Large Legislatures.

'1n reply to requests from Pennsylvania
for information respecting the practical re-
suits of large membership in legislative bo-
dies, the Governors of New Hampshire,
Vermont and Connecticut, have written
brief letters, in which they concur in the
opinion that it is great safeguard against
bribery and corruption. The New Hamp-
shire House of Representatives consists of
800 members. Gov. Straw writes: There
has never been any corruption charged in
our Houselof Representatives" Governor
Jewell, of Connecticut, says: "In my opin-
ion, large number of Representatives
certain guard against corruption" and he
goes on to say: Il am proud to say there
never has been any corruption of the Leg
islaturc. What is true of this, is equally
true, think of all the New Eng gland
States" Gov. Converse, of Vermont, writes:
1--WE have often attempted to reduce the
number of Representatives, but we have
always failed. The main ground of failure
and think so, tools the security it
gives against corruption. think to-day
the reasoning against lessening the number
is stronger than at any prior period in the
history of the State. The experience of
some of the sister States, for few years
past, think, has irrevOcably established

the people. most heartily concur in this
opinion, that it prevents fraud and corrup-
ton
The above item containing the opinions
of several Governors with respect to num-
bers in Legislative assemblies, inveighs not
little against the provision in our Consti-
tuition preventing thickly settled district
having its due proportion of representatives
because it has not the exact area. 1t has
always been our opinion that sections hay
ing the ,cealh and people, without so nice a
regard to acreage, should if they chose to
do so, be permitted to organize themselves
into new counties. This is the only way
under our constitution by which represen-
tation can be increased Citizen.

Coal Trade Prospects.

The resumption of work in many
of our manufacturing establishments
which are heavy consumers of coal,
has given a renewed impetus to the
coal business of late. As compared
with the same period last year, we
may safely report that the condition
Of affairs is by no means discouraging,
but shows great Improvement. Con-
sumers being now convinced that the
"ruling powers mean to sustain the
programme as originally laid out, buy
with more confidence, and, we believe,
satisfaction. From this time until
the first of March, it is expected that
dealers will purchase lightly, or only
for immediate wants, and thus grad
ually work off their stock prior to the
Inauguration, in the spring, of new and
lower prices. This plan, thoroughly
followed up, cannot but place our re-
tail coal merchants on q substantial
financial footing, and at the same time
will leave them free to operate and
trade where it best suits their conve-
nience Coal and Iron Record.

Coal GAS BY A New METHOD
A practical means of obtaining coal
gas by method other than the de-
composition of coal, has long been a
desideratum and one has lately been
proposed by Mr.. Buck. which prom
Uses well. 1t depends on the decom-
position Of superheated steam, by
bringing it in contact with mixture
of coke and iron at q white heat.
The oxygen of the water combines
mostly with the iron, but in part
with the carbon producing, as gaseous
products, hydrogen, with a certain
percentage Of carbonic auhydrille.
This latter can be removed by action
Of lime, and gas is then left with
scarcely any Illuminating properties,
but with great heating powers. If
this is passed through petroleum of
specific gravity, 0.GS, the hydrocar-
bons there absorbed render its illu-
minating intensity equal to that of
ordinary coal gas, and there is no
tendency to the separation of its
components in the tubes in which it
is conducted.-Zond Journal.

The page of history, everywhere,
In every age and cline,
Portrays the deeds of war-like men,
As glorious brave, sublime!
And he. whose hands are deepest dyed
With human blood is claimed
To be the greatest hero yea,
His every deed is famcG
lie marshals round him men as brave
As ever pressed the sod;
Yet in whose wild, ambitious souls,
There dwells no thought of God
"Thou shalt not kill :" they heed it not
Its memory fades away
As foe meets foe and lays him low
Amid the battles fray.
What though the world applauds them;
Their victory is for nought
Their glory, quickly growing dim,
Is all too dearly bought.
Their bands must fall asunder,
Their works, revealed, must stand
In Gods pure light, and prove to be
Built only on the sand
Not so this nobler union
OF spirits high, and brave;
| Who in one common cause 30 forth,
Earth's crring ones to save.
| They gather from all quarters;
Their standard is the same;
lone common Father over all
We conquer in his name -
No martial pomp or splendor
Is theirs; nor earthly show,
Their quiet battles fought and won
The world may never know.
| How many IN erring brother
| Is saved from sin and strife;
How many footstep turned from death
| To walk the path of life.
Fight on, We noble soldiers =
Brave warriors of the cross -
| To win this glorious victory,
Count all things else but dross!
Go forth into the byways,
Where souls are stepped in sin;
And to purer, better life,
! Compel them to come inf'
And as We labor lowly,
Trusting in God alone,
Know that He smileth on you,
And claims you for His own.
Know that when time is ended,
Amid the final shock,
Your works shall stand the test, for they
DIRE built up0n tie Rock!

To Gus ADAMS: You are hereby
notified that the Central LAID Com
pany of West Virginia will charge
and hold you responsible for the use
Of the wharf 1t Huntington, w. Va,
for selling coal, Five dollars (S5 900
per day, from the time your boat was

notice.

Mr.. Adams has for some days past
been supplying the citizens CT this
city with coal, at ) cents per bushel
less thar the resident dealers, and all
the people of the city were putting
in their supply of winter coal, or
might do SO, at reduced rates, but the
notice as above threatened to cut off
Mr.. Adams as dealer; S. 90 per
day was more than be could pay for
wharf reut, and is just $500 per day
more than is charged at Cincinnati,
it is not necessary to allege that the
price sought to be charged is out
rlgcous, that is selfevideut. but there
is involved 10 this matter, that which
concerns all our citizens When COl.
Emmons was "in.eryieweu" by
Adams, the Col. pleaded 10 exteuua-
ton that he adams WAS selling
coal too cheap, aod that Messrs Green
aud Edwards, the other coal dealers
could not rford to C npete With
Adams, I'D al that he (Col. Em-
mons) wanted, was to equAiizs the
coal trade. Now what we want tG
know is, Nhetber we are in the pow
er of this Land Co., to this ex'ent OF
not? IF they ire empowered t.
"equrliz 3" in this matter, they arr
in all others, every trade may b'
, moncpoIized. The citizens of Hunt
ington are only asked to pay three
cents per bushel extra for coal now
but little thing as it may seem, /
