OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
End of the Strike.

WEST ELIZABETH, Pa, Nov. 16, 1878.
Mr.. Editor Il am glad to inform
you that the strike has come to con-
clusion by the employers conceding
the demand of the miners, which was
2a cents per bushel Of, 75-pounds an1
onec ~ ignman. We nave had a long
struggle oflits which lasted for ten
weeks and lots of hardships, endured
to gain the day.. The men tramped
about to get, and to keep all black
legs out and succeeded ia doing SO
until there wasn't man working
from Saw Mill Run at Pittsburg up
to No. 5 lock on the river. They even
got Browns men out who has caused
a bother on this river for Is or 16
years by working ! cent per bushel
under price of all the rest of the river
for the purpose Of getting steady
work. Too much of that is going on;
what we want is a decent day s
wages for decent days work" and
not lots Of work for little wages and
give all the benefit of our labor to
the employer and living ourselves on
Beecher's diet.
Among the companies that have
conceded the demand of the miners
are Tysle, Bailey & Co., Whigham,
Bailey & Co., at Camden; Risher &
Co., Dravosburg; Stones at Stones
burg; John O'Neil and Fosters at Pine
Run; Joseph Walton and Jones and
O'Neil at West Eliza beth and
Browns at Salisbury. On the Yough
are Bigley's at Alpsville; osceola coal
company at Osceola; and the Duncan
and Cornell pit at Boston. By this
writing almostall the works are ready
to start. +. isst
We expect to run steady from now
until the river will freeze over, which
is expected about Christmas. Many
Of the miners have not worked more
than nine weeks since January 1st.
The general strike lasted ten weeks
and the men had enough time to dis
cuss the campaign matters. Different
parties polled strong votes. The re-
publicans carried this county, all but
three candidates-one national, @. Ell.
Paulson for State Senator, and two
democrats for the Legislature, John
O'Neill and James M. Taylor. The
nationals polled strong vote, while
temperance was very weak, one o1
their candidates only received 6 votes
while the highest was only 5O7. ]
think they can throw this county uE
for hard case.
1 would like to state that the mer
on this river are organizing uni on
and going in to it by hundreds.
Yours respectfully. CYMRo.

DIAMOND DIGGING at the Dutoits-
pan fields in South Africa has been
unusually successful of late, and be-
sides several beautiful stones of fifty
carats each, a large diamond, weigh
ing 244 oarats, was recently found.
The "water" of the stone is not Of the
first quality, being OF light "off-
color" but the gem is free from flaw,
and will cut very full. This is the
second largest diamond evet found in
South Africa, the "spalding" dia-

some years ago, and weighing 1884
carats, being the largest. '' 7'.

ARRIVAL OF SKILLED LABoRERs.-
The wide spread commercial and in
dustrial depression in England and
Scotland is already adding materially
to the supply Of skilled labor in this
country. The agents of some of the
Fall River and other Eastern mills
state that within the past thirty days
there have been considerable access
sions of this character to the indus
trial forces there, and at this moment
men are employed in some Of the
higher departments who but few
months ago were at work in Lancash-
ire, Glasgow, Paisley, etc. 1t may
also be stated that with the increased
emigration from British ports a
great many skilled mechanics and ar
tisans who have been unable to find
anything to do at home have arrived
at New York, and the movement
promises to continue in augmented
volume until the business situation
over there takes turn for the bet
ter. 1t has been suggested that if
these new corners would push on
West, where there is said to be good
market for their industry, and not
stay in the seaboard cities, where the
labor supply is still largely in excess
of local requirements, they will do
much better than by waiting for work
East that may be long while coming.

the double standard of gold and
silver the latter being an unlimited
legal tender for all debts, public
and private, in Mexico, and
although gold is constantly coined
in the mints, it has ceased to be a

CINCINNATI, Nov. 16.-The grand
jury at Xenia, Ohio, has indicted
A. II. Baughman, Alfred Trader,
Samuel Puterbaugh, John Steele
and John B. Allen, Cashier and
Directors of the First National
Bank of Xenia, for embezzling and
converting to their own use money
and bonds to the amount of $65, 900
belonging to depositors, without the
consent of the banking company or
the owners of said property. All
have been considered of the highest
rsspectability. All the accused
have entered into a personal recog-
nizance in the sum of $4,000 to ap-
pear for trial next week.
The rate to New York this morn
ing over the Atlantic and Great
Western Road was S4.0O; over the
Pan Handle $500. The indica>
tions are that a conference among
the managers will be held to-day
and the rate probably raised next
week.

