The report current yesterday, and published in some of the afternoon papers, to the effect that the old miners at Reeling's coal works on the South Side had congregated in large numbers and endeavored to induce the new men not to work, proved to ba sensational entirely. A reporter of The Post visited the locality last night, when it was ascertained from reliable sources that no interference whatever occurred with the new miners when they proceeded to work yesterday morning. In fact, it was stated everything was quiet and orderly, and the new men accomplished their first dav 's labor satisfactory to themselves ami The company. It m'ght also be stated that President Yost of the Miners' Union pu-liciy announced that it is far from the intention of tbe Union miners to do anything tnat could be construed into an interference with the right of the new men to work iu the mines. Mr.

Yost holds that anything beyond moral suasion to brir about success to the point they are struggling for has never been entertained by the Uni men. The new men bold they are justified in accepting the work onVred, became of the fact that there is no question of wages involved in the difference existing between tbe old hands and the firm, the matters occasioning the trouble having arisen, it is stated, ont of an interference on the part of the Union men with affairs connected entirely wiin ine management oi me warns, wnicoyf was resisted bv the firm at first in a mild I manner, but which eventually resulted in the firm determining upon the present course of employing new men.

It seems the circular did not have the desired result here, and the attention of the members of the G. A. K. being called to the fact, that organization ti.k an interest in tbe matter, and have done much toward carrying ont this very worthy undertaking.

Ail of the graves in the cemeteries in and around the city that contain the remains of soldiers who did not have relatives residing in this vicinity, have had the head stones placed hereon.

A.

K. There is no expense whatever in the matter, and many of the G. A. H. members express the hope that the friends interested will furnish tbe name as desired, so that the work may be completed at ouue.

To the Editort of The Pittsburgh Post: Takentcm, July IT. I was surprised to see in your issue of this morning a notice that there "would be no special improvements made on the Tarenturc camp ground, that the citizens would hold a meeting on tha 2Tth of August to see what could be done, and that at present the camp meeting exercises will be held at Arnold Grove." Permit me to correct the above notice and to say that there will be a camp meeting held on the old Tarentum camp grounds August 27th, and that the fullest arrangements have been made to have a good old time camp meeting.

The Camp Ground Committe, two years ago, planted the burnt district with trees, and last year during camp meeting they sol i sixty-seven lota. For this year they are making improvements on the ground, erecting canvass over the altar, and orher improvements. At a meeting held on the 10ih of July forty-seven responded that tbey would occupy their lots; and since -everal have made arrangements to occupy their lots. The Committee on Preaching have made special arrangements with a number of ministers to be present. Dr.

J. N. Baird will preach the opening sermon. There will be several new cottages erected this year, and some who have cottages on Arnold Park have rented their cottages and will occupy lots on Tareututn camp ground. The committee have perfected their arran gemen i with an ex p-rienced man to take charge of the hotel, who will accommodate all who may wish to come on the ground.

We have no gate fee, no tax on tbe lots. We intend it to be a good old-fashion camp meeting, and sifh a meeting as was held a quarter of a century ago on this old camp erouud. K. S. P.

A Settlement fleeted The Adams and Baltimore it Ohio Kail-road Kxpress Companies, for some time past, have been cutting the rates. For perishable goods, such as fruit, vegetables, one dollar per hundred pounds was charged. Other goods were shipped at thirty-five cents per hundred. The war continuing, the rates were reduced to twenty-five cents per hundred on ail kinds of freight. This was beginning to be rather monotonous, when a treaty of peace between the rival companies was effected two or three days ago, each party agreeing to transport goods at the standard rates.

Hon. Lewis C. Cas-sidy in reply said: Cndr the of the chairman of this body it was declared that unless a dis trict announced as contested when called, it a not a contestant, and anch not hav ing been done here, it should be considered as conclusive of hs right to sit, and there- fare Bnder the ruling of the chairman of the convention he was a recognized member. The present reading of the resolution presented by Mr. Vaix woald probably brine on an nntimely and unseemly debate, which was unnecessary; hence he trusted the com man i cat ion would be laid upon the tkhler" (Loud applause The point of order having been raised, the president said he wouia ruie upon me motion after having some music.

(Applause A county delegate here moved to amend bv referring tha whole matter to a commit tee on credentials, hut the chairman ruled the gentleman ont of ord-r. as no motion bad been made, but a point of order was raised by Mr. Cassmy. Mr. Vaux then said: "If I understand the remarks of my learned friend from Philadelphia be said we contested seats in this body.

I wisn to inform tne convention that we contest no seat here, and there fore when the names were called by the secretary it wasn't necessary to make remarks, because tbe parties I represent con test no seat here. If the chair determines that these people cannot be received by the convention, that this communication is not in order, we will bow with entire submls ion should the convention sustain the chair in that decision." Mr. Cassidy I only want to say that Mr. Vaux sneaks here entirely by grace. Mr.

Vaux I have always spoken by grace. Mr. CassMv Tt would do yon good to repeat that; it very rarely you do grace. My relations with that gentleman point-in to Mr. Vaux) are too old to allow me to no'ice him to interrupt him at all; and therefore, ss a matter of courtesy to bim, I am anite willing that he should go on and explain his case.

I am glad to see the proper spirit has at last gotten into him; he bows in submission to the wui or the con vention. After some music by the band, Chairman Speer. in deciding on the point of order raised by Mr. Cassidy. said "The gentleman from Philadelphia (Mr.

Vani sends to the chair to have read a list of gentlemen whom he claims have been elected to this convention. Mr. Cas idv raises the point of ordea that the com munication is unauthorized The chair Btates frankly that there is no rule governing this lemoc ratio convention.

Paul sars, 'in decency and There fore, as your temporary Chairman, when the question of order is raised, 1 most say and every conscientious man must say am right I must sustain the point of or der. Tbe roll was called, and there was no notice of contest made. The action of Mr. Vaux is outside of the convention and rule it ont of order." The convention then proceeded to the election of temporary a chairman. SPIECH OF GEN.
