COLUMBUS, July 2S.-The Mayor al the
head OF squad Of 20 police marched to
the freight yard this morning for the pur.
pose Of sending out train on the L. NJ.
X. K. AT the depot they met three com.
panies OF military, who were passing
through the city on their way home from
Newark. They were invited to remain
in the city until the trains had been sent
out, which they did. The train was made
up in the midst Of an immense crowd of
people. The strikers stood around and
put forward every inducement to the
crew 10 abandon the train, offering the en-.
gineer one hundred dollars TO quit the
engine, but to no effect. No violence
Whatever was used and no attempt was
made 10 uncouple the cars. The train
left about i o'clock.
Three strikers were arrested earlier in
the day for running an engine from the
yard into the round house.
SOME DIFFICULTY.
A second freight train on the Little
Miami road was made up on the west side
Of the river and sent out, the soldiers ac.
companying it few miles out. Al Alton
Station the train was stopped by strikers
from here after tho soldiers had returned.
The military were Immediately sent TO
Alton and the train started again, and
continued unmolesled.
An attempt was made about 3 o'clock
to send out train on the Indianapolis
Division OF the Panhandle road. The
strikers coaxed the engineer and firemen
oil and ran the engine into the round
house and put out the fires. The military
were guarding the train at the time.
In the meantime the engine was again
tired up and another attempt made 10
get the train out. The strikers switched
gondolaS on the track, between the engine
and cars, and while the train was backing
down the obstructions were removed un.
der a guard OF soldiers and the train
finally got out. Several shots we're fred
at random between the soldiers and crowd,
but no harm resulted. The alarm bell
was sounded and the citizen guards called
out but there was no violence. Tonight

CHICAGO, July 20.-The Tribune

Regiment, Gen. Lucas commanding, ar.
rived 'there this afternoon. They were
reinforced along the line Of the Chicago
4 Alton Railroad, until the whole force
OF troops amounted to about 1,l0O, witt
artillery and small arms. Their mission
is to relnstate some 400 colored miners
who, when the regular coal miners struck
some months ago, were gathered up in
Kentucky and Southern Illinois, and
took the places Of the strikers, and they
were unable, though armed, to main
tain themselves against the hundreds Of
determined white miners, and were
driven out Of town lately to Wilmington
where they are now. The Mayor was
summoned, aud ordered to disperse the
crowd, which he did easily, and the mill,
tia then stacked arms and encamped for
the night.

.Ronnd for the Bill.

ZACH. CHANDLER, in his telegram to
STEARNs, Of Florida, informing him OF the
several things that were to be done, includ-
ing the prevention Of Democratic frauds and
the certain returning Of the State for HAYES,
said: "Sparc no expense to cover these
points, and keep me advised" This clearly
bound the Secretary Of the Interior, and as
the course OF policy pursued BY CHANDLER
was no doubt dictated in Cabinet, it bound
the Administration to pay the bill, whatever
it might be. Spare no expense" author
lied STEARNs to s:go the whole hog" and
bound CHANDLER to pay the bill. This was
not an order to control an election at the
polls. but to sec that the votes were
properly brought IN, in spite OF the
dishonesty of the Democrats, and that they
were properly counted; for which service
the Administration would pay any amount
that it might cost. Thirty years ago this
bold message from 4 Cabinet officer would
have excited storm Of indignation in this
land that would have driven him into exile.
Now the corruption OF the public service is
such that it occasions no surprise. but pco-
pie wonder that CHANDELIERS rascality should
have been so bunglingly performed as to
be so easily exposed. He looks mighty bad

The I,eeches Hold On.

The Radical party having reasoned them-
selves into the idea that they were the na-
tion-that the Government would be ruined
mother hands than theirs-and that. they
must hold on to the offices, and the pickings
and stealings thereof, "sto preserve the lie
Of the nation: are reluctant, OF course, 10
trust any plan which leaves a doubt as to
whether they will be permitted to
hold on to what they love so much,
for The public good that comes from
their holding on. The better ana more
decent portion OF them cannot deny the JUS
tice Of the plan Of settlement; but the MORE
feroclolIs, led by, MORTON and SHERMAN,
cannot tolerate the idea at oil. The Govern
ment is theirs, and in their view it is the
grossest outrage upon the nation and the
Constitution-which they have steadily
violated for sixteen ycars-to seek TO
decide the presidency by any scheme
that affords the least chance for the
success OF that party which is called rebel
BY President GRANT. These excellent and
patriotic gentlemen deem that justice itself
is villain for interposing any chance nd
verse TO their own immaculate selves and
the official power and prog that belong to
them. It is mighty bad to discomposc these
admirable persons. But we fear that these
leeches are to be dragged from the almost
exhausted body of the State and stripped
and sent back to their local mud-ponds,
there to end their unhappy careers.

unusually large Tor tho time OF day. 1t was
composed OF the most responsible and In

a, very proper speech. During the absence
OF the committed to prepare resolutions
Judge oyLp was called before the
meeting aud made a speech strongly
supporting the plan OF settlement
The proceedings viii be found IN
our local department. The preamble anu
resolutions were adopted with t,oo dissent
inc voices, which seem to have been 'lme-
Gus enough to give the action Of the meet
ING an emphasis which, without theth'
yould have been lacking. ssf
AS Richmond goes, so go the people
everywhere in Virginia, and, as we be-
licve, in nearly all parts Of the Union. y
is the line OF common sense and common
patriotism. It is the line that avoids vio-
lencc and secures peaceful solution OF the
uerilous condition OF the country.

About War.

Judge JERE. BLACK, commenting upon
the apprehended danger OF civil disturb
ances which the electoral bill might prevent,
said:
"Either side is willing to fight if it
thinks the other won't. Neither side is will
ing to fight if it thinks the other will"
Tolerably accurate. 1t is amusing to
think Of the embarrassment that might fol-
low an error on the part Of each in sup
posing that the other would not fight, and
therefore entering the field in the panoply
of war. Fancy the situation. Would each
bow to the other "good morning" and
about face?
But the occasion for war-talk is past. The
civil and peace plan is now in order, and
this will dispense with force, and even talk
of war.
