the Trustees of Colored Schools, was under con-
sideration In the Board of Aldermen last eve

proposed by the School Committee of that
Board, increasing the amount to be paid the
Trustees of Colored Schools from siO,491 so to
S7o,77i.6S. The amount in the original bill was
based o1 the proportion which colored children

" nat makes coal SO high Is the question
everywhere. 1t is not deficient supply, nor
Is 1t IN consequence of a lack Of men to work
the mines; nor have the rates of transportation
increased Neither is there n prospect of any
check in the liberality of the yield. The rise,
therefore, seems to be due entirely to specu-
latiye causes, which is further evidenced by
The tact that, without any increase Of supply;
indeed in face of the probable speedy closing
OF navigation, thereby cutting it off entirely,
prices are actually coming down, and 1t is
generally expected that the rates will be much
lower at the next than at the last Scranton
sale; in fact, the market is now anticipating
this result. The Philadelphia Ledger says the
demand is Stacking OFF a little and the price
of stove and egg coal has receded in order to
keep the trade moving. The fall in stove from
the highest point has reached nearly two dol.

HAMPTON, Chairman, recently Issued SD
address to the Democracy Of that State

First they congratulate the party upon
the general result of the late canvass 10
the State, which considering that the
Democracy were not organized uniii
last April, and that they fell only 3 little
short Of carrying the State for the Ma
ti0nal nominees, is extraordinary. The
National Democracy are fslicitsted upon
a gain owe the vote OF 1854 OF us I3I,
aud the noble stand they made for con-
stituticnal liberty. The party Is urged
70 preserve an unbroken oIgsuiz stion !:
70 sustzin the Democratic clubs Of ne
several Districts, and increase their eff
cheney for good by ENGRAVING Features
looking to the suhjec's Of immigration
agriculture, manufactures and educd
ton, 50 that an organized and system
ATTIC effort may be at once made to add
10 the population, 10 promote the indus
tries of the State, and to advance
the cause Of popular Intelligence" The
concluding paragraph Is devoted to en-
appeal to preserve the party ranks undi-
vided, to preserve their fidelity to the
eclectic principles Of the party, to go
braveIy to work in the field OF material
development, =" building up the State
upon the basis Of lsber. and surrounding
