The CoaI-Kfnxs.

The unprecedentedly high price of coal, and
other descriptions of fuel, has been a serious
tax upon the incomes of our industrial popu-
lation during the last year, and it has also
been a serious cause of complaint to those
whose comforts has been materially abridged
thereby. 1t has been stated by the coal kings
that the enhanced price of coal, was the le-
climate result of the laws of political econo-
nv; that the demand was larger than the pos
sble supply; that there were not miners
enough to take out more than was required
for immediate use; and that there were not
ships enough to convey it from the coal dis
tricts, to the North eastern markets. Con-
sumers, on the other hand, have complained
that unfair means have been resorted to. by
the coal operators, to aggrandize themselves
at the expense Of the people, whose comfort
during winter is so largely dependant upon
cheap supply of fuel. The Pottsville (Pa.)
Miners Journal, the organ of the coal masters
has set all speculation to rest on this subject
Hexposes, with the coolest and most auda-
cious affrontery, the designs of the coal spec-
ulators to compel the people during the ensu.
ing winter,to pay an advance upon the present
enormous rates Tor coal. This cannot be done
if the coal business is honestly and fairly con-
Quoted; they are therefore, intending to sus-
pend all shipments of coal for at least one
week, during the present month. The Minor $
Journal says =
"We understand that the object of this pro-
posed 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 at the same time to check certain efforts
being made nearer home, to reduce prices to
a lower figure for the remainder of the season,
which would result in serious disasters to the
entire trade"
The dastardly, cold-blooded impudence of
the above proposition, can only be excelled by
the atrocity of its execution. The poor may
shiver with the cold, during the bitter frosts of
winter; or they may die beside their black
hearths, but coal spectators must not suffer-
They must have their per cents though the
coin they are paid in may represent the star

A Row AT NEwARK.-Newark,N N. j., Sept.
5. As a large procession of the American
Protestant Association, numbering about D.
900, was parading to day, riot from some
unpleasant cause, occurred at the corner of
William and Shipman streets. Several per-
sons were seriously injured, and in conse-
quence, the Catholic Church was completely
Quilted.
An Irishman named Thomas Comtrey was
shot in the abdomen, and the wound will
probably prove fatal.
Additional accounts state that the Protest
ant Association were attacked without cause
by the Irish Catholics, at the Catholic church,
in William, near High street. Shots were
discharged and stones thrown from the win
dows Of the church, when the doors were
burst open by the Infatuated Protestants.
There were some twenty Irish Catholics found
inside, but they all escaped through back
entrance. In less than ten minutes the
church was a complete wreck inside, the pull
pit being defaced, seats torn up, windows
smashed, &c. Only one person was fatally
injured so far as is known.
After the procession had reformed, and
while on their way to the depot, The Catho-
lies made second attempt upon them, throw
ing great many stones, but without much
effect.

A FATHER KILLED BY HIS SoN.-Ize Lat
derdGke (Miss.) Republican records another
deed of blood in Kemper County. Mr.. Lock-
lair, man who was generally respected by
his neighbors while sober, was last week
killed by his own son. Locklair was an ha-
bitual drunkard, and lately moved from KEN
per County to the western part of the State
leaving his son behind him. After some time,
Mrs. Locklair was compelled, in consequence
of his brutal treatment while drunk, to leave
him. She arrived at her sons, after having
walked nearly one hundred miles, The son
dutifully bought and presented her with
piece of land, upon which she moved, and
also furnished her with necessaries and sup
ported her afterwards by his daily labor.
Some time elapsed when Locklair returned,
behaved himself well for time, but soon be-
came intoxicated, and siezing knife attempt"
ed to take the life of his son. The young
man tried to avoid him, but all in vain. The
wretched father was upon himthe deadly weap-
en- uplipted, when the miserable son was COM
PEELED to take the life of his wretched parent
in order to save his own, which he did by
shooting him through the head. Locklair
expired Immediately, a victim to intemperance
leaving his wife and son to drag their weary
lives along the path of life; fate more
wretchedly miserable than that of the unfor-
tunate, yet abandoned father.

New YORK DEMOCRATIC CoNvENTIoN-The
State Convention of the New York SottS is in
session at Syracuse. Gov Seymour has for
mally declined re- election, and it was sup
posed yesterday morning that Preston King
stood the best chance for the nomination. if a
new candidate should be named, but the pos
sibility was, that Seymour would be renomin-
ated, notwithstanding his declination. 1t is
said that the delegates from all the counties
but three are anti n ebraska. but the Nebraska
men, including the delegation from New
York city, had threatened to withdraw in a
body, if anti Nebraska resolutions We're passed
1t is probable that the matter will be got over
without any expression of opinion thereon.

disappeared. On searching the woods, many
of the carcases have been found drawn into
the under brush, and covered with leaves, the
blood Of each having been sucked out through

SENATOR DoUGLAs.-We learn by the &C
counts from Chicago, yesterday, that the tele-
graphic dispatch, stating that Douglas was
not allowed 10 speak, was incorrect. bespoke
between one and two hours, in the course of
which he was very savage and abusive toward
his opponents, especially toward the Tribune,
a Republican paper at Chicago. His abuse
of that paper was every time received with
deep groans by the audience, followed with
the most tremendous cheers for the Tribune.
His defence of himself was continually in
terlarded with appeals and questions to the
audience, which brought forth the most pun
gent and cutting replies. Finally the Senator
got into great passion, and denounced the
meeting as a mob, sc. Great "noise and con-
fusion" ensued and finally the little Giant
was obliged to retire amidst the derisive shouts
of the audience, but without any attempt at
personal injury. The affair is considered as
most overwhelming demonstration of public
sentiment against Douglas, at the place which
he claims as his home The defeat is the more
signal, as great pains had been taken to make
it strong demonstration in his favor. His
friends had been brought in from all the
country about, and even from remote parts of
the State, and the Irishmen of the city were
paid % cents head to be present, to swell
the number, and to overawe his opponents.
Douglas may consider himself defunct.
