On Saturday last, c. Billings,

manner as to threaten to destroy his
left eye. We hope that no such expe-
rience Is in store for him.
While chopping in the woods q
long distance from habitations on the
9TH Instant, George King had tho mis-
fortune to have his foot caught by a
falling tree and badly injured. After
dlsengaging himself from his perilous
position he had to make his way out as
best he could on his hands and knees,
travelling mile and a half in that po-
sition; though he did try to take a
horseback ride on an OK. which the
bovine would not permit. A local
party made an examination of the in
jured member and decided that one OF
more bones were broken and made the
attempt TO set them but failed. Some

CORN HILL.

The following, from the Troy
Budget, with regard to the late Eugene
w. Bingham, serves to show in what
estimation he was held in business cir
clcs in the city where he resided:
eugene w. Bingham of this city,
who died at New Orleans last Sunday,
where ho was stricken with malarial
fever while prosecuting his duties as
travelling partner of the shirt and collar
house of Miller & Bingham, was buried
from his late residence, Ill Fulton
street, Friday afternoon. The funeral
was largely attended. AS salesman
in the line of goods manufactured bv
his concern, Mr.. Bingham was without
a peer. lie had an extensive business
acquaintance in almost every city in
the Union, and the sales effected
through his personal solicitation
amounted last year 10 more than three
hundred aud fifty thousand dollars.
TO Messrs. Miller Il Bingham, more
than to any other firm, is due the credit
of bringing the shirt trade of Troy 10
its present immense proportions-the
firm of which he was n member alone
manufacturing and selling, in 1876,
goods aggregating in value round
half million of dollars. Mr.. Bingham
possessed many traits of character
worthy of emulation, not the least
among which was his uniform gentle
ness and courtesy towards his employ
ees. He was ever ready to lend will
ing ear to such as sought his advice or
assistance in times OF adversely and
trial, and by them as well as by his be-
reaved family and large circles OF
friends, will be truly missed and
mourned.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 27.-To-dav
the cabinet considered the labor troub-
les. kilograms showed the condition
of affairs throughout the country more
hopeful. 1t was determined that addi-
tional instructions should be issued to
military commanders to insure the ut
most watchfulness and immediate ac-
ton IN case of an outbreak Brigadier
General John Pope, commanding the
department of the Missouri, is senior
officer III the military division of the
Missouri, and during the absence of
Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan will consult with
Adjutant General Drum and General
Sheridan's staff as to plans, movements
OF troops, etc. General Pope has been
ordered to Chicago, and will leave for
Leavenworth Immediately.
WASHINGTON, July 27.-There was a
fresh outbreak to-day among the en-
ployes of the Delaware & Lackawanna
railroad. Strikers say it was caused by
sending bogus message to the engine
dispatcher at Hoboken, that all was set
tied and the men should resume work
and other ordinary trains to be allowed
to proceed. The signatures of the COM
mlttee men to these dispatches were
forged and the strikers feel aggrieved.
1t Is announced they wild nothing to
forward the business of the road until
they receive creditable orders from their
own committee men. The strikers have
received a dispatch from the post
master-general that the government
contract with the railroad company is
to carry mails on passenger trains only.

drawing our outposts, the division left
the round-house inclosure, marching by
fours in column down Penn street.
at was on this march that we lost all
the men who were killed or wounded
during our stay in Pittsburgh, except
the few who were hurt by stones on
Saturday afternoon. We marched at
an ordinary pace and in good order.
We were followed by no crowd, but from
street-corners and alley-ways and win
dows and house-tops we were fired upon
as we marched along, our men return
ing the fire and int1icting considerably
more loss on their assailants than they
received. When we reached Fortieth
street we let go at house from which
an unusually heavy fire proceeded, with
the Gatlings, the only time they were
used. When we reached the United
States arsenal we were refused admis-
sion by Maj. Burlington, the command
ant, on the plea that his doing SO would
bring the whole mob down upon him-a
scurvy excuse and a scurvy trick, as we
could have held the arsenal, admirably
situated for defense, against al Pitts
burgh. From there, after leaving our
wounded in the arsenal, we marched
over the bridge to Sharpsburg, where we
were kindly treated and given food by
the villagers. After march of about
twelve miles we reached a place called
Roses Grove, about o'clock on Sunday
afternoon, and from there, after short
rest, marched mile further to a hill
near Claremont, where the command
bivouacked and remained until they
were ordered by Adjt. Gen. Latta yester-
day morning to return to Philadelphia"

