WASHINGTON, September 3.-The New

Of Buffalo, was read before the adjourn,
ment. In conclusion be says: It's ex.
istence should not be cut short to meet
the behests Of any man no matter how
high or high low his estate officially or
politically. Are we mere pSriahs or
serts that We must bow meekly to an Off
cial order from the White House or In.
terror Department? Must We surrender
our Independence as citizens and our in,
tegrity Us Republicans and tear down or
desert our Republican association at the
autocratic bidding of potentatcs or
powers? l for one cannot consent to it.
The abasement is too deep 10 be reached
without protestation and an effort to
prevent its occurrence. This nation has
reached its Centennial in history, and
this is the first instance in which de-
structiOn Of peaceful and useful political
organizations has been demanded to
propitiate the seat Of power. II this is
Republicanism l want no more OF it,
though l propose to be a Republican Of

The above wool growers reside in Lib.
erty district, Ohio county, VIVA. These
are all the sales as far as our information
extends, with the exception OF two or
three clips sold early in the season for
AZ to A cts. Several clips went to the
Steubenville wool house, for some OF
which they have been offered 90 cts.
One Of the above "a. Sumple) resides
in Triadelphia district. Beside these,
We hear that the following parties in
Brooke county have sold for so cts., viz:
John Beck, John Lindsey, Abe. Hedges
and Wash. Jones.
To an observer, having this view of
sales, the conclusion naturally would be
that so cts. was the average price for
wool, and that some are holding for that
price is not strange.
The wool sold, it is understood, went
mostly into the hands Of manufacturers.
But Of this we are not fully informed, as
it was mostly taken by our local buyers.

On Saturday evening, the let inst, Mr..

Gravel Hill Workingmens club. He
said he accepted with the understanding
that he differed from the views OF many
Of the wOrkingmen, and that be must be

he was truly laboring man, and that his
interests and sympathies were all with
the workingmen, He said he felt it a
duty TO advise them not to be hasty, but
to pause and consider lest they might

sure would do them no good. He SAID
that though he did not approve Of Grants

doing all right, and he called upon any
one to say wherein he had not. He be.

could to remedy the existing evils, now
that the question was before the country,
and at any rate it was the beat policy TO

be time enough to make new party,
when he would likely be with them,

cry came and identified Garnett as the
man who had violated her person. Mrs.
Kingery attempted to shoot Garnett in
the station, but was prevented. Garnett
was then locked in his cell, and the rela.
tiveS and friends stationed themselves
around the building, openly declar ing
they would hang him. The streets were
blockaded with people, and every one,
old and young, was in sympathy with the
crowd.
At one o'clock the relatives broke into
the building and dragged the prisoner
from the cell, calling for a rope, but the
Marshal coming, some one shot the negro,
and the men rushed out and stood around
waiting for news OF his death. The wound
was Slight, the ball entering on the right

right hip.
Another attempt was made about four

Garnett had previously made five similar
attempts against ladies in this vicinity.

MENTION was made in the dispatches to
the ISTELLIeENCER recently that the U
$. Consul at Liverpool has called the at.
tentIon Of the Government 10 the fact that
there was no employment for American
workmen in England, and that those who
were sailing thence were doing so under
a mistake. The explanation OF this dis.
patch is that not long since the agent OF
an English builder advertised in New
York for carpenters, offering them steady
employment in England for term Of
yearsnt high wages. A large number OF
men applied for engagements and from
them selections OF the best workmen were
made and shipped to Liverpool. The fact
Wa' made the text for innumerable state.
mcn,s as to the relative condition Of the
labor market in this country and in
England, the departure of forty or City
men under engagement for special work
beng maSnitied to the proportions Of a
steady stream OF American mechanics to
the shores Of the Old World, and the set.
ting back of the tide Of emigration to-
wards the eastern shores OF the Atlantic,
But the truth Of the matter begins to
appear The carpenters and joiners
Manchester are on strike, and the strike
has been continued so long that u bitter
ieeIinS has grown up between the mas.
Ier' and the workmen. The master build
ers had important contracts on hand and
could get no workmen without submitting
to the terma OF the strikers, as the carpen,
ter' and ioiners' organization throughout
the United Kingdom sympathized with
the Manchester wOrkmen. The builder.
therefore resolved to import workmer
IRON the United States, and the exigen-
cit' OF the case compelled them to offer
better terms than they would give The
English strikers.
The Manchester E4lminsr says the frs,
batch Of thirty.fvc who came over from
New York, on learning the state Of affair,
at once put themselves in communication
with the striking workmen and resolved
not 10 work against the men on strike
Two only commenced work, and they
lett Oft again, agreeing to abide by The
decision Of their comrades. Several Of
them have written home to deter thei,
friends from crossing the Atlantic. They
also appointed a deputation to wait upor

that they were brought over under the
