KDKiI vJsktks Halt., Pa., Aug. 2, 1877 It vraa not the hand* who struck for better wages that tamed and plunder ed at Pittsburg; •*! raised riots at ulnar point*—it WM the roughs and row dies, who do not Work when it Is offered Ihrnu, but depend upon theft to make thoir Way through. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people are now BttTsring on account of last week's out rages, and no ono has Won IwniefitteJ. except a few hundred thieve* ' ho plun dered tho freight trxius cfother people 1 * goods. The real labor. I'dtd not have a hand In tha* work, ueither did the strikiug railroaders —it was the law.ess roughs and rowdies, against whom no community is secure. Pittsburg wiU long rwncmbwr the day when it permitte 1 a mob to rule and tack tho city. 11 will pay dearly for its folly. 112.61 ou the 100 of it* assessed valuation, for a city ttftt already was cursed with heavy taxation, will bo a lesson that otliertfomruuuitics may profit by. At Uarrisburg tho mob also hohl away for a short time during last week's terri ble erboe. Tho ratriotspeaking of the mob says: In tho crowd, sometimes amonntiog to six or seven hundred persons, that aur rotmded the Pennsylvania railroad de pot on Saturday night and Sunday, it is estimated bv the police that not one in ten was "a railroad employee. The noisiest in tho crowd were idle vaga bonds and tramps who have no interest in the strike and who could not be per suaded to work at any wages if they had the opportunity. Theee are the bird* of prev who flock together at anv disturb ance in the hope of riot and pillage. One man in the crowd at the depot on B*t uruav was heard shouting "bread or blood." and he was recognised by the police a* an idle rascal who begs hi* bread and who would not shed a drop of hi* own blood in any cause. The few railroad men who were at the depot took matters quietly and soberly, and hut for the outside gathering of the idle, curious, and vicious who were attracted lv the expectation of a disturbance, af fair* would have worn their usual ap pearance. Stones were thrown at one of the trains containing soldier* on the wav to Pittsburgh, and there is reason to believe that this act of cowardly violence was not committed by railroad men. It is stated too that the person who rom £ riled tho engineer and firemen to aban mi the freight train at the stock yards yesterday were not employee* of the railroad company bat belonged to the onlsidc mob who were doing their ut most to provoke a conflict, if railroad men will reflect on the character of their allies they will be deterred front many a strike. It has been observed that most of the killed and wounded in the Baltimore riot on Friday were not participants hot "innocent spectator*." On such occa sions there sre no innocent spectator*. Those who assist by their presence are rioters and there is no means of separa ting them from the active participants, In case of conflict between tho law breakers and the public thev only oin ba-ros* the efforts to establish the peace, and if they are injured they deserve none of the "sympathy that is so lavishly bestowed on them. All who ire preet at in a riot unlcs for the legitimate pur pose ot sappresung it are rioters, a his is the maxim of the common law and it is at the same time the dictate of com mon sense. The presence of the curious who s.e attrftad Dy the desire of rec inc what is going ou is what frequently makes mobs. From which wc deduce tho general reflection that *h* be*t way to prevent a mob is to keep away from it. An order was issued from the adju tant general s office disb&cing oompany I, Sixteenth regiment, for insubordina tion, cowardice and mutinous conduct in furnishing ammunition to the rioters at Reading on the 24th inst. There is plenty of cliant-e for conrt martialing of militiamen for shamefully surrendering their arms to the mob dur ing the strike last week. The democrats of Ohio, last week, nominated R. M. Bishop, of Hamilton county, for Governor, and Jabes W. Fitch, of Cuyahago for lieutenant gov ernor, Mr. Bishop is a good man, and he will be elected without doubt The democrat, it is admitted, will sweep Ohio this fall. The proclamation of GOT. Robinson of New York admirably expresses the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, pertaining to strikes of every character: "The law recognizes and protects therright of all men to refuse to work except upon terms satisfactory to themselves; but it does not permit them to prevent other men from working who desire to do so. Unless the State is to be given op to anarchy, and its Courts and laws are to be defied with impunity, Its whole power must be exerted to sup press violence, maintain order and pro