THE COAL DEALERS are advancing prices
on the strength of the troubles i'm the mining
districts OF Pennsylvania. but as warm
weather is approaching, il is only the manu-
factories, steamboat and railroad people that.
Will feel the pressure. A leading dealer ex-
pressed the conviction on change this morn

DRAW Two SALARIEs.--A case interesting
To- officehollers was decided in the Court OF
Claims yesterday. Thomas II. Talbot sued
To recover salary at the rate of 5000 q year
as clerk in the office of the Attorney Gen
eral from August l., 1868, TO Sept. 30th of the
same year. During that period the claimant
was clerk in the internal revenue depart
ment, duly appointed, and received his pay
as such. CHIEF Justice Drake delivered the
opinion. saying the question was controlled
by prOviso in the first section Of the Civil
ard diplomatic act of Sept 80 1850 in the
following words That hereafter the proper
Of Seer 81 s or Other
allow any pay to one individual of the sal
aries of two different offices on account of
having so performed the duties thereof at the
same time" The intention of the act seems
clearly to be the prohibition of the payment
OF two salaries 10 the same person for the
same period OF time. If the government sees
mt to confer two offices upon one person, he
may accept both and perform the duties of
both but with the knowledge that by express
law he Is forbidden to receive more than the
salary for one.
