ASOrHBE NEw CoAL MINE.-The high price
CT coal in England is rapidly developing the
coal fields OF the United States. Last spring
Mr.. E X. Haight and other capitalists of Wash
ington and Baltimore purchased tract of coal
land near Paramount, and have equipped ii in
the most substantial manner, so sstO ship three
hundred tons of coal per day. The coal dips to-
ward the railroad, and Is self-draining, and can
therefore be mined economically, and on &C
count of its freedom from sulphur will make a
very pure quality of coke and an excellent coal
for CRATES. The gentlemen above alluded to
have organi zed company, called the Monon-
thirty coking ovens, and also TO erect chutes to
supply the locomotives Of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad with about seventy live tons Of

full, as il we'll deserves n careful pera-
sal.
The administration of Gov. Brown
viii always@bu remembered with

II put an end to the rule Of proscrip-
ton aud hate, and inangnrated an
era of peace aud good will. The
Radical press aiTcctto find fault win
his course aud denouncc him in un-
measured terms but this is simply
the snarling Of resentment, because
he lent q hand to the breaking of the
shacklss that held in political bond-
age seventyiirc thousand of our cit
~ixens, aud thereby deprived pro-
scription of place and power. lie
can we'll afford to dcspisc tho efforts
of such to injure him, for lie carries
with him into his retirement the good
will of those who elected him, and
the uudying gratitude vi every cn-
irranchised white man in the State.
Lexington weekly intelligencer. (Lexington, Mo.) 1871-1887, 1873-01-08

Tho verdict of guilty OF murder In
tho 6rstf degree Against Stokes was
the best svidence afforded by the
Now York courts In a long time that
they are not utterly %depravpd and
corrupt. 1t will be indorsed by the
people everywhere. and tho jury that
found 1t will he praised for posses
sing . higher moral courage than
juries generally display. It has
seemed as plain q ease Of unpro-
voked aud prcmeditated murder ~
has evers bsen committed IN this
country, and the only wonder. is thai
the tria! has been SO long postponed.
The public win not feel entirely sat
isfied, however, until the final dispo.
sition Of tho case in the denial Of new
hearings and appeals. Thcre are still
some chances ofescape for Stokes but
we trust they will sson disappear.
lilo will haye to be sentenced to death
and although we believe there are
better uses even for Stokes than
hSnging him, it would require even q
stronger hostility to capital punish
meut than we entertain to prompt
any intercession for him. Wo would
like TO sec tho gallows abolished, but,
while the subject of its abolition is
under consideration, il cannot be put
to O better use than the punishment
of such malcfactors as Stokes. If
there DO any merit i'm the gallows, as
an example ~ eyil-docrs, it cannot
DO shown TO greater advantage than
in the execution of the murderer OF
