Mr. Tilden positively and emphat ically contradicts the report that he had the slightest to do with bringing ■ triumphant. Troops and militia from \ uriu.is points have been ordered to I he scene of t rouble, quite a number have been killed- and wounded, bat still the strike continues. As a result of this move on the pail of the aggriev ed railroad operative^ a cnH has been issued for a general meeting of rail road men connected with trunk lines and connections, to he held in Hew York next week, for the purpose ot combining against the Engineers’ Brotherhood and Train Men’s Union, each road to determine, after a certain date, to employ no one belonging to a trade organization hereafter.

The Russians having crossed the Balkans are steadily gaining advan tage of the Turks, and it now seems only a question of time as to their final victory over the Turks. It is reported that the Sultan and some of his me.st prominent officials are favor able to an armistice and a settlement of troubles without further bloodshed, biit the more pugilistic young Turks object, and are in favor of trying it awhile lunger. Though tlieir judg ment may be bad, yet we say, bully for their ltlood. The Chronicle <fc ('outfit ativna/ixt has this to say : The continent of “ a distinguished Georgian” upon the Constitutional Convention has not, so tar as wo have seen, been published correctly. The distinguished Geo'r- gian was Judge l.oehrane, and his re mark was that “on the first day of its meeting the Convention abolished the Constitution, on the second it insulted liie Governor, ami on the third it re piidiau-d Gou Almighty." Neat but. oam'htv. 'i he Const imtional Conventiutt m* far has not met the expectations of the |>coplo. Believing that the Con dition would set itself actively and earnestly to work in a most dignified and statesmanlike manner, for the improvement of our organic law, the jcople little expected to see on the The bloodshed which resulted from the attack on the militia in Baltimore mi Friday i ight was repeated in Pittsburg Monday. The firemen ami brakemeti who are resisting the reduction of ten per cent from their wages tisprojK-sed by the Pennsylva nia Railroad Company collected at the ctiter depet of the company s»t Pittsburg. An order was given to the State militia to clear the track. Immediately the troops attempted to carry out this order they were stoned and fired at by the mob. After a few seconds the militia fired into the crowd, inflicting severe punishment, killing six' and wounding eleven. A di patcli from Widdiu says: “ New s has readied here that on Fri day a large Russian force attacked the Turks under Osmati Pacha, cov ering Plevna, a town twenty-five miles south of Nicopolis. Osman Pacha made a successful defence. After a conflict of ten hours the Rus sians were defeated and retreated, abandoning tlieir dead and wounded. The Ottoman loss was comparatively small.” Notwithstanding this re|»or- ted victory, dispatches from Shumla show that panics prevail both at that place ami at Varna. A telegram from Tiflis, dated July *20, says that during the !a«t twenty- one days the bombardment of Kars by the Rus-ians has been continual. An average of two hundred shells per day have been thrown into the town, hut many i-f them have failed to ex plode. The Turks have fired 18,000 shells during the same time. They have H sufficient siipply of ammoiii- part of delegates so much, of that tion for 125 days, including a stock blind prejudice which, if carried into | of shells which may he expended at effect, must not only prevent our In-! the rale of 500 for each day.

The Awful Northern Emeute. From the columns of the Mncon Telegraph, wc clip the following: The tidings to-day are simply ap palling. The spectacle is presented of thousands of operatives, laborers and employees of every description handing together and defying those they serve, and even waging war against the constituted authorities and the flag of the United States. They have been joined by the lower crust of society—those repre senting the crime, |>overty jipd indo lence of the community, and now, forgetful of the proper issues in volved, the contest has assumed an agrarian and communistic aspect which finds its vent in arson, whole sale robbery and bloodshed. Millions of property have been de stroyed, and the insensate mob. ut terly oblivious to anything save rapine ami pillage, are now gutting the loaded ears filled with the property of private imlividuals, and burning, ravaging and rioting wherever tlmy move. Powerful States have confessed their inability to check the rising storm, and do not scruple to call on the general government for aid. It has been deemed necessary that General Hancock should be sent to tlie front; the President and Cabinet are in anxious consultation, and it is even urged that Congress should he assembled in extra session forthwith. This is a tremendous state of affairs in tuc order-loving, peau -nhlc North. We can but hope that the strong ami of the law, backed: by. all the physical force of the government, will sjicedily prevail, and a death blow he inflicted itpOii those intole- raut and dangerous Union' associa tions which seek to control capital and make labor dominant and su preme. It will he a fearful lesson to the misguided creatures, hut we trust will prove salutary in the end. It will he a fearful lesson to the misguided creatures, hut we trust will prove salutary in the einl^. Tin re is an old saw tluuMj^it is an “ ill wind that blows nobody any good.” And this is litterally ‘true? in the present instance. Hence forward, our Northern friends will be unable to throw in the teeth of the South the charge of lawlessness and kukluxism, and revamp the lies circulated concerning their treat ment of the negro race. A bigger crime has been committed lit home, and now in very shame, they must hold their peace. v ‘ But what, oh, what w’ould be the plight of our unfortunate people, if this carnival of blood and plunder had been |»erj»etrated upon what was formerly Confederate soil. Nothing short of the overthrow of local government, the garrisoning of the country tvhbarmed soldiers, and another chapter of reconstruction would have been the result. * Let us not lie so uncharitable as to wish that similar evils may befall our bret hren North of Dixie. Compared with these, their present troubles would be lighter than gossamer, aud almost imaginary. The Hampton Government in South Carolina is .preparing to.bring some of the late dishonest State offi cials to punishment. C’ardozo, Chftmbcrluin’s State Treasurer, has been arrested, charged with misap propriation of the public funds, and it is probable he is only the first of a large number of ex-officials who will be brought to trial. Hayti, not t<v be behind St. Domin go, is getting up a revolution of her own.
