Sem .a.ry.
THE Pittsburgh Commercial says there
is much talk now of compromise, or arbi
tration, for the fine: settlement of the labor
troubles. This is what we advised at the
outset. Even the New York Herald is
now disposed to be appreciative toward the
working classes. It says: "A railroad
is fi great and complicated machine, but it
is a blunder in him who manages it if he
considers the men who help him to work
it are machines also. They are men, human
beings, creatures with affections, enjoy
ments, hopes; with tempers more or less
good; they are charged with serious re
sponsibilities, and no man who travels
much by rail but must often have been
struck with the frightful risks he would
run on a journey of several hundred miles
if a great number of men, working at all
hours and in all weathers, and mostly under
disagreeable circumstances, were not ab
solutely faithful to their duties. A wise
railroad management would treat the men
thus employed in a friendly, considerate,
and Christian spirit; would show constant
and sincere interest in their welfare ; would
study out and bring into use expedients to
better the condition of their families, and
in these ways would endeavor to form a
corps of loyal, interested, contented work
men." This is the spirit that is needed.
While there is a strong disposition, with
some to recklessly censure the men, we
hold that they have suffered, and this fact
should be thought of.
THE members of the fraternity who
have spoken so kindly of our Philadelphia
enterprise, will consider us under lasting
obligations, and will accept our best bow
until we can make a better and more sub
atatitial acknowledgment. We go to Phil
adelphia to work for the benefit of the
country preo., believing that we know its
wants. We go there expecting the field
to be pretty well covered, but we mean to
work, remembering
"In the lexicon of Youth, which Fate reserves
Fur a bright manhood, there is no such word
Ab—fail!"
Tim Harrisburg Telegraph has been
dressed in a handsome new suit, its size
lessened, a nice white paper substituted
for the dirty-looking article heretofore
used, and otherwise improved in appear
ance. A marked improvement is also
noticeable in its news and local columns,
and upon the whole the paper is now a
credit to the State Capital. We are pleased
to notice these things in our old friend,
tht. Telegraph, and we hope it will continue
to receive a liberal patronage from the
Republicans thronghont the State.

CONUNDRUMS FOR POLITICAL
ECONOMISTS AND--OTHERS--
INCLUDING POLITICIANS.
- - EDITOR
It was nut expected that the editorial
in our last issue of the J oIIRNAL would
be endotsed by all. If our views were uni
versally preva!ent, as _expre,tiediast.week,
there would not have been a sit ike of such
magnitude as to fill the world with its
noise. And now that the Local .4\ - etcs and
"Civis," and perhaps “others," have so
much ground, as they no doubt sincerely
believe, to censure the JOURNAL for its
candidly spoken and conscientiously held
views, it may not be inappropriate to ask
a question or two which may help us all
to see the true light in this matter, which
is. we are willing to believe, what we all
desire :
First, then. Is it probable, if foreign
capitalists, with foreign notions of capital
and labor, had less influence in our railway
and mining systems and in our other in
dustries, that there would be so much snob
bish tendency in our corporations to re
plenish the empty, hungry pk.ckets of the
high officials, stockholders, bondholders
and so forth, by depleting the already
scanty wages of the day laborer and sub
ordinate employe ?
Second. Must the United States forces
and the State militia be subjected to those
foreign influences which would impose
upon this country the pauper-labor sys
tems of the Old World, so that our Gov
ernment is obliged to be, in a sense, the
powerful agent in the hands of foreign cap
italists and their American copyists and
sympathizers in enforcing their odious
foreign labor ideas upon the republican
masses of this country, putting us all in
a hateful position akin to that in which
citizens of the North were put, in ante
bellum times, by the detestable Fugitive
Slave Law ?
Third. Is it true that either corpora
tions or individuals have an unquabfied
right to purchase labor or its proceeds
with regard only to pecuniary profit ? In
other words, has any wan a moral or pub
lic right to get a fair day's work for less
than a fair day's wages ? If a man or a
corporation takes advantage of adverse
circumstances to enrich himself out of the
sorrows and calamities of his fellow-men
is he not a robber ? The Duke of Wel
lington thought so, and said so once,
though he was a fortigner. It is a max
im, in moral rights, at least, that a
man has no right to purchase the cheap
est where the purchase is extortion
or oppression. Men sotketimes fall back
upon their moral rights, as we said in sub
stance last week, when gigantic money
powers so control legislation that they have
little left but their moral rights and as
little of them as some men can make them.
