Caroliaan," published at Elizabeth City,

Zone ofthe reasons why we lcll the North
was To lind n more gunlal climate. There
the winters were too cold aud the Sumrlers,
though shorter, quite as hot. We doubt
whether plcasantcr climate can bo found
than we have here in Eastern North
Carolina. The winters are mild aud in
the summer the Thermometer rarely ever
reaches the extreme point il 50 often docs

Again he says;
NO country is better adapted for the
raising Of stock than this part OF this South.

TIE COAL DIFFICULTIES Miner

TIE COAL DIFFICULTIEs.-Tke Miners
JOnrndl of last week says:
All the difficulties in Scuylkill and Col
umbia Counties are now settled, except
probably at one or two col,ierfes, where
some local difficulties may not be settled,
50 that all the collicrics will resume by
Monday. Many have already resumed,
and making preparations to ship coal on
Monday on the reduced rate of tolls, WHICH
which will DC promulgated either to-day or
Monday. The tolls for this Region will be
promulgated as soon as the men declare
their intention to 90 TO work in good faith,
independent of the difficulties that may
exist in any other Region, according to tho
several arrangements thateXist between the
different committees.
In the Wyoming Region, all the coittries
except those contralled by the companies
have resumed, or are preparing to resume
as rapidly as possible.
In Northumberland County the collicrics
have nearly all resumed already Qp their
basis, which so far has not been changed.
On this basis al can work SO soon as the
tolls arc reduced on The Reading Road and
Schuylkill conaL
From the LehSh Region VIC have no
definite information, but presume that the
men will not hold out long after all the
other individual Operators resume in the
different Regions; nor do we believe the
men will hold out for many days against the
companies offer, after the others 20 to
work. Until all the men are employed in
Schuylkill County, there will be but little
disposition to employ men from other Re
gions by the Operators in Schuylkill Coun-
ty, unless they should be short of hands,
which is not likely to be the case to any
great extent.
We mention this for the information of
men tlocling to Schuylkilr County from
other regions We were informed yester-
day, that since the difficulties were settled
about II O'Clock on Thursday, there were.
applications made, in less than ten hours,
by upwards of 500 men for work at the st.
Clair shaft. Among the number were up
wards of thirty from Lu2erne county. Or
ders, we learn, were given to employ none
from abroad so long as men can be obtain
ed residing in Schuylkll County. The col
liery employs about 400 hands.

GERMAN PEACE CELEBRATION.-The
German citizens of Philadelphia, on Mon
day, celebrated the restoration of Peace TO
the ''Fatherland" by grand parade. 1t
is said that more beautiful and imposing
spectacle has never been presented on this
continent. The utmost good order and
sobriety was observed throughout the day.
We regret that space does not permit a de-
tailed report of the wonderful pagent. The
success of German arms, and the establish
ment of German unity has awakend in the
warm German heart, and in the hearts of
many thousands of Americans who SYM
pathizc with them, feeling and sentiment
of religious thoughtfulness to the divine
dispenser of victories. In the City of Phila-
dclphia, citizens of German extraction
manifested this devout and thankful
feeling, first on Saturday and Sunday, by
religious services in their several places of
worship, according to the peculiar cere-
monies of their different faiths. On Mon
day, by magnificent parade and closed
their festival by social exercises at the
Schutzen Park on Tuesday. No disorder
was manifested throughout the protracted
demonstration. The German is thoughtful
and sensible. lie is.a good citizen, and
fully identified with his adopted country,
while he continues to love the home of his
fathers. He is mindful Of the object of his
Peace festival, as well while displaying n
peculiar trait of German character in So
cial and sensual enjoyments, as in his re-
ligious exercises, or his military Process
sions. In every place he is subordinate and
obedient to the laws, and practices good
order.

