The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1877-08-09

PRESIDENT VANDERBILT, of the New
York Central and Hudson River Rail
road, has issued circular, stating that
of the 1900 employees of that company
less than 500 struck, and no injury was
done to property In recognition of
their fealty, he directs that 100000 be
divided ratably, according to their posi-
tons on the payroll, among all en-
ployees engaged in operating the road.
He says no men, who in time of trial
embarrass the company, can remain in
or re-enter its service, and adds that the
pay will be increased the moment bust
ness justifies it.

CURRENT TOPICS.

THE Central Council of the Labor
League, whose headquarters are in
Washington, have transmitted petition
to the President of the United States,
urging that steps be taken Immediately
to end the existing labor troubles and
restore traffic, law and order. They OPP
pose any compromise with actual riot
ers, or those countenancing riot and de-
clare that the impending famine in large
cities, imminent suffering of the great
law-abiding labor element, loss and ru-
in to the agricultural population, with
undeveloped evils which may result
from present troubles, justify the Exec
utive, on behalf of the whole people, in
calling prominent railroad men-who,
in their fit Of passionate stubborness, it
is said, refuse to listen TO either
reason or the loud appeal
ing of the people-to Washington,
together with the leaders of the labor
organization who have opposedviolence,
that existing difficulties might be COM
promised. The petition sets forth that
any further blind resistance of the rail-
roads, to the detriment Of the business
of the nation, would justify the Govern
ment in taking possession of the roads
and running them in the interest of the
people as well as that of the eompa-
MES.

By the burning of a large cigar-box
mandatory, corner of Eighth Street
and Broadway, Cincinnati, on the Sd,
a number of lives were lost. The fire
broke out in the cellar, and extended so
rapidly through the upper floors that
a number of the employees, who were
mostly girls, were unable to escape.
Some succeeded in getting upon
the roofs of adjoining buildings
and thence to the ground. The names
of the killed are: Mary Nurre, aged
20; Josephine Bry, IS; Mena Keube,
16; Anna Patger, 10; Henry Magg, 16 !;
Frank Stordeur, 20. Stordeur lost his
life in attempting to save the lives of
others, he having bravely rushed into
the burning building, from which he
was unable to make his escape.

ATTITUDE OF E E

Our Greek informant considers it the
reverse CT unnatural that Greece and
Turkey should forget their OLD enmities
and unite against the common foe who
threatened to crush bot1. He has good
reasons to believe that, if England would
Join her, Greece would even 90 to the
length of turning her arm against Russia
and sending a contingent to oppose the
crossing Of The Balkans. But England'a
alliance being seemingly out Of the ques-
ton, Greece had to play a waiting game,
and was only arming to be ready, SO far
as possible, to take advantage of the turn
OF events. 1t, contrary to the general ex.
pectatlon, Turkey succeeded in Keeping
Russia at bay, then Greece would do her
best to remain quiet. This was what the
shrewdest Greek patriots hoped for even
against hope, as it would throw Panslav-
ism back aud give IIelIenism time to ripen
and grow strong. But if, as seemed al
most certain, the Russian advance could
not be checked, then Greece weu'd be
forced to Use, or, at the very least, en-
courage a rising among the Greeks OF ths
Turkish Provinces, though not so much
against Turkey as against Russia, and on
behalf OF herself, in order not TO give her
Russian rival a chance of saying, at the
division of the Spoils, You have done
nothing, SO you can CAIN nothing. II
you had come even at the eleventh hour
into the vineyard, you might have earned
your hire but you cannot reap where
you have never sOWn.'-IImeS.

ENGLISH INTEREST IN DANISH
RAILWAYS.

