Bits of gossip'about the young Prince
Imperial are floating through Paris.
Here is one of them: 1t appears that the
Emperor after dinner one day proposed
the health of the new president of the
Imperial Commission for the great ex-
hibiion of 1867, and asked the Prince
Imperial to reply. The child said he
had been taken by surprise, and had not
been prepared for his fathers toast. The
Emperor said he must at least return
thanks. Well" said the Prince, all
l have got to say is that l regret being
too young to be of any service to French
industry

our soldiers and of all loyal people north
and south. Because some of these Ala.
bama Legislators do not like its senti-
ments they endeavor 10 tax it out Of cir
culation. This Is, to be sure, somewhat
better than they used to 10 before the
war, when they prohibited the circula-
ton of journals disliked by the rev
shareholders. But this act is bred OF the
same spirit Of Intolerance, and that Is q
spirit which the country VIII no longer
endure. The American people mean
| that sneech and discussion shall be free
| wherever the flag flies, henceforth.
They have paid, by costly and deadly
war for the imprudence of suffering
| this right to be restricted in the south.
They will not tolerate any invasion of it
hereafter. If the people of Alabama do
not like northern journals, they need
not buy them; no one will quarrel with
them for that. But the passage of this
tax law shows that there is demand
there for these journals, which these
legislators wickedly endeavorto check.
OF course, the present act is only an en-
terng wedge. If that holds, the legis-
lature may tax a newsvender one thou
sand or five thousand dollars for selling
any of the prohibited Journals; if they
may thus prohibit the sale of an illus
trated journal they may similarly for
bid that of daily, or of all the dailies,
printed out of the state, or in any parti-
cular state, and, if newspapers, then
any other articles of merchandise may
be thus kept out.
Let them do down there as the people
of New York do with the Daily Meas, a
! journal as hateful to loyal men and
women as Harper's Weekly is to the
bitterest rebel. 1t is not interfered with;
its proprietor prints and sells his paper
just as others do No special tax is laid
upon him; on the contrary, the paper is
supported in great part by the advertis-
| ing patronage of the Common Council.
| IF southern men knew how much they
| hurt their own cause by such acts as
| that of the Alabama legislature, they
would not, We think, pass them. -Neao

PRODUCTION OF Coal IN THE UNITED
STATES. The production of coal in the
United States is continually on the in
crease, as will appear from the follow
ing statement of the production OF coal
in the fiscal years 1868, 1864 and 1865,
the quantities being calculated from the
Internal Revenue report of the amount
of taxupon the production of coal Tons
coal produced: 1858, 15,500,0O0; 1864,
16, 300, 600; 1865, II, 200, GOO.
liz the year 1860 the production of coal
was estimated 10y the Superintendent of
the census at 100000 tons. The pro-
duction in 1860 was 100000 tous, an
increase in five years of 1000, 900 tons.
AT this rate of increase our production
in 1870 might be estimated at 10000, 900
tons. Thedevelopment Of manufactures,
however consequent on the adoption OF
a protective policy, will greatly increase
the production of coal, and it will be no
matter of wonder, if in 1870 its produc-
ton in the United States reaches total
of at least 25,O00,00 tons.
