A Washington correspondent gays that the recent labor riots bait the.efie&t" to reduce the estimated receipts of internal revenue during the past month at least $1,000,000. The internal revenue receipts in July were only $8,764*574. The custom receipts were $10,060,860. Frank Walworth, who was sentenced to impirißonment for life for the murder of his sassier, at the Sturtevant House, in New York city, has been pardoned. It is stated that the mental condition of the young man was the fact which operated most strongly in influencing the Governor’s action. The worry of England over the sad spectafele of «ur riots is. turned to the contemplation of a little display of a similar character at home j ust now. A mob of 6,000 attacked a hotel at Grimsby, a few nights ago, where an unpopular Member of Parliament was stopping, and tried to burn it. A number ; of persons were injured, and troops were called out to suppress the disturbance. A witness before the Coroner’s jury at Reading, Pa.,_ stated that five cartloads of stones were, thrown at the Fourth Pennsylvania Regiment while it was passing through the deep cut at that point. These were nearly all thrown before the first shot was fired by the troops. Five cart-loads of wellaimed stones was a good deal for either human nature or raw militia nature to stand, and little wonder the men fired without orders. Gen. Garibaldi would like to settle the Eastern question in this way : ‘ ‘ The Turks at Bagdad; the Russians at Scutari; on the Bosphorus, a confederation of all the peoples of European Turkey, with Constantinople for the capital; the Bosphorus and Dardanelles free to all.” This would give the Russians all of Turkey in Asia south of the Black sea; retire the Turks to their old capital of 500 years ago, and still would save Constantinople from the Russians. The great civil war continues to rage in Japan. The imperialist army has been recruited to about 50,000 men, and it is believed that the rebel force is not weaker in numbers. The rebels, commanded by Saigo, have so far had the advantage of the imperialists. The Japandie Government has embargoed all telegrams from the seat of war, and this is considered, with reason, an indication that the news is bad. Saigo seems to be pursuing a Fabian policy, equally harassing and destructive to his foe. The Mikado’s affairs are evidently in a preearioufr-eendition, though the rebels pretend not to be making war upon him, but upon his advisers. The Pittsburgh papers which abetted the strikers and belittled the militia have been making a hero of a young railroad employe named Robert Ammond, who undertook to ruu the road in the interest of the strikers. He did so for three days, and it is proudly recorded of him that in that time no accident occured and no passes were issued without the young man’s countersignature. He is in his 25th year, tall, slender, intelligent, quick and forcible. With all his mistakes, he avers that he has never tasted a drop of strong drink. A year ago he came with a letter of introduction to Mr. Layng, admitting he had been wild, but expressing a desire to reform. He was plticed on the road as brakeman, and soon attained a wonderful influence among his fellows.
