The Constitutional Convention is pro
gressing slowly yet wisely and cautious
Jy in the work before it. In tho two
weeks they have been in session none
of the more important questions have
Leon finally disposed of save the elec
tive- franchise and tho militia. The
former has been changed in tho timo
of residence for qualification of voters,
to one year in the State and six months
in the county. Ihe terms of tho latter
do not materially differ from thoso of
tho old Constitution. The per diem has
been fixed at $4 per day, and mileage
at ten cents per mile, and it is under
stood this will bo tbo amount allowed
members of the Legislature. The con
vention by unanimous voto determined
to submit the Constitution when framed
to the people for ratification. A report
has been made by one of tho commit
tees favoring the abolition of the Med
ical, Agricultural and Geological Bu'
leans’. There is a powerful number of
ordinances, amendments, eto., before
tbe vatious committees, which it wiil
take timo to dispose of. and the mcm
hers seem disposed to make their work
perfect as they progress, and the people
have every reason to expect that the
changes mude will be such as will meet
the present wants and necessities of tho
country.
Tho columns of our daily exchanges
havn fairly overflowed this week with
news from the great railroad strike in
Maryland and Pennsylvania. We print
in this issue a telegraphic account of
the awful riot at Pittsburgh, the scenes
ofbloodsbed, plunder, and incendiarism
being ahead of anything perhaps before
witnessed in tho United States. Tho
strike was caused by a reduction of the
wages of the employes of tho leading
roads of those States and the feeling of
sympathy spreading among tho work
ingmen of various classes has engender.,
ed a dissatisfaction productive of the
most lamentably damaging results. It
is the undoubted convictions of the
wisest of our public men that the great
troubles arise from the effects the un
wise resumption policy of the govern
ment is having upon the industries of
tho country, and the laboring man’s
rights being continually trampled upon
is beginning to assort itself in a some
what dangerous form. An early repeal
of tho resumption act will be strongly
urged upon Congress which will doubt
less assemble at an early day. Tho
strikers themselves, as a general thing,
it seems, are vory orderly in their man
ners, but their sympathizers among the
lower classes of humanity incite trouble
in most instances to get opportunities
lor plunder. Yet the country is in nat
urally a discontented attitude, and a
speody remedy may alone prevent more
troublq and of a more serious charac
ter,
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wasiiington, I). 0- July 23,1877.
Editor Calhoun dimes :
Of the strikes and riots at Martins
burg, Cumberland, Baltimore, Pitts
burg and other points, it is useless for
me to give details, as you will have
them by telegraph before this reaches
vou. Their extent is unprecedented in
this country, and many fear that the
worst is yet to come. The immediate
losses of property to railroad compauic3,
vviSle large, and of life though consid
erable, are not what causes the groatost
uneasiness. If the enormous corpora
tions of tho country which conduct
half its business, can no longer furnish
pay upon which their employes can
Hvq, wo have a condition of things
which gives no hopo of a return to bet
ter times, and which, at least, will re
quire years to coirect. The open vio
lence of the past few days cannot of
course continue long,' but while its
cause remain we shall sleep upon n
volcano, and an eruption may occur at
any time in the most unexpected place.
There was a temporary fear of dan
ger to the Treasury here, but that has
present,
vta Oioujt■! f “pp ,t r c, 1 t <( 1 1. .jo
Potomac was alivo with pleasure seek
ers.
The arrival of Genera) Hancock at
Baltimore had an excellent effect. Gen
eral Hancock, both by reason of the
popular regard for him, and because he
is the most clear headed and energetic
of our high officers, was the fittest of
men fur the emergency, lie will have
command of the troops in Maryland,
V. T cst Virginia and Pennsylvania, and
if Ohio, New Jersey and New l r ork
should neel Federal troops, of th se
also.
What effect tluse great troubles may
hnye on the politics of the country cau
not, of course, be told. That they will
produco an immediate chango in the
specie resumption polny of tbo admin
istration is not likely, for even the fear
of a political defeat in Ohio had al
ready caused Mr. Hayes to announce a
change in his own convictions.