Our Copenhagen correspondent, ID q re-
cent I%etter, says :-COnsideiing the situa-
tl0n Of the town Of Copenhagen on the
shores f the Sound Ond its double capaci-
~ OF a capital with nearly a quarter Of a
million Of Inhabitants and a staple place
for the trade carried on between the Bal
,ic and the North Sea, it certainly is to be
wondered at that there is no communica-
ton by raj between the rail way station aud
the port and the chance OF getting this
much desired for branch line appears now
to be farther off than eyer, Gu account of
the R~quabbIes between the different author
tiles. Ia the direction Of the Seuland
Railway Company, which is most nearly
cOucerLed, i Violent dispute has taken
place between the managing director, NJ.
RothP, and Commander Wilde, Of the Roy
al Danish Eavy, a member Of the committee
Of control, this officer opposing the making
Of any liue between the station and the
port, a distance Of about a mile, or making
the sutton larger, unless it shall have repaid
the shareholders their money and interest
before the year 1900, when the concession
lapses and the railway becomes Govern
ment property. III. Wilde insists that the
Government and the mint OF COpen-
hagen ought to take q share in the expen-
ses, and has. in view Of this ventualify,
worked out a plan for q line, which the
chief engineer Of the company declared
excellent, while he condemned the plan Of
NJ. Rothe but, nevertheless, at the late
general meeting Of the shareholders, u.
Rothe's scheme was accepted, being sup
ported by the Government, which already
disposes of over nearly one third Of the
capital, while nearly all the Shareholders
present voted for NJ. Wilde. Considering
that q not %unimportant amount OF English
capital is invested in shares 10 the compa-
ny, it may not be without interest to
call attention to the fact, SO THAI English
shareholder may take the necessary steps
to have their interests taken care OF 10 the
general meetings before it is toe late'
which, Of course, it will be when. in a
few years to come, the Danish Govern
msnt are able to dispose Of half the shares
and half the votss.-PaW Mall Gazette.

FIRE IN NEW BRUNSWICK.

The town of St Johns, New Bruins
wick, has sustained q terrible calamity.
A fire broke cut in il at $50 on Wednesday
and burnt all through the evening and
night, ii half the town was destroyed,
and $1,000 people made homeless. The
entire business quarter Of the town has
been burned up, and all public buildings,
while the bookstores were swept away SO
completely that actual starvation vas APP
pretended, and New York and other cities
of the Union forwarded trains of food.
Tents have been sent from Halifax, and
fortunately it is summer, but the people
are represented as almost in despair. The
fire spread among the wooden houses and
great stores of timber with fearful speed,
and the loss was estimated at 93, O00, 600.
This is, let US hope, an exaggerated call
culation, but The suffering must be terrible,
as the city is far from rich, and little
help can be expected from a poor pro-
yiuce.-SPcc.ator.

PRESIDENT HAYES AND THE REPUB.

The proceedings Of he Republican Conven-
tons of Iowa and New Hampshire demonstrate
that whether President Uayes's Southern
policy has been right OF wrong, the Republj-
cars of LOVE and New Hampshire do not APP.
prove it, and We are told thai in all other
States where the Republicans are the majority
it would be similarly condemned, except, per.
haps, in Ohio. The affeo!ionate interest Mr..
Hayes has sh Jwn in bis own State in prOmOt-
ing to Office an army of its citizens would APP
parently save him from an adverse vote in any
Republican Convention in Ohio. Elsewhere
it is not 50. if not expressly condemned, his
policy is passed over in significant silence
nothing is said about him. lie is treated as a
mau who has shut himself out of the true fold,
aud must be given over as a backsider and
unbelieyer. 1t must, however. be added tLst
q distinction is drawn by our Philadelphia
Correspondent ia his telegram of Saturday be.
tween the delegates who are assembled to-
gcihpr to represent the Republican Party and
the people Who stay et home. 1t is asserted
that though The former may condemn, the lat
ter approve, The President is reported to
enjoy hearty popular support at the very mo-
mcnt that the elected representatives. of the
predominant party are expressing their djssa,
t|isfac'ion with him, The recent reception Of
Mr.. Hayes in Massachusetts, and in Rhode
Island may be fairly appealed 10 by those who
hold this position as confirming its accuracy.
In New England, if anywhere, should be found
the strongholds Of Republicanism, and Presi.
dent Hayes has been i6ted at Boston and at
Providence in a fashion 6etokening popular
enthusiasm. How are we to understand this :
Many explanations may be given of the ap.
parent contradictions Of popular feeling towards
President Hayes. 1t may be said that the
hostile attitude Of Republican Conventions
towards him is but another illustration of that
old lesson, often inculGateds but always IN
danger of being overlooked, of the liability to
miscarriage Of our popular methods of aScer-
tanning the temper of a community by electing
representatives. Itmay be argued that though
three. fourths Of the Republican Convention of
Iowa condemn President Hayes, a p~lSdiscits of
the Republicans of Iowa would approve him.
On the other hand. it may be urged that the
popular demonstrations Of welcome lately &C.
corded to the President are misleading if they
are taken as interpreting the opinion of the Re-
publicans Of New England. Even iu the
United States there is disposition to be civil
to a Chief Magistrate, and when poor P resi-
dent Johnson was in the worst edOur With his
party, the citizens of Chicago turned out to
receive him with rejoicing. Then, again,
these demonstration have happened in the big
towns-Boston, Springfield, Providence. The
Rspublicanism of New England is relatively
weakest in its big towns. Inspiration may go

A GRAND ENTERPRISE.

