prevention on their part, they will have
to put their hands in their pockets and
make up by taxation the loss occasioned
by the riot. II is considered moderate
estimate to put the total OF all these losses
at 81, 100000. The assessed valuation OF
Plttsburg is sl72, 900, 900. and it contains
a population of lac. 900 persons. many oil
whom, of course, have been thrown out
of employment or subjected to losses and
inconvenience by these scandalous events
The city therefore will have to submit TO
levy on its valuation roll OF s2.6l IN
500 OF taxable property, or rather more
than one-fortieih of the total amount.
This is equivalent TO fine of sS2 10 laid
upon every man. woman and child in the
city to compensate the injured parties or
to an annual impost of 81 p per capita
to meet the interest at per cent. oil bonds
issued to clear the indebtedness. 1t must
be obvious to the meanest capacity that 1t
would have been much cheaper even as
a simple question of immediate outlay to
preserve order and enforce the laws. Now
that the mischief has been done, however,
it would be cheaper for Pittsburgh to EEK

incur the suspicion Of being unwilling to

pose their property within her limits.

ready for fight stood on the bank above. Lieu
tenant Curry was ordering the bank cleared when
the crowd became rebellious attacking the police
with stones. Just at that moment squad of the
Seventeenth district police, who had been nearer
to the Callowhill street bridge, came along to
the rear of the mob, and were treated TO jeers
and q volley of stones.
There seemed to be disposition by the police
not to make any arrests, and on the instant OF re-
ceiying the word "Draw clubs, charge" they
gave shout and rushed upon them. The effect
was magical and at the same time ludicrous In its
demorslz ing effect upon the mob The charge
was magnificent. A tall fellow in the mob assum-
ed leadership; be shouted, You dare not drive
us off this bridge. Before the words were out of
his mouth he was struck two stunning blows. one
on each side of the head. He fell all in heap,
and the officers tramped upon him as they did
upon others in their onslaught upon the horde.
The crowd was moved down like grass before the
scythe and the rioters were perfectly dumbtounded
at the ease and quickness with which 200 deter
mined men had wiped them ont. None OF them
were seriously hurt, but many Of them went home
with broken heads and lesson they did not for
get The tracks were kept clear during the rest
of the day without much difficulty, but Col. Scott
announced that further attempt to start freight
trains would be made for the present.
VINO Is LIABLE AT PITTSBURGH.
From the New York Hersld.)
Who is liable for the immense amount of dam
age sustained by the railroad companies and others
is a question which is beginning to agitate the
taxpayers of this overburdened community A
prominent lawyer of the city states that Alieghe-
ny county is liable for all the damages resulting
from the acts of the mob and that all claims for
damage awarded by courts must come out of the
county treasury. The railroad company is gener-
ally supposed to be liable for the loss sustained by
shippers from the fact that being common carriers
they are insurers; but it seems that q provision
exists in law BY which the acts of God and the
enemies of the State make their liability lnsur-
ers void, and shippers can come upon the county
for every dollars worth of freight destroyed by
rioters. The railroad companies also can collect
from the county every dollar of their loss If they
are SO disposed. but 1t remains a question as to
whether they will resort TO such measures, a. they
would in the end react against them.

The Army and the Riots.

The promptness with which President
Hayes has acted in the suppression of the
riots accompanying the railroad strike
will meet the approval of all intelligent
men and law-abiding citizens. Wherev-
err the United States troops have appeared
as active participants against the mobs
of the last week they have been efficient
in quellin the insurrectionary element
far better than the militia. The militia
lack the discipline and steadiness of the
regulars and are not to be relied upon
when duty calls them to fire upon men of
their city and county. with whom perhaps
they sympatbize and amongst whom they
may have relatives and friends.
While the President is to be commend
ed for his promptness in sending the reg
ulars to aid in keeping the peace where
they were needed. there arises in all parts
of the country the most severe denuncia-
ton against the democratic House for the
refusal to provide means last winter for
paying the army. In their eagerness to
make show of great economy TO the
country the democratic members were
willing to dsband the small army which
we now have. Ii was a needless expense
they said, and so they refused to vote any
money to pay it, and but for the extraor-
binary means which The administra-
xuts t.,nly fo nrnvt Ia IF
ment, there would be no army to fight
Indians, TO protect the Texas border or
70 prevent the sacking and burning of
our cities and the destruction of billions
Of property.
The army has alone saved more value
to the country by its aid in suppressing the
late riots than many times the appropria-
ton needed for its support. 1t is our main
stay in such a time of trouble. Instead
of being a useless expense, it is a neces-
sity, and wise economy and prudence
dictate its support.
at was NATURAL" says the New York
Times" that we should turn 10 the United
States forces when we looked for drilled
soldiers. So far as we have them,
these men are drilled; and they have done
their duty. One thousand OF them are
worth all the mililiamen 50 tar brought
into the service. But. unhappiy, the
United States Army is unpopular with
them who held the the purse-strings in the
last Congress. They left il without any
money tor expenses or for recruiting
Consequently, although we have two In

domestic disturbance to quell, the United
States Army, which is the last resort in
this particular emergency, is reduced To a
