= ANTHRACITE CoAL-Attention is direct
ed to the advertisement of John Robinson
SaCo, dealers in Anthracite and Bitumi-
nous Goals, coke, sewer-pipe, friedrich, etc.
The HMessrs. Robinson have long had the
reputation of dealing in the best quality of
Bitdminous coal brought to this market,
and have lately added Anthracite coal to
their stock. This coal, little known in the
west, makes no smoke nor cinders, throws
out greater heat and lasts about three times
as long as Bituminous coal. The article
OF stone sewer-pipe offered by Robinson &
Co, is superior to any other piping sold in
central Ohio, and is held at very low rates.

Congress and TO tho Senate for the term
beginning In 1856, and served till 1861,
acting as a member of the Judiciary
Committee, and the Committees on Public
Ruildines and Grounds and Indian Affairs.
His course in the Senate secured his selection
for thc fern ending 1861 and he has thus been
member of that body for ~ years lie was APP
noipted Regent of the Smithsonian Institution
in 1864 Many of the important measures which
ORIGINATED in the Senate during and since the
war were prepared by him. The Freedmen's
Bureau bill owed much to his labors, and his
speech in answer 10 Mr.. Johnson's message
ACCOMMODATING its veto, had marked inllu-
ence on the country. Mr.. Trlmbull was
also earnest and influential in advocating
tbe Civil Rights BILL and has this session sus-
tanned the great principle of the Suffrage dill
for the District of Columbia, voting also that
educational tests shall not be imposed upon
voters. He is Chairman of the Judiciary Com
mittee, and member of the Committees on In
dian Affairs, and Public Buildings and Grounds.

The advocates of Impartial Suffrage in our
City, and especially the race who have so long
been the victims of prejudice and prescription,
propose to celebrate, on Thursday next, the
passage by Congress Of the District Suffrage
act, by meeting at Cooper Institute. They
will have therein the hearty sympathy, and
probably the personal presence, of many emf
nent citizens, among whom we are at liberty
to name Gov. Hamilton Fish. Among those
invited and expected to speak arc VIM. Lloyd
Garrison, Gen. Butler William +. Dodge,
Wendell Phillips, Henry Ward Beecher Stewart

The article on our Wharves and Piers, which
we print on another page, will be found es-
pecially interesting and suggestive in connec-
tion with the bill for the creation of Metro
pOlitan Board of Commissioners of Wharves
and Piers which the Citizens Association are
now urging upon the Legislature. IL there is
anybody who does not know how utterly dis
graceful and abominable are the accOmmOda-
tons we afford our vast shipping interest, how
far we are behind other cities in particular
wherein New York, of all places, ought to ex-
eel, and how disastrous our present wharf sys-
TEN must ultimately prove to the commerce Of
the port, let him read this article and he will
be wholesOmcly amazed. A year ago we had
152 piers and bulkheads, of which only tiUe were
in good order, and five in fair order! Since
that time the condition Of the wharves has
been gradually getting worse, and many of
them are now not only useless but dangerous.

cILE1p EENETOLENCE.

There are now in aud about Washington
many thousands of Blacks, most of whom fled
from Slavery and Treason 10 find freedom and
safety under the protecting folds Of the Stars
and Stripes Some of them are widows and or
phans of soldiers who died i'm the National ser
vice; nearly all are members of families who
strongly desire 30 remain such. The single men
and women have nearly all found places else
where, or are doing well where they are; but
the fnmilics-cspecially when composed excu-
siyely of women and childIen-renaln ON hand,
and have greatly oycrstocl,cd the local market
for such labor rs they can perform. Hence
idlcncss. prvation suffering; hence, in some
cases. thUftlcssneSs, decentralization, ana crime.
We asl, the better citizens of every neighbor-
hood where more labor but especially more
household labor, is wanted, TO club together sub
scribe n few dollars each, and send one OF their
number To Washington. Let him call at once
on Mrs. Josephine s. Griifng, Agent of the
National Frecdmcn's Relief Association, and ask
her aid in selecting from the thousands under
her eye such families rs shall be deemed best
adapted 10 the wants Of those he represents.
Let all distinctly understand that what Is
wanted is wORK-thc genuine nrtcle-that no
one has my notion of supporting them in idle
ness and luxury or paying them more than they
shall oan-that nothing is promised them but
conformity 10 the dictates of justice and hui
mainly. But let each family be assured that
whatever its members shall earn beyond their
own subsistence shall be promptly paid them;
that regular contracts for service nnd payment
will be made with them so soon as their ca
pacity and efficiency shall have been demon
stratcd md that, assuming their good be-
hayior, they must soon be earning fair wages;
and there will be no difficulty in obtaining
almost any physical labor that can be needed,
and on reasonable terms.
Whoever visits Washington on this GRAND of
genuine charity should go armed with letters
and credentials assuring his integrity and moral
worth lIe should he far above driving hard
bargains and grinding the faces of the poor.
We do not commend this as a device for Sc
curing cheap labor; we assume that the people
to DO thus obtained will want every cent they
earn, will be but moderately skillful and cffiS
ccnt and will require teaching and the exer-
else of much patience at the hands of their
employers. We urge the humane and generous
to try this as mode OF doing great good mt
moderate risk and cost while fully aware that
their best efforts may be squandered on UNI
grateful, dishonest, and inveterately thriftless
objects of their compassion. But no one should
grudge the few dollars that the experiment
may cost him, though his only reward should
be the consciousness that ho had unselfishly
tried TO do little good. And please rcmem-
Der not to delugc Mrs. Griffing with letters
without inclosing stamps for return postage

