PLACES TO GO THIS SUMMER.
Steamers and Summer Resorts for the
ronyontonca ~ yVa.hIncInn P,onIp

Steamers and Summer Resorts for the
Convenience OF Washington People.
During the summer season the principal
recreation Of a large number OF people Is
confined TO such opportunities as are fur
nished by the steamboats, on the Potomac,
and visit to the constantly.iucreasiu
places Of resort that nature, with but slight
assistance from the architect and landscape
gardener, has so bounteously supplied our
beautiful river. A visit to the river front
shows that the steamers Lady Of the Lake,
MOseley, Excelsior and Leary will make
daily trips to Fortress Monroe and Nor
folk, stopping at Colonial Beach and Plney
Point. These boats are well patronized, as
the trip affords delightful sail down the
bay, besides an opportunity Of visiting the
mary points OF historic interest at the
places named. The w. w. Corcoran, Of
course, continues to convey the patriotic
pilgrim to the tomb of Washington, at the
same time giving an opportunity to ladies
and children to spend several hours each
day at the old manor Of Marshall Hall, now
one Of the loevliest spots accessible to the
city.
The Potomac Ferry Company, in addition
TO the regular ferry boats, have the elegant
new steamer Wakefield, commanded by
Capt. Ross, which makes all the river land
ings between Washington and Nomlni, and
brings large portion OF the vegetables,
fruits, fish, &C., Of those localities to this
market They have also rentted and put
in first class condition the Arrowsmith, to
run between here and Colonial Beach. She
will be commanded by Capt Chas. Entwlsle,
with Purser Thomas Garnett, both OF whom
are familiar to travellers on the Potomac.
She makes her first trip tomorrow. The
Mattano and Mary Washington will run to
about tho same business as last season,
the latter having secured new resort,
called River View, n short distance this side
of Fort Washington. The Thompson 10 now
undergoing repairs at the navy yard, and
| will shortly be placed on her usual route to

Lower Cedar Point have not yet been an

LABOR TROUBLES.
a stubborn Englishman and Irish
Miners.


EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: Before
the strike Just ended about 10000 tons of
coal were shipped from this place per month
and often more, but to-day that figure is
short.
The superintendent, George Dodds, made
a rule that every miner fined by the mayor,
no matter how small the ofTense was, will
be discharged from the employment OF the
Southwestern Virginia Improvement Com
pany. The miners appointed committee
TO inform the superintendent that they, as a
free people, ARE no longer going to submit to
such despotic government as he has en-
forced; that they are going TO throw
off the yoke Of tyranny and refuss
TO bow the bended knee to any
refused to comply with their Just demand,
and further says that he has established
the rule Of discharging employees for small
o1Tenses ut the request Of the mayor and
council Of Pocahontas. This the latter
positively deny. This week the super
intendent has discharged all the Irish
miners, himself being an Englishman. We
are not surprised at his action. Everybody
knows the love a stubborn Englishman has
for the Irish race. The result is that
large number OF the best miners are leaving
this place disgusted, and II this Is not
stopped soon the company will be left with
lot Of green hands, and then the danger
of another disastrous explosion will be
plain to the company. The board OF di-
rectors is composed Of good and rich men,
and all this could be easily settled by not
putting In power man that is not even q
citizen of the United States to rule this
free people with an irod rod
Pocahoptas, like many young mining
towns, has seen its wild days, but better
class ofpeople are now living here, and the
proof Of this is that during the strike every
miner kept sober and remained at home
and the mayor refused to appoint a special
police for the occasion. Like any man
with guilty conscience, he was afraid of
his own life, and had q bodyguard to pro-
tect him in case of danger. Edward
Hughes, president of the federation
district, No. 8. is here with the
board and we are informed that they will
demand 10 cents more on the ton OF coal.
1t is well known that this company is max
ing big money, for several good reasons.
They bought about As, 900 acres of land at
Sl,25 per acre, and to-day It is worth mill
ions on top Of millions. The miners receive
only S5 cents per ton for digging the
coal, and the company sells 1t at Norfolk
S4,40 per ton. The company has also a
large ''pluck mel store, and sells goods at
high prices. PooA,

we sell our finest grades at prices charged else

prices charged elsewhere for TRASH 1t is be-
cause, having paid for them, they are our prop

as we please.

darted upon the man, grasping his white
apparel in pretty rough style.

told of the proceedings of our little party
