Most of the rioters aro Hun garian miners who have been employed in drying bituminous coal. They were brought to this country to work for lower wages than the American, Irish, Ve!uv German and other employen in th mines would accept. The niino ownm -ore protected from compe tition in, the price of coal produced outsid-f of the United States by a tariff of Tft ov.iU a ton) but the . laborers in tlnV'V 'were hot protected from com petition, with the cheapest labor that could be found in Europe. To sup plant these workmen, who would not receive paupnr wages from protected capital, these Hungarians were im ported by the thousands under promise of better treatment and better pay than they are receiving. Hence their riotous conduct and the angry shedding of blood. Their course is indefensible, and so is its cause, itiey iiavn imen wronceu, tie fraudod, robbed; but this u not strange, as protection itself is wrong, fraud and robbery.. The tree is known by its fruit. The aim of the protect-d cap italists lias been even while the lying pretence was on their lips that they wanted the tariff to "exalt American labor" to get the cheapest labor they could hire among tho poorest paul workingmen of Europe. Cheap labor and a high price for tho products of labor--whether coal, or iron, or salt, or any other commodity has been the purpose of greedy capitalists in their hypocritical clamor and corrupt methods lo obtain a high tariff. In the pursuit of their policy thes- poor Hungarians have been made their victims. Now tho victims aro turning criminals. Thus wrong begets wrong the last wrong always lieing the greatest. These wronged and robbed miners wronged lunjl robbed by protected capital can he arrestecl. nent to jail, idiot down, or hung, but these things are not much worse (hun lo lie doomed to work in Pennsylvania coul mines under their protectionist taskmasters. Between slow starvation ami sudden death there is not much preference. Their pro' tected employers cure less for them than if they were slaves in law, as they are in fact. They work for low wages, and then ere robbed of part of their poor pay by th? store-order system nnd by other devices of greedy capitul. The Hungarian consul at Pittsburg, who is striving for peace and to prevent mur der, says: "These men are very differ ent from American workmen, because they do not understand American laws and cannot speak the lanauage of the country. They have been wronged without a doubt. They have asked for a check-weighmaii and the abolition of the store-order sy tern. Iloth requests have been refused although the laws compel the mine owners to do just what was asked of them. I know of some men who were told they would get $1 CO a day. They worked three weeks and got ft each after their lodg ing had been deducted by the company. Unless something is done to prevent further imposition on them there will be urave trouble." Thero is no hir manity in cupital controlled by corpo rations. And these tariff-protected corpora- rations are double end plunderers First, they rob the workmen in their emp'oy by f ilse weights and then cheat them out of part of their low wages by the stare-order system. Second, they roii the public on the price of their commodities by means of a tariff which shields tliein from all outside compe tition. The robbed .niners are protest ins against the outrages on them in unlawful wayRj but the roblied public is a patient beast. This l-eing Sunday, let us prny that such wrongs may cease, and then let us not vole to sustain and perpetuate them. Jackson, (Mich.)

