7 THE ERIE STRIKE. End of the Difficulties in Jer- sey City. The Workmen Triumph and the Great Corporation “Backs Down.” Dissatisfaction of the Port Jervis Men With the Action of the Findlay Faction. Kickering and Jealonsy Among Workingmen, Hore According to resoiution adopted at Friday's meet- ing, the Erie Railway strikers were alert yesterday morning, and tried to prevent the men from work- iug, In which they succeeded, however, only par- tially. About half the men at Jersey City were at work, but hopes were entertained that these would “Knock of’? Monday morning. Eariy. yesterday anorning Mr, Findlay, Vice President of the Union, and leader of this movement, received notice that reesident Gould and Superintendent Rucwer bad gone to Port Jervis on Friday evening, with the pur- pose of seeing him and the other delegates; and failing w this, as Mr, Findlay was in New York at that time, had authorized Mr. Ridington, Superin- tendent at Port Bervis, to settle the dificulty with him, Mr. Findlay was requested to proceed to Port Jervis and see this gentleman; & majority of the strikers, however, were in favor of Mr. Findlay staying in New York and awaiting the arrival of Meesrs, Rucker and Gould, as the workmen desired to see these gentlemen thermselves. Accordingly, on their arrival bere yesterday morning by the 11:20 train, Mr. Findlay and = delegation waited upon them and asked for an interview, which was cordially granted them, to take place before two P, M. Accordingly, ac 12:30 the strikers’ delegation, with Mr. Findlay at its head, called on the oMcials. After explaining their position and stating their dewands, they were answered :— Gentlemen, we guarantee that you ehall be paid on or before the 15th of each month, provided some unforeseen clreumstance does not occur to prevent it. In such a case, we will telegraph to the head machinist of each point, stating the cause of ibe delay; but you, gentlemen, must promise that such # telegram will be sumictent to prevent a strike.” ‘This was promised by the delegation. So far as the reinstatement of the men diecharged is concerned, the promise was given to take al/ men back with the exception of two or three who bat been drunk and disorderly, As the Union does not encourage drunkenness, this point was aso con ceded. In cocnlusion Mr. Gould added —1 aim glad, geutie- men, that this strike has occutred, as it hax exposed certain things which we have been ignorant of and can now remedy; and if atany time, gentlemen, you havaany grievances to complain of the doors of this omice will always be open to you, aud we eal) be wlad to do anything we can for you. . Mr. Findlay then handeda copy of the constitn- tion and by-laws to Mr. Gould, with which he expressed himself much pleased. Afier the inier- view Mr. Findlay telegraphed to Mr. Mason, Presi- dent of the Union, to set all the men at work on Monday morning. Thus ended this strike, one which had not for an object the advance of pay, or shortening of hours, but that the money earned by the men should be paid at @ stipulated time, so that 46 could be relied upon, ANOTHER MEETING AT THE ENGINE HOUSE. At five o’clock last evening another and fi meeting was held at Engine House No. 7, Jersey City. The men, though not vy any means boisterous in their triumph, were evidently highiy piewsed with the turn matiers had taken durmg the day. Tus meeting had been appointed to hear the report of the committee of three, appointed at the forenoon meeting, to walt on the representatives of the Kail- road Company and confer upon the situation, aud, if possible, devise some means of remedying the exist- ing evils. This committee consisted of Messrs. James Findlay, of Burtalo, and William W. Willett and Richard J, Allen, of Jersey City, ‘The engine house was weil filled at the appointed hour by the resolute mechanics, who bac remained outside the workshops during the day. Great anxiety was munifested to hear the statement of Mr. Findlay, who was expected to speak for the com Bittee. The President being absent Mr. Alien called the meeting to order, and, without furtuer ceremony, msroduced Mr, Findlay, who spoke us follows:— MR. FIND!

