Streets Of Serious Trouble.

with the resolution passed Saturday night, the
strike in the Harmony mill became general to-
day. Orders were given to suppress street
demonstration. This forenoon two drummers,

rading the streets, were arrested. They were
followed to the police station by 1900 people.

their offence they were released.
AT noon mass meeting was called to con-
slider the action of the French weavers in re-
turning to work. A written communication
was read explaining that the intention was to
running shall be stopped. The more turbu-
lent strikers declared that this was subterfuge
to enable the men to remain at their looms
and the significant cry of "Out or consequent
ces," was sent forth in tones of rage A force
of police was held in reserve to meet any
the streets and the excitement is Intense.
A rumor prevails that the French weavers
comprising about twenty-five per cent. of those
employed in the Harmony mills have deserted
their union and will return to work. A few
have already done so and five hundred looms
are in operation. If their determination is
persisted in serious trouble is apprehended.

section hands waited on General johnson and
demanded that the notice served on Thomas

recalled. Being informed that this point could

with Sch. George B. Ferguson, from Belfast
for New York, which took them on board and
brought them to this port. A seaman, name I'M

TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 80.

ton of Smyth strengthened the opposition to
him, exasperated his foes grieved his friends,
led to the expulsion of his most ardent cham
pion from the editorial chair of the State
paper, and rendered his retention of office
practically an impossibility 1t is curious
chapter of blunders made by man whose
fault is obstinacy; who is honest and means
we'll, but will not adopt anybodys guidance
nor listen to anybody's advice.
The Governor has conferred the most lucra-
tive position at his disposal on an, Allegheny
Doctor by the name of William M. Smith, who
is to succeed DR.. vanderpool as Health Officer
at Staten Island. DR.. vanderpooF has held
the Office eight years, and not only expected
to be, but was DESTROYS of, being relieved. He
was originally appointed by Governor Hoff-
man in 1872, towards the close of his term, and
when the Republicans held the Legislature so
that no nominee of his own party could be
confirmed. He was reappointed by Cow Dix
in February, 1874, the prescribed term being
two years. He has held ever ever since.
There were numerous Democratic applicants
for the place while Tilden was in the chair,
but for some reason or other he did not send in
a name Gov. Robinson had no motive for
making a nomination, as there was little
chance that the Senate would concur. The
Office is talked about as being worth $4,000
and even as high as $75, 900 year. The pres
emit incumbent saws it nets about $4,000, GER
tainly not to exceed $4,000. That, to be sure,
is pretty handsome return for year of pub
lie life, but it is very exacting and onerous
office. The Doctor has to keep watch of every
vessel that enters our port to prevent the in
PRODUCTION of contagion, and must often put
his own life at hazard to protect the lives of
his fellow citizens. The pay is none too large
for the responsibility, and if DIR. Smith proves
as capable a functionary as DIR. Vanderpool
has been he will deserve every dollar he will
get.
Pretty much every Republican in the Union
remembers "James A. Briggs of Ohio" who
was campaign orator on the birthday of the
party, and has done service for the good cause
on many a rostrum during the succeeding
twenty-five years. don't know when or how
it happened that he changed his abode from
Ohio to New York, but he was appointed one
of three State Assessors by Gov Dix in Febru-
airy, 1879. The Governor now substitutes James
81. Weatherwax in his stead. I've not the
remotest idea of the reasons which prompted
this change, but take it for granted they
were good ones 1t is quite certain they have
no bearing on the personal worth or official
abilityof the retiring officer, and there are
many of the friends of Mr.. Briggs who will
extend to him kindly salutation as he takes
leave of post which he has creditably filled
for something over seven years. hope the
Governor did not sacrifice this veteran because
the authorities at Washington lately quartered
a fresh Buckeye upon the Federal service in
New York. That would be simply initiating a
questionable example. YARMOUTH.

Row at q Church Meeting,

PJTTsBuRG, March 29.-One of the most ex-
citing church meetings ever held in Pittsburg
took place this morning. The First Reformed
Presbyterian church, Oak Alley, held con-
gregational meeting. The rival factions at
tended. The Woodside faction proposed
compromise by electing one of the opposition
as chairman, and appointing teller from each
side. 1t was rejected. The Woodside faction
then proceeded to elect chairman of their
own, and chose Samuel Barclay. He was about
to take the chair when he was attacked by Mr..
Black, the leader of the opposition. A fight
ensued, which created great excitement and
confusion. Mayor Liddell was summoned,
and with the Chief of Police and dozen Off
GERS, cleared the room. They then allowed the
leaders of each side to return, in the hope of
etfecting compromise. The crowd soon
forced their way through the door, and a gem
eral fight ensued, in which the police used
their maces freely. The Mayor finally sue
ceeded in clearing the room again, and de-
clared that no more meetings should be held.
