TIE SITUATION.

Within the last twenty-four hours q
decided change for the better seems 10
have taken place in the situation OF
affairs throughout the country. Peace

ports that matters along that line look
encouraging and speedy termination OF

a strong force along the line OF the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad ss far west as
the Ohio river, for the purpose OF open
ing sud keeping that road open to

The strikers and the Laboring
Glasses.

The New York World makes a strong
point and brings it very torcloly nome 10
the attention of the classes most concern
ed when it calls the attention OF tie
"strIkers" to the confusion and lncalcu-
lsble loss which they are practically nc.
tive III inhicting upon people engaged
in all sorts of occupations. II Is worth
while, the World says, to consider how
large proportion Oft laboring force
of the country is represented by TINS ele-
ment which, acting solely IN Its ewn IN
terest. is exp posing all the rest OF the
laboring force ofthe country to daily ana
hourly loss and Inconvenience. BY the
census OF 1870 the employees OF Gil the
railways in the country, exclusive OF
clerks and officials, numbered lo4,O2'
men. In the nine States which have so
lar been more or less affected by the
pending strikes they numbered oS,o34.
These are the States of Maryland, West
Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New
York, New Jersey, Illinois, Indiana and
Missouri The day laborers IN those
nine States amounted to 5oo,4l4 men
Ii we sdd to the day laborers
the causlmen, the draymen and
the laborers employed in various
trades, we find this number swelled TO
654.S96. IT, therefore, all the railway
EMPLOYEES in the nine States mentioned
were now out on strike every single
man OF them would be intlicting troubles
and losses upon nearly eight other work
ingmea as respectable as himself IL order
to accomplish n purpose OF his own. AND
this without taking into account skilled
artisans and mechanics, men employed
IN sbattoirs and by express and steam
boat companies, stevedores and others
connected with the shipping interests, III
of whom are nee esSsrily and untavoraoIy
affected by the protracted blockade
OF the great arteries OF lnternai commuhl-
cation Upon moderate eStlmaIe, gwen
10 each man OF these various classes An
average of four persons dependent upon
him, we have a grand tOtai OF ~ least
100000 persons in the nine States men
toned whose bread Is interiered with
every day that this strike lasts, IN order
to accomplish the purposes not even Oh
IS, ,534 railway employes-tort the strike
IN the nine States mentioned Is by no
means even general, unless, perhaps,
in West Virginia-but of really less
than half that number. To sum the
case up plainly, then, the interest OF the
res pectable laboring classes of the nine
States now invaded By the railway strike
in seeing it ended is to the interest Of
the railway men who are actually en-
gagged IN the strike in keeping II up Ms
are 5000, 900 persons to 4i,262; or, giving
four dependents to each striker to 22l'-
$40 persons Ii this is not sscrihcing
the community to class, what can de-
serve to be so described?

tors Think About ID.

Cable Telegram to the New York Herald.
LONDON. July 25.-Extraordinarv
anxiety is felt iE all circles concerning
the disturbances in the United States,
The suddenness, rapidity and general
extent of the strikes are regarded as sur
prising and unexampled. The strikes
have made deeper and more painful im-
preston on England than any event
since the outbreak of the war OF secession
in 1861 AS yet neither the English
people nor the newspapers have been
able to form any clear theory Us to the
causes OF the outbreak. The police lind
in London newspapers only cold state
ments, such rs the location OF the riot,
the number of people killed, and the
value OF the property destroyed. The
news papers have generally expressed the
hope that The United States government
would succeed in suppressing the insur-
rection. The DAILY TeLegrGphr however,
thinks the eruption and mlsmansge-
ment OF the railroad managers have given
to the employees the temptation
and the opportunity. Whatever is the
result of the governments interference,
the effect OF the strike must be
CALAMIToUs TO AMERICAN CREDIT
ABROAD.
! A very painful impression Is produced
| here by the otion of Governor Williams,
of Indiana, in dec airing that ne would
not interfere between the strikers and
the railroad companies 1t is the i'm
preston, however, among the more
reasonable portion of the English people
that Governor Williams remarks were
incorrectly cablsd to this country. The
thou.srds of holders of American rail-
rosd securities IN England can not be
made TO believe that the Governor of n
S.ate in the Union would not interfere
TO protect the rights OF property
OUR COUSINS GERMAN ALSO AGITATED.
The HerGLGs correspondent at Berlin
telegraphs that Intense interest prevails
in tie German Capital regarding the
great American railroad strike. Most of
the papers have daily leaders on the sub
iect. The Socialist leaders are loud In
their eulogies of the martyred Mollie
Msguires, and to show their sympathy
for the strikers have opened subscriptions
in their favor. Not much money Is
raised, however.
