! WASHINGTON, April 22d.-A bar erected
| across the corridor and several watchmen
excluded the general public rom the room
occupied by the select committee inves,i-
eating the labor troubles in the Southwest
The adoption of this precaution had been
made necessary by the limited accommoda-
tions offered by the small room and the
large crowd of curious spectators that filled
| the room yesterday.
| Jay Gould was in attendance about half
an hour before the committee. He was ac-
companied by A. L. Hopkins, Vice-P Presi-
dent of the Missouri Pacific Railroad, and
| by General Swayne, its counsel The reso-
| luton under which the committee is pro-
| ceeding was read TO Mr.. Gould, and he was
| invited to give his views upon the subject
| of the strike. In very low voice Gould
read a statement showing in detail the
number of men employed by the Missouri
Pacific system. Gould explained that the
strike occurred in his absence He pro-
duced and read the kilograms passing be-
tween Powderly, Hoxie and Hopkins.
At the date of the strike he had IA, sis en-
| ploges, while the strikers number 3.7I7
men, principally employed in the machine
shops along the tracks. What followed
the striker" asked Gould, showing signs
of deep feeling. They seized the ST.
Louis, Kansas City. Sedalia, Texarkana
and our terminal facilities. They took
| possession and said No man shall run a
train over that road That is what thew
said, exclaimed Gould, in a voice exhibit
ing traces of strong agitation ''Our loyal
| employees could not run the trains, and
were deprived of the power to earn their
wages. That was what followed the strike.
1t was forcible possession-I cannot call it
anything else-something the Car of Rus
! sia would hesitate to do with his millions
| of soldiers behind him" Gould then re-
| cited at length his version of the interview
between himself and Powderly and other
| Knights of Labor, which has been fully
covered in these dispatches already.
GoULD's EXAMINATION RESUMED.
The committee reassembled at 8 P. NJ
when the examination of Gould was re-
sumed. He was inquired of by Grain as to
| the ways of construction companies in issu-
| ing stock to themselves out of proportion
| TO the work done, but Gould denied any
knowledge of such dark and questionable
| transactions. He had never heard of and
did not believe in such causes of complaint
| as Powderly allnded to in the first days
testimony-such as complaints of employees
in the matter of hospital taxation, home
steads, and stores belonging to Superinten-
dents and foremen.
He was inquired of by Cultivate as to
stock speculation growing cut of the strike,
and he said he knew nothing of the kind
After listening to Gould's review of the
conference with Powderly and the outcome
of it, Outhwaite asked "Then YOU did
not intend or want to have any arbitration
or effort to settle any difficulties with the

700 for the preceding year.

increase of 1856 100000.

The available balance in the Treas
ury is increased $34, ,514,179.

Tie Natchez Banner of Thursday,
has the following important and Gig
nificant news regarding the North and
South railroad scheme:
The syndicate who are to build the
new railroad from New Orleans to
Dacota, are in session at Fort Scott and
we learned this morning that tele-
gram has been received from them as
king that committee of our citizens
60 to that place and confer with them.
This is the most favorable move the
syndicate has made toward us and it
has been decided to send Messrs. j.
w. Lambert, J. N. Carpenter, I. Low
enstien, S. E. Rumble and A. II. Fos-
ster to meet them with instructions
to secure the road. If this great en-
terprise decides TO go this way as it

Dear Slr:-My attention has just
this moment been called to the
following item clipped from the
Shreveport Times:
"Col. George w. McCranie, of Mon
roe, has written an open letter to Col
G. H. Moore, chairman OF the Boat
ner executive committee, asking when
his committee is to meet, and where"
I am very sorry not TO have seer
"your open letter" 50 that I could
have answered it fully aud squarely.
I have been extremely anxious tC
take all necessary steps to bring about
harmony and brotherly feeling within
our ranks. For 2 days I have been en-
gagged constantly in writing to mem>
bers of the committee, of which am
chairman, and will act as soon as ]
hear from them, and ascertain their
views and wishes.
had hoped the call for the meet
ings of the two committees could
have been mutual between Mr.. Gram
dali and myself, for reasons which l
have set forth to my committee, this
could not be done. Though
this has not been done, have such
great confidence in the love of all
classes for our party, that 1 am sure
the people will see that the aspirations
of no particular man, nor the opposi>
tion of any class shall produce farther
discord, or create factions.
If you will kindly furnish me With
a copy of the open letter referred to, I
will attempt to answer.
Very respectfully and truly yours,
G. H. MOORE.

ferred to by Col. Moore.-ED. TELL

Dear Sir-Mr. A. w. Crandall, I no.
tice, has called meeting of his COM
mittce to be held at Rayville, July 2.
What action do you, as chairman OF
your committee propose to take? If
suggestions are in order, I would sug,
gest that you call a meeting of your
committee for the same time and
place. The reasons for this are obs
vious. 1t is highly desirable that all
dissensions in the party should be
healed before the congressional CAM
paign opens, and it appears to me
that this can be accomplished only by
the united action of the two commit,
tees. 1t will not be sufficient for your
committee to remain silent. If you
could guarantee that your committee
would meet soon afterwards and ems
dorse the action Of July I'd, that
would be a partial solution OF the
difficulty, but by no means 80 salts.

committees.
The matter deeply interests all who
have at heart the future good of the
party and 1 hope will meet earnest
consideration at your hands.
An early reply would grealy oblige,

A special from Washington dated
the Sd, inst, to the New Orleans States
says: "The Senate Commerce com.
mittee will report favorably on the
bill authorizing the Mississippi and
Louisiana Railroad Company to build
a bridge over the Mississippi at that
point'" With bridge across the
Mississippi at Natchez, the proposed
North and South Railroad could tap
the Natchez and Red River Railroad
some where in Catahoula parish, or is
it possible that the object of a bridge
across the Mississippi at Natchez is
for the purpose of diverting that road
from the Ouachita country?
