After that they submit to a reduction of one dollar per ton, with an agreement that a further reduction shall take place in case the price of iron decreases. This arrangement seems to be accepted by all panies as final, and in a few weeks the mills will un doubtedly be running to their full capaci ty. The Pittsburgh Commercial sums up the result as follows : " The number of men out of employ ment, .March 1, was estimated to be as follow-: l'uddlers, 700; helpers, nail la borers, and others dependent on the work of the puddlcrs for support, 3,000; miners on the soutli side of the Monongahela, on the Yougiogheny, and the Pennsylvania Railroad, 1,( 00; iron moulders 160; labor ers dependent on their work for employ ment. 1,000; glass blowers, 300: laborers dependent on them for work, 700. This makes the total number of men out of em ployment at that time, 7,000. An average of "three dollars per day for these men would he a low estimate at the prices paid at the time of the strike: at this rate from January 15 to March 31, the wages paid would have been about $1,302,0(>0. At this time some of the mills starting fur nished part of the men with work. Al lowing 5,i)00 to have been out of employ ment since that time and to remain so until the new arrangement goes into ef fect, their wages at the same rate would amount to $1,080,000. The 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 tlie loss which our city has sustained by the lockout. It is no won der that all parties are glad to see the mat ter satisfactorily arranged." Tlie Hliisky Democracy. '1 he Lewistown Democrat of last week, with apparent relish, copies the siang of the Indiana Democrat abusing the editor Gazette for exposing t he grogshop organs. They may froth and fume as much as they please, hut it will be an uphill business for them to convince their readers they have not been doing all that was charged. To show the brazen effrontery of the In diana Democrat, we republish the extract on which we had commented. That pa per, after abusing the court for not grant ing licenses against law, calls on the "people" to vote down the prohibitory local laws as follows: "To rebuke this species of Jesuitism, we call upon the people of the county, without respect to party, to turn out at the polls this fall and vote down the spe cial anti-license law, which is now at tempted to he forced upon the people." We said this was introducing temper ance into politics by democracy. Who doubts it ? Here there is nothing garbled, nothing mutilated or altered, but the sentence car ries a plain and direct meaning which any one can understand, yet the Indiana cop perhead denounces us in such choice terms its "inherent liar," <kc., and the Lewis town Democrat, which occasionally gives a slap at Good Templars and temperance men, republishes the trash. The infer ences we drew were natural, for it is all folly for papers which time and again charge Good Templars with having polit ical ends in view against the patent de mocracy to allege that they are anything else than grog shop apologists—a fact which the better class of tavernkeepers is beginning to realize. The Diamond Dickens. — Martin Chuzzlc- U it - —This is the fifth volume of the hand some and popular "Diamond Edition" of Dickens' Works, and in style and appear ance it is an exact copy of the four elegant little volumes that preceded it. "Martin Chuzzlewit" is of unusual in terest to American readers, as it waswrit ten soon after Dickens visited this coun try, and contains the result of his obser vations. On its first appearance it aroused great indignation in the United States by 'he severity of its satire. We were ready to admit that Pecksniff, Jonas Chuzzlewit, --irey Gamp, and Montague Tigg were accurate representatives of English socie ty. hut dei-laied that Elijah Pogram, Mrs. Hominy, < 'oionel Diver, and Jefferson brick were gross caricatures of people hving in America. But when we remem ber the locality of "Eden"—now better known to tlie world as Cairo, at the eon !• i -nee of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers -tli- peculiarities of the Missouri bush vOuu-kers and their leading politicians at m time Dickens visited America, and ;••• ir outrages all through the recent re -ion, we may forgive the novelist for u'jiiig what the leading illustrated papers c ne past two years have done in sketch es in the border and Southern i. T *V r 19 exactly what Dickens " done in "Martin Chuzzlewit." He f" io r an s'!>P° rt .unity to sketch the '•'ailties of the English people quite asse ,("j • ■ and probaliiy*.as truthfully as he '''! "hall-horse, liulf-alligator" men • no formerly ruled in the regions border ,!|g on the Mississippi river. These in mviiiuals came within Mr. Dickens' scope ' "• quaintanee when he was here, and ley were as fair game for his satire as I c'-ksnift himself.

