In noticing an entertainment given a
short time since by the 'Gaiety Club Of
this town we mentioned that the Club
intended to give similar entertainments
monthly. We now understand that the
reason for rot carrying out that intention
has been the difficulty Of procuring suit
able rooms; but it is now likely that this
difficulty will he overcome in the course
of a few weeks, and we are told,that the
members Of the Club will then be prepar-
ed to go on with their attractive enter
t%ainments, when W hope their efforts
will meet due encouragement.

WASHINGTON, Nlay 24.-The report sent
ont that the judiciary committee OF the
House Ind agreed TO report favorabiy in
regard to the land grants to the Northern
Pacific road needs qualifications. It now
appears that only four members OF the
committee have signed tho report in favor
Of ratifying and continuing the original
grant The status OF said grant is as iol-
lows: 1t was made to the company to MD
in building II road from Lake Superior TO
the Pacific Ocean in 1864, and the company
was required to complete the road by 1876.
The time was extended for two years, and
Secretary Scllurz held that the effect OF the
legislation was to extend the time to July
i, 1879. The road was 10 be 2,2G0 miles
long, OF which l,0OG miles are reported to
the Land Office rs completed. The area
OF the grant is estimated ut 4S,2l5,0 ,0i0
acres, OF which 100000 acres have been
patented to the company, although an
extent OF road has been approved which
carries with it many millions OF acres.
The granting act, which has probably led
the committee to the dccison referred to,
does not provide for forfeiture in case OF
a failure TO fulfill the conditions prescribed,
but provides that ii the breach OF condi-
tions shall continue for one year "the
United States, by its Congress, may do any
and all acts and things whict, may be
necdiul and necessary 10 insure speedy
completion OF said road" It is under.
stood that the majority report takes the
ground that Congress has the-right to de.
clare the Northern Pacific land 10 be for.
leitcd, while the minority, holding that
Congress has the power to 10 this, recon-
mends that the construction ofso valuable n
road should not be hindcrcd or prevented
without careful consideration OF the cxpe.
dicncy Of such action.

The Mining 'CrNuhlr4.

pIrrSnUnGlI, May 24.-The coal situation
presents no new feature to-day, as both
sides remain about the same. II was re.
ported at the miners Office this morning
that two OF the colored men had been hurt
in the mines and one Of them had died
yesterday. The importation OF the colored
element, while working on the feelings Of
the strikers, is not probable to result in Nh
outbreak Of the peace, although threats to
that effect have been frequently made. OF
the miners recently brought from Ohio, a]l
continue to work. The strikers remain
firm in the stand which they have taken,
and present indications point to IL pro.
tracted struggle between labor and capi.
tai, the final outcome Of which would be
difficult to predict with any degree Of Ger
tainty. President Jones his not received
any official information OF Il further influx
OF colored lahores, although, it is freely
ruMored that the operators have sent OH
tor another slliptnen. OF negroes who are
daily expected ii. the mines. III any case
the strikers have determined not to use any
forcible resistance, rs they fully concur in
the counsel OF wiser heads, that such a
course would do them more harm. than
good. The operators have nothing to say
on the matter and seem decided that no
increase will be made in the scale Of remu-
nerat!on. They regard their action, under
the circumstances, rs perfectly justitlable.
and say the malcontents are only vainly
e1deavoring to keep up the agitation, which
will not result to their benefit. On next
Monday the miners will hold another con-
vention, when the situation will be consid.
