BELLAlRE LocALs.-Mayor Strahl, in
pursuance to call Of the Governor. Of
this State, Issued a proclamation, Satur.
day last, inviting all good and peace loy.
ing citizens 10 assemble at designated
place at $3.50 p. NJ, in their respective
wards, to appoint committees for public
safety.
The strikers, by the Issuing of posters,
called meeting OF railroad and laboring
men to convene nj the Public Square at I
P. NJ. Saturday evening last, TO thorough.
ly discuss the present deplorable condi.
tion Of affairs; also, 10 ask the citizens to
lend helping hand to expel and keep
from our midst any and all malicious
parties, tramps, or such others who are
inclined to dlsturb the tranquility of our
community. The meeting, through the
sudden inclemency OF the weather, dis.
persed without final action or results. To
be continued this evening at o'clock.
The Democrats held their primary
meeting Saturday last, and elected eleven
delegates to the County Convention,
which will be held at 81. Clairsvilie
Thursday next:
The decision arrived at, at the meeting
Of the Directors Of the Bellaire &Sout6,

suspend all work for the present along
the entire road.

About ten hogsheads Of tobacco ia all

No change in railroad matters. Every

We paid visit on Saturday last to the
newly located homeopathic physician, DR..
4. W. Muhleman, and found him snugly
situated in his cozy little Office. The Doc

commands splendid practice, and seems
to confde fully that the business Of his
Office will increase in the course Of time.
We are Of the opinion that DR.. Muhle-
man is entitled 10 an equal share Of the
practice since he is thoroughly informed,
holding diplomas and excellent recon.
mendRtions from some OF the best Homeo.
pathic Colleges in ths United States.
Since locating here he has been remarka.

engaged in 1t which, least Of all others, Is
fitted to guide and control them properly.
Its a maxim Of history that in all revo-,
lutiOnary upriSings tho violent always
assume and secure the lead.
In the French revolution the conser.
yattye element OF the revolution fell a
victim early in itS progress, and the vici'
Gus element held undiSputed sway. So
it is in all EuCh outbursts. The moder.
ate, intelligent and well disposed element
is bound 10 go to the wall. The railroad
companies Of this country understand
this lesson Of history, and therefore they
hesitate to parley with the uprising now
in possession Of their lines. They be.
lieve that they can better afford to hold
out and take whatever consequences may
happen to them. They know that they
can hold the counties and cities Of
the States through which their
lines pass responsible in damages
for the destruction Of their property, and
this Is u great element Of strength in
their position. They know, too, that
tho business men Of the country are
rapidly becoming solid against the sue
cess Of the strike, and that this oppoSi.
ton Is bound 10 grow in size and inten.
sity every day, and that under its in.
iluence there are nine chances out Of ten
that the uprising will weaken and finally
collapse. They know too that the gov.
eminent Of The United States Is now fully
committed against the strikej- 30 far as
any interference with trains Il conc erued ,
and that an army Of 100000 men, If need
be, will be called into the field within the
next few days. They know, too, that a
bread famine is staring them in the face,
in consequence Of the embargo on com.
merce consequent upon the stopping OF
freight, and that every family thus threat.
ened will inevitably become the foe of the
strike. They know, too, that thousands
Of their late employees are anxious to go
to work and would willingly do SO II
they could be certain Of protection.
All these things are now apparent to
the railroad companies and to the coun.
try, and hence there is daily increasing
probability that no concessions will be
made until after the status quo is re.
sumed on the roads.

There was not single alarm OF fire, nc

Why the Railroads Will Not Com
promise.

Many persons ask why the railroads do
not proceed at once TO compromise their
difficulty with their employees, and thus
promptly restore the business OF their
lines. This is an easy question to ask.
1t is easy to express an opinion in favor
of a compromise but quite an other thing
to act upon il. There is one grand diff.
hculty, to commence with, in the way OF
compromise, and it is the multiplicity
Of demands that have been made upon the
various roads, not only as regards wages
but also as regards number OF rules
and regulations in force upon different
roads which are obnoxious to their EN-.
ployeS, or rather to some portion OF
them. On some lines the simple demand
is made upon the companies to retract
the late reduction on others to increase
the previous pay; 10 abolish certain re.
quirements, aud to do number Of other
things that are peculiar to the business
Of railroad employees. In the aggregate
these demands constitute quite formid.
able budget Of grievances, the proper
consideration and adjustment of which
would require good deal Of time for
investigation and settlement, and the out
come of which as regards mutual accept
unce would be very uncertain.
The railroad companies understand
better than the public can possibly un
derstand, the difficulties that environ ,
satisfactory settlement. They know, tol
instance, their own financial necessitie
better than any one else can know them
They know, too, the character OF III,
mixed elements with which they mus
deal in compromise, and how almos
impossible it will be to evolve ,
settlement that very many Of then
would accept, or, ii accepted, tina
they would scrupulously observe /,
case the result disappointed tbei,
expectations. More than all, the,
understand what serious matter il i. !,
yield the control Of their business unds,
the influence Of terrorism to those VIII,
might proceed to exact new demand
upon them in the course Of a few month
on the strength Of their success in tn,
present emergency. Where, in that even,
would be the discipline necessary to con
duct business Of such immense details
Where would be the security to socict,
that new outbreak would not be accom-
panied by the same incidents that hay,
thus far characterized the present strike
The spirit Of such an 'aprising is moi
naturally appeased by one success. On
the contrary, It's natural tendency IA 10
despite the weakness Of those who Weld
to it, and to prepare for fresh sucoe..,
Such uprisinss are generally within M
Keeping Of that portion Of the elements
