The other defendants ther are favor ably dispos -d towards. The text of the "Eqaeal" was not made pubfic, but it was important to necessitate a postponement of the case be fore the Federal court as well as in the State tribunal. It is certain that when the three jail prisoners, Bowles, Broderien and Wilson, were brought over from the jail this morning and put in the cage in the marshal's office. Bowles sent word that he would see the district attorney. He was taken to Ewing's office and there confessed to General Manager Stone, Inspector Bonneld and Attorney Collier., The only di rect information as to the nature of the confession was a well denned rumor that a United States warrant had been issued lor the arrest of Hoee, who is out on $16,000 bond under the conspiracy charge brought under the State law. The crowd waiting in the Federal Court room was .again large and chiefly composed of Brotherhood mon, w hose looks, or sympatny cast on the prisoners as they were brought in, indicated tbeir appreciation oi the danger their comrades were in. Bowles came in vrithi the District Attorney and took a seat beside him opposite the other prisoners, who Hashed vindictive and- contemptuous looks at him. - He was visibly agita ted and moVed restlessly in bis seat, keeping hiV eyes on the floor before the attorneys. Before the Brother hood had a chance to interpose, Bowles, who was still trembling, was induced by the District I Attorney to rise quickly and waive an examination. A ' sensational scene ensued. The Brotherhood attorneys, Donough and David, protested loudly ' that they had been treated with great unfair ness, and given no show from the outset of the trial. Lawyer David hotly denounced commissioner Hayne, declaring, 4'We could expect nothing else frbm: the court, and hive received nothing else." The commissioner ordered David to be arrested by the marshal, bat the latter "did not at once comply, Jind David subseqently made a Pickwickian apology to the court. Bowles was released on $500 bail. After the court adjourned the heretofore reticent prisoner, Wilson Savage, denounced Bowles, ridiculing the idea that the latter was innocent, and exclaiming : "The chicken heart t he had laid down." , . - Note Orom Hendwion.

PiTTSBtBo, July 14 The great iron lockout-out is practically over and before the end of next week a gene ral resumption of mills is expected. There are still fifty firms in the man ufacturers' association that have not yet granted the demands of the work men. A meeting of these firms will probably be held hero Tuesday when it is presumed that they will decide to sign the scale. They still claim that the wages demanded by the Amalgamated Association are exces sive and that some mills will have to close down indefinitely. Prominent manufacturers said this afternoon ik. . . , - - . firms caused intense dissatisfaction among the members of the Association- '-It is almost certain," said one, "that some of the firms will with draw and the Association may b dis rupted. That would mean that here after we would have no organization to confer each year with the Amalga mated Association committee on the wage question. It would then re main for each firm to act individually each year and determine for them selves whether or not they would sign the scale.

Under instructions from the Secre tary of the Interior, Commissioner Stockslager has directed the Alabama & Chattanooga Railroad Company to show cause within thirty days why they should not be made to secure the restoration to the public domain of 72,054 acres of land situated within the indemnity limits of the Wills Val ley Railroad in Alabama. By the act of June 3, 1856, Congress made a grant of lands to the Wills Valley Railroad and another to the Northeast & South western Alabama Railroad. These companies were subsequently consoli dated under the name of the Alabama & Chattanooga Railroad Company. It ia claimed by the General Land Office that 72,054. acres were erroneously certified to the Wills Valley Road to make up a deficiency along the line of the Northeast & Southwestern Ala bama Road, and the two grants should not be treated; as heretofore, as one continuous grant, but as separate and distinct grants, and that the surplus indemnity land of one road should not be taken to make up iox a defi ciency in the other, j Th Weekly Crp Bulled. The weather crop bulletin for the week ending yesterday issued from the central office is put. In the Eastern and Central Dis tricts there has apparently been an average amount of rainfall during the week, which has been especially fa vorable to cotton and grain, and somewhat unfavorable to tobacco. In the Western District there has ap- artntly been a deficiency of rainfall, ut crops have not been very unfa- vorabiy anected. A little more rain would undoubtedly improve the con dition of all crops in this district. la aiiTustncts mere has been an excess of temperature and sunshine which, has been very favorable to cot ton.

