CLAW AND ORDER. This mornings Union
contains the following somewhat singular re-
Election on our structures on the action of the
Common Council with reference to the new
police bill:
" An evening contemporary seems Ia he anxious
10 ma an opportunity to attack the new Councils
OF the city, having seized upon their very first
act, as IL were, to call in question their motives
Inc amendments TO the police bill referred to
We're rejected for the reason that the Ro,rd 70
pose entire confidence in the Mayor to appoint
no person on the police who is member Of an
'ile9al or disorderly'' club a Ioit.rrr ahont
drinking houses, - or destitute of soood moral
character The Councils were evidently dis.
posed to hold the Mayor responsible for the an
poIntinrnt Of the police, and were; therefore,
unwilling in any way 10 stand between him and
his appointees."
The Union has surely found some novel
wrinkles in law and government as a tounda.
lion Tor this efusion. 1t amounts to this: be-
cause the City Council has confidence in the
mayor, 1t Is not incumbent upon il to iegisate
ior the Interests of the community If that is
It's theory. let it adjourn, then, and throw all
.he responsibility on the Mayor, saving the ty,
III .he meantime, the expense of supporting IL .
LUIS H' however, the first time we ever heard
the doctrine That legislative body may omit
ID perform us functions, because it has conf.
dence In tho executive branch of the govern
ment; and we contend that such a propos;tion
is not only based on false, but ridi ,ulouslv ah.
s Ird principles. :, u
The City Council is o legislative body. cre-
ated by the charter and elected by the neos,e
TO perform certain functions, and they falsify

Coal shipments.

For the week ending Saturday last, there was
SEN, 10 market from the Maryland mining re-
gIou 3q37O5 tons. OF this amount 2,654,0S
was shipped over the Georges Creek Coal and
Iron Company's Railroad, 649,l7 tons over the
Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad, and
6aiO over the railroad ofthe Hampshire Goa
and Iron Company. Total from the entire coal
region since January LIST, 22,sO3.O4 tons. Coal
operators are of opinion that a heavy business
will be done during the coming season. They
saw that tue stock on hand al the East is much
lighter than usual at this season. Consumers
NUT therefore purchase largely.
Coal SToCK.-The stock OF the coal com
panIes operating in this region has been, during
The financial crisis, very much depressed, selling
m some instances at one.tenth It's par value
Cumberland Coal was al one time down to ten
cents, bu, 1t has run up, and is now selling al
Ok traction over one fifth of its par value.
Two causes have combined 10 produce the
iepressiou-the stringency in the money mar
Ike, and the inability 10 declare and pay divi-
leuds.
Now tina, the rate OF ireights on coal has
been reduced we shall wait patiently 10 see
whether dividends will hereafter be declared

all the places reported last year was l,sis,46s,
and the previous year 2.4s9,5O2. The whole
number OF places reported last year was one
hundred and ninety. There is an increase in
weight OF from three 10 twenty pounds per hog
al nearly all the places heard rom, and as a
general thing the yield OF lard has been over
that of last year. There can be no doubt that
there is an increase in weight as compared with

In the House of Representatives, Mr.. Hoard
of New York, arose to a question OF priVi-
lepe, and sent a letter to the Clerks desk,
which was read.
The letter is from Mr.. Burns, of Ohio, to
Mr.. H., and states bat the latter gentleman
having had read from the New York Tribune,
on las, Friday. an extract containing charges
against MIR. b.. which if proven true would
incapscitate him from occupying a seat on the
floor of the House, denies the charges, and
desires that Mr.. ii. shall examine into their
truth or f~alsity, and in his seat IN the House
make such explanation as the circumstances
may require.
MIR. Ii. desired to respond to the letter, but
several gentlemen objected, that 1t was not a
legitimate matter for a question OF privilege,
and that Mr.. Ii. should make bis response
10 writing.
After considerable discursive debate, dur
ing which MIR. ii. endeavored to gam the
consent of the House to make his reply, the
matter was ruled out of order.
Ii was resolved, that when the House ad-
~jouru, it adjourn until Tuesday next.
The House went into Committee OF the
Whole, and took up the adverse reports OF
the Court of Claims on private petitions
The consideration Of these reports elected
considerable discussion.