Thus determined, on the Sd of August last, @ convention of their members was held in Binghamton, when with singalar una- nimity of feeling and action they formed the “Mutaal Protective Association of Operatives,’’ engaged in the building and repairing o1 railway motive power and rolling stock of the Erie Railroad. Their suc- cess in filling up the roll with members was unpre- cendented, and within a few weeks thelr numpers were over 1,000, including the artisans m every branch of work ccunected with such an extensive road. The amoant of remunneration which the employes received was of but little consequence, as that de- pended wholly upon their own efforts and habits of industry, But what they did want, and nad in view im their organization, was a “regular pay day,” a time when tiey could be certain that thetr monthly Wages should be received. Fora while after this period the workmen awaited patiently the period when they could conveniently bring their grievances before the oMctala of tue company, which at last pe- came opportune, Ou the 29.4 of September a dele- gate from each of the works at Buffalo, Susque- hanua and Port Jervis were authorized to proceed to New Yord and seek au interview with James Fisk, the vice president and comptroller. They were received by this tunctionary with marked kindness, Arrangemenis fad been entered into and promises given to the sforekeepers with which they dealt that their respective indebredness should be liquidated. Paymnascer Hilton was on hand with his car to pay the men from, but the “needful”? had not arrived from New York. The gitimmering of bad faith on the part of the company began to break upon the minds of (he workmen, but yet there was no outbreak or loud expressions of feeling until night, when the division president of the associa- tion, Walser Harvey, graphed to the central president, David Mason, the and requested to know what to do, His waawer was the signal for a general suspension of labor by the machinists, and in a body they wards convened at Keekman’s He situation was reviewed, Ne xt morning the cri me.

The disappointment experienced recentiy by the admirers nere of the “manly art’? in the failure of the Dougherty-Collyer prize tight was in some degree relieved yesterday by witnessing quite a lively mill between two well known aspirants for the honors of the arena—namely, Billy Carroll, of Baltimore, and Reddy Howard, @ marine, on duty at the Gosport Navy Yard. When the two former pugilists met at Jamestown Island, on the Sth of the present month, and the meeting resulted in “no fight,” an effort was then made to gratify the morbid taste of the large crowd present by getting up an impromptu ring exhibition between Carroll and Howard; but this was defeated by objections on the part of Carroll's friends on the ground that he Was not trained, and that he was tauch the lighter man of the two. Since then, however, Carroll has resided moat of his time in this city, and Howard having on several occasions taunted him for a fleht, an agreement was entered into ou Tuesday night last for a contest at catch weight on the following morning, ata place cailed “Missiasippi,”” about one aad a half miles from the city limits, Howard is about twenty-six yéars of age, welgh- Ing about 145 pounds, of less than the medium siature, but squarely and firmly built.

We find them to be briefly as follows: A large number of boats were detained at that potnt on account of the break, and a crowd of boatmen were thus congregated in town.

The name of Jolin R. Brady, as the nominated successor of Judge Clerke'to fill the vacancy on the bench of the Supreme Court has met with universal favor, not only on account of his judicial record ia the past, which, perhaps, alone shouid be the sole recommendation, but on account of the noble record left betind him by his brother, James 7. Brady, in the defence of the Union, when it was in ite greatest jeopardy, It might be said that so many candidates would not have entered (he contest for (he omce had Judge Brady's name in that connection been earlier put forward. In fact, he was not a candidate, and it was only after much canvassing among the numerous candiadtes that ge Brady’s name was 1tro- duced, It was at onee received with acclammation, and one or two further ballotings settled the question, and Judge Brady's name being presented so favorably to the Convention was itnmediately placed on the head of the Judiciary ticket.

Looking over the names ali will concede that from the known character of the men, most of them having already served terms on the bench, and the others most favorably known t the legal profession and to the citizens generally, tue candidates would be one and all acceptable if tuere were offices guough to accommodate them.

