THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, DECEMBER &, 1876. = ALD. WHITE. sons for His Elsction as Cap« s tain of Company F. ‘ Was It to Secure That Appropriation?--« His Examination by the Board of Officors, One of the reporta read at the annual meeting of the First Regiment, Tuesdny night, romarked, fucidentally, that the appropriation of $2,500 mada by the City Council for the use and be- ‘oo of the organization had not been paid into ghe regimental coffers, hut that hopes were en- fertatned of rellef within a short time, The members present applauded the sentiment, and pothing more was snd. There was nothing in the report to indleate liow tlie money was to be obtafued, nor were there any hints as to the means to he need §n fnducing Lha City Treasury 1o forle over the £3,500. Thero was merely a miid hint that perhaps the money would come {aa short tne, and the hearts of the warriora were gladdened. Upon the adjournment of the meeting, eev- eralof the companies entered upon the election of thelr oficers. Company F was the last foteport, hutvflm\lly announced tho clectlon of ALD. GEORGE B, WINITE, CAPTAIN, As o the manner In which this consummation was brought about, and the object of the selection of Ald. White, there are somewhat e stories, Whether [t was through the flf{nmnuns of Ald. White, lu.splrmlq by n Jimfiskion smbitfon for milltary glory, or whether the members of the regiment thought they gaw in Ald, White nlever for the ralsing he $2,000, 1s-a vexed ".question. Home o e First nveigh in . 1m0 gentle terms ogalnst the “chioosing of ~ Ald. White a¢ commandant of vne of the compantes, put outsiders—laymen, g0 to apeak—put huge, swollen red fingers heslde red moses, and hint tunt the Indignation expressed 18 bt a clonk to detlgne upon certaln eity certificates, apgregat- ing fix value the sum of $2,600. The mombers say frankly that White 1s not n soldler, has nover peen amember of the repiment, and that his election Is tracesble to machinations of himself ud his friends to adarn his shoulders with base pulllon epaulettes, and that he secured his ele- wation MYcl y for lils own Interests nnd not thoso of the compnny or the reghnent. And right hiére it might be an act of justlce to Ald. White to clte A PARALLEL CABE. In 1871 the Ninth Reglment New York Stato National Guard lost its Colonel, Licut.-Col. Bralne, than wlom a better militia ofticer never existed, wag n the lne of promotion by the suffrages of the Board of Officers, and i was accepted ag o matter of fact that he would bo elevated to the vacant post. The Ninth did not sand very highin militla circles, Its ranks were Wb, and'its zeneral appearance on parade lnggard and huugry, ‘There wore dissensions and struggles, and the organizatfon was threat- ened with dlsruption. On the eve of the elce- tion of Colunel 1t was amiounced that Jim Fisk was an uspirant, The respectable ele- ment of the tegiment kicked vizorous. Iy, when, to the surpriso of that cle- ment, it was dlscoved that TFisk had gecured consldorable strength, nnd that the riff- nfl wero strougly In his lavor. Many of the line officers threatencil reelgnation fu the event of his electlon, while the rank aud file demanded 1he reslgnution of any offieer who fulled to vote forbtm. True to hls instlnets, Fisk bad gone for the privates, and they were with him to a man. Braine wns clected and the Regimental Amory wae lke o lunatie asylum. A few days alterwards it wus avnounced that Dratne had restgned, had been re-eleeted Licutenaut- Colonel, and Fisk had secured the coveted Coloneley. 1t was done quictly, Thero was no oise, ondthe fact that the Board of Oflicers took him I without cven s squealc Ted to the ruzgestion that - perbaps tho Eile Rallroad Company would ny 68 -big divideads an the” succeed eclarntion a8 at the preceding one.

Cmicaco, Dec. 7, 1870.—A few worda mors on the subject of “ Intimidation as an Element in Politles* scem to be called for, In = provious article I Jald down the proposl- tlon that it was only neccssary to adopt the Loulsiana precedent nsn general rule for the whole country in order to disponsa with pepular clections entirely and to substitute, in their place, tho views of thirty-eight Returning Boards—that $hla would bo asubversion and oxtinct{on of tho processca by which our lnsti- tutions are maintained, leading fufallibly to anarchy and despotism.

This remsrk is not modltied by the report of tho Shermuu Committes sent to Congress by the President yesterday, There have been cer- tain ez-parte aflidavits submitted, which the Sherman Cominittee dignify with the nome of “proofs,”” Iwill notstopto Inquire whether the parties making these affidavits are credible witnessea; whether the affidavitsare signed with tho names of the deponents or With a mark; or whether the deponents possces sufliclent intel- ligence to know what they have signed, or put thefr marks to. It is sullicient that tho ailida- vits arcez-parte; that there s been no oppor- tunity to cross-cxamitic the witnesses; that In the only case where cross-cxamination was at- tempted it was summarily checked and refused by the Returulng Board, Every lawyer knows that such affldavits are not evidence, and that they would not be accepted In a case involving the value of & pair of boots.

