Coal in Ford County.

Coal Of very superior quality has been
discovered about nine miles moth of Dodge
City. The specimens brought into town
are rich in bitumenous property. and of a
dense specific gravity. The coal is report
ed to be underlying the magnetism rock.
In some places where the rocK is brought
to the surface the coal crops out immedi-
ately under the magnetism formation. and
is, as 1t were. part of the same forma-
ton. We suppose this phenomena TO be
owing to the action of water, as the face
of the whole country north of Dodge City
appears to hove been at some period the
subdivision Of a geological period-be-
tween that of the carboniferous age
and the permian age. characterized in
this part of the country by an inland sea,
or back-water from an immense body
produced by enormous deposits of drift
wood. The fossils and other representa-
tions Of cryptagon, ferns. ETC., in petri-
faction, would appear to indicate that the
representations here found were produced
by water GOV ering the face of the country
by some sudden cause, such AS large
river having been bloc ked up, and an area
of country submerged. The timber that
once covered that part of the country
having been destroyed by this back
water. After period Of time the impedi-
ment gave way and the country was left
free. Covered with sedimentary matter
comprising all of the disintegrated fibres
Of the original growth of hees, vines,
ferns. chryptogans, etc. Free bitumen is
found in many places, and the general
fossil representations OF rich coal deposits
are numerous. and NJ almost all points OF
the country specified.
Specimens of cinnabar were found upon
the upper tables on the rim of this pecu-
liar coal basin. There are many peculiar
tiles in common to an important region OF
mineral deposits, and fossil remains well
worthy the attention OF scientific expiora-
ton. These subjects will receive more
attention IN the near future, as parties
are preparing to prosecute a rigid examin-
alton into all the characteristics of this
important region, and reports of their
progress will appear In full in the columns
ot the Times.

W0MAN's RIGHTS.
A CblvalrOus yIndication at the Hands 0t

| A CblvalrOus yIndicatIon at the Hands O
Teut0nlc Judge.
A few weeks ago q suit was brought in ths
court Of worthy justice Of the peace in thit
CITY, and certain member Of the bar, whose
name IL is hardly necessary to mention, was en-
ployed for the defense.
After examining the case he came to the con
cusion that there was no defense to the action
and endeavored to so persuade bis client. Bu
the client was obstinate and fairly yearned for
fight, and the lawyer WAS not without resources
He came into court and asked the dismissal Of
the suit on the ground that the plaintiff had
been authorized by his wife to sue and stand in
Judgment. The exception came mp for argument
and trial without delay.
The defendants attorney urged his exception
with all the ardor of young licentiste, and with
the fervor Of strong and righteous conviction.
He sad that the day had bsen when woman was
the slave Of man. but happily that time had gone
and with 1t it's rude and barbarous customs. 1t
is the first glory OF modern civilization that
woman has been raised from her lowly estate.
The Christian religion had discarded the old pa
gan idealization Of masculine strength and sub
stituted in it's place % the ideal excellence the
gentleness of woman. II had substituted the
sanity for the heroic type.
The civil law, and especially the law OF Louisi-
ana, was most careful aud generous in protecting
ample which the whole American jurisprudence
was at length adopting. In this State ut least,
thanks to noble and enlightened system Of laws,
woman was in the eye Of the law the equal OF
man. II could not be doubted that woman
could not sue Or be sued without The aHtheFisa=
ton Of her husband, and it naturally follows, rs
day unto night, that the husband could not be
sued or sue without that OF his wife.
His honor was Teuton, and in compliment to
his nationality our attorney closed with compli-
ment to the noted gallantry Of the Germans,
which proved clincher. Said he: "We have,
your honor the testimony even Of Tacitus, the
old Roman historian, to reverence in wtach
the sex was held by your rude forefathers, even
in the days when they were but 'barbarians.
Your honor will be false to this noble and chival-
rous record at this late day, whom the spirit OF
religion, of civilization, the common sentiment
Of the people, TO whom you dispense even justice
and the whole tendency Of the law, all appeal to
you to sustain great principle OF human right. "
The attorneyiupon the other side endeavored
to reply. He argued, he csjoled, he laughed,
eneered got mad and quit.
''Show me the law" said his Honor. "Where
ia your authority"
He had no law to show not decision could
he find to controvert the argument Of his antag-
onist. SO the exception was sustained and the
case dismissed at plaintiffs costs, and the digni-
ty OF woman was indicated.

plaintiff sues for $500 damages for an illegal
seizure ordered by W. L.. Thompson, formerly
justice Of the peace at Algiers. 1t appears that

THE PASSES,

Capt. John Cowden has just returned from a
trip to the mouths Of the river On board the
lugger Lee. where he had gone for the purpose OF
making soundings. He reports that the wind
was so strong that he had to give up the project.
He says that he saw aground in the channel Of
South Pass, five hundred feet above the lower
end of the jetties, the Spanish ship Autratura,
drawing 20 feet inches, which had been delayed
there five days. When he passed her she was
under process of being lightened. She has since
crossed the etties, being aided by unusually high
tide. The captain reports twenty feet Of water

A POLICEMAN's BUDGET.

Yesterday one OF the officers in charge Of one
OF our police stations waited Administrator
Diamond with requsition for some supplies for
his station. The Administrator, who happened
to get off o Joke on the peeler. Assuming q
serious air, he spoke to him. "Sam,' he said
do you know that you have overdrawn yoor
budget2" The amazed policeman answered that
he did not. well, let me inform you further"
said the Administrator, "that your bondsmen are
responsible for the amount you have overdrawn."
Sam did not wait for any further explanation and
dashed out to see his bondtmen. Failing In his
object after an hours search he made another
dash for police headquarters, and finding the
clerk, stated his dilemma, asking him at the
same time to let him see 'his budget" 1t took
the clerk some time to understand the situation
but he finally consoled Sam with the informa ton
that captains Of precincts had no budgets"
