PHILADELPHIA, August 24-Tht
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company issued notice to-day, that all
of their outstanding contracts for coal
may be snnulled at the option of the
purchaser, thus giving all dealers u
chance to buy on the same footing.
An informal meeting Of the Coal EX.
change was held to-day, and II committee
appointed to wait on Mr.. Gowan
and ascertain the true policy he
means to adopt. No action was taken
in addition to this, except that it was de-
cided to call general meeting of the
Exchange "Wednesday, August 30. Or
ders were cent out to-day to stop work
at additional colheries, and it is quite
probable that by Saturday there will b.
large suspension of production.

Governor IN this state, opened the cam
paign to-day at Easton, this county,
where there WAS a grand barbecue, nj
which between 4 600 and 5000 people
were present. Abiding to the scandal in
circulation regarding his action towards
some ladies on board the steamer Addy
johnson, last July, Colonel PHELPS
said: at Is not my want or IN
clination to reply to the insinustiou.
Every candidate for public favor is sub
ject to charges of wrong doing from politi-
cal enemies. only consider it necessary
to say that any charges or insinuations
that l have insulted or maltreated
ladies are maliciouslv false. While
doubling the propriety of paying any
attention to my traducers, say this
much in defense of myself, my friends
AND, the truth. This is the first and shall be