Fourth. Push this maxim and so-called
right—to get the cheapest labor p)ssible
—to its logical results and then say why
every railroad corporation in the land, and
all other corporations, would not be justi-
fied in substituting, say, cooli", - any
Asiatic laborers, on our lines of travel and
traffic, and in our mills and mines, for our
home born and natutalizcd fellow-citizens;
neighbors, relatives perha?3—free, voting,
thrifty Americans ? Bat suppose this was
done, how many pens would be needed to
tell what revolutions there would be in
legislative halls—State and national—in
Gubernatorial and Presidential chairs—
and in all places of public and private trust
and authority ? "The mills of the Gods
grind slowly, but they grind exceeding
fine." Ballots fall silently, like snow flakes,
but they tell. If some one will rise up and
give us light on these conundrums, we
may be encouraged to seek further light
upon some more.

THE DELEGATE ELECTIONS.
The attention of the Republicansof Hun_
tingdon county is called to the fact that on
Saturday, the 18th inst., they are request
ed to elect delegates to the Republican
County Convention which assembles on
Wednesday following. This is an impor
tant duty—one of the most important that.
the citizen has to perform. No good cit
izen can afford to remain from these meet
ings. Here is where the mischief is done.
If bad materials are allowed to be elected
the Convention will not be a tit represen
tative of the party. Better a thousand
times stay away from the general election
than stay away from the primary meeting.
If both Republican and Democratic Con.
ventions are composed of good men the
candidates will be good, if not there is no
telling what may be the result. Let the
candidates of both parties be composed of
the best men who desire the place, and
half the work is done. We have saw more
evil come from not attending the delegate
elections than from any other feature in
our political system. If every good citi
zen were to frequent them it would be a
blessing that would pour out upon us un
told good Go to the delegate elections
and select good delegates—den of charac
ter and integrity—and the Convention will
do what is right.
Mil Harrisburg Patriot says that sonic
valiant editors have started out to "crush
the commune." The commune in this
country is now and will always remain as
shadowy and unsubstantial as an ifnis
fat ws. It will hardly serve to frighten
children witty.
WM. H. VANDERBILT, President of
the New York Central and Hudsoi River
railroad, has appropriated the sum of
$lOO,OOO to be divided among the employ
ees of his road. That is the way to do it.
TROOPS.—Troops were passing both east
and west all day of Wednesday. Bodkin
wants to know if this is done for the pur
pose of making a big bill for the State to
pay next winter. Shouldn't wonder.
Gov. BARTAANFT remarked, on Sun•
day last, that he would uphold the civil
authorities and protect all citizens, but
leave the railroad and employees to settle
their own disputes.
AT the election, in Altoona, on Tuesday
last, Thomas H. Greevy, Democrat and
Labor Reformer, was elected City Recorder
over John Shaw, Republican, by a majori

THE STRIKE ENDED.
PITTSBURGH, July 30.—The General in-Chief
of Pennsylvania, Gov. Hartranft with his staff
and five thousand U. S. regulars and militia
now occupy the territory embraceu between
the Union depot and Thirty-third street. The
Governor's headquarters are in a passenger
car run out on a side track at Thirty third
street. The Governer and troops experienced
no little trouble in reaching Pittsburgh on
account of the difficulty of pr , -wring engi
neers to run trains, as noticed in our previous
dispatches. Now the most thorough arra•.ge
meets have been perfected here for the main
tenance of law and order. They are all
encamped at three points within the city
limits on the Pennsylvania railroad. A por
tion in the vicinity of Tweaty-e4-,ht street, a
portion at Thirty-third street and .he remain
der at East Liberty, all ready to proceed at a
moment's notice to any place of disturbance,
not only to points in this locality but to any
others along the line of the Pennsylvania
railroad and elsewhere in Pennsylvania where
disturbances may begin.
It is well that Gov. Hartranft has been
prevailed upon to be here in person. Leading
merchants and business men have represented
the situation to him in such a light that his
presence was imperatively demanded.
The Governor wears a faded hickory shirt
and is without coat or vest; a welt worn
suspender tied around his waist keeps his
pantaloons up. and he would be the last one
out of the gaudily dressed staff that would be
picked out as the Governor. He stated that
he was determined to open up business on
the railroads and will be prepared to guarran
tee shippers and travelers that their lives and
property would be secure within the boinds
of Pennsylvania. He says his force is ample
to open up the roads and that he has full
crews of experienced men to fill the vacant
positions.
