Defeated ardor; then, again, rill

For trust in God, and life were but {

COAL To ADVANCE TEN CENTS Per TON
PER MoNTH.-The trade continues steady, but
without special feature. The demand Il more
active and prices are evidently on the advance.
In this city an advance OF IS cents per ton was
very generally put on by the retailers on the Ist,
10 cover, a. said, the advances made monthly
Ter the last two or three months. The last sale
OF Scranton coal, II those sales be fair eNpOnents
OF prices, shows that an advance OF - per cent
per ton is warranted by the market. There is,
however. considerable excitement at all the
coal ceIters In consequence OF the now general
ly conceded fact that there is a combination
controlling the supply ofcoal in the market aud
Its price. We do not see that the newspaper
scolding at the fact is likely 20 alter results
while TO the extent that consumers of coal are
thereby deferred in their purchases the evil NAV
follow OF having to pay hi CHER prices with eaci
succeeding months delay. IL seems very GER
tain for this year at least, that the coal trade is
in the hands of the five great carrying cOmpa-
MES, all of which are also producing com panies,
and have unitedly agreed 10 advance prices ten
cents per ton with each incoming mOnth.-Phtl

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF SIR JOHN A. MAC
DONALD.
Boston, August "a special dispatch from
Montreal, dated the 4th instant, TO the Ad-
rertiser, says a rumor was current SUNDAY
and to-day that Sir John A. Macdonald had
attempted suicide. The government organs
however, deny the story. 1t is certain, how
ever, that the Premier has been in a low state.
THE PACIFIC RAILROAD SCANDAL.
Mr. Beatth, Jr., refers TO his connection
with the Pacific railroad scandal in letters over
his signaturein the Herald. He Enthusiastically
and minutely relates the arrangements for
securing 500 900 from Americans for use of the
government, goes into the particulars of his
interviews with ministers, and shows their
readiness to take and make, come from where
1T might, SO long as it would enable them 10
retain power. He asks for $4,000 now and
$4,000 again, and says: 81 have about three
months correspondence, both by letter and by
personal interviews, of first importance TO the
government and all this with the ultimate OBJ
ject of settling the Union Pacific" He gives
the following extract from a letter from one of
the ministry: "The Telegraph is trying to turn
the concern into joint stock. / hope il will
succeed. 1t will be the entering wedge and new
capital will consolidate the concern" He saws
again: 81 will subside until action is deemed
indispensibly necessary

ST. Louis, Aug. 5.-An election was held yes
terday in the Cherokee nation for members Of
the national council and delegates to the grand
council at Ocmulgee, which meets the fret
Monday IN December next. The interest in
the election rests mainly upon issues which
have sprung up in the nation during the past
few years relative to the establishment of ter
ritorial government for Indian territory, and
allotment and in severalty. The progressive
party believe they have carried the election.

ratify or reject the constitution which was
framed by the grand council at Ocmulgee in
1870, and upon this issue the campaign was con-
