The COAL MINERS TRouBLEs.-A Pottsvile
dispatch says the suspension of mining Of
Schuylkill county is assuming serious aspects.
Business is suffering severely, and there are
loud protests from all quarters against the
leaders of the Workingmen'ss Benevolent As
ISOLATION, who steadily refuse to give the teel-
ing of miners on the subject of resumption on
any consideration. The men have shown their
willingness to resume work, and in several
cases have gone into the mines but have come
out again, being threatened with violence if
they persisted in working There are rumors
that the furnaces along the line intend to blow
out rather than continue work under the pres
ent unsettled state of affairs. The Miners
Journal OF this morning says, "no basis has
been fixef for Schuylkill as yet" Coal opera
tors will not negotiate with the committee of
the Workingmen's Benevolent Association
until they. withdraw many of their claims with
regard to their action Ii the, refuse the oper-
ators will have nothing to do with the Associa-
ton, but will ask the men to go to work with
proffer OF ample protection if they have to in
woke the whole power of the Government.

The Thirteenth Amendment.

The resolve for an amendment to the cOnsti.
tulon of Maine SO as to authorize the legisla-
ture to call a Constitutional Convention, re-
ported by the Committee on Legal Reform last
week is as follows:
RESOLVED, Two-thirds of both houses concur
ring and deemng it Necessary, that the follow
ing be proposed as an amendment to the con-
stitut'on of this State, which when approved
and adopted in the manner provided by the
constitution. shall become part thereof, viz:
Section four of article ten shall be amended,
by adding thereto the following words: "And
The legislature by twO-thrds vote of both
branches, may call a convention to revise and
amend this constitution, and provide by law
for the election Of delegates to the same; but
such revision or amendment shall not take eff
feet until the same shall have been submitted to
the electors OF the State adopted by majority
OF those voting thereon.
The second, third and fourth resolves pro-
vide that the question shall be submitted to the
people at the annual election in September
next, the votes expressing their will by ballots
bearing the words Eyes" or "nO, and the ball
lots shall be counted, declared and returned in
the usual mancer; and that after the expira-
ton of twenty days after the election, the gov
ernor and counsel shall count the votes, and if
the majority of votes are in favor of such
amendment, it shall become part of the consti-
tuition, and the governor shall make proclama-
ton and the same shall be published in the
State paper and in all the daily newspapers in
the State.
JOHN CHINAMAN, who has made deal of
trouble for us all for the past year or two-dis-
turbing the labor question and cOmplicating
the theory Of universal suffrage-now turns up
as the veritable oldest iHhabtaDt," whose
title runs back beyond the days of Christopher
Columbus, the prince of squatters. We read
in Western newspaper that not long ago, as
Mr.. Belle and bis party were surveying for the
Government in the Territory of idaho, one
day he came across company of Indians with
whom he could not converse, though be and
his men could speak some twelve different da-
lects; but Chnaman in the company, hear
ing the Indians converse, could understand
and talk with them, and became their inter-
prefer. He said they were good Chinaman.
He also told of legends that he had learned at
home of the visits of his countrymen to this
country many years ago. This is annoying to
real estate owners, 1t would be curious if,
while we have laughed over the pleasant story
of Trdthful James, it should finally be discov-
cred that he was better read in ancient history
then we dreamed and that "the ways that are
dark" are only few of the ''tricAs that are
mean to deprive us of our patrimony just as
we have settled down TO enjoy it.
