He Will Not Accept the Nomination in
the Fourth District Under Any
Circumstances.
IBy telerrapn to lhe pIspatch. !

WASHINGTON, ID. o., August &c.
The Republican prints the following
letter, received by gentleman in Pc
tersburg, Va, from Senator Malone :
OLD POINT COMFORT, VA,
August "a, 1856.
Dear Sir,-Any suggestion which
places me in the attitude Of candidate
Tor the nomination for Congress from
the Fourth district, or which, as if to
invite, conveys the implication that
l Will accept the nomination if
rendered me is at once dis
tasteful and at variance with
my unyaryiDg and freely-exprossed
opinion in that connection. | protest
that be not put in either Of these OBJ
Jectionable relations to the party and
the district. ] must and will repudi-
ate every implication which presents
me as a candidate or as willing to ac-
cept the nomination, which | do not de-
sire. While always willing to serve
where duty and the interests of the
party command that shall, | have
never thought an emergency would come
which might bring the party in this case
to conclude that | ought to take the
nomination, and that even then, in the
event Of such an unlikely contingency,
solution would be found to satisfy the
paramount interests Of conjunction. |
have all along, during the past six
months and more, said to nnmberless
gentlemen who desired that l
should consent to take the nomination
that | did not desire q seat in Con-
gress; that under no circumstances
could / consent to be considered a can.
didate; that could not conceive of an
exigency likely to arise where party
duty would or could compel the ac-
ceptance Of the nomination. | did not
desire, nor could | allow, my name
to be used to defeat the nomi-
nation Of any candidate Of good
standing in the party. This has been
my position, and | cannot allow it to
be changed. My desire has BEEN
and that desire has been repeatedly sx-
pressed-thst the people should be left
free, unimportuned by any a,pirant or
bis friends, to choose the best man, ua-
pledged to any person to represent him
at the Convention, and that delegates so
chosen, after an interchange Of views
with oo-delegates from the cities and
counties composing the district, would,
with impressive unanimity, name the
best man for Congress in the interest Of
the country, the State, the district, and
the party. Yours truly,
MAHONB.

TIE NEW YORK CAR RIOTS.
The Situation Yesterday 49, RiotOus
Scenes Along the Lines.
by Telegraph TO ,he Dispatch. ]


lBy Telegraph TO the Dispstch.l
NEW YORK, August 2G. - Cars
started out early on Broadway, but un-
der strong police protection. No
crowd was tolerated anywhere. When
car No. 900 Of the Broadway line got
down to Forty-fourth street, about a
quarter to 10 o'clock, the strikers and
roughs were watching it in large force,
but they kept moving. The driver Of a
wagon INSTRUCTED the car at crossing,
and the mob attacked the car and threw
1t of the track. A wild scene occurred
for q few minutes, and thousands Of
persons in the vicinity were attracted
to the spot. Squads of police
came down and began some promiscu-
Gus clubbing. Several arrests were
made, and the triangular square at the
junction of Broadway and Seventh ave.
nue. was cleared with the exception OF
the crowds that lined the sidewalks on
the Seventh-avenue side. Captain Kill
lilea came down from the depot and
took charge of the police and soon re-
stored order. Several Broadway cars
came down aud passed without mo-
iestation, while the desperate and
angry mob watched for the OPP
portunity to obsuuct them. Stones
and bricks were hurled at several Of
the cars at intervals, but no serious in-
Jury was done to person or property.
That considerable bad blood was
abroad during the night was indicated
by the police returns. Besides the
fights and shooting ARRAYS between the
strikers and :" scabs b" reported 10 the
papers, some Of which figured in the
Police Courts to-day, five cases Of bro
ken heads were reported, in which the
unknown asssilAnts escaped. The
fights all took place on the West Side,
in the camp Of the strikers. A
strong force OF police has been sta
toned at the Forty.fourth-street switch,
and orders have been issued that 1t IS
to be protected at all hazards. Captain
Killilea spoke to the police, and inti-
mated that if any car fails to getthrough'
and the officers return alive, they might
as well resign from the force. The
Broadway company have evidently no
intention to give in to the strikers.
Ii is feared that unless there is some
settlement tonight there will be gene
raj tie.up Tomorrow. A gang Of
strikers and other rowdies have been
haunting the stables Of the Belt Line,
at Twenty third street aud North ave-
hue, all day, spelling for fights. No
cars were run from there to-day. There
were several slight disturbances, but
the police on guard are preserving or
der. A plot is said TO be on foos to
blow up the Tbird-Ayeuue railroad
depot, but precautions have been taken
against such an occurrence. The
threatening mob near the stables, at
Fifisth street and Seventh avenue, was
quickly dispersed by the police.

LABOR'S ENEMY.

When asked the other day if he could
speak authoritatiyely as to the attitude of
the trade unions toward the disgraceful
doingS in Chicago, Master Workman
PowDERLY replied: Il can. There is
not trade union in America that will up-
hold the men who have been engaged in
such scenes of bloodshed and destruction. -
These are timely words well spoken.
Coming from the acknowledged head of the
labor organization they carry weight with
them. But it is not enough that
Master Workman PowDERLY should speak
out in reference to this matter Every labor
union in the country should adopt resolu-
tons indorsing Mr.. PowDERLY's opinions.
and those resolutions should be proclaimed
to the world. The charge has been made
that the workingmen's unions were con-
taminated by the lurking demon of anarchy.
This charge has been banded about and
made the argument Tor creating a public
sentiment hostile to labor unions Now is
the opportunity for the workingmen to
meet the charge and refute it, which can
be best done by plain, outspoken
declaration Of principles which will declare
that the anarchist is the workingman's
enemy. 1t is true that the dynamiter is to-
day the most dangerous foe arrayed against
the labor interest. And it is all the more
dangerous because it seeks to shelter behind
the workingmens banner, and commits re-
voting crimes i'll the name of labor reform.
As prominent member of the Knights of
Labor order has declared, 1.-The riot in Chi
cago was shot fired directly at the heart
of laborn

CHEAP LANDS.

If the several land forfeiture bills which
have been reported to the house of repre-
sentatives by the committee on public lands
are passed by congress it will restore to the
public domain over sc, 600, 600 acres of land.
Allowing 100 acres to each family this will
reclaim land enough to make homesteads
for $40, 600 families. There is also another
bill creating the territory of Oklahoma
which, if passed into a law, will open H.
900, 600 acres more to settlement-enough to
give homesteads of 100 acres each for 70, 900
families This looks to be chance for tenn
porary solution of the labor problem. If
provision was made by which 61O,00O
families could be taken from the ranks of
