THE CASE OF CONSUL GENERAL. Bur-
LER-The New York Journal of Com
merce, in commenting on the "moral de-
hciencies and extortionate practices" of
many Of our foreign oonsuls, refers to
the very severe charges brought against
Consul-General Butler at Alexandria,
Egypt, and says that American residents
at or visiting that city have long COM
planned Of the bad conduct of that man,
and lamented the disgrace which he had
shed upon the American name. Gen.
Starring, who seems to be continually
rowing about Europe, keeping a sharp
eye on careless or unscrupulous consuIs,
has been investigating Buffers record,
and finds it very black. His report is
now in the hands of the Government.
Butler is not at his post, having fled
from it after his last escapade. 1t is
stated. however. that Richard Beardsley,
OF Philadelphia. has been appointed in
Buffers place by the President subject
to the action of the Senate.

1SD1ANA.-Gov. Randolph. of New
Jersey, who is now in Indiana, tele-
graphs to the New York World, from the
very capital of the influence of Morton
and Colfax. these insplriting words:
Nothing comparable to the ovation
which Mr.. Greeley is now receiving hero
has been seen in the great West since the
Hurrison whirlwind of 1910. Men who
were boys then are now as enthusiastic as
boys once were. The Presidential family
aud the Presidential managers are better
known in the West than in the East.
Ohio and Indiana nre ablaze as with n
prairis-fire. No money is needed to
bring out the supporters of Greeley.
They como by the Thousand. to give as
surance of the impending victory. We
turn Eastward today, and expect to
reach Cleveland on Tuesday night. I
repent, that the enemy are for the first
time terrified and demoralized. Push
them hard, and they are gone, horse,
foot and dragons. The retreats has be-
gun. We can make, and we must make,

HEAVY FAILURE IN ILLINOIS

Tho Grand Tower Mining and Manufacturing
Company in the Hands Of Trustees
Liabilities Three and a Half Millions
Assets seven MiIIions-COal Mines and Lion
Furnaces at a Discount.
CARBoNDALE, ILL.,, March 8, 1872
In 1858 party Of New YORK capitalists purchased
vaiuaole coal beds at Mount Carbon. six miles
west Of this place, and ut once proceeded to fully
develop their mines A railroad was built from
Carb0ndale, passing through the Mount Carbon coal
fields, to Grand Tower, on the Mississippi River,
distance Of twenty -four miles, for the purpose Of
getting tAeir coal to marKet. careful analysis
Of this coal showed 1t to be almost pure
carbon, free from slate, sulphur and other impuri.
ties and not liable to run together or cake In stoves
or furnaces, as do other Dltuminous Goals. This
favorable analysis led to the belief that the coal
could be used for iron and steel manufacturing pur.
poses without its first being cooked, as Is the case
win other Goals. series OF expensive experiments
established this important fact, and the company
then proceeded TO erect two large Iron furnaces at
r. was onns TO mage the cost Of ihe inr
naces was over $8o0,o00 or more than double the
original estimate. For short time the railroad,
mines and furnaces paid handsome dividends upon
their cost and expenses; but series Of accidents
including the blowing out OF one OF the furnaces
and the long Interruption to navigation on the
Mississippi caused by the low water last summer
and In last WINTER so seriously embarrassed the
company that all their obligations coud not be met
MIR. william w. rarkin, of New Y ORR, held chat
tel mortgage FOR $3.50 upon the personal property
OF the company which became due and was not
paid at maturity. After considerable negotiating
orders were given Mr.. Parkln's agent In this place.
A. q. Dryden, 10 foreclose and take possession OF
tho railroad rolling stock, tools ana machinery be-
longing TO the Grand Tower Mining, Manufacturing
and Transportation Company, under the provisions
Of the mortgage. This was done Oh Monday last,
wnen Mr. Dryden seized the locomotives passenger
aud coal cars, engines tools aud equipments of the
company. In the meantime the stockholders had
taken the matter In hand, and Messrs. Charles
N. Talbot and Josiah Y. Low, Of New YORK,
were appointed trustees Tor the bondh0ldcrs, and TO
them MIR. Parkn subsequently made over the prop
erty seized under the mortgage. The matter was 40
quietly effected That the outsiders knew nothing OF
the transaction, and the business OF the road aud
mines was suspended less than half day.