C. Wilson for said delegate. Robert L. Gamble, W. F. Shaw and Samuel Haffly were chosen Senatorial Conferees to nominate a delegate to the! next State Convention. \Y . F. Shaw then submitted the follow ing resolutions which were unanimously I adopted: " I Resolved , That as the proper time is ar riving for the people to give expression to their opinions as to the next candidate for President, we recognize in Geueral U. 1 S. Grant the man peculiarly adapted to meet the exigencies of the times arising j from the lute rebellion, feeling' fully as sured that while he would mete out ini-1 partial justice, tempered with the attrib utes of mercy, to all who submitted in j good faith to the requirements of law, lie! would also see that justice be done to those who still remain defiant and in the atti tude of rebels to a government whose len- j iency has astonished the monarchists of; Europe. Resolved, That the persistent refusal of the leading Southern rebels to all the measures proposed by Congress for re-ad mitting the Southern States to represen tation, and especially their contemptuous rejection of the wise and liberal amend- j incuts to the Constitution, have fully jus tified all the subsequent measures adopted ! by Congiess, and that the country, and I the safety of its institutions now demand a vigorous enforcement of the reeonstruc-! tion acts. Resolved, That any officer of the Gov ernment, from the President down, who! will henceforward throw obstacles in the! way of the enforcement of those laws, or who will endeavor to render them nuga tory, as was the case with the first act, | where the U. S. Attorney General gave j opinions at variance with both facts and! clear intentions of the law-making power, ought to he visited with summary and j condign punishment. Resolved That although we recognize! in Gens. Sheridan, Sickles, and others, I now wieldiug power under the military reconstruction acts as old democrats—onej of whom at least was a shining light in that party —we cordially approve of the measures they adopted to restore their! districts to a comparative state of peace,; law and order; and that the removal of either, unless for other causes, would show an inference that tlie powers that be are more desirous of punishing Union men for their loyalty than rebels for their treason. Resolved, That Hon. B. J. Morrell, j member of Congress from this district, I has proved a faithful and able representa tive, ever at his post and ready to perform j the duty the people ask at his hands. Resolved, That Governor Geary has j shown himself an able civilian, as he was j a good soldier, and will do honor to the! high position he holds. Resolved That our late representative in the Assembly, James M. Brown, Esq.,: performed his duty faithfully, and that even where differences of opinion existed among his constituents as to liis course, ail yield him a conscientious discharge of his duties.

Mr. Pierrepont, a democratic attorney from Now \ ork, in liis closing speech for the prosecution, makes some points against Surratt and his mother, which those dem ocrats who contend for the innocence of these parties may he able to refute. In reference to Surratt he says : Now let us come to one vital truth in. this ease. Here it is: John Harrison en tered his name on April 18, 1805. in the register of the St. Lawrence Hotel, Mon r.'T a ' - ." le maul he prisoner at the bar. i 1 here is no dispute aliout that. After that he passed through the hotel, he made no : hill, and he lied somewhere. He tied to | the house of a man named Porterfield, ! | and then two carriages came up, and two men, both dressed alike, got into a car riage and were driven in different diree- I lions. Weil, then, he was fleeing, either! because he was in the conspiracy, or be i cause he was not. He went to a priest— ' ! the priest Boucher, who has not done his' | church any credit, for the Pope and Car i dinal Antonclli gave up this prisoner on account of the hideousness of his crime and Boucher will hear from the Pope be- j | fore another year. Here the prisoner re ! mained concealed. Why concealed? it i was because he was innocent or because | was guilty. \\ hieh it was the jury must determine. Well, Surratt was con-' eealed until September, and then taken on board a steamer and introduced as Mc- Carty, and the steamer starts upon the sea for the Old World. He is not upon t he steamer thirty minutes before lie fears an American detective is on hoard, and i he tells McMillan he has done such things as would make him [McMillan] stare.