There a two Vacancies, but as the republicans, according to the law, will most likely have one of them, the prin- cipal fight is, strangeiy enough, over the Tammany ney. The three candidates are the present ii mbeat, Supervisor Walter Roche, who has r ceived the fammany nomination, a hopeful earnest of success in itself; Mr, Jolin Foley, who ts backed by most influential meu of all parties, the solid merchants and business men of the city, and Mr. dacobd Cohen, Who has entered upon the gigant there undertaking, a8 against Tammany, single handed and alone, but who has drawn to Limseif since he entered upon the contest the masses of the working- men and the hard-dsted voters of the city, from the Battery to Harlem. Mr, Cohen will fight it out to the last, and will hardiy give up then, as it will take some considerable time to convince him that ia beaten. Mr. Foley ts also resolved, and intends to leave no stone unturhed to turn Roche eut and Lo knock Colien out of time, These two candidates are very much excited over the contest, wile M Roche takes it ali very easy, satisiied with the exe’ tions his triends are making in tis favor aut tt great prestige of Tammany. POR CORONER the two candidates are the Tarmany man, tle pre- seut incumbent, Wm. Schirmer, and Mr. Nelsou W. Young. ‘The latter has received the nomination of every anti-laminany organization in the city, and bets are in favor of his carrying off the prize, Mr. Young will have the votes of the entire workingmen of the city within the democratic ranks, while the whole republican vote and infuence is solemnly pledged to bim on election day. It 18 generally cou- ceded that he will beat Tammany out of ber boots. THE SENATORIAL AND ASSEMBLY TICKY With regami to the Senatorial slate we have already fully reviewed the fleld and the candidates. Tam- maby has made @ strong slate, and one that can hardly be broken by the strength of the opposition, were even hat strength united upon their candidate: The Assembly slate, so far as Tammany goes, pre- sents the nates of the oid incumbents, with hardly achange.

The severe storm gesterday caused a postpone- ment of the extra day’s ex of the American Jockey Club at Jerome Park until next Tuesday. Much regret was occasioned by the sudden change of weather, a8 the roads aud track were in splendid condition, and the clear sky and south wind of the preceding day had determined thou- sands to attend, Ail the preliminaries were complete yesterday morning, and a large number interested in the races nad gone out to the park early to go over the course and examine the novel features of the occasion. At nine o'clock it was still hoved that the ciouds might break aways, but before noon heavy drops commenced to. fall, and. the Managers, appreciating tye general desire of the public for a grand gala day, inmediately sunounced by telegraph a postponement of the races. By Tuesday it is probabie that the track will again be in good condition, and if the day be fair an im- mense concourse of the e/ife will attend, ‘The pro- gramme is one of the best of the season. There are to be four races, consisting of a grand steeple chase of two and a hail mile: tree handicap sweepstakes of one mile and three quarters, a selling eweepstake of one mile and one-eighth and a final race of* mile heats for a purse of $500. ‘The entries include some of the best horses entered at the reguinr fall meeting of the Jockey Club, among them the winners Bohannon, Mitchell, Metairie and Lizzie Koj ‘The great interest felt in this extra day’s racea was indicated by the spir- ited sale of pools ou Friday evening, detaits of which were published in yesterday's HRKALD, Mitchell, Cottrill, Connolly and Lizzie Rogers were the fayor- ites, and were soid at the rate of two to one for the first choice in the pools. Should the weather be propitious Tuesday's races will be the event of the \urf season. Ail who failed to attend the races of the fali meeting in conse- quence of the disagreeable days aud bad roada will be present, and the dispiay of fashion and equipages will be a magnificent spectacle. The rule of the fail meeting Will be observed on this day, aud exira trains will run from the Forty-seound street depot as usual, GISCOVERY OF HUMAN SKELETONS. Within the past day or two the people of Sung Sing have enjoyed a sensation in the discovery of four in- man skeletons on a farm adjoining the camp meeting grounds, @ short distance from the village. Some laborers, it appears, while cutting @ private road- w nthe property of David B, Moses, drove thetr implements into @ miniature Gok gotha, from whence they exhumed @ quartet ot decayed humanity, which had rosted time out of mind, not more than two feet beneath the earth's sur- face. Two of the skull# were in & remarkable state of preservation, the teeth almost glistening in their original sockets, and offering @ strange contrast to ihe effect that me had written on the residue of the bones, The other two skeletons were further ad- vanced on the loevitable journey toward ‘dust,’ but medical men who examined the bones pro- nounced them, with the others, to be masculine relics, It was aiso calculated that the remains must bave belonged to men @t least six feet in height, land on which the skeletons were found has been parc of the McCord estate for more than @ century until recently, When 1 passed into the hands of the rty mame above. No living member of the ‘ord family recoilecte the ground being broken ‘on the spot where the remains have been discovered, and the mysterious deposit wil probaby contin: forever unaccounted for, ARMY INTELLIGENCE.

