ity like war, will always run its course. #
our cQunsels had been taken, all tie con

the Cotton Tax.

Mr.. Mcintyre of Georgia, has introduced into
the House Of Representatives, bill to refund
the cotton tax, which, II passed, he says will ds-
comfit the speculators who have bought up the
cotton claims in such quantities. His proposition
% that the United States shall issue thirty.year
i've per cent. gold bonds, to be delivered 10 the
Governor or the authorized agents of the States
and Territories in amounts equaling the amounts
received from said States from the tax on cotton.
The States are to return the amount so received
by them TO the parties who actually paid the tax,
and where this Is imprcticablc, the money shall
be disposed of in such manner rs the several Leg
islaturcs may by law direct The actual amount
tax was SIS @ or, 5ss 70, of which Maryland paid 5

The CABAN Cause.-The special CORES pondent
OF the New York Herald, who has returned from
his mission into the Cuban insurgent country,
gives long account OF his journey, interviews
with Cuban leaders, and description OF Cuban peo-
pie and scenery. General Cespsdes. president of
the Cuban Republic, explained to HIM that their
mode Of warfare was to fire, kill and retreat, and
that with 5000 Americans their independence
could be accomplished. He also stated that there
were $4,000 men in the Held, and If they had
arms "a, 900 more could be obtained. From the
correspondents observation of the patriotism
OF the Cubans. the struggle will be indefinitely
pYotyacted.

Coal Consumption:

Tho increase in the consumption OF coal ha'
been 90 enormous that its probable future increase
can scarcely be calculated with certainty 1t II
likely to keep all the lines very busy to provide
for its transhipment for the next ten years. Will
mineton, it is expected, will before that time be
called In to do large business in shipping coal
to other parts.
The consumption in 1869, was l3,0OO.O0O tons.
while in 1870 and 1871 each consumed Ii, 500, 900.
The present year has required 100000. ike
increase for next year will render it necessary to
mine % 600 900 tons, and to do this the Increase
per week must reach $4,000. Two weeks OF the
nscsl year OF several OF the carrying companies
have passed away, show a deficit Of $4,000 instead
Of an increase Of 100000 Since the month OF
Augl O. last there has been a weekly decrease OF
shipments compared with corresponding weeks OF
1871. Every passing week that does not produce
$4,000 tons more than the corresponding week OF
last year renders it moro and more difficult to fur
nish the amount required for lS73 and the exhibit
Of decrease instead of gain as the new year pro-
gresses adds to the importance OF the whole sub.
Ject.
The new outlets for coal are not rs numerous
as the service requires. The failure of the Read
ing company to make an arrangement with tina
r: W. 4 r. X r., Co.. to use the old road to
Chester for the tanshipmcnt of coal; the build
ing of the road to Delaware City by the Pcnnsyl
vania Central, substantial proofs of the ncces
sity for getting nearer the points of free and easy
shipments of coal at all seasons, and it cannot be
possible that Wilmington, the finest point on the
Delaware, will much longer remain without some
recognition of this important fact by some of the
great coal operators. The completion Of the
Wilmington aud Reading Railroad to the Valley
of the Lehigh will, in year or two demonstrate
more fully that this is the safest, most certain,
and therefore cheapest point on the Delaware
from which TO ship coal. But we hope before
that time to hear of arrangements being made by
the Reading II Pennsylvania Roads fer making a
depo, at this city. Certainly Wilmington harbor
could accommodate the Reading better than they
c ould be at the bleak and unprotected wharf of
Chester.

A serious and irreparabe loss occasioned by
the Boston contlagraton, is the complete destruc.
ton of the letters, papers and manuscripts of the
OF the historian Prcscrott. Mr.. Prescott's physi-
cal intirmity had made il necessary for him to
cause copies to he taken of an immense number
and variety of ancient and authentic documents
concerning Spain and the two Americas, and the
destruction of these, well as Of his own cores
pondence and literary memoranda; is in its way
public calamity 10 the world of letters. With
these also perished some of the finest portraits
ever painted hy COpley, the father of Lord Lynd.

