IT is due to Senator N. b. Scott to soy
that he consented to the use OF his name
ipconnection with the Republican nomi-
nation for Mayor upon condition that no
other Republican would accept the nomi-
nation. In the event Of any other name
being presented he desired that his own
should not be used. He had no wish to
be Mayor, made no canvass and was glad
that another good Republican was willing
TO serve. The contest in the convention
placed Senator Scott in an attitude not Of
his own seeking and to that extent did
him injustice.

THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
The cause Of the trouble Is this: Pre-
yious to the annual meeting OF the branct
managers Of Oliver & Co. it was fount
that owing to. depression in trade thei
goods were accumulating. AT this meet
ing it was decided they must restrict, pro
duction. They first tried running on hal
time ut the old rate OF wages, This wa
done for fortnight, but it proved unsatis

proposed reduction OF l2i percent on tn,
average throughout the entire factory ant
run full time. The Poles would not agret
to this and went out and were out abou
three weeks when they then agreed
to accept the reduction and went to wori
December 8, except the ring leader
in the previous strike whom the oliyer
refused to take. These ring leaders in
cited this riot and had the men who wert
at work make such unreasonable demands
that they knew the 0livers could not &C
cept 1t. This demand was not only the
restoration of old wages previous TO the
l2i percent reduction but . considefa
Bile advance. Before this cut the men were
earning an average Of from Sl.50 to s. &
day. The strike was made without know,
ing whether the 0livers would or woult
not accede to their demands, the striker
refusing TO send committee TO them L
consider their grievances.

ST. GEORGE, w. Va, Jan. 12.-The week
Just ended has been q momentous one tc
the people of St. George and the surround
ing country. Never at any time, not even
during the war, when the town was re-
poatedly captured, has the excitementrun
so high.
The difficulty grew out Of the contest
case of Adams and Mayer for the Circuit
Clerkship. Adams was declared elected
last fall by fourteen majority, and Mayer
gave notice of contest. When the case
came up for trial at the County Court
soon after, Adams attorney contended for
a trial as soon as arrangements could be
made for. II. TO this Mayors attorneys
objected, and at their request the trial was
set for February 7th. With this under
standing, the lawyers for Adams went
ahead with their preparations, and sum.
moned their witnesses for that time. All
this being in shape Adams started East on
a business trip, intending TO visit the ex-
position at New Orleans and return in
time for the trial. p. Lipscomb and w.
B. Maxwell, attorneys for Adams, were
called TO Beverly to defend an important
lawsuit there, and E. Harper, one Of the
members OF our County Court, was also in
Beverly interested in the same suit.
Thus there was no one in st. George to
lookaiter theinterestsof Adams, and taking
advantage OF the absence OF Mayors law
yen, B. Parsons and L. S. Anvil, calleda
new time for the trial, and placed it jan
uary7. Adams was not in tho State, and
was not notified. Two membersof the
court only sat on the trial. Mayer sum-
moned his witnesses, and the work Of the
court commenced. Asst isa business Of
risk to express opinions OF courts OF JUS
tice it will suffice to say that public opin-
ion is bitter in its expressions OF disappro-
baton. Mayer presented his cause. Not
u witness or an advocate appeared for
Adams, and on the second day Mayer was
declared elected by six majority. He
swore in Immediately, and that night
went to Beverly and had Judge Ice sign
the necessary papers, and returned to
st. George by seven o'clock the next even

Is being paid TO the remains. Word has

Mr.. Edmunds, President pro tem., called

ing the army Of Generals in Chief OF said
army, one person to be put on the retired
list, and the total number now allowed by
law shall be increased accordingly.
Mr.. Edmunds asked unanimous consent
that this bill be now considered. Every
Senator would see its purport. 1t would
authorize the President to appoint Ulysses
S. Grant to the army OF the United States
and 'obyiate the objection urged by the
President against the Fitz John Porter
bill. Mr.. Cockrell objected and the bill
went over till tomorrow.
Mr.. Hawley moved to proceed to the
consideration OF his bill to print General
Sherman's historical statement. On this
question, when the nays were called, a
dead silence was maintained on the Dem
ocratic side, and the Senate proceeded to
the consideration OF the question.

TUE RuMoRs OF WAR.

Now began the rumors Of war in st.
George. The people believed the whole
proceeding illegal, aud their indignation
knew no bounds. Mayors friends made
an effort to lock Adams out on Friday.
Up to this time Adams had not returned,
and had not been heard OF. Parties in
Baltimore had been telegraphing for two
days trying 10 find him. Telegrams had
been sent to al the Southern cities and to
svery hotel in New Orleans, but nothing
had been heard OF him. On Thursday he
was found in Washington City, and on
Friday evening he reached st. George,
and entered the Clerk office about half IN
hour before Mayors return from Beverly.
Threats began to be made by both
sides-ior the lines began to be clearly
drawn between the two sides-and the
Sheriffput in an appearance to keep order.
Crowds assembled in the Courthouse.
Adams had possession OF the office.
When Mayer arrived he collected his men
and marched to the Clerks office and dc.
manded admission. 1t was refused him
because his papers were irregular, and
their legality was doubtful.
