The employees of the five railroads that

tho strikers, but the officials have not thus
far had reason to apprencnd any trouble Four
OF the roads do only 4 small freight business,
and their forces are too scattered to organ
successful strike. The other, the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Company,
controlling the route from Now York to Springfield,
ard also tho Shore Line road from New Haven cast
ward has about three hundred freight in all, and
If trouble occurs any road II will be
this one.
REDUCTION CONTEMPLATED.
Fircmen and brakencn receive $45 per month, but
ten per cent reduction is said to be contemplated,
and this tends TO make the rcslve and increase
their sympathy with tho general movement They
thus far rcticent, but somewhat excited to-
day over report that the Boston and Albany men
would strike at three O'Clock this afternoon.
THE COMPANIES READY.
O1lcers Of two Of the roads stated to your corre-
spondens to-day that they did no. apprchend strke
but If occurred the places OF tho strikers could be

THE postmaster as convention
manager, is no more; even ''Boss
Keyes has had to succumb. We will
not say whether his management has
been good or bad; it is certain that he
had many enemies among the Repub-
lieans and that, even if Hayes order
had not been issued, it would have
been better for the party to have him
step down and out. And. at this par
ticular time, when the Republicans of
this State can lily afford to engage in
family quarrels. it is very fortunate
that such leader as Horace Rublee
could be found. Gentlemanly, shrewd,
active, and free from all entangle-
ments with cliques, rings, and regen-
cies, he is pre-eminently the man TO
lead the Republican host to victory !;
and that he will do so, we doubt not.

The third annual convention of the
American Bankers Association was
held at New York, on the 18th instant,
the gentleman calling the convention
to order expressing the opinion that
the time had come when some legisla-
ton was required, when the burdens
with which banking business was
trammelled should be dispensed with
forever. 1t strikes us that the bur-
dens with which the banking business
is laden are light compared with those
imposed upon other pursuits.

JUSF at this time, when many peo-
pie are signing over the degeneracy of
the times and for a return of the
good, old days when Democracy
reigned supreme, it may not be amiss
to state the fact that during the adj
lGinistratiOns of Washington, Adams,
Jefferson. Madison, Monroe, and j. Q.
Adams, only sixty-four removals FROM
office were made, while Andrew Jack
son, by whom some people still swear,
INDUCED in removals to the number
of four hundred and ninety-one in the
course of one year. Since that time
general elections have been scrambles
for office rather than contests for
principle.

DEMOCRATIC papers seem to be very
much elated over the fact that Repub-
lIcans are not united on the Southern
policy of the President and the Civil
Service reform instituted by him. Ex-
actly where the comfort comes in, we
don't know; for the Democrats
certainly know that no Republican.
even if he doesn't quite agree with
Hayes, will bid adieu TO the Republic
can party at once and hasten to enroll
himself under the Democratic banner.
If they don't know this, they will
learn a useful lesson on the Tuesday
succeeding the first Monday in No

IT is asserted that the financial pol
icy adopted by France is substantially
the same as that being pursued in
this country, France reducing her cir
culating medium much more rapidly
than Is being done here. France is
now practically at specie payments
and would doubtless formally resume
but for the unsettled condition of the
silver question which is far more dis
turbed there than here.
