HOUSE.,

WARRINGTON, March 6.-The Speaker
announced the appointment of Man
zanaris, OF New Mexico, upon the Com.
mittee in Coinage, Weights and Meas
ures.
The morning hour was dispensed with
and the House went into Committee of
the Whole, Converse (of Ohio in the
chair, on the naval appropriation bills.
Finerty presented a petition in the
House today. signed by citizens of Chi
oagO, asking for a more vigorous en-
fOroement of the Chinese law, and some
amendments, so as to make it more Of
feotive. Referred to the Committee on
Foreign Affairs.
In the course of discussion Henley re-
fiected severely on the present Secre-
tary Of the Navy for investigating, as
employees Of the Mare Island Navy
Yard were con p lied to vote the Repub-
loan ticket at t le last election.
Reed inquired if any had been muir
dered for not voting right.
Henley replied it would not be a loss
to the world if the men who required
such methods were murdered. and GlAs-
cock INTERCEPTED the information that
the employers we're, II not murdered. at
any rate discharged, il they did not vote
right.
Randall denied that the Committee
on Appropriations exhibited the least
hostility to binding up the navy. He
did not believe there WAS any consider
able number Of representatives who did
not esteem the navy and its brave Off
GERS aud seek to make it what it should
be and was not now. Tho money al
ready expended and auropriated in
this bill aggregates $5S4.O 900, and there
was no immediate necessity to add to
the amount for guns. In case OF an
emergency, which he did not anticipate,
the United States would buy guns. She
had market in England, France and
Germany. II the House expected that
there SHOULD CONTINUE to be economy in
various departments, il must sustain
the Committee on Appropr atoms when
it gave ..tellieent rsaso ds for its recon-
mendations.
Belt I'd offered An amendment au-
thorizing a detail Of naval line officers

versities and agricultural colleges, pro.
vided the total number detailed did moi
exceed 10. Adopted.
Calkins moved 70 amend the clause
prohibiting officers on the retired list
from accepting positions in the civil
service Of the United States bv provid
ing that the prohibition shall not apply
to any officer below Major IN ths
army or Commander in the navy wht
has been retired BY wounds in the ser

STRIKE At THE MINEs.-The drivers al
the Newcastle coal mine struck Thurs
day morning. but the matter WAS set-
tied and they went to work. Shortly
after this the men in tunnel No.
struck, and had not resumed work up
eral causes, or supposed causes, which
led to this action on the part of the
miners. One of these arose as follows
Shortly after Superintendent Jones ar
rived here and took charge. he believed
the miners wasted the oil furnished
them by the company, and 60 he pro-
posed to allow every man seven cents
per day additional wages and require
them to buy their oil Of the company.
After two months trial the minsfs found
that seven cents per day would not Gov
or their oil bill, and one of the oondi-
tions Of their resuming work vas that
the wages shsuld be placed at the old
figure and the company should furnish
the necessary oil and wiokinR free. To
this demand the company aoceded, and
the teamsters went to work again. The
miners in No. tunnel demand that the
time required In walking from theiI
work at Coal Creek be taken from the
company's time, instead of their own
For instance The miners all reside al
Newcastle. They 90 to Coal Creek, d
mile distant, 80 as to commence work al
Z O'Clock in she morning. They then
work till 6 O'Clock, but do not get ia
their homes until half past 6 or quartet
Z. They demand that they b allowed
to knock off work at $50, go a. to gel
home by 6 O'Clock, thus making the
company lose the time or in Other
words, pay for ten hours work and re-
oeive but nine and half hours work
The superintendent and assistant Gu
perintendent are both at the mines and
will probably agree upon compromise
before q general strike ensues.

"OUR FIRING BROTHERS. >

The Pensacolian gives us a list of
the CHECKERS" and then advises that
these be clicked out of the party
ranks" Will our brother exhibit
the commission from high heaven
which could alone give him authori-
ty TO speak in such tones from the
Judgment seat Or is our cotem-
porary only the executioner of the
party decree others have pronounc-
ed +? Either position is too undigni-
fed to be assumed by the Pensaco-
liam.
1t is noteworthy that only indie
pendents from East Florida are in
cluded in this list. Pope claims to
be a democrat, is he less guilty than
his followers ? Is DR.. Maxwell to
be included? Or by reason of other
considerations does the same action
carry weightier guilt with us than
in the west? Why does not the
Pensacolian strike nearer home :?
We have held it forever true, that
in casting his ballot man is bound
to be guided only by his conscience.
Even the homicide is held innocent
of murder till the intention is prov
ed; we are therefore bound to cred
it our brothers who err politically
with rectitude of intention till the
contrary is manifest As the gen
tlemen named are our neighbors, we
will show our contemporary how
their conduct appears to those who
do not criticise through the delusive
haze of distance. Maj. Finley is al
ready in line with us again, and we
know him SO well personally that we
are willing TO vouch that his mistake
and recantation were equally honest.
Capt. Abrams is also in the eata-
logue as given by our contemporary,
yet he supports all our candidates
except his neighbor Dougherty We
knew that the gentleman had con
sidered himself aggrieved by certain
of the party management, and we
think now, that he has failed to give
reasons sufficient to control to such
strange purpose man of his usually
clear judgment But he has always