A continuance of the strike and disorder
would soon cut short the supply of coal and
compel all the factories of the city and vicin
ity to stop work and thereby bring untold
distress to thousands of workingmen thrown
out of employment. His presence here seems
to have at once established confidence, law
and order. _ _
There has bees no disturbance of any kind
since his arrival here and the utmost harmony
now seems to be already inaugurated.
Trains on the Pennsylvania railroad have
been arriving on time since Sunday. A
through freight train of twenty-four loaded
cars arrived this afternoon from New York to
Chicago. Others will arrive during the night.
A track is already in running order to the
Union depot. Another track will be com
pleted to-day, and in a very few days but little
trace will be left of any damage done to the
track from the round house to the Union depot.
Six freight trains (225 cars) for Philadelphia
and New York were sent out to-day from the
outer depot, and others will follow to-night.
Large forces of workmen were engaged ail day
clearing off the site along the road from toe
roundhouse to the Union depot.
It is only on the Pittsburgh division of the
road now that the strike principally exists.
Since there is law and order established it
will be but a few days before most of the men
who quit work will be at their posts.
PITTSBURGH ; July 31.—Everything is quiet
and the strike among the railroad employees
is to all appearances ended. The first three
trains sent out on this road were under mili
tary guard, but no trouble having occurred,
the trains are now running without guards.
The company is not receiving freight for ship.
meats yet, but this is owing to the fact that
the tracks over the burnt district are •ot yet
completed. The home military are till under
arms and the forces under Gov. Hartranft
maintain their position at 28th street. The
United States troops are encamped on the ar
senal grounds and comfortably situated in ev
ery respect.
Dyspepsia. Dyspepsia. Dyspepsia.
Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all
human ailments. Its symptoms are almost
infinite in their variety, and the forlorn and
despondent victims of the disease often fancy
themselves the prey, in turn of every known
malady. This is due, in part to the close
sympathy which exists between the stomach
and the brain, and in part also to the fact that
any distur' ances of the digestive function
necessarily disorders the liver, the bowels and
the nervous system, and effects, to some extent,
the quality of the blood.

EDITOR Jol/RNAL.—Considering the disordered
condition of communication throughout the coun
try, it is a little uncertain when this will reach
you, but when it does, you can publish it if nottoo
old or throw it aside, just as you see fit.
A little more than a week ago I started from
the quiet precincts of Huntingdon county, for a
little trip through Western Pennsylvania and Ohio,
stopping for a couple of days at the town of Indi
ana, where is located the newest of Pennsylvania's
State Normal Schools. This institution has a very
fine building constructed with all the modern con
veniences, an intelligent and liberal Board of
Trustees and an accomplished corps of instructors
a :d is apparently doing good servioe in preparing
young men and women to take charge of "the
people's colleges," of the western portion of our
State.
unless our older institutions of this character
are diligent in adopting all improvements in the
art of teaching and in eliminating all which at
present weakens and impairs their influence, they
will have the mortification of seeing their patron
age gradually dwindling away and their ancient
honors worn by others. Indiana, the county seat
of Indiana county, is a neat tittle town of about
2500 people, with a very fine court house, good
church edifices, substantial business blocks, neat
and tasteful and in some cases elegant private res
idences, and altogether has an air of enterprise,
refinement and culture pleasing to observe and
speaking volumes for its citizens.
From Indiana our route lay through Pittsburg,
which seemed smokier, dirtier and busier than ev
er. As we took passage on the Pan Handle train
on the morning of the 19th and watched the busy
throng of travel pouring in and out of the Union
Depot, and trains arriving and departing with the
regularity of clock-work, we little thought that four
days later the hill above the depot and the streets
around it, would be filled with s hooting, yelling,
frenzied multitude bent on the destruction of the
property of the great corporation in whose employ
many of them had prospered foryears, and thirst
ing for the blood of those who had been sent to
maintain law and protect property. Butsuch are
the terrible facts which the last few days have re
vealed. Passing on to Newark, 30 miles east of
Columbus, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
the road on which the present strike began, an op
portunity has been offered of watching its progress
and development from a point near its source. In
Newark, the Baltimore and Ohio men struck on
the 20th and from that time have allowed no one
to take out any freight cars. Several attempts
were made on that day and the following to put
new men on the engines, and ouite a number of
volunteers came forward and offered their services,
but in every instance they were prevented from
moving trains by the strikers, who although not
riotous or violent were firm and determined, and
if their orders were not obeyed, soon collected suf
ficient numbers to enforce obedience and prevent
trains from leaving. Passenger trains were allow
ed to proceed as usual, although many attempts
were made to induce train hands to desert so that
the tratns could not proceed. Soldiers were order
ed out, and at present there are about 500 militia
from Columbus and other points, in the city,
guarding the round house and extensive machine
shops of the Baltimore and Ohio company, and
ready to act in case of emergency. ?bus far the
strikers on the Baltimore and Ohio and the Pan
Handle roads are quiet and sober and peaceable
and only insist on a restoration of their wages to
the former figures before a freight train is moved.
