Several times during the late political cam

Republicans at the South, who said they
could not safely remain there, if Gen. Grant
should fail of reelection. We have moi

but if they were to write, it would doubles:

one whom Hdrpcr's Weekly youches for a.
zone of the most candid of Republicans in
the Southern States. who was born and ha:
always lived in that part Of the country, .
who writes as follows

TIE telegraph has mentioned the fact
that Mr. Charles T. Chester. who con-
structed the Fire Alarm Telegraph in the
city of New York, which Is said to be the
most complete system of Fire Alarm Tele-
graph now in use, has just obtained a man
damus against the city to compel the pay
ment Of 5000 coo Of the money still due
him. We have heard that the old Tweed
government tried to blackmail Mr.. Chester
out Of $50 600, but met with no success
The consequence was. payment of his dues
was not made, and Mr. Chester had to
wait until the new Comptroller, Mr.. Green,
came into Office. Mr.. Green refused payment
because it was an old claim. 1t was referred
to Judge DAILY who reported that Mr..
Chester had not only filed the terms Of
his contract, but had also expended over
SO 200 in useful appliances, beyond the de-
mands of his contract. Upon this showing
Judge Brady granted the mandamus.

In a recent lecture by a geologist
engaged on the Royal Coal Commits
sion, the opinion was expressed that
the coal fields of England had origin
ally been joined together in one
large area, but that by ,arious
changes, such as downthrow, the va
rious fields have been separated. The
intervening spaces, it was conjec-
tured, covered coal, which, however,
was buried SO deep that it could not
be worked with profit. 1t was as
serted that considerably more coal
lay concealed at workable depths than
appeared in the fields. The South
Staffordshire field. it was asserted,
contained 3,201, 672 ,216 tons of coal;
the Warwickshire, AS, $50, ia tons;
and the Leicestershire, S36. 799, 734
tons, making total of 4,497, 1914 ,664

A late number of the Utica IN. "

A late number of the Utica IN. w.
Observer says:
"In 1868 one of the most infuen-
tial supporters of General Grant for
the Presidency was Mr.. Alexander
T. Stewart, the merchant prince of
New York. He was doubtless a sim
cere admirer of Grants military Der
vices, and when the gentleman who
was subsequently appointed Assist
ant Treasurer of New York passed
around the paper for gifts to Grant,
Mr.. Stewart readily subscribed the
sum of SO, 200. This present seems
to have made a lasting impression on
the Generals mind, for when he
came to the Presidency he nominated
Mr.. Stewart for Secretary of the
Treasury, in violation of the law
creating the office, which declares
that no importer shall be incumbent
of the place. Now, however, Mr..
Stewarthas een enough of Grantism.
He would gladly have closed his eyes
to the evils of the Administration,
but he could not. So now, in a quiet
and unpretentious way, he announces
his intention of supporting Horace
Greeley for President. He knows
NJ. Greeley to be an honest man.
He believes that nc rogue would be
sustained in Office after his rascality
was made manifest, by the farmer of
Chappaqua. He is certain that no
Administration could be worse than
this. and he knows that any change
would be for the better"

The Springfield Republican says:
1T is possible, as some OF our friends
insist, that Mr.. Greeley will make a
poor President. But it is unwise in
them 20 insist that he was a failure
as a Congressman. On the question
of opinion they may be right; on the
question of fact we know them to be
wrong. Mr.. Greeley's whole term
of service in the House barely Gov
cred a period Of three months. Yet
in this quarter OF year he set on
foot three great reforms Of which the
country is now reaping the benefit.
1t was Congressman Greeley who
brought in the first homestead bill,
who struck the first blow at the mile
age abuse, and who first a~ssailed the
English doctrine, Once a subject,
always a snbject,' by laying down in
a resolution the doctrine that every
man has a right to migrate from his
native land to. another, and, in be
coming a citizen of the latter, to re.
nounce allegiance to the former Not
