In its weekly report of the Pennsylvania An
thracite Coal trade, the Philadelphia Ledger
says: ''The only feature in the anthracite coal
trade since our last weekly report is the Joint
action Of the Anthracite Board Of Trade and
the Workingmen Benevolent Association, on
the 18th inst: in fixing the average price OF
coal at Port Carbon for the current month, at
81, So per ton, being reduction Of ! per ct. on
the basis, and making wages per ct lower
than in August zthat is, tho laborer who re-
ceived last month SO per week will under the
reduction ANNOUNCED receive but $3.50 and at
the same rate throughout the list OF workmen.
Whether this cutting down Of pay to the work
men on quckencl coal market, will meet with
favor, or even assent, at the mines is yet to be
decided. The advance in prices noted last week
is firmly maintained, and on some classes OF
coal further advance is demanded.

ment only shows how weak is that side OF the
case There can be no question that there was
a remissness in the Treasury Department in
this matter. and there is every reason TO be-
levc that if little vigilance had been exercised,
the dcfalcaton might have been found out

STATE RIGHTS FEELING.-Mr. Grocsbeck, OF
Ohio, who was counsel for Mr.. johnson when
he was impeached, made speech at Stcuben-
VILE Ohio, on Wednesday last, which is high
" commended. We make the following ex-
tract, displaying State Rights feeling which
We ardently desire to see cherished and eX-
tended throughout the country
LET US ever cherish the State. 1t IS our
home government, at our very door. 1t edu-
Gated us in our childhood, and has watched
over us during all our lives. 1t guards us by

laws and execute them. We are the best
Judges of what concerns ourselves, and through
it we manage all that concerns ourselves. 1t

bold, and independent citizens. We strength
On under these constant and daily exercises,
aud learn more and more to appreciate the
privileges of freemcn and the blessings of self
government.
Take home sovereignty out of the State, and
its vitality is gone. Centralize thissovercignty
at Washington, and We are transferred to
distant, outside authority. No longer govern
inc ourselves, we must be governed. l'epen-
dent upon Washington, we soon lose our self
dependence, and relieved of responsibility. We
sink into Incidence and Indifference. The
earnest, manly citizen who once participated in
public affairs, and found his chief interest in
them, degenerates into mere subject whose
whole duty is to obey law, and whose only de-
sire to be amused in his ideness. This is logic;
this is history

in 1899, for which they mortgagcd the whole
concern, road, rolling stock, franchises and all.
Failing to pay the interest which fell due, in
November, 1870, the mortgage has been fore
closed, and the road, &c, advertised to be
sold in the city of New York, on the 2Sth Of
December, proXimo.'
The Fredericksburg Herald says 1.-The
