Meeting of Miners—Organized Fffort for the Amelioration of the Sufferers by the Disase ter—The Course of Blake & Co. Endorsed Contributions to the Relief Fund. PirTsron, Pa., June 2, 1871. The first mecting of the miners employed at the West Pittston shaft was held this afternoon tu the Luzerne House. The object of the meeting was stated to be the discussion of the propriety of instt- tuting legal proceedings against Blake & Co., on behalf of the sutferers of the late horrible calamity. Mr. W. W. Kendrick, superintendent of the mine, was called to the chair, aud Mr. Phillipa secretary. Upon assuming the chair the Pre- sident availed himself of the opportunity to counsel the miners upon the issue presented for their consideration. In a few terse remarks he stated that the feelings of the country were aronsed in sympathy with them, and himself and his eme ployers, Blake & Co., were iu DEEP MOURNING OVER THE DISASTER that had afflicted this community so severely; that an organized effort for the alleviation of the sufferers was being made with every prospect of success; that Blake & Co. were doing whatever was Possible to lessen the sorrows of the survivors, and that the immediate wants of the families m distress were being attended to a3 far as provisions and clothing would extend, and that it was his concientious belief that the most judicious step would be ihe acceptance of the dona- lions NOW being contrivuied as a sattsfactory con- ion ot ait thav money could avail them. To gestions of the Superintendent there was no pposiiion.

ENDORSED. Resolved, That we, the miners aud others employed at West siiteton tnines, assembled here in meeting, express our hearty approval of he poiley adopted by Blake & Uo. in as- Bistlug aud obtaming resources for relieving the families of our deccasud fellow workingmnen, and hereby testify to the Public that we discountenazce aby attempts that may be made to Interrupt ‘ fata bo~ id comple prove, dis- countenance and oppose any poifey and action which ‘may be adonted anagouistic to our employers, !n whom we have perfect confidence. A number of the employ¢s commended the spirit Of the resolution, and, dpou being submitted tu the meeting, the resolution passed Wihouta disseaung rote. Upon the suggestion of a miner, Mr. Kendrick, the superintendent, vacated the chair and ictt the room, ullowing a tuil and unembarrassed aiseussion ofthe resoluuion; but the result, f anything diser- ent, was more unaninous than before, every miuer present voting in the affirmative. One of tite voters, a survivor of the catastrophe, became so exhausted that he had to be conveyed home in the carriage of the HERALD reporter. SUBSCRIPJION TO THE RELIEF FUND. This action of the West Pittston miners cannot fail to be productive of much induenee in obtaining Subscriptions to the relief fund, without any undue influence upon the part of the company or any out- siders. They have sai to the country—"We accept of your contributions and will apply the funas to the wants of the sufercra. There suall be no large law- yers’ bills to be settled ont of the fund. ‘The whole of the proceeds of the benevolent appeal snail ve used in the cause of humanity.” WORK TO BB RESUMED AT ONCE. Blake & Co. will ai once commence the erection of @ Lew breaker, and the men will be employed upon the work in a few days. The general agent, >. H. browa, told the HERALD reporter that had the de- cision ot the miners’ veen to prosecute suits for damages Blake & Co. should not have commenced the erection of @ breaker until the end of the suits, which would probabiy have lastea for years. Now the men will receive one hundred cents on the dol- lar, At the end ofa lawsuit they would have been fortunate if they got twenty-fve cents on the dollar. PITTSTON RELIEF FUND. The committee for receiving subscriptions to the relief fund for the widows and orphans of the late disaster at West Pittston reports to-day subsecrip- tons received at the First Nauonal Bank, Pittston, amounting to $1,834, of Which £1,245 were coniri- buted by the citizens of Pittston and $559 in other places.