tect its citizens In their right to work and the business of the country from lawless interruption within our bodies. It is no longer a question of wages, but oi the supremacy of the law, which pro tects alike the lives, the liberty, the pro perty and the rights of all classes of citi zens to the maintenance of that supre macy.'' The prices of meat and other provis ions are advancing in many cities, on account of the stoppage of freight trains by the strikers. Thus the poor are made to feel the effects of mob-rule, at a time when they are out of money and out of work. The poor classes will feel the ef fects of last week's bad work more than any other class. High price for provis ions, and high taxes to pay for millions of damage done, will grind severely. Let a lesson be yearned. Law and order, and protection of property are our beat friends. Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and other important states will be swept by the democrats this fall. Tho republi cans admit it, and many of them wish to aee it, in order to show their disgust for the fraudulent administration which they put in power. In Ohio the democrats have made a most excellent nomination of Mr. R. M. Bishop for governor, who is popular throughout the state with all parties and not identified with any faction. He is 0110 of tho most respectable mer hants of Cincinnati, noted for his honesty and integrity. President Scott announced on S&tur- j day thr.t the Pennsylvania Railroad and its branches arc open for freights as well as passengers from Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York to points as far as Altoona, on their main line, to Kane on the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, to Buffalo via the Emporium route, and to Eiinira and Canandaigua on the Northern Central Railroad. This territory comprises the Clearfield and Broad-top bituminous coat region and the anthracite region tributary to the Northern Central road. They expect to have their main line open to Pittsburg, and the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, to Erie to-unorrow, St 3 their lines west of Pittsburg on 30,' Their men arc inpidiy recog niting tho situation and the fait that the interest* of the company and their own are identical. The Pennsylvania Railroad have started the stock twins from Pittsburg eastward and have now their ontire lino ojen for freight. They have directed thoir agouti? at New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore and all seaboard points to receive freight for all point* west and south. In Now Jersey the strikes have cort thestat* 840,000 for militia, equipment, rations, Ac., bcridoa the pay of the men. It is reported that the Ist National Rank of l*>ck Haven has |Aulod, which caused meat excitement in that city. The riots in tho middle and western state* lwve sjcnt their fury. The strikes are about ended, and are a fail ure. Hand* are going to work st lira old wages, and passenger and fieight trains arc again running on all tho prin cipal rondi. lu another part of the Re* porter will be found some of the princi pal oecurrencfw since our last issue. Or der is now ucarly restored at most points. Gen. Blair inform* us that it it not cot rect. a* was reported, that ha surrender ed his aword to the striker* at Altoons, as ho was not at Altoonant all, and his sword is at'honsa ruatod in tts scabbard. That's where his fatal dadger is, and he won't give it up either. PJTTSM'KG I'J V$ THE DAMAGE. By a law of Pennsylvania originally framed to apply to the county of Phila delphia, ami subsequently extended to tho county of Allegheny (Burden's Brightley, pp. 74.V746), it is provided that "in all cases where any dwelling "house or other building or other pro "perty, real or personal, has been or "shall be destroyed in consequence of "any mob or riot within the county of "Philadelphia, it shall be lawful for tie "person or persons interested in and "owning such property to bring suit "against the said couuty where Bueh "property was situated, being for the re* "covery of such damages as he or they "sustained by the destruction thereof, "and the amount which shall be recov ered in said action shall bo paid out of "the county treasury on warrants drawn "by the Comptroller thereof, who is "hereby required to draw the same as "soon as said damages aro finally fixed "and ascertained." The jury (Rr., 116- 121) may give the full value of the pro perty a! the time of its destruction, with interest to the time of their ver dict. How heavy this will fall upon the citixena of Pittsburg tho following from the World will tell: The people of Pittsburg, there/on, wbo stood by and allowed whole trains of freight-cars to be broken