ed. The villagers went to the boats

no MATTER how remiss Governor
Pattison may have been i'll preserving
law and order in Homestead at the be-
ginning of the recent troubles there, no
body can justly blame him for any dere-
LECTION in that respect now. When a
delegation of the strikers called upon
him yesterday, he said to them
sTherc are $1,000, 900 in the State trea-
sury and, if necessary, every dollar will
be expended to put down the lawless-
ness which has given the name of
Homestead such an i'll SAVIOR Should
this amount prove insufficient we will
issue State bonds to any amount. We
will bankrupt the Commonwealth in an
honest endeavor to uphold the suprem-
acy of the law" All wise and patriotic
citizens will approve this expressed de
termination OF the Governor. Under Il
republican government the strict en-
forcemcnt of the law is the only safety
of the people, and when. under such Il
form of government, law can be set at
defiance with impunity, the man on
horseback is not far Oil.

THE RICHMOND AND DANvILLE
RAILRoAD.-Hopes are entertained by
some Of the persons interested in Rich
mond and Danville affairs that the sys-
TEN will eventually be placed upon a
sound basis without being broken into
separate parts. 1t is said that a party
headed by w. P. Clyde is confident of
succeeding with the plan because it is
found possible with the amount OF
money now at call to extend the float
ing Indebtedness of the Richmond and
Danville amounting to $5,000,000 for a
term of two years, with the right to
liquidate it at any time. The receiver
can issue certificates for current eX-
penses, and there is first claim on re-
ceipts, low rates can be gotten by the
receivers for goods and supplies needed,
which the regular officers have not been
able to do recently. In view of these
favorable circumstances, the Clyde
party, it is said, hope to put the system
on a sound basis without clearinghouse
assistance or radical reorganization

ACCORDING to accounts from Home

ACCORDING to accounts from Home
stead, the non-union white men who
have gone to work there have more OF
the natural feeling Of their race than
those whose places they have taken, for
whereas the latter used to eat and drink
with the negroes who worked with
them, the former positively refused to
do so, and would only agree to remain
upon the assurance that u separate eat
ing room should be provided for the
negroes. This, indicates, too, that
the non-union men are native Ameri-
cans, in whom the feeling referred to is
more strongly developed than in any
other nation.

THE FACT that Il man who is in need
of steady employment, and has it,
strikes, unless he has previously secured
as remunerativc work elsewhere, is
certainly no evidence of his possession
of an extra degree of common sense.
But the foolishncss of the Pittsburg
strikers is phenomenal, for they have
even asked the council ofthat city tore
turn TO Mr.. Carnegie the million dollars
he gaveit, before the strike, with which
to establish Il free library for the use of
the workingmen there. Such a patent
case ofspiting your face by cutting off
your nose has rarely been heard OF. Nh.
Carnegie, the man they hate, would be
benefited to the extent of a million dol
lars, which would more than cover all
his possible loss by the strike, should
their request be granted, but what con-
ceivabc advantage it would be to the
strikers, they alone can tell.

receive from the professors Instructions
upon the subjects of the lectures deliv-
cred. Such an announcement would
not, now, be strange il made byanorth-
ern or western university, but, coming
from the University Of Virginia, it
shows that New England isms have at
last found an abiding place even in the

wonder now that so many Of the Uni

Anairs ut Homestead.

