The hour of meetbg was fixfd at 10.30,1 but it was nearly an hoir later when the committee was called to order.; ' r J lr: William McDowell, a rather un devised gentleman with high forehead, crorno! with a suit of dark hair and looping about the ago of 38, which he staled he was, Was sworn and eiainined.

The witifessytnoa having a copy of oiie of the lett4"8, Gen.

After, .the delivery by Mr. Powderiy, of Jhe? seoond letter to Mr. QouldJ he saw Mr. Gould personally, ahdthat gentleman expressed ; a desire to meet Mr. Powderiy and ' himself on the I following i day. They met Mr. Gould' on the following : day at 11 o' click and were received into; the par lor! Mr. Hopkins joined in the inter tiew. I Mr. Gojuld: expressed himself so hstrolgly in favor kf arbitrating the dif ficulties that it i seemed to .the; : witness tha an agreement was sure to be reaeed They met again in the even ing! and Mr. Gould produced and read to Sr. PowderlyL as the result of the morning conversation, a' telegram: he proposed to send: to Mr. Hoxie. Mr. Godld read the telegram down' to the worlds, VWe see no objection: to arbi tratlhg any difficulties betweeh the em nloleea and the oomnanv. oast or fu ture," and then asked Mr. Powderiy if it vfas satisfactiry so far. Mr. Powderiy answered in the affirmative. Mr. Gould said. "Then let it end there." The witless Suetrested that Mr. Gould should fiutf the telegram into the form of a ettr to Mr. Ijowderly, and'Mr. Pow deriy agreed that if the general execu tiy board approved of the! rest of the let&r the men would be ordered back to wokAfterMr.Pbwderly left Mr. Gould plaied the letter in the witness ' hand, witli the nhdeiMtanding that if the order to go to work was issued, the border knd letlsr: were to be ' given to the 'press thai night. The order was issued an iy and the; letter were given to he press. ; He. afterwards saw Mr. Gonld : and told him that j Chairman O'Neill, of the House labor oommittoe, has met he executive committee and thef.commttee' had a copy of the pro poed arbitration '.bill. ' They discussed the bill together, the idea being that if th! bill passed arbitration could be had uiiSer the law, and if not psssed, the bill would bej the base of arbitration. Towards the end of the interview,: Mr. Gclild received i telegram Which seemed to disturb bim, and he said; there was something wrong in St. Louis. The wiiness said: "Don't, at this stage, split hairs. Tell Mr Hoxie in taking the min back to work to be blind." Mr Gould wished to see Mr. Powderiy! but that gentleman oould not go, and the Wness and Mrf Turner went to Bee Mr. Giuld, with the question from Powderiy: Do I ' understand from your ; personal letter of this date that your company re- aroitrauon, ana must a so teie- grkph : Martin Irons?"

The witness pro' eeeded witn toe History oi the feegotia tions for a settlement and read the tele grams which have already been pub lished. i Mr. Buchanan inquired whether, in fact, if an order for the men to go to work had been issued by the executive board as a result Of the negotiations and correspondence. The witness replied that such an or der had been issued the evening of March 28. The order was predicated! he said, on the correspondence and on an understanding that an actual solution had. been arrived at it was not until noon of the next day that any suggestion of kua uiiBuuucrouuiuiug uau reaoue mm. i The ultimate result was that three mem bers of the executive board Went to St. Louis. Hayes oould tell the ex"eeutive committee what took place there.! The witness was not present. Another at tempt was made at New Yorh-to bring about a conclusion, to which the witness was a party. He had met Cyrus Wi Field.

