Exporting Iro" aud Coat.

The New York Bulletin thinks that
with a general advance IN the prices OF
English coal and iron, ranging from 80
to 100 per cent. within the past year,
way is opening up to enable shipments
from this side. Hitherto, We are re-
minded, that "the United States have
not been able to export much coa and
still less iron, to foreign countries; but
the time seems propitions for US to be
gin to compete with England for the
EXPORT trade OF raw coal and The cruder
forms Of iron, wherein labor forms but
a considerable item OF cost. Every fur
mace which is in working order in the
country is turning out all the metal it
can, and the profits are so large as to
induce either very great competition
from new furnaces, or fresh demands
from the laborers, or both. The rumor
about stmulous to both iron making
and coal mining is very decided and
mining engineers in the emplov Of
English and Pennsylvsnis capitalists
are exploring the new terrirority recent
" opened to the markets OF the world
by the construction OF the West Viz
giuis and Kentucky railroads"

The Crops.

WASHINGTON, September 3.-The
wheat crop OF the northwest will be
Of full average, although in central
Missouri and Kansas it will be- nearly
a total failure. The great wheat belt
of the north, beginning with western
New York and taking in northern
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and the SOUTH
west OF Michigan is untouched with any
disaster; the crop is splendid in quality
and Weld. In all this section the corn
crop of the north and west will be the
largest for many years, while rye, bar
lev and oats, particularly the latter,
will be considerably above the average.
The South has secured the largest wtea'
crop, making allowances tor heavy
losses, she ever harvested. The pros
poets are we shall have the most
bountiful year since the war.

Senator Bayard, of Delaware, conduct.
ed Judge Lyons to the Chair: He de-
livered lengthy speech. He said we
had come together like pilgrims in the
faith, to defend the shrine OF our country.
He laid great stress on the Baltimore
nominees, calling them the Dolly Vsr>
den party, all colors together without
any regard to taste. They came to-
gether avowing they had no principles
but TO get into power, or as thev put 1t
very finely, to get Grant out. 1t was a
coalition between dissatisfied office
seekers. Horace Greeley was man
who never entertained an honest opinion
twenty. four hours in his life.
His speech was loudly applauded.
Mr. Byckman. Of New York, moved
that the letter Of Mr. 0Conor be re'er-
red to the Committee on Resolutions.

A motion was made that when the
Convention adjourn, they do so until

a motion to adjourn.
Just after the reading Of OConor's
letter, while the call Of States was be-
ing made in Convention, Mr.. Vallin-
Of Kentucky, arose and
moved that this Convention adjourn
until November 20. This was received
with fearful storm Of hisses from all
parts of the house and cries Of "Put

de egate asked if a motion to put him
out was in order. The Chair said he
thought it was. Mr. Vallindlghsm
retired.
On reassembling ia the evening, Mr..
Hibler. Of Kentucky, explained that
Mr.. Vallandigham had misunderstood
M. O'Conor's letter, misconstruing it as
paving the way for another sell out Of
the party to the enemy. He hsd.apol'
ogized to the State legation. and now,
Mr.. Hrbler, desired to offer his
a pology to the National Convention.
The apology was received and Mr.

WENDELL PHILLIPS.
Horace Greeley Most FOrcibly and ElO-
quently Commended to Sensible,
Honest People.

New YORK, August 17.-In his letter
to the colOred citizens of Boston, Wen
dell Phillips saws that Sumner is the
dupe and indorser, and Greeley the tool
of the conspiracy between the Northern
copperheads and Southern secessionists.
The South has often announced in the
last instance by the lips of Jefferson
Davis, that the cause was not lost, and
must be won by getting possession OF
the government, and leave US in the op-
position. Such is the plot that Mr..
Greeley sees, and he would never pre-
vent aiding it; and that Sumner does
not see it, is to me a matter of profound
astonishment at such a moment. The
regular Republican party becomes again
accepted, and is the only instrument of
resistance, and Grant represents loyalty
as Lincoln did in 1861. If General
Grant is set aside, who is offered me in
his place? Greeley! / need not tell
you, my friends, what Greeley is. We
AbOlitiOnists knew him only too well
in the weary years of our struggle. He
had enough of clear moral vision to see
the justice of our cause, but be never
had courage enough to confess his faith.
If events had ever given him the cour-
age, he never would have had principle
enough TO risk anything for an idea. A
trimmer by nature and purpose, he has
abused even an American politicians
privilege of treating principles for sue
cess; but for lack of ability, he would
have been the chief time-server of his
age. Inever knew till now any of his
apoiogists so needless and indiscriminat-
ing as even to claim that he was a sin
cere man.

ESTABLISHED 1910.
IS rHE nALLor.Rox A FARcE .

The New York Herald says there has
been no election of late in which, from
all appearances, there have been such
gross irregularities and tampering with
the balIot-box as in the recent election
in North Carolina. The politicians there
are not a whit more unscrlpulOus and
bold in their dishonest manipulation OF
the ballots than those Of New York have
been. We are inclined to think, from
the information we have published, that
they beat the old Tammany politicians.
They know how to keep the ballots
locked up and uncOunted in certain
localities, carrying the boxes home
with them, till they learn the
number of votes required to accomplish
their objects. Though the law requires
the Sheriffs Of the precincts and town
ships to publicly announce the vote cast
for all the candidates from the court
house door within a specified time after
the election, this law has not been COM
piled with in several localities. Our
correspondent informs us that this was
the case in Craven county, and that in
Warren the pOll-holders, contrary
to law, carried home the ballot
boxes, and did not count the votes till
the day after. In the First Congress
sional district, where Pool resides, the
boxes, it is said, were held till it was
found convenient to count the ballots.
In several counties, claimed to be Ad-
ministrsriOn Republican, the vote cast
exceeded the voting population. In Du-
plin county the voting population is put
down at twenty-nine hundred and fifty
nine; the number of votes actually re-
ported is thirty-fOur hundred and eighty
five. And so in Cumberland, Franklin,
Halifax, Lenoir, Nash, Robson and
other counties the same suspicious
Irregularities and frauds are noticed.
The mass Of Illegal and fraudulent
votes pOlled apparently is in the
counties throughout the State where the
negroes are most numerous and have
the political power. 1t seems evident
that the administration Republicans
have been playing desperate game.
Under such a state of things the ballot
box is farce. The Legislature, when
it meets, viii undoubtedly investigate
the matter. Though Caldwell may
claim TO have been elected Governor by
a thousand or fifteen hundred ma
jority, he may yet find that his
bogus votes viii not be re-
cOgnized. MerrimOn may after
all be declared Governor by handsome
majority. We hope, for the sake Of the
purity of the ballot-box and republican
institutions, the matter viii be thorough
ly probed. and the fraud exposed, which
ever party may gain or lose by the op-
Grafton. And we warn the administra-
ton not TO interfere, but to leave the
local authorities to decide upon and con-
rro1 THAR own affsaira
