Perm Coal Mining Company.

We learn from the La Sale Press that
this company have sunk their shaft to the
depth of 21S feet. 1t says:
The first or upper stratum of coal was
struck at the depth Of ninety-three feet
and it was expected to reach the second or
middle stratum at a further depth of fifty
three feet; but from some cause not yet
clearly Observation-Disclosures some error in
the geological calculations, or, what is posi-
bic, that that stratum is interrupted in that
locality-it has not yet been reached. For
the present, therefore, the process OF sink
ing will be suspended, and boring resorted
to, in order to ascertain the precise distance
it will be necessary to descend to arrive at
it, and make calculations accordingly.
The first stratum Of coal is of variable
thickness, but will average three feet four
inches, and is of good quality. Two drifts
have been started in this, penetrating to the
distance of twenty-five feet or more each,
from which they are already raising some
thirty or forty tons day.
The location Of the shaft could scarcely
be more favorable for sending the coal
abroad; being directly between the river
and the r. |. r. r., and but short distance
from either; thus affording facilities of the
best kind for shipping by either mode; aud
giving them the advantage of the Chicago
market, the demand in which will constant
ly exceed the supply.

ANOTHER SwISDLIsG LOTTERY SCHEME
The last Of those miserable swindling con-
Germs called "Gift Enterprises" Jeint
Stock Companies" or what you will, is the
Chicago "Doliar Weekly Herald" per-
son paying the concern one dollar receives a
receipt for tie :. Herald for one year, and
a ticket entirling him to a chance to draw
from nothing up TO $4,000. The end Of all
these rascally schemes is the same. Like j.
Woodr.an Nart's - Whole World" a few
years ago, the New York Leader" or a
dozen similar concerns we could name, the
paper dies before the year is up, the scoun-
drels who publish it being locked up if not
for that, then for some other piece OF rascal
ity, and the poor subscribers, of course, are
swindcd. We never heard Of concern of
the sort that did not end in this way, and
the man is fool that would touch one with
a forty foot pole. Mr.. T. Il. Dawley, at the
head OF this Chicago affair, has the impu-
dence TO ask Us, in a circular, to act as his
agent. Did he make the request to us in
person we should boot him down stairs.

Congressional Corruption.

The whole corruption business at Wash
ington, about which SO much has been said,
will end in smoke. Although the committee
have proof enough to satisfy any rational
mind that at least four members of Congress
have evinced a willingness to take money
for their votes and influence, the proof is Of
such a character that it will be faced down
will be expelled.
w. 4. Gilbert, Of n. v, it is clearly
shown, agreed for SI4, 900, to "leg" a reso-
luton through the House to purchase certain
books. This is proved by the testimony of
Sweeney, who made the contract with him,
and by Triplet, the author of the book
Gilbert also acknowledged to another wit
ness that he received square miles of land
by voting for the Minnesota land BILL
o. b. Matteson is proyed to have proposed
to pass the Des Moines Rapids bill through
the House if 500, 900 were contributed for
the purpose. As the contribution was not
made, the bill never passed.
Edwards is the man who made the fun
ny" offer of $1,000 to Paine, who "blowei"
him on the spot.
And WEIGH, of Maine, was willing to take
money in several jobs, but appears not to
have received any.
But although the investigating committee
are satisfied these men are guilty, and have
recommended their expulsion, the proceed
it will not be done Gilbert will make the
narrowed escape, but they will all retain
their seats.

DEATH or DIX. kANE.-Thc news of the
death Of DR.. KANE, the great arctic explorer,
will be heard with regret by the whole
American public. He died at Havana, on
the 18th inst, and by the steamship Ca
hawba his body was brought to New Or
leans, on the 23d inst, whence it was placed
en- route for Philadelphia. The marvellous
courage and resolution displayed by DIR. h.
in his famous Arctic expedition, which are
so manifest in his modest and elegant nara
tive, have made his name celebrated through
out the world. Yet aside from that expedi-
ton, his scientific achievements, and exten-
sive and daring adventures as a traveller in
China and other portions of the world, would
have marked him an extraordinary man.
DIR. K. was in his 35th year.

Swamp Lands.

1t will be seen by the proceedings Of the
Board of Supervisors, which we publish to-
day, that the sale of swamp lands in this
county has been Indefinitely postponed. A
partial investigation into the condition of
these lands has showed that most of them
arc already occupied by purchasers from
the United States, and that sale by the
county would involve endless litigation.
This whole swamp land business is full Of
knotty questions and difficulties enough to
craze Philadelphia lawyer. About 8, OOo,-
600 OF acres were returned by the surveyors
to the State as swamp lands under the act
of Congress. OF these about 1000, 600
acres were disputed by the u s., and the
balance regularly conveyed by deed to the
State. Subsequently the Central Railroad
Company, in selecting its alternate sections,
claimed some 600, 900 acres Of these lands
SO conveyed. Our Governor, the Railroad
Company, and the commissioners of the
General Land office thercupon got into a
muss. The commissioner decided that as
the lands were donated to the State for rail-
road purpores, they could not be again do
mated as swamp lands. He also decides
that the double minimum attached to the
other alternate sections takes from them
their character as swamp lands. The Gov
ernor holds up his parchment, giving the
State a clear title. The commissioner is
puzzled, and so the matter hangs. The ii.
tie Of our county is just as good as that Of
the State, and no better. Until the State,
the L. s., and the Central R. r. Company,
then, settle their hash, our county Supervi-
F, --.-Is@- hardly venture upon a sale.
