A RUsE ON THE PART OF Coal DEALERs.-The
late announcement that the coal mines of Penn
sylyania were about to be closed, because six dol
lars per ton on the wharves at Philadelphia
does not pay profit, looks very much like a
trick on the part Of coal dealers generally, to
brighten the public into the Lelief that the price
Of coal will speedily advance, and therefore
that it will be economy to lay in full winter
supply The operators in Pennsylvania want
money, and must have it, and the dealers in
New York, New Jersey and the Eastern States
have heavy payments to make on the first of
November, oil of which cannot be accomplished
unless the public will purchase their winter
stock. The trick is transparent.
ALLEGED MUNICIPAL CoRRuPr1oN.-The case
Of Barr against Erben, which is now pending
before Judge DAILY, is likely to bring to light
world of interesting matter. Mr.. Barr sues Mr..
Erben for having accused him of corruption,
and from the evidence adduced yesterday, it
does seem as though nothing short Of an action
for libel could satisfy Mr.. Bars conscience or
his reputation. OF course Mr.. Erben will be
bound to justify what he said; and in the doing
hereof, disclosures are likely to appear which
will startle the city. We have no idea on which
side the right lies; for aught we know Mr.. Barr
may have been slandered, or Mr. Erben may
bave been justified. But we shall watch the
case and advise the public to do the same.

rBE LIQUOR QUESTION N PENNsYLvANH.-
The re uIns Fl ON the German counties irl Penn
sylvsDia on the question of proposed pro
bibitory liquor law, which was submitted to the
people at the recent election, exh bited 10 large
. majority against the measure that it was sup
posed the popular decision was unfavorable to
an act like the Maine law. But further returns
from the Northern and Western counties, where
the population is net q German rigin, have
quite turned the tables. The official majorities
show OH aggregate balance against the law Of
about three thousand votes. But in an aegre-
gate voie OF nearly four hundred thou and,
majority either WY, of three thousan votes,
amounts 10 no decision at all, and the people
of Pennsylvania may be said to be nearly
ry liquor law. Under such circumstances it
may DE doubted whether the Legislature re-
Gently elected, will feel disposed to carry out
the views Of the ultra temperance men, but
may feel constrained to pass laws restricting
licenses, and otherwise to adopt judicious
measures for the suppression Of the vice of in
temperance.
luc uS Vi TIC tOtes On tHis iAfuoA 4ucc-
ton, from the various counties into which the
great State Of Pennsy lvanis is divided show Curl
ous results, which will interest those who know
thepeculiar circumstances of the resi- lent popu-
lation Of the various sections OF the State. To
those readers not we'll informed ON this subject
we may remark that Pennsylvania was mainly
settled by four classes Of people, representing
different European races. The English settlers,
principally Quakers, under William Penn, &C.
cupied Philadelphia, Delaware, Chester,
and part of Bucks county, on the Della
ware, and this section has given large
aggregate majority in favor of the
prohibitory liquor law the counties
mainly by their descendants, such as Berks,
Lancaster, Dauphin, Leh'gb, Northampton,
Schuylkill, NJ ntgt merry, Adams, Franklin, &c.,
have, in arly every instance, given heavy
ma. critics against the proposed law. Then
come the counties on the northern line Of the
State-viz., Erie, Warren, Bradford, Susque-
hanna, Tioga, &c, and including Luzsrne and
other counties in the valley Of Wyoming, all of
which we're principally settled by emigrants
from New England, and generally democratic
in their politics. This section gives heavy ma
jorites in favor Of the prohibition Of the sale Of
liquor. The region west of the Allegheny
Mountains, which was principally settled by
people of ADglo-Saxon origin, particularly
from Scotland, the North of Ireland and Wales
has also given heavy vote in favor Of prohi-
bitten of liquor sales. We see, therefore, that
the only class o. counties which has decided
against prchibitory law is that in which the
people Of German descent have the preponder-
ance, and ew counties where the emigrants
from Ireland and Germany, employed in the
mines and in internal improvements have turned
the scale.

THE NEBRASKA PERFIDY.-The Louisville
Journal, in an elaborate editorial, argues the
impossibility Of repeating this law, and the
futility Of attempting IT. and says:
aThe passage of the Nebraska bill, involy-
ing the destruction Of the Missouri Compro-
mise, was q most ill,judged and unfortunate
proceeding. It has done vast deal Of harm,
and, so far as we can see or havc reason to be-
lieve, not the least good. IL can be of no scr
vice TO any body except the very few individuals
who, upon the strength Of their hostility TO il,
may be elected TO cffice in the non-slaveholding
States IL was deed Of bad faith on the
part Of those who voted for it, though some
OF them, we doubt not, acted from good mo-
tives.D
How men can act from good motives, in per-
forming "a decd OF bad faith" the Journal
docs not explain, and We do not understand.

MINERAL. SPRING "A valuable medicinal
spring is said to exist on the farm Of Col. B. p.
Smith, half o mile from the Navy Yard bridge,
on the Marlborough road. Its immediate mo
dtis operandi upon the system is that Of dia-
phoretic and diuretic; but it is at the same
time tonic. In cases Of debility, disordered
liver, stomach, kidneys, and cutaneous diseases,
it is said to act with great promptncss. The
water is very cold, very light, and agreeable,
with o quantity Of fixed air in it. It's action
on the surface, or skin, will very soon be real
lied by its use for few days, producing great
sofmess and smoothness.
