It was John Flm-nix we believe
who succeeded in conquering an irate
and combative editor, by Inserting
his nose in the mouth of his foe, and
thus holding hira down. A rimilar
ly astute feat is being performed by
the Southern Republicans who are
abandoning their organizations, for
the purpose of distracting and divi
ding the enemy. At least that is the
effect predicted by tbe gushiogscribes
who do op the politics of the country
from a Washington stand point. '
A Little" while ago very many
Republican papers professed to re
gard tbe civil service policy of tbe
administration with favor which are
now retracing their steps, evidently
frightened at the developments which
an exposition of the new system is
daily working. It is right tbe policy
adopted should be tested in all re
spects. There is nothing which heips
so much to secure the repeal ot a de
fective or an odious law as its stern
enforcement. We hope to see the
President's policy carried out to its
fullest extent. That will not ouly
Lave a happy effect on all his friends,
but it will also affect the President
in the right manner. llarrixhurg

Here is a precisely similar condition of
affairs. ' The law is defied, the public

The local civil authorities are unable to
restore order. The aid of the stale militia
is invoked, but the soldiers fraternize with
the law-breakers and refuse to obey the or

The surrender of Louibiana : and

without the support of the Federal

In North Carolina malicious mils

United States allow officers to re
move such suits to tbe Federal Courts
for trial, bat Judges of the State
Courts have directed their clerks not
to obey writs of certiorari issuing
from the Federal Courts. The ques
tion of removal was finally carried to
the Supreme Court of the State.
Governor Vance employed eminent
counsel, to assist the Attorney Gen
eral of the State, in resisting tbe re
moval of such cases to the Federal
courts. The ease was ably argued
and the court has now decided to
sustain tie right of removal, and the
right of United States officers to be
tried in Federal courts. Thus the
efforts to prevent the collection of

"President Haves does not now ex
pect the election of a Republican
while persons near him think .there
ought to be a sufficient appreciation
of bis course in regard to tbe South
to induce Southern members to sup
port ' an independent candidate

A Malemrat from the Old
lame'' Himself.
Si'Mt time since, as our readers will
remember, "Old Ren Wade" in very
emphatic, if hot very choice language
proclaimed his 'dissent ""from the
President's Southern policy.' Shortly
afterwards, it was announced on
"reliable authority" ' that the "old
war horse" had ameliorated hia viewa
and become reconciled to the policy
aforesaid, and great was tbe beating
of Tom-toms, by the Independent
press, over the gratifying announce
ment. . Bat now it . turns oat. that
the. "reliable authority," was'nt so
reliable after all, and that ' tbe old
eodjer has not been converted. 01
course, - the scribe who were eo
delighted over hia supposed change of,
heart, will aot be tbe least bit discon
oneerted, but will swear that it
"don't make a darned bit of differ
ence" what he thinks anyhow.

by reliable authority, that Ben. H ade
bad become reconciled to the Presi
dent's policv. . This has called forth
a letter f-om tbe ex-Senator to the
l.'fjiblii an, in which he says: "While
1 am now, as ever, as a Republican,
anxious for the success of that party,
belli vmg Ibat it has done more to
sustain ttr rights of man and pro
mote the principles of a just govern
ment than any political organization
of which we have an account, I can
not permit my sentiments to be mis
represented. Now, I should like to
know who, or what, is your .'reliable
authority' for tbe above statement?
Certainly I have authorized' no. one
to make Buch a statement, or any
other. " Sinco my letter to Mr. Paint
er, which wa? surreptitiously" publish
ed, I have written to no one upon the
President's policy, and, have spoken
to very few persons upon tbe subject,
and tben always in defense of the sen
timents or that letter, which few
hereabouts oppose. I regret to say
that all that has since . transpired in
the South, and in the North, bas but
confirmed me in the correctness of
the sentiments expressed in that, let
ter. I will add that I greatly fear
this policy, under the color of what
ia called 'Local Self-government,' is
but an ignominious surrender of the
principles of nationality for which
our armies fought, and for which
thousands upon thousands of brave
men died, and .without which tbe
war was a failure . and, our boasted
Government a myth." ' '

