PATRICK, OF the Moundsville National
has clear idea Of the political situation
in West Virginia. Here is what he sayi
about 1t:
The political aspect OF the State is jus
now on taps, with considerable OF {
tendency toward climbing out OF hel
trouble. The Republican party is now
really organized again, and notwithstand
ing some Of its gushing followers, il hal
agood foundation for q future Of tempo
rary and eventually substantial success
May it drop It's lines in pleasant places
and may its standard ever be the bright,
est in the milky way.
Patrick seems to be u little alarmed
over the situation OF affairs at Washing
ton. On thispoint he expresses himself
thus:
The occasion in the death Of both the
presiding officers Of the Senate and House
Of Representatives, leaves the Congress:
Of the United States without any official
heads, also no one but the President hav.
ing fall power. This places Grant into
absolute control Of the Government, as
FAT as human mortality is concerned.

TURKEY.

vienna, August 24.-Servia's delay il
accepting the good offices offered by al
the Powers at England's initiative, is oc
casioned by the remonstrances OF Mon
tenegro, who fears being exposed TO the
whole Of the forces OF Turkey in the
event Of Servia concluding 4 separate
peace. A compromise has consequently
been arranged In accordance with which
Montenegro will cooperate. This ex'
plains the sudden march Of the Prince o.
Montenegro towards KolaSdjn, where he
will unite with the forces under his
brother.in.law, Vakonjes, with the in
tention OF attacking the works at Sienati'
"a in conjunction with the ServiTn force

tions. The Turks have received reinforce

EsAltuih AhAeAhkehSAs
There is q part Of the city called Nc
Coiloch street, formerly Fulton street
which does not seem 10 come under the
police department, for a "blue.coated
gentleman is scarcely ever seen in that
neighborhood. True, we have no saloons,
and hence inducements 70 visit this sub
urb are not very strong; but II, after all
1t Is subject to the police regulations OF
the city, can you inform us II on these
summer evenings, or any other evenings,
il is lawful for lot Of boys or men to
loaf about the second lamp.post on Nc.
Colloch street, from two to four hours
every night, and fill the air with coarse
laughter, ribald talk (every other word
Of whichis a Cd d-n), with halloo ing,
and sometimes with fighting, and with
other Objectionable proceedings? Is man
compelled to have such crowd before
his house for hours, and have the quiet
OF his family broken in by their misera-
BILE proceedings? Is he compelled to
have his family listento their everlasting
profanity? their yells, their coarse talk
and laughter? II there is no law against
such thing, what can person do? This
scandal has now been going on for years,
every spring and summer evening these
roughs are out. They gather daily, more
especially at the second lamp post, which
has become sort Of ofheadquarters. Will
not the city police be kind enough to pay
4 little attention to McColloch street ?
This thing has been borne long enough
and patiently enough, but We will see it
abated hereafter. McC.

An informal meeting Of the Coal Ex-

appointed to wait on Mr.. Gowan and as.

PRICES OF COAL
New York, August 24.-The Graphic
says that the representatives. Of the coal
companies that dissolved the compact,
state that their future action will be
guided by the prices named at the auc-
ton sale Of 500, 700 tons on Tuesday next.
Several thousand tons OF coal were sold
to-day on the basis Of next Tuesday's
sale. All sorts Of frumors are being cir.
culated. One OF these, which could be
traced 10 no reliable source, was to the
effect that Tuesdays sale would not take
place. Another was that the four COM
panies interested in the sale Of the Ave
hundred thousand tons would secure the
services of dummies TO prevent the
sale being made at too low a figure.
It Is generally conceded by the Company
officials that the reduction in price will
be about one dollar per ton. Alter Tues.
days sale the representatives OF the Le.
high region will meet to schedule their
prices on a basis, with the sale. The
managers OF the Companies state that It Is
their belief that there viii be another
combination, but not during the present
year, and that when tits formed it will
include all anthracite interests and not be
conducted on loose ends, as was the case
with the combination recently dissolved.
Meanwhile the individual operation Of
the Lehigh region will have to
succumb 70 the pressure, and finding
that they cannot conduct their bnsi-
ness under the rates that will be made
will either be obliged 10 60 into bankrupt
cy or remain idle until a more refayorable
aspect OF affairs Is presented. The gener.
al feeling In trade Is one Of uneasiness and
almost universal shutting down OF the
mines which Is creating Intense excite
ment. Not only will the mines suffer but
individual operators will also more or
less feel the pinch, while II Is scarcely
probable that the public will derive any
particular benefit. Appointment dealers
express their opinion that the price Of
coal will not be greatly reduced, but fair
Average rates ba anstain0d.

inc the iniquitous resumption act, for the
tn9,herance OF the financial reform pro-
Nospd in the St. Louis platform.
Radni, That the bonded Indebtedness
of The United States should not be In
crea.el T for the purpose Of paying of any
part 1.-The greenback notes.
Colonel Dan. johnson offered the fol-
lowing resolutions: ),
ReJOlrei, 1st. The retirement OF the
national bank currency and the substitu'
lion Of greenback legal tenders therefor
are demanded.
%. That silver coin shall be made
legal tender for the payment OF all debts,
public and private.
"A. That the rate OF interest on the
nublic debt shall be reduced 30 the in.-
dus,rial interests OF the country shall be
freed from the blasting exactions OF
moueyed monopolists.
We always knew that Col. Dan. John
son was gifted statesman, and the last
of hi. resolutions, Us given above, con.
vincingly proves it. All that is neeessa'
ry in order to lower the rate Of govern
mcnt iu,eresti is simply to pas8 plenty OF
resolutions that the rate "shall be re-
dnced." "Shau be" ia an imperative
phrase, and means business both in gram
mar and in finances. Hence nothing
could be more natural than rush for
our four per cent bonds, II only there
was mandatory expression 10 that effect
from numerous Democratic conventions.
Col. Dan Johnson ia old enough to
know that the very policy pursued by the
Democratic party has tended TO keep up
the rate OF interest on government bonds.
The constant threat OF that party to pay
off the debt in deprecated paper, and to
break down the public pledge Of Congress
as regards the volume OF Greenbacks, has
tended to cripple the efforts Of the gov
ernment to take up our six per cent bonds
with bonds bearing a lower rate Of inter.
est.
The Democratic party has cost this
country a vast sum Of money since tho
close Of the war by their persistent at
tacks on the public credit. Had we been
united people in regard 10 the necessity
of paying our obligations in perfect good
faith, there is no reason why all our debt
to-day should not be fundable in a four
per cent bond. The Billallen compaign
in Ohio Iast fall did great deal to injure
the public credit. The disposition of
IN. Democratic party as shown in tha,
campaign ia still latent, and i. is ready
