The trouble here is confined exclusively to
the Buffalo Division of the Lake Shore. No
trains are allowed to run on that division be-
tween Erie and Buffalo. The Atlantic Ex-
press from Chicago, consisting of four fast
mail cars with heavy mails, two baggage cars
and four well-tlled passenger coaches, ar
rived at eleven o'clock this morning. Accord
ing to orders from Vanderbilt the train was
run upon a side track and declared aban-
doned. The passengers urged the strikers
to run the train through to Buffalo. The
strikers consented, fired up an engine and
attached it TO the train, but in accordance
with an order of the Mayor detached it again.
The Chicago express arrived at $50, with
about seventy-tve passengers, and was run
upon a side track and abandoned. About
ten tons of mail are lying on the trains. The
following dispatch was sent to President
Hayes, signed by a committee of iremen and
brakemen:
The Lake Shore Company has refused TO let the
United States mail 20 east of here. We would be
pleased IL you would in way direct them to
proceed with the mail and also passengers.

lad control of the c., @


The strikers have had control of the c., G.
Il l. c. yards to-day. They appointed yard
master of their own and prevented all freight
trains from leaving. When the $3.50 mail
and passenger train was about to leave the
strikers told the conductor to step down and
out, as they had man of their own to take
the train out. When Superintendent Miller
discovered this he ordered the discontinuance
of the train and sent the mail coach around
by way of Xenia. The strikers made up trains
and furnished crews to take them out, but
abandoned the enterprise. Manager Caldwell
applied to the Mayor for police, but the Mayor
declined TO detail men until a riot occurred.
Gov. Young was applied to and responded
by ordering out twenty-three companies of
militia. The leaders of the strikers to-day
were strangers, and are believed to be rioters
driven out of Pit tsburgh and other places
who have come here to stir up similar
trouble. Additional special police are being
sworn in tonight and there is considerable
excitement. Late this evening the strikers
surrendered the c., g. " l. G. freight yards
to the railroad officials, but said they would
resume control in the morning. There is nc
trouble on the other roads.

The Mayor and twenty police marched to
the Little Miami freigbt-yard this morning

second freight train was made up and sent
out, soldiers accompanying it few miles.
After they had left the train it was stopped
at Alton Station, but on the return of the sol
diers it was again started and went on with
out further molestation. An attempt was
made to send out n train this p. m. on the
indianapolis branch of the Panhandle. The
strikers cOaXcd the engineer and fireman off
and ran the engine into the round house. A
second attempt was made under the prOtec
ton of the military and the strikers put OBJ
structions on the track. These were re-
moved under a guard of soldiers and the
train finally got Off Several shots were ex-
changed, but nobody was hurt.

The passengers blockaded here to-day
issued a card to the public expressing their
indi ignation toward the railroad company
for what they believe to be an uncalled-for
abandonment of their trains at this point
The strikers, they say, are peaceable and
orderly and have used every eXertion in their
power to forward mail and passenger trains,
but are prevented by the i'm perative orders
of the railroad managers. At the strikers
meeting last night a contribution was taken
to defrey the expenses of passengers who
were left without means.

1t is about time that the blatant den'a-

about the heavy burthens of the people.
The people pay fifty cents In the hundred

heavy taxation? Is it hard for a man to

dollars worth OF landp Besides, the tax

the dollar. There is SO much fudge amongst
the demagogues upon this subject that IL Is
enough to make man ashamed OF his coun'
try. Assuredly the State abounds with un'
worthy sons OF worthy sires. The eXag-
geration and the development OF trick thai
are intended to deceive the people and evade
the public obligations arc so Objectionable
and discreditablc that these would indeed
seem to be degenerate days.
We rather think that the day is neal
when the dcmagogues will blush to hear
their own voices. The people must bcSlr
to detect the falschoods and see through thu
tricks OF the candidates for public places
The prevarication and trick only pave the
way to public Office. 1t will strike tho
farmer that this is the object, and little
reflection will show him that the dcma
gogue is really no friend of his. His true
friend is the calm and intelligent statesman
who will tell him the truth, and protect the
rights and the honor Of the State from the
danger brought upon the people by the
demaGo@ucs.

as serious difficulty the doubt as to
whether England would agree with the

secondary position. They want to know
what Mrs. GRUMPY may say. We trust there