The Hon. p. G. Shannon offered to amend
the ninth resolution by adding the follow
ing: "and point to him as the honored
leader of oE party now, and the proper
standard bearer of the republican party in
1872.
The amendment and resolution were
then adopted.
Mr.. Errctt then offered the following
resolution, viz.
That the republican state central CON-
mittce for the ensuing year shall be consti-
tuted of the same number, and appointed
in the came way as the present state CEN
trail committee. The officers to consist of a
chairman, three secretaries and treasua-
er, to be appointed by the committee.
Mr.. Mann, of Potter, moved to AIMED by
making the chairman of the committee be
1IoG. Butler b. Strang, of Tioga.
Mr.. Quay moved to amend the amend
Inent to the resolution 70 read that the per-
manent president Of the convention and
the two candidates this day nominated
shall appoint the chairman of the state
central committee.
After considerable debate the amend.
ment of Mr.. Quay was agreed to, and tho
resolution as amended was adopted.
MIR. Shannon offered the following, which
was unanimously adopted:
ReSolred, That the thanks of the people
of Pennsylvania are due to General Har

faithful and efficient manner in which they
have discharged the duties of the offices O

THE Senate bill authorizing tie election
of women to the office of School Director in
this State was finally deIeatedin the House.
Mr.. Mann, of Tioga, made an earnest APP
peal in favor Of its passage, but motion
by Mr.. lIager to postpone it indefinitely
was carried by ten majority. This action
is not at all creditable to the members ol
the House, who thus avoided direct cx-
preston on the subject. Common sense
proves that if women are competent to
teach public schools they are equally fit to
serve as directors. In fact, there is little
doubt that if women were substituted for
half the men who now fill the school boards
the result would be of marked advantage
to the interests of education.

COUNTY FINANCES. Our neighbor of
the Gazette, in his last issue, in reply to the
correspondent Of the Democrat in regard to
the county finances says: "Wc arc charged
with having practiced deception represent
ing that the county expenses last year were
s54, ,O04 So; and we will admit that rather
hasty examination of the Auditors Report
led us inadvertently to that conclusion. A
CAREFUL examination of the figures makes it
evident that the actual expenses of the
county last year were S29,303 &C, nearly
ten thousand less than they were the year
previous" Our neighbor it appears has
taken and adopted the figures of the cor
respondent of the Democrat who lately
cooked up defense for the county Com
missioners, after four weeks study from
the time the Auditors Report appeared.
AS it is well known who the correspondent
is, and that he is the servant of the Ring,
TO do whatever work they require, aha
always looking for n small Office to avoid
labor, and who is well known as rebel
sympathizer, it is strange that our neigh
Dor should take this correspondent state
ment as correct, without first publishing
the Auditors Report to let his readers sec
what that report contains. If you were
ever "haSty'' neighbor, we think it is now,
for it is certainly not the most desirable
company you are getting into, though per-
haps not Intentionally. If the actual ex-
ha
Auditors have reported ,S54,0O4 SIS is q
matter which should be fully explained by
the correspondent of the Democrat. But if
he meant to say that $40, ,303 66 ought to
have been the dct,tal amount of expenses,
we shall certainly agree with him. We pre-
fer to see the Auditors Report circulated
to let the taX-payes examine it instead of
publishing garbled statements of it. Our
neiehbor should let his readers sec il, even
if he is not paid for it. 1t is matter
which interests every taxpayer. We are
satisfied that the Ring would much rather
have suppressed its publication if it could
have been done. When it appeared in the
Democrat it was placed in an obscure part
of that paper without comments or line
to draw attention to it. That fact alone
should have put our neighbor on his guard
to not be imposed upon by figures invented
to suit the purpose Of defense by any Of the
runners Of the Ring. We agree with our
neighbor, that the Republican party is en-
titled to the credit of causing reductions
in the county expenses, and ofthe outstand-
ing taxes being rapidly called in. The
people Of this county having been burdened
with heavy taxes for some years past, do
not feel like supporting men for offices only
because they have the same political
faith The Ring know this fact, and they
know they are doomed to surrender the
offices they so cozily occupied for years, and
hence their great efforts to try and rectify
matters to hang on Il while longer. The
people want change and we are satisfied
that there will be such an uphcaving and
thinning out of the Ring that will not only
astonish them, but also their hangers on
for the small crumbs which fall from their
tables.

TIE WAR IN FRANCE.-The rebellion
in Paris progresses Indications being
that the communists must soon surrender
to the Versailles Government. In the
meantime, their course has been marked
with every cnormity and crime, churches
have been closed, and pilaged. Priests
and Bishops imprisoned AMI murdered
Religious schools closed and christian en-
blems destroyed. The proudest monuments
of Paris, which boasted to De the fairest
and noblest Of the cities of the earth, laid
in ruins, even the superb column of the
Vindome had to fall, and be smashed to a
thousand fragments by infuriated French
men. What the conquering but thought
tul, christian, appreciative Germans
spared for France and the world, ignorant
and crazy Frcnchmen have destroyed.
