Tns Minehs and tiTe Late Stkikb,
Now that the miners have resumed work
again in the mines, it would bo well if the
men engaged In 'the late strike would ex
amine how and "where they were benefitted.
While our sympathies lie with tho laboring
. classes, and we are willing at all times to
elevate labor, we could not sco the policy
or benefit that would accrue from their
course taken within tho last six months,
as we were convinced that tho striken in
, dulged in wore ill-advised, imprudent, im
practicable, and when reviewed from any
tenable grounds of political economy, fear
fully suicidal. As soon as labor and capi
tal como into direct conflict, tho suffering
of tho former is ever of a fatal character.
The man who solely depends on the efforts
of his hands for support, and has no other
resource, is surely not in a condition to
come in collision with mon whoso wealth
is limitless. A good eoldier rather retreats
and keeps retreating than engago a superior
force at a disadvantage. It is only the
rash and impetuous, setking personal glory,
who are re-ady to lead in such attacks, in
different as to who suffer so that they make
their point of power. So willi a majority
of the strikes into which mechanics and
laboring men are too frequently shoved. A
few domagogucs and mischief makers, al
ways alert for agitation, foment strifo in a
Cold or a shop, and by reason of their 2er-
onal UifllculU'S with employers involve
entire trades in trouble, and lead a strike
half the tuno for no other purposo than to
nvengo n personal insult. Now that those
engaged in tho strikes have time for reflec
tion, and to look over the field calmly and
take into consideration tho time lost aud
the money misspent, the suffering of fami
lies, tliey will at once admit that they
would bo better off, in more comfortable
circumstances to-day, had they not bus-
(ended operations and allowed themselves
to bo led away by a few designing men,
who were livingoff the little they possessed,
and which they required of them to pay
their expenses. It will take several years
to recover their lost ground in credit, and
to pay their debts. Tho leaders of theso
strikes aro nothing but intriguers and
schemers, who have no regard for tho wcl-
lare of their fellow workmen, and who aro
always willing to urge them on as long as
a hard earned dollar can be had, regardless
of the results, only so that they can bo
feasting and indulge in riotous living and
debauchery. This has been the result iu
the late strike, and the suffering by those
who were led on will bo felt for several
years to como. We liopo that tho lesson
may bo a salutary one.
County Finances. Wc some time ago
stated that the editors of two papers had
been consulted to defend tho King as to
that SM.OOO tax We notice tho Gazette of
lust week has taken up the subject, and is
endeavoring to exculpate the Ring from
extravagance iu the county affairs, which
articlo was very readily adopted in the
Korthumberland County Democrat the same
week, even using the type of tho other, and
prefaced by comments by tho editor of that
sheet. Tho editor of tho Gazette certainly
must havo un objoct in view or else he
would not presumo tho figures of "Tax
l'aycr," a correspondent of the Democrat,
to oc coircot. If ho thought we wcro wrong,
nuuiu imvo txiown wiierein wo were
mistaken. Ihit wo find him trying to place
us altogether in a differcut light from tho
position we have taken. He avoided to
btato to his readers what amount of taxes
were in tho hands of tho Rim?, so.ofcmirsr.

TnE Senate of the United States ad
Journed on Saturday last, after having per
formed tho work for which it was called to
gether, by ratifying tho treaty of Washing
ton without amendment. Tho treaty
provides for tho appointment of three dif
ferent commissions, and possibly of four,
Tho first of these is the so-called Tribunal
of Arbitration. Its function is to deal with
the Alabama claims, and it has five mem
bcrs. One of them is to bo. appointed by
tho President, one by Queen Victoria, one
by tho King of Italy, ono by tho President
of Switzerland, and ono by tho Emperor of
Brazil. This tribunal is to inert at Geneva
within two months after the ratification of
tho treaty J and eight months are assigned
for tho preparation and argument of the
cases cn each side. Bat the time within
which tho award must bo made is not limi
ted. This award may be of a sum in gross
to bo paid by Great Britain ; but if the
tribunal docs not make such an award, a
Board of Assessors is to bo appointed to
act upon each individual claim for dama
cos. One member of this Board of Asses
sors is to bo appointed by tho President,
ono by tbe Queen, aud ono by tho Italian
Minister at Washington. It is to sit in
Washington, New York, or Boston ; but
tho time of its meeting and the duration of
its sessions are not fixed.