From what can be learned down here, politic is in good condition in most of the neighboring counties to the west of us. The Democrats of Watauga, Ashe and Alleghany have just nominated Mr. Winfield S Farthing, of Wa tauga, for the Senate. He is a capa ble man, enjoys a largo popularity, and will be elected himself and strengthen the whole ticket. Our folks promise to carry Wa tauga this year by a handsome ma jority. They are united and confident while the "Tamaracks" (this being the local name given the Republicans of the tall timber section of Watftuga) are demoralized and . hopeless. The Democrats will pat out strong and acceptable men for the legislature and the county offices. By the way, could they dp better, than nominate for the House D. B. Dougherty, Esq , of Boone t None of our business, you know, but everybody in this part of the State knows of him as a culti aiSi Jentlqma.n. jp s& of the best party workers in the west. In Ashe there are, it is reported, some local troubles, but it is hoped they will be composed before the election. Ashe is a very close county and our friends do not often win a clean victory in it. This year the fact that a man who was in the party of revenue ruffians who murde ed the Snyders a number of years ago is the Republican candidate for Lieu tenant Governor, is depended upon to turn the stomachs of enough "Re publicans to give the county to the Democrats. Our friends ought to pool their issues and nominatethe strongest men. Alleghany is reported all right. She never denied the faith but once, and can be depended upon for a solid ma jority this year. Rev. Isaac Landers will probably be nominated for the House. In Wilkes the prospect is still ex cellent. Those admirable politicians. W. W. Barber and John E. McEwen, will doubtless bo nominated for the Senate and for sheriff, respectively. Several finst-class men are spoken of for the Home, among them Capt. John A. Cooper, John S. Cranor, Esq., and R. W. Colvard, Esq., The Wi'kes Democrats are thoroughly in earnest this year and are humping themselves for a victory along the line. The ''Old mountain Boy, as the statesman from Trap Hill is fond of calling himself, is very quiet thus far, and may conclude to let "some other good man" 'contest the Con gressional rase with Colonel Cowles. Tyre is not very fond of running un less there is something in sight Our excellent iaylorsviue corres pondent keeps our readers well post ed as to the pontics of Alexander county. The Democrats of that gilt ant little county are buoyant and at work, and expect to increase their ast majority. There will be no room in Alexander this year for the inde pendent foolishness. The convention on the 30th will put a full ticket In the field and put it through at the polls. If they will Organize in their townships, as it no ri looks like they will, and get out their voters, they can settle once and for all the inde pendent business, which has for years been the bane of their politics. In all the counties named the nom ination of Judge Fowle is the most acceptable one that could have been made, and if the balance of the State will do its duty as they will do theirs he will have the largest majority that has been secured in the State since the war. Sertoue Accident. The Hickory Press of this week says : On last Monday evenmg those of us who heard it wereBhocked when the news was brought to town that three of Mr. P. C. Hairs children had been seriously hurt. Some time in the afternoon Mon day George and Maggie Hall took their baby Bister for a- ride behind a horse thought to be perfectly safe for children to drive. The three children were en joy In their ride out toward the South Fori River, when the horse for some mys tenons and unknown reason became suddenly frightened and began to kick and run. ' Maggie says Bhe does not know how it occurred, but the baby was the first to fall from the buggy and she was next.

The Republican candidate for Gov ernor of North Carolina, O. H. Dock ery, seems noted for "never opening his mouth without putting bis foot in it." In a recent speech he as serted that the Democratic party were responsible for the war, and for the emancipation of the negro. This was a very bad break, and much more of the same sort of talk will divide the colored vote in a way most distressing to the party managers The Republican leaders have always laid stress on being friends of the netrro, but let the colored man once cret the idea that emancipation was merely a war measure; and not die tated by sympathy, and his independ ence will be a startling feature in the campaign. Incautious Mr. Dockery should be soundly lectured. Jtaeonte. Hiram Lodge, No. 40, A. F. & A.

Dr. Lincoln was very conservative in his expressions of opinion as to the probable result of these remedies.
