Thero Is eaid TO DO serious apprehension Of n

30 high alroady TINT tho poorer classes l,ayo lad
to do without It. Tho sum Of s12.50 docs not
aoom to DO MI oxorbitaht prico for cannol conl,
nccording to tho American tariff, but 1t is 30 In
view Of tho fact that tho avoragc prico in Eng
land heretofore Inns boon from $5 to 90. The
riso is oxplafnoab by tho oxistonco Of ring Of pro-
prletora md ring Of doalors who fix tho pricos
to suit themselves. They claim that tho recent
strihos, tho diminution OF tho number Of hours
which tho minors work, and the incroaso Of tho
pay which they receive, forco them to fl tho
pricos at tho high figures stated. Political ocon-
omistB go further, however, md asaert tint
henceforth tho demand will DO In oxcoss Of
tho supply, and TINT prices will incroaHo propor-
tfonatoly. It is aald that tho combined coal-
fields Of England do not contain moro
than o0,0o0,0o0,0o0 tons. Tho nnnual
consumption is estimated at about liz. 900, 600
tons. The cost Of mining ia increasing, not
only on account Of the higher prices paid for
labor, but on account Of the groator depth ut
which tho coal must DO worked. Tho latter
difficulty will naturally grow with evory year.
Under these conditions, It is safo to aesumc that
coal will never again DO so cheap in England "a
heretofore, "a circumstance that will materially

two separate bollos. Tho Democratic party did

tlnotivo character. Itnomlnatoi Horace drooloy

tho Democratic organization. Probably 1t could
not havo dono anything o1ao ut thaE tfnc. On
tho otlior hand, tho Liberals could not, oven If
thoy wero 30 disposed, attaoh thomso1vcs' to tho
Democratic purity. In brcaking with their old
political frienls, thoy had no into1tion Of elo-
vating their old political enemies; still loas OF
putting In forco tho principles which lad gov
ornod Tho Democratic pnrsy during tho previous
tendod to organize nov party. It came short
of its object by striving for aucocas In the first
campaign. The Democratic party, instead OF
uniting aa members Of this now party, dis
claimed any opon connection with 1t, but
adopted its platform md resolved to vote
for Its. candidates. Tho opposition in 1879
was, therefore, 4 dual organization, having
no firm bond Of unity. Some Democrats, still
holding allegiance to their party refused to vote
for Republicans, and Republicans In the several
sssaate elections refused to vote for men who in-
siated TINT they belonged to tho Democratic
party. Undor these circumstances, as Gov.

We have been treated with a few copies
of the daily GLOBE, and it is all and more
than we had reason to expect. Of good
size, on unusually fine, clear paper, the
Typography as distinct as though it were
an invaluable book that would be of inter
est for century to come. We are anX-
iously looking for the appearance of the
weekly, which, we doubt not, will bear
the same impress of excellence.

j. NJ. Slade, deputy collector, n few
weeks since levied upon piece of real es-
tate belonging to Mr.. Ware, and, after sew
cral adjournments, on the list inst, it was
sold at public auction. Mr.. Sladc bid it
| off in behalf of the government, in pay
ment of the claim, which was, with costs,
over one hundred dollars. This resulted
from tine neglect of Mr.. Ware to obtain a
license as brewer of small beer. There
appears to be diversity of opinion among
revenue officers respecting the intent of the
law. Some hold that licence should be
procured, others that it is exempt. Why
this exposition of the law should be en-
forced in this isolated case and not in any
other in this region of country is mys-
terry. The land bid off in this case will
not probably sell for one-fourth of the
claim.
