If March next. The senate is yet in
/ doubt. If Nevada, as is claimed, has
! elected a democratic legislature and a
democrat is elected to succeed Sharon,
Malone, the readjuster in Virginia,
will have the casting vote as between
4 the two parties. His friends here
claim that he is very much incensed
because of the interference of the ma
tional democratic committee in thelO-
cal affairs ofthat state. The republi-
can national committee here claim a
net gain of twenty five members. To
effect this, however, the democrats
have gained one in Pennsylvania and
two in New York, which, deducted
from the twenty Eve, make a total
gain of twenty. one. This will secure
q republican majority of at least ten.
The feeling among the republicans is
that the next administration is to be
a stalwart one; that all democrats
must go: that there is to be no more
temporiziDg with the south. 1t is
said by the ultra stalwarts that con-
gressmen from the south, certified to
be elected in districts having a pre-
ponderating negro vote, are to be
either unseated or their election in
validated, on the ground that the peo-
ple-haye not had a chance to record a
S free expression Of opinion. This, it is
asserted, is the only means which can
be resorted to to give the colored vot.
Yer a chance to assert his political
rights.

Over The Game of Craps"

The steamer Poitevent, which ar
rived this morning put a messenger
ashore to notify the police and held
out from shore until officer Chastiine
arrived, when the officers turned over
two negro roustabOuts, Henry Epps
and Bob Butler, on a charge Of muir
dering another negro named james
Smith on the steamer James Lee.
The circumstances are as follows:
When the steamer geared Scanlan's
landing, about fifteen miles below
here, yesterday evening, the two
~rOustabouts became involved IN a
quarrel with James Smith, who is a
deck bartender on the Lee, aud also
the boss Of the crap game. During
The fight which followed, Smith was
shot in the left side by one of them
and said to be fatally wounded. Eppi
and Butler jumped off when the boat
touched at Seaman and the Lee pro.
ceeded without them. Meeting the
Poitevent a few miles further down
some Of the deck hands on the Lee
shouted tho news to her, which led K
the detection and detention Of tn,
scoundels when they got aboard tho
Poiteyent at Scanlan's to return t
Memphis
When searched al the station nous,
an English bulldog pistol was found
on Epps and a Smith and Wesson OF
Butler. All the chambers were full
but cartridges we're found in the peck
cts Of both the negroes.
The negro. Jim Smith, is still
aboard the Lee, which is due bacl
here this evening. His wound is 0
such a nature, that death has mos
probably resulted b. tllis time. III
is known to be a bad characrer by tn.
police, and has more than once seel

TRADES UNIONS.
An Important Decisi ON.

nm u" RO1 DCCADA OAs
The Zanesville special of the Cincin-
natti Gazette furnishes that paper with
a decision recently given by Judge
Ball in an injunction case, of interest
to Trades Union men. GA glass man.
ufacturing firm at Zanesyille on the
18th inst, brought twenty-four Bel
gian workmen to take the place of a
like number of men they had discharg-
ed for q refusal to disregard the Or
ders of the Glass Blowers Union with
reference to the number of boxes to be
made in q week. Efforts having been
made to induce the Belgians TO break
their contract, they having been hired
for three years, the proprietors asked
and obtained temporary injunction
restraining David P. Swearer, presi-
dent of the Pittsburgh Glass Blowers
Association, from interfering with the
Belgiaus. Swearer had come to Zanes-
vile to use his influence with the new
ly employed workmen. Judge Ball
on q full hearing refused to modify
the temporary injunction and ordered
that discharged men must not in any
way attempt to procure an annulment
of the contract of the Belgians or en-
ter the premises or converse with the
men with the purpose of inducing
them to leave their present employers,
until the expiration of the contract.
The Judge reviewed at length the
organization and working of trades
unions and concluded by saying he
had no doubt that the union represent
ed by Mr.. Swearer was in conflict
with the laws of the State and of the
United States"