. About one o'clock tbe first section
of the militaT train from Pbiladel
phia arrived at the Union Depot, and
about two o cioca anomer train or
rived, brintrinir in a force of about
six hundred men, in addition to tbe
PitUburch troops already quartered
at the outer: depot. The . news of
their arrival, and tbe intelligence that
they would be used in forcing tbe
strikers to Abandon, tbe track and
property of the company, caused an
intense increase of . excitement.
Crowds of people took their way to
the scene of action, thousands with
tbe intention of witnessing the scene
from tbe heights above, and many
doubtless with the hope of aiding
and abetting in any outbreak which
miebt result. It was the general
hope, however, that the military force
would prove sutlicient to overcome
the strikers and prevent any serious
trouble. , ,
On Saturday afternoon Judge
lowing issued a number cf warrants
for tbe arrest or some ol the leading
strikers,, which were placed in the
hands of Sheriff I lie, who swore in
seventeen deputies and started with
bis force at the head of tbe military
forces to disperse the mob and arrest
the ringleaders at tbe outer -depot.
After consultation between the rail
war officials and officers in command
of tbe military, it was decided to use
the Philadelphia troops in clearing
tbe track while tbe t ourtecntn ana
Nineteenth regiments were to be
drawn up in support. It was doubt
ed whether the Pittsburgh troops
could be brought to Ere on their
friends and relatives in tbe crowd,
should an emergency arise in which
that measure should be called for,
and at all events it was decided not
to submit tbem to that terrible ordeal.
About five o'clock tbe Philadelphia
troops formed in line with the two
wings fused thus forming three sides
of a hollow square. In this form tbe
three companies above named moved
forward with uxed bayonets, slowly
and steadily driving back tbe crowd
from tbe tracks up toward the cross
ing of Twenty-eighth street. This
move added fuel to the dame of ex
citement which lashed the crowd in
to fury, but steadily the troops work
ed tbem back until, as mobs generally
begin, some one in tbe rear com
menced throwing stones. Some ac
counts also state that a shot was fired
from tbe mob into the troops, but
this is contradicted by tbe statement
that this was not done until after the
troops had fired. Statements also
con diet as to whether any order was
given to fire or BOt, it is certain that
at this juncture the troops commenced
firing. The first shots went up tbe
hill and took effect among tbe spec
tators and on tbe Pittsburgh troops
drawn up in line on the ground abjve.
Other shots were fired into the crowd
in front and others to the left down
Twenty-eighth street
Tbe casulties caused by tbe firing
at this point.swells up into a large
list. About twenty people were
killed and thirty wounded among tbe
crowd on tbe hill, along the railway
tracks and on Twenty-eighth street
The firing produced an immediate
panic among the crowd, and it scat
tered in all directions. Tbe scene at
this juncture was fearfuL Wounded
men, women and children were picked
up and taken awar, people ran to
and fro inquiring for lost relatives
and friends, and the crowd, vowing
vengeance, started in various direc
lions to beat up recruits, obtain arms
and return for the revenge which
ibey subsequently took.
A 6bort but compreneca.ve story of
the fight was given to a representa
tive of tbe Vommervial-Gazetle by
Major Lazarus, of Gen. Brimon's
staff, as follows:
"Tbe Wacaco Legion, -Washington
Greys and Keystone Battery were
ordered op to clear the track at tbe
Twenty-eighth street crossing. Tbev
were directed to use their bayonets,
not with the points rut the tiats, so
as to work tbe crowd back without
injuring tbem. While this was be
ing done, whether according to orders
or not I cannot be sure, a cry was
raised in tbe crowd . that some . one
had been wounded br a bayonet
Following the cry almost instantane
ously, came a shower of atones from
tbe diiection of tbe hillside by which
several of tbe troops were atonned.
As soon aa tbe men who were struck
br the atones recovered from the
shock they commenced firing with
out orders ia self defense, and tbe
first ebots went up tbe hillside for the
reason that tbe stones came from
that direction, and the bring was
continued until tbe order came to
stop it Tbe rest of the troops then
came up to the support of the three
advanced companies and tbe erossiog
was held until evening when tbe
troops took up their position ia tbe
lower round house.
.Major Lazarus is very positive
that ne orders were given to fire, ex
cept such as may have been caused
by an outcry for that purpose by
the troops themselves. . .
While tbe crowd was momentari
ly panic-struck and scattered by this
calamity, its real effect was to inflame
the passion of tbe strikers and their
friends to tbe highest piu h of frenzy.
From this hour out tbe reign of mob
law in this city . was inaugurated.
The streets were at once thronged
with crowds of excited men, denounc
ing tbe railway officials and soldiery
in most unmeasured terms, and
threatening tbem with a fearful re
venge. . For tbe next six hours it
seemed as if the working men of
Pittsburgh were maddened with rage
and grief. The most reckless and in
cendiary sentiments were expressed
on the streets, and doubtless such ex
pressions from men of standing, who
should bare known better, did much
