COAL.--The embargo laid upon the
Schuylkill coal region, last week, still
continues. Only four out of Il total of 40
Golfers controlled BY the Philadelphia and
Reading company are now working, oper-
ations at the remainder having been sus-
pended since the 18th One collery at St.
Clair and three in the Mahanoy region,
all belonging to the Philadelphia and Read
ing coal and iron company, the alter ego
Of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad
company, continue working to supply coal
for the use of the road and for furnaces
along the line, and six others, it is under
stood, will resume soon, for the reason
that because of their situation, or other in
huencing circumstances, the company can
not very well ignore them while supplying
cars to those of its own cOllieries which
continue running. The reason for this
action on the part of the Reading railroad
company is stated to be Il, follows: The
production Of anthracite coal being con-
trolled by five or six large companies.
these companies regulate the mining, ship
ment and sales to suit themselves. Under
this agreement and combination each COM
pany is allowed to ship Il certain proper
ton of the entire tonnage of each month.
and no more. The Reading company
found that it was carrying more than its
quota for August, and hence its agreement
with the other companies compelled it to
step; and, as it was not bound to give II
reason for its conduct, it did not give any,
save the . lack of demand for coal, which
is probably true enough The suspension,
it is UNDERSTOOD will continue till Sept. |.
bat it is alleged will not affect prices, nor.
very seriously, the amount of coal offered
in market Both these matters are reeu-
ulated by the - combination which has
fixed the prices for this year, and there
will be quite coal enough mined to meet
the demand Prices, this year, are a little
higher than they were last year. but will
not reach 81 n ton advance, even in De
cember, when they will be highest. the
policy of the " combination y beingto raise
prices gradually, every month, beginning
with the opening of the season in March.
This is for the purpose of equalizing ship
ments throughout the wear. so rs to keep
the trade regular, and is especially to the
advantage of the carrying companies.
which thus are saved from carving over
Il large amount of dead rolling-stock from
one busy season to the next, but have req
ular use for I'LL their cars 1t is also ad-
vantageous to those consumers whose cash
and coal-bins are equal to the task of Law
ing in winter coal early.

joyce will be elected bv the usual MAORI

Joyce will be elected by the usual MAORI
ty, not because the Republicans of the dis
trict believe that it is the best thing for
them to do, but because it is the fashion
generally to vote what is called the regu-
lar ticket. Yet at all the caucuses which
sent delegates to the convention there
were probably not more than 1900 voters.
If 800 of these were in favor of Col Joyce,
and that is liberal estimate,-that
eight hundred have designated the mem
Der of Congress who is to represent a con-
stituency of 10000 voters. We agree that
those who didn't attend the caucuses,-
when they knew of them-have no reason
to complain, but is the baldest assumption
to talk of such caucuses representing the
people. They don't do it, or if they do it
is only by accident. What they do repre-
sent is the interested individuals who have
attended them; and it is idle to pretend
that they represent any one else. Some
day it will happen that caucuses and con-
ventions will be arranged differently, and
will more exactly reflect the real wishes
of the voters. If not, the voters will be
obliged to take into their own hands the
only remedy left them, and vote without
respect to the action of bodies really repre-
senting onlya few persons who think inf
nitely more of private, personal and local
interests than of the public good.

The Congressional Canvass.

A recent article in the Rutland Globe in
respect to the Congressional canvass in
this district justifies us in calling attention
once more to this subject. The Globe
says:

Both of these canvasses and conventions were bitter
Of Which coud be so Is When the nomns
ton was made there was end of contest an union
of the party.
1t is enough to say of this statement in
the Globe that it is incorrect in many
particulars, only one of which there is
need to speak of now. Mr.. WILLARD's
nomination four years ago was not ac-
quiesced in even by all who took part in
the convention, and any writer for Il Rut-
land paper ought to know it was not. A
bolt having its origin in the town of Rut-
land was then made, and one of the most
prominent of the recent Joyce delegates
from that town was conspicuous in it, and
the Herald aided it. There were about
100 boiling republican votes at the
September election, of which the town of
Rutland contributed 264 while casting only
203 votes for Mr.. WILLARD. Vergennes,
Middlebury and Bennington were the
other most conspicuous towns in that bolt,
as they and Rutland have now been in
bringing forward Col. Joyce and making
it possible for him to be nominated. 1t is
hardly worth while for the Globe to pre-
tend to forget these facts as they are quite
too recent to drop Out of the memory of
any one who has lived in the district four
years. That the bolt did not succeed was
not the fault Of the men who engineered
it; and they were generally the same per-
sons who are now the especial champions
of the candidate nominated at Middleburv.
The writer for the Globe must be very
young editor, OF very recent importation
into the state, not to know these facts: and
in any event he ought not to undertake to
write history unless he has knowledge of
and disposition to adhere to the truth

LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
THE CITY.
MI X M HIS,
"Wednesday Evening. Oct. IA, 1874.


MEMPHIS THEATER. Last night Sam
son was again presented in most cred
table manner by Mr.. Charles Pope and
members of the St. Louis Olympic
Theater Stock Company. The company
is well balanced, and has been selected
with care, Last night as Samson ="
MI. Pope was very effective and dra-
matte, indeed, he gave most pleasing
rendition OF the part, and received that
applause which he merited. The play
itself, although well translated and
adapted, is of that character known as
biblical or miracle plays, which have not
as yet become familiar to American
audiences, and in all probability
these plays never will secure
attention and become popular.
Even the Shaksperean plays have TO
some extent become wearysome to Amer
lean audiences, because the language is
becoming quaint and old and is no longer
used in conversation. The management
Of the Memphis Theater have done every
thing in their power to present the plays
attractively, and last night the scenic
effect, especially in the last act was
charming and most appropriate. To-
night Mr.. Pope will appear as Belphegor
the Mountebank, a character which he is
said to present most acceptably to both
the public and the critics. Tie cast is
quite good: Guillaume, or Belphegor,"
Charles Pope; Lavarennes," Harry
Moreland; "D'Arpignol," Mr.. Stock
we'll; Monthazon," Mr.. Dean; DE
Castel Blangy," Mr.. Pendleton; Made
line," Miss Lille; Warehouses Yer.
mandois," Miss c. Champion; etc. Bel
phegor will be repeated tomorrow night,
and on Friday night Samson will be the
attraction, instead of Much Ado About
Nothing, as advertised.

Facts worth KNOWING

During recent trial or comparison oil
ordinary Baking Powders in New York
with DooLEY's YEAST POWDER, it was
shown conslusively that better results
were attained with from onehalf to two
thirds the quantity of the latter than
with any other in market. The secret
of the success lies in the care with which
DOoLEY's YEAST POWDER is prepared,
and its entire freedom from substances
that are injurious to the system.
We challenge comparison at any and
all times. The verdict of the consumer
is always in our favor For sale by all

firemen might open them speedily.
8. That in all cities with a population
of 100000 inhabitants and upwards, the
mains should not be less than II inches

EXCHANGE QUOTATIONS -
AMERICAN CLASSIFICATION

The car load OF cotton, consisting OF
40 bales, shipped direct from Jefferson,
Texas, was received this morning by the
old and well-established cotton factors,
Messrs. Clark, Johnson & Co., and i'm
mediately put on the market and sold to
Mr.. Carver at l4ic-a good price.
Messrs. Clark, johnson & Co., in making
sale, represented the true interest of the
shipper, Mr.. Rogers. The staple was
good, and brought price above the
market. Mr. Carver, who represents the
firm of Mr.. John Leecb & Co., in Liver
pool, with promptness skipped the 40
bales to their house, getting a bill of
lading signed through at low rates on
account OF the above.
