Washington, July 20.—A com-
mittee from Louisville, consist-
ing of Gen. John P. Harlan,
George P. Dorr, A. Julius Bank-
house, Gov. E. L. H. Murray
and John W. Karney, waited on
the President to invite him and
his cabinet to visit the Louis-
ville Exposition. The invitation
was accepted.
The First Assistant Postmas-
ter General has no idea of re-
signing.
French Minister Noyes sailed
from Philadelphia, on steamer
Illinois.
There was a full cabinet, ex-
cept Secretary Sherman.
William E. Copeland, corres-
pondent of the New York Bul-
letin, was appointed special
financial agent of the treasury
department.
The Star says: A delegation
of business men, irrespective of
party affilliations, from the third
and fifth districts of North Car
olina, are expected hereon Mon-
day, to urge upon the President
the necessity of changing the in-
ternal revenue officers in their
districts. It is claimed that the
present officers put up jobs on
dealeis to violate the law, so
that they may reap benefit of
the fees. This demonstration is
in response to the recent letter
from the revenue agent in North
Carolina to the commissioner of
internal revenue, to the effect
that all classes in North Caro-
lina obstructed the collection of
Federal taxes. The delegation
will show that they only object
to the improper, oppressive and
illegal acts on the part of the
revenue officers.
The Cotton Worm.
Galveston, July 20.—Cotton
worms nave appeared in consid
erable numbers in Lavaca, Fort
Bend, DeWitt, Gonzales. Wash-
ington, Austin, Colorado, Liber-
ty, and other counties near the
coast. It is reported that they
have already done great damage
in the Guadalupe valley. The
demand for poisons of all kinds
is unprecedented. As an evi-
dence of thie, it is stated that
Preston & Robra sold yesterday
eleven hundred dollars worth of
their worm destroyer. Thesup-
ply of arsenic in this market has
been entirely exhausted, but a
fresh supply will be on the mar
ket in a cay or two. The whole-
sale drug houses have an abund-
ance of Paris green and all other
poisons, except arsenic.
Failed.
Pottsville, Pa., July 20.—Ow-
ing to the general depression,
the First National Bank of Ash-
land, in this county, has gone

Thirty Days Notice.
Chicago, July 20.—The saving
banks have all availed them-
selves of.thirty days notice.
Washington, July 20.—The
train eastward from Martius-
burg has reached Baltimore.
The westward train has reached.
Cumberland. The strikers re-
raaiu defiant. At Keyser, along
the central division, between
Bellair and Newark, the firemen
have struck, and have refused to
allow new men to take the
places. The civil authorities
declare themselves powerless.
Sepp, the ringleader at Martins-
burg, was arrested, but was re-
leased on four hundred dollars
bail. At a Meeting at Grafton,
with delegates from other points,
the striker resolved to slick
together, but will compromise if
possible. A committee was
appointed to confer with the
railroad managers.
Pittsburg, Pa., July 20.—A
large meeting of strikers resolv-
ed to demaud the wages prior to

nia militia on duty, to assist

Martinsburg, W. Va., July 20.
—The following is published :
Hd’qrs U. S. Troops, )
JVlartinsburg, VV. Va., 8
.July 20, 1877. J
Due notification having been
given by the proclamation of the
President, to those eoueeened,
the undersigned warns all per-
sons engaged in the interruption
of travel ou the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad that the Umtsd
States troops must not be impe-
ded, and whoever undertakes it
do so at their own peril.
[Signed] Wi. H. French,
Brevet Major U. S. Army, com-
manding.
Troops have been ser.t to Key-
ser, where two hundred strikers
are now gathered.
Keyser, W. Va., July 20.-The
troops here are powerless to do
anything beyond protecting
themselves.
Wheeling, W. Va., July 20.—
A party of railroad men brought
from Steubenville, Ohio, to
take the places of the strikers,
were warned off at the peril of
their lives.
Buffalo,^N. Y., July 20.—Or-
ders were received at the Erie
shipping office to take no stock,
oil account of the strike in the
vicinity of Hbrnellsville. The
men quietly quit the trains, and
there" were np relays to carry
them on. It is rumored that the
same acti-ou occurred ou the
Lake Shore railroad at Cleve
laud, Ohio.
Pittsburg, July 20.—It is be-
lieved here that if the Pennsyl-
vania railroad men hold out, the
Pan Handle an ; Fort Wayne
men will join the strike. The
strikers say that in case the men
of these roads join, the men of
the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern will do likewise. A
strong effort will be made to
stop all freight traffic between
the east and west, and so bring
the railroad companies to terms.
There are nine hundred loaded
cars ou the track between the
union depot and East Libery.
As fast, as trains arrive here the
men join the strike. By mid-
night, probably fifteen hundred
loaded cars will lie blocked here.
Harrisburg, Pa., July 20.—
Gov. Hartranft has issued
a proclamation against the
strikers.
Martinsburg, W. Va., July 20.
—Numerous arrests of ring-
leaders. A train was cut off at
John’s Bun this afternoon, but
coupled up again and proceeded.
Two squads of soldiers have
gone there.
Newark, Ohio, July 20.—No
freights are allowed to depart.
The strikers say they will uot
stop any passenger or mail
trains, aud that no torpedoes
aie to be placed on the track.
The Sheriff read the riot act
without effect.
Pittsburg, July 20.—A meet-
ing of strikers was held, at
which the following dispatch,
signed by P. F. Donohue, was
received with the wildest
cheers *
“Hornellsville, N. Y., July
20.—The firemen and brakes
men on the Erie railway quit
work this morning.”
The formal reading of Gov.
Hartranft’s proclamation, by
Sheriff Fife, was received with
hoots and cries from the crowd,
it is understood in an angry
spirit, of “Who are you.” “Give
us bread,” etc. Finally, to the
question by Gen. Pecrson, who
supported Fife, “Will you allow
tfains to go through t” a dozen
voices cried “No.”
The military called out this
morning, and stationed at the
outer depot and points along the
road, are inadequate, and could
not suppress a riot should one
occur. There appears to be a
determination among the men
at the yard to stop all trains,
notwithstanding the military,
and serious trouble is anticipa-
ted if the military try to open
the Blockade.
