The English Coal Famine.

A writer in the London Financier,
who has been making tour Of the
large coal producing counties Of Eng
land, gives a gloomy account of the
business prospect. The collieries, he
said, were full Of orders and contracts,
many old ones, and at low prices, while
the men were everywhere more inclined
for recreation than for work. In fact,
they seem to manage matters so well
that where they know their masters
have pressing contracts, they take care
that they are kept in arrears. Under
such circumstances there is not a col
lIery proprietor who will enter into any
new contracts, even at the present en-
HANGED pnces, and it is the opinion Of
the correspondent that the time is rap
idly approaching when a great many
industrial establishments will be
stopped for want OF coal. In many in
stances il has ceased to be question
of price. In some localities coal is not
to be had in quantities at any figure,
and often, when a manufacturer wants
one OF two hundred TONS week from a
coliiery, it is only as great favor, and
because he has been a good customer
for many years, that twenty or fifty
tons a week are given him. As to TAX
ing any new customers, even if they
come with cash in hand, no coal pro
prietor thinks of looking at them This
il about the real state cf things in all
the coal districts of England, and it is
reported also of Scotland.

New ORLEANS, March 5.-The executive and

dered Van Norter to be re-arrested this morn
ing and brought before him. About II o'clock
the sheriff brought Van Norter in, when the
Judge delivered a lengthy discourse upon the
action of the Governor yesterday in pardoning
the prisoner and attempting to defeat the ends
of justice, in which he said that if the Governor
was permitted to exercise such functions, we
might as we'll abolish the courts entirely for
there could be executed no order against par
ty fortunate enough to have the Governor to
back him. The Governor, more than any else,
ought to respect and uphold the DEGREES of the
courts, for he is for them an executive arm The
Judge then ordered Van Norter committed to
prison and announced that he would hold the
sheriff responsible for the execution of the or

MISSOURI,
EXTENSIVE DEALINGS IN FRAuDIrIENT BONDS

EAlENoifE IN FRAUDULENT bONOo.
ST. LOUIS, March 1.-Two men were arrested
yesterday in banking house charge with en-
deavoring to negotiate fraudulent bonds of Cass
county, of this State. 1t is said that over
5000, 200 of these bonds were fraudulently certi-
fled to by prominent men of Cass county last
week, including Judges Stevenson and Forsyth
and ring formed to sell them. They were
partially successful in placing few thousand
with New York parties.
In connection with the alleged fraudulent
issue of Cass county bonds, it is known that
Judge Stevenson has gone to Sedalia, whence,
it is believed, he went west on the Missouri,
Texas & Kansas Railroad. Cline was at Wy
andotte last night but eluded the officers, and
has probably gone west. j. d. Hine, another
of the ring, and Cline's law partner, also fled
and it is supposed they have gone to California.
H. b. Higgins was arrested last night and this
morning shot himself through the heart with a
Derringer pistol and died instantly. Judge
Forsyth did not flee, as has been stated, and &C
cording to kilograms has pledged himself to re-
main at home, convene the Court and with
Judge Copeland review the act by which the
bonds were approved All these parties are
men of standing and have families. Hine and
Cline were prominent lawyers in Huntsville,
and Higgins is merchant, who heretofore has
borne good reputation,
