The Turbu(ent Wave Sweeps Over the North and West-Where will it End? From New? and Courier, 2&(h ult. As willlbe ?cen by a perusal of tbo telegrama oelow, tho Btriko made great progress yesterday, ands now involves nearly thc entire railroad system of the Middle and Western States. New Eng land and thc Routh etill keep out, al though emissaries of tho ?usurrocUoul?tsi Intvo been very busy in Massachusetts. Only two additional collisions between thc militia and the strikers arc reported. The lirst was at Heading, Pennsylvania, wiiero five rioters were killed and twenty five wounded. Tho other was at Buffalo, where although several rioters were killed' thc ;roops were disgiaceiullv whipped and deprived of their arms. Thc Federal government now seems to bo preparing to act with rigor. All tho troops have been ordered from this State, ana so far as can bo judged from tho information nt our command, all availablo troops arc being concentrated at or near Washing ton. A meeting of thc citizens, at Columbus, Ohio, took a serious view of the situation, and live hundred of them enrolled aa special police. Tho municipal authori ties have garrisoned all points likely to bo molested. Tho Missouri Pacific Road has restored thc wages to former rates. No strike on that road is probable. There has been a very turbulent meet ing nt Omaha, Nebraska. After the meeting, tho roughs paraded thc town, hooting, but using no violence. Tho mayor of St. Louis has ordered tho Baloons to bc closed. Thc strikers havo enforced order. Food for stock is allowed to pass. Many industries are paralyzed for want of fuel. Overtures tor an omnibus compromise of all roads centreing in East St. Louis failed. Thc strikers are orderly, but express a de termination to fight it out. A number of strikers have l)ecn commissioned as special police by the mayor, to guard the railroad property. The strikers' meeting nominated this special force. Jersey City is disorderly but controlled. Governor Bedlo has issued a proclama tion requesting all well disposed people to repair to their homes. Tho troops will be moved from Jersey City and Trenton and other places to prevent their fraterni zation with the mob. Short trains have been run in Pitts burg by made-up lines. This resulted in a collision two miles above Sharpsburg. The engines closed in on each other like a telescope. Both engineers, the express messenger and mail agcut and three pas sengers were instantly killed, and a num ber dangerously wounded. Thc Seventh HcgiincHt, after assem bling at thc armor}- in New York, were stoned and hissed by a largo crowd of tramps and roughs. The street was cleared by the police. The troops be haved well. Thc soldiers at Reading, Penn., fired on thc citizens indiscriminately, killing five and wounding twenty-rive, including five policemen and two women. Tho New York Central has stopped selling tickets beyond Rochester. Thc night in Harrisburg was very dis orderly until the citizens took matters in their own hands and dispersed the rioters, who were parading thc stree'--. No shooting Y?aA required. For a f. / hours thc telegrapher* were compelled to aban don their office. The mob at Buffah) fired tho Lake Shore paint shop and a number of cars. Thc Westfield company of soldiers, after killing several rioters, were driven from their quarters. Sonic of thc company were shot by the rioters, who got posses sion of thc Westfield company's rifles. A meeting of workingmen at San Francisco, ten thousand strong, adjourned after wrecking a Chinese washhouse. Making their way homeward in squads they played all kinds of pranks on the Chinese. Five hundred policemen pre vented them from reaching the Chinese quarters. Stones and clubs wcro used, hut no firearms. Thc demonstration seems to have been a frolic, and by 2 o'clock ali was quiet. WASHINGTON, July 24-0 p. m. Tho Cabinet session was occupied in .J' cussing Um strike, and concluded that no further action was necessary at present beyond calling another regiment from thc South, probably from Texas. Thc Grand Army of tho Republic at Philadelphia has taken mensures to or ganize for tho suppression of the strike. There aro seventeen posts in that city, and their services have been accepted by Mayor Stokely, who has also increased the police force by 1,600 men. Tue strikers took possession of thc Union depot at Indianapolis to-day, and only postal cars are allowed to depart. The Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Lafay ette, thc IndianapoliSj Bloomington and Western und the Indianapolis, Pennsyl vania and Chicago Roads arc not in thc strike, but aro prevented from working. Governor Williams and Mayor Caven both decline to interfere except to sup press or prevent violence. Only postal cara leave St. Louis east ward. Thc strikers there say there is no middle grouud in this case. It is cither absolute victory or defeat with them, amt they proposo to make thc issue square and clearly dofincd from now on ; and to effect this they will put a total embargo on freight and passongcr traffic. Their organization increases in strength and completeness every hour : but so long as they arc not interfered with in their pur pose to obtain what they consider fair and just remuneration for their labor, there will bo no violence or disorder ; but if thoy are forcibly opposed there will be trouble, and plenty of it. Tbn ?.;tiw>nn hr.vo ribboned control of Columbus, Ohio, and general industry is resumed. At Indianapolis over two hundred special police have been sworn in, many of whom aro strikers themselves, whe thus declare their intention to protect property.

Through out tho city the matter has now assumed proportions which seem likely to aflcct every man in a greater or ?caa degree, and has becomo the one question of thc hour{ which is discussed ffi all places of public resort.