I'owaerly was sicx and una ble to so. and he. authorised me to rep resent him in attempting to reach a con elusion. He wrote and handed me-the. etter (reading the one already 1 pub ished). I went with it the next morn- ing to Jf ield s house, ue took : it to. Gould's house, where there was a con ference. He came to me in the af ternoon and told me that ' Gould said the strike was entirely ended; thai the only strike which existed was at East St. Louis, on the railroads in which he had no interest, except tlie Wabash, and that was in the hands of i United States court, and could hot be interfered with by the strikers. . :Field was called away; to .Boston, and bad to leave; after telling me what he did. I have not seen him since. .1 s Mr.' Crain : Was the strike ended isl fact? . ! u :. A li j Witness: I have felKthat the most complete viotory t$at Gould could gain over the men would be .the most! eonf piete failure to him; that the true out come of this thing, which wouldf have been the result of arbitration, l would have insured good will on both sides, and any settlement which did not bring tnat witn it was a complete iauure. Mr. Burns:' ; Have you sufficient evi dence to enable you to state that the men on strike in St. Louis would have promptly obeyed the order to 'resume work if Hoxie had complied with the order sent to him by Gould? Witness: 1 have not the slightest doubt of it. Mr. Burns:; Have you any evidence tending to show any secret instructions from Gould to Hoxie, inconsistent with his telegraphy dispatch, embodied in his letter to Powderiy? Witness: Nothing, except in Powder- ly's dispatch to the "letter of instrue- mvub uim auiu ui vwd . wi.uiii v" mw line. The witness here read circular No. 12tj, signed by Rockwell, directing that no foreman should be employed who was a Knight of Labor. J Mr. Crain: What was the original cause of this strike r Witness, in reply to this quest made a long statement, involving the difference between the principle of pay ment by day work and hw piece! work and quoted Gould as saying that, by making a change of that ; sort in the Western Union telegraph company, he had effected a' saving of oU per cent. This was so general that the order hid increased more in the month of Febru ary last than it had in the priori eight years. As an additional reason, he alleged that the universal system of wa tering railroad stock which ; made it necessary far railroad managers to screw down tne rates oi laoor as mucu a possi ble.

In two weeks' time brothers Morrison and Randall will "again unknit this cbeerlish knot of all aonorrea war. ana tne scenes ana in- eidents and mostly the same palaver of tne last uongress will again be inflicted on tne country. ; ihe newspaper corres pondents; here have completed a canvass of the House, undertaken with a view to ascertduBing, the relative strength of the j "protectionists" and revenue re formers. It is probable that Mr. Ran dall; will secure 23 Democratic " votes, including his own, against the bill, as .follows: All those from Ohio, 10; from Pennsylvania; 5; West Virginia,3; 1 from each of the States of New York, New Jersey, Maryland and California, and it is probable George D. Wise, of Virginia, will again vote with him. Messrs. Storm andSwope, Pennsylvania Democrats, will hot stand by Mr. Ran dall in his opposition to the present bill,! but ; have announced an intention to vote for ;it. The twenty-three votes, however, would serve to defeat for the measure if the Republicans were solid in their opposi tion to it. Such is not the ease, how ever, for there are certainly three, and there may be five, who will Bupport the bill. The passage of the new: bill, then, by amajority of two or four,? is regard- ed as about the figures a betting man would gamble on. In the last House, you will remember, the bill was defeat ed by a majority of two. Of course the bill would be killed in the Senate,; with out the benefit of clergy.'' even, if it passed the House; bo there is no pros pect of its becoming a law. LXGISIiATTVI LORS. The people of North Carolina will be glad to know that the prospects are very good for some legislation affecting the present internal revenue laws. A large number of this class of bills have been introduced, but the ones which appear to meet with most favor are ! that pro viding for the abolition of the tax oh brandy distilled : from fruit, !in certain eases ; and the bill prepared by Messrs.; Beid and Henderson, and introduced by tne latter, to moauv tne nunisnmenc for violations of the law, making it dis- eretipnary with? the judge in a great measure. As you were informed last week through your dispatches, the com mittee on the judiciary instructed judge Bennett to report this bill favorably, and Our delegation hope' and ; expect to see it pass both houses ; and this is the kind of ' 'revenue reform' ' we like to see brought about, f " i The House committee on education has reported favorably the Senate bill to introduce as a branch of study in the public schools of Washington and the Territories, instructions as to the effects Of intoxicants upon the human system. Petitions asking for the passage of this bill have been received from every tem perance organisation in the: country. The North Carolina legislature would do a wise "act'l by passing a : similar measure. In my opinion the operations of such a law would work wonders with the coming generation in educating them up to a life of sobriety and mo- TEX B1AK3 HAVB OOT THB.BLAIK BILL down today, and stock therein is on the decline.