The subject of calling Congress to
gether at once was much discussed yes.,
terday. Mr. FJaycs and his cabinet
evidently wishing to share tho respon
sibility with tho Legislative branch of
tho government.
Some months ago several prominent
gentlemen made an attempt—apparent
ly an honest one —to break up gamb
ling hero. The attempt to convict any
gambler here was a failure, the prose,
cutors alleging, because the detectives
of the city were in league with them,
and bull-dozed the witnesses. Tho on
ly results of tho raids were theso The
principal prosecutor, Mr# Nuntagh, of
tho Republican, lost Federal offico,
and John A. Grow, his counsel, was
yeßteiday arrested by the detectives on
a charge of forgery.
Avery strong effort will bo made
next winter to revive and make practi
cal tho eight hour law. This is talked
of by many men familiar with the ways
of Congress and who know many of its
members. The current disturbance
among laboring men seems to have only
brought this fact to public notice, as
many Congressmen bad already decided
to call attention.to the subject.
The presenco here of Sargeant-at
arms Thompson had tho effect of draw
ing attention once more to the Speak
ership of the House of Representatives.
Unless existing troubles outside of pol
itics shall materially effect political af
fairs there is now hardly a chance to
elect anybody but Randall. He seems
to have had the lead at the first, and to
have gained steadily.
A rumor was around town to-day
that Secretary Sherman would resign
as soou as the railroad troubles through
cut the country were over ; or, if they
continued long, then he would resign
in the midst of them. There is more
appearance of probability to this than
any other reported cabinet change un
der this administration.
Very truly yours,
Reno.
The Railroad Riot at Pittsburgh,
Pittsburgh, July 22.—The crisis
of the railway strike of this city was
reached yesterday afternoon about five
o’cloek, when the Philadelphia troops,
who had been sent here to suppress the
strikers, fired upon the crowd. The
terribly fatal effects of the shots firod*
by the troops exasperated tho citizens
as well as the strikers, and in less than
an hour thousands of workingmen from
the rolling-mills, coal mines and various
manufacturing establishments hurried to
the scene of tho conflict, determined to
have revenge on the troops and railroad
officials. It was stated that General
Pearson, commander of the Sixth Di
vision of the State Guards, had direct
ed tho troops to lire, before any resist
ance had been made ; and the fact that
many of thoso killed aud wounded had
gathered ou the hillside merely as spec*
• f-.tors served to increase tho bitterness
0! tho crowd.
By 8 o’clock in the evening, mobs
were moving about the city iu various
directions, sacking stores to secure
arms, breaking into the armories of the
military companies and preparing them
selves to execute the threats freely ex
pressed of massacreing the entire Phil
adelphia company. By this time the
military had withdrawn from the rail
way crossing at Twenty-eighth street,
where tho first conflict took place. They
were ordered to one of the ro and-houses
where they could find better protec*
tion.
About ten o’clock in the evening, a
mob numbering several thousand had
congregated about the round house.—
They had previously cap'ured the guns
belonging to Hutchinson’s battery, a lo
cal organization, and planted them so
as to command the round-houses. Sev
eral solid shots were fired at the build
ing, and a breach made in the walls ;
but when the infuriated mob attempted
to rush into the building, the military
were ordered to fire. The volley of
musketry whijh followed, and the ru
mor that the Gatling guns of the com
mand were being brought into requisi
tion caused a panic, and (he mob fled
precipitately for sovoral squares, the
military meanwhile keeping up a fusi#
lade. The rioters, however, were flock
ing to their assistance, and they return
ed to the attack. Finding it difficult
to dislodge the military from (he build
ing, they resolved to burn (hem out.