JUVENILE DEPRAVITY IN WeSTCHESTER, A chubby and unusually precocious boy named Valentine Wagner, aged eleven years, and who re- sides with his parents on the Bloomingdale road, near 100th street, was brought before Justice Ful- len, at Morrisania, Westchester county, yesterday, to answer a charge of having attempted to commit @ nameless outrage on the person of a child five years old named Caroline Hudson. From the evi- dence it appeared that the juvenile scoundrel had been on a visit to his aunt, who lives in the village above named, ana while there cast lascivious eyes on the infant, whose parents resided in the adjoining house. Maddened witn his shock- ingly depraved desires, the accused, durt the af- ternoon of Thursday, seized the cnild, while on the back stoop of her father’s abode, and having forci- bly thrown her down proceeded to perpetrate the outlandish offence indicated, until the grandinother of the litte girl came to ier assistance. He was at once pursued by three oilicers, and by jumping from the second story window of a house succeeded in evading capture for several hours, It was subse- quently ascertained that his little victim haa been seriously injured. As the evidence of guilt was con- clusive the Court sent Wagner to the House of Re- fuge. Oe RS FIRE Ii TWENTY-FIFTH STREET—-DAMAGE $6,000. A fire occurred in the two story brick buliding Nos. 513, 515, 517 and 519 West Twenty-frth street, yesterday afternoon, occupied by Woodward & Swift, as an iron foundry and machine shop, and damaged the stock and machinery to the extent of $3,000; insured tor $19,000. The first floor of No, 519 was occupied by Kaward Merril, # steel spring maker, Whose stock was ‘iamaged $1,000; sured in the Willlamspurg City for $1,800. The houses, owned by William Remsen, were aged to the extent of avout $2,000; fully insured. During the fire a por- Uon of the roof fell i, carrying with ita number of firemen, but fortunately, however, none of them were injured.

He viewed the body, examined the incision of the larynx, and came to the conclusion that the physicians who per- formed the operation were justified: in that operation, as the ouly cliance to save the man's life, He adds that Lennon would have died very speedily of asphyxia if the physicians had not faken that course. Those who complained that no mquest was held, not being aware of this, were disposed to blame the phystctans, not fer criminality in the case, but for undue haste in deciding on the operation.

After breakiasting on porgies—which I am informed are very pleniifal and easily caught—I sauntered along the road in the direction of the rresident’s cottage, After ton o'clock the heavy banks of fog parted, obedient to gusts of unsteady wind from the land, and the sun shone out warm and genial. A sharp walk of twenty minutes or so brougnt me over the creek to the hill at the top of Which the President's house 13 situated. Tnis build. Ing has already been described very fully in the HERALD. The President was sitting m 4 rustic arm- chair on the poriico, nis father-in-law, Mr. Dent, near him, while Miss Nellie and Master Grant practised croquet on the lawn as 1 approached. Opening the yielding gate and walking rapidly on the gravelled waik toward the cottage, I stood be- fore the President and paid my respects. Those who assert that General Grant is diMcult or approach, 1s reserved and shy, and reticent on matters of which he has especial knowledge, do not know the man, In the few mtnates in which L was engaged in preliininary conversation with bim my previously tormed ideas of HIS TEMPER AND TACT were completely changed. General Grant is only reserved in the presence of those whom he does not know, ts silent only from policy, and has abundant tact. ~ There is not a Tore keenly observant man living, or one more Capabie of taking in at a glance ana forming an in- stant and right opinion of a situation than the Presi- dent. He had received trom his steward the morn- ing papers, but had not read them. General Grant smiled pleasantly and gave me a Kindly greetin Offering me a seat beside him, he lit the worn cad of what was once a good cigar, pulled his hat a litue Turther over his eyes, crossed his legs and asked THE NEWS OF THE MORNING. I gave him the budget of morning intelligence very briefy. The following conversation then took place—the President fully aware that he was talking 10 @ HERALD correspondent:— “Some fetlow,” said the President, “pretending to be a gentieman, induced my steward to show him over my cottage before came. 1 hear that he has published alot of stuff ina New York paper, de- scrioing the furniture of my bedroom and the quality Of the spittoon {n the nail. tolerated?” “They are ignored, Mr. President. are as impotent as the clamors of a certain por- tion of THE ENGLISH PRESS, T suppose you have seen that they are not satisfied with the international half loaf offerea them, but want the whole.

The treaty was fully and ably dis- cussed, and, in my judgment, is the best settlement possible of the outstanding diderences between us and Great Britain. ‘There 1s a good deal of misap- prehension on both sides of the water concerning the Treaty of Washington." “Indeed, Mr. President; in what respect’? “It ts thought by many that tt was rushed through and acted ypou a whole without proper considera- ton on the part of both governments. The facts are that every article of the treaty wag submitted to me after it was adopted by the Commission and approved by me; and that each article was in the same way submitted to the British Cabinet and ap- proved by the Ministers of the Crown at once, The Engitsh Commissioners spent & great dea! of money in telegraphing the sections of the treaty. The Queen of England pledged her signature beforehand, Itherefore regard the treaty as pratically ratified. ‘There will be pecuniary considerations, of course.” “What pecuniary considerations, Mr. President?" “Measures will have to be adopted on both sides to carry out THE PROVISIONS OF THE TREATY. Our House of Representatives wil, I feet certain, act patriotically and wisely in the matter. The treaty must be ratified and made a jaw of both na- tions—it 1s necessary—the necessity 1s immediate, As far as we are concerned we would like to nave better terms; but there were two parties to the bar- gain, If [had itall my own way I think 1 coulda make It more favorable to us.

