ed as rapidly as they can
be got in readiness, and the trains which
have been delayed along the line are ar.
riving. The first three trains sent out
on this road were under military guard,
but no trouble having occurred the
trains are now running without guards.
The company is not receiving freights
for shipment yet, but this is owing to the
tact that the tracks over the burnt dis
trict are not yet completed and will reL-
der the de.av of local treights Tor day
or two.
On the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and
Chicago raiira rasd the efforts are mainly
directed To clearing the tracks of rolling

The road for fifteen miles below the city,
and having the city ireights delivered.
All workmen in the shops on this road

Peansy Ivania Central ard Fort Wayne
roads officers have notified the engineers
and tremen tina. they can hsve their old

The opening of the blockade on the Fort

GALVESTON, July 30.-The strike on
the Texas Pacific ended this morning.
The company agreed to pay the amounts
due the employees prior to June lst BY
August 9th, and the amounts due prior
to August lst by October lst, and 70
make the wages uniform with the other
roads in Texas.
The trainmen on the San Antonio
road secured 81 advance of ten per cent,
TO take effect August lst. The shopmen
on this road have not yet accepted the
proposition but 1t is thought they will.
The negro Isborers employed IN re.
constructing the building destroyed by
fire on Market street organized Il strike
and marched 10 the corner OF Strand
and Twenty streets where block
of buildings were being erected, and in
duced the Isborers 70 quit work. The
strikers proceeded 20 the corner OF
avenue A and Twenty-iourth street and
induced the IsbOrers working on q block
nearly completed to join. Next they vIs-
tied the narrow gauge railway, and the
gangs engaged IN bala-tlng, and tack

Joined the strikers. Many other large
firms were visited and most Of the visits
proved successful, the laborers quitting

THE OUTLOOK.

At this writing, it may be stated that
the backbone of the strike is broken.
With very few exceptions, both freight
aud passenger trains are running, though
somewhat lrregulsrIy, on most of the
trunk lines. There are spots, here and
there, where difficulties exist. Such for
instance rs at Columbus, yesterday,
where the strikers appeared to
hold the tort in The shops
and round house OF the Pennsylvania
RAILROAD lines. The strikers seem TO
be the most determined, and to have the
greatest cohesive force, in our own I'M
mediate vicinity. This is evidenced from
the fact that only one train per day, each
way, is yet running on the e. u 2. K. r.
While 1t is reported that freight
trains are running on the First
and Second divisions of the B. IL .. road,
none have started from this city yet.
But We believe all the passenger trains
are running on schedule time. The
night trains were put on for both the
East and West, last night, for
the first time within ten days.
The best feature looking to ward
a probable let up in the sltua-
tion is the disposition on the part OF both
officers and strikers to hold conferences
for the adjudication of their difficulties.
This phase of affairs presages return to
reason and better feeling, and certainly
i. offers better opportunity for settle
ment of differences. Yesterday afternoon a
consultation was held in this city between
the employees oi the Baltimore and Ohio,
and Captain DEvRIEs, on the part OF the
officers. Though nothing definite result
ed from this meeting, it was good sign,
and may be considered the hsrblDger OF
something better in the near future. No
freight trains left here yesterday over
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
and probably none will leave to-day,
although rumor had it that there would.
A special from Grafton, in another
columG, dated 10 P. NJ, states that two
freight trans were started cast from
Grafton and fonr had arrived from Park
ersburg.
On the Pan. Handle notice has been
given to shippers that the officers OF that
road would commence receiving freight
to-day.

How silver was Demo

1t is well to refresh our memories oc-
casionally with mention OF the fashion
in which silver was demonetlzed IN TINS
country. We see the statement made
that the bill was under consideration for
three years. This is untrue. Coinage bills,
of various kinds, were broached In Con-
gress for some time previous to 1873, but
were held in the background by their
prudent managers, who saw that the
hour for the coup was not yet ceme.
The bill! which finally did pass WAS sud-
denly sprung from the committee, one
of the members of the committee declsr-
ing, in the Aouse, that he had never
seen the bill, and was sure it was not
adopted at a full meeting. 1t was never
read in the House, and vain warning
was given of an endesvor to pass 1t with
out the House knowing what 1t was
about. A determined effort was made 10
the Senate, also, to prevent its printing.
There was no such debate upon it as its
importance demanded-there was no ex-
animation of its merits IN the public
press 1t was forced through as rapidly
and quietly as possible, 1t seemed to
have been drawn with the express
purpose of discouraging examination.
1t was not entitled "a Bill to Demon
etize Silver that would have alarmed
the country "hke bell in the night"
1t Twas entitled "a Bill Relative to
Assays and Mints"-an abstruse subject
not calculated to attract attention. II
was bill almost IS long as the Capitol
itself it had sixty nine sections, as re-
pellsnt to the gencral reader MS volume
OF of Patent-otflce reports. Carefully
hidden away in the sixty-nine sections
were two little paragraphs, standing
apart, which contained the meat OF the
whole thing. They we're as follows:
SEC. Is. That the silver coins of the
United States shall be trade dollar, n
half dollar, or fitty-cent piece, quarter
dollar, or twenty-five cent piece, dime,
or ten cent piece; and the weight of the
trade dollar shall be four hundred and
twenty grains troy; the weight of the
half dollOr shall be twelve CRANES
(grammes) and one-half of gram
(grsmme); the quarter dollar and the
dime shall be respectively one half and
one fifth OF the weight of said half dollar
and said coin shall be legal tender at
their nominal value for any amount not
exceeding five dollars in any one pay
ment
SEC. II. That no coins, either gold,
silver or minor coinage, shall hereafter
be issued from the mint, other than those
OF the denominations, standards and
weights herein set forth.
Even this says nothing about demone-
tiziug silver-with Mschisvelian cum
nlng it accomplished one of the greatest
of all po iticsl messures-the changing
of a Nations money stsndard-without
saying anything about 1t. 1t was
the crsftiest piece OF work which our
Congressional history affords.

The railroad strikes have occurred at
the very worst time that could have been
selected by the strikers. They will prob
ably realize this when it is too late TO
remedy the evil. To say nothing about
the trade distur Dances attending the rail-
way strikes (which have really precIpi-
tsted the movements in the trades and
which will add greatly to the
depression resulting from the business
panic, If indeed they do not end
IN another business panic, worse than
that the country has already ex-
perienced, there is the folly OF interfering
with the very means the country has re-
lied upon as sffording some relief rom
our present difficulties. We have been
expecting much from the movement of
grain. But Just when the new crops are
most IN demand, tse railroad strike and
mob lsw combine to block the pros
pect This IS something the strikers
may not have considered when they
selected this as the proper time for
seton, but any lack of foresight
on their part will be recorded by the
producers and consumers. Both these
are brought face to face with lncon-
veniences, and compelled to endure
losses, which are not precisely cslcusted
70 promote sympathy with the strikers
When the sum total is footed up snd
placed to the account of the strikers, they
will discover that the draft is more than
they can hoLor. But there is no escsp-
ing this conclusion. When settlement
day comes, as come 1t must, and every
debit and credit is entered up, the bal
Anoe will be largely against the strikers.