Tbe first move of the rioters was to
obtain arms. With a singular and
almost criminal lack of foresight tbe
armories of tbe various city military
organizations had been left unguard
ed with a considerable amount of
guaainthem. A party of men at
once started up Penn Avenue to tbe
Forty-third street armory, where
about thirty muskets, belonging to'
Company I, Fourteenth Regiment,
were secured. With these arms the
party marched down tbe avenue to
tbe tap of a drum. Other gangs
formed down town for the same pur
pose. Tbe armory of K n app's battery,
on Marion avenue, Allegheny, was
broken into early in tbe evening, the
W0sket8selzedr Subsequently the
men went back and remounted some
of the guns and took them op to the
scene of action at the outer depot
Hutchison's Battery aa also broken
into, aend the : armory at Old City
Hall waa served in like Banner.
,. Bv this time the lower part of tbe
city was filled by immense gang of
booting, yelling notoM, who'seeraea
animated by the worst spirit, and
ottered the most leartul threats oi
murder aid incendiarism. Along
Smilhfield and Wood streets tbe gun
stores and bawn broker shops were
a -w"
broken into and gutted. ' J as. uowen
& Co's store waa thoroughly cleaned
out It waa so also at J. a. John
ston's, on Sniithfield street, and ' H.
Schultz'8 establishment on Liberty
street was as thoroughly swept out of
iroods ait taourb -there had never
been a store there. Adding to their
arms thus obtained tbe a lore of re
volvers obtained at half a dozen
pawn-broker abops, the rioters com
menced to move ia irregular parties
toward the outer depot They were
reinforced early in tbe evening by a
detachment of about five hundred
men from the South Side who had
made baste to join their cause tot bar
of tbe rioters for the purpose of aveng
ing real or fancied grievances of their
men, upon society. ' ' "' '
Up to this time the prosecution of
vigorous measures by tbe authorties
at the outer depot would have resul
ted in clearing the streets and restor
ing quiet ' The mob was wholly dis
organized, easily panie struck and
like'y to break into confusion and eeek
shelter on tbe most firial causes.
Half a dozen times in tbe course of a
fciugle hour, tbe appearance of a sol
dier at tbe window of the railway
buildings, the breaking down : of a
fer.ee or the firing of a pistol snot
would cause a stampede, which show
ed bow easily a determined sortie on
the part of the troops would have
cleared the streets and preserved or
der. 1 n- :
After eleven o'clock, however, a
sort of irregular organization was es
tablished by tbe rioters. ' Tbe gangs
which bad procured arms in di Cerent
portions of the city, began to arrive
and were posted for action. The
entire district from 1 wentietn to
Thirtieth streets wa placed under
patrol, and armed parties were pos
ted at different points for attack on
the position of tbe troops. - -
From this time ont desultory at
tacks were made upon - the railway
shops by firing from tbe streets, call
ing out an occasional response from
tbe besieged troops. Late in tbe
night a cannon was brought up and
opened fire on tbe lower round bouse,
causing a breach of the walls. A
volley from tbe troops stampeded
the rioteis ana causel tbe desertion
of tbe cannon, but the military did
not take advantage of this retreat,
and tbe mob returned to tbe cannon
and resumed fire.
As the wcrk of dislodging tbe
troops did not progress fast enough
tbe rioters turned to tbe use of the el
ement to which moos are most prone
and which is most devastating in its
effects fire. A train of loaded oil
cars was found standing on the track
near Thirty -third street To set fire
to tbe cars and send them down in
to the yard and against tbe railway
building blazing most fiercely and
scattering tbe wildest destruction
was but the work of a short time.
From this time the work of whole
sale arson and devastation commen
ced, the particulars of which as well
as tbe account of tbe dislodging of
tbe troops from tbe rouud-bouse will
be found in fuil hereafter.
At eleven o'clock Saturday night
tbe mob resorted to incendiary ism,
which, in point of malicious and wan
ton destruction of property, has nev
er been equaled in the United States,
or perhaps in any other country. ' In
order to dislodge the troops who- bad
taken refuge in tbe "old round house,"
a car was switched on to tbe track
running past tbe bnilding, filled with
combustible material, and tbe match
applied. The flames shot up with a
lurid glars, lighting up the yards and
streets for several squares. When
tbe fire in tbe car was well under
way it was started down tbe track
Tbe soldiers after leaving their first
quarters took . refuge in the upper
Round House, and the mob deter
mined to dislodge tbem from their
last position by fire, and consequent
ly the torch was appled to the upper
Hound House, but before it ignited
tbe troops had abandoned it and were
hastily retreating in tbo direction of
tbo Arsenal, in Lawreneovillel '
By three o'clock in tbe afternoon
tbe fire had approached dangerously
close to tbe Union Depot ' The mob
seemed to grow impatient in their
guns dismounted and jajiumber jpf i desire Jfor the destruction of this
structure, and burning cars were ran
in to harry on its destruction.' Al
most simultaneously the flames from
some burning passenger cars : com
municated to the sheds on the south-
side of the platform, and the a.sera
bled multitude saw at a glance that

