WKDMKSDA Y, JULY 25.
riilladelphia. The rioters havo been put
down In cery part of the country, but the
strike Is still going ou. No violence is re
ported from any quarter to-night, but nouo
of tho railroads nre moving freight trains,
and some of them nro doing nothing in tho
way of paiRcnger tralllc. Tho feeling Is such
here, and on tho Pennsylvania lino particu
larly, that nny attempt to get freight trains
lu operation would lead to icnewed out
breaks. Without much doubt it la posslblo
to blurt trains from this city, owing to tho
admirable organization which Mayor Stolc
lcy has effected, but Colonel Scott will not
start them, becauso It is uncertain what
would becoino of them after tlieylintl passed
beyond the protection of tho authorities here,
liesldes thero is not much reason why there
should be any hurry, as thero is little or no
freight offered by shippers, who seem to
have suspended all business. If tho strikers
were willing to go to work now at any price,
it Is doubtful If thero would be anything for
them to do. People havo lost confidence,
and tho demoralization is worse than In the
months Immediately succeeding tho panic of
1873. Tho appearance of the regulars at
Heading has quieted nflairs there, but no
trains have been run on tho Heading road
to day. Governor Hartranft arrived hero
this evening and has been in consultation
with tho Mayor and Colonel Scotland every
thing will bo done to restore tralllc on tho
roads. Tho greatest caution will bo observed
to prevent outbreaks. The west is in a state
of agitation, and many of the roads havo
suspended operations entirely, in order to
savo trouble and prevent loss of property.
EXCITEMENT IN SCUANTON.
The excitement here is intense, all trains
on Danville, Lackawanna and Western rail

This bill was violently opposed by corpor
ation lobbyists and legislators, but found
friends enough to secure its passage.
It was right and just, and so loug as the

LAUOUIXUMEN AS CONSPIRATORS.
Some of our contemporarle aro under the
delusion that the old conspiracy laws as to
labor unions aro still in force; men who
combine for the purpose of securing better
wages, or for a strike, are indictable. That
this was the law In this and other States wo
admit. It was iuherited from Kngland ; but
was repealed there some years ago, and was
also repealed in New York in 1870. Under
it a number of men were convicted lu
Schuylkill county In 1870, and under it a
number of men from Conymjliam and Con
traliawe -c Indicted lu 18''. I5ut tho writer
of this article, seeing tho injustico of the
law, resolved to attempt its repeal. Ho be
lleveil that if capital could combine, ns it
did without'protest, lobar sliou il havo iho
same privilege. Hence, in 1872, lie pre
xentrd to the l,egislaturo tho following bill :
"Be it enacted, itc, That from and after
the passage of this act it shall bo lawful for
nny laborer or laborers, workingman
workingnen, journeyman or journeymen,
acting either as individuals or as the mem.
ber of any club, society or association, to re.
fuse to work or labor for auy person or per
sons, whenever, in his or their opinion, the
wages paid are insufficient, or tho treatment
of such laborer or laborers, workingman or
workiugmen, journeyman or journeymen, by
his, her or their employer is brutal or offen
sive, or the continued labor by such laburer
or laborers, workingman or workingmen,
journeyman or journeymen, would be con
trary to the rules, regulations or by-laws of
n y club, society or organization to which
Htatl'llcians or the New York World, es
timating tho value of property destroyed by
the rioters at Pittsburg nt $ l.fiOO.OOO, find
that this amount Is moro than ono-forticth
of tho assessed valuation of Pittsburg, l's
timatlng tho population of tho city nt 140,
000 persons, the city will bo irqulrwl to pay
$32 15 for every man, woman and child to
compenealo tho injuied pal lies. Tho loss is
equivalent to n lax of 2 01 on uvery $1U0
of taxable property, which is a greater tax
than Is assessed annually in this city. It
must be remembered, loo, that the occupants
of the houses pay tho taxes, whether they
own or rent them. Tho occupant who is al
so the owner pays the whole of lite tax di
rectly as such, and the tenant shares tho lax
with Iho landlord in tho shape of in
creased rent.
Tho question has frequently been asked
whether damages cau bo recovered for loss
es resulting from mobs. On this subject
the ledger says :
Tho most serious riots beforo the present
tlmo were the draft riots lu New York in
18G3. Theso riots cost the treasury of New
York, in money paid for private property
destroyed.tho large amount of $1,748,408 39.
That similar payments must bo made in tho
case of the present riots is expressly pro
vided for by the laws of Pennsylvania. On
May 31, 1811, tho Pennsylvania Legislature
passed an act, which will be found in Hright
ly's Purdon's Digest, page 10S3, which pro
vides that "in all cases where any dwelling
house or other building or property, real or
personal, has been or shall bo destroyed,
within tho county of Philadelphia, in com
sequence of any mob or riot, it shall be law
ful for tho person or persons interested in
and owning such property to bring suit
against tho said county where such properly
was situated, being for the recovery ol such
damages as he or they sustained by the de
struction thereof, and tho amount which
shall bo recovered in said actiou shall be
paid out of tho county treasury on warrants
aratvn by the Commissioners thereof, who
are hereby required to draw the samo as