Very many plans Of rapid, cheap transit have
already been aired; several OF them possessing
considerable merit. The most comprehensive,
the least Objectionable, and the most satisiae-
tory. of all that We have 80 far examined, IS
that of the Metropolitan Transit Company,
whereof o model is on exhibition at their OF
fee, No. $50 Broadway. This plan cOntem-
mates three railroad tracks, one above another !:
the lower or basement track being devoted to
ont of-town trains, especially freght-trains I'M
pcllcd by steam; the second, or grOund-toor
track being given TO a horse railroad, stop
ming wherever passengers wish to enter
or leave, save while crossing street !;
the third or second-flOOr track being assigned
to swift passenger trains propelled by station
ary power acting on an endless chain, and only
stopping at specified stations, half mile to q
mile apart, and there receiving from or con-
signing to the hOrSe-Cars passengers who have
| been or are to he conveyed by them to or from
some point short of the next station. The ad-
vantages of this plan are as follows;
/. ANY conceivable number of passengers may
NE brought from Yonkers or Fordham to the
Battery or any point short of it in thirty to forty
minutes.
.. They are so conveyed out of the crowd and
dust of the streets, and where they are mainly
shielded from sun and storm.
2. broadway and all the great avenues are
relieved from the dread Of invasion by roil-
roads-ths road avoiding all streets save in
crossing those which run from east to west !;
and this crossing Is mainly done either under
ground or overhead
a. Instead of using the public streets, this
road buys its way through houses and yards,
having outright the valuation of all the prop
erty taken.
.. Its basement story is carried above the
water-pipes, gas-pipcs, and sewers, which 1t dls-
turbs but at a single point (Canal-streeD, where
they will have to be slightly depressed or the
grade of the street raised TO give it underground
room.
O. All our present milrOads-lludsOn River
Harlem and New-Ilaven-may run their trans
over il if they choose, and thus attain speed
which is dangerous while they rlln on the grade
of the avenues. And the objection to such run
ming steadily grows as our uptown population
increases.
7. Out-Of- town people entering our City by
railroad will be set down mt or near their sew
erul hotels or homes instead of being all turned
out mt one spot on Twenty -siXth-st. or Ihlr-
ticth-St.
6. Though this treble road will probably cost
siOOOO,OOO, so vast will be its business that 1t
is expected to carry passengers any distance
within the City for six cents
Possibly objections may be made to the
plan which do not strike ia, or a better one
may be suggested. Let tho Legislature do the
very best for us it can, but at all events do
something. Our present facilities for getting
into and out of town are far oVtgrown, so that
the need Of better is very urgent. Let us have
it supplied forthwith.

of manuscript speech, in which it was sug-
gcsted that the President was privy TO the assas-
sination of his predecessor. Upon this portion of
the manuscript in question, Mr.. Hale of New

ruled that according to precedent and law Il
member may state the grounds on which he
advocates a motion for impeachment before
actual proceedings of impeachment are begun.
The resolution, after lively debate, went over

METROPOLITAN TRANSIT

The City of Ncw-York, unlike any other, is
eight times as long as its average breadth;
and this formation involves an enormous daily
movement of its population on north and south
lines between their dwellings and their places
OF business. The broad avenues and narrower
streets leading up and down town are thronged
with eager pedestrians or passengers, while q
very few only Of the transverse streets are
much Travelled. Probably hundred thousand
persons ride up and down town IN horse rail-
cars or in omnbuses on each secular day.
In the morning, the cars down town are uncOm-
fortably packed with human beings; as are
those going up town in the afternoon OF even
ing. Multiplying street railroads and stages
scarcely serves to abate this pressure, while it
renders our great thOroughfares unfit for other
use. In fact, they have become, to great cx-
tent, mere cOnvcniences for horse railroads
And transit on these is so slow rs to deprive
most Of us of the little leisure We otherwise
might hope for. The mechanic who lives in
Harlem, Manhattanyillc, Morrisania or Yonkcis,
and does ten hours faithful labor per day in
the lower or business wards of our City, spends
from two to three hours more in getting to and
from his work. and has scarcely more time
left than he requires for eating and sleeping
TO reduce the term of transit One-half is to
save at least one hour per day to at least 100,
900 people who badly need 1t, while allowing
magy thousands t9 gys " 1e City % thy pre-
