The) Election at Chattanooga A Flag
Captured from the Conservative by
Radicals at Kingston.
Chattanooga, Tenn., August 2. All the ne
cessary preparations were made by the city
authorities yesterday to preserve the peace. The
olls opened at 8 o'clock, and the colored
ieapcue, organized en masse, formed in column
at the polllne place, till noon, when six hun
dred and eighty-nine votes had been cast, and
nearly all the negroes had voted. Certificates
were furnished by the League to many negroes
from Georgia, who voted the radical ticket. The
negro vote was cast solid for the radicals. The
Metropolitan Police distributed radical tickets
to negroes. The straight radical tickets were
stamped with u broadase. meaning that the axe
is laid at the root of the tree. This was done to
prevent counterfeiting, and lor the benefit ol
such negroes as could not read.
The utmost order and good feeling prevailed
all day and night, and there was no intoxica
tion. The whites who were not radicals held no
conversation with the negroes, but let them
have their own way.
The whole number of votes cast in the city is
925. Brownlow received 820, Eiheridge 96,
.Stokes 822, Fleming (independent) 39. The
whole radical ticket Is elected by an over
whelming majority. Brownlow's majority in
the county is estimated at 1225. Stokes is re
elected to CoDgress In the Third District.
Ktheridge and Maynard spoke at Kingston on
Wednesday. Colonel Byrd, a conservative, had
the flag of his old regiment, the 1st Tennessee
Infantry, on the stand while Etheridge was
speaking. After the speaking was done the
radicals captured the flag tor their stand. The
conservatives formed to charge and retake the
flair, but were prevented by Ether'tdge. No
other disturbance took place. All was quiet at
last accounts, but the flag has not yet been re
turned. VIRGINIA.

TEE LOCKOUT IN PITTSBURG.
Compromise Between the Ironmasters
and Ironworkers What Has Been Lost
by the Btrlke Kffect on the Business
of Pittsburg,
From the FUUburg (Tenn.) Commercial, August
Tbe great lockout, as it is now generally
termed, which has since the 12th of January
last closed, or nearly closed, our rolling mills,
is now regarded by all parties concerned as at
an end. The ironworkers generally appear to
be satisfied with the compromise, and express
their intention of observing it.
The suspension ot labor has been one of the
most extensive that has ever occurred in this
locality, and the effects have been felt by all
classes of society. It was rumored, in De
cember, 1866, that on the 15th of the following
January tbe various iron mills in the city and
vicinity would suspend bnsiness on account of
a difficulty about wages. Hie proprietors of the
rolling mills had notified their puddlersthat tbe
wages they were paying would have to be re
duced, as they could no longer give $9 per ton.
The workingmen iefued to submit to auy re
duction, and a strike, or lockout, as it is now
called, was the result. On Monday, December
10, tbe rolling null of Jones k Lougli
lin, Brownstown, which had been paving
$9 per ton for a week, stopped. Saturday, Jan
uary 12, the Dnquesne Iron Works and the
rolling mill of Zug & Co., in the Fifth Ward,
stopped. Nearly all the mills in tbe vicinity
aUo stopped at this time. The only mills that
continued in operation were the following:
Lyon, Shorb & Co., Monongahela Borough;
Hutchinson, Glass & Co., Soiio Run; Gregs's
mills, Four Mile Run; and the mills ot Ilussey,
Wells & Co., Fifth Ward. These mills con
tlnued to run all winter. On Mondav, April 1,
several ot the mills commenced running a few
furnaces, paying $9 per ton. Affairs remained
In this state, with no immediate prospects of a
settlement, until a caru appeared, April w, from
Messrs. Zug A Co., of the Sable Works, stating
that they would hand over their mill one
year to any responsible party, on the condition
that the mill khould be run to the extent
of its capacity, aud the party should pay over to
them, as their share of tbe profits, the average
diflerence between the prices then demanded in
Pittsburg, and those then paid over in Eastern
Pennsylvania, New York, New England, and
New Jersey.- This proposition was not accepted.
