DUQUo1N, ILL, Sept. 23-Yesterday
Capt. W. P. Halliday, of Cairo, Ill,
proprietor of the st. Johns mines here,
sent up several darkies to be put I'd
work in his coal mines, and to-day
some 200 or 800 of the local miners,
who are on a strike, went to the mines
where the darkies were at work and
ordered them to quit work and leave
the city within five hours or suffer the
consequences. M. G. Wright, the SUI
perintendent of the mines, t~elegraphed
the state of affairs to Sheriff Williams,
at Pinkneyville, and asked him to
come over at once, protect the proper
ty and dispel the mob. The miners
are determined the "black-legs" shall
not be allowed to work. The sheriff
and posse are expected at any minute,
when, if the miners do not dispense,
trouble will follow and blood may be
shed.

The CoIored Voters of Virginia
Coming Over to the Democratic
Leader.
Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.
RICHMOND, VA, Sept. 23-The con
vention of colored men, which is call
ed to assemble in Lynchburg on Sep
TENDER 30th, will take a new depart
ure, and, it is said, boldly indorse the
Democratic State ticket, Of which Gen.
Fitz Lee is the head. Heretofore the
policy of the colored opponents of
Malone has been to place a straight.
out Republican ticket in the field to
divide the colored vote. The effect
of that plan was to give the Demo-
Gratis indirect assistance. The col
ored men who are at the head of the
present move believe that the time has
come when the colored voters of the
South should act independently and
boldly declare their determination to
support either of the two parties they
may see 6t. The call for the Lynch
burg convention is signed by W. ]. S.
Bowe, as chairman of the State COM
mittee, and J. B. Syphax, secretary.
Those who were delegates to Mahone's
last convention are excluded from par
ticipation in this body. 1t is claimed
that the convention will be composed
of something like three hundred dele
gates, who will represent a pretty fair
proportion of the voters Of their race
in this State.
