THE Doc QUESTION.

| To the Editor Of the National Republican,:
SIR: Two weeks ago ga Tour with the
Poundmaster" was laid before the readers Of
THE REPUBLICAN in q most graphic style,
The Board of Health had again, after grave
consultation, come to another "deinite con.
clusion"-the first ''defirite conclusion" having
been arrived at about the time of its organiza-
ton, three years ago--as to the fate OF the
canine race.
A month ago the board announced, by ordi-
nance, that dogs must be- kept muzzled from
June 15to October Is. OF course, the suprem-
acy of the law must be asserted and made
manifest to all concerned. Accordingly amid
"one grand flourish" of display sort o.
s'fuss and feathers''-it was proclaimed that
the poundmaster and his men had commenced
the work of catching and impounding all un-
muzzled dogs found running at large on the
streets and avenues of Washington. Was 1t
TO be done in Pickwickian sensei The -four
ish of trumpets has died upon the air, and
"nary'' note heralding the poundmaster
again on further expedition against unmuz-
zled dogs has been heard. The expectations OF
rare sport on the part of little children and big
children has suddenly collapsed. Why is it
thusl That horse-alas, that poor horse; as
if sensitive and ashamed of the jolly business
in which he was employed, or endorsed and
=
the wells of the rabble crowd following his
wake and enjoying the fun, is dope tor, Us the
following sad announcement, made at meet
ing OF the Board of Health, on Friday evening
last, Goth instant, too truly shows. So, ''if
YOU have tears, prepare to shed them noww
Behold the extract: "The health officer was
granted permission to employ horse In the
pound service for few days, in order to give
the animal owned by the board rest, he having
been overworked."
think this trifing with and ieopardizing the
lives of populous city is a proceeding which
demands serious attention. If we are TO have
enacted in our midst the terrible scenes wit
messed in New York, on the occasion of the
horrible death of Mr.. Mccormick, by hydro
phohia, and any one of our people should fall
q victim TO that horrible maladJ through q
neglect Of duty on the part of the Board of
Health, or any other authority whose duty 1t
may be TO look after the safety and protection
of the citizen, assert that they should each
and every one Of them be held legally respoD-
sible.
The latest intelligence from New York is that
five children have been bitten by dogs supposed
to be mad.
After all the discussion and parade and
mahe-believe importance Of the catching and
impounding of dogs, II now appears that the
Board of Health have had but one horse en-
rfoycd IN that service, and that horse having
now become overworked, as they state, they
actually propose to employ another horse for
''s few days" in order to give the aforesaid
horse a rest.
Why talk about hiring horse for q feR
days. Whese's tine sssyosS Jus appropriated

The only Hdefnite conclusion" to be arrived
at is TO shoot the dogs wherever found unmuz-
zled. J.R.

THE SENATE ON ooE4asoa sAEr.


tPhnadsiphia City Iten.I
This grave body did not confirm the nomina-
ton by the President Of Governor Shepherd.
Il was laid on the table, and the President, to
avoid delay, withdrew the Nomination and
offered the name of ex-senator Cattell, Of New
Jersey.
This action Of the Senate Is not consistent,
to say the least, with their knowledge of the
malicious press that to-day considers not Sen
stor honest or upright, nor Representative
any better. 30 persistent has this portion Of
the press been In circulating bssely false re-
ports Of Congressman, Senators and others,
that the Senate has seen ct to impose such re-
straints IS viii make the.principals responsible
for the Islander through their agents. No other
man, except, perhaps, General Grant, has been
abused snd yilifed Ike Governor Shepherd,
yet no man than he deserves better credit for
the ability with which he has worked in the
interest Of the District of Columbia
But the Senate, appearing 10 dote as its ex-
piration drew nigh, and IN order to paeify the
very press It affected to despise and restrain,
trined With the name of Governor Shepherd,
instead Of yindicating It By prompt confrma-
ton, thus giving succor to the enemy, indi-
recsly furnishing food to the scandal tnongers
and fresh license for abuse and caIumny. This
In effect win be the action Of the Senate. still
IL cannot alter the fact of Governor Shepherds
ability and equal blamelessness of life and in
tegrity Of character with any Senator's In
Congress.

