This plating brcat'h of pioporty rights was piononncccl a casus bellli and the Gibsons took down their lllnt lodes ami lusty navies and went gunning for the Westbrooks. They met by chance on the highway. The Westbrooks had heaid of tlm declara tion of war , nnd had thrown out a skirmishing linn to pievcnt a surprise. AVhen the factions hove in sight , the West- brook light mtlllcry was unmasked , and a bullet pleiced the heel of Gibson's mule. This unguarded shot smote the bull's-eye of peace In the old man's licait , and ho chaiged on the enemy with n wild war whoop. The onset \\asnol unllko acyclono in a land locked valley , and paralyzed the Westbrooks , both sue nnd sons. When hostilities ceased through lack of ammunition and nm- teilal to play on , three Wcst- brooks lay bleeding and dead on the field while the fomth , coveiing the foim of old Gibson , rammed a pistol into his ear and snapped the tiiggcr several times. It failed to explode , and Gibson lives to attend the luneral. Old Weslbrook got a bullet wound over the right cyo ; his son Tom icccivcd a dcith wound in the neck ; and Jim , another son , had his scalp funovved with a shot.

THE RIOTING COKE WORKERS , A Battle Between tlio Policemen and Strik ing Hungarians One of the Dis turbing Element Killed. I'tTTsnvnn , Jnn. 20 , A dispatch from Mount Pleasant to-nlgljt says : ShcilIT Stew art and forty deputies , nnd Detective Bropliy nnd twenty armed polifo from Pittsburg , had a desperate conflict th B aftcinoon with iBO strikers , who had attacked the men at the Alice works in the moinlng. The iloters rested for dinner. Then they massed at the Mutual woiks , near Sloncrville. At this point a negro , without pro\ocatlon , fired at the Hungarians with a shot gun , but failed to hit any of them. They surrounded his house , dragged him out , boat him fearfully and left him for dead , with his skull frac tured. Ilo will probably die. At1 ! o'clock the.stilkcrspassed up toward Morowoort , llouilshiug every manner of weapon Irom lovolvcrs to case serapeis. They wcie headed by Stephen Stamix , main agitator of the strike. When they readied shaft A , Morewood mines , they cncouiitcied sixty-two deputy sheriffs and policemen drawn up for battle. Detective Biopliy talked to the foreigners , telling them It wns useless to icslst , and that ho would arrest the ling- leaders , liiophy arrested one striker , which opened the ball. The combat was hand-to- hand , but the olllccis won , anestlng tlilitecn men nnd one woman , who were sent to jail at Gioeinllle. The balance retreated. Over n hundred shots woie filed and several Hun- Kalians injincU. How many ts not known , as thoyweio c.uiicd away by companion * . Only one olllccr was slightly hint. The authorities , it is stated , telegraphed to Pitts- burg lor more olllcd * . The strike is only in- nuguialcdnnd moio bloodshed Is feared , Tills strike Is undoubtedly the most dan- ecious In the history of the coke country. Tlio operators have an entirely different class of men to deal with , as Hungarians when drunk ate unmanagnbloand mote like fiends than men. In loimcr bliiUes this element was not In the field , and the operators had more intelligent men to deal with. A leellng of insccuiity prevails and citizens near the vaiious tlneatencd districts are arming them selves and otherwise pieparing to defend their homes as best they may. A dispatch at midnight says It is thought one Hnngniian killed in the fialil with tlio police this afteinoon. A special train lelt Giecnsbiug tliis evening with the prisoneis guaidcd by policemen. A liot Is also icpoited to have occuiied at the Donni'lly and Diamond works , al)0ut ) tlneo miles east of Mount Pleasant , in which live Hnncaiians and three Ameiioans were Injured. The condition of allaiis at mid night is pood. A special train has just nr- ilvcd at St.uidatd , with a police lorce , which will bo used tonight to aireit some men charged w'lth assault.

