EXIT THE Coal RiNG,-Our prediction
are realized. The arrogant and oppres-
sive com mbination went to pieces yester-
day. At a meeting Of the managers of
the Ring companies in this city it was
resolved to dissolve. This welcome fail
ure CT one Of the worst monopolies e1em-
plifies again the possibility of keeping
the members of ring true to their
agreements. When six or eight compa-
MES get together for no better purpose
than 10 fleece the public, we may be
sure, that sooner or later. one or more Of
the number will break the bargain.
This has been the matter with the coal
corporations. Now that they have fall
len out, the coal consumers will, we
trust, get their dues in the cheaper
prices that ought to prevail. We do not
venture to guess how long the rupture
of the coal companies will last, to be sue
ceeded by another ring-and another
grand explosion That the experiment
will be repeated sometime there is hard
ly doubt.-Journdl of Commerce.

SOMEBODY IS VERY INDUsTRIoUsLY AT
WORK sending out information about the
failure OF the silk crop in Italy, China and
Japan. Four seperate circulars to that
effect have been received at this office,
two of them being on manifold paper, in
the same handwriting, and all Of them
anonymous. These specimens of litera-
ture are very emphatic in warning all
readers that, in consequence of the al
legged failure of the crop, silk goods are
certain to 60 up in price, and that ladies
must hurry up their purchasers, &C., &c.
All this may be so, but .here are several
circumstances about the matter calcula-
ted to excite suspicion. 1t is rather sur
prising that the silk worms should stop
spinning simultaneously in counties so
widely distant from each other as IJaly,
China and Japan; and then the sudden
ness and assiduity with which the circu-
lars are distributed look-just a little
perhaps-as If some one in the trade has
large stock Of silk goods for which an
market .is wanted.-Ledgr.

tremity to which that paper is driven to
find objections to Mr., McMeneman's s con.
duct as chairman of the Street Commit

tirely the object of improvement. This
is the first time in the history of our city
when the paving of a street by contract
that had never been paved before, and
which is in dirty condition in the cen.
tre OF the city, has been termed an ''in-
'quity." We have always thought such
work was necessary as sanitary measures,
ont IN this case it is necessary for utility

How Long Is this Government to be
Governed by the Army!


The government of the United States
is supposed to be Republic governed by
the votes of the people of the States
But in fact it has been governed to a
great extent b5 the army duiing the last
fifteen years.
When shall the people again assume
their right to self-government? Shall
it be in November or four years thereaf-
teri This is question that must be SOL
we'd within about ninetydays. The Com
Inander-iu-C Chief of the Army and Navy
is undoubtedly opposed to the people
ruling themselves, and he has ordered
the army to be held in readiness, and for
warded by all possible dispatch to the
States where the mos: service can be rem
dered the political party of which ne is
the head.
The army is paid by taxes drawn from
the people, and yet it is to be used to de-
feat their wishes. This sort OF self-gov-
ernment is shame, and one out of which
Grant and his fellows have made and are
making large fortunes. If they spend
t'aeir fortunes in high living and in frol-
licking about the countryand claim higher
salaries now than heretofore, it is only
what the same party has done several
times Before, and thus they clearly prove
that they are not for the people; that
they, hold themselves above the people,
and have the impudence to declare that
they cannot live on what genteel people
do. That it is necessary to 60 beyond
all that is taught by the frugal, the pioui
and the gentle, and make their dupe:
believe that those who swear, who gel
drunk; who nightly dance and carouse
who never offer up a prayer, and rarely
go to church, except simply to show how
much more gaudy they can dress, are
better than those who are honestly la
boring at some productive calling.
Take Gaant and Morton and ] ohm Sher
man for sample. Do they do any bet
tor now than before their salaries wer,
raised? Grant got rich and had his SON
and daughter reared in splendor ant
married to wealthy companions; he ais,
enriched all his relatives and friends
and then he is voted $50 900 year Ha
It resulted in giving any benefit to tn
kepubhc9 Not a bit of it; it has served /.
make Se an IN old man treat With more disdai,
than ever the voice of the people-it ha
enabled him more fully to disregard tn
SWORN duties of his high ONCE, and mad
him more willing to issue such an edic
as his last to the Secretary of War. t
use the army to put aside the ballots @
the people and to carry the election b
intimidation, by force and ty fraud.
Is there any sense in making richie
sach men as Morton and Sherman, tn
latter already millionaire, and yet thi
IS gust what has been done by taxing tn
Door voters, and this tax is to be raise
still higher by the use of the army. Whe
Will this stop7 We answer when til
people cease to be fools.
