sW' Rev. Robert j. Breckinridge has ad-
dressed letter to President johnson, ask
ing pardon for his nephew Gen. John c.
Breckinridge, late Vice President, who is
in Paris in very reduced circumstances. He
urges that Gen. Breckenridge was mistaken
in his political views, but that his high
character as q man entities him to Execu-
tive clemency. Next to jeff. Davis, we
think that John G. Breckenridge is the least
deserving of oil the rebels, and certainly the
most ungrateful, as NO man, North or South
had received so many favors from the peo
pie of the loyal States, whom lie basely de-
serted. Had he listened to the earnest en-
treaties and advice of his patriotic uncle, he
would now occupy prominent position in
national councils, and would have saved
Kentucky, his native State, from many dis
graceful acts. We know these facts, for we
had them from the lips Of the Rev. Doctor
himself, who entertained warm natural
affection for his traitorous nephew, who, he
said, in all other respects, was most worthy
man.

RXPORTATIoSs OF COAL

~VVi'So FIIooijo-o
Average price at shipping point s6.49 a
ton.
1t will be seen by the above, that the
average price of Bituminous Coal imported
at the shipping points, is Sc n ton
Simply because it is mined near the seaboard;
while the Coal exported requires transpor.
tation to the seaboard, and the price is nearly
treble that of the English Coal at the place
of shipment. As the country cannot depend
on foreign supply, which may be cut off at
any time in case of difficulty, the true policy
is to encourage the development of our own
immense Coal fields, by protection, which
stimulates industry and creates competition,
which not only secures a full supply, but
lowers the prices to consumers.
The 3S8,277 tons imported from the Prov
inces, paid into the National Treasury in
1857, $465, All, nearly half million of dol
lars, while the consumers did no. pay one
cent more for the Coal than if it had been
duty free. Therefore, every vote in Congress
in favor of discriminating in favor of Nova
Scotia Coal, by reducing the duty to so cents
ton from 81 25, is robbing the National
Treasury of that sum, and voting it into the
pockets of Coal operators in foreign coun-
try, and saddling our people with so much
additional taxation.

If we can prevail upon Congress to take
the internal taxes of our domestic manufac-
lures, and adjust the tariff in the interest of
American, and not European interests, this
winter, the markets will take million tons
increase o. Anthracite in 1868, provided
transportation is reduced, so as TO give to
labor and the producer the reduction as
their profit, and thus keep prices at about
last years rates. But without protection to
American industry, the business will prove
as disastrous this year, as it was the las:
If it pays so as to start all the collieries,
their capacity will be found equal to furnish
any increase that may be wanted.

srANToNIAN pELIRIUM.

Tho above disease is prevailing TO an
alarming degree throughout the Union at
present. What is most singular, is the fact,
that its ravages are confined almost exclu-
sivcly TO that class of patients, improperly
called Democrats, especially editors ofnews-
papcrs. The mild or aggravated type Of
the disease, depends entirely upon the
amount of copper virus that has been in
halcd by the unfortunate victim. We re-
grct to sec that our neighbor, the editor the
Democrat is laooring under most violent
attack. Symptoms of the disease exhibited
themselves for some time past, but last
week it appeared in spasmodic and aggra
waited form. In one Of his paroxysms
our unfortunate neighbor gave utterance to
the following, which appears in the Demo-
erat of last week:
"He (stanton) is verify the ''lickspittlc"
of negroism, the "Pecksniff" OF hemp
deserving band of usurpers and traitors,
and the Noodle Tom" of spoon stealing,
liberty destroying God defying gang of
charlatans and FOOLS"
"America hos produced no other man
WHOSE tDlrSt LOT OulCt COulu lchu lin W
lick the spittoons of the Senate chamber"
"If Stanton wants and really must have a
situation, he might be accommodated as
hostler in any of the second class inns of
America. There are farmers who want their
fields fertilized, and slaughter houses where
cruel instincts and brutal natures can be
engaged"
Of course, our ncighbor should not be
held responsible for these halfucinatons OF
mind When he RECEIVERS from his present
delirium, he will, no doubt, apologize. He
is, when not excited by the virus referred
to, a most amiable citizen, and so circum.
spcct in language, that, in his lucid inter.
walls, he could not be induced to use an un
kind word, even when speaking of such in
CRATES and traitors as jeff Davis, Floyd
Mason, Slidell, and others. Surely the Of
fence of Stanton is not as rank as theirs.

THE DAILY NEWS.
April.

April has searched the winter land.
And found her petted flowers again;
She kissed them to unfold their leaves,
She coaxed thom with sun and ram
And filed the grass with green conten''
And made the weeds and clover vain.
Her fairies climb the naked trees;
And set green caps on every staiA'
her primroses peep bash1uHy ,,,.
From borders Of the garden waA'
And in the reddenins maple tops
Her blackbird gossips sit and talk.
Che creets the patient evergreens,
She GETS store of ancient gold,
c.;ves tasselled presents to the breeze,
And teaches rivers songs OF old
Then shakes the trees with stolen March winds
And laughs to hear the cuckoo scold.
Sometimes to fret the sober sun.
She pulls the clouds across his face;
But finds snowdrift in the woods,
Grows meek again and prays his grace;
Waits till the last white wreath IS gone,
And drops arSutus in the place.
Her crocuses and violets
Give all the world gay "Good yearF'
Tall irises grow tired OF green
And get themselves purple gear;
And tiny buds that lie asleep
On hill and field her summons hear.
She ROCKS the saucy meadow cups;
The sunsets heart anew she DIES;
She fills the dusk of deepest woods
With vague sweet sunshine and surprise,
And wakes the periwinkles up
To watch her with their wide, blue eyes.
A. last she deems her work is done,
And finds willow rocking chair,
IONS spectacles of apple buds,
Kerchief and cap OF almonds rare,
I'D sits very grandmother,
Shifting her sunshine-needles there.
And when she sees the deeper sun
That ushers in the happy May,
She aghs to think her time is past,
And weeps because she cannot stay,
And leaves her tears upon the grass.
And turns her face, and glides away.