As your readers doubtless are all aware, the strike
was begun on the Baltimore and Ohio in resistance
to a proposed reduction of 10 per cent. on the wa
ges of firemen and brakemen. The strike was at
first limited to firemen and brakemen, but it has
ere th.s spread to almost every grade of service,
even to laborers unconnected with railways. On
the Baltimore and Ohio, firemen and brakemen re
ceive the same pay. Before the proposed reduc
tion the two grades of each were receiving $1.50
and $1.75 respectively, the day's run on that road
being 100 miles. This rednction had been made
on most of the roads in the country and quietly
acquiesced in, as in conformity with the downward
tendency of all kinds of commodities. After the
proposed reduction firemen anu brakemen
of the tao grades will receive $421 and $493 per
year without any extra trips, fur which extra pay
is received. But the strike spread to other roads,
and it bag now be _awe well nigh general. And it
seems that all the malice and turbulence and evil
passion of the sub stratum of our cities has become
areased, and as in the case of Pittsburg, deems the
present a fit occasion to vent its rage upon law
and property and society.
A few words as to the question. It behooves
every one nt matter what may be his standing, as
to wealth, labor or social position, to understand
properly and judge dispassionately of this whole
question, a question, which I venture to say tran
scends in importance any which has come before
the American people for years, not excepting sla
very. Every right thinking person sympathizes
with the working class, that great multitude who
labor with their hands, and carry on the world's
mechanical industries, who almost actualize the
feat of the fabled Atlas and bear the world upon
their brawny shoulders. We are proud of their
intelligence and integrity, and their rights are
just as sacred in the eye of the law and of gov
ernment as the rights of the most eminent in the
land. As one high in the estimation of the peo
ple of this country eloquently said a few years
ago: "All the civil and military force of this Re•
public will be used, if necessary, to secure the
punishment of that nation, or individual, who
dares to lay its lightest finger unlawfully upon the
meanest man who claims protection in his rights
as an American citizen." It will be conceded that
any man or class of men dissatisfied with their
wages have a right to refuse to work, but in this
strike the mee have assumed everywhere as a po
sition not to be qweetiolied, that they have a right
to determine that no one else shall work, and in
carrying out their determination they have had to
resort to violence, actually waging war on the
company and also on the State authorities sent to
protect the company in its rights. They have thus
made themselves public enemies, liable to be pur
sued, apprehended and punished as such. No com
munity can afford to let law-breakers of this kind
go unpunished. They have made themselves crim
inals deliberately, and it must be made plain that
such deeds as were committed in Pittsburg the
other day, will meet wit , . sure and swift frustra
tion and punishment, or the lives and property of
our best citizens will soon become the recognized
prey of the worst of the dangerous classes. It may
be urged that at Pittsburg it was the mob and not
the strikers rho burned and killed and pillaged.
Grant that this may be wholly true, which is ex
tremely doubtful, yet it must be admitted that
without the occasion produced by the strike, the
riot would have been impossible. And what ac
tion on the part of the railway company could
justify the persistent refusal of the strikers to al
low the fire companies to throw water on the prop
erty of the railway company? To me it seems that
honest law-abiding men looking into this question
as far as it relates to property rights, can come to
but one conclusion.
