self on all hands, but the terrible scenes
that have been enacted are traceable to a
lower grade of men. They are those who
have neither character nor position to lose

selves amenable to no law whatever. This
is the class whose acts are being disgrace
to Pittsburgh.
At Pittsburgh the organization Of the
rioters seems to have been broken shortly
after the destruction of the railroad prop
erty; and it will scarcely be possible to get
them together again for such demoniacal
doings as ruled during Saturday night and |
Sunday. Large crowds of people yester- |
day were constantly in the neighbOrhOOd |
of the ruins, but mainly from curiosity |
At various places small crowds of roughs |
could be seen collected together talking
over matters There was no boisterous-
ness shown, nor any disposition to gather

The reports OF any compromise with
the strikers are without authority, and
there probably will be no concessions made
by the railroad companies, if at all, until
peace and good order are fully restored by
the arrest Of the ringleaders in the riots.
1t is an unfortunate state OF affairs Tor the
strikers that outside sympathisers came to
their aid, as through them alone are they
responsible for the wanton destruction OF
property.
