TELEGRAPH OPERATORS’ STRIKE, “No Surrender” the Motto of the Dis- affected—Wide Spread of the Con- tagion—Explanations Fro and Con—The Oath of the Ope- rators’ League. The telegraphers’ strike has become @ general thing throughout the whole country, and the 1ead- mg persons in the strike in this city are constantly receiving despatches trom every quarter. They neld two meetings yesterday, at 270 Grand street— one at ten o’clock in the morning and the other at half-past three o’clock in the afternoon. ‘The meeting in the ‘efternoon was a very Jarge and enthusiastic affair, there being present not Jess than 150 persons, of whom fifteen or twenty were ladies. As usual, the meeting was dignified and orderly. Mr. J. ©. Christy took the chair, and, after calling the meeting to order, introduced John W. Browning, of the National Labor Unton, who addressed the meeting. He sald he re- gretted exceedingly the cause of the strike; but the Western Union Telegraph Company are attempting to break up what little opposition now remains to them in this country by reducing the wages of thelr employ¢s twenty-five per cent, thereby enabling them to reduce their tariff considerably below that of the other companies, As a laboring man he ‘was personally interested in the success of any move- ment likely in any manner to break down all such monopolies. He knew the strike would not last Jong, for the public will not suffer their interests to be tampered witn. He had been told that every desk in the inain office was filled full of matter awaiting transmittal. Te hoped they would accept of no compromise, for if they stood by one another as they should, and as they are now doing, the victory woula be theirs beyond a doubt, and it would be a victory of laborers over monopolists. Mr. ALEXANDER TROUP, also of the National Labor Union, said he was there to assist the strikers against the greatest monopoly in the United States, Hesaid the Associated Press was in with this monopoly, and, therefore, the public could not get a fair state- ment of the case, The object of the company was tw reduce the salary of every operator in their employ, the statements of their oflictals to the von- trary botwithstanding. Mr. W. L. Ives, a strikist, on behalf of the Tele- graphers’ Protective League, thanked the gentlemen or the National Labor Union for their kind assurances of sympathy and offers of assistance. As far as pecu- miary assistance is concerned, we have no need of Mt at present, nor do we expect to have, all hands being, he believed, prepared to fight it out on this lune if it tukes all winter, The HERALD, he said «several voices—*‘That’s our paper’’), was the only paper that had set the matter correctly berore the Public. (Voice—‘That’s 80.”) Colonel MARSHALL LEFrerrts, Chief Engineer of the Western Union Telegraph Company, appearing at the door, was admitted, and, havingjheenjintroduced to the meeting, addres them for about five minutes, He said he had not been sent there by the company, but came wholly upon his own responsibility, He wished to speak to them in all Kindness. He advised a dignified course and was glad to know that such had been theirs. The officers of the company, he assured them, do not Teel any vindictiveness towards them whatever, although they (the officers) think the operators have acted somewhat hastily. If he could be of any as- sistance to the operators 1n any way he was at their service. A orn number of telegrams were received and read from Operators in every section of the Union announcing that the offices of the Western Union Company were almost if not entirely deserted and closed, and assuring the strikers here that they would stand firm against the unjust demands of the company. The meeting then went into secret session. THE FORMIDABLE NATURE OF THE STRIKE. ‘The number of operators now on strike and those ‘who refuse to fill the places of strikers will number nearly, if not quite, 2,500; in fact it includes nine- teen-twentieth of the whole force employed by the Western Union Company. The members of the did not probably number more than 1,600 before the strike, but yesterday and the day before their ranks have been filled by at least 500, and those who do not join refuse to work at otner points, which answers every purpose of the league. The excitement 1s somewhat subsiding now, and as far as the opposition lines extend the operators are coin- pleting their organizations and preparing for a long siege. Some have gone home to visit their friend: Dut most of them are on duty acting ec committe: the principal one of which is their vigilance coi mittee. Telegraphic Messages by Railroad Lxpress. BROOKLYN, Jan, 6, 1870, To THE EviToR OF THE HERALD:— In order to show the public that gross fraud is being practised upon it by the Western Union monopoly, I would state that all the telegraphic busi- ness ior Albany and the East, excepting Boston, is deing sent forward by railroad. This informa- tion comes from one who has seen the clerks ali occupied in taking copies of the @aild business. All operators will readily ac- cept this information as fact, having seen the company adopt this fraud