open and plundered of property belonging to their follow-countrymen all over the country may expect to be compelled to make good those losses of private citizens as well as those of the railway corporation whoee buildings and whose stock they suffered to be destroyed. It Is probably a moderate estimate to put the total of all there losses at *4,500,000. Theawcw ed valuation of Pittabnrg is f1.2,000,000, and it contains a population of 140,000 persons, many of whom, of course, have been thrown out of employment or sub jected to losses* and inconvenience by these scandalous events. The city there fore will have to submit to a levy ou ita valuation roli of 82.61 in *IOO of taxable property, o rather more than one-for tieth of the total amount. Tbia is equiva lent to a fine of 832.15 laid upon every man, woman and child in the city to compensate tho injured parties, or to an annual impost of *2.25 per capita to meet the interest at 7 per cent. ofbondsisßued to clear the indebtedness. It must be obvious to the meanest capacity that it would have been much cheaper even as a simple question of immediate outlay to preserve order and enforce the laws. Now that the mischief has been done, however, it would be cheaper for Pitts burg to "execute herself," at once, raise the money, and do justico without a lawsuit, than to incur the suspicion of being unwilling to make it safe lor American citizens to expose their pro perty within her limits. And it will be well for the tax-payers of other States to take warning in timo and save themse.- ves thereby both expen*e snd shame. AN EDITOR'S EXPERIENCE. Prof. Guss, in retiring from the edi torship of the Huntingdon Globe, makes complaint that some of the officials whom he helped to elect did not give the Globe a fiair share of their printing, and he tenders the following partiugad viceto his party, via: "Lot mo give a few words of advice to the Kepnblicanß of this eonnty. Party papers are necessary to party success. Good organs are essential to the main tenance of even the best principles. You cannot expect your party to succeed if you neglect your party papers. On this suWect there is a terrible laxity among Republicans in this county. Re publicans patronize other print shops and even some no paper at all. There arc men who want office and give all their patronage elsewhere. * # It is an outrage for men to expect papers to turn in and secure the election of can didates to fat offices, who both before and after the election do nothing in aid of the papers whose help ia essential to their election. Every man who takes his job work and advertising to any of* fice not his party organ ought never be supported for any office." Moreover he says:— "In view of the persona! ingratitude of those elected by ua we regret that we can not take a hand in the election of their successor*. It would afford us pleasure to help elect 11. Clay Weaver, as the next Treasurer of this county. However, we rcatowmred that the next Treasurer will inform the readers of the Globe when and %bere he will bo to col lect taxes. The next Sheriff will also patronize the papers that secure his elec tion. And the next District Attorney will be a subscriber, and the next Pro* thonotory will fulfill bis promiees. It will not need my presence or aid to se cure this result. The party in self res pect will take care of its organ and in terests." NO COMPROMISE POSSIBLE RE -1 WEEN THE ST HIKERS AND OF El LI A IS. A Philadelphia reporter incurred at railroad headquarters in that city a- to the probability of a compromise, and re ceived tnisin response: "There is 110 nmnromi.se possible. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is simply protecting iU property against a lawless and frantic mob, which has nothing to do with this corporation. The ten per cent, reductiou which took place applied to every oflicer and every em ploye of this company, from the presi dent downward, and the assertion that some salaries were raised that they might not be affected by such reduction is ut terly without foundation in fact. This company proposes to rely upon the strong arm of the law for protection, and its trains will be moved when that pro* tcctiun shall have been found adequate. Tfco very slight reduction of ten per cent, that has been made is tho only r< - duction since the year 1873, and in the interim since that time the owners of tho property have suffered a diminution of revenues to the ninouut of forty per cent, against ten percent, taken off the ealariea of all employes." :ni: Ji "v.v.'.xv cm oo v rslt.t'Kl* .ok tub rtttsr tuir ijls77 an tKiDSMS ov.tr. i A*r \!' v It ia evident that the business of the, country generally only very slorvlv im proves.

