UNJUST DETERMINATIONS Conn
plants come to us from the colorcd people,
whose children are in attendance upon the
Colored Normal school, that Superintendent
Binford, and perhaps other officers Of this
school, have issued orders prohibiting the
colored scholars from coming to or going
from the school-house by certain streets,
and designating the routes they shall take.
The result of such an order is to compel
numbers of them to go some distance out
of their way to reach the school-house and
their homes.
We hope there is some mistake about
this matter, but if it be true, We enter our
earnest and solemn protest against any
such action ; and derry TO any man or set of
men the right TO say What streets shall or
shall not he used by colorcd people. The
Mayor Of this city would no more dare is
sue such an order THAN he would dare put
his arm IN the fire.
II is high tiue ioi such nonsense and CON
tenipti'le discrimination to cease, and we
now notify the officers Of the public schools
if they threaten colored children with cx-
pulsion, because they will not coniine
themselves 10 certain streets, upon which
to walk, they will bring upon themselves
the scoln and contempt Of all lovers of jus
ticc.

THE ANTHRACITE COAL TRADE
The Philadelphia Ledger of Monday, in its
weekly review of the anthracite coal trade,
has the following:
1.-THE public sale of anthracite coal at
New York last week has had the effect of
stiffening prices of coal generally, and in
some instances advances have been estab-
lished even greater than those shown at the
auction sale. This increase in the price Of
coal is, no doubt, in consequence OF the
shortened supply, as compared with last
year. This, however, should create no
alarm. Much, if not all, of the difference
short it is expected, will be made up before
the close of navigation and if it should not
be by that time, it can easily be supplied
by rail all through the winter, as the mar
ket may require. There is reason to antici-
pate good, strong market for coal to the
end of. the year at current prices, which
slightly advance to-day, say 25 cents per
ton over last weeks quotations but there
is no reason to anticipate any very material
further advance, unless there is some diff
Guilty at the mines, or some unwarranted
combination to force the market to unnatur-
al figures. These contingencies, of course,
are assumed by all who postpone the pur-
chase of coal. The Reading railroad
company has issued circular, taking effect
to-day, advancing tolls Is cents per ton by
rail and 20 cents by canal, which, ,of course,
will enter into the price of coal for con-

The HAM QUEsTION.--From two COM
mtnications i'll the October number Of the
'Soufl,ern Planter, we infer that the display
Of Virginia boiled bacon hams at the next
State Fair will be the best ever seen. DIR.
John X. Woods, of Albemarlc, is confident
of securing the first premium. He says:
''lt seems to me the idea would be good
one for each competitor to enter two hams,
one to be tested by committee of gentle
men, the other by a committee Of ladies',
whose taste is often more refined and dis
eliminating than that Of the stelmer Sex.
All of the hams should be turned over To
the society, to be used by the officers and
friends on the ocoasion.O

WHIPPING-PosT LOCALITY MATTERS.
George Morris, a young sprig Of Democ-
racy, and a resident OF Manchester, was
yesterday tried and convicted by Justice
Martin, for stealing suit Of clothes.
The justice sent him to jail for thirty
days.
AS Manchester seems to be the most ap-
propriate place for executing the whipping
post law, and as we doubt not, its admirer,
Judge Cox, has provided a convenient and
substantial one for the purpose of stripping
the backs of Republicans, we think Justice
Martin would have been guilty of no great
wrong had he administered slight dose OF
this Democratic physic to its own progeny.
How would it do. justice, to try it on orc
Of these days and see the effects OF chickens
coming home to roost?

Buffers Defeat.

IFro1n The New York Commercial Advertiser,
ss * September ISL
Butler, rejected by tho Massachusetts,
convention, has, by his conduct after the
ballot, done much to allay the feeling
which his conduct of the canvass had ex-
cited. The course of the General for the
few weeks has been, ON the whole, aston
ishing. He has done great violence to Mas
sachusetts precedent and prejudice, and has
introduced into her politics measures de-
cidedly novel, and calculated TO dscompose
those not accustomed to such hilarious
scenes. There is, among the "orthodox"
of the Bay State, the memory of a re-
iigious controversy, now many years gone
by, but which turned upon what was called
the "new measures of certain reviyalist
preachers. The church was moved to its
foundations, and many staid believer was
driven almost to despair by methods of
grace altogether foreign to his own expe-
rience. The "new measures" however,
succeeded in the end, and the church found
their advantage in accepting them.
Butler is the apostle of the new evangel
10 his party in Massachusetts, and though
he may be derided at first, and mourned
over and prayed at, he has impaired some
what of his own enthusiasm even to his
opponents. He bore his defeat
nobly, and yielded gracefully to the
voice of the conventions. The temp
tation to bolt was strong, but the Essex
statesman has sagacity and sense, and too
much consideration for his future to do SO
foolish thing. He even went so far as to
commend the convention for its fairness and
its want of mistakes, and then, after COM
lplimenting his adherents who had stood so
'solidly by him, he promised that inside the
Republican party ''the fight shall go on for
hts rejuvenation, for its publication, for the
advancement of labor, for the suppression
of vice, and for its great mission; that in
that organization we go and labor still for
the great principles for which we started
out, and as sure as there is truth and JUS
tice in the people of the Commonwealth,
just SO sure, sooner or later, we shall attain
it,

L. L. LEWIS, Eso.-The gentleman
whose name heads this article, is one of
the rising young Republicans of the Old
Dominion. lie has had the manlincss TO
ignore every personal consideration for the
benefits which must accrue to our common
country, by linking his destiny with the
nation and the party which sustains It.
He is in the city, and we are glad to see
has almost entirely recovered from the
effects of the brutal, cowardIy and malicious
assault made upon him, doubtless, because
OF his political sentiments, by man.urged
to the attempted assassination by others,
too cowardly to act as principals.
Mr.. Lewis is resident Of Culpeper, and
Commonwealth's Attorney of that county.
From proceedings Of an enthusiastic Re-
publican meeting held in Culpcpcr several
days ago, we find the Republicans Of his
county, have selected him as their standard.
bearer in the coming struggle. The Cul-
pepper Observer is welcome to all the Repub-
lican votes it can secure for Mr.. Strother
in opposition to Mr.. Lewis. We believe
he has the ability, and has shown the dis
position, to battle with the enemy Of free
government, and his nomination gives
promise Of a glorious triumph for our
party in Culpeper this fall.

lrccp. the miracle Of clnnslesS called the

sataSyracuse, enjoy their ilecting triumph !;
we have floblei work in hand. Ours is the

oyercity robbery and State misgoyernment
they have done their best to throw away.
1t is not the first time it has fallen to US
to rally the noble people of New York un-
der the encouragement which the Success
ful intrigGes of false oflice-holdcrs created,
while the victors in caucus and convention,
hating us far worse than the common enc
my, spent their time in dividing our raiment
among them. Let them revel in the spoils
and parcel out the offices as for us and for
all whom we can influence, we shall carry
the banner of victory in the front, elect the
ticket so many good and true men shared in
selecting, and settle with the stragglcrs and
marauders on the field when we have won
it. 10 this good work the Tribune calls
every delegate who resented the insult of
the office-holders' scant and blinded major
ity by retiring from a convention that
branded Moses Ii. Grinnell and Marshall o.
Roberts as Tammany thieves.
