The Effect of Free Ceal. Representatives of the bituminous coal interests represent te the committee of ways and means that it will be very preju dicial te that Interest te takeoff the duty en coal. Among these gentlemen was Charles F. Stayer, of Baltimore, president of the Consolidated Ceal company, oper ating in the Maryland coal field, whose outlet te the Eastern market is by the Baltimore Ac Ohie railroad. Mr. Mayer is a very sensible and well-informed man, and his opinion is no doubt honestly held and is entitled te great weight. But it seems te us te have little el 30 te recommend it. It is said that coal can be brought te our perta by water at a lower price than it is new taken there by rail; and that is the fact; but this is a strong reason calling for the release of the duty en coal. The duty oper ates as a protection te the rail roads carrying coal te the seaboard. It enables them te charge mere for the ser vice than it is worth. The release of the duty would net take anything from the wages of the miner, because they are new as low as they can be brought. The rail roads have, however, combined te keep up the price of their carriage ; and thecompetitien of foreign coal would inter fere wilh their arbitrary and unwarranted prices. Mr. Mayer well knows that there is a peel among railroads carrying bi tuminous coal te the seaboard, by Inch each is given a share of the traffic with which the ethers agree te abstain from interference. The Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohie, Norfolk & Western each have their allotment, and the Beech Creek will get its share if it is net diverted te the supply of the Western traie. The result is that the chaigp for carrying i5,uoe pounds of bituminous coal te the Philadelphia consumer is two dol lars per ten, the distance being less than two hundred and fifty miles, the coal itself being bought at the mines for from sixty te seventy cents. Of this the miner gets thirty-six cents, the land owner ten te fifteen cents, for royalty, and the operator the remainder ; of which about ten cents gees te pay his general ex ,, penses and what is left represents his profit. It is clear enough that thcre is no room anywhere among these items of the cost of coal at the seaboard, for much le reduction, save in the cost of carriage; and that there is abundant room for it there. A car lead of coal i3 about twenty-five tens; se that the railroad gets fifty dollars te take a car lead of coal te Philadelphia, the trip being made in two days, the car being un un eoaded in another day and returned in a day or two. Undoubtedly that is a profita ble business. It would be de no at a large profit for half the money. Anyone can see that with a glance at the facts. And it is done for less than half the money ,and in this state, at this time, by the sime company. Ceal is sold te-day in Bufllale, New Yerk, for one dollar per ten, S3 we are reliably assured, which is taken there from the Clearfield-Jeffersen region In Pennsylvania, although the distance is greater than te Philadelphia. This is a very unusually low price, and caunet be maintained, ( Butceal has, we understand, for a long time been sold for less than a dollar and a half a ten at Buffalo ; as the coal costs sixty cents at the mines, a dollar at Buffalo gives but forty cents for carriage, and a dollar and a-luilf hut ninety , cents. These are the results of railroad com petition. Several railroads take the traffic north and westward from the Clearfield Clearfield Jeffersen field, and generally they are bank rupt; which shows that their competition reduces their tells below a payingprice. The Pennsylvania reail has had no competition in taking coal eastward, and is threatened with none save from the Beech Creek. As a consequence it recoups itself from the Eastern consumer for what it loses en the Western. This is a swindle from hich free trade in coal will rneas- ibly relieve the Atlantic consumer, who will be able te buy foreign coal at a price that will compel the railroads te put their tariff nearer te a fair figure ; which will be about a half cent per mile. If it is a fact Mint. Mils nrSi-n will vh.1,1 ffi ft fair profit en coal carriage, Congress p need have no hesitation in taking the duty 'V-1 of seventv-five cent a tvn ntt w,t ,1 k the railroads can afford te dren the whole 7,. of this seventy-five cents from their charge r-ana aim uave a very preutabie business in supplying the Atlantic seaboard with bitu- talnmia rnnl. ' f Hdll'IlllF. i. Judge Clayten, of Delawaie county, is .s reported te have naiil in his charge te the ''Jury Jn the case of the negre Jehnsen, en t'trkl for the Sharplesa murder: "If you '! ana mat wuen me wow was sirucK jonn jenn j ion was intending te rob Mr. Sharpies, '(ttwe he is guilty of murder in the first de- ii you iinu mat me man was Kinea, 1 the defendant killed him, and that the lit did net attempt ta rob him, then W'.te- guilty of murder in the second de Certainly this passage as leperted must gi. 4m tera from its context. It is net reason- WV MJJ"VW 14U JUUgV 11VU1U V11UIU M I MMinr without further qualification. There is nothing In the circumstances of the case te show that, if the crlme was murder, It was of any lesser degree than the capital offense. If committed by a sane man It was dene in cold bleed or In the commission of a felony, in cither of Mlildi cases it was murder in the firtt degiee; and the mere ovenlef no attempt te rob is net sufficient te change the dega-e. But it would be very like a jury net te be satisfied te hang Johusen and jet te lie afraid te acquit him; and the judge's charge as quoted leeks like an invitation te them te take the illogical course nnd hand in an equivalent of the Scotch judgment " net proved." It maybe a geed thing te provide for such an escape, but our law has no such phase. The man must be either proved guilty or go free, even though a conviction of his criminality is general and the minds of the jury se inclined. The evidence must prove it beyond doubt, and neither court nor jury has a right te hedge. The news conies of Jehnsen's con viction. It seems te have been effected en at least a doubtful seit of evidence, which would hardly have convicted a defendant of greater influence, and though the public will incline te think tiie prisoner guilty, in the absence of any ether substantiated theory te explain the crime, a leg.il analysis of the evidence hardly proves it of the clear and convincing character that ought te be required te hang men. The ftla7rillll. The unconstitutional educational bill, fathered by Blair, lias passed the Senate, and the project of dumping $77,OiM,(XK) of Tncle Sam's money into the laps of states for educational pin poses, whether they want it or net, is put fairly en its way. The bill provides that the money is te be given te the several states and territeiies in that proportion which the whole num ber of persons in ach, who being of the age of ten years and eer cannot write, bears te the whole number of such persons in the United States, acceuliug te the cen sus of 1SS0 until the census of 1mh shall be obtained. There is a special appropriation of 42,000,000 te aid in the erection of school houses in spaisely settled districts, making the total amount of the gift $70,000,000. The scheme is te last eight jears, the sums appropriated each jearvarj lug from $11, 000.000 the third ear te K,niO,wii the eighth year. On what ground senators can justifj their vote for this preposterous scheme it would be difficult te say. If it is hung u u en the peg that Congress may " provide for the general welfare," the same argument would apply te making geed reads through states. The Southern states de net ak this costly act of paternalism en the part of the gov ernment. Statistics show that they are steadily increasing their education facili ties, and it is better that they should cling te self-help than te aid from without. Be sides, nothing can justify the taxing one state te supply the educational defects of another.