In this State, yesterday, mailers rontiuued

AT l'lTTanuna.
The Committee on public safety hold
meetings now on the street. At 10 o'clock
this morning Dr. K. Donnelly submitted a
resolution to the stockholders of the Venn-
Hallroad havo resolved to disconlinuo the
strike. A strike on tho Michigan Central
has begun.
Tho employes of the Wabash Hnilroad, m
Ohio, hao decided to resume work. Travel
ou the Lake horc Itailroad is expected to
be resumed to-day.
Thero was a rcncwnl of tho rioting in San
Krancisco ou Wednesday night. A meeting
of citizens, in tho interests of order, was in
terrupted by the news that n large lumber
yard near tho Pacific Mail Steamship dock
had been fired, aud that u mob was also en
gaged in wrecking Chineso houses. Tho
fire wasextlnguished, after destroying n large
quantity of lumber. During its continuanto
the mob attempted to set lire to the fence
around tho dock, but were routed after a
fierce fight, in which one citizen was tilled
and a number wero wounded, one fatally.
It is reported that several of the rioters were
killed aud wounded. Many of the mob wero
captured, und manacled to a long chain
stretched across tho dock, While the lum
ber firo was raging, another firo was started
in a different locality, but it was soon ex
tinguished. A youuy man was run over and
killed by a hoso cart on the way to this fire.
Some small mobs that subsequently gathered
at street corners were dispersed by parties of
citizens, and quiet was restored soon after
midnight. It was noticed that every few
working men were seen in the mob, it being
composed mainly of the class known as
"hoodlums." Tho disturbance originated
from an anti-Coolie meeting held early in
tho evening, at which incendiary speeches
were uttered, and which was unaccountably
overlooked by the vigilants and the police.
During the evening, men were detected dis
tributing printed slips threatening venge
ance on all property owners, corporations
and individuals employing Chinese.
Harrisburg, Pa. Tho city has been very
quiet to-day. The Philadelphia City Troop

Caldwell and number about 600 men, priuci

SATURDAY, JULY 28th.
The telegrams show an improvement in
the situation almost everywhere. Tho trou
ble on the Pennsylvania Itailroad and its
branches in this State has ended at all points
except Erie, and at tho latter placo freights
are expected to be moved to-day. All the
east-bound freight trains from Pittsburg, in
cluding 200 car loads of cattle, will to-day
reach Philadelphia and New York. Matters
in the Lehigh Valley and at Scranton are
unchanged, but there is a prospect of an ear
ly resumption of traffic. It is stated that
neither on the Lehigh Valley Hailroad nor
tho branches of the New Jersey Central will
tho strikers bo ro-employed, as thero aro
more applications for their positions than
aro need to fill them.
Freight trains passed over the Baltimoro
and Ohio Hailroad from Baltimore to Mar
tinsburg, both ways, and, it is oxpected, tho
whole lino will be opened for traffic.
No change is reported on the Central and
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Hail
roads in New Jersey ; but the embargo on
those roads may possibly be removed, at
least partially, by Monday. Thero has been
no disturdance nt Phillipsburg, owing to tho
measures adopted by Gen. Sewell.
Chicago nnd St. Louis have quieted down
and the strikers of all trades in those cities
are gradually returning to their employ
ments, though trouble is still experienced
in some of the roads. The strikers are mas"
tors of tho situation at Fort Wayne, in Indi
ana, but matters havo much improved at In
dianapolis and Tcrre Haute.
The strikers on the St. Louis nnd South
eastern Hailroad were to meet in Nashvillo
yesterday, aud draft a petition to Judge
Trigg, of tho United States Court, stating
their grievances, and asking that their wages

the strikers were out in force, but offered no
resistance to tho passage of trains. The first