PTrTsBURG, Pa, July 22.-The
steamer Tide left the wharf here at 8
o'clock for Homestead with about forty
men on board and she will continue to
make trips all day, carrying men to
Homestead in connection with the Lit
tie Bill which took up load early this
morning. The boat was guarded by a
squad of policemen. The boats will be
busy ali day and it is evident that
large number of men will be sent up.
All morning men with satchels and
bundles were coming to and going
from the Office of the Carnegie COM
pany, and it looks us if the company
were making good their claim that all
the men needed could be obtained. As
soon as the Tide left, men, evidently
watchers, sent messages by the West
ern Union, evidently to Homestead to
notify the men there the boat had left.
PHILADELPHIA, July 22.-The active
recruiting of non-union iron workers for
the Carnegie works at Homestead was
begun in this city yesterday, and
train at $40 last night CARRIED away
about 80 men. The agent of the COM
pany in this city said that while the COM
pany had not advertised for men, work
men throughout the country, attracted
by the labor scale of wages at Home
stead, were coming in daily and all
such as gave evidence of being good
skilled laborers were being employed
by him.
PrTTsBURG, July 22.-Attorneys for
the Amalgamated Association this
morning presented the applications for
release on bail of Hugh O'Donncll and
Hugh Ross, leaders of the Homestead
strikers. The petitions were the same
as filed in the application of Burgess
McLuckie. None of the attorneys for
the prosecution were in the court nor
were the defendants. The court fixed
tomorrow at $50 as the time for the
hearing.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 22.-The de-
parture of Governor Pattison about
noon was the evcnt to-day. Just before
leaving the Governor stated emphati-
cally that no change had been made in
the orders to the troops, and that
none was being contemplated. Ifthere
had been any hope that the Governor
would make a personal investigation
among the strikers during his presence
in Homestead, the expectation was
disappointed. Up to time of taking
the train for Harrisburg he confined
his movement to an official farewell
visit to Gen. Snowden's headquarters
on Shanty Hill. None ofthe local lead
ers of the strike were invited directly
or indirectly to lay their case before the
Governor and for their part they show
ed no disposition to ask his aid in their
difficulties.
Sheriff McCleary, after a ten days
stay stay in Homestead, left on the
same train with Gov. Pattison.
Swiftly on the heels of the Governors
departure, the serving of eviction
notices commenced on Shanty Hill.
AS rule the notices were received in
grim silence.
At the strikers headquarters, the
mems ranks were reported to be as
solid as stonewall; but the line of
strikers waiting for admission to the
room of the relief committee was
stretched oqt to nearly double the
length of any day yet.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July %.
SENATE.

In the morning hour the Senate pass
ed the Joint resolution authorizing the
acceptance of medals from the King OF
Sweden by the Baltimore's crew and
concurred in some House amendments
to unimportant Senate bills.
The resolution offered yesterday by
Mr. PETER instructing the judiciary
committee to inquire into the relations
of employers and employees was taken
up and Mr.. PETER addressed the Senate
in its support.
Dir. PETER argued that there were
but three ways to meet labor troubles.
The first was for the government to
keep its hands off and let employers
and employees settle the matter be-
tween themselves. The second was for
the government to establish and regu-
late rates of wages. And the third was
that the government take possession of
private manufacturing establishments
and conduct them as public institu-
tons.
At the close OF his remarks the reso-
luton was referred to the committee on
education and labor.
The anti-option bill was taken up
and Mr.. White resumed his argument
in opposition to it.
HOUSE.
The House Immediately after meet
ing proceeded with the regular order,
which was the call ofcommittecs. The
time allowed the postoflice committee
having expired without action, on any
measure, the committee on public lands
called up a few bills of little general
interest.
The House then considered the SEN
ate amendments to the general de-
ficiency bill upon which an agreement
has not yet been reached.
The consideration of the bill will con-
sumo the entire day, there being three
hours and forty minutes given to the
debate on the disputed amendments.
This debate together with the votes
that may be taken on the various prop
ositions will probably carry the House
through to the hour OF recess.

GOING FOR WIsNER,

The Wheeling Register in its ac-
count OF the proceedings of the
League of Republican Clubs of W.
Va, recently held at Parkersburg
contains the following:
"This closed the regular business
of the convention for the evening.
There was lack of enthusiasm over
the election of Mr.. Wisner, whoit was
said was not a member Of any club.
The election of Wisner was recon-
sidefe and q. S. Grant Pitzer elect
ed in his place. Wisner is said to
be a mugwump who splits his ticket"
We were not at Parkersburg, and
do not belong to any clubs, except
as citizen member of the great
brotherhood of home protectioDists.
If we were elected to anything, we
have not been apprised of it. The
committee never waited on us. If
we were elected to anything that had
any money in it, we have no doubt
the election was reconsidered before
we had chance to qualify, for fear
that we might qualify. In this their
heads were level. On splitting tick
cts, we ar not yet ready to emf
crate to st. Paul and wear the boots
of any of the editors of the Register
who have gone on before. 1t is re-
ported that Mr.. Huntington report
ed proceedings for both the Intelh-
gencer and Register. If this be true,
the hero of Grafton, the Achilles OF
the wounded heel, with his little
pencil, can beat any socalled mug
wump in splitting proceedings in
two, for political effect, yet heard Of.
The two descrip ions of Langston's
speech, from the same pen, as pub
lished in the Intelligencer and Regis
ter, are perfect marveIs of the splitting
process. Did Mr.. Huntington write
your report, Mr.. Register?