Mr. Miirahnll'a contta< bio instituted an unsuccessful search al their residences and haunts during tin morning, and about 1 o'clock thc aid ol the chief of polieo was invoked. Cant Hendricks turned over thc warrant loi ex-Gov. Moses and Jones to Detective Coates, at the samo timo instructing Lieut. Clauascn, and others ol tho dctec tive force, to be on tho lookout. Deice tives Coates and Nipson at once pro cecded to the Court House building, bul found neither of their men there ; aftci which they went down the street to loot after another cn?o which required ntten tioti. Upon their return to the Ginini house, in about three-quarters of an hour thev again went forth in quest of Mose and" Jones. They boarded a King stree car, and went upon the front platform where they had not been more than i few moments before they saw thc ex Governor coming leisurely down tin south side of Queen street, just in fron of thc Mills H use, followed nt sonn little distance by Detective Olausscn Thc officers immediately disembnrkci and m ado for their mon. cneoutitcriiij him just as bc was turning the cornet Dctcctivo Coates immediately drew ou the warrant, and walked to his side, in forming him, in a low voice, what it wa for. lie was evidently prepared for th receipt of the intelligence, having beet as was afterwards discovered, airead taken in charge by detective Claussci who had encountered him on Kingstrcci He glanced at thc document which Mi Coates held, nodded slightly, and sai "Ail right."

Tho CJ Governor walked carelessly along, strim ing his umbrella and looking aslittlc i possible li?io a man who is a prisoner i the meshes of tho law, and whose capto were only a few foet behind him. Tl whole quartette strolled donn towan tho Guardhouse, bearing themselves ? idlers, at peace with themselves and tl world.

As he got in the Guardhouse ho looked grave ai wearied ; but there was no sign of frig or excitement about him. He spoke the chief and one or two .hers who wc present, and then looked around hi with an inquiring face, as if mutely qui tioning as to his disposal.

No s proud to share tho spoils with his " orcd pal during the flush days of T ' cal mi- ml.-, ho was too weak aud t to share with him tho just punishme 'l their dual knavery. In effecting his plans of escape, foi seemed to lend Woodruff a helping hi and, owing to the fact that tho inev!1 >. warrant which is now iu course of pi y ration for him had not been issn g soon as thc others, ho was able to i himself, nilli much apparent fortitude, on the streets on Tuesday. With alt bis consummate effrontery, however, and as sumed indiffr? .MICO os fco witnessed the Arrest of Moses, ho was all the whilo working secretly and silently to avoid ?;oing through tho same performance limself. His plans wcro well laid, and were successful. In tho afternoon of Tuesday, as tho story goes, ho went down to tue wharf and succeeded in procuring the uso of a Custom-house boat and hud himself con veyed nboard of the rovenuo cutter which was stationed off thc bark Cuba at quar antine. Ho was introduced to the offl ccrs, as it appears, under au'asst*-ned name, and remained on board for Burne time. Later in the afternoon thc steam er Virginia. Captain Hunter, carno steam ing down tho bay, ovidently by precon certed arrangement, on reaching tho neighborhood of Hie Cuba she blew her whistlo and hovo to. Tho stranger (Woodruff) then stated to Capt. Freeman thal ho desired to board tho Virginia. and asked if ho wbuld not put him aboard of her. The captain replied that his po sition ns au United States officer would not allow him to comply with his request, but that Woodruff's Irlcnd who had como with him could put him aboard, if ho saw fit, with tho Customhouse boat. This course was finally adopted, and Woodruff thus Bafely secured his passago for Philadelphia, wheoco it is presumed ho will make his way into Canada, if he bc not arrested in the Quaker City. Tho person who accompanied Wood ruff to tho cutter was introduced as Mr. Woodruff, and the simon-pure Woodrufl as Mr. Fraser. This would havo thrown the captains of tho cutter aud tho steam er off their guard, even if they had sus pected that anything was wrong. Nei ther of tho captains know tho character of their visitor.

He declined submitting to nn interview j although affectionately pressed to do so Ho remarked, however, that ho-lint never considered himself responsible fo the pay certificates. Ho felt somcwha aggrieved, ho said, that a constable hat been sent for him. Ho had told Mr Cochran that if ho was wanted ho wouh como to Columbia immediately ; and h thought this was an attempt to humili?t Lim. Ho also complained of the state ments made that ho was "hiding out" 01 tho previous day, saying that ho was 01 thc street nearly thc whole forenoon.

