Review of Gov, John G Browns
Administration.

The election Is now over and we can
examine public affairs with calmness
and impartiality. During the recent
canvass the administration of the
State Government, under John G.
Brown, was severely criticised, not
only by the Radical candidates, but
by some who were considered mem
bers of the Democratic party, from
whom a different course might have
beenexpected. We have ia
ken occasion, since the election, to
give this matter a thorough investiga-
ton, with a view of arriving at the
truth, and of ascertaining whether
these complaints and fault-fndings
were we'll founded, or whether they
were the result either of want of in
or of a mere prejudice,
growing out of personal rivalry, or
Of political antaonnisHa-- TT is duo to
the truth of history that an unvarnish-
ed statement of facts, drawn from Of
fetal sources which cannot be denied
or doubted, should be published, not
with a view of beneftting John G.
Brown as an individual, but for the
purpose of vindicating the Democrat
ic party, which on two occasions, in
assembled, endorsed that
When Gov. Brown was inaugura-
ted in 1871, he found the State bur-
dened with a heavy debt, caused by
the mlsmanagement of State affairs by
the Radical party from 1868 to 1863.
Never had there been more reckless
mismanagement of State finances than
during Gov. Brownlow's administra-
tion. 1t is not our purpo ensure
Gov. BrownlOw, others srhaps
more to be blamed than - :.
The author and promulgatOr of the
oath, which deprived
citizens of Tennessee of the right of
voting, and thereby created a Govern
ment not representing the people, is
as much to be blamed as Gov. Brown
low, if not more. Gov. Brownlow's
administration had peculiar difficult
ties to contend with, and the great er-
ror of those times was in disfranchis-
ing the people of Tennessee, and pre-
venting them from having a voice in
tho GOyprDment

RAILROADS BEFORE THIS WAR.


The railroads which had been built
before the war, during the admins
trations of Governors johnson and
Harris, with the appreciation of both
of the old political parties, and which
had received n considerable Smount
of State aid, were, by the fortunes of
war, very much injured and deeply
involved. What had been ample Sc
curity before the war was now in ma
nv instances worthless. Something
had TO be done. These railroad loans
had received the sanction of all par
ties previous to the war, and the bonds
had been properly and legally issued.
Gov. johnson, in his Inaugural ad-
dress in October, 1858, said .'The sub
| ject OF Internal improvements by our
| local authorities has also excited q
deep and lively interest among our
people in many portions Of the State.
\ well regulated system of Internal
improvements, Intended and caleula-
ted to give all reasonable facilities to
the mechanical, agricultural and COM
mercial pursuits of the country, ought
! to receive such aid as will come clear
| " within the financial ability of the
people. II such aid has to be given
by the creation Of State Indebtedness,
the Legislature which creates the
debt should never fail to provide the
means to meet the annually accruing
interest and principal as they fall
due"
Again, III his message Dec. 10Th.
| 1853, he said: "a we'll regulated sys-
tenn of Internal improvements would
seem TO indicate that the leading and
most prominent works of improve
ment intended, and calculated to con-
meet the three grand divisions of the
State, should be first selected and
| completed. Such other works should
then be undertaken, as experience
| and the interest of the country might
suggest. 1t should be the primary
7 object of the General Assembly tc
| bind the State together, from Garter
to Shelby, by railroads and other i'm
proyements, which would secure the
| great end, IN making us one and the
| same people, III agriculture, commerce
and mechanics.
A system like this, connecting with
other roads beyond the limits of the
| State, would seem to accomplish the
object of the Constitution. The sys.
tenn should always be so regulated as
not 10 involve the State in heavy liza,
bilities beyond what can at all time:
be met when they fall due by the
Treasury with promptness, without
having to resort to heavy and burden,
some taxes upon the great mass Of the
people"
What was here suggested by Gov
johnson, is exactly what was done BY
Gov. Brown and the last Legislature
In order to prevent burdensOme tax,
alton upon the great mass of the peo
pIe TO meet the bonds and coupons
which we're due, they obtained an ex
tension of time, so that the debt:
might be paid with the increased
wealth OF the country, when they
might fall due without burdensome
taxation. The General Assembly,
then in session, passed a bill in accor,
dance with Gov. JOhnson's recon,
mendations.

