The apprchcnsions Of trouble in tins city
from the workingmcns meeting in Iomp-
kins square, last night. were not realized,
though there was a small -quabblc with the
police in Eighth street after the close vi the
meeting. The meeting itself passed or
pcaccably; the speeches were not of an
alarming nature; the multitudes in the
square dispersed soon after ten o'clock and

was stationed near by, for use in the event

meanwhile, passenger trains have been al

passed peacefully. the police dispensing
all crowds fast as they gathered,
aud arresting some thirty persons al
legged to bc ringleaders. Early Yesterday
morning passenger tram ran on the
track near Elmira; it was found that the
rails had been tampcred with. Happily
there WAS no loss Of life or serious injury.
At Hornclsvillc, the strikers and the rail
road officers have come together to talk
over plans Of settlement and compromise,
and it is reported that concessions have
already been made ON both sides. Both

When property is destroyed in riot the
city or county in which the riot occurs has
t. pay the damage Such is the law.
After the draft riots of 1858 in this city the
demuges done to private property were 49,
cctaincd to be-, in round numbers, Sl.7jo.Uo;
and that vast sum was paid out Of the cit
treasury to the persons who had been dam
aged. II was paid to them in money either
borrowed 10y the City Government or added
10 the taxation Of that year; thus AT the
end, the loss in that ease fell upon the tax
payers. There it must fall in every such
case.
In the same way. the property which has
now been destroyed in Pittsburgh, Buffalo.
Baltimore, and other places, will have to be
paid for by the taxpayers OF those places.
The reason for this is evident. II is the duty
OF every city and every county to protect
property within its limits; and when
through neglect Of this duty or through
the incompetency Of the proper authorities
u perform it in an efficient manner, the
property is destroyed, the city aud county
which has thus failed to do its duty must
make good the damage which has resulted in
consequence OF its failure.
such damages are paid 10y the taxpayers
l. it the rich man. No; because he has
more means to pay his part with and has
accordingly TO diminish, only to a compare
lively small extent, the usual comforts Of
his mode of living l. 1t the man of small
income who is well established in his bust
ness No; the added taxation causes him
Inconvenience, but 1t does not turn him out
OF house and home. Upon what kind of men,
then, does taxation for property destroyed
IN riots most severely weight We will AN
swer this question plainly, for 1t is ques-
tion of Importance just at present.
There are two sorts Of men affected more
inluriously than all others by the destruc-
tion of property in riots and strikes; and
they are, first, laborlng men with no other
capital than their skin ami their industry;
and secondly, young men without capital just
beginning in life and anxious to improve
their condition The laboring men suffer
first from IA, general paralysis which riots
and strikes cause in all kinds Of labor and
of business. They want work, and there is
no work for them to do because the strike
or tine riot has stopped work. They want
bread and clothes for their children, and
they can earn bread and clothes no longer,
because the general amount Of work TO be
done has been 80 fatally diminished. At the
sanc time the rent Of their poor habitations
has increased, because taxes have increased /,
and in the same way the price 1T all the
ncccs-arln- II life Is enhanced because Of
this new taxation Therefore we say that
those who suffer- the most painfully from
the elects OF rluts aud of such strikes as are

discovery of mine of mineral soap, which
can be used for all the purposes to which
manufactured soaps are applicable. The
discoverer found it when prospecting for coal,
and used it in his family for year before an
nouncing it. 1t is now, however, taken up
by company, and will be brought into COM

somewhat inaccessible part of the coast, is in
close vicinity of a stream, and it was from
the fact that pieces of the stone which fell in
to the stream were observed to melt away, that
the properties of it became known. The soap

said to be very great.
