THE BUSIEST MEMBER OF coNGREs

had an opportunity yesterday of seeing
the busiest mSInber OF Congress at work
went with friend who was from this
members state and he desired TO see him
on business We sent a card to him from
the West lobby of the House of Represen-
tatives, but Gen. b. F. Butler returned an
answer that he was too busy to come out,
but could be seen at his Office at O'Clock
Ia the evening. At the appointed time we
called at the office, a modest little one
story brick building, quite overshaaowed
by his adjoining palatial marble head
granite mansion. There were at least
twenty others waiting for an interview !;
but we were soon shown into a neat and
systematically arranged office where the
General, assisted by two clerks, attends to
his multifarious, legal and legislative bus
| iness. Chesterfield says 1t is the mark OF
petty man to be In a hurry; since IL is an
indication that he has undertaken more
than he can creditably accomplish. Gen.
Butler did not seem to be at all pressed for
time, aud, after talk of thirty minutes,
asked us TO stay longer, notwithstanding
the fact that two members OF Congress had
| sent In their cards and were waiting with
| out. 1 mention this last incident because
| think 1t may be suggestive of the Gene
| rails estimation OF the comparative i'm
portance of a member OF Congress and a
constituent.
There will be a revival of the woman

ters who come here every year, make the

the same resolutions and then adjourn II

thing-business tact, beauty, capital, or
some other attraction. Lydia Thompson
with her haggard, painted, padded beau
ties or the sensational blondes OF the thea

Chicago, July 24.--The strike which
was inaugurated by the switchmen

on the part of the strikers to secure
the aid of the different labor elements

understood that the men would return
and go to work whenever it was
deemed advisable. The mob which, at
times, numbered 1000, but which was
after divided into sections, was COM

Will be paid by the undersigned for
the return of the two ponies described
below.
Said ponies have strayed from my
herd which has been running on Lar
annie river, below Laramie City, for
the past five months. One is a bay,
Canadian pony, very small, generally
plump and fat; has heavy black name
and tail. A perfect boys saddle pony,
the hoof brand ii. G. which he had on
has probably worn out. 1t is possible
that he may have left the herd before
it crossed the mountains, and may be
found east on Horse or Pole creek. The
other is a bright sorrel, two years old,
stud colt; no brand; has star on fore
head, white on hind feet. Has been
seen with the herd on Laramie river.

Bellieerent Buaalonians.


Buffalo, July 24.-The strikers here
have complete control of the situation,
and only permit the mail trains to
leave the city. At East Buffalo the
army of workmen are receiving large
additions to their ranks hourly and
control every venue to the city. The
workmen from the machine shops, roll
ing mills, foundries, ETC., are in SYM
pathy with the strikers, and are join
ing the throng.
The 65th regiment, N. G., were
driven back by the Infatuated mob.
Three companies of the Goth regi-
ment, N. G., were ordered to charge
on the rioters at the round-house, and
in attempting to force back the crowd
fired a volley, killing and ,wounding sew
eral. The exasperated rioters returned
the fire and put the National Guards to
flight. 1t is understood the firing was
without orders. The number of
wounded cannot be definitely ascer-
tanned, and, indeed, it is with the
greatest difficulty any intelligence can
be obtained from the uncommunica-
tive and belligerent strikers. The
gravest fears are entertained for what
the particulars may develop.

Not more than half a dozen of the
demoralized Westfeld company have
yet been seen.
The excitement is increasing. The
mob have driven the men from several
manufacturing establishments in the
lower part of the city, and intend to
close them all up.

AN exodus of colored people to Africa

AN exodus of colored people to Africa
is by no means improbable. Several
meetings on the subject have been held
recently in different parts of the
try, one is announced in New York,
next week at which Frederick Douglass
will give his views. The late Mr..
Sumner had an idea that the colored
race would work out its highest devel-
opment in the West India Islands and
found there a black confederation, but
it may be that Africa is the promised
land.

The railroad strike has become a
workingman's war, and as the railroad
ers of the east furnish a nucleus, the
laboring element of the country rally
to the cry of a fair days pay for u
fair days work" The sympathies of
the mechanic and artisan are enlisted
in the common cause, and those who
represent the capital invested in rail-
roads and manufactures, at last realize
that, to a certain extent, they are de-
pendent on labor. and now behold that
line beyond which they cannot force
workingmen in safety. The labor or
CARNATIONS of the country have ex-
hausted their arguments and now re-
sort to an extreme which brings with
it disaster more terrible than war.

SEVERAL of the state military Or
CARNATIONS of the east, that were sent
neighboring cities for the purpose of
controlling the strikers, are now Or
dered to return, to take care of those
at home. One notable instance is that
of the Seventy-fourth regiment, N. Y.
n. G., which left Buffalo on Sunday
for Hornellsville, orders having been
sent for their immediate return, as the
strikers were too many for the Sixty
fifth regiment, another Buffalo regi-
ment, composed principally of Ger
Mans.

Terre Haute, July 24.-The strikers
control the railroads here, but have
not interfered with the mails. No
efforts were made to carry passengers.
Three hundred miners at Brazil have
rendered the strikers their aid, but the
offer was declined. The strikers to-
day adopted resolutions, soliciting the
sympathy of all classes in their resis-
lance to the encroachments of capital
and deprecating vandalism, and
formed a safety society for ~self-protec-
ton.

THERE is a noticeable absence of
violence and disorder in a majority of
the cities where the strikes are pro-
crossing. With the exception of the
unfortunate collisions between the mil
itary at Pittsburg, Baltimore and Buff
falo, comparative order has attended
the movements of the strikers.

are on duty, doubly armed, and arms

THE apparent reason of the failure
