NORTHUMBERLAND Co. Coal TRADE.

NORTHUMBERLAND Co. Coal TRADE.
The shipment of Coal from our region
for the past week has fallen off some on ac-
count of the scarcity of black cars and the
want of orders for the western market.
We learn that the Trevorton colliery
which recently started up on the basis Of
1862 stopped again on the first Of this
week. We have the following version of
the difficulty. Mr.. Rathburn reduced the
basis 25 per cent, stating that owing to the
low price OF coal and the distance from
market he was unable to pay any more.
The men refused to accede to this, but Of
fered to arbitrate the case, or submit to a
reduction of ten per cent. on the basis price,
both of which propositions were declined
by Mr.. Rathburn.
The joint committee of miners and oper.
ators will meet to-day to estimate the price
of coal for June. We doubt if this win ex
ceed the Schuylkill average.

WE notice that the Northumberland Co.
Dentocrdt has closed on all Independent
candidates, and refuses to publish the cards
of any unless they are nominees. The edi-
tor claims that his paperis the organ ofthe

lis anything unless that party gives con-
scut. This is rather rough on Democrats
WHO are swindled out of nominations, and
hen are denied the privilege of announcing
themselves as candidates through the very

tpug Democrats will learn by this that their
money spent for newspaper 10 support

benefit Of the members Of the party general

I'd and corruption. Those who are dis
listed with the fraudulent mode of nom
mating candidates, will now have to make
up their minds to swallow the dose without
murnurng before they are recognized by
tle,c former democratic friends, and before

THAT &94, 4,0O0.-It is very evident now
that the County Commissioners are deter
mined to make the best of it this year. Last
year they had over S05, 600 to work on, and
the present year it will probably go a thou
sand or two higher. The amount reported
by the County Auditors for 1870, was un-
collected taxes for 1865 and previous years,
S39,e53 90. The amount of tax levied for
1870 is $50, ,9l9 43, making altogether S95,.
J53 42. OF this amount they report S54,-
U04 SO expended and 4l,151 81 in the
hands of fayorite collectors. After having
this large amount on hand they tell us that
the county is indebted S27, ,575 76, on which
Interest is paid, while the outstanding taxes
show no interest. For 1871 we learn that
Il tax of Z mills has been levied, and as the
valuation on property is much higher than
previous years, it will run the taxes up to
about $4,000 90, which with the S4l, ,402,
Il outstanding will make the snug sum O
over $4,000. Will the tax payers continue
to uphold the Ring and pay for the whistle
at these rates ?

THE meeting ofthe State central commit
tee at Altoona on Wednesday of last week,
was largely attended, some sixty members
being present. The accounts of the political
situation in all quarters of the State was
most encouraging. The election of Stanton
and Beath, is beyond question. Only q
thorough organization is needed, and this
under the management of its able and eX-
pcrienccd chairman of the committee we
are certain to have. The committee compile
ted its organization by the election Of Messrs
Houston and Lukcns of Philadelphia, and
Lytle of Huntington as Secretaries, and
Gen. II. II. Bingham as Treasurer. Mr..

in Philadelphia, and vigorous campaign
will be at once inaugurated.

THE Columbus (Ga.) Sun likens the
"New DEPARTURE to the ''Barn-burner',
movement of 1S4S. 1t will be remembered
that on the nomination of Lewis Cass in
that year, a portion of the Northern Demo
cracy seeded from the oganization and
set up separate ticket with Mr.. Van
Burean at its head. Their avowed object
was to reform the Democratic party and
purge it Of its bad material. Some wag
likenod their course to that ofthe farmer
who set fire to his barn to kill off the rats,
and the title-"Barn burners''- '-stuck ever
after to them. The S,ea says that the ''idea
OF adopting Radical platform to elect n
Democratic President is as sensible as
burning down house to clean it of ileas. ,,

WHAT MEEK SAYS.

Meek, of the Bellefonte Wdtchmdn, is
not what his name would imply. He is a
man of different sort-bold, aggressive
and defiant. He won't swallow the ninth
resolution of the Democratic platform; and
on that subject he takes issue with the Pa
triot, for whoes special benefit we copy
from the Watcl,man the following.
Our friends of the Harrisburg Patriot,
who are generally right, still keep telling
Democratic party from the adoption of
that meaningless ninth resolution in the
Democratic platform. We have heretofore
given the editors of the Patriot credit for
"knowing thing or two, but, since their
continuous assertions about the great benc-
fits that are to be derived from the passage
of that resolution, we have come to the
conclusion that they know as little about
the real feelings of the Democratic masses
as it is possible for men in their situation
to know. If they will submit their ninth
resolution to decision of the DEMOCRATIC
voters of the State, out of the three hundred
| thousand, not five thousand can be got to
vote for it; and the sooner they open their
eyes to the fact that their efforts to crowd
it down our throats as good thing" an
excellent move,' is only creating more
dissatisfaction and disgust, the better II
will be for the cause for which we all labor
The Patriot had better place this matter
among its ''dead issues.
The same Meek in the same number o
the Wdtchman repudiates the idea Of the
Democratic party favoring negro outrage
He says:
We assert, and defy contradiction, tina
there are not one hundred Democrats il
the three hundred thousand within TIN
borders ofthe Commonwealth in favor o
comforting the elective franchise upon tn
negro.
: And he closes the article with this EN-
phatic language:
The Democratic party, then, does nc
desire the negro vote.
1t desires and will accept no political al
from the negro.
1t saws to him--"Hands offl''
, The Democratic party ever has been an
by the grace of God will continue to be
1.-The white mans party"
The same Meek, in an article on th
subject of JefDavis and his recent speeches
speaks out boldly and to the point like
brave and true Democrat. He says:
jeff. Davis would be craven hearte
coward to wrap himself up in any eXcu:
D that would prevent him from appearir
| before the people when they want to ST
!, and hear him. The truth in regard to ii
real condition Of the country now, is MOI
4 likely to fall from his lips than from tho'
