WASHINGTON, June 0-Now that the Last
hope for Guiteau has gone, the prisoners
guards have received the most rigid orders.
They are not only to be near the cell at oil
times, but they are not TO take their syss
from the prisoner, either when he 10 awake
or asleep. No person whatever ID allowed
to see him out Of the presence Of the guard
on duty, or the warden, deputy warden, OF
some other officer.
The assassin received news last night Of
the decision Of Justice Bradley, on the ap-
plication for writ Of hAbeas corpus with .
smile, and appeared 70 b moro cheerful

realized the hopelessness Of his oass.
It has been noticed during the past week,
that despite the prisoners disavowal, he
has relied upon the efforts Of Mr.. Reed 10
secure from Judge Brsdey writ Of habsss
corpus. The change In his views In this
respect Is known by the fact that his hopes
in executive interference have been dis
pelled.
All legal measures having been taken In
the case, Il is now likely that formal ap-
plication will be made TO the President for
a respite of few weeks, although Guitsau
insists that he will accept nothing short Of
q pardon. There Is but little doubt nov
that the sentence OF the court will be car
ried out on Friday, the s0th inst

GRAFTON. June 20.-After a most deter
mined battle between the advocates and
opponents of subscription to the Grafton
and Greenbrier railroad, the enterprising
people of Grafton district have elected the
railroad, the vote at Grafton stands 551
for, to 81 against. There is one voting
place in the county to hear from, which
will give about % for and 100 against, car
rying the proposition by about 12O majority
more than the necessary three-fifths.
The business and professional part OF the
population did battle at the polls during
the entire day. Business was almost sus-
pended. The opposition was led by S. P.
Mccormick, whose individual sovereignty,
as on former occasion, was pitted against
great odds.
At this hour the victors are jubilant and
calling for a band. They desire to rejoice
over the result of one OF the hardest fought
battles Grafton has ever had.
1t is but just to say that the solid, tax
paying, property holding part of the popu-
lation have won this victory. They have
held their own money and not
somebody else's. They are willing to pay
as they vote. They believe in this enter
prise, and they intend to build this road,
and at the same time build up a large and
rich adjacent territory that will eventually
pour its wealth into the lap of this place.
There will be rejoicing all along the line,
as the news goes forward of the victory won
here to-day. The railroad spirit is abroad
in the State.

IRON MATTERS.
AT Pittsburgh.

PrrrsBrRGH, June 20.-The Amalgamated
Association men were rather cheerful this
morning over the news OF the Warren, o..
mill having signed the scale. President
Jarrett, who arrived in the city this morn
ing, was on duty at the general office, where
he greeted the repOrtorial intruder. In
answer to the question how he had lett
things in the West he replied: "All IS
quiet and serene. There is but one mill,
the st. Louis Nut and Bolt Works, IN
operation at that place. The situation gen.
orally remains unchanged and both sides
are continuing the struggle quietly and
peacefully as becomes sensible men,. In
reference to the Warren mill, which is the
latest victory for the strikers, the Presi-
dent remarked that lin this case the scale
is signed" and his manner indicated that
the settlement in this case has nothing OF
the character of a compromise. The Iron
Association authorities stated that they had
no official notification of the Warren manu-.
facturers having signed put they did not
seem disposed to doubt the correctness oil

LABOR TROUBLES.

New Developments.
Npectnl 10 TIE Re0ister.

FRosrsBrRG, Nd, June O..This morning
visited the hemuch-talked-of Eckhart mines,
the seat of the great strike in this region.
From the numerous newspaper reports, I
was expecting to see tumultuous gather
ing Of strikers ready to rend in pieces any
who might dare to oppose them, but such
was not the case. Everything in the little
village was quiet and orderly, and with the
exception of the police force, who
constantly patrol their beat, scarce
by person was visible; and instead of
riotous demonstration on the part of the
unemployed miners in their clsmor for
higher wages, there seemed to be quiet
submission TO the inevitable.
The men were all in their mines at
work, and are improving each day in their
management of the pick and shovel. On
Saturday last the amount of coal shipped
reached 400 tons. There are at present 16O
imported miners employed in the mine,
and these are guarded by force of State
polic6 in number $50.
The employees of the Branch Of the c. &
p. railroad running TO Eckhart refused to
assist in conveying the product Of the new
labor to Cumberland, and the train which
does this work is manned by a portion of
the police. The engine is also run by q
policeman,
Another detachment of one hundred and
fifty miners are expected TO arrive here in
few days, at which time the company
will commence to operate their other mines.
The position of the company is as firm as
at first and that Of the strikers is also uA-
changed The New Central and Georges
Creek companies are about to inaugurate a
similar course to that now in effect by the
COnsOli lated company.
Trouble is anticipated at the first OF the
month, when the process of eviction of the
old miners will be commenced.

BUFFALO. \. Y, June 2O.-The typos con-
nected with the newspaper departments OF
the daily papers generally quit work, to-
day, demanding an increase in composinon
from so and SO cents per 1000 ems, to IS
and 50 cents for day and night work respec-
lively. A communication was sent to two
of the daily papers claiming that the re-
Quest was made in accordance with the
action taken by the Printers Assembly oil
KNIGHTS of Labor. Time to consider the
action of the strikers was requested by one
of the dailies, for a few days, to confer with
the other papers, but was refused The
other dailies refused to hold conferences
with the appointed committee OF hnlghs
of labor. No definite refusal TO pay the
increase or compromise has been made.
A few Of the Oldest hands remain at the
cases, and the publications will be brought
out on time. CompositorS from other de-
partments of the papers will be put at the
cases, and the places of the strikersbe filled
as fast as possible. ...

Foster had pardoned John Stewart, who
was convicted here for murder in the sec.

James McCann on July 4, 1877. The MUIR
der was cold-blooded one, but through
the influence of influential friends he was
pardoned. To murder man in this neck
