HAVANA, Jan. 7.-Advices from Port au

Ex-Chief Maceo melted other Cuban emigrants
living in Port au Prince to hostile demonstra-
tions against the Spanish consulate and
Spanish war steamers in Port. The populace
became excited and attacked the consulate.
The government of President Solomon made
every effort to ;disperse the mob. The police
found Maceo hidden in a private house and
the mob then dispersed. Owing to the hostile
attitude of the Spanish war steamers the
government gave the consul every satisfaction,
promising to Danish all Cubans not registered
at the Spanish consulate and also offering to
deliver up Maceo and his brother, but it is
supposed they have already escaped from st,

Especial to the PressJ
AUGUSTA, Jan THE 59th Legislature as
sembled to-day and the proceedings that took
place constitute black chapter in the States
annals. The story of the conspiracy to seize
the Legislature, capture the State government
and the electoral vote is familiar to your
readers. From the very inception of the plot
every kind Of dishonest means has been re-
sorted to by the arch conspirators to accom-
pljsh their base purpose. To-day the plot cul-
minated and the climax of disgrace and injury
in the story of fraud was reached.
The morning opened bright and glorious
and the heavy mantle Of snow that draped the
ground glistened like silvery sheen At an
early hour crowds of people began vending
their way to the Capitoline Hill and long be-
fore the hour arrived for the Legislature to
convene the rotunda OF the State House was
packed with mass Of surging humanity. All
the avenues of approach to the halls of legis
lation were packed with human beings and it
was with difficulty that members elect were
able to push their way to the doors OF the
House and Senate and effect an entrance.
Men were posted at the doors of the House
and Senate to prevent the crowd from rushing
in and taking possession. After members
elect and those contesting or claiming seats
with representatives of the press were ad-
mitted, admission was given to State officers,
members of the Legislature of 1878, ex-gover-
nors judges of the courts, members of Con-
gress, United States officers and others, which
fairly tested the capacity of the halls of legis-
lation. The galleries in both chambers were
jammed to repleton with spectators. The alb
sence of ladies was noticeable. The House
was the theatre of interest.
House
AT about twenty-five minutes of ten draw
ing of seats commenced which occupied nearly
| an hour. AS Mr.. Gibbs, the assistant clerk,
announced the names of members they would
| respond and then advance to the Clerks desk
and get their supply of stationery. At twenty
minutes of eleven o'clock the assistant clerk
brought the gavel down and called the House
to order. A brief prayer was then offered by
Rev. Mr.. Wales of Biddeford one of the mem
bers elect. The assistant clerk then proceeded
to read the official roll of members elect as
furnished by the Secretary of State.
AS each name- was called members responded
"Here." When the name of Thomas B.
Swan was called aud he responded there was
a suppressed murmur Of contempt. Swan is
the man who has placed his name on the roll
of ignominious fame by pretending to have
been paid bribe of $1,000 to resign his seat
After the calling Of the roll was completed the
clerk contrary to the usual custom failed to

Garfield's Nomination.

New YORK. Dec. Tho Cincinnati En-

scheming. The people would not permit the
nomination of any one else.
The Cincinnati Commercial believes it a
mistake in Garfeld's going to the Senate. 1t
thinks the next House will be Republican and
Garfield might be Speaker The leadership of
one party in the House is better than a second
ary place in the Senate. Garfield is the leader
of his party in the House. He cannot expect
to walk to the lead in the Senate, compared to
Blaine Conkling and others.
The Tribune says that Garfield's nomination
in Presidential light will be considered
handsome gain for Sherman.

Russia's Mysterious Movements-Atten-
tion Excited Throughout Europe.
LONDON, Jan. 9.-The Pesther Correspon-
denz, which according to Vienna despatch to
the News denies the reported movements of
the Russian army towards the Austrian from
tier, is not authority to justify the acceptance
of its contradiction of the detailed reports Of
Russian military preparations which come
from various points on the Austrian frontier.
Those reports are beginning to excite atten-
ton throughout Europe. A pamphlet has
just been issued by Berlin publisher, entitled
"The Fortifcations of the German-Russian
Frontier" wherein the defenceS of each
country are elaborately discussed and the
respective advantages of different plans of in
yasion on either side canvassed. The author
is evidently German military man, and the
appearance of such pamphlet under the pre-
sent circumstances is regarded in Berlin as
highly significant.

tenants in Dublin and other large towns.

Situation.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE Cologne Gazette re-
ferring to the speech Of Prince Hohenlohe,
the German Ambassador at Paris, on the
occasion of President Grevys reception to the
diplomatic representatives on New Years Day
declares that the peace of Europe is threatened
by Russia only, and Germany and Austria are
determined to hold Russia in check. The
article is remarkable for its violent and threa-
lening tone towards France and hostility to
Russia. It declares that Bismarck only au-
thorized Prince Hohenlohes speech in which
he expressed the cordial sentiments of Ger
many toward France. After De Freycinet.

While the committee were absent notifying
the Governor that the Senators were waiting
to take the oath, Mr.. Locke repeated his pro-

upon it, which was proper to do, he put the
motion himself to the Senate, and it was re-

The COnI Tradc.

We have little of interest to note in the
anthracite coal trade the past week. The
stock of coal holds up quite full, and, while
we hear of no decline in prices, there is not
enough of demand for coal to encourage the
hope ofan immediate advance. The weather
continues unusually warm for the season,
and this helps to choke the market. The
most favorable point of outlook for coal is
the general revival of business of all kinds.
That which stimulates other industries will
require more coal, and if there is a shortage
of production from any of the several causes
either that more coal will be required or that
the supply shall be lessened by "strikes" or
any of the mishaps common to the trade,
creating a scarcity, the prices of coal will
necessarily 60 up. Even already there is a
talk of coal suspension, and also of strike
at some of the mines, We do not think that
either of these is probable. Labor at the
mines is steady and quiet, and as to a coal
suspension there is a strong aversion by ope-
ratOrs,and especially operators in the Schuyl-
kill region. The running of work in the
mines is restricted as much as can well be
without the more serious loss from abandon
ment. None of the operators are working
out any more coal than they can well help,
thus eiIecting curtailment that, with the
slightly increased demand for coal that is
thought to have manifested itself within a
week, will bring the demand up to the sup
ply, render prices remunerative and the
trade buoyant. There is no reason to appre-
tive prices for the entire coal year of 1880.
The present apathy of the market will natur-
ally yield to the progress that carries all the
more active industries forward. That the
demand for iron in all its various shapes
and qualities will bold up coal prices for
some years in the future is quite probable.
The official report of the production of an
thracite for the year 1879 makes the total
quantity 2G,l42 $50 tons. From this report
it appears that the stock of coal on hand al
the tidewater shipping points December 5lst
1878, ,377 tons, and on December 3lst
1877, 65S,l 1856 tons. Some calcuators esti.
mate the production for 1880 at 2s or 30 mil.
lion tonsl II the production only reaches
the quantity produced last year, with an adj
vance Of dollar on last years prices the
trade will have reason to rejoice. Forcing
coal upon an unwilling market is not thl
way to effect the desired rcsult.-Ledqer
Monday.
For the week ending on the oath inst
there were shipped over the Lehigh Valley
railroad 2,l69 tons of coal, making tota
for the season of 6l7,O95 tons, showing al
increase on the business, TO same time las
year of l73,3s0 tons.
-7s,679 tons of coal were shipped owe
the Lehigh and Susquehanna railroad 70
the week ending on the 23d inst, total o
2l7 ,672 tons for the season, an increase o
s5,2Sl tons as compared with same dat
