supsrabuadant supply, so little of this
hsalthful and comfortable fuel ever
reaches the hearthstoaes Of the tens
of thousands Of families Of Baltimore.
Among business and professional men
in Philadelphia, New York and Boston
Georges Creek coal is considered
great luxury and necessity, and is used
in hotels, homes and Offices, to consid-
cradle extent. The absence Of gas
found in anthracite and that is SO dss-
tructive to health, makes the Georges
Creek coal desirable, and the ability
to regulate, from . genial glow to
roaring, dancing, blaze, gives it q
charm over ell other coal.
VIM. M. Evarts, VIM. H. Aspinvall,
Allan Campbell, and other gentlemen
who compose, and are interested in
the Maryland coal fields, cannot posi-
bly, be aware of the fact that their
GOAL finds so poor q market in Balti-
more, thus dspriving US gifts benefits,
the worthy miner Of labor, and the
treasures Of the cosl companies Of
profit. Now can they be aware Of the
rsassn why? 1t is explained in the
fact, that while coal sells in Allegany
county for less than g. 90, here in Bal
timors we are charged. at retail, the
enormous price Of eight dollars a tom i!

OUR CORRESPONDENCE,
Georges Creek Coal in BaIti-
more-Liitie Consumed
and Why.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 8, 1871


Mr.. Edstes The brown month is
here with its changing leaves and fad
ing grasses the wind whispers of frost
and ice; the oricket's voice is hushed ::
and
Winter comes to rule the varied year"
Now our thoughts are turned to-
wards those of scanty means and pre-
carious employment in this city and
elsewhere, and the item of fuel, by no
means an unimportant one, claims a
large share Of attention. Most of tn.
wood used in Baltimore is brought
from $3.50 to $3.50 per cord oak
hickory from other counties and
also from Virginia, is brought in ves-
ssls at slight cost for freight and sells
the former at SO and 81 and the lat
ter at 50 and So per cord. Anthra-
cite coal comes from north eastern
Pennsylvania and sells at 1915 and
$3.50 per ton, not always Of scrupulous
weight.
Upon snquiring at the several coal
offices we learned that comparatively
little Georges Creek coal is used in
this city and the price, although the
coal fields Of Maryland are SO near,
and tho great coal road comes direct
to Baltimore, is almost prohibitory
quite SO to the poor and to those Of
moderate means.
It seems strange, indeed. that of the

Directions for Using
REIn'S IRISH BLEACHING SOAP.
Warranted not to LVure the Finest Eabr'c,
and h1s a tsRdanoy to Soften Hands,

CUT one-half pound of Soap into small
~ shavings, and dissolve in five gallons
of hot water, and then put in as many pie
ces of clothes as the solution will cover, let
them soak or 10 minutes; then little
hand rubbing will make them as clean as
hours Of hard machine rubbing would do
with ordinary Soap
When clothes are not much soiled, no
rubbing is required.
Wiring them out of the solution, then
treat them the same as though they had
been washed in the ordinary way.
When one lot of clothes is removed from
the solution, replace with another.
~ This Soap is warranted perfectly free
from anything injurious, and careful ana
lysis has proved that its ingredients cannot
lnjure the finest fabrics. 1t is also an ex-
cellent Shaving Soap. For cleaning Paint,
use sponge or cloth saturated with the
solution; 1t will leave the paint brigh. and
uniniured; the repeated use of it Oh painted
wood tends to make its glossy.
For removing Paint, Grease Spots, &c,
from Clothing, dip one end of the Soap in
hot water and rub on the soled spots; then
with linen towel and warm water, wash
the Soap off; if the spots are of long stand
ing, repeat the operation.
This Soap being very dry and pure does
not dissolve easily, but must be Thoroughly
Boiled in w"ter to make it dissolve
Mouselin de LANES, Cashmeres, Woolens,
Flannels, &c, are rendered soft and
smooth, but should not be boiled.
All fast celors are made bright and clear
with this soap. Dresses can be washed
without ripping.
P. S.-To get the full benefit of this
Soap, it should always he dissolved in boil,

And who cast the fraudulent negro votes
in SUSSEX So long as these fraudulent
votes were cast against the Democratic
Party all was lovely. But as liberty be-
gins again to preside at the election
polls, this cheating cannot be done there,
and the machinery is used against the
Doctors interest, in his own party,
against the head of his official Depart
ment-against Bristow. So tn : chicken,
"come home to roost."
Fortunately the Democrats in Della
ware will not tolerate negro association
our young yeomenry and mechanics
cannot endure the promiscuous presence,
nor tine vehement threats, grimaces and
s1or of the negro orators in the political
assemblies, and we re glad they are rid
of that vote. They are honest and declare
they will not vote nor associate with ne :
groes, and this being the case they will
not ask the negroes to vote with them.
Doctor Prettyman and the Ne'cs are
probably right, and it might cleanse the
the party very much, and it needs cleans
ing badly; if new convention was called.
Let it be done, it will show repentance
at least, and it is never too late even for
the most vile TO begin to forsake their
evil ways.