What would one of the farmers of the Juniata
Valley think if in the midst of wheat harvest his
men would come to him some morning and ray
Mr. A. wehavenoobjection to harvest your wheat,
but we want more wages; we want $1.75 a day.
and what is more, if we don't get it, we won't cut
your crop nor allow any person else to do it. You
may go and come as you please, but you shan't in
terfere witk these wheat fields, or put any one to
work •r we will shoot them." What do yen think
the farmer would do Well, I think be would call
in the services of the Sheriff and a posse, and have
these men arrested and peniehed and would go on
witk his harvesting with all the help he could pro
cure and all the people in the neighborhood would
applaud the farmer's course. This is a fair par
allel, the only difference being found in the num
bers employed, and the magnitude of the interests
involved. Many of the roads are not paying their
owners, i. e., the stockholders. When proprietors
of private enterprises find themselves in this posi
tion, they suspend operations. but with railroads
it is different. They must go on in some way, for
their charters impose upon them a perpetual exist
ence, and the only course open to them is to cut
down expenses, just as all the great lines in the
country have hem doing. The question which was
presented to them was : Shall we pay each of oar
employees less, or shall we discharge a large num
ber outright, since decrease expenses we must.
Some of the large companies including the B. A
0., and Pennsylvania adopted the former alterna
tive, and then came discontent and finally the
strike, the men failing to see that the decrease of
pay arose in most cases from the effort of the roads
to furnish employment on a much smaller volume
of business to the same number of men as before.
Do striking railroad employees have any better
riot to prevent the running of cars on the road
than a discontented farm hand has to prevent the
farmer's orop from being harvested ? The Rail—
road company's property, as far as the right to be
protected in its enjoyment is concerned, is just as
mach private property as that of any farmer, for
is it not the property of stockholders, each of whom
is a private citizen, and the stock is distributed
among thousands of persons, many of whom are
comparatively poor.
We feel that the state of the labor market is de
plorable, and earnestly desire that the oonditien
of the working men of the country might be im
proved ; but while zealously striving towards this
end, we may question whether the stoppage of all
transportation, the derangement of what little bus
iness there is, and the destruction of millions of
property will further the end we seek, and we must
also bear in mind that the history of the past
teaches that strikes are unsound in theory and per
nicious in practice, recoiling with accumulated
force upon the heads of those who inaugurate them
and setting to work the worst forces of society to
prey upon the accumulations of industry and pru
dence and spread terror end devastation abroad.
Let us then, hope that in these trying times,
none through mistaken sympathy, will give
strength to those forces which can only disinteg-
rate and destroy, but rather, de what can be done
to support the properlyconstituted authorities, re
membering that there is no real variance between
capital and labor, that their interests are really
identical and that only by means of the hearty and
complete union and co-operation of the two ca.
real prosperity cone to any community or nation.

The Great Strike—The Commune Leaders—The
Prospect.
THE GREAT STRIKE
The great strike which has plunged the whole
country into a condition of anarchy, is the pre
vailing topic. The stoppage of traffic on the rail
roads has had a most disastrous effect on the busi
ness of the city, and, corning, as it does, just as
we began to see glimmers of daylight, is all the
more depressing. It is a thousand pities that the
madmen could not let the roads operate in peace
till the enormous crop that covers the entire West,
was gotten to market, and the money for it dis
tributed in the hands of the farmers. It is
thousand pities that men haven't sense enough to
know that force never did add a cent to a man's
wages, and that labor is something that regulates
itself, and which physical force can neither alter
or amend. There was, all the week, a feverish
feeling of apprehension. There are in the city
fifty thousand honest men out ofemploymeat, fifty
thousand more whe wouldn't do a stroke of work
to save their lives, so boil; as anything can bs
found to steal; and then these are twenty thousand
men at work, who are infected with the terrible
dogmas of eommunism, and who are born agitators.
The strikes in Baltimore and Pi tsburgh set these
classes into a ferment. The unemployed wanted
work, the communists wanted an opportunity to
"strike for the rights of man," and the ruffians and
tramps wanted disorder that they might pillage
with impunity. The excitement culminated :n a
molest°r meeting at Tomkin'e square, Wednesday
night, under the direction of hohawo, Thompson
and Swinton, the three leaders of the New York
communists. When the meeting was called the
city was in a state of alarm. It was feared that
the fanatical leaders would intim, the multi'ude
sure to be there, and that the meeting would cul
minate in a riot, which would end no one could
tell when or where. The authorities acted prompt
ly and with discretion. The National fluard was
ordered under arm-, and a very large number of
special police were genre in. They gave the
communists permission • hold their meeting, but
gave them to understat 7,hat the place would be
surrounded by police, and at the first intimation
of disorder the military would be brought into
requisition, and that there would be no hallway
work about it. The leaders saw that the authori
ties meant business and they instructed their fol
lowers to keep the peace, which fortunately for
themselves they did. The meeting was a fizzle,
and with the fizzle ended the hopes of the roughs
of New York, to inaugurate a riot here.
