The occasion of your address is the announcement of your Acquiescence in the proposition with regard to the Imethod of hoiding the coming election, recently agreed to in conference both by the Republican State Central Committee and by your committee. Task you to contrast the manner and spirit in which this proposition has been received and acted upon by these cominitwes respectively. ‘Ihe republican com- inittee, actuated by a spirit which was naturally sup- posed to inspire such measures of adjustment, reirained from any allusion to the recent occurrences in this city and State, and abstained trom any denunciation of their political opponents. In your address you take occasion to recapitulate old charges of ‘op- Pression and corruption brought against the re- | over,” publican party and the prosent state ment, notwithstanding the uncontradicted and trovertible statements In my published address of the 30th ult., show that the present State government is not responsible for the present State debt or taxation, has reduced both, but also shows that tor most of the | debt and taxation, both State and city, the democratic party is directly accountable. You compiain that the police juries of the parishes are swelling the taxes, but you fail to state that the taxes are higher in some ot the strongest democratic paristics. You aswert us a reason tor the recent disturbances that we have been inciting hostilities between whites and Diacks and that arms had been And were being turnished | the latter. This 1 emphatically deny and challenge you to produce any proof of the assertion. On the other hand you are e 1uily aware that large quantities ot arms have | been shipped to this State for the purpose of arming the whites against the blacks, with a view not only to i n- timidate the colored people, but also to overthrow the consututed authorities of the States.

Serious Outbreak of the Strikers Amti- cipated at an Early Day. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Oet. 7, 1874. Sherlff Whitaker, with a posse of some sixty men, went to Moosic this morning to protect the miners disposed to work im the colliery of the Glenwood Coal Company. Affairs at the mine were about the same as yesterday. At the head- ing or opening of the drift a few loiterers were found, but the main body of the malcontents did not put in an appearance, The first duty of the posse was to ciear the works of the idlers, and admit the Welsh miners who were ready to enter the mine, Fifteen or twenty of them went to work, and the colliery was once more in motion after a suspension of about five weeks. The oil- cers of the company had made out a list of thirty- three of the ringleaders in tne strike, and the posse commenced making arrests, and up to the leaving Of the train this evening thirteen men (ail Irish) had been taken into custody and conveyed to this city, where they were examined before Alder- man Parsons, who remanded them to the County Prison for turther hearing. there are but few of the principal strikers or leaders, the most prominent malcontents having disappeared to parts unknown at the first appear- ance of the officers of the law, Nearly all of them were taken at the mine opening, and they ap- peared to be there more from Curiosity than a sinister design, The men were captured WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST RESISTANCE or remonstrance, and seemed to regard the whole proceeding as a matter of course. Alter the men had been cleared from the vicinity of the mine buildings the police began to scour the surround- ing woods, and managed to gather in a few strag- glers who were endeavoring to make their escape to the mountains, All the movements were made with promptness, and witnin two hours after the arrival of the Sheriff the most profound oraer prevailed in and around Moosic. ‘Thus jar all has been plain and easy sailing; the men have been arrested quietly; there has been no dis- turbance of any Kind and peace seems to prevail. But those who best understand the situation are by DO means disposed to consider the difficulty as even near the door of settiement, One of the ofMl- cers of the COMPARE remarked to-day, “The trouble is but just beginning; THE WOXST IS TO COME.” Talking with some oi the poor miners In a casual | Way, one of them ventured to remark, ‘“Bedad, somebody is going to be hurted belore this thing is ‘The general silence which prevails in Moosic is considered a8 ominous of pending evil. ‘ne bitterne-s of national prejadice coutinues to crop out strongly, apd the leeling of hostility to the Welsh miners has been greatly intensified by the scenes of to-day. Still there is no open expression ol .repuguance, but there is On the taces and in the eyes of tie Irish an appearance which does not presage the kinuliest feelings nor indicate a disposition to peace. there will be uo conflict with the ofticers of the law. The grudge 18 against the Weish mine boss or superintendent and ms countrymen who are | willing to work under bim, and when the restrain- ing force of police is removed the discontented irish mtners will seek the day of their revenge. The feeling has extendea to the surrounding country, and, the excitable Celts are already pre- paring Jor the anticipated iray. Betweeu twelve and one o’clock ifis morning a large MEBTING OF IRISH MINERS was heli in Doak’s Hall, Pieasant Valley, about three miles irom Moosic, at which incendiary Speeches Were made ana one of the apeakers deé- clared that 700 men were ready to take part if the struggle is precipitated,- [t is believed that des- perate men from Sciuy!kill county have already assembled in the victnity of the scene ol troupie | and only await a chance to bring on a conflict. ‘The neighborhood of Moosic has a reputation | none O1 the best and the community contains very rough and reckless spirits, Many oi whom bave very little compunction about shooting a man from behind a stone wall or tree or beat- | ing him to death when overpowered by numbers, dt is but recently that an assistant mine boss, working for the company which runs the Glenwood mines at Carbon Hill, about a mile from Moosic, was shot dead in his tracks and his murderers never discovered. Murders have not been unfrequent, and bratal beatings are of almost daily occurrence, It is the knowledge that THIS UERRIBLE ELEMENT has been fully aroused which causes so much apprehension regarding the difficulty at the Glen- Wood mines. Important developments may take Place to-night or to-morrow morning. The heavy rain which has prevailed all day appears to have dampened the ardor of the strikers somewhat, but with pleasant weather they will, no doubt, occupy the woods in force, and make matters unpleasant. The company are still firm in their determination to sustain the | mune boss, and the strikers are equally resolute in their declaration that they will not wort under Davis. The Glenwood mine is run by the Erie Railway Company, THE ALABAMA CLAIMS, eS Decision by the Court of Commissioners of Important Points—The Claims of Seamen for Wages and Losses—Defects of the Law. WASHINGTON, Oct. 7, 1874. Several interesting points were raised in the Court of Commissioners of Alabama Claims to-day. R. M. Corwine, of Washington, submitted the | question that where several parties are con- cerned in the same claim one or more may pre- sent a petition, leaving each claimant to furnish his own proofs within the limitation of law. reasons assigned for this question were that as in the case of indemnity for seamen’s wages and effects, being in many instances for small amounts, while some of the parties might be in this country to represent themselves and their companions 1n the form of petition, otners migat be at sea for long Voyages Without such advantage. Therefore it was but just that their interests should be pro- tected in their absence in the manner proposed. | ‘Tne Court, in response, delivered an opinion to the effect that such an arrangement was inadmissibie under the law creating the Court. Three of the Commissioners were on the Bencn to-day; but the | two wno were absent had previously expressed themselves favorable to Mr. Corwine’s propos: uon, Mr. Creswell, government counsel, agreed with the Court, but said any papers or petitions could be filed with the clerk subject to demurrer. In this the Court siiently acquiesced, and there- | fore the question may again be considered waen a case shall be made up and presented, CLAIMS OF SEAMEN. C. 0. Duncan, Shipping Commisstoner, of New York, with the permission of the Court, made a statement m behalf of the sailors. His object was it possible to secure to them the indempisy for wages and effects to which they were entitied, Many Of these sailors were now and would be ab- sent from the country for a iong time, and, there- fore, could take no measures in tueir own behalf, The Shipping Commissioners were under the di- rection of Lnited States Circuit Vourts, which conid act as the custodians of the moneys awarded and pay the same to the interested parties on the presentation of the proper proofs. Such sums as should not be paid out would, of course, be re- turned to the Treasury. The Court, while appreciating the suggestion and expressing its sympathy for that class of men, said it could not authorize such an arrangement, ag the law was specific in its provisions, Mr. cresweil thought the remedy in the case presented would properly be with Congress, as the law under which the Court was organized pro- vided that the awards should be certified to by | the Secretary Of State, and by him sent to the Secretary of the Treasury, with whom rested the da and responsibility of paying the awards to the parties respectively designated. Mr. Duncan remarked that he did not expect the Court to make such an arrangement as he had suggested, but brought the subject to its at- tention in the hope that a provision to meet the case would hereafter be made by Congress, THE PRESIDENT AT 8T.

