies,
and In .he end will realize the s'u6born
fac, that their last condition is infinitely
vorss than their first. Such has been the
result Of all previous strikes. and
such will be the. result Of similar proceed
pgs for al time to come.

In answer to many inquiries from our
country subscribers, we publish below the
act of Assembly, passed in 184l, in refer
ence TO the liability OF counties for the de-
struction of property by mobs ana riots.
1t will be seen that the act applied only to
the county of Philadelphia, but i'll 1S49 the
law was extended to Allegheny county. If
the value of property destroyed at Pitts
bargh amounts to sig millions of dollars,
as it is thought it will, our readers can
form some estimate of the tax with which
the people Of Pittsburg, as p part of the
county, will be assessed and compelled to
pay to make good the loss. But here is

THE number of miles of railroad tack
of the different roads on which traffic was
at stand i'll during the recent strike is
estimated at r. OG0. or about one seUeRM of
the total track mileage Of the country.
The loss in gross receipts to the railroads
will be at least fifteen millions of dollars.
When we add to this he untold amount of
loss resulting from the almost total suspen-
sion of the business of the country for ten
days, we can form an adequate conception
of what the strike has cost.

Resolutions Of the Memphis CottoI
Exchange.
A general meeting Of the Memphd
Cotton Exchange was held on thl
evening of January sth, to consido
the proposed repeal Of the interest Ia \
of the State. The attendance was unI
usually full, representing the entirl
cotton trade Of the city, and the 70
lowing preamble and resolution, intro
duced by Mr.. w. b. Galbreath, werl
adopted unanimously:
The Cotton Exchange Of Memphi|
respectfully but earnestly appeal 10 th
General Assembly of the State 90 per
init the present conventional interos
law to stand as IL now exists, for th I
reason that experience has clearlI
shown that il is beneficial to both th
agricultural aud commercial interest
of our State, and ought not to bo re
pealed. It is unwise legislation {
attempt to do an impossibil:sy, aud /
all ages Of the world il has been i'm
possible to fix, by legislation, the value
hire or interest Of money in ordinar
commercial transactions. This mus
be left TO the great law Of trade, th&
law of supply and demand. IL tn
State were to pass a law fixing Oh
price of corn, tobacco and cotton,
would be unwise as well as unjust /,
industries Of the people, but not mOrl
hurtful than TO dictate TO its farme
and merchant how much or how littl
should be paid in moving the product
of the soil. The Legislature might
properly declare that it shall be usur
to charge exceeding one dollar pc
bale on cotton, or two dollars pc
hogshead on tobacco, as commission
for selling. Free trade and competi
ton are the only safeguards aRains
high prices and high rates Of interest
and we appeal to the most enlightened
and prosperous States in America and
in Europe TO sustain this proposition
We also appeal to the experience Q
the members Of the General Assembl
under the old law, when conventions
interest was not permitted. This ex
perience will readily recall the fact tha
Tennessee was filled with note shaver
and buyers, whose rates OF disooun
we're from fifteen to twenty-five pc
cent. The repeal of the conventiona
interest law would revive this class
the detriment Of the general publid
and especially to the oppression O
citizens of small capital, strugglin
against heavy aud oppressive taxatio

Resolved, That we call upon ou
in the General Assembly 4
use every honorable means 10 preyen
the repeal of the present interest laws
and we also appeal to the enlightened
Judgment of all the members TO resis
the unwise policy Of disturbing by leg
islation the commercial and busines

bers, which being done, the Constitu-
tion itself declares the consequences.
This bill, then, is only directed TO as
certaining for the purpose and in aid
of the counting what are the constitu-
tional votes of the respective States;
and, whatever jurisdiction exists for
such purposes, the bill only regulates
the method of exercising it. The Con-
stitution, our great instrument and
surety for liberty and order, speaks in
the amplest language for all such cases,
in whatever aspect they may be pre-
sented 1t declares that Congress shall
have power to make all laws which
shall be necessary and proper for car
rying into execution the foregoing pow
ers, and all other powers vested by the
Constitution in the Government Of the
United States, or any department or
officer therein. The committees,
therefore, think that the law proposed
can not be Justly assailed as unconsti-
tutional by any, and for this reason
think it unnecessary, whatever may be
our individual views, to discuss any of
the theories referred to. Our fidelity
to the Constitution is observed when
we find that the law we recommend is
consistent with that instrument.
The matter being a proper subject
for legislation, the fitness Of the means
proposed becomes the next subject of
consideration. Upon this VIC beg leave
to submit few brief observations. 10
all just governments both public and
private rights must be defined and de-
termined by the law. This is essen
tial to every idea of such a govern
ment, and is the characteristic distinc-
.ion between free aud despotio sys-
TENS. However important it may be
whether one citizen or another shall
be chosen magistrate for a period pro-
posed, upon theories ofcivil institutions
it is of far greater moment that the
will Of the people lawfully expressed
10 the choice Of that officer shall be
aDd carried into effect in q
lawful way. 1t is true that in every

GEN. LONGSTREET.
His Views Of the Complications in
Louisiana.

This gentleman has declared his con-
viction that General Nichols has been
constitutionally and legally elected
Governor of the State, and also the
other candidates of the Democratic
party, and that the action of the Re-
turning Board was evidently fraudu-
lent and false, and ought to be made
to yield to the clearly ascertained will
Of the people. 1t does not appear that
General Longstreet has renounced or
changed his political relations to the
Republican party, though he has re-
Gently pronounced very decisively
against the acts and course Of the party
and its leaders in this State.
The Rump attempted to assuage the
anger of the General against Kellogg
and Packard by hurryIng through a
bill to pay large sum to Longstreet
onaccount of militia expenses incurred
during Kellogg's administration. This
concession does not seem to have had
any effect upon the opinions ofGeneral
Longstreet in regard to the validity of
General Nichols election. He thinks
that that is question of fact, and that
no party obligations demand or would
justify his denying or opposing the
same. The loss of Longstreet in this
crisis to the Rump usurpation is an
irreparable one. He has been hereto
fore by far the strongest, most stub
born and reliable defender of War

UNNECESSARILY ALRMED.

The Washoe county people, judging
by the Reno papers, are working them
selves up to fever heat over the action
of the Commissioners of this county on
the. bills presented for trying j. W..
Rover. Ii was falsely reported that the
Rover case had cost this county from
S25, 900 to $4,000, consequently the
ticular in the matter, and, as the Hum
boldt Commissioners showed by COM
parison with allowances and charges
for similar services in this equity, were
more liberal than the law governing
such Cases authorized them to be. 1t
is stated here. upon good authority,
that the Board of Commissioners
allowed every bill presented for the
FIRST trial of Rover in Washoe county
to the Gull limits allowed by law. No
action was taken on the bills presented
as having been incurred in the second
trial, bat we feel confident that they
will also, 10 due time, be allowed. We
would therefore suggest that the
Washoeites keep cool during the hot
weather, lest their anxiety to have
those bills paid should superinduce
brain fever We know they are aver
icious, the fact that they presented bills
for fires aud lights burned at an eve
ming session of the Court, is sufficient
to convince any appropriated person OF
that. Those fires and lights Humboldt,
We are assured, intends to pay for to
the full value of the half dozen candles
and stoveful of wood used, but the
Reno officers should not be too urgent
in their demands for cash for luxuries,
which, it appears, they indulge in
only when other counties are expected
to pay the expense. The fact that
Hum boldt has incurred an expense of
over $4,000 to do justice to j. W.
Rover. ought to satisfy even. Washoe
county officials that it will give them
their just dues.