Capt JAMES b. EADs, the engineer Of the
iron bridge at st. Louis, proposes to bridge
the Bosphorus by connecting Pen with the
Asiatic shore. He has prepared plans for
the work, and estimates the cost at from
eighteen to twenty-five millions of dollars.
The project seems to be an entirely practi-
cable one, and would no doubt soon be car
ried into effect by the genius and enterprise
of Americans, should the affairs of Turkey
become settled on that territory, aud pass
under the control Of some powerful govern
ment. When the bridge is erected IL will
open new route from Europe to India.
The Euphrtes Valley railroad would soon
be built, and thus large portion of the
commerce Of the world would be thrown
into new channel. This view of the sub
ject will give England additional interest in
the result Of the war between Turkey and
Russia.

NORTHERN DEMAGoGUEs REBUKED.
From the Richmond State;


The Democrats at the North are deeply
dyed In Bourbonism. They have lost sight OF
every living issue, and bound themselves hand and
foot TO the Of the dead past Taking up tho
cry Of the merctricous New York Sun. only raised
to delude and mislead them. they drown the voice
Of reason with their loud cries Of Fraud, fraud,
fraud" Ask them about any live issue. and their
answer Is that the great fraud by which Hayes was
counted in oycrshndows every other question.
They are monomanacs on this subject. and Il is
useless to argue with such madmen but we re.
grct 10 see that some OF our Southern papers and
politicians have become tainted with the same sort
Of insanity, which, II 1t becomes confirmed, can
only lead to political death. The country has gone
ahead nearly century In experience since last
February and the political Us well as social aspect
Of affairs has changed and we are now In the very
midst Of events before which such questions as the
defnct issue OF the electoral count sink into utter
nothngness, and tho men who would stop 70 dis
cuss such trivial matters when there arc real
issues should be and will be left behind In the
race. The South will take no stock IN this folly.
II the question Is attempted TO be sprung at the
coming extra session, we believe the members Of
Congress from our section will be found almost q
unit against Its discussion.

doubtful honesty. They will hereafter
realize the fact that all their movements
are watched by the keen ewes Of hundreds
Of shrewd newspaper correspondents, and
TINT nnv misconduct they may be guilty Of
VIII bog ven to the whole nation upon the
wings o, the lightning in few hours.
The experience Of the last few years has
taught our public men valuable lesson,
aud they are now beginning to realize how
completely the telegraph and the special
correspondents keep them under popular
surveillance. While absolute purity and
integrity need not be looked for In Congress
as long as human nature remains unchanged,
It is certain that the press, through its
trained special correspondents, has made
violations of duty exceedingly perilous,
We may, therefore, justly expect increased
purity and integrity in the management ol
our national affairs.

CONGRESS- AND THE PUBLIC PRESS

The importance and influence of the
National Government have vastly increased
during the last sixteen years. This increase
OF power has been accompanied by an in
crease in the popular character of the Gen
eral Government. The telegraph and the
daily press have brought Congress directly
In constant contact with the people of all
sections of the country. The proceedings
Of Congress and the actions of the Govern
ment are reported daily in all the leading
cities and towns of the nation. The people
Of the entire nation can now watch the
proceedings OF the Government just as well
n though they resided here, for what trans
pires in this city is known to the dwellers
In the remotest ends of the Republic as
soon as to those who live in sight of the
Capitol.
This condition of things will have great
influence in rendering the National Govern
ment pure, aud preventing the abuse by
Congress of its legislative power. We may
mfely predict that Congressman will not
soon repeat the experiment of organizing a

VERMONT REPUBLICAN SENTIMENT.
From the Et Albans Messenger.

The papers all over the country, In Yer
mont no less than elsewhere. have been copying
what Mr.. Y. " smallev, the New York Tribun6s
correspondent, wrote from Bennington about the
dislike of the Presidents Southern policy by ma
Iority Of Vermont Republicans. Ii has been as
sumcd that he was correct, partly because he
that he had made particular Inquiries among the
men of Vermont who gathered n Remington
taken. For three months or more we have con.
versed on politics almost every day. and often
many times a day, with oil classes Of Vermonters
though We have taken no notes with reference to
making an accurate comparison, we are satisfied
that the Republicans uphold and rejoice in the
policy three to one. The only opposition that we
discover comes from u class Of comparatively
young men, who came into politics about the time
have to believe the party invincible II Il will
only enforce Its ideas
