Break Between the Railroad Strikers
and the Locomotive brotherhood.
NEW YORK. Sept. 7.-Pennsylvania specials
say there is probability of an open rupture
between the Philadelphia aud Reading railroad
strikers and the Locomotive Engineers
Brotherhood, the latter not having given the
assistance promised. Some complaint is made
among the engineers and firemen who, at the
instance of the Brotherhood, rebelled against
the Beneficial Fund scheme of the Phlladel.

in Pennsylvania are about to organize similar
benefit funds. The rairoaders will be given
until October to accept the railroad corpora
tons ultimatum.
The WiIkesbarre Coal Regisn,
At Wilkesbarre the miners finally deter

compromise. The farmers are terrorized by

military are rumored, and trouble is antici-
pated.

The sale agents for varions coal companies in
this region decided yesterday to advance this
price of coal 20 cents per ton for the northern

cluded to put only one regiment of volunteers

The COlOrcd Mans Friend.

The Democrats of the Southern States
claim now to be the peculiar and only
friends that the colored man can rely upon.
Their line of reasoning is in accordance
with the Southern idea of the destiny OF
the black race, now that he is clothed with
citizenship. The Raleigh IN. c. Observer
has recently read us a very respectful lee
ture on this subject, from which we are dis
posed to extract, to show the true inward
ness" of the South toward the future of the
colOred race. 1t says a greater mistake was
never made than to think that somebody
wishes to bull-doze the colored brother" 1t
contends that
If fthere be any danger to the negro It Is not
that he will be intcrfcrcd with by the white
| man, but that he will be severely let alone-il
| cOnsummatiOn that would work to his speedy
| ruin. The negroes have neither land nor
money, and If IL should so happen that there
| was no market for their muscle they would be
in a desperate condition. The end would OF
course be starvation, nor could IL be arrested

| least the white race has nothing to fear from
a resort to violence by the black race. The
day when such violence could accomplish any.

True, We make no prctencc to putting our
selves on level with negroes, but still the
negro has all the rights before the law that Il
white man has. The benefits Of our govern,

| the taxes to support the government that pro

The English Mission.

All coquetting over this appointment has
come to an end for the present. The Presi-
dent yesterday sent to the Senate the nomi-
nation of JOHN WELSH, of Philadelphia, rs
Minister TO- the Court of st. James. In this
the President has secured the appointment
to the State of Pennsylvania, as has hereto
fore been indicated.
This is in every respect high compliment
10 a gentleman of personal worth and a
merchant prince of great wealth and busi-
ness experience. But, in view of all this, the
selection named falls short of meeting the
political necessities OF n great State like
Pennsylvania, simply because Mr.. WELSH
is too far removed from the people. He is
Of the GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS school
and his tastes and sympathies are
directly against them. On matters OF
politics he is not, in the strict
partisan sense, q Repu blican, as the records
will show. This fact, in our Judgment,
should constitute some point of objection to
him at this time
We are credbly informed, and verify be-
Eeve, strange as it may appear that within
few days past Mr.. WELSH wrote letter
10 President HAYES, and which is now on
file, asking for the appointment Of Gen.
RUSH, Of his State, to some Office because
he is Democrat. In this same
letter he halls the day that per-
nits such a policy by Republican
President. This may be consistent with
civil service reform as modernly inter.
preted by men of no political principles OIL
practical use to any party, but in settling
the political differences, such rs exists in q
State like Pennsylvania, the doctrine is not
the most possible remedy. We predict
therefore, that while the nomination of Mr.
WELSH rs Minister to England may please
the diiietdnte and man milliner" politicians
Of the country, its use to the Republican
party will be against it, and in the election
soon to take place in the Keystone State il
will add to the already threatened Demo,
cratic majority. We must express the hope
therefore, that when the confirmation Of
Mr.. WELSH is brought before the Senate
the Republican Senators will bear thes,
facts and circumstances in mind.

The House Committees.

The labor devoted by the Speaker to the
organization of the committees, the result
OF which we gave to the readers of the Ma
TIoEAL REPUBLICAN yesterday morning,

political friends than to the opposition
This is very natural, and is one OF the in
eyitable consequences of distributing patron

the motive that prompts to action in divid-