The existing labor troubles: in this country elicit much earnest thought among, and is a source of grave appre hension with many of, the nation's leg islators. The Committee oh arbitration expect to have a number of witnesses before it this week, including; Gould and Powderiy; and next week : they go to the southwest, the scene of the prin cipil trouble. Dispatches ; from New York state that these gentlemen have not been subpoenaed, as heretofore tele graphed you, but that they;; will volun tarily appear before the committee. Mr Hopkins is expected to arrive today CWednesdav when he will irivev his views on the question. A largely-attended labor mass meeting was held here Monday night. A number of prominent Knights and several Congressmen de livered addresses.. The burden Of nearly all the speeches, especially those of the the Knights of Labor organization, was that they should and would break away from slj existing political party ties and form a political organization of their own at no distant day; that they Would accomplish their ends by the bal lot rather than by the bullet. To an unprejudiced outsider, however, it is not clear how a purely workingmen's party would embrace a majority of the voting population, unless the agricultu ral element, which constitutes, one-third of the people of this country; could be induced to join such an organization. Both the old parties, especially the dem ocratic parjy, seem disposed to remove any real grievance the working people may have, and especially where toey hold the balance of power men are apt to be ' nominated for offices ; who are kindly disposed toward them. This advantage they would throw away by nominating third candidates who could not hope to be elected. As a distinctive oroDOsition of 'canital versus labor, I am for and with the laboring man every time; but it is not always wise and it sometimes does not pay to be politically too independent. pxncil pajjwgs. r Mrs. Bynum, of North Carolina, who has been visiting Mrs. Senator Vance in this city, has returned to her Morgan ton home.;;:, , , ; ; .

Mr. Call offered a resolution whioh, on his motion, was referred to ther judiciary committee, directing, that committee to it quire whether any legislation is neces sary and if so what to require the Uni ted btates courts, when they take posses sion of railroad property in any State, to carry into effect the obligations of the charter of incorporation granted by such State, and to prevent the violations of the same by such courts snd offi' cers thereof and the wrongful: appro- priation of the assets and receipts of sUch corporation in the interest of indi- viduals. In -offering the; resolution Mr. Call referred to his recent speech on the Florida land grants, especially in con nection with the Florida railroad com pany in which he had commented on the course pursued by the United States court and ithe conduct of the receiver appointed by it. Mr. Call read a letter received by him from thej receiver which stated that the information on whilh some: of his (Call's) statements were founded was false and malicious. Mr. Call said he had no reason to sup pose the receiver was not an honorable and truthful man, but was Obliged to add that the: gentleman from whom he (Call) had i received information was equally honorable and truthful, and the facts were as stated.; The judiciary committee! should 'give the matter se rious consideration, f : The Senate took up and disposed of private pension billss By 3 o'clock about 400 "of these bills had been passed. comprising all suoh bills on the calen dar, with the exception of half a dozen.

In the: morning hour the House re sumed the consideration of the bill for the relief of the Alabama flood sufferers, and it was suggested by Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, who thought theUouse was justi fied, under: precedents, throughhumani ty in giving the relief. Mr. .Beach, of INew I or k, while he was willing to put his hand in his own pocket for relief of Alabama suffer- erg was : not willing to ; indulge his sympathy or benevolence by putting his hands into the pockets of others; It was time that a stop should be put to this kind: of legisla tion, and it was the DemocraUo party which should put a stop to it.

Any number: pf : amendments were offered for an in i orease of existing items or .insertion of new ones, but no others of the California kind; all were unsuccessful. 1 j Mr. egley, of Pennsylvania, raised a point of order against the j clause of the bill which directs the secretary of j war to negotiate for the purchase of the works of the Monongahela navigation company, or in the exercise of his dis cretion to acquire them by oondemna-1 tion or seizure. . ; j : .

The condition of affairs at Strye among the people who : lost their homes by the great fire is most! pitiful.! Meat of the victims are with, i out food or means and are rendered dee- perate , by the thought of starvation. Farmers in. the vicinity have .been vis ited by mob of men who have first de manded food and then, if refused, atolen it. Owners of farms are now compelled to barricade their houses as the-j only way to guard: them from being plun dered of food by the mob which, on ac count of hunger, is becoming uneontrol able. Numerous struggles for jfood, resulting in bloodshed, have taken place All the public archives and registers of Strye were lost in the fire. It willibe necessary to ask grants of money from the Lemberg diet and the Reichstag to relieve the distress of thousands of des titute people. The search for tie re mains of persons who lost their lives during the conflagration has been pro ceeding as rapidly as circumstances Would allow. Thus far sixty-eight bodies, charred so as to make recognition diffi cult, have been taken from the ruins. There have been twenty deaths in the fields since Sunday, of invalids, young and old, who were taken out of town to escape the flames. (1 ; Cottaa Fatarvs. j : !' : Nbw York, April 21.
