ty of the resolutions favored the payment of
the debt, but every proposition looking to in
creased taxation was received with Kisses.
A resolution complimenting the President for
his wise and conservative course towards the
South was offered and went to the committee.
A resolution declaring the public school sys-
tenn burdensome, and that it should De abolish
ed was greeted with Kisses. A motion to pro-
ceed at once to nominate candidate for Cover

THE CANAL RIOT.
The Strikers at Sir Johns Run Dispersed
and Navigation Opened.

The Strikers at Sir Johns Run Dispersed
and Navigation Opened.
BALTIMORE, Aug. "a special from Sir
Johns run, West Virginia, today says that a
detachment of troops and about 125 rifles from
Getty's command from Cum berland Earrived
this morning under Capt. Rodgers with iu-
structions to assist sheriff Mayberry in making
arrests and opening the canal In Maryland.
Opposite this place the company crossed the
river at 10 q. M, and sheriff Mayberry in the
presence of the soldiers arrested the ringlead-
ers of the canal men. The whole proceeding
was under the supervision of Col. Douglass
representing Gov. Carroll here.
A despatch from Sir Johns Run tonight
says that every thing is quiet. No demonstra-
tion whatever was made by the boatmen. Nine
boats have gone up and three down. Nine ar
rests have been made, including the rInglead-
ers. Threats were made the other day that II
the soldiers forced the boatmen to give up the
blockade they would sink some of the boats in
the tunnel In the absence of the ringleade rs
this is not likely.
The seventh regiment of militia numbering
300 left Baltimore yesterday morning for Han
cock, to open the coal blockade and protect all
boatmen who desire to navigate. Regulars un-
der Gen. Getty at Cumberland will cooper ate
with the state militia. Hancock is 157 m lies
east of Cumberland and about 200 boats are
tied up there obstructing all navigation.
Gov Carroll of Maryland received despatch
yesterday from Sir Johns Run, stating that
seven men were arrested charged with the
burning of steam canal boat at dam No. 6 of
Chesapeake Canal July 80, and that canal
navigation is open.

The sou.h Carolina Investigation.

New YORK, Aug. IA Charleston, s. c.,
special says the legislative investigating COM
ceived the bulk of the stolen income of the
state since reconstruction. Every claim had
to pay him from lS to % per cent. During
Moses speakership and governorship nearly a
million dollars passed into his hands fraudu-
lently from the state treasury. The investigat-
of the states floating debt and consolidat
bonds as fraudulent Many members of the
Republican legislature confessed that they were
bribed by prominent Democrats to pass certain
bills. So many leading Democrats (fusionists)
are implicated that an organized effort is being
made to suppress the whole matter and let the
prosecutions already begun against Republi-
cans hang over them as inducements to leave
the state and keep quiet concerning their DEM
ocratic accomplices.

The New York Central and Lake
Shore Railroad i'm Trouble,
The Result of the Strike

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The Sun states that the
New York Central & Lake Shore Railroad is in
uolved in difficulty on account of orders Civ
en- by the officials at the beginning of the re-
cent labor troubles. When Vanderbilt learned
that the men proposed to strike, instead of
waiting for them to do so, he telegraphed all
along the line of the Central & Lake Shore to
stop the trains at midnight and would not allow
them to run until the differences between the
men and corporation had been adjusted.
While the blockade was going on large guam
titles of perishable freight were ruined,
and great numbers of cattle either died from
hunger or thirst and became unfit for market.
If trains had been stopped by the rioters, it
would have been question whether the ship
pers of pershable freight could have recovered
from the companies. but as the officials were
responsible for the detention, the lawyers say
the corporation can be made to pay.

A Significant Vote at the State Convent ON
ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 9-In the convention
today upon the reputation section, Gov. Jen
kns spoke in favor of remitting the claims u ID
on the state to adjudication by the Supreme
Court of the state. Gen. Toombs cham pioned
repudiati on saying the state was not bound for
single dollar appropriated under the recon-
struction government; that it was usurpation
by the aid of bayonets, and the world had no.
tice that the acts of the de facto officers were
without the consent or authority of the people
of Georgia. The section declaring the bonds
illegal, null and void, and prohibiting the Leg
islature from ever paying them, directly or in
directly, was adopted by vote of 166 to 16.
The proceeds of the sales of state railroads are
to be set apart to extirguish the indebtedness
of the state. On that accouHt sinking fund
of 100000 per annum to purchase the bonds
of the state for the purpose of retiring them is

Vigilants Found Guiiiy of Murder.
The vigilance committee, escorted by two
companies of militia, have gone to Wilkesbarre
by special train to surrender themselves on
charges of murder found against them by Al
derman Mahon's jury, and give bail for their
appearance for trial. They took with them
bondsmen representing several millions of dol
lars.
The constables refuse to surrender their war
rants and wish to take the committee before
the aldermen in the 9th ward, which would
therefore go before the judge at Wilkerbarre to
avoid arrest here.
Gov. Hsrtranft, accompanied by his staff
and body guard of militia, arrived by special
tain today. He remained on his car with the
engine attached ready to start at moments
nOtrce.
The companies of militia returned from
Wilkesbarre, having left the vigilantes there.
They return to Wilkesbarre in the morning to
take witnesses against the vigilantes.
Alderman Mahon has been notified to go to
Wilkesbarre in the morning with his witnesses
1t is considered doubtful whether they will go
or not as the alderman claims that his commit
ment to the county Jail is valid and no wit
nesses are required before the court at Wilkes
barre.

TURKEY.

BERLIN, Aug. 9.-It is asserted that Turkey
recently notified the powers of the Porte's will
ingness to conclude peace on the general basis
of Count Andrassy's reform note, but this is
not likely to lead to practical results just now.
Russia is far too strong and too jealous of her
reputation to acquiesce in the Turkish propo-
sition after one or several rebuffs. Austria and
Germany, on the other hand, knowing Russia
is resolved on continuing the war, and if neces-
sary going into winter quarters 10 Bulgaria or
Roumania, hesitate to recommend to Gortscha-