tor tbe reason that tbe burning car

tbe latter. Not disbearted at the first
failure, a second effort was made
which was more successful. Anoth

destruction. Standing between the

department responded promptly, but
were prevented by the mob from go

Baltimore, July 17. Since th
displacement of the switch at the gas
house this morning nothing of a ser
ious character has occurred at any of
the stations or on the tracks of the
railroad within the city limits or vic
inity. Tbe freight trains have not
left Baltimore to-day and probably
will not move until the blockade at
Maniasburg is removed. The stiike
is said to ba confined to firemen and
brakemen. No engineers, conductors
or other employees so far have taken
part in it east of tbe Ohio river. The
road bas abjut four hundred firemen,
three times that number of brakemen
say 1,200 of tbii number. The fire
men and brakenen in baltimore and
at Martinsburg only are engaged in
tbe strike. While quiet prevails in
tbe city the wildest rumors are afloat
of a general strike this afternoon. -
From Martinsburg tbe latest- dis
patches state that the strikers have
absolute control of everything. Tbu
military, under command of Col.
aulkoer, sympathizing with the
strikers, have been withdrawn. No
freight trains are permitted to pass
east or west, but passenger trains are
not molested and are running on time
east and west to-day.
Baltimore, July 17. A special to
the L inning Xttc from Martinsburg,
West irgima, dated 12:30 p. m. says
tbe rioters are still firm and determin
ed and tbe presence of tbe military
only serves to exasperate them. The
town is wild with excitement and the
strikers and their friends, numbering
fully one thousand men, are marching
about bidding defiance to tbe military
and the authorities. Some seventy
five or eighty engines are congregated
here, and none are allowed to depart.
A committee from the striking fire
men have notified the engineers that
iu case anr engineer shall attempt to
take a train out of town he will be
immediately shot. At noon a cattle
attempted
to start, whereupon the rioters flock
ed on board and with drawn revolv-
of the Holbrooks, and tben told him

