The Tbi.bgraph Operators on a Strike. The
operators of the Western Union Telegraph Company
in this city have struck in support of their brethren in
Han Francisco. Their hearts beat la unison with
their fellows of the PaclUo slope, and they argae
that a blow inflicted on one is inflicted on all.
At a meeting held last evening, the following reso
lutions were adopted: 1
tumlvni. That a committee of three be appointed to
issue an addraaa to our brother operators, mating tho
bjeet of onr action, and asking their support in not ac
cepting petitions thnn raeated by us.
Metoioetl, That, we, th Wentorn Union operators, will
not resume work until all operators engaged iu this strike
re fully reinstated.
Despatches were received ot the meeting from
Albany, Erie, Cleveland, New York, Boston, Pough
teepsie, Louisville, Baltimore, and Washington,
saying that the operators there bad struck (at 4
V. M.) almost to a man.
It was then resolved to present for pnbllcatlon to
the operators in and around the vicinity of Phila
delphia the following address:
To all Telegraph Operators : We, tho Western Union
AMrKinn nt Phibufulohia. havo resolved in sustain our
brother craftsmen in tlio West and elnewhere who have
unanimously resolved to resist the nnjuat attempt of the
Western Union Company to reduce their salaries, in order
to maintain a rcdnotion of tariif, for the purpose of drir-
iag from the field honorable competition. Wo contend
that if the company desire to kill competing linss they
stionld do so at their own pecuniary sauritica, and not tax
their employee for that purpose. As we believe our breth
ren in the surrounding country sypatlnze witu us in our
eflorte to promote ine fi.utororls of the profession, we
hereliy earnes4y call upon taiim to resist all overtures of
th pnmnuv whipn would conflict with our inteaests. and
accent no positions tm Philadelphia or olsewhore, made
vacant by our withdrawal, until tlio dirierenccs between
the company and ourselves are amicably adjnbtod.
This morning affairs remain In about the same
condition.

Special Despatch to The. Kvtnlng Telegraph.
IlARiusnuno, Jan. 5. Tho Irwin party are
jubilant this uiorulng in the belief that their
candidate for State Tre;isurer will be elected.'
They laio this hope on the fact that at a
caucus of tho Mackeyitcs held this ruorn
injr, only twenty-two Republicans were present.
This was a fearful fnllln-ofi from tho expec
tations of tho Cameron party. An extraordi
nary fact is rumored, and ono which requires
explanation. It seems that about the beginning
of last Decuubcr tho Slato Lunatic Asylum pre
sented its legal claim to the State Treasurer for
its npprf priation of twenty-five thousand dol
lars which was then duo. The State Treasurer,
or some one In his department, Instead of pay
ing the entire amount on that day, actually
requested that no more than $15,000 should be
then puid, and that the Treasurer should havo
additional time to pay the remaining; (10,000.
This was accorded. But tho extraordinary
part of the affair Is that nc that very date there
was or should have been an unexpended balance
iu the Male Treasury of one and a half millions
of dollars in cash. This rumor, which is well
authenticated, follows close npon the recom
mendation of Governor Geary to reform the
system of electing the State Trensurer. The in
cident has deep meaning which citizens can read
for thcnieelver.

oath is to be exacted. It is the general opinion
among the best informed regarding the Virginia

adopted, but that eight of fourteen members of
the committee will vote to report a bill simply
declaring tho State entitled to admission with
out applying further tests. These eight mem
bers are Messrs. Farns worth, Paine, Lawrcuco,
Upson, Morgan, Beck, Woodward, aud Wood.

The following is the reply of the operators to the
letter of M.T. Palmer published in the morning
papers:
Nkw York, Jan. 4, 1970. O. n. Palmer, Secrc
tary Sir: We have received your communication
in ailBWCr lO Olir prrsomeil w un turn iuihuiu, iu
which you assure us, on the authority of Kuperln
teudem Mumford, tliat the grievances do not exist,
that no salaries nave tieen rcuaceu ai csan r rancisco,
nor auy members discharged for refusing to submit
to reduction of salary, etc. In reply wo would state
that oillccrs and members of our organization at
various points-, believing tnat me grievances com
plained of by the San t rancisco members do exist,
have aln ady suspended work. Oillccrs and members
at other points arc now waiting for this commit
tee to report and decide what action they shall take.
We therefore propose that you instruct Superinten
dent Multifold tu or assurd us that you will, rein
itiate those members at San Kraucisco. if any, who
hsve been discharged for refusing to submit to a
reduction of salary, aud that members who have
already stopped work at various points be reinstated
in thtir former positions at. the same salaries as
heretofore, and that their salaries for the time lost
while on nlrike be deducted from this month's pay.
ir this proposiiloii is agreed to, then this com
mittee assure you that the various points will resume
tticlr duties at once, and mumbers at other poiuts
who are waiting to hear results of our negotiations.
Yon will li promptly noiiiied that tho dluiculty has

The following card Is the appeal adopted last
evening for publication and distribution among the
members of the organization throughout the country:
TO ALL MKMBEUS OF 'lll Tlil-EOBAPHKRH' rKO-
TKCi'Mis I.KAotiR. The hour has arrived when
prompt and united action is to decide the future
welfare of the fraternity. Tne reduction of salaries
which has been attempted at 8un Francisco is, wa
believe, but the foreiuuner of similar action to be
lukcu throughout tho country, should it be found
that we were willing to submit. The organlzrtlua
which lias Inaugurated this resistance extouds from
theAtlantlo to tho Pacific. Irom the great Lakes
to tho Gul'. We have used every honorable effort
wilh the Kxecutive Committee to end the strife
by reinstating our brethren at their old
sularics. The authorities, by refusing to
do so, have expressed their determination to
crush us. The Issue row Is the life ot the League,
as well as to sustain our Sail Francisco brethren.
We accept the challenge cheerfui:y, bulleving that
success will follow this lirst ell'ort to maintain our
rights. We control all the Important telegraphic
points in the United mates. We only ask of our
brother operators outHide of the organization not to
come in and fill our places. It will merely prolong
the contest without changing aha result. With re
newed confidence in the Justice of our cause, the ope
rators (of the North, Kast, and Houth to-day Join
hands with their brethren of the West, determined
that we will be men, even while laboring for a
gigantic corporation. T. W. Popb, Chief Operator.