State Democratic Convention,

By order of the Democratic Executive
Committee of Delaware, a State Demo-
cratic Convention, composed of fifty live
delegates from each CO lnty, will be held
at Dover,
ON TUESDAY, JUNE 18TH. 1876,
at o'clock afternoon, for the purpose
of appointing six delegates, two from
each county, to the National Democratic
Convention, to assemble at st. Louis, on
the 9th day of June, 1876.
And it is requested,
That the Democratic voters of the sew
eral hundreds throughout the State meet,
at the regular places for holding such
meetings, on SATURDAY, the Sd day Of
June, 1876, at o'clock, afternoon and,
according to the rules of the Democratic
party in each county, appoint the num-
ber Of delegates to said State Convention
to which they are entitled respectively.
And it is also requested and urged,
That the best men, in all cases, be Sc
iected to said State Convention, that
they in turn may select the best men to
represent us at the National Convention,
10 the end that our candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President may not only
a men Of the highest character. morally
and politically, but that they may be en-
dorsed and presented to the country by
convention composed of such men.

The County Meeting.

The Democratic County Meeting on
Saturday, was well attended; and the
party was never organized with more
harmony or fairer prospects of success,
at any May meeting that we remember.
In a crowded hall where every man is
free to speak, and but few hours to ac-
complish the work in hand, it is difficult
to avoid confusion and there are so many
very excellent men, whose nervous tenn
permanent give their expressions the heat
and appearance of passion, that more or
less confusion is sure to prevail. This was
the case on Saturday; but there was nc
quarrel and should have been no offense
offered any one.
Objections have been made to the
rules of the party for twenty years, ant
two or three attempts have been mad,
to amend them, and two years ago thi
was accomplished but they were still
defective in several particulars. Oh
Saturday a very able and conservativ,
committee was appointed to effect thi
object. In this committee all opinion
seem to be represented by good and com
petent men, and it is hoped that the!
will group together such rules as will b,
applicable and be accepted by the Demo-
cracy of the whole county. As the rules
are to be adopted or rejected by ballot at
elections held in the several hundreds on
special day set apart therefore, OF
course all must acqaiesce in the result
Should the rules prove satisfactory and
be adopted by the party, it is hoped tina
thereafter 1t will be rid of this disturbiu
element, and our meetings will be con
Quoted with more decorum and les
haste, affording more time for deliber;
i've action

A Disturbing Element.

The negro element is becoming more
disturbing and boisterous every year.
So long as the Old Abolitionists in that
party, controlled them by threatening
them with reinstatement as the result
OF Democratic success, some show of har-
mony prevailed; but as the negroes dis
cover this to be lying political trick
they feel annoyed that they have been SO
blind as to be led like sheep all in one
direction in their own party-a party
which could do nothing without their
votes and now when they revolted in
this county and refused to be led by
the Old Abolitionists that have enioyed
all the offices since the war; that wing of
the party represented by DIR. John Pret-
tyman-the worst element of American
politics revelts and goes so far as to de
clare its opposition, and call for a new
State convention. The proposition an.
peared in the last issue of the Peninsula
Ners, of which the Collector of Internal
Revenue is editor. That paper says:
Since it has become to be well known
that the recent Repu blican State Con.
vention was carried by bribery and fraud
and that in consequence the party is tc
be misrepresented at Cincinnati, it has
been suggested that another Convention
be called and that, while pledging it,
members to the support of the nomine,
OF the party, it appoint a Committee ot
BIZ gentlemen to present the true wishe,
OF the party in this State to that Con
vention." 'A
What were termed Old Line Wings
have never had fair show in the Re
publican party in the Border States
They were always held under suspicion
and many of them we're compelled +,
abstain from vo.irg or go with the Demo
cratic Party. And singular to say tbi
was the case with the judiciary of tbi
State, with perhaps one exception.
Now,we have no doubt that much tina
the Milford Ne.cs says is true. We hay
no doubt that the late Republican Stat
Convention was Carried by bribery an
fraud" and that there were as it pr
viously stated 400 fraudulent negro yot,
