THE DEMOCRATS AND THE NEGRO.

AND NGOhOs
Some Of our readers will recollcct how
exultant the democrats became. at their
late convention in this county when their
Orator, Mr., Bailey announced that "tLe
niggers' were going to vote for Seymour
and Blair Mr. Bailey did not tell his
hearers what kind of suosion was to be
used to induce the colored man to thus
stutify himself. be knew that his hear
ers had no scruples upon that score. That
party has never late years, made any
objection to gives, manacles nor blood
extorting screws" to persuade the mig
ger" that they,-the Denis, were their
best friends. But recent events have con-
WINGED all the world except these stupid
Democrats, that the sold nanny" argu
ment is played out. The negros will not
vote for their oppressors, and so these
lind, indulgent guardians of the poor col
bred man, have commenced to manifest
he cordiality of their affection in the
manner most congenial to their natures.

The general opinion is that this new reVo-
iutionary scheme will be favorably con
sidered by The Radicals. It's effect on the
New York Convention will be to raise the
value of johnson stock. -
The news from the convention Tonight
is somewhat conflicting. There are those
who think that Hendricks is ahead, and
others who think that Chase ia coming to

the subject the President said ioculariy,
"The party will find ont before il ballots

replied, "Pendleton is a good man, but q
little too high up in the picture galleries to
do much before the people" His prefer
ence is for Hancock, but he does not pre-
tend to conceal the satisfaction which the
nomination of himself would give him.
As to old Thad. Stevens impeachment

The bummers from North Carolina will

From the Philadelphia Ledger, July 2
Almost every description of trade is as
near at stand as we have almost ey er
known il TO be in this CITY. Beginning
with our great staples-iron and cOal-we
are informed that the trade in neither
affords any profit. Pig iron would prob
ably pay at current prices if there was any
considerable demand for it; but it does not
pay manufacturers to work it up. The
trade in it is necessarily very slack, and
while this is the case with the iron trade,
on the spirit and success of which an active
coal trade 30 much depends, it is not sur
prisiog that those engaged in the latter
complain not only Of low prices, but of lack
Of demand at any price While the pro
dnction Of coal keeps up, the demand for II
is very light. The tonnage to the close OF
last week amounted to 5,644,3l3 tons,
against 5,l26, 095 tons TO the same time last
year, showing an increase of 5l7, ,2lo tons.
The increased shipments Of coal within the
last week or two indicate a belief that the
prices Of coal have touched bottom. In
the mining region there has been small
advsnce in prices, but as yet they are an
changeable in the Lehigh and Schuylklii
regions.

A BOND QUESTION.

The New York San reports the following
rather novel case;
A petition has been submitted to Con-
gress by the husband of a lady who was lost
on the steamer Evening Star, in October,
1866, stating that bis wife had in her pos
session, and carried down into the sea with
her, six ten-fOrty bonds of the United
States, of which he gives the numbers, and
asking for the issue Of duplicates. The
mysterious fact connected with the affair is,
that the coupon for March l, 1867, of one
of these very bonds, judging by its number,
has since been redeemed by bhe Assistant
Treasurer at New York. Were there two
bonds issued bearing the same number? or
the claim bogus one The petitioner
admits that it is possible his wife sold two
or three of the bonds in question; and
under all the circumstances the Committee
on Claims, TO whom his petition was re-
ferred, recommend no action until it can
be ascertained whether coupons from the
other bonds are or are not presented.