A NATIONAL BANK ARGUMENT. A Colorado Congressman Lois Him- selfl/ooso on the Silver C < > Innc ; \Vlillo Another Qurstlon is Under Consideration. Senate. N , .Inn. 20.-0n ( ho opening ol the senate to-day , Mr. llalo olTeied the follow ing resolution : Iiesolved , That the secietary of the tieas > - urybo directpd to fonsaid to Iho senate nil papers in relation to the contract let to Brain- ard& Co. or other pai tips for the woik , or any f-oit of the same , of putting an additional stoiytothol'poiln , ( III. , ) uostonico in ISSS ; nlso , nil piotpsts filed by labor leagues In le- Inllon thcipto : also , a ropy of tlio piotcst filed by Stinub > t Co. , ot Butlalo , Now Yoik , giv ing Information that the woik of said pon- trart would bo peifoimed by convict labor , and consequently the contiactois who cin- iiloycd fieo laboi could not alfoid to compcto for the work. In otreilnplhc resolution , Mr. Hole said no had not been mcp.iicd to believe without. urther intormatlou that the seeielary ot tlie treasuiy Would let any contiact lor woik to bo done on puiilie buildings In such way that the work would bo done by coin lot mbor. Ho ( Mr. Hale ) had locelved Inloimntlon of such character as made It desirable to ascer tain the facts set liirth In Ills resolution , Ho did not belicNe a contiact for public work should bo let topinplojeis of convict labor when theie was no lack of ordinaiy labor In the conn I ly , Ilo did not believe that lice labor should be put on competition with con vict labor. The ipsolulloti was azreed to. Mr. Moirlll addicted the senate on the silver question. He picuilsed with the ro- niaik that the elaborate speech of the senator fiom Kentucky ( Buck ) seemed to throw the buiden of the lojolnder on the tnoiids of the ndmlnlstiatlon. I do not mean , lie continued , tocncmacli upon the pilvileges which so many democratic senators appear so eager to enjoy of rushing totluucscuo ofthe piesulcnt and the becrcmry ol the tipasiny , against whom the ciuel ittack is made , upon tlio cnidinal mcasuia ot the ndmlnistiiitiun , us 1 know the fate oL those who ventuic to In- li'ileio with family miaueK But this measure , thiongli w lilch sliver might bo main tained on a par with gold , is so wet thy of all accppllon that I fear It will not have , after the heat of demonstration , an acknowledged leadci of his patty In tlio btato asaiusl it , or thai unanimous suppoit to which it may be laiily entitled. In the first place , let me say there are no pai tie * , so far as 1 know , in the senate or out of it , that pioposeor h.x\o any wisli to deinoiipti/.o It , for to cluuceotheiwiso is a baseless assumption and unwoithy ol the aicna of fair debate. K\eryboily is willing- nay anxious to kpcp ns much of silver as can bo done and keep it at the bamo time nt par with our gold coinage. Tlio only hostility aiisesiiom whathociiis to ho a mixed and passionate puiposo on tlie pai tot some ot its advocates to promote such an exceas of silver coinacn as will drive cold out of the countiy , anil IP.IVC our vast tiadu and commciee based upon sliver only. In reaching ; tills position ot .silver inoiiomct- nllsin , it is impossible to 1)3 ) blind to the dN- nbtioits contraction ot the piteulating mpdi- um of the country that would at once occur , tor when tlie moment anivcs that gold com mands a premium it will beheld as a rom- modlty for. sale , not chuulaUng on n small or 0 per cent premium , beine : as pioducthoof universal hoaiding at Sopor cent , and no possiblondvantaso to our people could bo ex pected Irom following the lame and fpcblo example of India or Me\Ico in utill/.ing sil ver currency only. Mr. Morrlll insisted that theio wns no war upon silver , but liom the substance andel- fect ol the declaiation of wai that bait been made upon gold by the leader ol the demo cratic patty in the senate , liom the plcasuip which the senator Irom Kentucky had evinced In delivering in tlio senate his an tagonism to tlio piesident nnd scciotaiyof the tieasuiy , it seemed to Mr. Moriill that that senator had been for the moment under a delusion. He was still belaboring with left-handed compliments some republican picsident and secretary , but Mr. Monill could look on with compostne , confident as lie was ot the suivival of the fittest. His ( Morrlll's ) convictions that continued coin age of largo amounts of silver would drive nil gold out ot the conutrv , was based on the expeiieneo of all clvlll/ca people that inferioi money never failed to expel superior , and tlio fact that our own silver mines furnished moie than one-half of thu annual silver yield 01 the woild. Mr , Moirlll denied that there had been any failure on the part of the treasury ollicials to comply with the laws regaiding the applica tion of the money recehcd Irom custom duties. It would not bo contended , ho f aid , by anjbody , except , poihaps , the senator 1 10111 Kentucky , that as each piece of money was iccelved at a custom house it was to bo branded and set apait in a sppauto eompait- nient. If it was in the ticasmy , that was enough. By the repoit of the United States ticasuier , Moriill continued , itappc.iislheiu Is somewhere In the treasury Slii'i15'J5XX ( ) of stiindaid silver dollnis which wo are strug gling how and where to sately stoic , until by some miracle they can find moio favor in this wicked world. The percentage of those dollars In actual ciiculatlon outside of the treasury , it also appeals , has been constantly giowlns less since IbSl , being then S0.8 per cent , and now only le.8 per cent. Woliavo coined over two hundred ami fifteen million silver dollars lars , and have only been oblo nt anytime. through much cost and tribulation , to gel not quite fitly million Into spasmodic circu lation. The people do not , like to bo com pelled by law to c.uiy it. We donotiPccivo It hem ouiselves with any pinlsowoilhy coullallty. Whenever thu government , liom inability or from indisposition , shall fail to maintain the silver dollar on u par with gold , all of the silver coitiliratesns well as all tlm other paper curiency. together with tlio sil ver dollar itself , will lull to cvact tlio eom- meiclal value of the bullion contained in tlio standaid .sliver dollar. All nur legal tender must tlipn stand on tliut basis. Themis no financial or legislative witchcraft tliatollois any other late. The senator from Kentucky ( Mr. Bpck ) ot course expect * to cany the Kuiplio state in IbSS on his platfoiiu , Ilo Is not himself eligible as ii candidata for the pieshlcncy. The distinguished senator w.ws nls banner , reckless ot tlm clouds without any silver lin ing which betoken tlio fate of any democratic son of Now Yoik who may soul ; to conquer under that sign. The inevitable icsult ot using silver inpayment of ( lie public debt would bo to banish gold , or Iwo-tlilids of all Our present iiu'talliuclieulation , and leave. ! UH with nothing but silver coinage. Our live or : hlx hundied millions of gold \\ould soon command a premium , incieasing day by day , Go where it nilirht , it would have mnm ap preciation , and its depaituro could not hill to pioduco a sellout : mouctaiy citsls , a conduction which congipss would be piomptly ui-ked locum by an indefinite - definite issue ol a now edition of legal tender gicenbaekson aiovlsal of "wildcat banks1' to supply tlio pt'.ico of the dcp.ti ted gold. This , or mi ) thing , tlie supreme point has alieady announced , congicss may do nt Its pleasum Such a step , once taken , however. thu experience ) of the woild shows cannot easily be let raced. Mr , Morrlll contended that the public faith was pledged to the payment of fhq bonds. both principal and liifeicst , In gold , and that our credit would bo dUhonoied by paying them oil' In silver woi th 7'J cents on thu dollar lar , and concluded as follows : "Tho fact that the , pieslde.nl and spcictarv ot tlio ticasury. tlio tieasmer , tlio dim-tor of tlio mint and thocoinptiollcr ot cuueney , oxperlcncedlipasury officials , no less under the piesent ndmlnistiatlou than under tlm nieccdlng , ntenll agiecdlu uigini ; cougicss to ceaio tlio piesent colnagi ) of tltosihcr dollar , goes for nothing with tlio senator liom Kentucky and his obedient tolloweis , " .Mr , Beck said tobtoptho coining of silver money in oulcr to make MT ! money moio valuable was like stopping giinding wheat Into flour in outer to make mom value. The pmposo was to suspend it now and never lesumu roinnup. The arguiiient showed that silver was good enough lor everj bed v Imt tlio bondholder , who was the only pel son that had In wiitlugneu'Pdtp liikc' It.

This was a govern ment of itfonle , by the people , and for tlio people , and the people would see It was not turned into a government of bondholders , by bondholder * nnd for bomlholdcis. Mr. Beck gave notice that in duo time ho. would icply to Mr. Morrill's speech. ifr. Morrlll said that Mr. Beck's reply re minded him of tlie sloiy of t.io boy who ciled when his mother whipped him , nnd when asked by his mother why ho cried so much hauler than had been lift custom on similar occasions , replied , "because , mother , I sco von are giowlne wrnker and weaker every time jou flog me. " [ Laughter. ] Mr. Teller denied the slatPiupiit by Mr. Moriill to the olTcct that IOT.,000,000 of the 21UOO,003 silver dollars nlicndy coined could not bo got Into cliculntton. That statement bad been mndobythc pieMdetitamlsccrctniy ol Ilie tioasury , and had not been made by accident , nnd so far ns the treasury otllclals WPIO coucci nud it wns Intended to mislead nnd had misled the people. By the tame piocess nf lo lo it could be asserted that SSV- ! 000.000 of gold In the trcasmy could not bo put Into circulation. The government , Mr. Teller said , had made 52i , OiWoot , ) piolit on the coinage of silver. The talk of the BOVPUI- iiu-nt lo'lntr moncv in silver colnaeo wasall bosh. Mi. McPhcisou p\pnM ed lilm clf in ta\or ot ai much silver coin us would keep It on a par with gold , and argued that Messrs , Teller and BOCK , and the i > poplo of their way of thinking , weiepudcavoiluglo bilng the countiy to a silver basis. Mi. Beck said the people of the west bail shown fheir confidence In silvei' . Tlu-vhiul sent east ( iO.DOO.OOO gold dollais and took sil ver cpitllicalos lor them , sustained by silver aloni' , until the treasury slojipcd It. Mr. McPhornou asked il M r.