Postal Tolegrapl1.

Company is seeking the passage Of Bill
through Congress from which probably as much
money may he got by the stockholders from the
government as was made by the Pacific Railroad
Company. This bill was reported in the Senate
from the committee on post Offices and post roads,
and is known as "The Hubbard Bill" with amend
msnts. Mr.. Gardner q. Hubbard being first
named in the list of Corporators. 1t requires the
Postmaster General, as soon as practicable, TO es-
:ablish telegraph Offices at all postoflices tee
graphic circuits, and at all other postofices with
in ten miles of any circuit where the salary is not
lass than $500 per annum, and is required also TO
establish telegraph offices at such other places as
the wants of business may require. The charge
for Transmission of kilograms shall be uniform for
equal distances at a rate not exceeding cent per
word for each circuit through which they shall be
transmitted, to lie computed as follows: For dis
tances under 900 miles, 80 miles shall he deemed
circuit. For any excess, 800 miles shall be
deemed u circuit. Fortnight messages l,ooo miles
o: less shall be deemed a circuit. All words are
to be counted, and no communication shall be
transmitted at a rate less than twenty-five cents
for each circuit These rates shall cover the cost
o: immediate delivery within one niile OF the

no postal telegraph Office but when the addressed
lives more than mile from the office, or be-
yond said delivery, such telegram shall be de-
nvered through the usual letter delivery or by
special messenger upon payment of a just and
proper sum, to be fixed by the Postmaster Cen
erai. All telegraphic communications between
the several departments Of the government, their
officers and agents shall have priority in trans
mission, without prepayment und at rates to be
1xed by the Postmaster General All o:her mes

pointed, to exercise general supervision over the

DISTINGUISHED ARRIVALS.

Yesterday at about 4 O'Clock P. N. Col.
Tom Scott and party arrived in Carson
,ity via the V. Il L. R. r. from Reno
and California. Accompanying his own
ace dining room coaches and one of the
silver palace sleeping cars of the c. P. r.
L. The little I. Z. James brought them
in and apparently had full load. Col.
:>eott's party consisted OF some seventeen
persons. among whom were Senator
Sherman Of Ohio, Governor Thockmor-
ton OF Texas T. A. Goodman. the general
ticket agent of the c. 2. r. r.. and other
friends of Colonel Scott, and many
III them accompanying him the whole trip
from the East. The party intended tn go
through to Virginia yesterday, but as we
understood, We're informed that they
could not get accommodation at that
place and as they could not take these
mammoth palaces over the short curves,
through the deep cuts and tunnels of
the road to Virginia, remained here all
night, and to-day will take passage in
coach OF the V. 4 T. Il. Il. and visit
Virginia, Gold Hill and the mines. To-
nigh, they will return and take their own
cars ~ the East, as they are now on the
home trip The visit OF these dIstin-
..uished gentlemen is one Of pleasure and
amusement only, SO far as Nevada is con-
ccrLei hut we are pleased to see them
ana glad they came this way. We hope
they VII see our mines to-day and our
biz mills, and when they return East,
think better of the pioneers Of the desert.

ter1ay, through their agents. Rice 4 Pc
tiers Of the Imperial, and r. Z. Kelley of
the Liverpool and london and Globe
Companies, met and adjusted their losses
un the basis of the amount insured and
corresponding losses. The Imperial had
IL risk of $4,000 on the building and will
pay 1922 10. The Liverpool and London
AMI Globe had mixed risk ON
the building, stock, bar fixtures and fur
nit,,re of $4,000 and will pay 81 $50 60
This is quick work and shows the stand
ing of these Companies. The property
has been turned over TO the possession
of the owners, and they will start in today
to rebuild, and as soon as the proper
vouchers can reach head quarters, the
payments will be made as stated above.
People living in wooden houses had bet
ter be on the safe side and keep insured.
for if they do not get as much as they
think they ousht to have, in case of fire,
what they do get very materially aids in
requiring the ruins, and buying new stock
and furniture
