~CREDITABLE CARD.
praisewor,hy Action of Strikers.

Erie, Pa, July 25.-The passengers
blockaded here have issued the follow
ing card to the public: I'VE, the UNI
dersigned passengers who have been
detained in the trains at this place
during the past twenty-four hours, wish
to express the Indignation we feel tow
ard the railroad company for what we
have every reason to believe has been
an uncalled for abandonment of their
trains at this point. The strikers here
have been remarkably peaceable and
orderly, and have shown every mark Of
kindness to the passengers, and have
used every exertion in their power to
forward all mail and passenger trains
from this point, and have been pre-
vented from doing so only by the imper-
alive orders of the railroad managers.

The Cabinet was in session two hours
yesterday, and all of the time was occu-

necessary that the Federal government
should take any further action at pres

Cabinet were of the opinion that quiet
will soon prevail throughout the coun-

Scranton, July 25.-The excitement
here is intense. All trains on the Del
aware, Lackawanna & Western road
have been stopped. When the mail
from Binghampton for New York ar
rived there this morning, two passen-
ger cars were detached by the strikers,
who said nothing but the mail could
be allowed to run. Superintendent
Halstead said the mail car would not
run unless the passenger cars were also
permitted, and this made the strikers
very indignant. The superintendent
was firm, however, and the mails were
token from the car, which was promptly
switched off on a siding. The strikers
te~legraphed at once to the state author
tiles that the company refused to run
the mail, and they would run it if ne
cessary, and furnish a fireman and
engineer. A dispatch to the same
effect was sent to the postofiice author
tiles at Washington.
The streets are thronged with men
from the mines, roads and iron mills.

St. Louis, July 25.-This afternoon
a large crowd of striking mechanics
visited a large number of manufacture
ing establishments in the southern part
of the city, and compelled all the en-
ployes to stop work. In addition to
these quite a number of establishments
were closed by the employees voluntarily
quitting work.
The workingmen's party held another
meeting tonight, and marked out a
programme for tomorrow. 1t now
seems probable that the movement will
not stop until nearly all the mechanics
and laborers in the city have either
Joined of their own volition or have been
coerced into it.
The employees of the Vulcan iron
works at Carondelet, numbering e v
eral hundreds, struck to-day.

coln-especially since we are to be
cursed with that political hermaphro-
dite, an Independent candidate:
an every county where there is the
slightest disposition 10 encourage an inde'
pendent candidate, il is the duty Of the
Democratic County Committee to look
sharply TO the local organization. A great
deal depends upon there being FULL
Democratic vote in every part Of the State
at the next election, and clean-cut Demo
cratic delegation In the next General As
sembly, We urge upon the Chairman Of
every County Committee the importance Of
thorough local organization, and invoke
his best endeavor to prevent any disaster
to the regular ticket. II is plain that a
dssorsaniring effort is in progress through
some Of the counties in Northern Ken
lucky, and il must he crushed whenever
and wherever found. We deem il only nee
essary to call the attention Of Democrats to
the fact that an Independent party in Ken
lucky means Republican party in new
shape, and that it will be composed only Of
Republicans and such recalcitrant Demo

Juper LYNCH. Mt Vernon
correspondent furnishes us with full
particulars Of the lynching at that
place on Saturday night last. We
more deplore the state Of affairs that
calls forth the exercise Of mob VIC
lence than we do the violence itself.
The administration Of our laws Is so
lax and the delays Sc freightei with
benefits for the law-breakers, that the
people are almost forced to take the
law in their own hands for their bet
ter protection. There are organized
bands Of thieves and desperadoes all
over the country, that have grown ex'
ceedingly insolent, because they know
the law will hardly be enforced
against them, and If mob law will
better protect us from them than the
laws Of the land do, then the average
citizen, while not openly approving
the deeds of a mob, is bound to thank
them, at least for an improved condi-
ton Of affairs.

For the benefit Of those who may
not have the pleasure Of a personal
acquaintance with the Democratic
nominee for the position Of Represen-
tative for Lincoln county In the next
General Assembly, We have deemed
il proper to make the following sketch;
John s. Owsley, nov in about his 36th
year, is q native Of Lincoln county,
and is connected, both by blood and
marriage, with some of the most re-
spectacle families Of the State. Since
the organisation Of the Democratic
party in 1866, he has been q true and
consistent member, and although at
all times contributing in every legiti-
mate way to its advancement and sup
port, he has never before sspired to
any Office or position. His candidacy
now is mainly the result of solicitation
on the part of his friends and neigh
bors. in his own precinct, who know
his moral worth and social standing.
His life has been devoted 10 agricultu.
raj pursuits, in connection with very
commendable and successful efforts at
improving the stock of the county.
He attempts no show, and claims to
be nothing more than a plain, sensi-
BILE, practical farmer. His character
istics are his sterling integrity. sound
judgment and . conscience that for.
bids the advocacy Of any but honest
principles. He is the peer Of the Gin
dendent" in every thing that goes to
make up q true gentleman and worthy
citizen, and more gifted than he in ev-
cry respect but in the matter Of "gab.'
Such is the man that the Demo
cratic party have thought prop
er to present to the people Of this
county. guaranteeing his fitness in
all material and necessary respects for
the duties Of Legislatiou. 1t remains
for every honest man to vote for him.