The effect upon busiress has been terrible. Im
mense masses of freights lie in the depots, there is
no regularity in mails, end the influx of strangers
into the city has almost ceased. Trade is almost
as entirely at a stand-still, as it is in Pittsburgh.
But it ean't last. Men may stand and swing clubs
and yell, a few days, but they have got to eat,
and food was never got by swinging clubs and
yelling. The Pennsylvania road is now open, and
the others will be in a day or two ; and the regular
tow of bueines will begin again,

Justus H. Schawb is a German of perhaps forty
eve, who professes to spend all his time brooding
over the wrongs of the laboring man, which does
not interfere however with his selling a great deal
of lager-beer to the oppressed, which his wife
draws. In times like these, Echawb does a splen
did business, and it is shrewdly suspected that he
is not averse topopular demonstrations. He holds
that property is robbery, that there should be an
immediate divide, and that a rich man is a crimi
nal. lie iv a tall blonde, very powerful and mus
cular, and has a wonderful influence over the long
haired of his race. Thompson, the other leader, is
a tall, dyspeptic Englishman, who was an agitator
in his native country. Ho is a man of some elo
quence—of the kind known as gab. He can talk
by the hour of the 'Rights of man," and the "Op
pression of labor," with all the rest of that flap
doodle which such fellows have vexed the world
with for so many years.
At the beginning, Schawb and Thompson in
tended to precipitate a riot, but the Police Com
missioners gave them to understand that they
would be held responsible fur any trouble that
might arise, and they wisely held their followers
in check. Your ranter is usually a very cautious
man when it comes to himself. But they will go
right along, and organize societies ''for the amel
ioration of the condition of the laboring man," and
collect money and preach c aninunisw, living the
while very comfortably on the contributions of
their dupes. And then when strikers come they
will keep very Quiet in the back-ground out of
range of shot and shell, till the fight is over, when
they will emerge and go through the same process
again. Your professional labor-reformer, like the
professional reformer of any kind, is a most pes
tilent fellow. It is to be observed that he never
tries to improve the condition of the laboring man
by the exercise of the virtues of temperance, hard
work and saving—not he. What he wants is that
the man who has earned and saved money shall be
compelled to divide it with the man who has
squandered all that he earns, or who is too indo
lent to earn any. It is amusing to hear men in
Seh twb's beer saloon, sit by the hour deploring
the "condition of the honest working man who is
starving," spending the while the money for beer
and cigars that their wives aro earning at the
wash-tub. Suggest to one of these fellows that
he had better go out and earn a dollar or two, and
he world answer that he was no slave ! and he sits
and drinks beer and smokes, consuming in this
way money enough to make him rich if he would
save it and put it at interest.
The rioters don't apparently seem to know that
every dollar they destroy they have to pay in the
end. The counties, cities, and States are respon
sible for the destruction of property, and every
dollar burnt will go into the tax duplicate. They
may think that the property-holders will pay it,
but they are mistaken. It all comes out of the
labor in the end ; the mobite who lives by theft
is the gainer for he never pays anything, but the
honest worker deluded into these movements, will
find the bills charged up to him in the end, and he
will settle them. It is a very serious matter.
About five millions were destroyed in Pittsburgh,
which is about $32 per head for all the men, wom
en, and children in the city. Rioting is r costly
amusement.
THE PROSPECT
is encouraging. The enormous crops th.t cover
the West, have been harvested in splendid condi
tion, and some of it is reaching the city. Currency
is going out from here by the million with which
to move it. Capital that has long been lying idle
is out in active service once more, and the good
effects are being felt everywhere. Up to the time
of the strike, buyers were coming in freely, and
there seemed to be a certain promise of the renewal
of business we have been so long waiting for. The
strike will be of short duration, and then the great,
the generous tide will set thitherward and our half
deserted streets and altogether deserted ware
houses will show life again. The country is bare
of goods, the enormous crop now being secured will
furnish the mesns to get them, and there must be
a good business done this fall. The merchants are
lying idle just now, but they are certain of a good
season, and are content. PIETRO.
Letter from Delaware.
FELTON, DELAWARE, July 27th, 1877.
