The Price of CoaI-.CO.O peratIOn
Against Dealers Combination.

The following was handed in couple
of days ago, but mislaid:
TO the Editors OF tho IntellIgencer.
The announcement Of Goal Dealers"
in this mornings paper, fixing the prices
at which "they will sell coal In this city"
hereafter, should arrest the attention Of
consumers.
Is there any good reason why consum-
ers should now pay such prices as those
named9 With our hills about the city
full of coal, most accessible, and easily
mined, does 1t not seem as though the an.
nounced advance Is unnecessary and IN:
called for?
Is it now time for consumers to inquire
into this matter and ascertain whether,
BY combinations among themselves, an
abundance of coal cannot be procured
from abroad at more reasonable rates!
But little capital would be needed to pro.
cure regular supply from such sources,
and associations OF consumers in different
sections of the city could doubtless read.
lily command the requisite capital for that
purpose, and thus supply themselves at a
saving Of several cents per bushel. Con.
sumers should at once move in the mat
ter and ascertain, OF least, whether any
thing can be gained BY q combined effort
to obtain cheap fuel. CONSUMER.

AHASA4 tAAS AAASAAFt
Perhaps any period is q poor time in
which to propose the annexation OF new
territory 10 the United States. Certainly
the present Is. With two or three States
approaching anarchy, to talk OF "enlarg-
ing the area Of freedom" seems fine sRr.
caSm. But lapse in the royal line In
the little Kingdom Of Hawaii Is sure to be
seized on as q pletext for bringing under
the American flag the Sandwich Islands,
to which not few Of our statesmen and
politicians have heretofore cast longing
glRnces. We all know the staple argu-
ments: dying race, predominant mert-
can interests, halfway port In our
track to Asia, rich addition to our pro-
ductive revenues; this Is the sort Of q plea
the advocates OF annexation are sure to
make. Faint echoes Of their opening
campaign already reach us from Wash
ington. Now, We do not need any more
national territory; we do need to i'm
prove and govern better what we have
AS q nation we arc amply spread out
already; and our latest acquisition Is yet
governed by military law-it II is gov
erned at all. The scheme for the annex
alton Of Santo Domingo never met with
popular favor, and Is regarded to-day
with Indifference or active alarm. The
Sandwich Islands, in the middle OF the
Pacific, three weeks sale from the Amer.
lean coast, overwhelmed with debt and
peopled by an efeminste race OF men
would DO a bigger elephant on our hands
than evenIicy Alaska has proved.
We have difficulties enough already II
our way irworking out the great problem
Of sell government. Free institutions can
not endure without intelligence and reli-
gion. Have we such surplus Of these II
the last four or five millions Of addition e
our citizenship that We must needs bE
hunting for new semi.tropical and semi
barbarous peoples to be added to our 70
ting population ? We are sufficiently ex'
posed already, in case Of foreign war
Must we needs be hunting for more cx-
posed points on which to plant our flag
so that, without navy to defend II, Il
could be Inundated at pleasure by the
first aggressor! We have q territory nov
vaster than any government in history hal
been able permanently to hold together.
Must we travel two thousand miles Into
the ocean for more?

The CITY COAL BUSINESS, AGAIN.
Mr.. John Clator, member ofthe city Coal
Committee, called yesterday to make
some explanations in relation to the
transaction OF the Committee recently re-
ferred to in our columns. Mr.. Clator
states that he as member Of the sub
committee has handled IN all little less
than $500 bushels, has ceased operations,
and having collected for all but few
loads finds himself with q balance ofsOme
four or five dollars in favor Of the city. In
reference to case referred to by us where
gentleman claimed that he was obliged
to take load EOr49 bushels when It weigh
ed but 80, Mr.. Clator states that the case
was this. The person who got the coal
had paid coalhauler for 42 bushels ap-
parently under the impression that he was
in the employ Of the Committee. The
load not coming he went 10 the Committee
for the coal and asked to have it delivered;
on the strength Of the payment made to
the driver. MIR. Clator declined TO rec
ognize the transaction with the driver,
who he alleges was not in his employ and
had no authority TO make sales for the
Committee. He sent tho gentleman a
load however, 10 be paid for by him
which on being weighed was found to con.
tain 35 bushels; and next day the driver
who had been paid for load Of AZ bush
els called and paid Mr.. Clator for the
load of So bushels. The difficulty in this
case, 1t thus appears, grew out ola mis-
understanding as to the connection ofthe
Coal.hauler with the Committee and it
does not appear from Mr.. Clator's
statement that he was to blame.
AS to the matter of weighing
coal Mr.. Clator states that wherever the
purchaser wished, the coal was sent to
the scales and weighed; that in order to
protect himself he would require irrespon.
sible or unknown parties to pay on taking
away load what he estimated 1t 10 con-
tain, with directions to have it weighed
ifthey wished and iritwas short toreturn
to him and have overpayment refunded.
Discrepancies thus found were refunded
by him in several cpses, and in few the
purchasers finding they had got too much
came back and paid the difference. Mr..
Clator states that some coal was given
away to persons who came for 1t In small
quantities, q bushel OF so at a time, and
had nothing to pay with, and that the
coal did not hold out in some cases as
measured 10 the Committee in the cars,
but that as stated he came out few
dollars ahead. 1t does not appear,
80 far as we can judge from the
evidence in, that the Committee had any
purpose TO do more than make the coal
bring what it cost or TO do any wrong 10
individuals or to the city. Having re,
ceived no further complaints, We are led
to conclude that there Is no serious or
general dissatisfaction with the Commit,
tees operations. The total transactions
fall greatly below what wesupposed they
would be, and greatly below the csti-
mates Of others, if We may judge by the
remark Of member of council at the
time the Committee was raised, that he
thought It would be necessary for tho city
to borrow $4,000 to carry ont the object
OF the resolution.