It has leaked out In the literary circles of New Yerk that the long-hidden author of the IJuiitlliiK Hill " is Kilgar Tawcelt, the well-known society novelist of that city, theugli the secret Is still kept by publishers and author as wtdlas they can.

Neu Is this ostimate of Cable unsupported bvweliihtvaiid roeeculzed authority. Only a lew weeks after It was flist expressed, a netable article en recent American tlctlen appeared rrem the critic 1 pen or my friend, l'rer. Charles I'. Hlcharden, thau whom there Is no hlgher authority en literary sub lectsin the country, in which he pronounce "Mr. Cable "the wholesemost or later Amorl Amerl cau novelist," and further says : "The 'art for art's sake dogma gets no encouragement from his short stories and no els.

Mil. Cvni.F, by the way, has premised a new novel, In a new Held, which is te appear seen as a serial. Its scene will be laid among the Acadian, the people te whom we ewe a great debt for having given us l'van l'van gellne. r.ier since he has ceme north he has been studying the history, characteris tic, scenery, architecture and customs of life among that" once unfortunate people.

It is, thercrere, with much inter est that I await the result or his Acadian studies; lu fact, there are only two ethor works for which 1 !xk forward with an equal Interest and eagerness. The first of these is Mr. Lewell's volume en Hawthorne in the " American Men of I.etters " series ; and the second is l'ref, I'.ichardsen's " His tory of American Literature," a work we need very much, and which no one is mere fully competent te give us than he. Mr. Lewell's voluine is new in press; while Prof. Kichardseii vv rit s me that he is " "eg ging away every day a little " at his work, which will occupy from three te live vol umes. He expects te h ive the first volume out this spring, if possible. I si si'f T tlut neither of tliese writers is at present working as hard and steadily at his task as is Mr. Cable.

Mh.

Ills study In his new home there Is almeit as barn as a garret. He does net want any books about liim except just these bearing en the subject he has in hand and selected bv lilin ler reference. A recent writer in The Jluel Jliner says el him : "Mr. Cable is net among these who believe In be ing ruled by inspiration ; he gees Inte hi studvat nine In the morning and leaves it at live fu the afternoon, only stepping into the next room at lunch tlme and back again. This is Ins invariable habit ; he never waits for inspiration, except at the desk with pen cil In hand, and often shuts the windows te guard against the temptation of looking upon what is going en without, aud belug distract ed thereby. 1'rem his work he geos upon long walks, net se eltcn drives he rarely drives ler his own pleasure, preferring the exeiclse of a brisk walk. In winter, after his day's hard work, he attends te his corres pondence and the reading and revision of un finished work, lint in the summer he steps all thought et his work at live In the after noon, ami devotes the rest of his time te wire and children, taking his rest in, as he ex- Cressed it, ' Kitterii:g with music, in which e professes himself a wretched dabbler,' " though In reality, like the late .Sidney Lanier, lie Is a flue musician. " At h' work he is a slew writer, swift of jien, nut s evv te con struct his thoughts Inte written speech. He never lets outside noises or happenings dis turb him, but works steadily until his stint Ishnlslied. Hy long practice he has schooled himself te turn w ith lacility lrem oue subject te another, and at the present tlme he Is writ ing two Imx ks at once." Spkakinm of authors often doing their hardest, and therefore their best work, when they least seem te be working, reminds me that Shelley Is known te have composed his "Hoveltol Islam" whlle lying in the bottom et a little beat in the Thames ; while his friend Keats produced his matchless "Ode te the Nightingale " whlle walking up and down a little 1 aim In llampstead. Wordsworth tee preduceu nearly all his nature-breathing jieelry in the tirst Instance out in the open air, committing it te writing en his return home. Our own Washington Irving did the siiue, only that he feaved tlme by taking his portfolio with him. and then writing down much or his charming work right en the sjeU lle had a lavorite rustic style in a meadow near his home whero lie used te spend a large Iart et his time In this occupation.

It is less easy te believe him wheu he declares that he dreamed one of his ether eein complete ; though Coleridge says the samn or his own " Kubla Khan," and Campbell assures us that the best llue in his " Lechlel's Waru.
