CHICAGO, July IA special dispatch
from Wichita, Kas., says: The following
card appeared in the Eagle yesterday:

Nurent is one Of tho reported leaders OF
tho movement to enter Oklahoma, ard there
is now no doubt that July 18th is the time
for the proposed advance. That secrecy
and caution which characterized their early
efforts is cast aside now that the troops arc
gent among them. They have subscriptions
amounting to about $50 900, and large
amount of ammunition and arms. 1t is said
that the Banner" the name Of the organi'
"a! ion will meet with unlocked for opposl-
lion in Major Sumner, q man feared alike
by Indians and white men. His plan Is
very practicable. He has given orders to
the Indians, who are located on the west
part OF the Oklahoma to pillow five yards
around their ranges, as he intends to burn
every spear of grass in tho country except
what the Indians require to Craze their
stock. Iu this way the invaders will have
nothing upon which to feed their stock,
and so will practically starve out.

ATEX ANDRIA.
MONDAY EVENING, JULY ID.

WHEN THE democratic party of Virginia
acq liezced in the Riddleberger bill, it was
only as what might be termed war meas
ure.n by which the State might be redeemed
from Mshoneism and rescued from It's con-
sequences. Under any other condition that
acouiescence would have been fat robbery,
from which it was only saved by the fact OF
the danger of utter wreck and ruin to which
the State at the time was subjected, and to
avoid which that policy was adopted. In 60
ing that far the Virginia democracy went far
Their than it had been thought it ever would
go; and certainly no body supposed an Ell
fort ever would be made to induce 1t to ex-
coed that length. The present attempt
therefore, of Mr.. Ruflin, the second auditor
of the State, to make the party believe that
he and the other original readjusters were
not only right, but were even too liberal IN
the terms they offered the creditors OF the
State, and that the debt Of Virginia amounts
only to seven millions, only shows to what
limits readiusterism would proceed if IN
confined, and that the natural conclusion OF
the process of reducing debt, except by
full and honest payment, is utter repudia'
ton, with all the inevitable moral and ma
terial evils necessarily consequent upon
such conclusion.

Threatened Strike.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 12.-It is asserted to.
day that an extensive strike is threatened
in the packing houses of this city. The
trouble is caused by the loormen or side
trimmers. For some time past they have
been handling 125 head of cattle each day.
This they claim is too much for the pay, and
a committee has been appointed to inform
the foreman of the fact. The men demand
hereafter they shall be required to handle
but 100 head per day, and that they shall
receive the same wages that they are now
getting, $24 per week. They also demand
pay whether they work or not. What &C.
ton the employers will take is not yet
known.

CHICAGO, July IA special dispatch
from Grape Creek, ILL.,, says; There is pros
pect OF Il riot over the importation OF ne
groes by the Grape Creek Coal Company to

work under any circumstances, and that
they will resist forcs with force. The Sher.

deputies on the ground, and will do all in
his power to maintain order if The negroes
conclude to go to work. There were over a
thousand strikers when the present strike
began, but the number is now reduced TO
seven or eight hundred. All are destitute
aud the condition of many CT them is abso-
lutely appalling, the women and children
having barely sufficient clothing to cover
them and hardly sufficient food to exist on.
The men insist that they never will surren-

predominating. The strikers have been out

A SHAMEFUL CONSPIRACY.
(From the Washington POST


The true inwardness of the Sennte's re-
lection of Solicitor General Goode is not yet
known, but it will all come Out in due time
Up to the very last minute the friends Of
the Solicitor General expected different
result. If the vote had been taken on any
previous day, on Wednesday or Thursday
instead OF Friday, or on any other day since
the report Of the Judiciary Committee was
submitted to the Senate, it would have been
for confirmation. Malone and his confed.
crates knew that and therefore by the man
apement of Senator Hoar, who was in charge
of the case, it was postponed and postponed
until all the opposition forces were whipped
in and thoroughly organized. Canvass after
canvass was made, the opposition never was
organized to win until Friday, but the mo
ment they were ready they acted. At one
time fourteen republican Senators at least
were inclined to vote with the democrats
for confirmation, and six of them positively
pledged themselves to vote that way
Among these were Senators Van Wyck,
Mitchell, of Oregon; Leland, Stanford, Bow
en- and Sabin. Up to the last day these
gentlemen stood by their pledges and made
it impossible for the opponents of the Solic-
ttor General to call up the case
with any hope of rejecting the
nomination. But on Friday the last
of the Independents were whipped 10,
and the sway OF Malone was asserted. One
after another came with his excuse to the
democratic Senators with whom he had
broken faith. One after another repeated
his belief in the high qualifications and
character of Mr.. Goode and acknowledged
the shamefulness of the transaction by
which his nomination was to be defeated,
but admitted that the bargain which the
republican Senators made with Malone in
1881 had to be carried out When the Senate
was otherwise equally divided between the
democrats aud the republicans Mahone's vote
gave the organization of the Senate to the
Republicans, in return for the pledge that
the republicans of the Senate should enable
him to control federal patronage in Virgin
ia, Senator Don Cameron was the man
then appointed by the republican caucus to
strike tho bargain with Malone, and the
bargain was negotiated at Mahone's loom
at the Arlington. Cameron is one Of the
re,ubli.ans who were inclined, on the mer-
If. of III, case, TO vote fer confirmation of
MIR. Goodies nomination, but Cameron is

THE CROPS. She Richmond Disputch
publishes crop reports from various sections
of the State, the conclusions arrived mt be-
ing that tho wheat cop seeded was small
but the yield was unusually large. Some
of this at maturity was beaten down BY lain
and wind, and much more has been damag-
cd in the shocks 10y sprouting and mould
ing. Corn on highlands is very promising, in
deed, though very grassy. Ifworking wealth.
er comes soon it will yield finely In tho
ow-grouEd' whence come the greater crops.
the corn has been washed out ard almost
entirely destroyed, anil it is now too late 10
replant it. The yield Oft the oat crop YVES
probably tEe largest ever known in Virgin.
ia, but the raiustorms and the Hoods have
treated it very badly, yet it is likely what
will be secured in good order will make
far more than an average crop in the Stare.
What is said If oats is largely true Of the
grass crop. OF tobacco it seems that there
is small crop planted, which, though late,
is looking fairly well, tut, like corn, is very
grassy. 1t is too early in the season TO
make any prediction at all as to what will
be the yield or quality Of tobacco. The
truck crop is good; the yield ofIrish pota-
toes is enormous; the peanut crop il only
tolerable; the cotton crop in Virginia is
fair rye very good.

THE republicans of the .. 5. Senate to-

diers, but so worded as to exclude Mr.. JEFF
f.rson Davis and all others who have polit'

Mexican soldier who lived in the South dur
ing the civil war. OF course their object
was to make it so Objectionable to Southern
