THE COAL MINERS .SUSPEN-
MON

The extent to which the suspension OF |
work by the miners in the Schuylklil region
has zone. NAV be inferred from the fact, that
for the week ending last Thursday, the
quantity of coal sent thence was only 40
tons, against LOG, iss tons for the correspond
ing week last year. But the suspension has
only been general in the Schuylkill and Le-
high regions, and ths.fact seems to be that
the operators and miners there are merely
used as the catspaws to take chestnuts out
of the fire for the benefit of the Luzerne and
Wyoming regions. The object OF u suspen-
sion was to reduce the surplus stock OF coal
already mined, and maintain it at present
prices This, it was said, was necessary, in
order to prevent a larger accumulation oil
surplus, in the dull season, a consequent fall
in prices, and reduction of miners wages.
Both the operators and the men desired to
avoid this Of course.
The friends of the movement assert that The
capacity of the mining operations is greater
than the consumption, and that therefore
there must be either a suspension or a fai
in the price. The men in the Schuylkii,a n'
many in the Lehigh, regions, chose the Tor
mer alternative. That they have the RICH
to do so, if they choose, seems beyond qnes
ton, AT any rate, it would be idle to CON
plain about it.
But though the Schuylkill miners hay
now been idle two weeks, the surplus hit
been reduced in the market, only about 10
600 tons, leaving 1000 yet on hand. Meal
while the Luzerne operators have beeE stea'
lily at work, as well as some in the Sham
KIN, and number in the Wyoming regio
They have been forwarding full cargoes, al
their men making usual wages. So the ca
stood at the close Of last week, and t
Schuylkill people are naturally very 50
over the condition of things. The Pot
vile journal of the 22nd comments thus /;
at is now evident that the Schuylkilla
Lehigh would have to suspend almost ehti
ly for period Of four weeks more to redl
the surplus that would be thrown into
market. This Schuylkill cannot do and v
not do and thus bear the whole burthcn
she did last year,b which millions were |
into the pockets of those who worked on
This is the state Of the trade nov, and
question naturally arises, what is TO be don

From the Memphis Avalanche Of the tth.l
Henry Wright and Henry Mason are
two rival Henrys, both negroes, and en-.
dowed with high sense Of honor, and
q prodigious propensity to pugnaclous-
ness. Between the two families, OF which
the two Henrys are honored scions, there
has for some time back existed bitter
feelings of the kind spoken OF by a white
man named Shakespeare when he wrote
"Romeo and Juliet.n Yesterday, at
noon, the two Henrys met to talk family
matters. The time was noon, the place
an alley near the bayou, and between
Jackson and Overton streets, there was
no sylvan landscape, but the tinkling OF
the coffee colored contents OF the bayou
made q running accompaniment TO the
hoarse tones of the two knightly sables,
as they engaged In angry converse. Ere
long knightly courage was up and pis-
tolls drawn. One Henry shot, and the
bullet tore its way along the flesh on the
shoulder-blade of the other; rapidly q
second bullet was sped after the first, and
this time II glided into the neck, under
Henry's jaw, and rested In his mouth.
He spit II out and prepared to take re-
venge. But the bastard who had taken
two shots was fleeing as no knight should
flee, and the ball sent after him struck
where no knight should be wounded
In the back OF his neck. Both Henrys
were laid ON beds OF pain, and their
necks were both subjected to surgical
scrutiny-when IL was announced as
probable that, after some suffering from
oretbroats, the two Henrys would "live
10 fight another day.

Concerning the Victims at Dry Tor.
. tugaS.


There is but one opinion amorg candid
men respecting the prisoners confined at
the Dry Tortugas for alleged completely
in the assassination of Lincoln, and that
is this, those prisoners are innocent aud
should be released, even if they arc
guilty of what has been charged against
them, they have already suffered enough.
The Boston Advertiser, speaking Of
these prisoners says:
"Nobody ever conceived that Arnold
was guilty of anything beyond the plot
to abduct; there are grave doubts
whether O'Laughlin. now dead was i'm.
plicated further than that, and the com.
mission which tried them understood this
fully or they would have been sentenced 1
to the gallows, instead of for life at the
Tortugas. Spanglcr, whose six years
term is now moro than half expired, is
undoubtedly an innocent man, knowing
nothing Of either plot; hut everybody
who ever examined tho matter. except
Pres d mt johnson, became c, nv need oi
this long ago"
The Alexandria (Va.) Gazette adds
1--WE believe DR.. Mudd to be entirely
innocent 1t is time that this outrage
upon justice and humanity should cease,

Duel.