. _
MR. EDlTOR.—Seeing that you frequently pub
lish letters from the far West and thinking that an
occasional few lines from the Atlantis region may
not prove entirely devoid of interest to the readers
of the Jot:l:set, I concluded to ask space for a few
impressions received during a sojourn of upwards
of throe months. As immigration and travel have
been chiefly westward for many years, some of
the earliest settled portions of our country have
become the least known to us. Probably the near
est of these comparatively unknown regions is the
long, irregular, narrow neck of land, bounded by
the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays and the Atlan
tic Ocean, embracing the little State of Delaware
the counties of Northampton and Accomack in
Virginia and that portion of Maryland known as
the eastern shore. This tract 200 miles in length,
varying from 5 to about SO miles in width, indent
ed by deep bays, fringed with islands, penetrated
by deep, broad estuaries, abounding in varied and
interesting peculiarities of soil, climate and vege
tation, was until of late years but seldom visited
by the tourist and though but a few hours ride
from the over-populated cities of the East, was,
until quite recently, almost entirely overlooked by
those in search of desirable and profitable homes.
Slavery, however existed previous to the war,
which may in a great measure account for its for
mer neglect. In some parts the land was mostly
held in large estates by those who under the old
regime owned their labor This state of things ex
isted for eenerations and as a consequence north
ern farmers and laborers. in general, had no de
sire to locate, besides being near the best markets
few wished to sell land'and whet little was offered
was held too high for men of moderate means.
Though a considerable part of the Peninsula was
little more than nominal slave territory- yet the
whole afforded but limited educational eno social
opportunities to the laboring classes. The events
of the war caused a radical change of affairs. The
slaves were set free, leaving the owners to their
own resourece. Many had never learned to labor
and knew in their own personal experience but lit
tle of toil and hence found themselves unable to
properly cultivate and care for their large estates,
the panic with its depreciation in values followed,
and this and various other causes may account for
the quantity of land now thrown upon the market.
That many northern and western men are taking
advantage of the opportunities now offered for set
tling is not at all surprising for now we find, here
a country level, or moderately undulating, rich,
and beautiful in rural scenery, a soil, alluvial in
character and formation, free from stones and
though some of it still thin and rather poor yet
all easily cultivated and improved, generous in
response to the toil and expenditures of the hus
bandman and admirably adapted to the produc
tion of all the cereals, grams, fruits, vegetables
and flowers of the temperate zone. The climate is
equable, pleasant and healthful, being fanned at
all times of day and night by breezes from the
large bodies of salt water by which it is nearly
surrounded. This favored section is subject neith
er to the extreme heat of the south nor to the long,
cold, rigorous winters of the north, that it is
healthful, is amply attested by the large frames,
fresh color end apparent vigor of the inhabitants.
The grand network of railroads which reaches al
most every town and village, together with the
steamboats and other vessels that ply along the
shores and penetrate the interior by means of nav
igable streams afford unsurpassed facilities for
shipping are: travel. Both Delaware and Mary
land have excellent eyeteuens of common schools
offering instructions free to all children and youth
of the proper a.se for from 6 to 10 months a year.
Private instructions of learning of a higher grade
are numerous .. ,d generally well sustained. The
Peninsula is well supplied with churches of the va-
Heuer christian dee ow in ations,Met hodist,Preabyte
rian, Episcopal, Baptist and Catholic are the prin
cipal ones. Sabbath schools are generally establish
ed and maintained in connexion with the various
congregations, and the different social organisa
tions are fully established.. Free Masons, Odd
Fellows, Knights of Phythiaa, Grangers, Good
Tempters, Ac., are represented.
Considering the moderate price of land, the cli
mate, supply of timber, quality of soil, religious,
social sad educational privileges, the proximity to
salt water luxuries—fish, oysters, clams, terrapin,
ducks, Ac., the delicious luxuries of the soil—
peaches, pears, apples, strawberries, raspberries,
blackberries, grapes, melons, Ac., the location—its
nearness to the greet cities of Wilmington, Phila
delphia, New York, .Boston, Baltimore, to., the
wonderful means of communication, and transpor
tation and travel by land and water and the excel
lency of our common roads, we regard this Penin
sula as one of the most inviting spots on the con
tinent to the agriculturist and horticulturist and
as an abode of retirement to the man of wealth.
