Tue courts are tO i sue writs to Lhe marshals, in- structing them to see that the roads in’ the hands of receivers are not interfered with by rioters, and the marshais have power, if necessary, to summon # posse lo euforce the orders of their courts. This brings the rioters in direct Oppos tion to the power of tne fed- eral government, should Uiey attempt to in- terfere with any roads in tae hands of ceivers, and il was agre si at tae Cab that the whole power of the gove: shonld be brought ‘> bear to sustain ti United States marshals in case of necessity.

IN FAVOR OF ARBITRATION. ELeereng 4 Mr. St. Andrew, of the North American St. George’s Union, ba! an inter- view with Secretary Evarts, ‘and presented &@ memorandum, adopted al a meting of the executive committee of the North American St. George’s Union, held in Philadeiphia on Wednesday, July 35, 177, respectfully sug- gesting that if the United States goveroment would take the lead in establisning a joint commission of masters and men, with some leadu g statesman, designated by the Presi dent, a8 chairman thereof, all questioas now in ditpute could be speedily sectled by arbi- tration, and that the confidence of the work- men iu sucha tribunal would probably ta- duce them to resume work oti a fair and equitable adjustment could be re: . Andrew informed the 821 St. George's union was a body which to a large extent represented both capital and labor among its membership. Mr. Evarts expressed his general approval of the prin- ciple of arbiiration, and promised to give the matter due consideration. THE NEWS FROM ALL THE THREATENED Ts 1 POIN: received by the government continues to be of the most assuring nature. It Ings teen that the troubles in Chicago, which threw this community into some little excitement, were exceedingly exaggerated by the telegrapher at Chicago, and, until contradictory advices were received, even members of the cadiuet were by meaner that troops would have to be withdrawn from the frontier and sent to Chicago. The reports, however, from the commanding officer iu that city are sach as to leave no doubt that the military force now in the city in co-operation with the civil authority are sufficient to preserve the peace and protect life aud property. There is now very general expression of opinion among ‘Fs of the cabinet that tue riotoas ele- ment of the strikers has about been dissi- pated, that, though the railroad em- os gd May impede the moving of freights, mail and passenger connections betweea the east and west will be shortl Thus far it would appear from the mass of tel 8 received at the Post Office depart. Ment that in most cases the railroad coupa- nies, and not the strikers are to blame for any interruption in the mails thathave taken place, AKOTHER MAN-OF-WAR. ‘The Huron arrived off Giesboro’ point last night, from Norfolk.

July cetton ittee Wea KE th, 1877.—7'o Messrs. J. AH. Bider, president, C. Sheckles, Sam'l Moles- worth, J. D. Price—Gentlemen: I am in re- cetpt of your communication enclosing res- Qlutions adopt.d ata meeting of engineers, firemen, conductors and brakemen, propos- ing the following rates of wages :—Engineers, first class, $3.50 perday; do., second 1» $3; Fagg torre her , 5, —— and pypeorgeont @2. in declining this proposition it is but proper and right that the reasons whica have Ted to this covelusion should be explained. The great depression in business which com- menced fn the autumn of 1573 has continued, growing from bad te worse. The effect upon the Baltimore and Ohio company has shown continued large decreases of revenue. The other trunk lines had reduced wages 10 per cent., one of them on first of June, and two of them on first of July, and at that date a similar reduction had been made on — of the leading lines inthe country. It will be observed that the Baltimore and Ohic company was the last company which com- petes for the great trade of the west whict made the reduction of 10 percent. That tir whole question may be understooi, I present &# table of rate of wazes paid trainmen in 1se1, fn isi7, after Wie reduction, and the rate you Low propose: Pay Fan duly 1. Pro; ed Tonnage conductors ..51 65 $2 25 133 18) Tonnage brakemen....1 5 158 1 Tonnage engineers . As compared with 1861, the ‘8 youname will exceed those in operation at tiat per.od to the extent of about 35 percent. Tne rates of the rouga fre‘ght in 1861 were double those of 1si7,and_ for ceal the rate was 23, wilist in June, isi7, it was but 137 from Cumberland to Baltimore. The officers of the company are sure that it is only neces- sary to submit these facts and figures to aat- eid every reasovable man ae eerie at the Wages you propose cant paid. Since the panic ‘of 73 DOL only. have the rates of through freight and traffic been reduced by severe and active competi- diminished, eshecially is this tras i tegen min. es) Ly. e to the for has been the leadin; col branch of the subject brings me to call to yovr attention the motives which gov- erned the company in employing a greater number of men than were required In bandiing of its traios only a limited amount of business could be secured. It would have been quite as sat: to the company to have kept in the service only the number of men needed for the work, but it was regarded as more humane, in view of the creat gt At work generally, to dis- tribute the limited amount of “business smongst the greatest practicable number. Whilst it 1s @ sabject of regret that these mo. tives have misunderstood, and in grea* degree produced the present trouble among our trainmen, it ts satisfactory to kaow.that these difficulties can be readily adjusted in ner as to protec: materially the railroad isa matter in which all our citi- zens of every calling are vitally interested.

SAN FRANCISCO ARMING. Meeting of War Veterans. SAN FRANCISCO, July 26, 9.30—The vete- ran soldiers of the war, both federal and confederate, met at Horticuitura! Hall this evening, elected Col. Withington com- Mander, and organized in four companies, of 30 each, exclusive of officers. Taey were +upplied With rifles, and adjourned to Dash- uway Hall, where they remain waiting or- ders. he Committee of Safety. The committee of safety met at Hort! cultural Hall immediately after the veterans left, and were told off into companies of 50 each, and reported at the City Hall to the chief of police, by whom they are dispatched to all parts of the city on patrol duty. Seve- ral entire companies are armed with regula- tion rifles, while others have a tew men armed with rifies; the remainder being sup- plied with clubs and pocket arms. 4 large number of eavalry revolvers have also been served out, with abundant supplies of ammu- nition. The vicinity of the City Hall early in the evening presented an aspect calculated to convince the dangerous classes any outbreak would be attended with conse- quences Gisastrous to themselves. All the court-rooms in the building, the outer police office, the police yard and the court of the building were crowded with WELL-ARMED AND DETERMINED MEN, Tepresenting every class of society. Mer- chant etreet, between Monigomery and Kearney, was lined on one side with large express wagons ready to transport reinforce- ments rapidly in any direction. The other side of Merchant street and Kearney street in front of the etty hall were filled with the ranks of the committee of safety,and large bodies of the same force were m: aud drilling im the vieintty. In addition, nm merous companies of fifty had been dis- patched to every quarter of the town, and i some localities where danger was more par- Ucularly apprehend:d their numbers weze increased. ‘The beat of spirit animates the force, and the expression 18 So frequent as to be almost general to the effect that they wished the hoodiums would give them one oy to eacu them such @ lesson as wou SQUELCH THEM ONCE FOR ALL.

Danwell and bis party have applied for gans to arm a company organized at Pierce City, consist ing of ‘9 men, most ef whom are without arms.