in the event of storms Interrupting the wires; but the unsuspecting public possibly had not tmagined that such contemptible tricks could be played upon it by so vast a corpora- tion. In the event of a iengthy prolongation of the present aiM™icnities the public may expect similar “prompt despatch” to ail points. ° A TELEGRAPH STRIKER, The Western Union Company's Side of the Story. The following card from the officers of the West- ern Union Company gives. thelr version of the origination of the present strike:— ROUTIVE OFFICE, WESTERN UNION 15 GKAP COMPANY,» 146 Broavway, New Yoru. $ To me PouLic:— Since the publication this morning of the c: the odicers of this company, explaining the © ‘out of which the strike of operators aroxe, a full statement of what rred in Californian has from the company’s agent, Mr. Mumiord, Jows :— About the middle of December Superintendent Gamble, de- siring to readjust the compensation of the empioyes at San Francisco according to the vaiue of their rervices, gave no- tice to two operators that after January 1 their salaries would be reduced from $120 to $1152 month, and to a third that his salary would be increased from #100 to $120 an increase in the aggregate compensal of the three of ten dollars a month. Acting on these notic as ‘s supposed, the operators at San Francisco wuited in pre: seating a achedule of salaries which they asked to havo adopted. In this achedule the two salaries which Mr. Gatu- bie had proposed to reduce remained as beiore, and an in- crease of four others was asked for. Mr. Mumford so far assented to the schedule onto make no reduction of salaries, and allowed a portion of the pro- posed increase. Ho at the same time informed the operators ‘nat the force in the office was larger than was justified by the ished business, the number of messages being Jess than and the receipts lighter. The operators themselves ad. ed that more men were employed than was strictly neces- sary. To bring the force thus into harmony with the wants of the business two men were dismissed, but they were not the men whose galaries Mr. Gamble hail iu the first fustance proposed to reduce, ‘The salaries <f those men remained unchanged, although one of these was dismissed after the .eduction of the force above mentioned. A fourth maw refused to work al the schedule price, although it waa ten dollars a month higher than he had ever Leiore received. Out of this state of things the etrike arone. ‘The facts thus explained fully support Mr, Mumford’s origival statement, that he had reduced no salaries and had po intention of doing so. He bad, in fact, increased them poo the petition of the operators themselves, and tue only man who appeara to have left becaure be was diskatiafied wth his compensation refused to work at an advance in hig signed by matances a detailed uu received They are as fol- Salary of ten dolirrs a month, The suike, then, In nol, af the operators here have alleged and supposed, a we in resistance of a reduction wagen—gen or apeciai—but in support of the im of an individual whose i v \eeired. all the clrcurostances, th Bi roughout the Union have le purpore of subjecting the busi delay and derangement because some John Smith, in ¢ fornia, demanding an increase of twenty dollars in bia salar can get only ten collars, ‘This ts the real Isaue, unleas iti further claimed that this company shail not be permitted to determine how large a force Is necessary to do lia busines, and to increase or diminish it from time to time accordingly. 0. .

A REPUBLICAN PLUG MUSS, The Twenty-second and Twenty-third Street Factions Again at Each Other's Throats—* Roof” Andrews and Charley Spencer Pitching In— The “Blue Coats” Expel the Belligerents. One of the most disgraceful political rumpuses that ever soiled the Character of tne metropolis took piace last night at the republican headquarters, in twenty-second street, where the disorganized and smashed up pieces of the party hitherto known fas the republican party met for the purpose of trymg to heal old sores and organize a general committee, to consist of 159 mempers. Long before seven o’clock a large crowd of per- sons had assembled on the sidewalks and tn the halls of the building in which tite meeting was to be held, and it_could pe casily gathered from certain remarks that a “plug muss” jof the worst kind was on the eve of occurring as soon as the clashing forces entered the room. To describe how the room was entered would be an afluous undertaking, for every one that couid went 2 some headforemost and mavy tumbling one over the ower, luspector Walling and a Jarge detachment of police under Lis command took possession of the room ‘ud landing aud peremptoruy refused admission to tue reporters, as he said he bad instructions from the big guns” of the Assembly not to permit any del amang them takin’ notes.” After waiting ulne time, however, listening to the howlings of the contestants inside, the HERALD reporter yed to be lifted in ou the shoulders of a popu- ve, Which made arush against the door and carried ib by storia. nm inside presented the most boisterous All aiagracetul aspect to the spectator.