A FENALE LOBBYIST.

Miss Sarita NJ. Brady, of the Igter- Ocean,
describes female lobbyist and her method of
doing business, in recent letter to that jour
nal:
The hauhss of the genuine female lobbyist
that traditionary enchantress so prominent in
washington romances-are the luxurious re-
cesses of fke,Marble room. Those Of her Tx
less adroit are satisfied with more public places,
but not she. I had occasion to stay in that
partof the Capitol for an hour or so this ses-
sion, and saw very interesting little scene
take place. A lady dressed in WILLOWS mourn
ing so irrepfoachable that It's very perfection
was suspicious, appeared In the reception room
with an ill-favored, carelessly dressed man,
and after q short conference they separated
She then sent for very well-known Senator.
Him she received In q truly subdued spirit,
rather In contrast 10 the indifference which she
had manifested at her first appearance. Upon
his departure her companion, who had been
invisible during-the interview, reappeared, and
Q consultation ensued, the apparent result of
which was another summons TO another Sen

Then she successfully enacted, with as many
different Senators, the business woman Who
could use law terms, the unsophistieated soil
tary creature as helpless as young bird, aud
the bereayed widow, second time-this last
with tears She had the fifth Senator in her
net when left. Such character as that was
worth investigating, and she turned out to be

the wife Of rebel general, and since In the
same capacity 70 "a man whose name is familiar
in the history of those times. Since his death
she has gone into the lobbying business, and
from all accounts she has met with deserved
success. She rarely shows herself in public,
prefsrring, with true woman's tact, to work
covertly, She lives retiredly. 10 all outward
appearances, in an sristocratic part of the city,

trusive establishment is that the carriages OF
some rather prominent gentlemen occasionally
stand for hours before her door.

THE PENNSYLTzEIA coAL TRADE.

THE PENNSYLRzNLA COAL TRADE.
Tne Thiladelphia Ledger of yesterday says
1.-THE totalof anthracite marketed for the week
ending on the Goth instant amounted to 49,, 9se
tons, and for the coal year $500, 4s4 tons,
against 9, AZ, 746 tons to corresponding time
last year, being decrease of 1853, 662 tons.
The bituminous tonnage for the week is a, s92
tons, and for the year 1 ,410, $50 tons, against
,s67, 24S tons to. same time last year, giving
q total Of all kinds for the week Of sos, ss1
tons, and for the year of e,719 ,97o tons against
9,SS9, $50 tons to same time last year, being
q decrease Of 12o,019 tons. At Port Rich
mond for the week ending the 27th instant,
the receipts Of coal were s., 900 tons, the ship
ments 6o,0oo tons, leaving 900 tons on
hand. Freights are now quoted at 81 80 to
S1.70 to Providence, $40 TO- $50 to Bos-
ton, and e5 cents to New York The coal
and coke tonnage of the Pennsylvania rail-
road last week was 20, 143 tons, and for the
year 2,s50,oS5. OF anthracite and bitumin-
Gus there were 1,209, POI tons, and of coke
~, s9S tons. This includes the tonnage
Of coal both east and west. The coal
trade for the past week Is without special fea-
ture. It is little slack, as usual at this par
ticular juncture of the coal season, but the
policy governing the trade, as regards produc-
ten and prices, is continued unbroken, and
there is no reason to doubt that e will be con-
tinued to the end of the year. The prices of
coal viii be monthly advanced, whatever the
market demand may be, and due care will be
taken that the production shall keep up to the
demand while it will not be permitted to much,
If any, exceed it. As an evidence that there Is
full supply Of coal in the market the last
monthly public sale of Scranton coal at New
York was limited to the meapra arnount of
twenty-five thousand tons, and production is
being lessened in nearly all the regions. Il is
probably fair estimate to put down the coal
production for July full Fifty per cent. The
very large amount of unemployed cash capital
on the market, and more to come, inspires the
hope of an early revival of general business,
and whit increased activity in coal and iron."