Suspension of Production In the Lackawanna Region. Contest Between Colliers and Operators -+-40,000 Men Out of Work. Lnsettled State of Afialrs in the Wyeming Reglon- Al Qulet In the Lebigh District. Apecinl Correspondence of The Tridune. Benantox, Pa., Dec. 4.—As was expected, the coal-producing and transportation companies operating In this part (and the surrounding dis- tricts) of the great Lackawnuna anthracite re- zion have determined to suspend operations at the collieries owned or controlled by them, on the 15th fnst. The nonouncement made by the Buperintendents of the companies to the wminers, of the Intended cessation of operatfon at the mines, has naturally created considerable dis- satisfaction, which GROWS IN INTENEITY MOMENTARILY, Upon tlie dissemtnation of the unwelcome In- telligence, at this period of the season, when there is always more or less privation among the warking classcs of the minfug country, the col- Yiers and laborers assembled together, and do- nounced in unmeasured and bitter tones the operators’ actlon. White public meet- ings of this clarscter were belng held fn numerous minlug towns, the execn- tive oflicers of the governing branch lodges of the Miners’ Natioral Assoclation held privata confcrences fn this city, at Iyde Park, Dun- more, Carboudale, and olsewbere, to decide what course shiould be mapped ont for the guid- ance of the memuers of the Assoclation, It was gonerally agreed that the operators’ movement was uncalled-for, unjust, and necded & rebuke of the strongest kind upon the part of the miners and their co-laborers. The sunti- ments of the majority of the attendauts ap- peared to bc\lhn. the ‘operating and carrying companies had resorted to the shut-down sclicine at this time to have an opportunity to FORCE UT THE PRICHS OF COAL nat the geaboard, as they had all been rushing coal to the ¢ty depots ot o great rute for some onths past, and ang It up for future specu- Intive purposes. After'a general review of the situation in the coal-flelds, and the condition of the laborlng classes, it was resolved that the companles, pnrflculnrl{ the Delaware, Lacka- wanna & Western and the Delaware & hlxdaon, be requested to rescind their proposition, It wee further determined that, If the request \was rc- fused, the men sbould be_ordered o * stand out.”” This was done last Saturday, and since that time the greater vortion of the members of the Unlon have remaiued {dle, awalting, in accordance with thie order of the exccutive head u{ the Assoclation, the response of the compa- nies. "The Intelligence has atrived to‘dnflumt there will not be any alterntion fu the decislon of the operators; and the rvault Is, the malcontent workluzinen stlil remain (dle.. Other negotia- tions are pending srith the airents of the compa- nies,—the Mioers’ Association leaders msklng for some sort of a compromise srraugement. But, from what can be ascerialned In official” quarters, it is not probable the companles will chavpe their dectslon fn aoy form whatever, 5o a8 tolet the miners liave” employment ul the collicries after the 15th duy of this mouth, It appears foollsh and fndiscreet to some_peo- ple that the mincrs should adopt what Is tefmed a sulcidal policy; but the collicrs say they are prepared to FIGUT TIIE OPERATORS FOR PULLY SIX MONTRS, und are going to do it. They also contend that the quantity of coul on hand, now that scvere cold weathor has ret fu, will be exhausted ot o mument when it will bo most profitable for the operators to have thelr mines running, and the movement of the workingmen will entoil serious Joss upan both producing and carryiog corpora- tions, This is- unquestionably true; but the fdea of the miners *‘ standing-out' very lnn_xf'. in their present almost abject clrcumstances, I8 seouted by many, In fact, the impression is quite general amony all classes ol people fn any way dependent ubon the production of the “Dlack’ dismonds™ Tor subsistence, that hun- dreds of the really aullarlnf Unfon winers will S blackleg '—gever thelr allegiance with the As- soclation—after o vertain lenzth of time, and when it is discovered that the companics are nosltively determined to carry-out the suspen- slon-movement. Operators whose position in the business glves thewn every opportunity to become fully posted as to tinde-trunsuctions assert that the companies wish Lo WOLK-OPF SOMI: OF TIIE BURFLUS STORED FUIX,, and, to do this, it will be nccessary to stop pro- ductlon for a few weeks. The operators never intended a lengthy stoppage, ns has been report- od, The avnounced suspenelon may be contine ued until the 18t of Junuary, and perhaps a lit- tle longer, os all the detalls for the transaction of the year's busitess, the armangement of wages, naking of contracts, and putting the collleries nud “mine-property fn order, are done about that time. 1t the meu feel disposad togo to work, there {s no doubt but that operations cenerally will bo resumed about the middle of Junuary, and It I8 even possible some of the collierles will be ready to start by the opening of the now year, unless the miners employed at thetn shodld feel Incliucd to continus the ob- scrvance of the holiduy-scason o littla longer than usual. ‘The present trouble throws about 15,000 mlo- ers and laborers out of work. This number, ndded to the 25,000 already unemployed elther through suspenstons or by being discharged, MAKES 30,000. In the adjolning Wyoming reglon, noue of the companies or {ndividual oporators have tukea any action regarding a ceseation of work at the mines, Therg are all sorts of rumors aud reports afloat, however, about tho wmatter. A very correct statement of what may probably be done by the operators there bas been obtalned by ''uE TIiBUNE correspondent from o prown- fitent official of one of the heaviest companles. ‘This gentlemnn gtates that the prescut unset~ tled and unprofitable stute of the conl-market encrally requires soma action apon the part of the operators to avert possible bankruptey, The Pmrr!ctuu of the collierles o not wish to close helr works or discharge their mens and, more- over, ftis feared o complete shat-down polley would result {n 4 strike, aa some of the wincrs are just ripe for an outbreak,—they being stirred-up to s twlluw«n eumity towards the operators by tho teachings of INCENDIARY LABOR-AUITATONS, who have almost llwaflu been the dircet cause of strife betwuen the colliers and employers.