EVERYBODY knows how persistent
Mr.. Sumner has been in introducing
his Civil Rights Bill, In season and out
ofseason; also, how equally persistent
Senator Bayard, Of Delaware, has
been in opposing it. The other day
when Summers bill was reached
on the calender, Senator Carpenter,
who was IN the chair, turned toward
Bayard and said, "Does the Senator from
Delaware obicct" II will, If the Chair
desires it." replied Bayard, "but did moi

The Glory Of the Enforcement Law.

The proceedings by the United States
authorities at Rochester against Miss
ANTHONY and the dozen other women
who were allowed to vote there at the
recent election, strikes us Us either far
clcal or tlagrantly unjust. There was
certainly no purpose on the part oil those
women to commit any fraud on the ballot
box. Claiming and believing that they
had a right as citizens to vote under the
United States Constitution, they went to
the polls openly and asked to BIO allowed
to do 80, distinctly asserting the ground
OF their claim, not disguised as men, not
pretending to be anything but women,
not claiming vote on any ground which
could possibly deceive the election Off
GERS, not contemplating or committing
fraud in any sense. II the law
was violated by anybody, it was
by the election officers, and not by
these women. II this prosecution is
not serious, the farce has been carried
far enough. If it is, it IS in most dis
graceful contrast with the conduct Of the
authorities in reference 10 real election
frauds elsewhere. In the city Of Phila-
delpLia, at the same election thousands
OF votes were cast and counted by fraud;
and with even ordinary vigilance there
need have been no difficulty about laying
the clutches of the law on the guilty par
ties. Has any body heard Of an effort to
ferret out and punish any Of the fraudsper.

PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY.

Jeremy Bentham, whose memory has
been revived by the deaths of Grote
and Mills, his two most distinguished
pupils, took more serious course to
dispel popular decisions about the dis
section OF human bodies. He begueath-
cd his corpse to the col ege of surgeons,
and aware that obloquy would attend
compliance with his directions, he chose
three friends, in whose firmness he had
confidence, for his executors. They
were faithful. In the small lecture
room of the Webb school of anatomy.
the body of the deceased philosopher
was seated on chair, placed upon q
table, under the skylight. More were
present except personal friends and
members of the faculty. His eminent
successor pronounced his eulogy. Dur
ing its delivery the profeuud silence
among the audience was broken only
by loud peals of thunder answering to
vivid flashes of lightning which seemed
to give vitality to the uncovered face
and hands Of the dead man.
With feelings OF reverence for depart.
ed greatness, and in the presence of
death, there mingled sense of the pow
er which that lifeless body was exercis-
ing for public good. 1t was worthy
close of the personal career of the wise
and great philanthropist. Not the body
of the CD, borne upright on horseback
out of of the city he had conquered, nor
burial of hero, fallen on the battle field,
nor obsequies of stolid and mitred
priests in Gothic aisles ever excited
deeper emotion than did the stern
simplicity of this strange funeral, where
the utility of principle triumphed over
Imagination. And it produced the eff
fects designed. Public attention was
aroused to difficulties in the way of ana
tomical studies, the use of the dead to the
living was discussed in the newspapers
and the anatomy bill was passed by par
lament. The old philosophers skele-
ton, as it sits dressed tn the clothes he
usually wore, witnesses from the Cover
street musuem the almost entire ban
ishment of popular delusion about dis
section Appleton's Journal.

presbyterian SYNOD OF MISSOURI. ---Th,
Independent or Ola School Presbyterian SYNOD
of Missouri met 10 St. Louis on Friday. This i
the synod which 10 1866 asserted declaration
and testimony which caused it to be ruled out
Of representation, and which led to its secession
from the Northern General Assembly, to which
1t then belonged, and since when it has been
independent of all higher bodies.
The most interesting question before the Sy-
nod was a proposition to unite with the South
ern and Reformed Church. A lengthy discus.
sion was had, in which Rev. Dr. Brooks, OF St.
Louis, was the most prominent oppoSer Of the
proposition.
\ vote was finally reached late Friday night,
and resulted in II yeas to 50 nays.
d.. Brooks then asked the thiry-two oppo-
nents OF the union to meet in his church next
morning to determine what further action
should be taken.
Rev. DR.. Brooks and his friends, held
meeting and decided to take no action until
after the Presbyterians have voted on sending
communications to the next meeting Of the
Southern General Assembly.