Coal Trade,
In the coal trade for the past eek
there has been no change of features,
dulness prevailing in all its departments.
The chief business That is doing is in
the city and line trade, and that is ofalim
tied character. The attention of dealers
is very much absorbed by the probable
future of the trade involved in the basis
of wages for 1875, the rates for trans
portation and the programme of the as
sociatel companies The impression is
very general with the trade that it is Of
paramount importance to all the inter-
ests concerned that all should be made
lower. On the subject of prices the
Miners Journal of Saturday says;-
Should any attempt be made by the
companies to maintain pre- ent prices
next year the association would be rent
asunder,in spite of all the efforts to sus-
tain 1t. And If 1t should be broken up
there is nothing to prevent coal from
falling to SO ton, and where would be
llS MllGlo dlu lIdupitlo DtuCNOlSub
Association associations and organi-
cations can do great deal in rising
markets, but they become powerless
when the state of the country Is such
that prices must fall until checked by
more enlightened legislation in the in
terests of production.
Yet it is believed that the miners will
resist any reduction of the basis of
wages from that of this year, and will
quit work on the I'd of January. At the
present time this policy would not be
ohjecti tionable TO the companies, for two
or three months cessation from work
and mining would deplete the accumu-
lated stocks and enable them to open
the next years business under better
auspices.
The supply sent from all the regions
for the week was 230, 943 tons anthra-
cite, and 81 ,6O5 bituminous; for the
week, 291, ,750 tons, against 272, $50 for
the corresponding week last year; in
crease for the week, IS, $50 TONS.
The whole supply sent from all the
regions this year is 81, ,14S, ,6O2 tons, a
gainst 81 ,020, Gel to corresponding per.
iod last year; decrease, 777,079 tons, OF
which 900, 1919 tons are anthracite.

Coal Men i'm Council.

The coal operators of the Lehigh,
Upper Lehigh, Wyoming, and ljac ent
anthracite fields have met of consider
the fixing of the basis of wages of the
miners for 1875, At the meeting were
Ario Pardee, Charles Parrish, President
of the great Iehigh and Wilkesharre e
Coal and Iron Company, S. Van Wick
lie, Nathan Willis, DR., G.. B. Linder-
man, Eckley b. Coke, 4. l.. Mumper,
l. II. Swoyer, A Pardee, Jr., E B, Ely,
Judge Hamburger, A. b. Cox, and L..
q. Hayden. The conference was held
with closed doors, but sufficient was
told to show that the basis of next year
is to be reduced, and that a general
strike, is inevitable. No positive ac-
ton was adopted, but the general senti.
ment was for lower basis, There is
gene Tal demand that the price of coal
of all grades be reduced at least fifty
cents ton, but the operator, contend
that ii decrease is made there will be
no profit left. The miners agree that
the present wages are sufficiently low,
and they will resist any a temptst low
ering them by stopping work. Between
10, 900 and 90, 900 men will join in the
threatened strike. There is a strong
probability of a strike among the iron
workers of the Lehigh and Schuylkill
valleys against a reduction of wages,
which goes into effect Jan. /.

Shamonkin, Dec. 20.-Yesterday
morning as the engineer of the break
er at the Hickory Swamp coliery was
entering the engine room he discovered
the body of Frederick Hesser, the night
watchman, with his head beaten out of
Reorganization. The body was quite cold,
the deed having been committed during
the night. Search was made of the
premises and a hatchet and hickory
club were found in the engine room.
Blood was fonnd on these weapons.
Hesser was a very popular and amiable
man, and it is believed that he had no
enemies. He was recently elected to
the Office of coroner. He was Al years
of age, and leaves large family. There
is as yet not the slightest clue to the
guilty parties.

Burglary at Lansford.

On Friday night of last week, the
Wilkes. Barre Coal Co.'S safe was rob-
bed, under the following circumstances:
The robbers gained an entrance to the
cellar through window, and came up
the cellar way and knotk ked at the door.
The watchman supposing it to be one of
the men who sleep in the ofliae-there
being two who sleep there-opened the
door aud admitted them, when one i'm
mediately put pistol to his head and
demanded silence. They then tried keys
to open the vault, from large bunch
they carried, and the third key opened
it. They then looked at the number of
the safe, and then chose the key, and
the first one tried opened it. They eX-
pected to find the money with which the
Company were to pay the men at Nes-
quehoning and Audo uried---they having
not paid them yet, bat the paymaster
had taken all this money to Mauch
Chunk the evening before. When the
robbers fonud they had missed this,
they showed their disappointment and
chagrin by volumes of oaths.
The Company's loss is between SO, =
600 and $1,000. Mr.. w. D. Zehmer,
Sup't,, had in the safe a considerable
sum, mostly in bonds, which were all
taken.