At this time several of the mills were running
partially, and there were not so many men out
ot employment as during the winter. Tne mill
of Jones & Laugblin started April 30, and has
been running ever since. Zug k Co. also started
the first of May. The Duquesne Iron Works
also commenced running. These establish
ments, however, still claimed that they could
not afford to pay the priccB asked, and did not
ron tbe full number ot furnaces.
Ou Saturday morning, June 22, a train of cars
direct from New York arrived at the Dnion
Depot, containing over two hundred iron workers
from Germany. These were put at work in
some ot the mills, and considerable excitcmeut
was the result.
In the early part of last week a committee
from the Iron Masters' Association, and a com
mittee from the Iron Workers' Association, met
and agreed upon a compromise, which was sub-
nnucu to lue lust uienuuueu uuuy uu aui.uiu'vy
evening last, and ratified by tbem. This com
promise allows (he boilers nine dollars ocr ton
until the 17th of the present month. After that
they submit to a reduction ot one aouar per ton.
with an agreement that a f urther reduction shall
take place in case the price of iron decreases.
This arrangement seems to be accepted by all
parties as final, and in a few weeks the mills
win undoubtedly De running to tneir iuu
capacity.
The number or men out or employment juarcn
1 was estimated to be as follows: Puddlers, 700;
helpers, nail laborers, and others dependent on
the work of the puddlers for support. 3000;
miners on the south side of tbe Monongahela,
on the Youehiogheny and the Pennsylvania
Railroad, 1000; Iron moulders, 360; laborers de
pendent on tneir work: for employment, louu;
glass-blowers, 300; laborers dependent on them
lor work. 700. This makes the total number of
men out of employment at that time 7000. An ave
rage ot f i per day for these men would be a low
estimate at tbe prices paid at the time of the
strike; at this rate, from January 1 to March
31, the wages paid would have been about
$1,302,000. At this time some of the mills start
ing furnished part of the men with work.
Allowing 6000 to have been out of employment
since that time, and to remain so until the new
arrangement goes into effect, and their wages at
the same rate would amount to $1,680,000. Tbe
total amount of money, had the mills not stood
idle, that would have been paid out, therefore,
is $2,982,000. This estimate, perhaps, will not
cover half tbe loss which our city has sustained
by the lockout.
Callfornlane at the Siege of Q,ueretaro.
From the San Franeiteo AUa Oaliornian.
The readers of the AUa will remember the
departure of Colonel George M. Green with a
arty ot sixty Americans, veterans or the
Inited States volunteer rrvlce. from San Fran
cisco for Mexico, upwards of a year since, and
me suDsequeni notice or tneir receiving posi
tions in the Liberal Array of Mexico, after a ter
rible march in midsummer through Arizona
and Chihuahua a march in which two of their
number gave out and died by the way. The
following letter from Colonel Green to his
brother in this city shows that the old Califor
nians were in the thickest of the fight, and
trtves some interesting particulars of the fall of
Maximilian:
QuEBXTAKO,Mayls-4P. M.-Dear Brother-It is
with pleasure that I write to lot you know that the
lone war Is over. This morning at o'clock we at
tacked the place In force, and at 8 o'clock we had oc
cupied the princliwl positions. It was quite cheering
to us alter hay lug been tin the outside lor seventy
dayi. We bad hardly taken otT our clothes duriug
the whole siege, aa Maximilian's force was nearly
equal to our own. and we were compelled to he on the
waich day and night; but we have had our reward.
My small command, with sixty American oliicers,
which composes the Legion of Honor, captured the
Carlotla Keglraeut of Cavalry. SCO Htrong, with 8f pin
cers, among them several cblets. Our victory Is com
plete. We have taken Maximilian, with Miratnon
and all the prlnolpal (leneruU ol the empire, all the
artillery and transportation In fact, making a clean
sweep. We have lO.OuO prisoners. "
Tbe first thing our noble General Corona did on
entering the city was to Issue rations of beef and
bread to the starving Inhabitants. I have just seen
Maximilian, who takes H quite coolly, but says he is
mperor no more. We have with film captured a
great many foreigners, who, I rear, will all ne shot.