Tho second Commission is that to settle
Amcricanlaims against England, and the
claims of British subjects against tho Uni
ted States, arising out of acts against per
sons or property committed between April
13, 1801, and April 9, 18C5, exclusive of
the acts of Confederate cruisors. Ono of
tho members of this Commission is to bo
appointed by die President, ono by tho
Queen, and a. third by tho President and
Queen conjointly. They are to meet at
Washington, but tho time of their meeting
is not determined.
A Commission is also to bo appointed
upon the fisheries, consisting of three mein-
bcrs, ono named by tho President, ono by
the Queen, and tho third by the President
and Queen conjointly. This Commission
Will sit at Halifax, but nothing is prcscri
bed iu tho treaty respecting tho date of its
appointment, and meeting or the period of
its labors.
among the resolutions passed by the
Democratic State Convention at Ilarrisburg
on Wednesday of lost week, aro several
which are intended to hoodwink voters,but
as they are contrary to tho acts and princi
pies of tho Democracy, they excite but
ridicule aud contempt. One of the resolu
tions declares in favor of reducing tho in
teres t on the public debt, in tho face of tho
well-known fact that when tho bill was be
fore Congress to refund the debt at a lower
rate of interest, tho Democratic members
opposed and voted "against it.
On tho Tariff question tho following in
famously cool resolution was passed :
licsolved. That the nrcsent tariff is. in
many of its features, oppressive, anil should
be revised, and that wo herewith renucst
our Representatives in Congress, when the
tarui snail Do the subject of readjustment,
to see that tho immenso product a of thn
Stale and its industries aro properly cared
for.
It is well known that when tho supple
mentary tariff bill, a protective measuro
was beforo Congress, only four Democratic
members voted for it. The Democratic
party of the nation is Free Trado and tho
people know it. And when tho Democracy
of Pennsylvania has tho supremo impu
dence to pass a resolution like tho above it
is simply for buncombe. They know as
well as we do, that it has been tho passage
ot just such resolutions that has damaged
Pennsylvania with other sections that need
protection for their interests as much as
she docs aud has in fact arrayed almost
the entire couulry agniust claims which
aro made in the manner as above, for pro
taction to her important products. Even
if tho Democracy wcro honest in passing
such resolutions, which they aro not, it is
a blunder, for it defeats tho very object
which it professes to want. Tho whole
platform is of the same character, and will
fail from its very transparency to cntch a
single vote. Tho Democracy of this State
are indeed very dead as a party.
Thk Wau in France. By reference
to the Foreign news in another colum, it
will bo seen that tho lighting iu Puris be
tween tho govtruiutut troops and tho in
surgents is about to termiuiito. Tho loss
of life and properly is probably without a
parallel iu history. The haudsomo city of
1 aris onco tho centre of guilty pleasure,
where galhcrvO tho votaries ot vice, where
religion was ridiculed us a dream, where
the domestic tio was treated as a farce,
where vli luo was made a mockery ; aud nil
thisdonu iu tho uuiuoof civilizatioii-Puris,
once so brilliant, guy and happy, Is now a
pandemonium, a hell on eurth, where how
ling outrage takes posacaKm of imlaco and
hut, and blood utruaius in torrents throuuli
all Its avtiims. The scolt r aud tho de
bat lu vho made J'arts what she wiw, are
lo-day the authors of what who la. Htald and
religious lovlun litriuiiny, although the
victor over Frauce, too valorous aud
virtuous to make a h.mluijl wildi-rucM of
Puris.

ANOTHER AVON DALE DISASTER.
Pittston, May 28. About two o'clock
yesterday afternoon, a fire broke out in the
coal shaft of Ulako x Company .West Pitts
ton, In the top roller, caused by friction.
In less than two hours tho wholo shaft had
been destroyed. Thcro wero sixty men at
tho bottom of tho shaft, but by tho good
management and courage of tho engineer,
all wcro got out but thirty-seven. IIo let
tho carriago down five times, but the last
three times it camo up empty. It is sup
posed' they did not understand tho signals.