THE BROOKLYN ELECTION FRAUDS. A Lively Tilt Yesterday in the Court of Sessions, Brooklyn, Between the Dis- trict Attorney and the Prisoners’ Counsel — The Cases Trans- ferred to the Court of Oyer and Terminer. ‘The room of the Court of Sessions, Brooklyn, was densely crowded yesterday by as motley a gathering Of politicians as ever added poison to the atmos- phere of a court room. The small fry, as a matter of course, predominated, in point of numbers, and the big bugs were on hand in full force with their most extensive diamonds glittering from their cleanest shirt bosom and their delicate.(?) fingers. Over a full half hour elapsed from the time the room was thrown open until the judges took their seats, and during that time the audience discussed in low tones the merits of the cases that were to be tried. In some instances bets were made on tne result of the trials and the money put up. When Judge Troy, accompanied by Justices John- son and Voorhies, came in, the District Attorney sald he was ready to commence the trial of the cases set down for arraignment to-day, and he had sum- moned some witnesses, but he understood that the counsel for the defence had a motion to make in the matter. Mr. Britton, tne counsel for the prtsoners, then rose and sa:id:—When I undertook the defence of these cases I expected to appear before a jury fairly empanelled, and before a court fairly adminis- tered, and 1 did not doubt but that would be the case if they were tried tn this court. But I not propose to try these cases before a reform club or any other political body, What ideus the District Attorney may have by seeking to transfer the trial of these cases to such an associa- tion [do not know. Butthe District Attorney has taken occasion to say, under such circumstances as we have indicated and to such @ body, certain ‘things relating to these cases in which he has made two statements, District Attorney Morris—I expect that the Court will hear me in reply. Judge Troy—I1 would prefer not to have this court turned inv an arena for settling matters which transpired outside the court and with which tt bas notning todo, Turning to Mr. Britton he said—L taink your remarks relative to tae doings the District Attorney outside the court are not In place here, and the Court has nothing to ben or do with those matters which occurred outside of the court, and I do not propose to pass upon tle propriety or impropriety of the actions of the District Auorney outside of this court. Mr. Britton—1 have moved all these cases, except nine, which I now hold in my hand, to te Court of Oyer and Terminer, at great personal inconvenience to myself, They would ali have been so moved but that the pile of papers necessary for the moving of the cases Was So great that it was impossible to do it in the time allotted. 1 give notice now tuat Ighall be ready on eny and ail occasions, from Tuesday morn- ing next, as long as this Court of Oyer and Terminer may sit, to try the cases, and shail be prepared to meet him and submit the grounds of iny defence, and shall askjthe District Attorney, if he is not now, to be ready at that tame vo try these cases, As there are only nine of these cases left J siall now move that the Court transfer them to the Court of Uyer and Teriiner; and with regard to my motive ior transferring them, I can only say that my cients on consultation, and for reasons best Known Wo them- selves, Unought that it would be desirable to transfer their cases to-that court, They do not intend any disrespect whatever to this court, and do not in- tend to express any Want of confidence in its tmpar- ality or justice, dsudge Troy—The Court cannot perceive any disre- spect in the motion made by the counsel, for persons charged with crime have the right to be tried in any court which they may select. That 1s & legal right all persons have, and when a man comes mto this court and says that he cannot have a fair and impar- tial trial we have always moved, of our own accord, that bis case showld be transferred into some other court. ‘Mr. Morris—I do not propose to say anything in Justification of my course outside of txts court. I am able to take care of thiselsewnere. I can excuse the counsel for bringing those matters into this case. 1t 18 part of the business of this transaction to attempt to try the District Attorney. J shall be ready to meet the counsel on all points arising in the and I think 1 know that [ am responsible to Court for my conduct in court and to the citizens at large for my conduct elsewhere, I will answer to tne citizens and not to the counsel. On Friday morning I was ready to proceed with these cases. I have been anxious to bring them to a speedy trial. The counsel then