How Mr.. Summers Letter is Received
rH. at Boston.

AEEuul shRO W WeohtAktoA 1t9AJ
Mr.. SumnerIglll find his home papers
unpleasant reading. The Boston Globe
styles his letter "The Sumner surrender" "
and designates him as "the Judas Of ran.
cor and revenge" The Boston AduertiSer,
the respectable daily" always friendly
to Mr.. Sumner, says: "The fact that
Mr.. Sumner has brought himself TO that
state where he could sec the Dem.
ocratic party restored with equanim.
ity, and thinks 1t best for his peculiar
people TO bend their necks once more,
while their traditional enemies climb
over them to power, Is q phenomenon
which nothing In modern political science
explains" When, therefore, the colored
voters are told with the gravity Of convic.
ton that the President, as soldier or as
magistrate, has done nothing for them
that he has been, in fact, stumbling.
block in their way; that the Republican
party, in uphOlding him, has become
equally worthless, and that the only way
the negroes can be sure of human rights
is by going with Mr.. Sumner and Mr..
Greeley over TO the Democracy, the
AdrertiSer thinks they will naturally
inquire in return, mot what the Demo.
cratic party has done to deserve their con.
lidenCe, though that Is Of some conse.
Quence to them, but what has been the
quality Of Mr.. Summers service, and what
are the grounds oil his pretensions to ad.
wise and lead them. And turning to the
record, whatever they may find there to
the credit Of Mr.. Summers intentions, they
will also find that Of the great measures
brought forward in their interest, and
designed TO secure them equality
under the laws, and to protect
them in the exercise oEthe rights guaran.
teed to them, they have been oftener
banked, hindered, complicated, delayed
sometimes defeated, by Mr.. Summers
management, than by that Of any other
Senator who has been counted on theiI
side. His magnificent personality has
entered into nearly all these discussions
binding his sagacity, making muddlt
of his judgment, embarrassing and exas
perating his political associates and
friends"

The Rise on Coal in England and
Its Effects on English Industries.

(From the Phlla. Reeord)
The English papers received by the last
mail are filled with speculations on the
unprecedented rise in the price of coal,
and Its probable effects on the manuIac.
turing industries Of that country. This
advance is probably chiefly due 10 the
preceding advance In iron. The London
Kc0aomiSt considers the true cause 10 be
that production has increased so rapidly
from variety Of causes that It has over.
taken the supply Of the instruments with
which it works, and coal Is the great
instrument" Our London cotemporary
also remarks that "the supply ofcoal and
the means Of supplying 1t have not dimin.
ished d-on the contrary greatly increased;
but the sudden multiplication of the wants
Of the world has had all the effect on Il
which the sudden introduction Of a great
many new mouths would have on the
customarily sufficient supplies of food"
The enhanced cost OF living to the British
penplc which Tits advance in both coal
and iron involves Is a popular subject OF
discussion in England. As theCadyance
in the price Of iron has enhanced, the
price Of coal, SO this Increase will again
react and make the cost OF producing
iron higher than ever. This state Of the
iron and coal markets In England cannot
but exercise an important influence In
this country. II must tell upon good
many enterprises now In progress, as well
as the projected building Of new rail.
roads, and may not be in tho end an un-
mixed evil. The tendency 10 multiply
this class Of Improvements In every direc-
ton Is rapidly approaching, Il 1t has not
already become q mania, and 1t will per.
haps be wise that we should 'haltn
awhile and consider well the foundations
upon which we are standing. Weshould
consider well how many and where We
are building railroads, and more especial
ly in what manner we are building them
whether with accumulated capital or
with debts None will question that
a railroad almost anywhere isla good
thing In itself, and promotiVe of the
prosperity Of the country through
which 1t traveEses; but 1t may be possible,
nevertheless, to pay too large price for
1t, and il Ia serious question whether the
amount OF capital sunk In enterprises Of
this sort is not greater loss than the
possible good from them warrants. Il will
not be denied that hundreds Of millions
have already been sunk, not one dollar Of
which will ever be returned to those on
whom the loss has fallen, and though the
ultimate gain 10 the country at large iS
certain, yetit would be. quite as well to
hold up awhile and make out trial bal.

of railroad building in all It's effects, flhan.

people, and more particularly stockhold-
ers, may find time to look into their man.