The point aimed at Was uot merely a pecuniary satisfaction for our losses by the Alabama and other cruisers from British ports, but the settiement of aa irmtat- ing and disturbing question likely any day to bring the two nations into armed conflict. Mv atm was by this treaty to secure peace through justice, and I believe I have succeeded. No apprehension need be felt as to the course of the Britisn people. 1 would regard it as AN ACT OF BAD Falrit on their part to reject the treaty after its almost unanimous acceptance by our Senate. ‘the English must surely prefer a fair settlement of our differ. ences with them, for which this treaty provides, than to nurse a cause of war, Settlement or wart Were the alternatives, (As the President said this he threw away his cigar with a ‘sudden jerk.) ‘The final ratification will be a blessing to bot! countries,’ 5 “The Canadians, Mr. President,’’ I then remarked, “don't seem pleased,” “Well, I suppose,” he said, in answer, “they will, after a while, They will be reconciled to it by and by. ADd Why shouldn't they’ The fishery clauses of the treaty are as favorable to them as to us—per. haps moreso. I'l be glad if they settle the matter at once and be done with it. The Canadian fisheries don’t amount to mucn for us, while the equivalents we grant must be considerable to them, J don’t attach much importance to THE PECUNIARY CONSIDERATION one way or the other. The pith of the thing is the avoidance of war. !t w: dangerous question to be held open. Our fisheries were always a trouble and an annoyance, The fishermen of the East who fish on the Canadian coast have but little respect for treaties or engagements.

Now I hope the whole affair will be settled. There were 80 many questions between us and England de- Manding settlement that war seemed the only alternative, It is well, str, that war has been avolled, I prefer the treaty to war; war would be hu ul to both nations and profitable to neither, It might be ruin to one.” “In the paper im which the farniture of your laundry and kitchen 1s described, Mr. Prosident, I See that you are credited with the intention of a radicat change In your foreign policy, and also that the Secretary of State 1s about to resign, It is not necessary to ask ff the article ts baseless ?”” “No, sir. There is nota word of truth in these statements whatever they are. Not a whisper of MR, FISH'S RETIREMENT has lately passed me or any of the Cabinet.

The Ku Klux legislation of the last Session must have occasioned you an immense deal of annoyance.” “The disturbed state of the South and the Ala- bama claims question were certainly disturbing.

These were they who helped on the Ku Klux for the encouragement of their agents abroad, and it was they who were most active in supporting a show of opposition to the national authority. I told Senators of this matter and urged tiem to act on the treaty with England at once. It was very important, sir. You wilt concede that it was wise to so urge the Senators? ‘The set- tlement of the Alabama claims. as they are called, and all other differences with Ensiand will have the happy effect of PREVENTING A WAR, It will also destroy the hopes of the Southern rebels aud perhaps persuade them to become peace- ful, law-ablaing citezens.” “While Jeif Davis is at large, Mr, President, will it not be dimticutt to allay Southern disaffection’ Can he not be arrested under the Ku Kiux law?” “He might be imprisoned. But what would be the use? It would be like seizing a newspaper. It would only create sympathy for the sufferer and inflame passions now happily dying out. We can’t ailord to MAKE A MARTYR OF JEFF.

Ilike the view here, and find pleasure in driving on these roads. 1 will drive a good deal this summer, after they water the roads.

People come from all the States, and New York sendsa large delegation.” - intend. . mes i the summer, I will leave here on Tuesday or Wednesday, and return, probably, on the following Monday."’ After some farther conversation—not, however, of a political character—I bade the President adieu, understanding that I was at liberty to publish the conversation I had tne honor to enjoy, and which I have carefully reported. Ileft the grounds of the Presidential cottage fully tmpressed that General Grant 1s no sphinx. ‘Thejhotel people here are busily engaged tn pre- paring for the coming week, which they hope will be the opening of a prosperous season, THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR. The Knights Templar gotng for a European tour left Alleghany City at six o'clock P. M. on Wednes- day, escorted by 100 of their members. On ARRIVING AT PHILADELPHIA they were met by escorts trom the St. John, Phila- deiphia No, 2, Kadosh and Mary Commandertes and conducted to Masonite Hall, where @ banquet was tendered them. Yesterday morning 150 knights of the St. John Commandery escorted them to the train and embarked with them for New York.