Ohio and Pennsylvania railways from
which all the trouble came-had some
reason in it, and that the men were un-
fairly treated by their employers. This
gave the strikers the sympathies of the
communities along the line of the rail
ways. Thus far the affair was not unu-
sual and caused very little excitement
and would have done no harm if it had
done no good had it been left with the
parties interested-the companies and
their employees; but at this point anoth-
er element entered and taking advant-
age of the sympathy of the people for
wOrkingmen; this new element-which
consisted wholly of tramps and thieves
played the role of oppressed laborers
cOntending for bread. All the destruc-
ton of lite and property that followed
was the work of this element. When
the great mass of law abiding citizens
came to full realization of matters and
satisfied themselves that it was not a
struggle of oppressed laborers for bread,
they put an end to it very quickly. But
the sympathy of the people with the
outbreak and the delay in suppressing
it has cost the country many millions of
dollars. 1t is to be hoped, however, that
this great loss will not have been in vain.
1t is to be hoped that it has taught all
honest men that evils cannot be correct
ed by trampling the civil law under foot.
1t Is to be hoped that it has also taught
the business community that it cannot
afford to sympathise with violations Of
the civil law If it shall have taught all
good citizens that a redress of grievances
cannot be secured through mobs and
riots the lesson may yet be worth all it
has cost. The question of labor strikes
is an old one. Strikes are so certain to
degenerate into riots and mobs that it
is strange that this one had any sympa-
thy. The people of this country should
have known without the costly expert
ment of the past week that mob law
would not accomplish anything of real
value to workingmen. With the sad
results of the past week before them,
the working men and their sympathizing
friends will not likely permit their homes
and families, their country and its laws
to again be ruled for Il week by mobs.

England Scared Mt Our Strike.

Cable telegrams from London report
n great deal of uneasiness in England
over the news of the strikes and riots
III this country. The people of England
have probably not analyZed the subject
and separated the real rail road strikers
from the great mob of tramps, loafers
and thieves. The people of this coun-
try do not draw as distinctly as they
should the line of demarkation between
the real workingmen and the thieving
mob that has destroyed so much proper
ty, and interfered SO basely with nearly
all kinds of business throughout half
dozen great states The success of the
mob Of thieves was mainly owing to the
sympathy of the great mass of the
people with the workingmen, but the
workingmen are not the ones who per-
perpetrated the outragcs at Pittsburg,
Baltimore and Reading England will
allay for fears when she gets the whole
case, and learns that the workingmen
of this country have no sympathy with
the tramps and thieves who composed
the mob and who had no other aim
IN view than that of plunder The mob
took advantage Of the sympathy of the
mass Of the people for the workingmen
and ruled the country for short time,
il is true, but the end come very quick
II when the people discovered that
they were wasting sympathy upon q
band of thieves whonever did an honest
days labor. The hostility of honest
laborers toward the mob was distinctly
shown at Chicago and the determination
with which the authorities opened war
upon the thieves soon made it too hot
for their operations. In Chicago the
trouble was started by thieving tramps
and pluguglies; the workingmen took
no part in it and had no sympathy for
it. To call that band of villains who
paraded the streets of Chicago and drove
laborers from their work the strikers
or workingmen is 4 slander upon work
ingmen. The Joliet Penitentiary does
not contain a worse crowd. When
England learns that this country sym
pathises with its workingmen, but not
with thlevng mobs, and that such
riotous bands will not long exist in de-
tiance of law, and that the government
can and will protect the property of
citizens, then England and England's
capitalists will get over the scare of the
past few daYs.

The Russian press has been subjected

the sacrifice endured by the people III

a constitution The Citizen initiated a
series of political notes for the purpose
of chronicling "deeds illustrative of the

A Week of EyDeriencp.

The past week was one of unparalleled
excitement on ali the railway lines in
the middle states. Internal commerce
was almost entirely suspended during
the week ending with the 2Sth of July
a condition of things never before
occurring in this country, and one that
could not occur without doing great
damage to all business interests To
say that this embargo upon railway
traffic was in the interests of oppressed
labor is as far from truth as it is to say
that laborers were benefited by it.

The War i'm EurODe.

Little news of reliable nature has
been received from Europe during the
past week. The indications that Eng
land will not permit Russia to occupy
Constantinople are such that Russia no
longer doubts it. This course, on the
part Of England, will surely bring on a
conflict between England and Russia if
the latter feels able to risk such a war.
That Russia will succeed in conquering
Turkey, if other powers do not interfere,
there does not seem to be any doubt.
The Turks have suffered their enemy
to take and thoroughly fQrtify three of
the principal passes through the Balkan
mountains, so that the two armies will
in future have equal natural advant-
ages. In. such contest there is scarcely
any hope for the Turks, who are out
numbered by five or six to one.

The comments of the press of the
country on the great riot at Pittsburg
furnish but very little consolation for
that city. That the business commu-
nifty Of Pittsburg is greatly to blame for
the wholesale destruction of property
there can be no doubt Pittsburg will
long regret the day she aided and sym
pathized with a mob on her ST. eets The
Pennsylvania railway company may
have Disseminated against the city, but
the citizens Of Pittsburg committed IL
far greater wrong when they sought ven
geance through the torch of an inftlri-
ated mob. In hundred ways will she
repent for years to come the evil hour
when she sought to right wrong by
defiance of civil law The country will
not sympathiZe with her now when she
mourns the loss of $1,000, 900 of burned
property, which she must replace by
the taxation of that which is left, while
the thousands of families who lived
from the employment furnished by the
railway are also to be supplied with
bread by taxation. There will be no
contributions from other cities to the
support of her poor. When Pittsburg
has buried her dead, cared for her
wounded, punished her incendiary mob,
supported her poor and replaced the
property burned by her mob, by taxa
ton, perhaps she will have thoroughly
learned that the best thing for American
citizens to do is to uphold and enforce
the civil law ut aIl times and under all
circumstances