An order to this effect was issued,
and it was carried into execution withja
fiendish alacrity by the rioters. Asa
consequence of the blockade, which had
existed for tw> days, the sidewalks in
the outer depot yards, as well as those
extending eastward some three or four
miles, were crowded with freight cars
filled with grain, products and marchau
-1 disc of j; kinds ; bdo which a num
weTe piled up in the mass. While a
portion of the mob surrounded the
building iu which the military had tak
en refuge, large bodies proceeded o set
fire to the oil cars, and in a moment
the huge volumes of blaok suiock which
tolled upward*, followed by lurid flames
reaching out in every direction, told
that the work of destruction had com
menced. The sight of the flames seem
ed to literally craze the rioters, some of
whom rushed wildly about with flaming
torches iu their hands, applying them
to the ears indiscriminately. An alarm
was sounded, and the department
promptly respond but the rioters,
who had complete control of the city,
refused to permit them to make any ef
fort to extinguish the flames. They
said they were determined to destroy
the railway company’s property, but
would do no injury to that belonging
to private citizens. They kept their
words, too ; and when a lumber pile
belonging to a citizen took fire the riot
ers themselves turned in and helped to
extinguish the flames, and remove the
lumber to a safo place. Train after
tiain was fired by the crowd, but the
oars were so far distant from tho round
house that the heat did not seriously
affect tho military, although their posi
tion ws one of peril.
Finally a large party of strikers cap
turod a car filled with coke, which
they ran from the Allegheny Valley
railway track to a siding connecting
with the Pennsylvania railroad. They
then procured large quantities of pe
troleum oil, and, pouring it over tho
coke, ignited the materials. In a very
few moments the car was a mass of fire,
and was then pushed along the track
and forced against the round-house.—
Tho building was soon ignited, and the
soldiers were now compelled to prepare
to fight their way out through the fren
zied mass of humanity clamoring for
their blood. The building did not burn
as rapidly as desired ; and the mob,
bent on revenge, rushed out the road
and sent burning trains toward the
doomed buildings. From midnight un
til 5 o’clock this morning the main of
forts of tho crowd were diiected to
firing the buildings aud cars, but about
half an hour later, the mob which had
been besieging the military left, for
some unexplained reason. This affurd
ed the tioops, who were in actual dan
ger of being roasted alivo, an opportu.
nity to emerge from the building, and
they succeeded in reaching Liberty
street in a very few moments. They
quickly formed in line, aud marched up
to Thirty-third street, and thence to
Pennsylvania avenue and Butler street.
Their objective point was the United
States arsenal, on Butler street, where
they expected to obtain shelter. While
turning into Butler street, however, the
leaders of the mob had discovered their
letreat, and fully oue thousand men,
fully armed and supplied with ammu
nition, started in pursuit. Somo of
the troops fired at citizens, either acci
dentally or intentionally, as they were
moved along, and this added fury to
the cry for revenge. When they reach
ed the arsenal, the commander refused
to admit them. He said he had but
ten men, and would bo powerless to
hold the place if the mob should at'
tack it. He consented to take care of
the wounded, and they were according
ly carried into the hospital. The main
body of the troops continued their
march out Butler street, a fusilade be
ing kept up on them by the mob as
they moved forward. The shots fired
killed one of the soldiers before they
reached the arsenal, and nearly oppo
site tho cemetery gate, fully a mile
above the arsenal, two others were kill
ed, and were lying on the sidewalk
They continued their flight and crossed
over to the North side of the Alleghe
ny river, on tho Sharpsburg bridge, the
mob following them as rapidly as pos
sible. After reaching the north side
the troops scattered, and in this way
the mob was scattered into very small
bodies.
In the meantime the city wa3 in a
state of anarchy. Thousands who had
not joined in the pursuit of the fleeing
troops gathered about the burning
buildings and trains, and assisted in
spreading the flames wherever they had
not been applied. By 7 o’clock the
fire had extended from Millvale station
to Twentieth street aud enveloped han
dreds of cars. Tho extensive machine
shops, two round-houses, the depot, and
the office of the Union Transfer Com
pany, the blacksmith shops, the store
houses, and numerous buildings mak
ing up the terminal facilities of this
mammoth corporation. In tho round
houses were 125 locomotives, all first,
class, which had been housed in conse.
quence of the strike. These were to.*
tally destroyed. But even the immense
loss which will be sustained in this item
alone is but a trifle in the aggregate
damage done.
