We are glad to learn (.hat there is an end
at last to all the Lcgisliitivo troubles at
" Tlarrlsburg, and to the Kcpubllcans belongs
' the credit for it. After Ions debate on
Tuesday in the Senalo M..BilHugfclt in
troduce'd a resolution providing for the ap
pointincnt of a committee of three Senators
to meet a House committee of the same
number, to consider tho propriety of modi
fying the lection laws of Philadelphia so as
to gl"o to each "party a proper rcgrescnta'
tion in the Board of Election Officers, and
to recommend such changes in tho law as
may be deemed just and equitable to all
iwrlics, and to report without delay by bill
or otherwise.
This resolution was passed and sent to
the llousc, where a. discussion had also
been had on the same subject, and where
it was referred to a special committee of
three, consisting of Messrs. Strang Josephs
and Johuston. This committee reported a
scries of resolutions, reciting that while tho
House considered that it had pursued the
tisual and proper course in regard to the
appropriation bill, it was nevertheless pre'
pared to meet the Senate in an attempt to
reconcile their diflcrence, and ending with
an agreement to fix a time for adjournment
to take action on the appropriation bill, and
to appoint a committee to take into consid
eration the propriety of modifying tho
registry law of Philadelphia.
.These resolutions wcro immediately
adopted and sent to the Senate, and by
that body concurred in. A resolution was
then passed by the Senate adjourniug sine
die to day (Saturday) n t noon,and this again
was agreed to by" the House. Both houses
then appointed members of a joint com
mittee on tho amendments to the registry
law.
Vice President Colfax Stricken'
Down by Paralysis. A Washington
telegram announce that about 4 o'clock,
on Monday last, Mr. Colfax felt himself
growing faint, and called Mr. Poracroy to
tho chair, and as he arose to leave hip,
grew dizzy, and ho hail to be helped to his
room, where he lay down upon tho sofa
and sent for a physician, by whom it was
at once pronounced paralysis. He soon
became insensible, and his pulse ran down
to forty, and his face grew white as marble.
Dr. Bliss, his family physician, arrived and
commauccd to treat hiiu for vertigo, and
for four hours applied hot remedies, and
by various means endeavoring to draw tho
Wood from his head and prevent a conges
tion of tho brain. At nine P. M. he was
somewhat easier, aud his physicians think
that if they can preveut a rclapso ho will
recover. If he passes the night safely, it
will Do somQ tunc before he can regain his
health, as the shock he received ou Monday
was of great severity.
TiiEGraud Secretary of theGraud Lodgo
of Pennsylvania, I. O. O. F., in his annual
report, says tho membership of the order
has moro than doubled itself in seven years
Iu 1864 it was 39,013 : in 1870 it foots up
80,153. The number of lodges in opera
tion is 6G4, an increase of 03 during the past
year; aggregate number of members 89,153,
having increased 4,588 during 1870.
Firs at Lock Haves. On Sunday
afternoon last, a fire broke out in the largo
Steam Sawmill of Messrs. Young & Worth,
at Lock Haven, which consumed tho mill
together with a largo amount of lumber,
and several small buildings adjoining. The
lire is supposed to have been the work of
au incendiary. The Lock Haven Republi
can of Wednesday says :
"The mill was built iu the years of 18C7
C3, by Wm. L. Hawkins, nt an expense of
$75,000. Its machinery consisted of a
double cylinder 125-horso power engine,
three boilers, one slabbing gang, one flat
gnng, one mulny, lath aud picket mills, nnd
its averaso work per dav was 00.000 lbetof
lumber. During this season it gave, em
ployment to thirty-eight persons. The
will was only insured for 15,000.
Tho piling ground contained nearly 3,
000,000 feet of lumber, out of which ouly
about 150,000 feet was saved. About 400,
O00 feet of this lumber belonged to parlies
in Williamsport, ond ubout 100,000 feet to
Misers. W. A,Simjonand It. 1L Uridgeus