The engineer worked till ho was so badly
burned that he had to leave his post.
- The excitement all last night continued
intense. At 12$ o'clock, a car, which had
been rigged up, reached the bottom. At 1
o'clock the. first man came up alive: tho
next two that were brought up, were dead.
Tbe car continued making tho trip up and
down the mine, as faM -as men could bo
found to go up and down, until 1 o'clock
this afternoon, when the lost man was
brought. Although sixteen who had been
brought up ahead of him wero dead, tho
last ono was living.
Thcro wcro thirty-seven mon left in tho
mine, and all havo been brought out.
Twenty-ono of them were brought up alive
and sixteen dead. It is thought that tho
deaths wero caused by suffocation, although
some assert that two or three of them were
drowned. The men were found in tho ex
treme western portion of tho mino ns far
back as they could get Their sullcring
must have been terrible.
Mr. VVm. Abbott, ono of tho Pennsyl
vania coal company's men, says that when
ho went down in tho mine this morning,
he found that tho water was but three or
four feet deep, but the air was so bad that
it was only by tho most strenuous exer
tions that he was ablo to retain strength
sufficient to get tho men out. lie had two
assistants, who wcro almost uuablo to aid
him in tho least.
The people horo. whilo sorrowinff for the
dead, cannot help giving vent to feelings of
inanKiumess that so many were saved.
One of tho men that has recovered since
gives tho following: AVe discovered tho
mino to be on fire about 8.30, that is about
half an hour after fire broke out Wo im
mediately built a barricade, and got behind
it, when we mado a prayer and siing a
hymn, and then waited for our fate. I can
remember nothing that occurred after 0
o'clock. Out of those brought up alive,
two havo died this evening. An inquest
will 1)6 held to-morrow morning at 0
o'clock.
The funerals of the dead will take place
ou Monday and Tuesday. There has been
at least twelve thousand visitors nt the
scene of the disaster to-day,and the excite
ment has been very great all day.
During tho day, jicople from Wilkesbar
rc,s Plyinonlh, Scrautou, Carbondalo and
all the surrounding towns and villages,
have visited tho sceno of disaster, and it is
thought the total number of visitors has
not been less than 10,000 or 12,000.
It is thought several of those who wero
brought out alive cannot live, but all is be
ing done for them that is possible, for any
humairbcing to do. At tho churches nnd
Sunday schools to-day tho attendance was
so meagre that the regular order of de
votional exercises was not attempted.
Tho feelings of tho community can better
be imagined than described, nnd now that
all anxiety for those in the mine is past,
every ono seems to bo looking to tho wel
fare of those living, ycteo near death.
The Xomixation. Both parties nrc
now iu the field with their candidates, and
it is for the people to dctcrmino the rela
tive merits of the gentlemen selected. They
are all military men gentlemen who serv
ed in or through the war, we believe with
credit to themselves. We are satisfied that
the war record of tho Itepublican candi
dates will bo found, upon examination, to
no unexceptionable; ana at this early stane !
of tho campaign we aro not disposed to
look up defecu, if such thero be, in the re- !
cords of our lXmocratio opponeuts. Wei
are satisfied to leave tho questions of pat- !
riotisni nnd competency to the decision of I
i I no voters oi 1 onilKylvania. If tho candi-
i date of the respective panics nrecnualin
, these respects, then the question of politics
I win lux-mo uio mirier, -i no unnuimi
; ty of the Itepublican press of the Slate in
endorsing tne nominations of Dr. ."Stanton
and Lol. Jkath is ns good evidence as W0
: require at present of the certainty of their
.. ...n .......viiim ouiH.Tioriiy oi too ltcpuu-
lienn party in lllO Mate or Hint United they
will win. The I kMllocratic press and lWWty
will have a rouh road to travel in tiiig
contest, even adinittiug their candidate to
ue men 01 lair intcilifjenco nnd cliaracter;
nnd what cannot fail to lxs a damper upon
tlu'iii is the certainty of defeat which they
must sustain in spite of their utmost exer
tions to achieve a victory. lhtrrisbury