—j He could not keep his secret to himself, and he went behind the wheel-house and talked to McMillan ; he unburdened his j mind tor relief. When he got on the lone! j ocean lie could not help telling the secret, ; and he told it. He arrives at Ireland. He hesitated whether he should land at Ire-1 : land or England, and alter concluding! ! first to land in England, he changed his! mind and landed in Ireland. Before landing lie takes tumbler after tumblerof rum and brandy until he is drunk. But in Ireland his conscience pursues him, j and we next find him wandering in Liv-I erponl; and he lied again to Borne, away from his country and liis kinsmen, and | enlists, and changes his name to Wattson. ; He supposes himself safe. Sate! God! does not allow such things to be safe. It must have been an awful hour when lie: saw Bt. Marie's face. He then goes to St.! Marie and tells him about his disguise, I and how he escaped, and then he heard a voice from the Vatican that the Pope's!, dominions had no place for him. He then makes a leap for his life and flees to Mai ta, hut he finds no security there; and lie ! llees to Egypt, that ancient land where j Joseph was a slave. There, amid the , grandest monuments—there even the co lossal sphynx, looking through his stony ; 1 eyes, says that that darkened land can ( have no place for such treason and crime, j And thence he could Hee no further, and . he is caught and brought over the long 1 4 sea and up the broad river to this city of! his crime, and he is here to be tried. Now j ! this, Mr. Merrick says, was the flight of; < an innocent. Hoes it look to the jury I j like the flight of an innocent man? It is a mystery that an innocent man should 1 thus flee, and the mystery must be in- j quired into. Speaking of Mrs. Surratt, who was in- i troduced by the defence as a murdered I woman, he submitted the following epi-! i tome of facts : ; : But now we come to an extraordinary i j witness in this case, John M. Lloyd, who!, testified in the most unwilling manner. Mr. Bradley had said he believed IJoyd ; was in the conspiracy, and he had said he!' was a drunkard. There is no doubt but! i that he did drink, but lie was not drunk \, when he was on the stand, nor was lit drunk when the detectives went by the' : morning after the murder. He kepi thcj' tavern tor Mrs. Surratt, and was a most - unwilling witness, and Mr. Bradley was t no doubt correct when he said Lloyd was . one ot the conspirators. He was just the 1 man to engage in such a conspiracy, ami just the man to assist at the assassination, a He was no doubt in the conspiracy. But <. that, Mr. Pierrepont contended, did not j' make him the less truthful, nor did it give!' less importance to his testimony, for it was given too unwillingly, as the jury will t remember. [John M. Lloyd's testimony ( was here read.] In commenting upon . Lloyd's testimony, Mr. Pierrepont reiter-i ated the remark that he believed Mr.! Bradley stated truly when he said Lloyd! knew all about the conspiracy. WhenU Surratt put the arms in his keeping, lu knew that there was mischief. He knew 1 enough to make him guilty, and to make " him liable. This witness says he met j d Mrs. Surratt on the Tuesday before the I assassination, and he says she told him that the shooting irons were wanted that i v night. How did Mrs. Surratt know that | her son had secreted the shooting irons in that secret room behind the joists of the f house.' \V hy did Lloyd speak of bury- | ing the shooting irons? He spoke of "it - as one would speak of burying a murder-! 1 ed corpse. Again Mrs. Surratt visited !' Lloyd at Surrattsville on April 14, the;a day of assassination, and she handed liitn le a package, which has been traced and proven to be a neldglass. Mrs. Surratt: also tells Lloyd to have thegnns ready and a two bottles of whisky, and give them to whoever should call for them that night. What will you do with this testimony, gen- Hemes of the jury ? Will you discard it ? ' If so, you will no doubt tell your fellow citizens why when you come out. What j a was expected to be done that night, that 11 the guns and whisky would be needed? j TheasSassinationoecurredat 10o'cloek,and at twelve Harold was at Lloyd's, and the v jury will remember how reluctant Lloyd 0 was to tell that Booth was with Harold.! o Harold was impatient, and demanded in ; j haste the whisky and the guns, and Lloyd strove all the time to keep Booth separated from Harold. The jury will remember a the struggle to get from this witness who t Harold's companion was. It will be re- a meuibered, too, how he persisted in not j answering the question as to when he j first heard of the assassination until the | Court compelled him to answer, and then j he drawled out that he heard it that night.! . He does not remember who told him, but! ' he thought it was the man who had the: b broken leg who said the President was; assassinated. i° During the epidemic of intermit- S tents in the West this season, the whole ' immense stock of Ayer's Ague Cure be- $ came exhausted, and the producing power of his Laboratory was found inadequate to I ° meet the demand. Many who knew its ! extraordinary virtues for the cure of chills: and fever, paid oxorbitant prices for it to! *■ those who were fortunate enough to have a supply on hand. Some of our neigh-! bors paid ten