Max expects to be Bent out of the country, and I hone
to have the houorol escorting him to Santa Crus.
Qutretaro Is a beautiful place, with 4u.uuu inhabi
tants. It was here that the treaty of Uuadaloupe
Hidalgo was signed, I shall leave to-morrow, with
my command, for tbe City ot Mexico: forty-five
leagues beuce, where we shad remain until tne Presi
dent arrives. We hope our stay will be short, as we
are row anxious to get back to tbe shores of the
Macule onoe more. w

SECOND EDITION
IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON.
General Grant Opposes the
Removal of Generals
Sheridan and Pope.
(SPKCUL DESPATCH TO THE EVENING TELEGRAPH,
Washington, August 3. General Grant has
been in constant consultation with the
President for several hours, both yester
day and to-day. It is said that a grave
controversy has been indulged in. Gene
ral Grant is reported to have expressed
he opinion that the President would overstep
his power In removing General Sheridan
Tinder the recent act of Congress. This opinion
is based upon a thorongh examination of the
whole subject made by Major General
John A. Rawlings, Chief of Staff, and an able
constitutional lawyer, and Chief Justice Chose.
Under the influence of General Grant's reason
ing on this point, the Presidcnt.delays his order
removing Sheridan and appointing Hancock to
succeed him.
The affair will probably remain in statu
gtouLtil the return of Attorney-General Slan
bery. These reports create much talk here, aud
fears of a collision between Grant and the Pre
sident are visible.
Scarcity of Naval Seamen. 1
The Navy Department is much embarrassed
by the dilliculty of obtaining the proper propor
tion of trained seamen required lor vessels In
tended for the relief of those now serving on
foreicn stations. The Minnesota, a noble fri
gate, has been detained at New York nearly a
month on this account, blie has her lull com
plement of marines, firemen, and landsmen; but
is, or was, deficient in seamen, the frigates
Franklin and Guerriere having exhausted the
supply of tbe receiving ships.
Upton vs. Casey, et al.
It is reported here, among military men, that
General Casey, author or compiler of the "In
fantry Tactics" now emploved in the army and
marine corp, and his publisher are exerting all
their influence to prevent the adoption of the
new tactics of Brevet Major-General Upton,
which have been recommended by two Army
Boards as superior to those bearing Casey's
name. The President of the last Board, which
met at West Point on the 9th ultimo, was Gene
ral Grant, who is said to favor the change.
TRIAL OF JOHN 27. S URRA TT.
Washington, August 8. The trial of John H. Bur
rati was resumed this morning In tbe Criminal Court,
Judge Fisher predicting.
Mr. Plerrepont addressed the lurv on behalf of the
proBecntlon, and said be had not yei bad an opportu
nity to address the Jury, but his time bad now come.
"Yea, all that a man bath will he give tor bis life.''
mis is as true lo-oay as it wus id tue aays or Job, and
to secure Hie he will give op bis liberty, resort to any
measures, give up home auu friends, desert lather and
mother, sister and brolber, and be will even commit
perjury, aud "Jump the 1 He that Is to come, to save the
life that now is." Just so far as thee luuiel feels In
terested In a rase. Just so far will they be.ome imbued
With the feelings or their client.
Mr. Plerrepont then referred to tbe fact that, while
tbe otber counsel k new t tie Jurors, be was a compara
tive stranger, but be did nut feel: altogether like a
stranger, and If he met tbem in his own city, or else
where, be could meet them as irlends. He had come
Into this case at no little personal sac rid e, lor wlieu
the case commenced he had Just taken bis seat In the
New York Constitutional Convention, which was now
In session.
