PITTSBURGH is remarkably lively just
now with the numerous delegates attend
ing the Democratic Convention. The
hotels are crowded with the friends Of
the various candidates, and the election
eering is going on briskly. 1t looks as
though the fight for the first place
on the ticket would be hot
one, but the chances seem to
be in favor of Dill, the favorite Of Sena'

hc will be nominated on the first ballot,

During the strikes of last summer, the

So far as numbers were concerned, we
did not have any militia worthy OF the

they eAcelled by far any troops Pennsyl-

had care o., and in short, their only fault
was one for which they were not per

will not say "peop,e who live in glass

will say, the State that contains the
troops employed to suppress the Pitts

ruE GREAT INVEsrIGATlON.

The Boston Herald has been inter.
viewing the Governors, or as many OF
them as its correspondents could get hold
of and make talk, on the investigation
question. The Democrats mostly favor
an investigation to expose frauds, though
Governors Mathews, of West Virginia,
and Hampton, of South Carolina, oppose
tho whole scheme, the latter predicting
that 1t will react dissstrously upon the
Democratic party and injure especially
the South, which needs peace.-SPTl"y-
field Republican.
1.-THE portion of the above statement
which relates to the views Of Governor
HAMPTON is as incorrect as that concern
ing Governor MATHEWS, the iniorma-
ton is of about q: much value as HAYES
sense of honor.
Governor MATHEWS believes that the
investigation should be pursued, in
Justice to both parties. AT
first he did not believe that
the proposed Investigation would add
ANYTHING to the conviction of all right
thinking and fair minded men that the
returns of Louisiana and Florida were
procured by fraud, and therefore thought
when the resolution Of investigation WAS
first spoken of, that the time vi Congress
could be more profitable employed IN the
consideration of other measures. Still,
alter the POTTER resolution was intro
duced, had the Governor been in Con-
gress, he would have voted with his party
HAYES title cannot be affected by this
investigation. The Democratic party
will be strengthened and occupy higher
position before the country by acquiescing
as il does in the decision Of the Electoral
Commission, based as that decision
may be upon fraud.
When the Democrats assented to the
creation of q commission ID settle the
presidential question, they took the
chance of decision adverse to their
views, aud as such was the result
they accept it. They did not expect to
abide by the decision Of the Electoral
Commission if i. was what they desired,
and to disregard it if it WAS not; but to
accepti. whatever 1t might be Us con-
elusive of the question of title to the
presidency.
