eral of the Louisiana State National Guard,

against it, and the House adjourned to

The following resolutions We're

The following resolutions were
adopted: -...
1, That we invite all persons, ire
spective Of party, creed or color, who
have honorable occupations, to join
us.
3. We believe that all classes OF
society are dependent upon others,
but that the laboring class constitutes
the foundation Of society; therefore
we call upon all classes of society to
aid us in lettering the condition OF
that class upon which all other classes
depend.
3. We are opposed to the National
Bank system, believing that to the
government of the United States be-
longs the right to issue and control
all monies used by the people,
whether it consists of paper or metal,
and it bear the stamp of the same.
4. That all officers from Il road
supervisor, to the President of the
United States, inclusive, shall be cleo
ted by direct vote of the people.
5. We are opposed to class legisla-
ton, ring rule, chartered monopo-
lies, land grants, subsidies, unjust or
unequal taxation.
6. That we favor such legislation
as will protect the workingmen of
our own country; therefore we de-
mand protective tariff.
7. That all railroads be under the
control of the Government, and we
demand uniform rates of freight upon
all traffic.
s. That we favor universal educa-
ton, and that the educational insti-
tutlons of the country be common.
8. That we favor such legislation
as will make greenbacks worth as
much as gold.
Fellow Workingmen, let US do our
duty. Let us make the politicians
of both parties see and feel that we
are still free men. Let every man
work for justice and right, and vic
tory shat be ours. Standing still is
childish folly, going backward is a
crime onward keep the march of
time.

Pennsylvania Coal Trade.

The Philadelphia Ledger contains
the following in its financial article:
There is little in the movement of
the anthracite coal trade for the past
week calling for special comment.
The production is quite large and the
demand fair, under the presumption
that the prices of coal will not be
lower this season. The coal tonnage
of the Reading Railroad Company
Tor tho week ending on the 9th inst.
was $1,000 tons, of which 100000 tons
went to Port Richmond, from which
point $4,000 tons were shipped. The
Reading Coal and Iron Company
produced the same week $1,000 tons.
These figures are something lower
than for the previous week, and is
IN some measure accounted for by
breaks in the railway tracks by the
storm of Thursday last, which inter-
rupted traffic to the extent of some
10000 or 10000 tons. No damage
whatever was done to the company's
canal, and the railroad is now in Its
usual good working order. The lie
high Valley Railroad is now fully at
work, and its business for the month
of September nets over four hundred
thousand dollars, very considerable
increase on the net of corresponding
month last year. Theoutlook ofthis
company is most encouraging. The
Lehigh Navigation Company has
also started its business under a good
supply of orders, at fairly remuner-
ative prices. Though the company
was claimed Of on the issuing of its
last circular, as having fixed prices
too low, it is now discovered that
they are about up to the market.
There are rumors that the Scranton
and Pittston companies will shortly
resume work.

The Resignation of Col Sharp.


Col. Thomas r. Sharp, master of
transportation of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, was yesterday elected
president of the Long Island New
York railroad, and left Baltimore
last night to accept the position.
RumOrs of the resignation of Col.
Sharp have been rife in railroad
circles ever since the ending of the
great strinke two months ago. State
ments to that effect have several
times been made in the newspapers
and some ten days since the Bulletin
stated the fact upon what was con-
sidered undoubted authority, but
Col. Sharp positively denied then
that he intended to resign, and so
informed a representative of this
paper. His denial was authoritative
ly made through the Associated
Press.
The reasons that have Induced
Col. Sharp to make change are un.
derstood to be founded in the fact
that the employees of the company
took great dislike to him, because
they were under the impression that
he was responsible for the reductions
that were made in their wages from
time to time. This was probably an
error. Col. Sharp, as master of trans
portation, was the official through
whom all orders relating to the en-
ployment of the men were given,
though the orders themselves did
not emanate from him.
Col. Sharp is railroad man OF
much experience, and is held in high
estimation as askillful manager. Mr..
VIM. NJ. Clements, lately appointed
assistant master of transportation, it
is expected, will be appointed in his
place. Col. Sharp will resign and
leave for New York permanently
about the 10Th of this month-Balti-
more Bulletin, 9TH.

OAKLAND, ND, Oct. 10th, 1877.

OAKLAND, MD, Oct. 10th, 1877.
MIR. EDITOR lis it not time for
the taxpayers and property holders
of Oakland to take some steps toward
procuring some protection against
fire? In two instances not widely
apart as to date, the larger portion of
the town has been saved by what
almost seems as a direct interpOsiti0n
of Providence in holding the winds"
while cOnflagration was eating out
the heart of our town. 1t is univer-
sally conceded by every one that had
the slightest breeze famed the fire Of
the morning of the Bird inst, that
nothing could have saved any con-
siderable portion of our town from
destruction.
1t seems to me that if our people
who are principally interested in this
matter would move toward procur-
ing some sort OF an apparatus, that
it would meet universal approval
and support, and we hope our ener-
getic Burgess will at once call meet
ing of our citizens to consider this
subject. .....
A medium sized hand engine
could be had at cost of from 400 to
600 dollars, and it would be elfectual
in staying the course of any confla-
grafton that might be started in our
midst. The amount could be raised,
we think, by subscriptions on the
part of our nonresident property
holders, by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad company, who would hardly
refuse tothus protect their own in
terests, and by a subscription of the
Burgess for the corporation, which
subscription could be paid from the
taxes, say of this and the two follow
ing years. If the town could legally
issue bond for the costs, we suppose
there would be no. difficulty in pro.
curing the machine at once. 1t is
cle4r, that UhdteUer obstacles are in
the way of procuring such an appa-
ratus, our citizens should remove
them at once, and no longer invite
the destruction of their homes by al
lowing them to remain any longer
without some means of protection
from the "fire fiend."
Is not this subject too important to
neglect, or postpone a day longer?
