THE PRESIDENTS ORDER AGAIN

We are glad to see 50 clear headed paper
as the New York Sun supporting the views OF
the MORNING APPEAL upon the President
order to Federal Office holders
Mr. Horace White Western journalist
contributes to the columns of our esteemed
contemporary, the Times, and to the political
literature of the day, long letter on Mr..
Hayess order to ofiiceholders. 1t purports
to be an answer to the previous cOmmunica-
ton of the brave Gen Francis C. Barlow,
once left on the field of battle for dead
though we should not know from the letter
itself that it WAS in reply to him if it did not
say so. Mr. White seems to have written
before he had collected his thoughts the
subject-a very bad order of arrangement in
English composition.
Mr. White makes two points III favor of
Mr.. Hayess order
l. at required act of Congress to give it validity
II. at was within the competency ofhe Executive alone
carry il into effect
Unhappily for him, Mr.. White is grossly
in error on these points. To reverse the two
in answering them
III. The President can no more carry his
order into effect than he can take up the
earth in one hand and sling it over his
shoulder. How is he going to carry it into
effect He hears of Federal officer, man
who like Gen. Barlow has risked and nearly
sacrificed his life in the service of his country,
IA man of intelligence and character, going in
the evening, after the hours of business are
over, to a caucus and taking an active part in
the proceedings. Mr.. Hayes says to him
You have violated my civil service rules;
will you please resign 7" ''No sir, replies
the officer; "who made you my conscience
keeper, the ruler of my hours of leisure
fought for my country; now | wish to serve
her not less essentially by the maintenance of
free republican principles. | will not resign
The cause is then adjourned to the Senate. ;,
Does Mr. White suppose that an American
Senate will ever sustain a President in a
tyrannical attempt to deprive an American
citizen of one of his most sacred rights and
dearest privileges, the right of q freeman to
participate in public affairs, at caucus, |
or any political organization
l. So far from enforcing the order without |
the aid of Congress, he could not enforce it |
with the aid of Congress If Congress were to |
pass a thousand acts to carry this order into |
effect, they would all be unconstitutional and |
void. Congress has no power in the premises. |
Congress does not possess authority under the
Constitution to enslave freemen; and by |
virtue of some of the amendments to that |
a white man, although he holds |
q Federal office, is guaranteed the same rights
IF citizenship which now belongs to every
negro.

THE AMERICAN JEREMY DIDDLER

Before the mental processes became hard
ened, what splendid, side-spitting treat 1t
was to see brace of such actors as Fred Kent
and old Bill Barry do Robert Macaire and
Jaques Strop; and when one got behind the
other and poking his arms through, toward
the audience, did the gestures, the hat-re-
moving, the stomach slapping and like dem
constructions while the front man did the talk
ing, We all screamed with a laughter which
was past all suppression. Now fancy the
burlv bean-eat who does the Washington
correspondence of the Boston Herald stepping
TO the footlights, while Rutherford the Good,
from the rear performs the necessary motions.
Says the Herald man: Ladies' and Gentle
men The President is conscious that he has
only desired to do right" there a wave of
Rutherfords left hand(, land has only done
right" (Here comes in jabby sort of move
mcnt toward the speakers heart " He does
not seek d second term" there the head of
the speaker bends its nose to receive the up
rendered handkerchief of the White House
pantomimist) she has no friends to reward
or enemies to punish (here hesitating, un-
certain, paralytic-like movement of the hands,
as if their owner were at loss how to express
TINS tremendous avowaD, land intends to adj
minister good government by appointing hon
est, efficient and capable men to office!
Spoken with very loud tone of voice and a
final rousing slap on the bread -basket.)

fellow who sits in the White House, loftily
superior to every useful man in the Repubh
can party, the prince of hypocrites and the
Lord of emssculatlon, PIRATES and prattles in
the public ear. The Northwest Territory
coded to the government of the United States
by the State of Virginia, was peopled by i'm
migrants from two widely separate parts of
the country. New England poured in such
men as Cass and Ben Wade while Virginia
sent her Pendletons and Hayeses. What's
born in the bone is bred in the flesh and
Ben Wade, all things being even, is for Mas
sachusetts as against South Carolina while
Hayes, on the other hand, things being on q
turning point between Nationality and State
sovereignty, leans toward the teachings OF
his ancestors of the Old Dominion. This
leaning taken in connection with his Worm
ley bargains, accounts for his virulent dislike
of the Republican leaders; but the canting
phrase of the man is his own and wells up
from breast as fall of the milk of godliness
as that of his model, counterpart and exem-
plar, Josiah Bounderby of Coketown. BY

the sake Of vsntilations openings are
occasionally made from the water
heading to the heading which is used
for drawing coal out; and as often as
we make one of these openings, we
lay branch through from the main
road heading, and draw the coal from
the water heading up into that and
out through that heading.
We then take up the tracks in the
water heading between this new OPEN
ing and the last one that was made,
and use it in driving the water head
ing on towards another opening. Be-
tween the line of the roof that we or
dinarily mine to, and the roof rock
which ovsrlies the whole vein of coal,
is a distance of from six to seven
feet, and the material which occupies
that space is highly stratifsd, and
consists of veins Of coal and slate. It
has not been found practicable to sep
arate this coal cleanly enough from
the slate to make it a marketable ar
ticle. The whole mass is so highly
stratifed that it would not be safe to
work in the mine, in'a room fifteen
feet wide, without having some props
to prevent this mass of slate and coal
below the roof rock and above the
line Of the roof that we mine coal to,
from falling upon the men and OBJ
structing the road. We set line Of
props running from the floor of tho
mine to the roof that We may mine to.
up through the centre of each room,
as the mining progresses. These
props are sticks of round timber or
logs, from FIVE to seven inches in di-
ameter, about three feet apart; and on
top Of the props we put cap between
it and the roof, which cap is a piece
of split wood about two feet long and
five or six inches wide, and two or
three inches thick, in order that the
bearing may be distributed over q
larger surface than the top Of the
props would cover.
The railroad in the room occupies
the space between one side of the
room and the row of props. Between
the row of props and the other side of
the room the impure matter that is
taken out in mining is deposited. This
deposit the miners call "the gob."
Notwithstanding all this propping,
we sometimes have large masses of the
stratifed coal and slate, which lie i'm
mediatly above the line to which we
mine coal, fall from the roof into the
rooms.
The headings in which the perma-
nent railroads are laid are made as
narrow as they can be, and have room
enough to conveniently use the rail-
road.
Experience has shown that this
width should be about eight feet. The
object Of having it as narrow as we
can is to be as free as possible from the
danger of falls of the loof upon the
road these falls occasionally occur in
spite of all the care that can be *
ercised.
When a fall does occur on a
road, the material has either to be
run out of the mine or up on to the
"gob piles" in some of the rooms. be-
fore the mine road can be used at
that point for bringing out coal.
