The Philadelphia Ledger says the anthracite
coal trade may he quoted steady in all its de-
partments. The production continues quite
large, which keeps up the tonnage of the several
carrying companies. and prevents any advance
in prices. The coal year Of the Reading Rail
road ends with the current month. and consid
ering how long and seriously coal production
was interrupted in the Schuylkill region during
the current year, its business is much larger
than could have reasonably been expected in
surfing, it is reported, a 8 per cent. dividend ut
the approaching semi-annual period. The en-
tire coal production for the year will be larger
than was estimated, and will very considerably
exceed that of any previous year.
The same paper says "The retail price of
Schuylkill coal in this city is complained of as
high. We saw bill on Saturday for Schuylkill
stove coal, in which the price charged was 81. so
per ton. This with coal selling at the mines at
"a per ton, is too much. The transportation
and manipulation Of the coal in the market here,
should not, in reason, double the cost of mining
| and preparation at the mines.'
"A number Of mines in the Schuylkill region
| have stopped work and others are being worked
with reduced forces. The same is also true of the
Shamokin region.
The total tonnage OF all the Anthracite semi
anthracite and bitumnous coal regi.ns for the

THE U. 8. SENATOR.

We have rumor, now, through Democratic
sources, that the next U. S. Senator from Della
ware has been pitched upon, in the person of
Ex-Congressman Hon. John W. Houston, the
accomplished author of our State REPORTS and
one of the Judges of our Courts. Some people
down the State, (where these things are fixed,you
know think Clancy Jones has too recently un-
packed his carpet-bag, and that Judge Houston,
besides being an older resident, has all the quail
itcations which can be claimed by the ex Minister
of the Gospel, and ex-Minister to Austria.
There is little or no doubt that the Saulsburys
carried their ticket in Kent by promising that
none of the Family would be candidates for the
vacancy left by willard, but there is just about
little doubt, in our mind, that when the pie is
opened, next January, the Nhite-blackbird who
wears the Senatorial badge will be found to be a
salisbury. 1t would seem totally unnecessary
for the Governor TO give up the fruits of his sue
cess at the late election, especially for Clancy
Jones, and even to SO amiable gentlemen as
Judge Houston. We say to Cove, Go in now's
vour best chance

From the Commercial Of Monday

Heavy Fighting III France.
The accounts OF French victories. published in
this mornings papers, come from the special
London correspondent Of the New York World,
and the statements seem 10 be crcumstantial
They report series of battles, on Saturday, at
various points in all of which they say the French
were successful.
The kilograms which We print this afternoon,
indicate that battles have taken place in two
general localities. Paladines, with his army Of
the Loire has been fighting at several points,
near Orleans, the places as mentioned this morn
being Melville, Artenay yendome, and Others
Our telegram represents that all along the Loire,
in this part of the general field, the French have
the advantage.
Other engagements, however, are taking place
hundred miles away to the north of these
localities, around Amiens, and here, according
to the details furnished this afternoon, the result
seems more favorable to the Germans, Yester-
day battle took place at yillers, ten miles east
of Amiens, which lasted all day until at O'Clock
the French were driven out of the town At
Boyes, village four miles sonth of Amiells, the
French were also beaten, but at Dury they main
famed their position till nightfall
As we understand it, tile battles, first men
toned, around Orleans, are delivered by one
French Army, under de Paladnes, and those at
Amiens, by different command, entirely, that
known as the E Army of the North The line
from one city 10 another il too great to be main
tanned by single commander.
1t seems likely too, if we may speculate
further, that these are the preliminary conflicts
of grand and fearful onset by the whole of
the Prussan Army, exclusive Of that engaged
in the siege of Paris. For several days it has
been massing Inear the French lines, and the
purpose now is, no doubt, to make tremen-
dous and united effort to break up and destroy
the armies which the latter have collected on
the Loire, and at Amiens, and thus hang the
whole conclusion Of the war on the fall Of Paris.

1t is stated here, on what is claimed to be no
less authority than the Russian Minister himself.
that the Russian Government il deeply offended
at the declaration of the President. made few
days since, that he would not, nj this jnncture,
press the Alabama claims on tie ground that It
is an indirect and uncalled-for expression of
sympathy for England by relieving her of fears
that the United States would seize onthe oppor-
tunity of war with Russia to demand their
settlement.
II has been generally remarked that within the
past few weeks the Russian Minister has called
on neither the President nor the Secretary Of
State, and those who are in the secret assert
that lie is acting under instructions from his
Government which, before long, will officially
communicate ats grievances