Resumption. The correspondent of tho
Philadelphia Evcnfiag 'Tdegraph of Satur
day last, has the following in regard to tho
resumption of operations in the Anthracite
coal region ; '
The resumption of operations in all tha
anthracite regions is daily becoming more
general. As predicted, tiie resumption of
one region necessarily carrica me oiuers
with it. The latest despatches report tho
coming to terms of tho Delaware, Lacka
wanna, ana western company s men, nu
at the last moment agreed to accept tho
company's terms and Tguominlously bring
up the rear. The Pennsylvania Coal
Company's men accepted the higher offer
of their employers earlier in the week, after
once rciectinir it- and this tavoraDie ncuou
was raiher unexpected. It is expected that
the whole upper region will Do in active
nncrnlion bv Mondnv next.
Tho men of that reirinn imist bv this
time see at least some httlo of the folly of
their course. After standing idlo and los
ins moucv for the best nurt of sixraonths,
they now resumo work, some having gain
ed a paltry advantage of live cents per ton
without even tho excuse of a principle up
held and obtained, while others have gain
ed absolutely nothinc. resuming at tho
terms offered when the striko was inaugu
rated, and being obliged to trust to their
employers for the hope even of some
thing better. Theso advantages are truly
something to fight and starvo for, and wo
admiro the men' foresight, which was so
over keen as to prevent them from seeing
that nothing better could bo obtained, and
so kept theui from accepting tho very sanio
terms weeks ago, when all parties were
already heartily tired of idleness.
In Schuylkill the resumption has become
practically general under the terms of the
umpire's decision, which they finally con
cluded to ask for, and which was given on
Wednesday last. Tho only exceptions to
tho general rule, wo believe, arc somo few
collieries near Tamnqua, and tho reason
that tho" men at these collieries voted
against resumption was that other collieries
in tho same region are working, and have
been for somo time, on tho three dollar
basis. Tho men hoped by so voting that
they also might obtain the better terms.
Ihu terms as laid down in the decision
of the umpire are not, however, satisfac
tory to all tho workmen. Sonic of them
think it unfair that they by this decision
now have to work at lower rates than those
which tha operators voluntarily offered to
them a short time ago. But they
snouiu remcmucr that these
terms tho miners deliberately refused, be-
i icuieiouur iiiub lucse operator's i
cause
they thought them loo low, andeom-
polled tho strike to continue, much to tho
loss and discomfort ot tho operators.
Tho tolls by the Heading Uailroad have
been materially reduced, though not as
much so as was expected, according to the
schedule published in our columns during
the week. The new rates were not pro
mulgated in time to take effect on Wed
nesday last, much to the disgXst of tho
operators who had numerous loaded cars
waiting at the mines to bo brought down
aud enable their owners to bo the first in
the market.
There has been a slight fear that tho
Schuylkill resumption is not bona fide, and
that an attempt will be made after somo
work is done to get better terms bv threat
ening another striko, tho men thinking tho
operators would rather accede to their de
mands than stop work again after onco
starting. There is, however, very little
ground for such fear. Tho men arc per
fectly starved out, aud do not want to slop
work agaiu for somo lime to come. The
selfish leaders may desire aud counsel Buch
action, but their power over tho men, at
least such a case as this, is gone, and it
will uot be regained very quickly. Then,
too, auother stoppage "will immediately

JSchuylkill at any very near date would so
disgust tlie owners ot the land, that num
erous coal properties would bo for salo at
very low terms. These would be immedi
ately bought up by the Reading Company,
for it only could work them. If one indi
vidual found it impossible to run them,
another would, -and tho company would
become tho purchaser. This has been tho
policy of the company for some time, as is
shown by tho largo advance in the value
of its stock whilo the road was almost idle.
Numerous coal lands havo already been
bought, according to the common report,
to bo owned and run by the company.

it is in Luzerne. Then the basis question

TIIE A OA MS EXPRESS ROBBERY.
A special tele cram of the 17th to a Cin
cinnati papor gives the following particu
lars ot tho recent heavy roo'jery at uoium
bus, Ohio: The robbery, early this morn
ing, ot the depot ollico here oi trie Adams
Express Company was oue of tho most
cleverly planned and successfully exented
achievements of the kind on record Tno
office is located in the most public corner
of tho old Union Depot, the only entrance
being from the outside platform where it is
most traversed by day or night. At a lit
tle after one o'clock this morning the train,
with Cleveland connection, life for Cincin
nati, and tbo two men, collier and Bradley,
who had charge of the office day and night.
lay down for a nap, expecting to awako to
receive the run by tho express train which
left Cincinnati at 9-45 last night, and which
leaves over the principal routes east from
hero at 2-25 A. M.
There were in the office two portable
safes of the company, containing valuable
packages for tho next run out: among others
one sent down from tho Fruirtillu National
Bank of this city early in tho evening,
containing 821.000, and consigned to the
paymaster of tho Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road. Tho keys of tho safes were in Brad
ley's pockets. Tho only fastening in Uie
doors was by a bolt sliding over from ono
door past the other, the first door being
braced inside at tlie bottom. It was pro
bably half-past 1 o'clock before tlie messen
gers were asleep, and between that time
and the arriving of Cincinnati train the
robbing was accomplished.
The train messenger found tho door open,
and the two men, Collier and Bradley, iu
a Btate of stupefaction from chloroform.
with which drug the air of tho room was
still loaded. A largo sponge lay near
Bradley's nostrils, nnd the two men were
only aroused by a great deal of shaking.
Tho keys wcro in the safe, and tho floors
strewed with mutilated remains of pack
ages, which had been plundered. Somo
packages had been carried offentiic.
As the way bills are missing in many
cases, it is impossible to state with any
degrco of certainly what amout was realiz
ed oy tho thieves, of whom it is unlikely
there were less thnn two or three. Tho
estimate of 800,000 is believed by tho of
ficers of the company here to cover the
outside figures. Where it has gono seems
to bo so completely covered as to give no
chance for conjecture.
Mr. Weir, sgent of the company at Cin
cinnati, arrived from Cincinnati to-day, and
Mr. Gorton who was in Pittsburg this fore
noon, got homo this evening, and have
commenced a thorough investigation into
tho circumstances attending the robbery.
The men have been somewhat afflicted all
day by their enforced sleep, which, had
the doors of tho room not been left par
tially open by the robbers, might have
proved fatal.
Collier has been in the service of the com
pany about seven years, and Bradley over
a year. They were in charge of the depot
otiiee day ami night, taking their sleep
there as they could catch it.
