and the test Of the constitutional amendment
Of Congress on the question Of restoration,
Mr.. Johnson's new policy, we think, should be
unsettled foreign affairs and financial policy
directed against the pet national bank system,
as 1t now stands, of the late Secretary of
the Treasury, now Chief Justice Chase Mr..
Seward, in his temporizing and dawdling
with Louis Napoleon and his protege, Maxi
macy with England in reference to the depre-
dations of such Anglo-rebel cruisers as the
Alabama and Shenandoah, and in regard to
the deceived and disguised Fenians has been
and remains dead weight upon President
johnson. A new man in his place, who would
make short work with England and France,
would at once lift the administration high in
the respect and confidence of the American
people Of all parties; and new Secretary of
the Treasury, who would boldly strike out for
q thorough and wholesome reconstruction Of
Mr.. Chase's pet bank system, turning the sops
Of twenty-five or thirty millions year which
those banks receive from the government into
the public treasury, would revive In favor of
Andrew Johnson the old enthusiasm Of the
country which supported Andrew jackson in
his war against Biddle's Bank Of the United
States.
The prevailing sentiment Of the North is in
favor of General Grant for the next Presi-
dency; but the financial managers and radical
leaders identified with the political interests
Of Mr.. Chase look to these national banks for
the pressure which, when the time comes, they
calculate will secure his nomination as the re-
publican candidate. Here, then, is field
the field Of financial reform, in which Presi-
dent johnson may win imperishable laurels.
In truth, with q new, vigorous and dashing
foreign policy, and bold and comprehensive
policy Of financial reform, strengthening the
national securities, the national faith and the
national currency, he may still be able to
control Congress and the great question Of the
Presidential succession.

effect that "treason must be made odious and
traitors must be punished;" that "after making
treason odious every Union man should be re-
munerated out OF the pockets of those who have
inflicted this great suffering on the country"
that in regard to the Union men Of the late
rebel States, II hold 1t 10 be high duty to
protect and secure to them . republican form
of government until they again gain strength"
that "they must not be smothered by inches;'
that "traitors should take back seat in the
work Of restoration;" that 1--WE must not be in
too much Of hurry;" with much more in the
same radical vein. Mr.. Cooper, next quoting the
old maxim that "the sin of ingratitude is worse
than witchcraft," pleads that the government be
not guilty Of this sin towards the Southern
black race, and that we have nothing to fear in
giving them justice. Finally, Mr.. Cooper ex-
presses the hope that "you president Johnson)
will see, before it is entirely too late, the ter
rible danger Of taking counsel with Northern
men In sympathy with rebels, who fought the
government with all the energy Of desperation
to accomplish the destruction Of our govern
ment, instead Of taking counsel with those
friends who elected you"
This Is the gist Of the letter. 1t is valuable,
at least, as one of the signs Of the times which
show the drift Of public opinion, and the tre-
mendous moral pressure Of the Maine election
and the causes controlling 1t. We regard the
contest between the President and Congress as
virtually decided by Maine. We bow to the
judgment Of the people Of the mighty North,
and we trust that the President will shape his
course accordingly.

Pennsylvania Coal.

The returns of the anthracite coal trade Of
Pennsylvania, collected by the Miner Journal
present some very interesting facts. The whole
quantity mined and sent to market, during the
year 1865, was 9,4ss,3s6 tuns. At an average
price of So 90 per tun this gives the enormous
sum of 75,907 ,l6s. The bituminous and semi
bituminous coal of the State is not included in the
above statement. If it were added, the total
value of the Pennsylvania coal trade Of the year
would probably reach ninety millions of dollars.
The actual value of the coal itself does not rep
resent its whole Importance to the State. The
vast number of people who make a living by min
ing it numerous railroads aud canals to which it
gives traffic; the hundreds of furnaces, rolling
mills and machine shops that are supplied by it,
and the infinite variety of other industries that
are maintained by it, are wholly beyond human
calculation. New York, New England, and many
other States, derive nearly their whole supply of
coal from this State, and pay to our people the
larger part of the represented as the value Of
the coal product.

DIR. f. CLAPHAM's FORT MADISON
LECTURE ON THE CHEMISTRY OF

The Doctors audience in our village on
rnday evening last was respectable, although
the Violin announced in several of our Halls
that the Chemistry of Light would have to
compete with ''the light fantastic toe" We
are satisfied, however, that not one of the
attendants upon the Lecture regretted that
they had preferred the Poetry of Science to
That OF motion, upon the occasion alluded to.
Dr' CLAPHAs Is possessed of that thorough
acquaintance with those branches of science
which he is accustomed to handle and tho,
enthusiasm In relation to the same, which
are SO essential to the popular Lecturer. and
gifted with sonorous voice. he enunciates
with genuine English distinctness.
Having explained the properties of the diff
ferent prismatic rays in regard to temperature.
vegetation, and otherwise, he alluded to the
discovery long ago made in regard to the
accomplishing influence of light upon silver.
But this germ of scientific truth long Law
without being utilized. Thus does man ex.
piore the coasts of science for long periods
without making the fortunate harbors until
the right hour has struck. He then described
the brilliant discovery ofDaguerre and his co.
aoJu'or' the fruit of ten or fifteen years ex.
penmentation-reached about quarter of a
century ago. tie next showed us how light
painting had been wonderfully facilitated and
improved by the discovery Of Collodion. or
the solution of gunpowder cotton. whereby
what was designed to destroy is employed in
cheering embellishing and instructing. So
does a blind man often invent 'smore wisely
tnan he knows" Next were explained the
ueve'opment of the ght-picture by means of
cnem'eal wash and also the various prac-
acai applications of Photography. We con.
graduate the still young Professor mon his
prospects, ability and success in the lectur.