STEVE. GRIFFEY's doom.

Awaiting In Suspense the Action OF
Gov. Porter as to His Pardon.
Rev. DR.. Thos. w. Humes, who be-
came interested in the interest of the
doomed man, Steve. Griffey, sem
fenced to be hanged for rape in Cooke
county next Friday, prepared a petit
ton asking the Governor to commute
the punishment to imprisonment for
life. The petition was presented to
and signed by a large number of cur
citizens Of all professions and classes,
and was forwarded last week to
Nashville. Yesterday DIR. Humes
received a letter from Gov. Porter,
bearing date of last Saturday, ac-
knowledging the receipt of the petit
tiOn, and assuring him that it would
receive due consideration.
John GrIffty, of Cooke county,
father OF the doomed man, accom-
panied by a brother, came down on
yesterdays train, and were permitted
to see Steve. The old man is much
distressed over the matter. He SAYS
he circulated petition for commuta-
ton in Cooke county, and forwarded
it also to the Governor, having q
great many signatures, among them
the father and mother Of the little
girl, Eveline Clark, upon whom the
outrage was committed. Eight OF the
twelve jurors who tried the case and
passed the sentence signed it also, and
he says he found only one man who
refused to sign it, and he was q
preacher. As to the condition OF
Steve's mind, the old manIssys he had
epileptic fits when he was fifteen or
sixteen years old, and has never been
exactly right, mentally. 1t is believed
that with all the facts and these earn
est appeals laid before the Governor
he can hardly refuse to grant the
prayer of the petitioners.

Important Patent Suit.

Judge Baxter of the United States
Circuit Court, is hearing an important
patent suit in this city now, that OF
Reuben HOfheins vs. G. Russell 6
Co., of Canton, Ohio. The complain
ant Is a resident of Pennsylvania, and
claims to be the owner of valuable
and useful patents issued to him in
1862 and re-issued in 1866 for making
harvesting machines, aud that the de-
PENDANTS have infringed his patents
in the manufacture and sale of thou
sands of machines. The defendants
claim that they are not infringing.
and that the patents relied upon by
the mplainant are null and void.
In September, when Judge Baxter
was hearing Chancery cases at CIeve-
land, Ohio, it was expected that this
case would be heard, but the defend
ants counsel were otherwise engaged,
and as the counsel on the other.side
were unwilling to continue the case
generally, it was agreed to hear the
case before Judge Baxter at Chambers
in Knoxville, commencing yesterday.
Capt. A. J. Kicks, formerly of the
CHRONICLE, but now Clerk OF the
Circuit Court at Cleveland, arrived
with the records Sunday night.
The case Was opened for the COM
plainant yesterday afternoon by
George n. Christie, of Pittsburgh,
who is associated with J. II. B.
Latrobe, of Baltimore, two of IL
most eminent patent lawyers in the
United States. The defendants are
represented by George Harding, Esq
of Philadelphia, whose reputation as a
lawyer is National, and by Jno. R.
Bennett, Esq., a brilliant young Law
yer Of the same city.
A large number of models, illustra-
ting the principles of the patent about
which the suit was commenced, were
displayed in the court room yesterday.
This and similar suits by the same
complainant against J. F. Sieberling
& Co.'S assignees, of Akron, Ohi,
the Bucyrus Machine Company.
and the Fremont Harverstou
Company, all of Ohio, are
very important suite, as is evidenced
by the high character Of the counsel
The case will be stated for
each side, and the arguments on the
questions of law involved will perhaps
open to-day and continue two or three
days.
Mr.. Latrobe, is the father of Capt |
who commanded a Confeder-
ate battery at Knoxville some time |
during the war.