The Republicans Washington special
says: A duel was fought in this city on
the 25th ult. between an officer of the
regular army on duty here, and whose
name could not be asccrtaincd, and Phi |
Forney, a son of the Hon j. W. Forney,
the weapons being pistols, at twenty pa
ces. Three shots W re exchanged, by
which Folney was twice wounded and
the officer once, but neither fatally. 1,
is thought Forncy may lose his hand
The principals were eager to fight the
quarrel out, bat after blood had been
drawn on both sides, tho seconds inter
vencd and declared that as the gcutle
mems honors had been maintained, they
should be satisfied. The slight misun
lers,andins arose iu the dining room Of
Willards, lady being in the case, and
the quarrel could only be adjusted by
the rigors Of the code. Forucy's soconf
was Il. I. Shelly, Of New Orleans, for
mcr correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, Washington Chronicle and New
York Tribune.

BrOwnlOw's kiugd0m-Fight Be.
tween Whites and Negroes.

NASHVILLE, Dec. 26.-Christmas was
prolific Of number Of drunken brutes,
cutting and killing in and around Nash
vile. On the Murireesboro pike, eight
miles from tho city, q fight took place
yesterday evening between about dozen
negroes and 6vo white men, in which
four Of the former were badly wounded.
The ARRAY grew out Of a misunderstanding
between a colorcd man and his employer
in regard to somc unpaid wages. The
negro, getting no satisfaction, went off,
and soon returned with reinforccments.
The white man, whose name is Davis,
had by this time also got reinforcemcnts,
and a pitched battle with guns and pis
tolls commenced. The whites being in
trcnched, tho darkies were finally driven
of with their ranks thinncd.--Republi-

The Radicals and General Grant

The Radicals and General Grant.
From the following special to the Re-
publican, dated Washington, Dec. %, it
might DO inferred that affairs are not pro
crossing very harmouiously in the Radi.
cal camp:
The fear among the Republicans Of
rupture between Grant and the Radical
party is deepening daily. Gen. Grant is
known to be IN favor Of repeating the
tenurc.of Office law, of the passage Of
Jcncke's civil service bill after the trans.
fer Of the Indian Bureau to the War De-
par,mcnt, of stopping subsidies to the
Railroad, and of breaking up all the Rad
ical thcviny rings in the country. Fear.
ing his power, the Radicals appear in
cincd to hold on to the civil.tonurc act
in order that, when they get one Of their
own kin ! in Office, they may be able to
keep him there. BY transfer Of the In
dian Bureau to the War Department, they
will lose large amount Of patronage in
the appointment Of agents, supcrintcnd-
ents, and other officers, and large
amount Of percentages in contracts and
annuities. Jcnckes civil service bill
would Gu. off an immense revenue Of pub.
lie plumber, whose appointment the Radi
calls hope to control for party purposes,
instead of making the officer contingent
in the capacity o.. candidates. TO all of
these sorrows Of the Radicals is added a
feather which will probably complete the
burden Of their endurance. This is the
assertion of Grant recently, that he con-
sidcrcl the faithful administration of
public business head and shoulders above
the claims OF PARTY, and that he is an en-
cmy hcncefo tn to the principle that party
services are claim for public office
Gen. Gran. declared that he will not re.
move officers who have been faithful to
their trusts, merely because any political
party demands it, This being his de.
clared intention, the question comes as to
the desperation Of the large number OF
faithful officers already in the service OF
tho Government, whom tho Radicals de.
sire to get out Of tho way, in order to
make 70 I'm for those who have been oi
greater service to the party. The Radi'
calls are also ncensed at Grants reticence
They advise him very freely, but they
com plain that he does not manifest any
disposition to act on their advice, ant
5 that they are ignorant as to his prcfercn
ces of men. Altogether tho fight seems
to have fairly begun, and it may b.
. looked forward to by outsiders with rar'
I interest.