The scenes transpiring on Liberty
street aloDg the line of which the tracks
of the railroad run, simply beggars de*
scription, While hundreds were en
gaged iu firing the cars and making
certain of the destruction of the valu’
able buildings at the outer depot, thou
sands of men, women and children en„
gaged in pillaging the cars, aud then
ihe contents would be thrown out and
carried off by those bent on profiting
by the reign of terror existing. The
street was almost completely blockaded
by persons laboring to carry off the
plunder they had gathered together.—
In hundreds of instances wagons were
pressed into service to enable the thieves
to get away with their goods. Mayor
McCarthy, early in the day, endeavored
to stop the pillage, but the handful of
men at his command were unable to
control tho crowd, who were desperate
in their anxiety to secure goods. At
one time the pillage was qhecked, but
the mob fired the cars, and then pro
ceeded with the work of destruction. —
It is impossible) to form any idea of the
amount of goods stolen, but hundreds
of thousands of dollars will not cover
the loss. Some of the seeues, notwithr
standing the terror which seemed to
paralyze peaceable and orderly citizens,
were ludicrous in the highest degrees ;
and no ono seemed to ei-joy them with
a greater zest, than tho e engaged in the
,vli; rUrder. Here a brnwnv wo
man -.oulu L -' seen harrying away with
pairs of white kid slippers tinder her
arms. Another carrying an infant
would be rolling a barrel of flour aloDg
the sidewalk, using her feet as the pro
pelling power. Here was a man push
ing a wheelbarrow loaded with white
lead. Boys hurried through the crowds
with large-sized familv Bibles as their
share of tho plunder, while scores of
females utilized aprons and dresses to
carry flour, eggs, dry goods, etc. Bun
dles of umbrellas, fancy parasols, hams,
bacon, leaf lard, calico, blankets, laces,
and four were mixed together in the
arms of robust men, or carried on has
tily constructed handbarrows.
At 11 o’clock in the morning it be
came apparent that something must bo
done to ch“ck the mob ; and a number
of citiz ms hurriedly prepared notices
calling a mass mooting of citizens at
the old City Hall to take measures to
prevont the further destruction of prop
erty. The meeting was held at noon,
and a large number of leading citizens
responded to the call. It was deoided
to appoint a oommitte consisting of
Bishop Trigg, of the Catholio church,
James Parke, Jr., Dr. E. Donnallj,
James J. Bennett, and Dr. S. F. Seo
vell, pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, to havo a conference with the
rioters, while another committee was
appointed to wait on the railroad au
thorities to ascertain what course they
intended to pursue, or to suggest a com
promise that would put au end to the
disorder existing. Tho meeting then
adjourn'd to meet at 4 o’clock in tho
aftornoon.
The committee to wait on the rioters
failed to induce them to refrain from
further destruction of property j and
the railway authorities could not ba
found. From the time the military de
parted up to 3 o’clock in tho afternoon
no effort had been made to check tho
riot, other than the meeting of citizens
referred to. The mob worked very
quietly, and it was a noticeable fact
that few of tho railroad employes were
engaged in the work of destruction. —
Hero and there a man who had been
discharged might be seen heading a
crowd, but generally the ringleaders
were men who had never been employ
ed on any railway. Many half.grown
boys were foremost in the woik of de
vastation, and vied with tho older ones
in their eflorts. The operations were
carried on very quietly ; and the multi
tude of men, women and children who
filled the streets and occupied positions
on the hillside south of tho railway
looked on with astonishment, while tho
destruction of property continued.
Tho railroad buildings destroyed were
as follows ;
Two roundhouses.
One machine shop.
The Superintendent’s office.
Tho car repair shop.
The blacksmith shop.
Three or four oil houses.
The Union Transfer depot and of"
fi< ea.
The Pullman Car Company’s laundry
and offices.
Tho dispatcher’s offioo.
The powder-house.
The Union depot and hotel.
The Pan Handle railroad engine
house, general office and freight depot.
The freight depot of the Adams Ex
press Company.
About five o’clock the fire from
the Union depot communicated to the
immense grain elevator, corner of Grant
and Washington streets. This w T as
built of huge timbers aud covered with
slate. It contained a large quantity of
grain. The destruction of these build
ings seemed to gratify the rioters, as
they began to disperse while they were
burning. Most of those who composed
the crowd loaded themsolves down with
plunder and wended their way home
ward.