He explained how became Into tbe case noon tbe
request ot the Altoruey-Ueneral and the decretory of
Btate, and be averred that no otber member of the
Cabinet knew of his retainer until be came on here
and entered Into tbe case. Wben Mr. Lincoln was
assassinated he (M r. Plerrepont) was sent bere by a
committee of New York citizens to attend bis
funeral, land wben standing in the East Room,
and bis tears were tailing freely, be would have
considered blmaell derelict to duty If be
had not at that time resented any lnstilt coming from

a scene as at tbe fuueral, and he would Indulge now
In no petty quarrels. In pursuing this argument, be
would not cast any vituperation or abuse upon tbe
firtsoner. Be did not know John U. Burratt except
bat we were to try blm as one of the assassins ot
tbe President.
In commenting on tbe evidence be would make no
Individual assertion, but bis busluess was to convince
tbe Jury tbat the accused was guilty. If he did that he
expected a verdict of guilty. If be did not so con
vince ihem, be neither wanted nor expected a verdlot.
He was here for tbe purpose of showing thatSurratt

FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
OrncB or thb Kveniks TrxiteBArH,
Saturday, August 3, ltu7,
The Board of Brokers held but one session
to-day, and the business is consequently very
lipht. The inclement weather was another addi
tion to tbe many causes at work to keep the
maiket In its present depressed condition. Gov
ernment stocks Bhow some light improvement.
The 8mes of 1881 were quoted at HOi bid, and
uug ttsgen; coupon r lve-tweutios at 112 Did, and
112 asked: Ten-forties at 102J1024; and Seven
thirties at 1074108.
In State Loans there were no transactions re
ported. For the second series 1024 was bid; and
for the third, 102$. The coupon 6s were not
offered under 08.
City loans firmly maintained former figures,
and holders of new loan were asking 1004.
The share list was again very weak. Pennsyl
vania Railroad declined and Reading i Cam
den and Am boy gold at last figures; 122 wai bid
for Philadelphia and Trenton; 30 lor Little
Schuylkill; 64 for Norristown; 671 Ut Minehill;
35 for North Pennsylvania; 68 for Lehigh Valley;
29 for Elmlra; 28 for Catawusa preferred; 64
for Philadelphia, Wilmlugton, and Baltimore;
and 44J for Northern Central.
The Passenger Railroad stocks were very dull.
We quote 76 bid for Hecond and Third; 62 lor
Tenth and Eleventh; 19 for Thirteenth and Fif
teenth; 29 for Spruce and Pine; 45.) for West
Philadelphia; 13 for Hestonville; 28 for Rllge
Avenue; and 37 for Union.
Canal stocks were excessively dull, with 45 J bid
forLehlch; 30 lor Chesapeake and Delaware;
and m for Srsquehanoa.
In Bank and other stocks there were no changes
to note.
Gold was a little firmer this morning, 140,
being the average rate.
The probability of capital finding its wav
from Europe to this country tn consequence of
tbe glut ot gold there, continues to be a subject
of discussion. It is an interesting fact that the
present is only the third time on which the Bank
of England rate of discount has been reduced to
two percent., the former occatious having been
in 1852 and 1862. In 1852 it remained at that
point for eight months and a half. The coin
and bullion in both departments amounted on
the 17th of July to 22,086,726 a larger sum
than It ever held before, although the Bank of
Fiance has the equivalent of more than thirty
millions sterling. The extreme rate ot ten per
cent, bas only been reached twice tn the his
tory of tbe Bank, namely, in November, 1857,
and again last year during the financial crisis.
The New York Tribune this morning says:
"The supply ot money on call continues largely la
excees of the wants of the street. Leading houses get
a good deal of money at 4i5 per cent., but at the
same time 6 Is freely paid by houses not Inclined to
change their loans dally. For commercial paper tbe
rales are unchanged, Phnrt papor only pajses at
cheap rates, and doubtful credit aud long engage
ments are made 10 pay bigb Interest."
The total national debt was as follows at tbe
dates mentioned, excluoive of the amount in the
Treasury:

of June, 1864, and the end of May, 18U7, of
$"47,003,830. J'