The Triaix of Public Life~The Errore of Prie vate Friendship—Antecedent Records the Test of Principle and Veracity—Firk, Gould aud Lane Metaphysically Considered. To fully and truly inform and set the public mind right on the bewlidering questions suggested by the extraordinary proceedings of the gold speculators, their action in Wall street on the memoraiie 24:h of September and their conduct ever since, a judicial inquiry would appear eminently necessary to wift he true from the false and establish a proper estimate of the character of each one directly or indirectiy connected with the ring. People are growing weary of the constant iteration of charges which have Lo proof advanced to support them. If the ring possessed any solid evidence that Preti- dent Grant or General Butterfleld was concerned in the late disastrous speculation, it is fair to pre- sume the public would have been jong since fur- nished with it, Having nothing tangible to how, and having a very nefarious object to suvserve, the machinery of slander 1s set in motion, tn the hope of accomplishing the desired end. The combination of Fisk, Gould, Lane & Co. set their hearts op the raja of General Butterfield, and wili hardly deem their labors rewarded until they see him ofMfcialiy decapi- tated. Lane's letter, which was referred to yesterday, da worthy of perusal, as a curiosity of sent per #ient literature. The vulture-like instinct disclosed in Lane’s character, the remorseless hounding down of Butterfeld which he exults in describing, the savago glee with which he telis his chief that he has frightened Butterfleld into the promise to sell the roof above his head to satisfy the relentiess demands of the ring, are in themselves suMcient to give us an insight into the fearful desigus of these men, No man of honor, after reading the stories we have been regaled with for the past few weeke, could for @ Moment wish himself on intimate terms with any of those who have been figuring #0 disgracefuily be- tore the public in the colamas of certain morning papers. There are many men, of course, who walk the streets daily and hold their heads high among thei Jellows whose secret history, if known, would cou- sign them, in ® wWell-regulated community, to ihe companionsiup of felons. It 18 not every man who {s guted with the Intuitive faculty of finding out by the sole exercise of his own observation the true character of every one he meets. Whe General Grant came here last summer and accepted the courtesies of Admiral Fiskjhe little dreamed what @ consummate dissembler be was talking with whea the question was innocently asked him a® to the policy of the Treasury. An exuberant evening jour- Nai Of this city felt mortified that the President failed to kick the Admiral over the stern of his aleamer; but the fact that he did not do so te surely no evidence that he felt any more inclined to encourage the approaches of the iinpertinent interrogator. Jay Gould and General Butterfield were very old acquaintances, and is there anytiing contrary to the general experience that two men may be for years on intimate terms, aud one may wake up some morning to discover that his hitherio unsuspected friend was really at heart an upuitl- gated swindler? There 18 not 80 much ekili, after ail needed to cloak the real character and present a counterfeit one to the general and particular gaze. In the absence of aristocratic distinctions, wealth ia chief measure gives prominence to members of our democratic community. Jay Gould and James Fisk, Jr, until their real characters became gener- ally known, had as good claim to the society of the influential as other men of great means command. Their acquaintances were numerous and resp able, and among them thay could count upon Pres dent Grant and General Butterfield. What more natural than that Gould in his casual meeungs will the latter, whether in the building of the Sub-Treasury or at their private houses, should talk over financial topics im which both, from their positions in life, would no doubt Teel more or less interested? If in @ guileless mo- ment General Butterfield calked indisereetly to Gould itis nothing more than what, in the experience of human friendship, 18 every day occurring. Men ean not be forever on their guard and forever morbidly ondering over the hollowness of the tenderest Lies. Who is there that has not committed to the ear of his friend secrets that he should certainly feel reiuc- tant the whole worid should hear? And even frou. the lips of the purest of men many thiugs drop i a lifetime which a malevolent mind could readily tor- tre into evidence of criminal thought. a Gould, Fisk & Co. owned such reputatio were proof against even common © their statements would be heard respect. and their charges wou A Weight almost sufficient to dispense with inquiry. But their repulations are not thus unassailable and the creatures, such