Marie Heil- bron, the Marie of the occasion, an opportunity to display her talents as a bravura and, as the Ger- mans would say, “coloratur” singer and as a soubretie. 10 both respects she gained the desired point. Her Marie is full of clever acting and bril- liant singing. The time honored numbers assigned to the prima donna were given with an effect and dasb that enhanced their value considerably in the minds of the musicians present, Signor Ben- fratelll made a very pleasing Tonio and sang his | music commendably, and Signor Scolara acted the part of the gruff old sergeant to the life.

THE DEATH OF THOMAS WEIGER, A Mystery To Be Explained. To-day Coroner Eickhoff will investigate the circumstances attending the case of Thomas Weiger, who died on the 34 inst. in Bellevue Hos- | pital from injuries received in some manner then | unknown. It subsequently appeared that Weiger, a man some sixty years of age, wno was of intem- perate habits, worked in a coal yard at No, 3 Oak street, fell from the roof of a shed in the yard, and being taken up, was removed to the Fourth precinct station house, only a few doors distant. Captain Ulman and the sergeant in command, as well a8 several officers then present, considered that Weiger was intoxicated, as he appeared stupid, but made no complaint of being injured, | although able to talk and make himsel! understood. | Alter Temainiog in the station for an hour or two Weiger walked over to the Tombs with au oMicer, and on & Charge of intoxication which was pre- ferred Justice Fiammer committed him tor ten days. The prisoner remained in the Tombs for day or two, and it was only when about to trans- fer him to the island that it was discovered that he was & more fit subject for the hospital than the yon. All this time, it appears, deceased had ‘acture Of the Collar bone and several ribs, but no one scemed to be aware of the tact. It will be tne jurpose ol Coroner Eickhof to ascertain whether eiger received the fatal injurtes by falling from Was particularly watchful over her because she Was an orphan; she was of most exemplary habits and very talented; she guve lessons in music and became organist in Glendenning’s church; Glendenning gave her numerous presents, including @ paw of gold earrings, a pair of goid bracelets and an engagement ring, on which was engraved the word: two | { hearts in one;” ths ring he aiterwards took back from her on some trivial pretence a few months belore her death, (Mr, Miller here ex- lubited some of the articles of jewelry.) punday night belore Giendenning’s arrest he es- curted Miss Pomeroy home from the church alter evening service. Mr. Miller then detailed tne cir- cumstances of the arrest of Glendenning on the charge of bastaray, the proceedings in the charge | Of seduction, and the suit tor breach of promise of marriage. Chairman—Have you the documents in these cases In your possession ? Witness—Yes, all but the amMdavit in the breach of promise case; it ts filed in the office of the Clerk of the Supreme Cour; at Trenton, but Mr. Linn, wo was the counset for the plaintiff, has | written for a certified copy of it to Trenton; Jus- tice Aldridge will produce the other papers when he appears belore you. Mr. Miller detailed the conversations .e had with Miss Poweroy concern- ing her relations with Glendenning and his own interview with the pastor when the latter was | arrested and brought face to face with the injured | rh Mrs, Miller was the next witness called. Her testimony was @ corroberation of that offered by her husband. ‘The moct striking part of it was ber account of the interview between her and Dr. Hubbard, superintendent of the institution tor foundlings m Clinton place, New York. She had called im company with Alfred B. Pomeroy at three institutions for ioundings in New York where she desired to have Miss Pomeroy’s infant brought up, but the conditions were so exacting that she Trejused to accept them. When she called at the Clinton place institution and stated the object of her visit she Was asked questions as to her place of resi- dence, &c.; sne Was then informed that a gentie- man had been there some weeks belore making arrangements to have a young lady admitted into the institution, ‘as she was in trouble ;” in the | conversation which followed Glendenning was de- | scribed so accurately that Mrs. Milier said, ‘‘Why, Doctor, you astound me; it cannot be;” to which the doctor said, “Well, then, you hi better go | and see the matron, and she will tell you, for she saw the man;” the matron’s testimony of ‘the fact | roved to ve stronger than the doctor's; Mrs. Mil- | er went home and returned to the institution, | bearing a photograph of Glendenning, which tue | matron ai once identitied, saying, ‘That is the | man, Mrs, Miller was here asked several questions by the Chairman touching her recollection of the actual conversation between her and those al- luded to, and she replied that it was too vividly | impressed on ner mind to be easily forgotten. Her examination was conducted ut great length, | 80 that, owing to the latevess of the hour, nearly all the other witnesses leit the church, Only three ladies and two gentlemen remained, ‘rhe examination will be contunued to-day and brought to a close, as the secretary of the com- Mittee announced that it would not be necessary to call all the witnesses. The committee, it 1s but just to state, labored most indetatigably, and did not even adjourn tor supper. ‘Their session lasted seven hours without intermission. They are de- termined to expedite the business so that the case may be reported to-aay to the Presbytery. One of the witnesses, Mr. Taison, a venerable gentleman; said:—"Although I cannot convent- ently attend to-morrow I will sink all other busi- ness, jor this is @ case where every man who has family should sustain the innocent, My son, how- ever, will be in attendance.” Another o1 the witnesses, Mrs, Bermingham, said:—“I wish they would call me to-night, for I can’t well get away to-morrow, but 1 must try and come anyhow, for 1 can tell something about What poor Mary said to me un her deathbed.” Such was the conversation between the ladies ani gentlemen who watched and waited patient within the cold church building, on a gloomy even- ing, when the rain was drizziing outside. The usual prayer meeting did not take place, The jolly looking Teutonic sexton warned off all those who came for that purpose by saying :—*‘Dere vill pe no brayer here to-night.

A pore Uon of the reports were printed in the Times, Standard aud Laity News, who exercised their own judgment what to publish or what to suppress, But in these cases, 1 understand, the Cork corre- spondents were notified not to repeat the offence, and they in due course apologized for not having expunged from their reports the 90-cailed “objec Uonable matter.”’ Our authorities have evideauy Jorgotten the Mordaunt divorce trial and the na ture of the amatter published aiter eaeh day's pro- ceedings.

Subsequently, however, they judgea that a good deal of the state. ment consisted of “objectionable matter’ and other corresgondence at Cork was stopped, The next morning the London papers were noti- fled in a lengthy document that their gozrespond. ents had placed matter on the wires, as ex- ; the roof of the shed in the coa: yard, or whether they were inflicted at some other time and place. | Wish this view the Coroner has sammoned Captain Ulman and several of his officers, some of the Tombs officials and also Justice Flammer. tracted from the American papers, Zelating to th 0 called Beecher-Tilton caso, whip could not be transmitted to London, view hat it must pass througa the hands of a numberof respectanle fe- male clerks, The Poat Oday painted the uray the.
