HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Sept. 2.-The
Times of this city says:
The famous Hatfield Mccoy feul is at
an end. After partaking in the bloody
butchery of all they could kill, after
living as outlaws, with prices on their
heads, defying arrest and counting meet
ings with their enemies, after seeing
their young men shot down. their old
ones murdered, with no good accom-
plished, they have Mt last agreed on
either side to let the matter rest. Two
men were seen Oh oar streets day or
two ago. conversing together in u
friendly manner and together taking in
the sights of our city. One was q broth
er-in-law of the old man Mccoy, the
other o son-in-law of Anse Hatfield
They spoke freely of the famous feud,
and said that by common consent it
would be allowed to cease. Both the
parties have gone back to work and are
living Eoaest lives without troubling
about each other. West Virginia and
Kentucky may both rejoice ut the term
ination of the feud, ana may hope that
their annals may never again be stained
with similar occurrence.

The Morning Post compares tho
southampton strike with the great
strikes at Pittsburg and Chicago, which
resulted to disaster to life and property.
The writer attributes the violence Of
the American strikers to the severity Of
the measures adopted to repress them.
The American authorities are much
reader to adopt summary and harsh
treatment than the English are. There
is really better feeling between the
classes here than in America, and it re-
suits in cool and humane conduct on the
part of those in power.