THE STATE HOUSE PLOT* Momo Interesting Recollections o? the Ciosiner. scenes of Mobber KUIe In Columbia by One of thc Nen who guarded thc State House Doors. A reporter for tho Newe and Courier yesterday called upon James Shannon, the signer of tho communication in rela tion to "Furniture" Dennis & Co., pub lished a day or two ago. Mr. Shannon gives nu interesting narrative of his ad ventures from the time that ho received his discharge from tho United Slates navy, July 21, 1876, until his arrival in this State. Ho says that ho made his way in search of work from Brooklyn across tho country until ho reached Darl ington on tho 8th of November last. Upon his arrival there, ho accidentally carno into contact with Baruch, then a Trial Justice, and now Sheriff of that county. Through him he was introduced to Whittcmoro os ono who could proba bly procuro him employment. Whilte morc seemed to think that ho had found in Mr. Shannon a man with nerve and recklessness enough to do tho work which ho himself said that his "niggers lacked tho courage to do." Ho accordingly promised him a situation ns United _ States deputy marshal, to execute war rants which ho was then preparing to issue. Mr. Shannon witucssca much of the process of manufacturing affidavits against somo of tho most prominent and respectable white men in tue county who were marked out for arrest and persecu tion. Ho describes tho modus operandi quito minutely. Ho says that Whitte inore kept bis blank affidavits ready, and sent out his agents to drum up negro in timidation witnesses. A negro who mado his appcarauco was invariably given to undctstaud about what he was to swear to, and against whom. When ho was too stupid or too conscientious, (this latter rarely happened,} his language was twia tcd and contorted to suit. About forty of these were prepared ; one, ho remem bers, against Colonel Law, a prominent Democrat of that county. Tho manu facture was continued untP the time ur _!_i r_ititi_:_-rtu-T_ IDCU IUI HIO kUUVDIHUK Ul UIU JJVyiai.l turo, when Whittemoro left for Colhmbia. Almost immediately upon his arrival there ho sc S down an urgent message for Mr. Shi ion to como up, tendering him tho pas; .ion of "Arresting Sergeant" of tho Legislature, and offering at tho same timo to defray all expenses. His idea evidently was that ho had gotton hold of a desperate and courageous man who would hesitate at nothing. On tho morning of Mr. Shannon's arrival he was met by Whittcmoro, who went into tho State House, and returning in a few min utes bearing a commission as Deputy Scrgoant-at-Arm8, which he handed him. Mr. Shannon immediately wont on duty, and was git*on virtual command of tho negro constabulary about tho doors. Hero ho remained until the storming of 'tho HOUBC by tho Democratic members. He states that tho movement- was a com plete surprise. Ho was the only man at the door at the time, and was svyept out of tho way. despite his resistance. On that di./, about thrco hours after tho en trance of the Democrats, Mackey carno to Mr. Shannon and asked rather abrupt ly if be did not have a pistol. Upon bis replying in tho negative, Mackoy told him to call nt his office next morning. Ho did so, and was banded a fino Colt'b six-barreled revolver with tho significant remark that be "knew how to uso it." Tho forco of negroes was increased, all of whom boing r.rmcd and under Mr. Shannon's orders. On the first or second nigh? that tho D?mocrate were in tho hall of the House, six cases containing ?20 breech-loading rifles with ammuni tion and accoutrements were brought over from tho Stato armory and deposi ted in Kennedy's office. Mr. Shannon hoard Beatty, who acted as his superior officer, say that in case of an "emergency" thc door of Kennedy's office was tobo broken open if tho key could not bo con veniently obtained, and tho men armed with tho rifles. After tho Democratic members had been in a day or two, Mr. Shannon ascertained, or was given to un derstand, that Jillson, Deunis, Hay no and some other of the bolder spirits, were to act as deputy sergeants-at-arms, and attempt tho ejection of tho objec tionable members, being supported by tho Radicals and negroes who wero freely admitted by orders, whilo all whito men wero rigidly excluded. Upon resistance heine made sufficient force was to bo used~to provoke violence. Immediately upon any manifestation of this burt Lieutenant Anderson or Kellogg, ono of whom waa to bo at the door, would givo a signal to bripg up thc troops from down stairs. Thoso lieutenant? expressed many fears lest their men should refuse [to act in putting ont or shooting at the white, men, but it was determined to lead the troopb ' .to the melee, so as to get at least one hurt, which they judged would be sufficient to answer tho purpose of secur ing martial law, or the ejectment of all Democrats and tho upholding of tho Chamberlain government. How this plan was baffled by tho withdrawal of tho "Wallace" House is known to all. The- Radicals in the House were, he _/"..ll_I._1 _X> .L - _1-1 wero all armed. After the adjournment of the two Housev, Mr. Shannon was re tained to discipline and watch tho negro constabulary, and remained there until tho final capitulation of Chamberlain and his crow. Ho says that Elliott brought in an additional supply of arms, whicii, with tho others., were stored in tho headquarters of tho constabulary, and kept ready for use. He also says that tho troops frequently declared their In tention of throwing down their arms if Hampton or his men uttcmptcd to cap turo tho State House, and expressed their wish that ho would. Twenty determine?1 men, hb says, could have taken tho build ing at any time. Mr. Shannon was bo hiud tho scetics, and certainly knows of what he speaks. His stAtennmts can, he claims, b* confirmed by Andrew Doherty, Who waa. like himself, in tho Radical service with, Democraiic feelings, and who is now in Columbia.-Netts a>id Cou rur, Vlth insV - Crow? havo^een known to li hundred years. - Aloxandor H.