dollars for a bottle, while H? the regular price is but one, and assures it ' was on the whole the cheapest remedy j ' f they could buy, even at that figure. They j J] praise it for two qualities: first, that it j k . cures, and last that it leaves the health j ( . unimpiared. — Jowa Standard. \ tJ Tennessee gives Brownlow over 30,000 > majority for Governor, and elects the en- tire Republican delegation to Congress. |ii Perry county yields the Senator to the remainder of the district. fi liOCAL AFFAIRS. Bishop Stevens, of the Episcopal church, preached to a large congregation on Sun , day evening last, from Hebrews XII, 1.2. - young clergyman accompanied him, and preached a trial sermon in the rnoru ' ing. Harry Slagle sent us a cucumber 11| inches long and 9£ in circumference. Rev. Samuel Ortwill preach in the Lu theran Church, on Sabbath morning, Au gust 11th, at eleven o'clock. Nicholas llnrtzler brought a stock of common small clover, measuring 4 feet 5 inches. If any of our readers have longer ones they can leave us know it. Persons fond of delicacies will be happy to learn that Grove is making prepara tions for a grand feast on Saturday evening next, when he intends having Frozen j Custard, Ice Cream and Lemon Ice, with : his usual variety of Cakes. Give him one I or more calls, especially the more. Rev, Mr. Ort will preach in the Prcs b3'terian church next Sabbath evening. Granville Lodge of Good Templars held a picnic near Granville Station, on Saturday last, at which Jiev. Kirhy j delivered an address, and the McVey. town Brass Band and Granville Glee Club furnished music It was well at tended by members of different lodges. The cause is advancing in that locality. Lampligliting.—Our people were a good deal astonished on Sunday evening to sec the moon shining brightly and the street lamps lit. This is said to be according to "orders." It seems to us lamplighting j could be reduced to a very simple process, | especially at this time of year, and that ; is, to light only on cloudy evenings wi h out regard to the moon. This would give light when wanted, and would be far more ! satisfactory to our citizens than the sys ! teni which lights the lamps on light, clear and pleasant evenings, and leaves us in Plutonian darkness on cloudy and rainy nights, because forsooth the moon hap pens to be shining somewhere behind the clouds where nobody can see it. Croquet.—This game lias become quitea favorite with certain classes, and occa sionally causes no little discussion. The billiard player alleges that if he is wrong, so is the croquet player, for, says he, there is essentially no more difference between the two than there is between tweedle dum ami tweddledee. "But," says cro quet, "we only play for amusement and pastime." "So do we," says billiard. — "We don't play for money," says croquet. "Nor do we," says billiard, and so on, ad infinitum. We don't play either, and . shall therefore leave it to others to split the hairs necessary to separate one from the other. Accidents.—Sheriff Wm. T. McEwen ; met with a severe accident on Tuesday of last week, while up the river with a horse and buggy. The horse started to run, and the lines proving to be worthless, lie) jumped out, and getting in front of the wheel it struck him between the knee and ancle, badly shattering the hone. He cal led lor assistance to some men at work for Mr. Caldwell, in the meantime himself! replacing the bones as well as he could, and was conveyed to a house, where Dr. T. Howard Van Valzah was called in to >et them, after which he was conveyed to town. He is doing well, but will proba bly be confined for some time. A hoy named Culhertson was kicked by a horse on Sunday morning, knocking off j a piece of bone from the third joint of his little finger. Flora Swann fell from the landing of the stairway in the Lutheran parsonage i on Saturday, cutting her lip and chin badly, and breaking one of her teeth. Tail Rye.—Charles Bratton, jr., of But ton township, brought us two stalks of j rye, one measuring 8 feet G inches, the other 8 feet. This beats anything yet pro duced in the county. Mr. B. has our thanks for a quantity of very nice honey left at our office. Finger Ring 3. —Have you a dear lady friend, a sweetheart, or a wife t Present tier with a line, gofil ring.

Junkin, and purchase a ring of the best quality, or any other j article iu his line. Sad Case of Drowning.—On the 20th July an interesting daughter of Wm. Davis, ! i lock-tender at the 3 Locks, seven miles above this place, was drowned in one of the locks. She was in the habit of assist ing in opening and closing the gates, and whilst in the act of crossing over on top of a gate, her dress (it is supposed) caught on a wicket handle, precipitating her into the water below. A companion who heard the plunge, immediately ran for j assistance, but before she was taken from ! the water life was extinct. Her age was about 13 years. — Democrat.
