Pennsylvania Labor Troubles.
- Indications are that the labor troubles
in Pennsylvania have not yet come to an end.
A special dispatch from the mining districts
says:
The strikers of the Lehigh regions have re.
solved on general uprising if the military
make their threatened arrests. Five thou.
sand members of secret orders are drilling
with weapons in Hyde Park, in the suburbs
of Scranton. The Molly Maguires are trying
to induce the railroad employees to unite in a
general strike September 18th, but the rail.
road men have had enough of strikes. The
miners in the bituminous regions of Clear.

in wages corresponding with the advance in
coal. A party of disguised men recently Wis.

Patterson Quaking.
"A Washington letter to the Baltimore
Sun gives the following respecting Senator
Honest John" Patterson:
"Senator Patterson and quite number of
other South Carolina refugees from justice are
hanging around here, and seem to think this
is sanctuary from which the hand of the
law cannot snatch them. Patterson follows
the example of Wells and Anderson and
seeks consolation for his troubles in frequent
interviews with the President. Just after the
presidential election last fall, when it was
that certain prominent Democrats
should visit South Carolina to see fair
count Patterson proclaimed very loudly in
public places here that if they went down to
South Carolina to meddle in the affairs Of
that State, they would be put in the peniten.
tiary. If he goes there now, voluntarily or
involuntarily, he will be very apt to meet
that fate which he was 80 very profuse IN
promising for Others Patterson's friends here
express apprehensions that the late develop
ments in South Carolina will have 8 strong
tendency to imperil his seat in the Senate.
Should the charges against him be sustained,
the Senate cannot afford to do less than ex-
pei him. His expulsion will materially re-
duce the already exceedingly meagre Repub-
lican majority in the Senate, if it does not
have the effect to wipe it out altogether. In
of this probability, some of the
Radical officers of that body who were dis

Whittemore on Hayes.

delivered himself on the political situation as
follows:

must be fought over again. When the speak

state of affairs, it had seemed to him that