as Lane, Whom tWey employ to further thelr wariare on an officer of the govern- ment can certainly be whit superior to tem selves in that regard. The occupants of @ glaew house undertake a very rash part when they assault outsiders With stones. Itinvites retallaion 0 & ten- fold more serious nature. Mr. Fisk scarcely raises Dimgelt in pnblic esteem any higher than the level he previously oceupiea by the proceedings of Friday in the Court of Common Pleas, Affidavils were numerous enough to show that Mr. Fisk for one purpose was prepared to prove himself a resident of boston aud for another purpore a resident of New York. Jadge Daiy makes the inquiry in court jas Mr. Fisk a wife and family residing here with bin’ ‘Mr. Dudiey Field repites—He has a wife, but she 1s separated from him. This would seem very explicit and reliable, coming from such a gentieman as Mr. Field, but Mr. Fisk, i a letter to the papers next morning, (iow easulet- ealiy denies I notice in the evening papers of this date a report that my counsel had atated in court that I had separated from my wile. I curry asrured by my counsel that the reporters misunder- stood he remarks actually made, and, having been thus put ina f light before the public, | beg leave to say that my relat ith my wile are now, as they always have been, with ut interruption during the ihirteen years of may marrie life, perfectly harmonious and happy. JAMES FISK, Jn. 4 ‘There were affidavits too numerous to mention going to show that Mr. Fisk if living in harmonious relations with his wife must have an exceedingly indulgent spouse, as the following extract of We proceedings would warrant the inference :— The affidavit of Mr. Butler contained a statement to the effect that the said Fisk bad resided at No. — West Twenty- fourth street, where deponent had frequently called transacted baainess with him; thathe had seen Mr. Da Drew coming out from there, and that at this time said boure ied by Mra. Josephine Lawlor, sometimes called Vd the divorced wite of Frank Lawior, the actor, and ber mother, Mra. Warren, from California; Mr. Fisk gene- rally dined at that house and generaliy drovg from there to the Erie offices in the morning. 2 ‘Other aiidavite were read showing that Mr. Fisk was on torms of “close” intimacy with Josephine, that be had been seen walking with ber in the street and that he be bas been Known to sleep frequently at her house. All this only goes to show that if Mr. Fisk’s state~ ment on one subject is 80 open to critieisin the public is not bound to give implicit credit to his statement on any other. The records of Mr. Goulds career furnish simiar evidence of the ease and indif- ference with which he can set aside the trath when it stands in the way of his object. Lane is scarce worthy of notice, for his letter shows palpaple proof of being manufactured to order, and a reference to his antecedents dispels all hope of expecting any- thing else from him than ingrained deception. These are the trio who have made the aitempt to destroy the character of Gevera! Butterfield, by inuendo first, and, growing bojder, by direct ana deliberate charges of corruption afterwards, Of course the victim of such concentrated malice would not only do injury to himself but infitct a serious wrong upon the community if ne hesitated to demand an investigation of the charges made against him. [tis a duty to the public that thia new-fangied method of impairing the efficiency of & government oMicer should be thoroughly exposed and {ts authors hekj up to merited oaiuin General Butterfied will no doubt se0n be granted the court of mquiry which he bas requested of the President, and a great light will de let in upon the Infarnous design which the ring laid to enmesh the Assistant Treasurer in the toils of their conspiracy.

Yester day afternoon detective officer Dunn brought the girl into court, charged with robbing 4 Chinaman, who boarded at the honee they oecnpic 50 Park street, of thirty-four dollars’ worth of clothing. ‘This youth. {nt inebriate made a pretevce of grief, but it wasa mere feint; she had told the officer that she could not be committed, for no body saw her take the prop- erty, and, therefore, she conid not be punisned, Judge Bogan was of a digerent opinion, aud #he was removed to the cells. The next case whict Judge Hogan was called upon to see and hear was two polivemen, each carrying a little baby in bis arms aud below the bar a good looking, decentiy dressed young woman, who was the mother of the twin babes and the prisoner of the podce. tbe officers said they had found the wou very drunk in 4 liquor saloon At No. 86 Broome street, and that one of the children dropped from her arms to the floor.

She had been thrust into a cell, her children taken from her and herself made the jive of the people who thronget abouther, It was quite a new experience to ber and she wished to have it understood.
