The Mine Flooded.

WmKsBARRE, May 7.-At eleven
o'clock last night an explosion of
gas in the Stanton shaft of the
Leigh & Wilksbarre Coal Com

gan. At midnight while the men were
brushing out the accumulation Of
the gas in the lower vein it came in
contact with a blower" caus-
ing a terrific explosion. A large
force of men were driving in the tun-
mel at the time, and eight of them
were badly burned, a majority thought
fatelly. The mine was set on fire and
soon six hundred feet Of sold coal was
burning furiously. To extinguish the
flames the mine had to be flooded.

WASHINGTON.
An Important Bill Concerning Ma.
tiOnal Bank Reserves.
Findings in the Stanley Trial.

WASHINGTON, May THE sub
committee of the house committee on
banking and currency, considering the
bill introduced by Bucker on the Dist
ultimo, requiring the reserves of the
National Banking Associations to be
kept in standard gold and silver coins
in lieu of lawful money, to-day re-
ported as a substitute a bill
amendatory of section 5191, of revised
statutes so that the National Banking
Associations inseyeral cities, enumer-
ated in said section, shall hereafter be
required, in lieu of lawful money, to
have on hand at all times, in standard
gold and silver coins, or in coin GER
tifcates, at least two-fifths of twenty
five per cent, of the aggregate amount
of its notes in circulation and de-
posits, and that every other National
Banking Association not mentioned
in section 5l91 shall have on hand in
said coins three-ffths of fifteen
per cent, of aggregate deposits.
1t is provided further, that neither
clearinghouse certificates nor bal
ances called for in section 5l92 shall
be counted or deemed any portion of
the coin reserve required by this act.
The substitute was agreed to by the
fullcOmmittee. Mr.. Launsberry, of the
committee, when the measure is taken
up for consideration in the house will
offer an amendment extending to none
Of the enumerated banks the right to
keep coin certificates.
The record and findings of the
court martial of Colonel Stanley have

A WASHINGTON special says: 1t
used to be the custom for the depart
ment of agriculture to publish semi
monthly crop statements procured
from all over the country. LeDuc,
the present commissioner, has stopped
these publications to invest the money
which their compilation had absorbed
in experiments on tea culture and the
like. AS consequence, there is much
complaint being made, because the
crop reports were of some value, az is
shown by the efforts of newspapers in
collecting the same information.
Members of congress within the past
week have been demonstrating with
LeDuc, and he now promises that he
will shortly revive the former custom
of the department.

A BILL was introduced in the house
Of congress yesterday to provide for
the admission of Utah into the Union
as a State. At that very hour perhaps
an immense procession paraded the
streets of Salt Lake City in honor Of
a cOntumacious witness who refused
to disclose the peculiar marriage GER
emony of the bigamous Mormon
church. The territory of Utah has
not the population that would entitle
it to admission to the Union and
the case would be all the worse
if it had. The more the population Of
the predominant kind out there the
more obnoxious a petition to be ad-
mitted into the confederacy of States.
The institution of polygamy is obnox-
ious to all our ideas of decency,
morality and civilization. 1t will
have to be wiped from the face of the
earth before Utah can come into the
Union, and then it ought 20 be a pro-
bationary arrangement.

THE colored convention which met
at Nashville yesterday is one of the
most important of the kind that has
been held for years The call origi-
mated some months ago in Washing
ton. The leaders Of the movement
disolaim having any political purpose
in view, but it will be surprising If the
proceedings do not take political
turn before it is over. 1t is a singular
fact that NO delegates are admitted
except those holding invitations. This
makes it in one sense a packed con-
vention, though it May be all the bet
ter and more intelligent for that The
Davidson county colored people held
meeting not long since and elected
sixty colored people. These were re
fused admission on the floor, which
created much feeling and con-
fusion outside. 1t was finally
agreed to admit thirty, but the
Tennesseeans refused to accept such a
com promise and denounced the con
ference as packed for political purr
poses. Representatives are in atteB
dance from Mississippi, Kentucky,
Arkansas, Missouri, South Caroline,
Georgia, Virginia, District of Colum-
bia, Texas, Indiana, Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Ohio, Oregon, NebPQska,
Louisiana and Alabama. Piuchbaek,
of Louisiana, called the convention to
order and John r. Lynch, Of Missis-
sippi, was chosen as permanent chair
man. The exodus from the South is
not likely to receive much encourage
ment. The sensible advice Of Fred
Douglass and Senator Bruce seems to
have had some weight. The conven-
tion is held in the house of represen-
tatives. rendered for that purpose by
: resolution of the late legislature.

PARIS, May 7.-Lepere, minister of

abolish nearly all penalties for press

a severe punishment for defamation of
character.
LONDON, May I'm the house of
lords last night the Prince of Wales
presented the petition of 1858 Norfolk
farmers in favor of the bill legaliziug
marriage with deceased wives sisters.
The prince said he believed the meas
ure would be of great advantage to
the community at large and he would
support it. Lord Houghton (Liberal)
moved second reading of the bill.
The government, represented by Lord
Crancrack, strongly opposed it and a
second reading was defeated by vote
of 101 to 81.
The Prince of Wales, the Duke of
Edinburgh and the Bishop Of Ripon
voted with the minority, and fourteen
of the bishops voted with the ma
jority.
In the House of Commons de-
claratory resolution was introduced by
Farrar Herschee (Liberal) in favor of
abolishing the action for breach of
promise Of marriage, except in cases
where actual pecuniary loss has been
incurred by reason of promise, which
was carried by vote-yeas, 1O6; nays,

A GOOD pistol law is sadly needed
in the wicked StateOf Ohio. Itappears
that all the good and great men have
gone to Washington to hold office or
have emigrated or been terrorized
into silence by the lawless elements of
society A reign of terror prevails in
many districts, which if not put down
must soon lead to an exodus more
appalling than that now reported in
the South. Every paper we see from
that State contains accounts of bru-
tal murders and often of other crimes
almost too heinous to be printed in a
decent newspaper Our Democratic
congress ought to inquire into this
state Of affairs and ascertain whether
Ohio has republican form Of govern
,uent, or indeed, any government at
all We of the South, unused to deeds
of violence, read such reports with
pain and surprise. Are we, as a
