RoAcn,s STORY.
The Ships Contracted for Condemned Before
Their Keels were Laid.

New YoRE, July 90.-Mr. John Roach
last night, in speaking OF his assignn ent,
said: snow as TO the causes which have
led up to my assignment, strictly speaking,
it is not a failure; that is to say, my as.
signees will be able to pay two dollars for
every one dollar Of liabilities, II they real
izs anything like the real value Of my pro-
perty. Icannot now say what the exact
amount OF my liabilities are, nor what the
sum OF my assets will be to meet 1t, but ii
were not 80 old a man, and II ! had
health awhile longer, ! could pull things
straight again. Itwas my great ambition,
that our nation should recover It's glory
and prosperity on the seas. wanted to
prove that we could do business on our
own bottoms, and that other nations with
less resources were not more sagacious and
enterprising on the seas. ! have given my
life and my fortune 10 that end, and even
in the presence Of the calamity, am
proud OF what John Roach has accom-.
plished."
In regard to his contracts with the Gov
eminent, Mr.. Roach said:
II tell you, my friend, that those boats
were condemned before their keels were
laid. They were condemned in Congress.
The Democracy dared not oppose the plan
Of new navy; because It had become a
very popular notion. The people as a
mass wanted navy. Bat they (the Dem
ocrats,) opposed the appropriation be-
cause, as they claimed in their Congress-
ional speeches, the money would not be
honestly spent. The appropriation was
made against this clamor, and Bids for the
work were asked for. Mine was the low
est bid, because had far greater facilities
for the work than any other ship
builder. secured the contracts, and be-
gan the work OF construction. In the
meantime, the Democracy had come into |
power, and prepared to prove their proph. |
ecy that the appropriation was not hon
estly spent. The Dolphin, strong, sub.
excellent vessel, was condemned
on the most puerile techuicalities, and, TO
add to this injustice, Mr.. Garland has re.
pudiated the contract and practically said
that there exists no binding agreement
between mo and the Government. That
capped the climax. Consequently, in the
best interests OF my creditors and the Gov
ernment, l judged 1t best to call a halt,
pay olf my inen and surrender my prop
erty to trustees, who could pay my debts
and leave me what balance there might be
for my last DAYS"

EtIlfe.
New York, July 2O:-The Tribune this
morning prints an interview with Will
liam H. Vanderbilt in regard to the neGo-
tiations for n settlement o; tho difficulties
between the New York Central and the
Pennsylvania roads, Mr.. Vanderbilt said
that he as yet knew but little az 10 the de-
tails Of what lIld already been done In
that direction, but added:
~ am told that pretty fair progress has
been made, and that no serious obstacles
have he0n found yet; but the matters are
60 complicated and intricate that would
not like to say whether think the nego.
tiations will be successful or not"
In regard TO the prevalent rimors that
some Of his associates In his Pennsylvania
enterprises were unwilling TO abandon
Them, Mr.. Vanderbilt said: II don't know
about that, but l have q rather favorable
report from General McGee and Mr..
Twombly, who jIst returned from Phila.
delphia. The South Pennsylvania Is a
good investment, and there Ia plenty Of
business between Pittsburgh and Phila-
delphia for the road. l do not care par.
tiOGlatly TO give II up, but what do will
be for the benefit OF oil who are with me,
and for the public good, too, when it
comes TO that matter. This railroad war
must be settled sometime, suppose, and
perhaps this snmpeE 10 as good time as
any,"
IN answer TO the question as to how
much the Central would give for the West
Shore road, MIR. Vanderbilt said;
"Well, can tell better when we buy 1t.
The Central can pay co much Gs anybody,
l guess, but il someone else wants II lie
must understand that the war is not yet
settled, and will not be until We have the
West Shore. We wouli just RS soon lght
new men, and perhaps rather, il they
have some money. This Ggllting bank
rupt railway Is tedious work, | tell you ;
but no one shall buy the West Shore TO
make money ont OF Us, and they snail not
have any OF our roads until ne have that
one. You see, there are a good
many things to be settled before
the railroad war will be ended.
look on tho West Shore road Just as
! would on man whose hand ]
had found in ray money drawer-a com.
mon miserable thief. The fact is, We have
got the thief 8 hand firmly caught in the
drawer, and We are going 10 keep it there,
too. The :nen who put their money into
the West Shore were deceived. They
thought as soon rs the road was finished
it would do a great business. Did they
suppose We were going to sit still and let
them steal all our Customerag Why, the
road is run at loPs 81 Si00OO,G0O u ytar.

CLEVELAND, o., July 2O.-The strikers
we're very quiet to-day on account Of the
almost intolerable heat. The mon are
still determined not to go to work at re-
duction and the general impression among
all classes ia that the mill will remain idle
for some time. The company still insists
on reduction and saystha the men must
accept 1t or do without work altogether.
1t is asserted by some that there will bo
change in affairs by the hrSt Of August,
and it Is hoped that tho employees Will be
at work and making fair wages. The
workmen seem determined to hoard their
earnings and to act as iaw.abiding citizens
aud no further trouble is anticipated by
the authorities. All vgtGhmen employed
by tho Rolling Mill Company have been
discharged and the gates closed up. This
is regarded by the citizens as an indica-
ton that the mills vii! not be started up

About the Immigration to This
Country During the Past Year.

WARRINGTON, D. G., July 2O.-special
Agent VIM. NJ. Williams, Of the Treas
ury Department, has been investigating,
by order OF Secretary Manning, the fitness
for official position Of Jerry Mulroy,
appointed to subordinate position by
the Surveyor Of the Port Of Cincinnati,
and reports that the records Of the police
court and workhouse show that Mulroy
was arrested on December Z, 1876, for the
petty larceny Of dog valued at Sl.S5,
found guilty and fined s95 and costs, and
sent to the workhouse in default OF the
payment Of the fine.
On the Goth OF the same month the
Board OF Directors oi the workhouse met
and investigated the matter and ordered
his discharge on the grounds that the
otTense was trivial one and that the
prosecution was the result Of spite work.
1t was also charged that Jerry Mulroy
had been found guilty OF drunkenness
and fined $40 aud costs, and sent to the
workhouse August 0, 1875. The special
agent says: Il AM clearly Of the opinion
that this last charge has reference " some
other person"
In support Of this opinion he submits a
statement Of police officer McFarland, who
was the prosecuting witness, and who
AYERS that the culprit on this occasion was
not tha Jerry Mulroy who is now assist
ant custodian Of the custom house.
A number Of papers from Mulroy'a re-
cent employers are enclosed Us vouchers
as to his respectabiity and fitness for
public position, and the special agent
heard OF nothing against him worse than
the charge Of being an active politician.
The special agent also reports in the
clse OF Augustus o. Conner, colOred, ap'
pointed by Surveyor Caldwell as lanItor
In the Registered letter Department OF
the Postolicc at Cincinnati. The agent
finds that Conner served TORN
OF three years in the Ohio Peniten-
liary, having been CONVICTED Of steal.
ing . watch and chain. Conner told
the special ageut that he did not steal thp
watch and chain, but undertook to pawn
them for the man who did the stealing.
The special agent is not able TO find any
one VINO knows Connor but what has u
good word for him, and there is no Qnes.
lion but that he has proved himself use
ful and trustworthy man for the last few
years."
