From San Diego.

The San Diego Herald OF the 18th March says
The regular spring business of quaelling, fighting
cutting and shooting, has just set in and promises
handsome return for the small amount Of capital in
vested.
just as We were making up our inside form, we heard
OF duel which had just come OIL between pugnacous
little expostmaster and some gentleman unknown
in which three shots fired by each party with
further damage than ball through the hat Of one
and slight scratch on the Of the other beautiful
young lady OF city is said to be the Of the mis-
understanding between them.
Before the above in type notified than an
Indian woman lay murdered few hundred yards from
office, and on repairing to the spot found her
stabbed and cut in the most horrible We gave
information at the nearest magistrates and in a few
hours our active sheriff had the supposed murderer
the lookup.

Senator Douglass at Chicago.

That hot-bed of fanaticsm the Syracuse of Hi
nOis, whose Common Council a few years ago passed
an ordinance multiplying law of the United STATE s,
and then backed out from their position, under the
sedge. hammer knocks of Senator Douglass has this
time taken the precaution of not hearing him, lest
they should again be obliged to confess themselves in
the wrong They dare not trust themselves with
his arguments or his facts. Just so the fanatics of
ancient city, to whom one of the Apostles under
took to make known the Gospel of Christ, drowned
his voice by shouting, Great is Diana of the Ephe-
slams" From this practical demonstration of he Abb
oiOnists, FreeSoiIers and Abolition Wings of Chi
cago, we learn what they mean by free discussion
1t is freedom to pour fourth their denunciaons when
ever and wherever they please, without interruption
or objection, and freedom 10 prevent any who differ
from them, from exercising the liberty of speech
Everybody knows than it takes but few months,
if let loose BedamfashiOn to drown the voice of any
speaker, to prevent his being understood and
this is the feat which the Chicago heroes have per-
formed The time is not distant when they will be
ashamed of il.
The tolling of the bells is another achievement
Tor which they ought to have full credit. 1t has
been tried several places in New England, by way
OF Iamenation for the passage of a law giving the
people of Cansas and Nebraska the same power
which Massachusetts and Connecticut have, of regu-
atlng their own domestic affairs as they think pro
per why should it not be tried at Chicago? The
pulplts of many of the churches are turned into
trums why should not the bells of the churches be
used for the end AS TO the flags of the ship
ping being set at half mast, that is understood to
have been an expression of . indgnation,n because

The Price of Coal.

In the PottsVille Miners Journal of the latest
date, we find the following singular statement made
editorialy in reference the anthracite coal trade
OF that region
1.-The expediency of suspending shipments for at
least week during the present month, is now in
agitation among our operators, and the unanlmIty
that prevails among them, in favor of that policy,
far we have been able TO learn, proves how
easily it could be accomplished. We understand that
the object of this proposed movement, which may be
considered reliably certain is to sustain the trade
abroad-those who have laid up heavy stocks of coal
at high prices and high freights, and al the same
time to check certain efforts being made home
to reduce prices to a lower figure for the remainder
of the season. which would result in serious dlsas-
to the entire trade"
1t would not be easy to imagine more audaclous
effort take advantage of the public than this which
the editor OF the Journal notices without word OF
condemnation. Throughout the whole Of the pre-
sent season it has been ndustrously represented that
the demand for coal greater than the mining ca
pacity of the anthracite region could supply, and
that consequently prices could not 90 down, but must
go up. Being unable to help themselves, consumers
were obliged to submit, and many dealers have thus
been induced to lay in heavy stocks, in anticipation
OF the rise in prices. 1t must be clear from the above
quotation that this was gross deception, The mi
neTs could have furnished an ample supply, but did
not choose to do So They preferred to realize the
profits by less labor and now their study is TO
sustain prices And when there is prospect of our
obtaining cheaper coal by some arrangements which
the Journal hints at they conclude to check 1t by
stopping for a whole week the shipments. We sym
pahse with the g trade abroad who have been
vctmized by the Potsve operators, but that prices
should be kept up merely to prevent their losing is
prep osterous-PhiiG. North american.