A number of northern men made sad shipwrecks
here in the past and I would sound the note of
warning to those who come with the intention of
locating. The moderate price at which farms are
offered and the beauty of the country are very
temptiug to purchase largely and plunge heavily
into debt. This policy does, sometimes, succeed
but the danger of failing is great and the better
and safer way for every one, is to buy within his
means, remembering that a email farm properly
cultivated and improved is far mere remunerative
than a large one without the means to give it such
culture. Wheat harvest is over and the crop has
been good, corn has been largely planted, and
promises very well. Trucking is carried on to a
large extent in some parts of the State. A Mr.
Reese, near Milford, has 8 acres in melons and ex
pects to ship :10 tons. But few peaches have as
yet been shipped from title State, but work will
soon commence in earooet. Theorop here is large,
the reports from other parts of the peach regions
are somewhat conflicting, yet it may, I think, safe
ly be presumed that the actual yield will be large
ly in excess of the general estimate. Prices are
expected to be low and great efforts are being made
to properly distribute and utilize the crop. This
Peninsula is at last favored with a sea-side sum
mer resort. The several railroad lines forming the
route via. Salisbury, Md., have erected a commo
dious hotel, capable of entertaining 400 guests at
Ocean City, and excursions from Wilmington and
intermediate points along the line of the Delaware
division of P. W. A B. railroad are now quite fre
quent. It is claimed that the place is unequaled
for surf bathing and yachting on the Atlantic coast.
Camp meetings and Sunday School Conventions
will soon commence and a lively time is anticipat
ed. The weather so far has been delightful. Some
times quite warm for a few consecutive days, fol
lowed by showers, which were in turn followed by
cool breezes. The nights are, in general, cool and
pleasant. A. H. K.
Letter from Southern Kansas.
WINFIELD, KANSAS, July 24th, 1877.
MR. EDITOR:—In my previous article I promis
ed to furnish you with a description of this part
of Kansas. The land consists generally of three
distinct qualities: First, that which lies along the
streams is styled first bottom, and extends back to
where the ground begins to rise when it assumes
:.he name of second bottom, which in turn extends
back to the bluff, whence it takes the name of up
land. The first bottom land possesses the richest
soil in - grater abundeaseti, and in a dry season
produce& the best crops. Should the season how
ever protest.) be wet, :tbe second bottom land is
more desirable on accost:et of it not being so liable
to become inundated, ails first bottom land. The
upland dote not posselit as good soil as either of
the other two classes igf,land, on account of the
rook beint near the surface, consequently the soil
is not so deep, and more liable to be affected by
dry weather. Here and there are bluffs or mounds
rising ap in the prairies which contain a species
of limestone of a whitish color and soft nature,
but by exposure to the sun becomes very firm and
hard. A building constructed properly of this
rock presents a very fine appearance.
The soil of first bottom land is mostly of a black
ish color, and froal one to four feet deep, that of
second bottom is kill) of a blackish color with
more of a varied., of an ash color, averaging
about the same in depth. Alona ° the foot of the
bluffs the soil is extreine'y black, occasioned by
the sediments of the sides of the bluffs accumula
ting. Seeoud bottom land is generally considered
the most preferable, being free from the dangers
of overflowing. The South. rn part of Kansas, a
few years ago, belonged to the Indian Territory.
In 1870 it was surveyed and divided into counties.
Crowley county, being the central southern county.
Winfield, the county seat, is a flcurishing town of
1500 inhabitants, situated on Walnut river a trib
tary of the Arkansas, and possessing the best site
for a good town of any in the south-west. It has
some fine store buildings and dwelling houses, and
more are being built. Two very fine churches are
almost completed, one a Presbyterian the other a
Methodist. A railroad is expected to reach here
in one year from now. A very vigorous fight has
been in operation for three or four months in re
gard to voting bonds in the different counties
through which the road is to be built, they were
voted in all but one county, and that one was to
have another election fur a final decision on the
17th inst., as yet we have not learned the results.
The eastern terminus of the road is at Memphis,
Tennessee, and is built as faf as Parson's, 120
miles east of us. If the road is extended from the
latter place here it will afford an excellent eastern
market for the products of this part of Kansas.
At present we are about 50 miles from a railroad.
Owing to the continued wet weather, during the
time of wheat heading and blossoming, the crop
will not be as large as expected. Those on second
bottom farms will have the bast yield. I know of
one man who cut and threshed eleven acres of
wheat and had only 27 bushels, this however was
raised on first bottom land and was overflowed du
ring the wet weather. Some will have an average
of 18 or 20 bushels to the acre.