So far as known, the Uard has'omitted to state how a hos- tile scalp is to bo distinguished fron a r fricudly one. tliainc'i Rook. The second volume of Mr. P.laine's history, "Twenty Years of Congress," has just been issued. The following sketches of Democratic statesmen are taken from the same: I. Q. C. LAMAR. There is a style of mind in the East that delights in refined fallacies, in the reconciling of apparent contradictions, in the tracing cf distinctions and .re semblances where less subtle intellects fail to perceive their possibility. There is a certain Orientalism in the mind of Mr. Lamar strangely mixed with typ. ical Americanism. He is, full--"' tiecuun, !uii,o imn2ination. rwsmingly careless, yet closoly observant, np parently dreamy, yet altogether prac tical. It ts the possession of these contradictory qualities which accounts for Mr. Lamar's political course. His reason, his faith, his bope, all led him to believe in the necessity of preserv ing the union of the States; but he persuaded himself that fidelity to a constituency which had honored him, personal ties with friends from whom he could not part, the maintenance of an institution which ho was pledged to defend, called upon him to stand with the secession leaders in the revolt of 18G1. He was thus ensnared in the toils of his own reasoning. His very strength Is-camo his weakness. He could not escape from his proposed thraldom, and he ended by following a cause whose success could bring no peace, instead of maintaini ig a cause whose righteousness was the assurance of victory. ALLAN G. TIR'RMAN. The Democratic supporters of the Wiln.ot proviso had therefore choice of of two paths - they must abandon their antt slavery attitude or they mum leave the party. Mr. Thurmar. adhered to his party. With this exception his political course has been ouo of un swevring consistency and fidelity to all the extreme demands and severe creeds imputed upon the Democracy by the South. His Virginia birth, his rearing within t lie lines of the old Virginia military reservation in south ern Ohio, his early associations with kindred and with friends all contrib uted to his education as a Democrat. He naturally grew to strong infiuence with his associates, and when he came to tho Senate was entitled to bo con sidered the foremost man of his party in the nation. His rank in the Sen-tte was established frjm the day he took his seat, and was never lowered during the period of his service. Ho was an admirably disciplined debater, was fair in his method of statement, logical in his argument, honest in his conclusions. He had no tricks in discussion, no catch phrases to secure attention, but was always direct and manly. His mind was not preoccupied and en grossed with political contests or wilh affairs of state. He had natural and cultivated tostes outside of those fields He was a discriminating reader, and enjoyed not only serious books, but in clined also to tho lighter indulgence of romance and poetry. He was espec ially fond of the best French writers. He loved Moliere and Ilacine, and could quote with rare enjoyment the homorous scenes depicted by liulaic He took pleasure in the drama, and v. as devoted to music. In Washington he could usually be found in the best seat of the theatre when a good play was to lie presented or nn opera was to be given. These lasts illuitrato tho penial side of his nature, and were a fitting complement o the stronger and sterner elements of the man. His re tirement from the Senato was a serious to his party a loss indeed to the j body. He left behind him pleasant memoMO-i, and carried with him the respect of all with whom he had been associated with during his twelve yean of honorable service. SENATOR BECK. Mr. Deck had all the sympathy with the rebellion which was necessary to s 'cure popular support in Kentucky, j without which, indeed, a Democrat in that State has hal no chance for pro- motion since the war closed, lie nas grown steadily in Congress from the day of his entrance. He is honeht- i . . . .... . ... . i minded, straightforward, extreme in his views on many public questions,and though a decided partisan of southern! interests, he always had the tact ancf the good fortune to maintain kindly relat ens with his political opponeats a desirable end to which his generous, gift of Svotidr luimor has. essentially aided I tin.

The details have hereto fore been published and need- not bd repeated. During O'Noil's incarcera tion he acted most impudently and was irritable beyond ' endurance. He' asserted his innocence aiu proclaimed loudly that he would never lie exe cuted. Every effort was made, every delay courted in tho hope that some-; thing would turn up to give him lib-J erty. He hoped against hope and railed against fate, yet the inevitablcT closed in upon him and yesterday by order of the law and subserviency of its dignity, by tho proclamation written in Divine law gave his life as relributicns At 2:10 o'clock yesterday the doomed man was conducted to the gallows by' the sheriff, accompanied by Uev.

At 2:15 the drop fell, the law was vindicated, and the crirrrfll. fully avenged, death resulting in eii;h ' minutes. - - k Minister Vinlonfi Adrsnre. The Hon. Frederick II. Winston, says the Chicago News, is slowly lutf surely wending, his way toward the capital of Persia. At last accounts he ' was crossing the desert on the back of. a two-humped camel; his dragoman,' secretary and interpreter, Prince Wolf, von Schierbrand, tides a smaller camel!, that has only one hump. Thero are'. 43 camels in the caravan, but Mr. Win ston's is the only double humped one.' . At I'osh-el-Teliir the ahkoond of; Swat cama out with a vast retinue and , paid his respects to the distinguished1 diploumte, giving him 200 male and' female slaves, 600 pungaloes of drrVd1, tig 1G bangshees of prunes, 100', goatskins of SwatKeebah wine and four dozen green parrots. , This was a conspicuous honor. In1, return Mr. Winston presented the, ahkoond with a jack knife; six pounds) of colored glass beads, two cans of Chi-. cago pressed beef and a volume of the' Illinois Revised Statutes bound irv sheep. The festivities wound up with splendid banquet under the palm trees- a feast largely made up of broHeo? hyena steaks, vultures stuffed with' dates and pickled wild boars' feet Said the Uev Dr Puxtou at the rB jent annual dinner of the Typo, thetae: "At. the battle of Chan celiorville I was a private soldier,, and stood with my musket, trembling,,, a little fellow eighteen years old. The Chancellor house was burning. The Confederati had broken 'our Eleventh Corps, and my regiment was held to support five-piece of cannon. I was scared to death, and would have run,- Along our line caine General Hancock.
