MAINE SENATOR I'VE learn that notice ba,
been regularly served upon Mr.. Bradbury. the
Senator declared elect from the State of Maine
that his right 10 his sea, will be contested. aud
that deposition will be taken from 81 member,
of the Legislature, declaring that they voted on
the las. ballo; for George Evans, whereas only
40 votes were returned for that gentleman bv
the committee. One also deposes that he voted
for w. P. Fessenden, for whom no vote was re-
turned. This will form, we believe, the first
instance in which seat of a United States
Senator has been contested

National Iatelhgencer


The Luzerne Democrat, thorough going
loco-foco paper, concludes an article comment
lug on the passage OF The British Tariff Blu,
by the House with the following remarks:
Poor old Pennsylvania with her mountains
of iron-and vallies of coal, must now put her
neck on The block and permit ruin, wild and
certain, to stalk over her almost dead ruins
What has she done-whal has her sturdy yeo-
manry done. that she and they are TO be thus
severely punished. Must the furnaces that burn
by day. and ligh, up the night with their cheer
ing blaze from the Lake shore to the Delaware
like the pillar Of fre-lhe hope of the lsra-
elites of od-be put QUIT Must the thousands
Of our canal boats that are daily passing our
great inland ihoroughfare, and yielding employ
ment and bread to thousands, be laid up in dry
docks and our fires be klndIed with BRITISH
Coql' "
But let us look at one or two of The features
of this British Tariff and free-trade law of Con-
gress Under The provisions of the Tariff of
l842, coal was protected by duty of 5 IS
cents per ton-the present free-lrade bill puts
it on an ad valorem duty Of so 50-Sl 25 of
the duty imposed by the law of 1912. Now
mark The effects this mad policy will produce.
The coal mines Of Nova Scotia lie upon The
seaboard and nearer TO the manufacturing es-
adjustments of New England. than the vast
basins Of the Wyoming, Lackawanna, Schuy-
kill and Lehigh--lhe consequence is lha, Eng
lishmen will take the coal operations out Of the
hands Of the American mners--and want and
hunger will be The reward to our laborng men
by this kindly fostering hand of southern poll
cy. Iron 100, the other great staple of Penn
syIvana comes in the leveling horizontal
sweep. Duty is reduced onehalf on iron com
pared with the law of 1912. How does this
operate on the prospects Of old Luzerne. The
iron mills and furnaces of Columbia county
consume, this season 100000 tons of coal
call this So 90 per on-which brings back to
us $500 900 in cash The country is moi i'm
poverished by the trade. Who gets this $780,
900 first, the miner and coal operator--sec-
ondly, the farmer for his grain and the mechan-
ic for his labor Is there any fiction in this !
Is it not fact7 Open our ports for the intro
duction of foreign iron, and the low labor of
Europe will destroy our iron trade and our

Keep il before the People.

That the sum proposed by the friends Of The
diers who were to fight in the Mexican war.
was the poor, pitiful amour, Of seren dollars
month, while they were pockeling the public
money themselves al the tune Of eight dollars a
day.
That Mr.. Stewart, a noble and liberal heart
ed Wing, with proper sympathy and just re-
gard for the poor soldiers moved the following
amendment
"Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the
pay of all Volunteers in the Mexican War
shall be nine dollars and fifty cents per month:
hat those Volunteers, who serve to the end Of
the War, and the heirs of those who die in ser
vice, be allowed one hundred and fifty acres OF
land"
That this proposition was supported by the
wings and that the loco-focos in body voted
against it. Let the honest, hard iised yeoman-
ry Of the country, who have TO fight lis battles,
treasure these facts in their memories.

CRANBERRIEs.-The most successful method
of transplantng the vines, is to take them
from the meadow in large tufts, and set them
in holes from three to four feet apart. Manure
formed of mud or muck from low humid places,
and especially from the meadows or boys where
the plants grow spontaneously, is the most
salutary Of any in its effects, and is generally
to be preferred because easily obtained. The
fruit Of the Cranberry is highly priced. In
