The kanawha Goal Trade

and the Importance to which the
trade in West Virginia Goals my be
developed in New York, we quote the
following from the Engineering and
Mining Journal, the most reliable
trade journal published IN the Uni
ted States:
1T has long been 4 matter Of sur
prise that our excellent domestic hi
luminous Goals have 50 limited u
sale in this city, and that they have
not driven foreign Goals from this
market. The reason is not hIrt to
find, and the remedy is in the hands
OF the miners and shippers of the
coal.
eve note for example that Ka>
nawha splint, one of the best and
most satisfactory crate Gals that
could be desired, sells here, whole
sale, 10y the cargo, ut S6.50 per ton
of 2.240 pounds, while it retails at
So per ton of 1000 pounds, 4 dit,
ference of 1920 or l59 per cent, by
way of commission, for handling
the coal. This outrageous charge
has for effect to make our bitumi-
nous coals an article of luxury, and
% greatly hinder the development of
the trade.
~ few dealers have the entire
retail trade of bituminou5 coal, in
their hands, and instead of seeking
10 extend the H>e Of American coal,
by selling it at a fair price, say 81
to IS a ton, at which price it would
drive foreign coal from this market,
they seem to be anxious to keep the
price Of American coal ut such a
figure Is will enable them to keep
an exceedingly lucrative, though
small, business in foreign clal.
LET some OF our West Nirgi-
MA mining companies the Cannelton,
or CoalbHrg. for example, or the Red
Bank, Pennsylyania) Company, e.
tabliSh retail yards here, and sell
their coal at reasonable prices, and
the consumption of American GOALS
will increase enormously, and 1t will
render the importation OF foreign
coal impossible"
"The Kanawha Region Of ". Va.
has furnished 4 fair amount of excel
lent coal during the year, but here
also the lack Of capital, and the dis
appointment from the non fulfill
ment of neutrality-suspicious., have
retarded the development of the fn-
est coal field in America.
The kmawha, including the
New River field under this title
though burthened with heavy freight
charges, Is likely to Become one OF
the chief sources OF supply for first
class house and gas Goals, and it>
hard spInt stands handling and ex-
posture, and l. consequently better
adapted for export than any of our
other bitumiuouS Goals. The Mana
wha Camel /, certainly the best ar
ticle of the kind in this country
The Siraightencd financial condition
Of the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
road has also tended to restrict the
development of this magnificent
field.
The improvement in the naviga-
ton of the kauawha will give great
er facilities for the Western business
of the field. The iran works on the
line OF the G. n O. Il. t.. have not,
as vet. greatly increased the demand
for the excellent coke which, it is
well known, some of the Goals from
this region make

THE BONDED DEBT.
senator Chalmers Resolution

WHEREAS, After reducing the current
oxnanses for 1876 1886, 600 below the
Radical expenditures OF 1919, IL VIII
REQUIRE about $500, 900 to pay the neces-
sary expenses of the State Government;
and
WHEREAS, The shrinkage in value of
the taxable property of the State is such
that the present rate of four mills tax tor
State purposes would only produce about
1921 900 !; and
WHEREAS, 1t will require about $43S,-
900 additional TO pay the interest and
the bonded debt that will mature on the
lst of January, 1877; and
WHEREAS, This indebtedness was
forced upon us by Radical misrule; and
WHEREAS, Mississippi had no foreign
credit and has no foreign creditors and
WHEREAS, 1t is impossible to reduce
the present rate of taxation and pay this
debt; therefore, be it
Resolved, by the Senate, the House
concurring, 1st, That We must have an
extension of time on our bonded debt,
and that we trust to cur patriotic citizens
who hold our bonds, for indulgence In
the payment of the same.
Resolved, I'd, That while we cannot
pay our bonded debt now maturing,
without continuing the present grievous
rate of taxation, we can easily pay both
debt and interest if extended over ten
years.
RESOLVED, Sd, That the Committee on
Finance be instructed to report bill Tor
refunding the bonded debt and all un-
Cancelled warrants issued before the lst
of January. 1876, into bonds payable in
ten years, commencing on the LIST OF
January, 1877, and paying one-tenth
then and one-tenth yearly thereafter,
with eight per cent. interest, to be paid
semi-annually, and that no ,appropria-
ton shall be made this year except for
the current expenses of the State, and
the interest on our bonded debt and one
tenth of the principal, as above provided.

The following is an extract from the
circular dated Liverpool, February 10Th,
OF Messrs. w. c. Watts & Co:
1t may be taken for granted that at
anything like present prices American
cotton will be rapidly absorbed. The
decline In manufactured articles has not
been so severe as in the raw material
and as producers are now making good
prohts, we can easily realize the tempta-
ton TO keep all available machinery
going. 30 far as Europe is concerned
we may therefore assume that ccrsumn.
ton is likely to keep in full swing for
some tme to come. and the capacity of
the world to take off the production will.
at prices now ruling, be very elastic.
The excess reproductions in the United
states for the year 1875, over the pre-
ceedlng year, at last accounts, was 1876
900 bales.

What is Said.

The following are among the rumors
afoat at Washington involving the rep
utations of prominent officials under
the Administration /: That the Chief
Clerk of the War Department may pos
sibly be discovered to have been interest
ed through either a brother or near
friends in the same business. A thor
ough examination of the manner in which
the contingent fund of the Department
has been disbursed under Secretary Bel
knap's administration might also result in
some very interesting disclosures. Large
sums, it is said, have been paid to Gen.
Belknap during the last five or six years for
travelling expenses, which could not be
explained on the assumption that all the
Journeys were taken for the transaction
of public business. Other scandals, it is
said, will be disclosed similar to those
which were instrumental iii causing the
defeat of Acknowledgement Williams,
when nominated by the President to be
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
Gen. Belknap's carriage-driver and two
other persons, principally employed as
footmen and porters in Gen. Belknap's
house, are said to have been paid out OF
the public funds of the War Depart

Meridian Mercury.
In the vote in the Senate, on Monday,
on the Davis Impeachment case, Abel
bert Ames may read his own doom. In
the case of Davis, the bribery business
was attempted to be covered up from the
beginning; and while there was moral
certainty of guilt, on account of the care
fulness with which the tracks had been
covered up by the case, as made out by the
evidence, was technically weak. La the
case of Ames, his assumptions of unau-
thorized powers were taken boldly, know
ingly, and, necessarily, openly in the
sight of all men. AT the time that he
was defyiug the laws and usurping pow
ers that belonged to other departments of
the Government, the Senate which late
ly gave the decisive vote on Davis guilt
will understand that his guilt is worthy
OF deeper damnation because he reck
oned upon immunity from continuance
in power of corrupt party upheld and
sustained by brute force from without.
1t would not be surprising if the four
negro Senators who voted for Davis,
doubtless from the color of his skin.
should vote by the color of his skin on
Ames. From all correct differences. his
case is hopeless.
