Rumored Bargain Between Southern
Republicans and Democrats.

Rumored Bargain Between Southern
Republicans and Democrats.
WASHINGTON, March 51.-It is reported on
respectable authority that bargains have been
already made with three Southern Republican
Senators and thirteen Republican Represents
tives in Congress to act hereafter with the
Democrats on all political questions They
resent their abandonment by President Hayes,
and declare that their personal safety demands
that they make terms at once with the DEM
ocrats. The immediate object is to give the
control of both houses of Congress to the
Democrats. President Hayes friends think
this will only promote dissension among the
whites of the South, and hasten the fruitage
of the Presidents policy.

PHILADELPHIA, April IA general strike is
imminent on the Philadelphia & Reading Rail-
road, in consequence of an order issued to their
employees to sever their connection with the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. To-day
a secret meeting of engineers was held, at
which over $50 members were present. j. L.

Grand Chief Engineer P. M. Arthur and
others. 1t was urged that harmonious action
be taken and no violent resistance made, such
as leaving engines, &c If strike was agreed
upon, the engines should be taken through to
their destination in every case. No formal
vote was taken, but each member was lett to
make his own choice. There was determine
ton, not expressed by vote however, to remain
in the Brotherhood at all hazards. The next
twentyfour hours will determine whether there
will be a strike or not.
The Reading officials say they are prepared
for any emergency, and that they public will
not suffer any inconvenience should the strike
take place. They further say the Company
does not desire to deprive the engineers Of
their benefits, but purposes to establish aid and
endow life and accident insurance fund for
the engineers.