tions is likely to work itself out Tbe
Sheriff and tbe courts dare not incur
the enmity of either party by an at
tempt to enforce justice, and so the
law continues to be defied. The en
tire Holbrook party under arrest for
the shooting of the Underwoods were
tried yesterday at Upper Tygart and
acquitted. Tbe father of the Under
woods, wbo was one of the party tak
en by the military in tbe log fort, bas
also been released and sent back to
bis gang on a horse furnished by the
sheriff. Two or three other under
woods are still held in. custody, and
a form of trial will ba gone through
with next week,' but uo one antici
pates any other results than that of
acquittal. -

to transportation men. so lar tbe

way, and the military are passive and
awaiting further orders from the gov
ernor, wbiob up to this time have not

Baltimore, Julv IS Three of
tbe rioters at Martinsburg were res
cued from officers by citizens. Tbe
strikers shortly afterwards threw up
lntrenchmenta on both sides of tbe
track on front street, preventing tbe
passage of all freight trains
authorities looked on while this was
being done, totally unable to cope
with tbe rioters. The strikers having
succeeded in stopping all freight
trains had expressed their deterinia
tion if their demands were not com
plied' with' before sundown tbey
ould bold the passenger trains as
well, and allow nothing to pass but
tbe mail. Cars loaded witb cattle
were shipped from Martinsburg to
Uarrisburg Ech car averaged six
teen bead of cattle, and tbe animals
were in a terrible eondition.
A dispatch was received at Wash
ington from Martinsburg stating that
strikers were becoming very demon
strative and trouble is expected. It
is rumored that the passengers will
be stopped to-night after leaving
Baltimore. Ihe strikers will not
q9e force, and it is supposed tbe
employees on the traiqs are in sym
pathy with tbe strikers and will
desert their engines at a given point
One of the strikers said under no cir
cumstances would tbe United States
mail be interfered with. "Because,"
aa he said "we don't want to get the
United States troops down on us."
Washington, juiy is. uater in
formation from Governor ' Matthews,
ot West Virginia, bas satisfied Mr.
Hares of the necessity cf government
aid iu quelling tbe riots on the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad, and 400
troops have

this number will be aant from here
and part from Fort M'Henry. They
are ordered to proceed with the great
est dispatch.
Washington, July 18. Tbe troops
ordered to Martinsburg are the Second

200 men from the Washington arsen
al, and eight officers and I IU men
from Fort M'Henry and are all under
the command of General French.

Washinuton, July 18. Tbe west
ern traio due here at 7:50 o'clock
this morning did not arrive until
near 12 o'clock. This traio brought
from Wheeling Governor Matthews
and a company of militia, wbo were
landed at Martinsburg. It was
stated on tbe arrival of tbe train here
that the delay was occasioned by
waiting for Governor Matthews and
the militarr and br the time lost in
slackiog up beyond Martinsburg as
a precautionary measure to aroid
obstructions, etc., Passengers by this
train, some of whom left Mi tiusburg
this morning, represent tbat anaira

assert ;that the wcrst has not

mined to allow no freight trains to
pass either war. Tbey als) state
tbat it will be imoosible to put tbem
down with any State troops and tbat
nothing but regular troops will be of
any service. The general sympathy
witb tbe men, some of ibe, Martins
burg people say, is owing to the
fact that under tbe usual arrange
ments for running freight trains tbey
were compelled to lay over at Mar
tinsburg sometimes twenty fjur hours
or more and did not receire any pay
therefor, but wh.le there they were
compelled to py board, which left
them but little to carry home to their
families. Tbe business at the depot
in ths city is not retarded in tbe
least either as regards passenger
trains on tbe Washington branch or
