Mr.. GREELEY AND THE New YORK SUNS
INTERvIEwER.-Mr.G Greeley publishes card
in the New York San denying the accuracy
of the interviewcr's" report Of the con-
versation had with the philosopher of the
Tribune" last week, and published in the
New York San. Mr.. Greeley says that the
interviewer" concealed the fact that he
was a reporter of the Sun; denies that the
name of the Supreme Being was used by
him in that conversation, whether profaneil.y,
or otherwise that he did not say he would
have to testify on the trial of Mcfarland ;
and that he did not say he did not want to
hurt Mac, &c. Finally, Mr.. Greeley says
what he did say was substantially this
"That this marriage on dcath-bed, besides
giving the woman legal right to be a
mother to Richardson's young and doubly-
orphaned children, was operative mainly in
giving her right, throughout her black
and bitter future, to be called by the name
OF him who for her sake was so foully muir
dered, rather than that of his stealthy, COW.
ardly assassin and this small mitigation Of
her unreasonable woes l regarded as hui
name and just. That IS my opinion, and l
nropose to stand by.it."

ATLANTA, GA, December 13.-General
Morgan, 4 leading Democratic member OF
the Georgia Legislature, has published a
rejoinder to Congressman lifts letter, in
which he says:
"Neither Senate nor House intended to
submit the question Of eligibility of colored
members to seats III the Legislature. to the
never will rc-seat negroes, nor will it
pass the fifteenth amendment. These are
settled facts, For myself, I have been a

Of corrupt Congress-"
Democratic pal ers quote the above as q
manly sentiment and having the ring of the
true metal. General Morgan occupies the
seat of an expelled negro member. ...

The PENNSYLVANIA Coal TRADE.-Yes-
tcrday's Philadelphia Ledger thus speaks Of
the anthracite coal trade:
'.The coal trade, with the close of navi-
CATION, is Stacking off materially, yet the
orders for and the shipments of coal from
this point are considerably in excess of the
current receipts. For the last three days Of
last week there was quite an increase OF
orders for coal, fully maintaining prices.
There has been only a moderate supply OF
vessels at Port Richmond-the cold snap
a week or ten days ago was received by
CAPTAINS as a caution not to venture
too far north. The consequence was,
freight charges north were held high,
and an indifference to load south, eN-
ceDt to open ports, generally prevailed. Tie
few DAYS of warmer weather since has pro-
duced some change in this respect, and YES
sells are more numerous at about last week
rates. 4 number OF vessels are on their
way back from northern ports, and should
they return TO this port, venturing another
trip, instead of stopping at the inlets where
they belong, laying-up for winter quarters,
creased as to put down freights. The coal
trade by water, however, may be considered
over. =
"Yfle Reading railroad brought down for
the week 5000 tons against Pitt tons
for the previous week, and 123,26l tons
since the 1st instant, the beginning OF
the company's fiscal year, against CLIO
tons to corresponding time last year-an in
crease of g., 091 tons. This is starting the
new fiscal year favorably. The Schuylkill
canal shipped for the week 1884 tons
against 90, 427 tons the previous week, and
for the season, 692, 65S tons against $50, A
tons to same date in 1864 decrease OF
293, 7S5 tons.
1.-THE entire tonnage of all the carrying
companies for the week was 400, 472 tons
against 39S,571 tons the previous week. as
some OF the companies have ended their
fiscal years, we omit the aggregate annual
tonnage until the end Of the year, when the
account can be more accurately presented.
The annual anthracite production for 1869
will probably be about fourteen millions OF
tons-a quarter of million OF tons more
or less short of the tonnage of 1865"

Mr.. Paine said he supposed he might
have offered the resolution as question OF

taken to it, This was q question that the

should be report from the Committee on

Dir. Fincklenburg, Of Missouri, objected
to the resolution.
Mr.. Paine then moved to suspend Tue

Mr.. Logan, of Illinois, thought this very
unusual time to bring up this resolution,

been regularly raised. 1t has been decided
that that act was constitutional, ana no
