The RECENT Coal SvEsTIdArIoY.-
The joint committee fthc Legislature,
appointed to investigate the affairs OF
the Pbil'a Il Reading Railroad Ccmpa-
ny, and the Philadelphia Coal Il Iron
Company, held their final meeting at
the Girard House, in Philadelphia a
few days since. After lengthy do
liberation report to the Legislature
was agreed upon, II is understood
that the report will represented to the
Legislature in January noxt, and will
set forth that the constitutionalty of
the net Of Assembly which incorporated
the Pbira 4 Reading Iron and Coal
Co. is one which should bo decided by
the Courts, and not by Committee Of
the Legislature and they therefore
recommend that the evidence taken in
the case be submitted TO tho Attorney
General for his examination, he being
the proper INV officer TO institute pro.
cccdings against the corporation, should
the facts warrant such action. The
committee condemn thepolicy by which
such n charter has been granted BY
the Legislature, but think that rs all
other anthracite coal companies of the
State bqd those powers granted them,
thorc was no good reason Why they
should DO withheld from tho Reading

GRANT ALL Everybody
knows that Tom Murphy, Grants Col.
lector at the Port of New York, three
years ago made Grant a present of q
$4,000 Cottage at Long Branch, New
Jersey, where "the government" spends
the Summer. That Grant is getting
ready to forsalSe Long Branch and
turn his cottage into cash we need but
refer TO the fact that on the 18th Of
October last two mortgages were re.
corded in the County Clerks Office in
Freehold, Monmouth county, n. ].
They were given by Ulysses s. Grant
and Julia ID. Grant, his wife, to VIM.
B. Dinsmore, as President of Adams
Express Company, and were drawn
for the sum OF $4,000 each. Look at
the shrcwdness of the gift taker." In
one year from this the property will
not be worth the $4,000. Grant has
got the cash in his pocket and he will
never pay the mortgages.

1t appears that the government

sioner Of Internal Revenue, in which
the operations OF the ST. Louis Ring
were fully exposed, the names of its
leaders being given without conceal
