terrain motion to suspend the rules,

lin.

from Maine and he moved to adjourn"

II thought the gentleman from
Maine had been moved to move an ad.
jousnment," continued Mr.. McMillin,
who then appealed to Mr.. Dingley not
to insist upon his motion. But Mr..
Dingley declined to withdraw it and
the vote on his motion was taken by

AT A negro meeting in Washington
last night one of the speakers threaten
ed the administration with the loss OF
the support of his entire race, because
though at first disposed to appoint a
negro postmaster at Augusta, Georgia, it
tipally, at the urgent request of the few
white republicans there, refused to do
SO, to the great relief of the people OF that
city. Though there are many negroes
in Southern cities. as little mail goes to
them as to their race in those of the
North, but though the white people OF
the North profess to believe in the So
cial equality of the races, no attempts
are ever made to foist negro postmast-
ers upon them; the South is the only
xection that enjoys such governmental
beneficencies.

The Miners Strike

PIrTsBURa, Pa, July 7.-Reports re-
ceived from the river mines in the Pitts
burg district indicate that there ia al
most total suspension of work in the
pits o.day and that the strike so far as
the river miners are concerned is gen.
eral. A dispatch from Monongahela
city says there are about so men at
work and 1000 idle in the Monopga-
hela valley. Such complete suspen-
sion of mining has not been witnessed
in the valley before for many years.
According to the miners officials the
suspension in the railroad mines is al
most as complete as it is along the
rivers. All the large mines except
those of the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal Co., they claim are idle to-day.
1t is positively asserted that notwith-
standing Dolan's statements that all
the men are out at the mines of the
Pittsburg and Chicago Company, %
cars, or 675 tons, were loaded at the
mines yesterday, and 25 cars to-day.
II this is true, the company must have
nearly full complement of men.

Elk GOVERNOR ALTGELD, of Illinois,
in a speech in New York last Monday
said
"The universal corruption that is to-
day destroying our country comes from
the concentration of capital, aud the
alarming aspect is that it is practiced by
men who talk patriotism and whosta
high in the estimation OF the public.
Cut of the hand that offers bride and
you will end corruption"
Now, whether the Ex-Governor be a
communist" or an anarchist" both
of which his enemies call him. there is
no doubt of the fact that his words
above quoted are those Of truth and
soberness. But as, owing to the votes
of the many who desire to be bribed,
the hands of the few bribers will not
be cut of, corruption, like grece, will
continue to increase day by day, until
the man on horseback, now rapidly ap.
preaching, shall make his appearance,
and heads be cut off, instead OF hands,
Where every man has the right to sell
his vote, it is absurd folly to suppose
that.bribery can be suppressed and COR
ruption be abolished.

NOT ONLY are the poor people of the
country to have the cost of their living
increased by additional taxes on every
thing they have to bug, but the Presi-
dent, it is understood, is to put them to
extra expense by appointing high
salaried commission to make another
examination OF the plans aud specifca-
lions of that old attempted swindle, the
Nicaraguan canal scheme. If the con-
trolers OF the affairs of this government
were not bent on effecting it's destruc-
ton, they would try to decrease, rather
than to increase, its expenditures, and
thereby to relieve the tax ridden peo-
pie of some of their burdens.

SENSATIONAL AFFAIR.

A very sensational affair, which had
its beginning on a street car Monday
evening, occurred in Lynchburg yester.
day. B. B. Marlin, a young man, board
ed summer car between and 8 o'clock
Monday evening with the intention OF
going out to the Rivermont Park. His
right arm was deformed and useless
and in his left hand he carried cane.
The car being crowded he was forced
to stand on the step, and to prevent
himself from falling leaned in between
the seats. In so doing he rested against
the knees of Mrs. Charles Mccarthy,
who, not knowing that Marlin was
crippled, became indignant at what she
considered familiarity and placed
hat pin on her knee so that it struck in
his back. Some words ensued, which
so incensed the woman that she struck
Marlin three times in the face with her
clenched fist. Police Sergeant Zay in
terfered, but made no arrests.
Yesterday morning when Marlin was
returning to his Office after having been
out on the street, be was confronted by
Mrs. McCarthy's husband, who de
manded an explanation. What Marlin
said was not satisfactory, and the en-
ragged husband struck him on the head
with a stick, on the end of which was
heavy piece of lead. After three blows,
which Marlin warded off from his head
with his arm, the lead few from the
stick. Marlin ran into the house and
was followed by MCCARTHY, who con-
tinued to rain blows about his head and
shoulders. After Mccarthy left, Mar
lin swore out warrant for his arrest.
Mccarthy gave bail for his appearance
in the Police Court this N orning.
