REsIGNArIoN OF GENERAL ECKERT.


LEAVING THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC To BECOME
PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN UNION TELE-
GRAPH COMPANY.
General Thomas +. Eckcrt has resigned the posi-
tion of president of the Atlantic and Pacific lele-
graph Company and the rcsigr alton has been ac-
cepted by the directors. General Eckert resigned
early i'm the Spring. but he was persuaded to with
draw his letter by the directors, who then refused
to accept his resignation. His successor has not
been appointed. but il is believed that Albert b.
Chandler at present secretary and one of the vice
presidents of the company, will be elected to the
vacant position
General Eckert's name has been connected with
the presidency of the American Union Telegraph
COMPANY and it has been known for several months
that he was wanted to assume the position when
the company should be ready for business. General
Eckert rs confes IDLY one of the most accomplished
telegraph managers now in service, either In this
country or abroad, and there can be no doubt that
whatever he undertakes will be skillfuly pushed.
President Bates, OF the American Union Company,
said yesterday that the published dispatch from
Chicago that the company had taken forcible pos
session of the lines of the Great Western Telegraph
COMPANY was incorrect. An order OF the Court had
directed that the liues he turned over by the West
ern Union Company 10 the receiver, and by him 10
the American Union Company. Under this order a
part of the lines had been surrendered by the re-
cever when the Western Union Company, which
had appealed to another Court, obtained an order
restraining his action.

The coal companies have been unable to agree
upon any plan for restricting production during
this month. President Sloan. of the Delaware.
Lackawanna and Western, refused 60 sign the
agreement for suspension from December - TO
January 5, but proposed instead that the companies
work their mines on reduced time. To this propo-
bition the officers of the Lehigh Valley Company
objected, and both plans have been abandoned
Several companies however, have consented to
partial restriction of the output. The Phla-
deinhIa and Reading, the New-Jcrsoy Gem
trail aud the Lehign and Wilkesbarre Com
panies, with their individual operators, have or
dered suspension of mining, according 10 the org
iua plan. Tic Pennsylvania Coal Company has
ordered a reduction of onc-third in the hours OF
work and the Delaware. Lackawann and West
ern a reduction of One-four;h. The Lchigh Valley
and the Delaware and Hudson Companies will con-
tiuue mining. with only such interruption as arc
incident TO the holiday season.

RANDOLPH.

Correspondence.
Mr. EDlrOx: BY inserting this short COM
munication in this weeks issue of your paper,
you will confer a favor both to me and the citi-
zens in general Of Randolph and vicinity.
About three weeks ago there appeared IN
Hall's Democrat q letter from one "YOrick."
who, in an indecent and insolent manner. tried
to insult the better class OF Randolph citizens.
by stating there was about 70 be opened in
Randolph hotel in the place formerly kept by
that prince of landlords. T. r. Gilman" 1t
Is q query In the minds OF honost. law-abiding
citizens. what inference is 10 be drawn from
such . title. But refrain from saying any
thing further in regard to the remaining party,
as delicacy forbids me, and to the people Of
Randolph 1t would be supernuous for me to
write such o history.
There Is still another query in the minds Of
some Of the citizens. and that il. who '' Yorick"
personates. and for their benefit l will merely
give his initials. which are H. D. smallcy. the
once tbut now no more) resident pecagogue.
and further known as the man who took from
the p. o. letters belonging to q certain young
lady: aye. even knowingly and villainously
opened and read the same, and then destroyed
them, and Afterwards was obliged to make q
confession Of 1t. He is the man who denies the
title Of ' Yorick." and. We say 1t to his credit.
that he has still sense OF honor left enough to
deny that he dares to stand mp like man. and
through that sheet. the Rep. DEM. the last re-
sort. talks about Aossssy, and about "severing
friends Of the ncrth," whose character for hon
esty he canEos defane. and who would blush to
stoop so low as to msddle with such contempti-
BILE Affairs he is guilty of. This ''Yorick"
tries to get out of the application in my last to
school teachers. and n . means Of SO doing, has
NO scrupies In shouldering It upon some one
else. and that. too. upon the one who has been
teaching for the past two years where Yor-
ick p" has used all the means In his power to
occupy the same position. refer to Mr.. Douth-
lit. whose character and success teacher Is
too we'll known In Randolph and throughout
the County, for further comment. As"Yorick"
failed TO become Principal OF the school. his
next aspiration. that Of being constable and as
. means he has crawled back into the old party
he boltcd In ~. As to "Yorick's" !" referring
to my spelling, L have little 70 add. If any
thing. would say, my aspirations were never
such as to induce me to sit up late At night,
assisting and prompting my wife in her ardu-
Gus task Of practicing "catch words'' that
would insure the dictionary as hers. That. at
least. has been the splendid coneplasancs of
f." Yorick," and in such civility his mind has no
doubt scared into the ENPERIAL regions Of re-
nown. C. sc.
