ThepcOple down in MARSHALL county are

her heart upon it. Hence tho people are
greatly disappointed and very indignant.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, June 9.-The members
OF the Amalgamated Association engaged
in the finishing departments Of the mills
held n meeting in Schiller Hall to-day.
There was large attendance OF heaters
and rollers, and the situation as viewed by
the employees, was thoroughly discussed.
Several OF those present expressed indigna.
ton at the statements made regarding the
purpose for which the meeting was called,
it having been asserted that it was the in.
tcntion 10 sever their connection with the
Amalgamated Association. In order to
place themselves on record the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
Resolrtd, That we, the finishing men, dc.
ny the charges made against us; that this
meeting to-day has been called for the pur.
pose OF withdrawing from the Amalga-
mated Association, as we believe the de.
mands asked for arc fair and Just, and we
intend to stand by them until granted.
About 800 attended the meeting.
This action eifrctually dis ooses OF the
assertion that there was serious division
in the ranks Of the members of the Anal.
ganated Association. 4 It WIS stated that
the meeting Of the iinishers to-day would
settle the strike, but rs there is no break
in the ranks OF the strikers it is difficult to
tell what the outcome will be.
A prominent Pittsburgh iron manuiac.
tnrer was asked by reporter what effect
the action OF tho iinishers this afternoon
wns likely to have on the strike. as
"None at MI that know OF. The manu-.
iacturersare not taking any notice OF them.
II was not TO be expected TINT they would
break away from the Association
what is the outlook for tho striker
queried the reporter.
"Herc is n letterreceived from Chicago
house this morning, in which they s:ate
that they are selling eastern iron in that
western city ut 81 O., Notwithstanding that
We in Pittsburgh have lad n strike for

Z PmLADELrllIA, July 3.-Rumors are and

have been industriously circulated by

been strongly denied by Republicans.

OF Cooper's has been construed to mean
that Beaver would back out, while II means
nothing OF the sort. What Cooper
Intended TO say was that he

SOUTH CAn0IINA ELECrIoyrRAUps


Aue beNciOpihents Made In the Recent
Congressional Contests, E.'
WASHINGTON, July 3.-The House Elcc.
tions Committee are just about to repor,
through Pettibone Of Tennessee one OF the
most remarkable contested election cases
oi the present Congress-that Of Lee VS..
Richardson, which comes from the Twen.
ty.frst Congressional District Of Soutl,
Carolina. For out and out fraud, and d
plentiful use oftissue ballots, It beats the eel
ebrated AIackey-0 'Connor case. Richard.
son has been boosted up witt, the idea
that he would not be disturbed iu posses.
ion OF tho seat which he occupies. lie bas
pursued rather conservative course dur
ing the present session, with hone nc
doubt, oil placating the majority party
The committee was rather inclined TO look
with lenient eye upon the dark places in
Richardson's case, and before they got
fully into the marrow of it the report
got abroad that Richardson was
i'll no danger OF losing his seat.
When they began to get ut the facts,
however, they were not only surprised, bui
astonished. They thought they knew a
good deal about tissue ballot frauds from
the AlackeyO O'Connor and other cases, bu,
rs they delved into the Lee.Richardson
case, they struck pan OF such richness
that, almost with one accord, they pro.
nounced it great bonanza fraud. Tn all
the many precincts OF the district there
were scarcely hall dozen where an homes,
election had been held.
Tissue ballots were found EVERYWHERE.
and little jokers turned up where they
were not expected. Balloi-box suffers
overdid the business and brought ruin on
themselves when they expected success.
In reading the testimony one is compell-
ed 10 wonder how ballot-box suffers could
have been SO idiotic. In some precincts
the frauds were so clear and outrageous
that even the Democratic managers were
ashamed TO count the votes, and so the
boxes were tied up and either DESTROYED
or carried 10 the Commissioners uncount.
ed. What disposition was made OF these
boxes by the Commissioners it is
hard to say. In other c,,ses
when tissue ballots were found in excess,
the ballots were thrown out under the law
OF South Carolina, but it isa remarkable fact
that, although the tissue ballots had Richard.
sons name oil them, the majority OF the
ballots thrown away in almost every case
had Lees mime on them. Another trick
ostensibly played and one that was intend.
ed to be particularly smart and effective,
was TO put tissue ballots in box with
names Of Republican Presidential! Elcc.
tors on them, and the name OF Richard.

for Congress. All OF this trickery and irau,l
however, has proven to be Of no avail. Mr.
Richardson will have to 90.

THE STAR ROUTE TRIALS,
Suspicious fncts That Seem to indicate
u l.uileWnrm Prosecution,

IuNeNnfm prosecution.
WASHINGTON, July 3.-Some very sus
picious facts have recently come iuto the
possession ofpersons observing the manage
ment OF the Star route cases by tho prose
cution. The facts seem to fully justify re-
cent assertions that cases against General
Brady and others, where the evidence was
strong, were put aside, and The pending
case, which is much weaker, was selected
instead. This feature Of the prosecution
or the lack OF prosecution will inevitably
become prominent mt no distant day. II
is now known that some OF those directing
the prosecution have long had in their poH
session evidence and accessible witnesses
TO show attempts 10 corrupt Congress
in connection with the passage Of
the deficiency appropriation for Sar
route service in 1850, the levying Of
corruption fund from contractors,
and the payment Of money by contractors,
by direction Of Gen. Brady, 10 prominent
persons. 1t is true that an indictment has
been recently found in case which, il
honestly prosecuted, will develop portion
OF the above ficts. But the Grand Jury
was adjourned before it had covered the
whole ground. 1t did not even progress so
far MS 10 find important indictments which
the evidence taken justified, il in iact it
did not render them necessary under any
theory that the prosecution Is being earn.
estly conducted. This branch OF the case
is rapidly drifting into serious shape for
the Administration. The belief Of those
WHO have watched the matter very closely
from the first is that the President and At.
torney General Brewster have been in
earnest in directing that the prosecutions
should be vigorous and carried forward
without regard 10 those who might be
found implicated. But in spite OF this
there are good grounds for the belief thut
this purpose is being defeated without
their knowledge. .3sqg =
