lBy telegraph 20 tho Dispatch.]
New York. August l2.-At the Grand
Central depot this morning there no longer
existed a sign of the strike; Passenger
trains were coming in and going out with
all appearance of the usual regularity.
The inflow and outflow of passengers was
as great as ever. and excepting for the I'M
usual number of policemen idly standing
about the various entrances OF the depot.
the most careful observer would be unable
10 perceive any lingering indication OF the
tie-up that on Friday night threatened 10
be so formidable.
General Manager Toucey arrived at his
officeat $50 this morning and found there
awaiting him atelegram from the assistant
superintendent Of the Syracuse yards, sta
ting that order had been fully restored
there, and that trains were running Win
out interruption. This, he said, ended the
strike.
Vice President Webb, who also reached
his Office at $3.50 O'Clock this morning. said
passenger.trains would be run to-day on
the same schedule as Yesterday. Arrange
ments ars being completed TO run out
freight-trains from the ty-ffth-street
and Thirty-thrd-stree yards. He said the
road had all the men il needed now.
He did not know whether any OF the old
men had been taken back or not, as every
man employed WAS thhtu oh rs ~ i'W hnii'
There is a smaller police force on guard at
the Grand Central depot to-day than was
there yesterday, and there are none ylsi-
bic in the yards, but on each Of the bridges
crossing the tracks from the depot t.
Fiftv-fourth street there were stationed
three or four policemen.
At $50 o'clock this morning there were
assembled "A few men at the employment
bureau seeking work, but the doors had
not yet been opened.
THE CRISIS NOT REACHED.
New York, August Notwithstanding
the statements of the officers of the New
York Central road that the backbone OF
the strike is broken and the apparent be-
lief of the public IN these assertions, the
strikers themselves are still confident that
the crisis has not yet been reached, and
that before the week is over the road Will
be tied up as tight as a drum. No facts are
given to the public however, to emphasize
this confidence

WASHINGTON, August Accompanying
the lottery bin presented to the Senate to-
day was letter dated July 2lst from At
torney- General Miller giving an opin-
ion upon other anti-lottery bills be-
fore the committee. Legislation Of this
character chat is, designed to exclude
newspapers containing lottery advertise
ments from mails. says the Attorney
General. has been upheld by the courts,
and il seems to be settled that it is compe-
tent for Congress to authorize postmasters
to refuse the use of the mails to any per-
sons engaged in the lottery business. The
Attorney General thinks there can be no
question of the power Of Congress TO
make the mailing Of lottery letters and cir
culars continuous offence TO and In
GLIDING the place of delivery. or at least
there can be no question that it is compe-
tent for Congress TO make the offence pun
ishable as well in the district in which the
post-office of destination is situated as that
in which the unlawful matter is mailed.
The decision of the Supreme Court in
the Paliser case is directly in point. 1t is
generally believed OH the Republican side
of the House that a special order will be
made setting apart Saturday next for the
consideration of the anti-lottery bill.
Every effort is being made TO secure the
presence of every member on that day.
