To the Editor OF The Trfbune.
SIR: Do you think your daily wailngs over the absurd
ways Of the COAL in Pennsylvania will effect any
thing beyond making the odin against Protection grow
even with people fayorng Protection till now And do you
think there is in Gods wide world any other remedy for
bringing these Coal people their senses but an outright
repeal OF all tax on coal
Yec- York, Feb. 49, 1871.
A nsuer.-There is no tax on the importation
of lee; it costs nothing to grow 1T and less
than Coal to mine or quarry it; yet Ice sold
last Summer at fully double the highest price
vet paid for Coal. If there had been duty
of 81 per tun on imported Ice, there are dema-
gogues rascaly enough to assert that the duty
was the cause of the exorbtant price, and
geese green enough to swallow the assertion.
Were BtuminOus Coal made entirely free OF
dnty, as Anthracite r0s made last Session, the
price of the former in Maine and possibly in
some seaports 80 far east as Boston, might be
slightly reduced at intervals but Anthracite
which is already free, would not be affected

The Republicans have now presented
new and strong candidate for Governor In
JAMES PIKE, who represented the Ist district
in Congress from 1854 to 1859 with emincmf
fidelity and assiduity. He rarely or never
addressed the House, but was always at his
post never wanted to dodge, and in the long
struggle which resulted in the choice Of Mr.
Banks as Speaker was one of the sixty tout of
hundred, more or less who didn't want a
new candidate each week, were not intriguing
for personal advancement, and never thought
of DESERVING or betraying the Good Cause.

THE SANTO DOMINGO CONMIooION'
The public alarm in regard TO the fate OF
the Tennessee, for which there was never any
Justification, was yesterday relieved by the
news of her safe arrival OH the oath OF last

Gore, few mprincipled newspapers, in the
pursuit Of vicious sensation, were fnling the
public mind with doubt and dismay by highly
wrought ictions in regard TO the dangers OF

Gel, the gentlemen Of the Commission had'been
for fortnight enjoying the bright sun and
balmy airs of the tropics, never dreaming Of
the panic which had been proDagated in their
homes in respect to their safety. Their voyage
was pleasant and prosperous one, the weather
being just lively enough to relieve the over
crowded mess-tables at meal times.

Washington City, enthusiastic over the pos
session of a brand new wooden pavement of
the latest improved pattern, yesterday gave
itself up to the wild and intoxicating delights
of Grand Carnival, which during the day
partook largely of the nature of militia mus
ter, and at night assumed very much the com
plexion of q Chinese festival. Let us hope this
custom is to be confined in the future to the
Capital. Wooden pavements are not so abso-
lutely marvellous that we should accept them
with the Carnival nuisance attached.

Mr. John Hecker has produced colossallbust of
Washington which no introduces to tho public with
tho singular statement that while he has modelled
the features from the famous Houdon Cast, which,
by the way, he says erroneousy was taken after
death, the head has been nodded by an OK
perienced sculptor, under Mr.. Hecker's direc-
ton, on strict principles of induction ain
accordance with scientific and chronological
views" Mr.. Hecker found this severe regimen
necessary IA he informs us that artists are in the
habit OF modelling their own heads unawares when
they make a statue. The reader will recall that sin
gular passage in Layengro where Mr. Borrow accuses
Richard Hayden of shortening the legs of Moses and
Napoleon in unconscious compliment To his own brief
extremities. aud Mr.. Hcokcr claims to have caught

A NEW KIND OF WALL

Over framework of strong cross wires,
of about one-eighth of an inch thick
there is woven by a powerful pressure
fbrous matter which Is saturated with a
solution that renders It fre-proof. 1t is
then subjected to a very powerful pres.
sure. A coating Of light Scott's cement
is then put upon it for inside facing,
and Portland cement for outside facing.
BY this means surfaces are made imper.
meable to moisture, smooth, and easily
washed with water, thus saving the ex-
pense Of repeated lime washing. 1t is
formed into slabs in iron frames, which
are put together and closely and securely
fastened with bolts. The slabs are from
one and half to four inches thick. They
are found to serve as superb paneling for
dividing walls and partitions. Where
the space is Of importance, it has the ad-
vantage, perhaps, over concrete walling,
in enabling II wall to be made of not more
than one and half or two inches of
thickness, and yet its quality is said TO

senate Of the United States, as de.
cent thing to do, to restore Mr.. Sum,
ner TO the craftsmanship of the com

ton to the senate is not couched in very
gentle terms, as though having seen
the futility of efforts to coax, it had
made up its mind to drive that body.
But the Tribune and all the other So
called conservative papers may as well
give in to the administration now-they
will do SO eventually. They may call
Simon Cameron thief and assert that
the high dignitaries Of the radio Al party,
removing Sumner, put in his place a
man "who, nine years ago, out of def.
'erence to popular indignation was kick
ed out Of Lincolns cabinet" and that
this change was effected "through q
System Of fraud and bribery no less ne
farious than that of Tammany," and
they may imply that president Grant
was party to the disgraceful out

newspapers who essay to offer we'll

not favor the restoration Of Sumner
