vAr.sr REPORT.

A stunning report was sent over the
country day or two'since to the erect
that twenty-five prominent Democrats
had held meeting to inaugurate steps
for holding another National Oonvep-
ton. in case the Baltimore Convention
nominate Greeley and Brown. There
does not appear to be any truth IN the
report. A Washington dispatch says;
Not Democratic Senator or member
remaining in the city knows of any such
movement, nor do any of the Democrats
out of official life who may be called
prominent have any such information.
No one can even find the Colonel Grey
who is named, with headquarters at
Indianapolis, as the leader Of the new
convention; and an ex-member of Con-
gress, McCorkle, of California, is the
only one otherwise mentioned in con-
nection with it.

The Courier.J Journal is getting its back
up about Dan Voorhees,. 1t says: Dan
Voorhees, loves the South. In 1860 he
told us that the Abolitionists would have
to walk over his dead body to get at us.
Yet he voted men and money to subdue
us. Three weeks ago he reminded us of
our obligation to him; and then, when
our dearest liberties were up in the
scale and being weighed in the balance,
he ran away from Congress and left us
to root for ourselves, whilst he plotted
our destruction in Indiana. AS the
young lady in Gloster observed to the
young man os Beryal, "d-m such a

fortunes Of its late president, Jay Gould,
and some of his associates in the man

Instituted after the change in the

proceedings against Jay Gould, and have
instituted suit, demanding relief to the
extent Of $6,0OO,0o0.

GREELEY ON HIMSELF AS A CANDIDATE
This is what Dir. Greeley thought about becom-
ing GLmoeratic candidate for the Presidency
last SeptemvSrr. Ii is an extract from a speech
delivered by HIM a, Warren, Ohio, at that time.
Read in the light OF recent events it is interest
ing, as IT must be consoling to on, democratic
brethren who are invited TO eat crow:
"Feliow-citizens, 1 desire to say a few words
upon the questions which fundan.a ntallv divide
the two parties. Questions, not OF to-day bur
for all time, divide US. 1 saw the other d,y-for
there Is nothing incredible or impossible that
does not get into the newspapers-a suggestion
that would probably be the best democratic
candidate 10 run against General Grant for
President. thought that about the most absurd
thing ever heard or read, for though General
Grant il not democrat, he was one once. Z
never was at any time Of my life; and If the
democratic party were called on to decide be-
tween Grant and myself, L know that tbeis

Nasty, capable nv understanding it, and at

I'm bought with British gold. L amt harlot,

Coal in England is at present from sixty to
one hundred per cent. higher than it was one
year ago, and the whole manufacturing indus
try OF that country is considerably embarrassed
in consequence. The London Economist ex-
plains the cause in the immense increase in
every sort of manufacture throughout the world
Railroads, says that journal, have been extend
ed, steamers have been multiplied, machinery
IN every trade has been increased, and the eff
tectyeEess of machinery has been daily intensi-
led by new inventions. The result is that the
producing power of mankind is 1T higher
pitch than II has ever been, and il follows that
not only are the raw materials of every manu-
faeture in great demand, "a they are in every
Prosperous period, but the instruments of pro-
duction, especially coal, are now pre-eminently
in demand.
thought not TO take long, however, to obviate
this difficulty as the supply of coal will doubtless
soon be sufficient 10 supply the demand in con-
sequence of the increased wages which must
necessarily be paid to the producers of coal.
England always has an army of starving poor
who would be only too glad to get an opportu-
nifty of working in the mines at living wages.
Give these loOr creatures a chance to work and
the coal supply will net long remain inadequate
to the demand.

rain quickly followed every battle in which

the city authorities to purchase a few thousand
pounds OF gun powder; apply to the War De-
FaItmcut for artillery; station the guns at seve.
raj points near the city, and bang away all day
The result, he thinks, would be a copious fall o.
rain.
The correspondent may and may not be cor
rect in the assertion that heavy rains followed
every battle in which there was heavy cannon
aiding during the late civil war; but certain it is
that tremendous rain fall, lasting several
hours, took place after the battle of Gettysburg
This was doubtless the most furious artillery
contest fought during the war, perhaps as many
as two hundred and fifty guns being continu-
ously employed for about three hours. On this
particular occasion the suddenness with which
the storm came up Immediately after the battle
rendered plausib the theory that the rain was
directly attributable to the violent atmospheric
conclusion caused by the heavy cannonading.