suggested that he bad not had any time to prepare himseif to meet the legal questions in the case, He had, he said, devoted his evenings to tne preparation and study of the matter, and said if the cases were put over until tais morning he would be prepared in this court to make a motion w quash, or else to interpose such a pica of abatement as ap- peared necessary. Mr. Britton 1aterrupted the District Attorney and said:—“I did not say that I would be ready to try them in this court.” Mr. Morris—It was sald that if the motion was overruled they would be ready to proceed with the rials, Phoned Troy—I do not know if it was said “in this court.” Mr. Morris—I subpoenaed witnesses to proceed to the trial of thts case this morning. Yesterday for the first time I learned that on the very day the counsel made this statement to the Court that orders were made in some of these cases removing them to the Oyer and Terminer for trial. These orders were not filed in the County Clerk’s office until yesterday, and I Dave never got the slightest information from the counsel that It was his intention to remove these cases to that court for trial. 1 understand the whole of this proceeding from the eginning to the end, and I will state this, that in the orders trans- ferring the cases to the Qyer and Termi- ner there 18 no imtimation that the parties fear they will not have a fair wi in this court. I find no fault with the taking of these cases out of this court, but! fod fault with the man- her in which 1t was done. The cases have been re- moved out of this court, and of course I cannot pro- ceed to trial, and have nothing further to say, Judge Troy—The Court has always been anxtous, when a person coming before it for trial desired to be tried in another court, to grant him his desire, and wiil contunue to do so. Mr. Britton—I will now ask the District Attorney, through the Court, if he has stated on several occa- sions that he got these cases ready to be tried on Friday last, but that we were not prepared; and if ne did wad it true? District Attorney—I stated on Friday last that I would be prepared to go on to-day, but did not know that the cases were to be removed. Mr. Britton—I would now usk if the District At- torney does not know that the court was not con- vened (or the trial of cases on Friday last. The necessary order was then ie transferring the cases to the Court of Oyer and Yerminer, wher upon the politicians and their hangers-on lett the room. AMERICUS CLUB BALL. T A blaze vt beauty and prilliancy, a bewtlidering maze of light and coior, an intoxicating scene of regular and irregular motion, and by turns an en- Atvening and dreamy tow of melody fliled the Acade- my of Music last evening. The occasion of these as- sociations was the annual ball of the Americus Club. To sum the affair up, tt may simply be said it was the diamond ball of the season. As was stated in the Hgxaup of Sunday last, everybody who considered themselves anybody were sure to be at this ball. There were representatives from the national and State Legislature, judges, aldermen, wupervisors, the Sheriff, members of the bar and delegates from almost ail Classes and professions» ‘The decorations consisted simply of a fine scenic painting of the club house and grounds at Green- wic h, Conn., with the club barge, Bassford’s dug- out, ‘fne Eel,’ and Shandiey’s Coustitution, and the yachts ail properly roapnea, The insignia of the club, in figures of fire, shone in front of the painting, and at one side a beautiful tiger sivod on a high pedestal and giowered al space. e scene at midnight was pecuilarly grand. Viewed from the boxes and tiers the throng on the floor below might be taken for an immense diamond, sending forth dazzling rays of brigntly colored light, or a mammoth serpent with glittering and beautifully vari- tinted scales, wnich changed, or seem to change, with every twinkle. The bali was almost indescriv- able. Jt Was grand aud jammed. There was a sort of democratic aristocracy and aristocratic democ- racy. Etiquette and form were obeyed, but were not permitted to interfere with sociability and en- joyment, There were a8 many spectators of as par- tictpators i the dances, and all seemed highly pleased, ho was therey Everybody and his wife. Of the Cresses; imagine a collection of the richest fabrics, made into all p ible modes of fall dress, aud yet in accordance with taste, and there itis. ‘The floor was admirably managed by Mr. Halil and his committee, white the police and re- ception committees, under Judge shandiey and J. L. ler, were au fuit, aud the ubiquitous and unc- tious President, Wo. M. Tweed, was as lively, as useful and ae much looked tor a» ever in all deparl+ ments.