These conditions are briefly stated to bo tetter crtqu, higher prices therefore; small imports, abund ant and cheap money ; a settled poUuoal condition, a sustained public credit and the promise of another most abundant harvest. Rut the circular adds: The experience of the mist docs not permit the hope that all tnis will bring around u prosperous or satisfiu tory trade. Something mote is ucoJod; but what tLo true remedy is none bar yet discovered. Numerous explauationaaie of course at lu\ud ; ami it is eloquently urged that the adoption of this or that policy would re--'.ore confidence aud prosperity. Yet tho fact remains that, in the presence of all favoring condi tions, depression reigrs, taints decline and business is restricted and unprofita ble. Judging from tho sUto of business abroad ah this is not chargeable to the peculiar disabilities under which this country labors. Other nations, with u gold basis, a low unit and uot iliargea ble with either public or prhuto extrava gance. are suffering even to a greater ex tent than the United States, with an ab senco of many of the advantage* ami prospects which this nation enjoys. Referring to the now generally re ceived impression that v care of economy anl liquidation must follow years of ex pansion ar 1 extravagance, tho agency attempts to illustrate tho nature ami ex tent of this expansion by tho rapid growth in tho creation of debt. The figures given aro probably fM to (I '.i ciarn, but, put in this shape, they arc very significant: "flie tignres most accessible show that the national debt, as compared with $64,000,000 in HWO, amounts to $2,200,- 000,000 in 1577; that the states' debt amounts to (375,000,000, tho municipal debt to? 1,000,000,000 the railway debt to 000,000. the discounts and loans of national and other banks to another 11,000,000,000, and the loans by insur ance and other mortgage machinery may be safely estimated nt another • $500,000,000. ("ironjiing all tin e rough ly together, the visible indebtedness, of .\bich somo financial conception maybe formed, amounts to the vast sum,of f 7,- 375,000,000. The curious can calculate how far the interest on this sum, ifregu larly paid, would absorb the yearly pro duct of the natnral aud other resources of the country. The calculation which the curious are here invited to make leads to the start ling conclusion that the intcrc-t on this debt at six per cent, amounts to over four hundred and thirty millions per annum —a snm larger than the surplus cotton and grain crops combined, iho circular prodeeds to draw some fuither references which will repay perusal. The rapid increase in uebt creating power which the above figures imply, in seme measure indicates the expenditure for permanent purposes in the last fif teen years. To what exteut that growth of population, or the increase in consum ing power, finds its fullest illustration in tho number of enterprises now profit leas, and especially those devoted to ar ticles at the foundation of human wants, such a* iron, coal, woolen |and other textile fabrics, lnmtjer, etc., etc. A lead ing economist in a recent article says: "The fact is now very generally recog nised that the capital which • • • has been invested in the United States sinco 1860 in iron works and woolen mills, and which represented the savings for years of a very large number of per sons, has been in great part as much wasted as though destroyed by firo or sunk in the ocean.'' In view of the cnormotiß expansion whi6h the above increase of indebtedness illustrates, is it any wonder that business is depressed and slow of recovery? Applying the same principles to the community as to an individual business man, the inevita ble result of such a growth of obliga tion, with such an inability to pay, is that disaster and a long processor liqui dation are sure to follow. The growth of tlic country, the development of its varied resources,economy and the steady application of conservative business principles, in time mav profitably em ploy all the facilities the lwt ten years nave created aud adjust this burden of debt so that it can be carried and event ually repaid. Only in proportion as that period is approached may a more healthy and prosperous condition bo anticipated; but the immediate future possesses no such hopes, more than it possesses abili ty to liquidate or make profitable the debt which has been accumulated with such fearful rapidity."

His name is Jones, Bcni ca Jones, of Newd* lum, Oregon, Iron Piatt's Capital gets the letter by special courtesy on the ile facto's part, cs compensation for those threats of assassination made by the Don last winter.

They will there meet opj sitlon. One gut.g of ( rioters is engaged in running street cars' into the stiiblcs on the south-side as U.t ss they com*. A short time ago it wst re ported that i. branch of the mob was mov ing on tho (las Works on the W."L~*ideJ but this i not yet confirmed. The coal j men at tho Water Works have boor, com-1 polled to quit work, and the shot tower; has been closed. Tho North-side mob is the most disor derly and is busy breaking windows wherever resisted. The I'hentx Distillery was seized by them, and the proprietors' called for United States troops. The tri-' ken drove the police back fromtbe North: side rolling mills and they were compell ed to return to tho station. Gen. For*i ranee, commanding tho military bore, has bocn informed. Many arrests have been made, cbifly vagabonds and thieves, who constitute the j crowd. Many men who were interferon with yertorday are going back to work to-day. Early thia morning Cftem or twenty roughs bearded an out-going train on th# Illinois Central Road, and compelled tue engineer to bring tho train back. An at tempt was n.ada to stop tho dummy from the stock yard to day, but the conductor, revolver In hand, detied the mob. The strikers detached an incoming train from Omaha, at Sixteenth street, last night Troops arrived this afternoon from the Indian country. The swearing in of spe cial police is going on rapidly. About 200 veteran* aro now enrolled. Vast nuro-i bers are said to be assembling in the lum ber districts. All the saloons on the West side are closed.
