Twenty Democratic Senators Refuse
Protection to our Mines.

The joint resolution, offered by Senator
Greene, instructing our senators and re-
questing our representatives in Congress
to vote against the repeal of duty on coal,
YVES laid on the table, In the Senats, this
morning, by vote OF 20 yeas to 10 nays
all the Republican senators voting against
it. 1t was discussed in part by Messrs.
Greene, Austin, and Smith, of Henrico, in
favor, and Mr.. Snowden against it.
This vote shows the cloven foot Of that
mongrel party, styling itself Conservative,
which they have been trying to corceal.--
Our coal is the one great interest which
needs protection. Boston and New York
capitalists, having invest / their money In
Nova Scotia coal, petition Congress to re-
peal the duty on it. Under the specious
pretense of fres trade, this one pet lamb
OF Virginia industry is to be sacrificed,
and when protest is asked on behalf of
our Legislature - protect the lights of our
miners and the vast interests involved, the
whole subject is contemptuously laid on
the table. Let every man who owns foot
of coal land, and every friend of home In
dustry, look to this matter.

NEW HOOKS.

From Johuston & Selden we have to-
day "Harper's Monthly" splendidly illus
trated, and filed with interesting and
useful matter. The article, "Along the
Florida Reefs" is of equal interest to the
naturalist and the general reader, and is
worth the price of the number Th'e his
torical record of the editor is OF great
value to file away.
A new story, "Daisy Nichol," by Lady
Hardy, also comes from Johnston & Sell
den, and is one of Harper's best. 1t is not
too long to read of an evening, and is a
good investment for a little money.

Not Worth the Paper Upon Which 1t
is Written.

Some documents were read this morn-
ing by Mr.. Wood, of Halifax, purporting
to have been sigued by several citizens OF
Petersburg in support of the proposition
submitted by the ''Little Railroad King" /"
Mr.. Thomas, of Henry, arose and stated
that the guarantee offered, being In refer
ence to no existing contract or under
taking, but in relation to proposition not
yet accepted, and the same not having
been made to the Board OF Public Works
or any authority representing the State,
the guarantee was of no value whatever,
not binding in law, and was not worth the
paper upon which 1t is written.

Genera, Andreac JackSon's Bnthday.-
To-day is the 104th anniversary of the birth of
Jackson, he having been born in 1857. There
is some uncertainty about the place that had
the honor of giving birth to "Old Hickory"
A number of his biographers put him down as
as native of North Carolina. We believe,
however, that it has been pretty well ascer-
Ntained that he was born at Blacks and Whites,
in Nottoway county, Virginia, while his pa
rents, who were Irish settlers in North Caro-
lima, we're migrating to Tennessee. The Gems
eral afterwards called Tennessee his home

Dear Sir-Your favor of the goth received We
much regret that any m,sapprehension should have
occurred we intended TO do nothing unauthorized
obje ;tionabe. la soliciting treights for
lno here - Norfolk, destined to points the
v. ard T. A. Line, We were compelled to sign bills
of ading, not intending to act, nor supposng that
itcould be construed in acting agents OF your Line.
AS understood, your line extended from Norfolk
Zone Of connecting points, to the West and ono Of
its prime objects to induce freights II ON New
York by the way of Norfolk, in competition with
other lines from tae seaboard; rld, as far es we
could ascertain, there hal been no arrangement made
by you which excluded freighis offered by us from
the same rates accorded to others Hence our letter
of the 10th yf letter OF the II led to the
clnsion that we were assuming to act a5 agents OF
your line that had Construed your words,
that "freght will be taken us at your depot.
the ctv of Norfolk upon precisely the same terms
like freights are taken from other customers as
cousdtu ting into associates, Except in the Incl
dental and unavoidable way stated above) we were
unfortunate in our expression. You are of course
aware that to accept solicit freghts to any point
on your line must be able to give rates from New
York to the point of Destination, and as we had only
your published tariff before, felt Compelled If not
authorized to give those rates, (being satisfied to
take for our share the proportion you had fixed from
New York to Noriolk) at least till could get
tariff of rates from Norfolk West. If in this we
have erred we especially regret it, as We have en-
gagged n number OF tons Of freight for points in Ten
ressee some of which went forward last week, and
another portion is our pier waiting shipment
which, we hope, Kinder the circumstances, will not
be declined.
Will YOU be good enough to have furnished a
schedule of rates from Norfolk to the different points
the v. and t. A. Lane aud If it more In accord
ance wit your views authorize your agent here to
sigu bills Of ading by our line. 1t will be equally
satisfactorily to u. all desire or ask are the
same terms and equal rates With Others