Minnie Wilson sworn, says—1 reside at No, 144 Bleecker street; on Wednesday morning, January 5, 1870, about two o'clock, I was standing in West Houston street, in front of nouse No. 27; I saw James Logan (tne man who was shot) walking up and down the sidewalk with some man in front of No, 25; 1 heard him say that as soon as these men came out he would mash them; { stoou there for fifteen or twenty minutes; during that time Logan also stood in front of the house; at that moment a friend of mine, John W. Cook, came along; I spoke and asked him where he was going, and he said he was going down tothe cake shop, at No. 25, to get something to eat; I cautionea him not to go down there or there would be a fight; while we were speaking three men came out from the cake shop; Logan ut this time was stanaing near the House o Commons; on seeing the men come up he went over and asked them why they wanted him; they asked him “Who?” he then said he could whip the man who spoke to him, or all three of them, and threw his hands up while thus exclaiming; I am sure that the man who stood in the centre of the three shot at Logan; be ran up the street towards Mercer street, shouting that he was shot and wanted to be taken to the doctor’s; the man who shot Logan turned around and went toward Greene street; a police officer came up and caught him; he said to the officer, ‘1 am not the man,” when the officer let him go; { seized nim by the collar and cried out, “{ have him;” my friend, Mr. Cook, cautioned me to let him go or perhaps he would shoot me; 1 let bin go and he went toward Greene street.

A Transaction by Wall Street Brokers-One Hundred and Fifteen Thousand Dollars In- volved=The Mayor of Hudson City One of the Accused. Yesterday afternoon Benjamin F. Sawyer, Mayor of Hudson City$ Samauel Ropes and J. J. Bowman were arraigned before Justice Leawith, at Jefferson Market, on the charge of false pretence and obtain- ing a large sum in bowds by misrepresentations. The affidavit was made on the 20tn of Decemper, by Cornelius W. Campbell, 406 West Forty-seventh street, a broker in Wall street, who alleges that on October 8 Samuuel Kopes, accompanied by Benja- min F, Sawyer, called at deponent’s piace of busi- ness, 60 Broad street, and represented that he couid make from four to five thousand dollars commission by allowing them to use his name to eifect a joan of $00,000 upon $115,000 North Carolina railroad =bonds. Shortly after Ropes calied ogaim with ® paper which, he said, wus drawn up by Mr. Sawyer; that it was only a form, and requested deponent to signit. He kigned this and also another paper, neither of which he had read; at the same me Ropes represented that he was in a great hurry, as Mr. A. A. Shepherd ‘was waiting for him and wanted one of the papers. Since then deponent learns that one of the papers isan agreement or a stipulation to hold in trust $115,000 worth of Norv Carolina raflroad bonds, and to return the same and not dispose of them; that the other paper was an order tor the delivery of the bonds to some person who deponent has ascertained to be A. A. Shepherd; thas Benjamin F. Sawyer, Samuel Ropes and J. J. Bow- man conspired together to cheat and defraud the owners and holders of the said bonds out of the game by virtue of the order so signed, and did sell the same and convert the proceeds of such sale to their own use, except a@ stall portion which they have been compellea to pay one Colonel Littiefleid, the former holder thereof; that for the purpose of inducing the holders of said bonds to piace the same In trust in_deporent’s nands the said Sawyer, Ropes and Bowman represenied deponent to be a man of large means and having large sums of money to loan, all of which statements are faise, fraudulent and untrue. Yesterday © preliminary examination was had, when Mr. Campbell was placed on the stand and testified to the details of the transaction. A further Learipg is get for to-morrow, DISASTER AT SEA.
