It Is saiu t hat pn attempt Is to he made to Intro duce the same bill of lading at New York that has oeen In force at Philadelphia during the pist season, Hiving demurrage to vessels at Eastern ports of 8c. per ton per dav, after twenty-four hours detention, for each hundred tons of cargo. Of this subject a JJoston nrm, In a private letter, makes the following mention : "The Now York coals are fast supplanting those corning from Philadelphia to this market, tieonuse of tiiti oncer tainty of tbe supply where strikes are so frequent and lone continued as in Schuylkill cuunty, and where the cost it rendered so uncertain liy reason of r.hnnires in tolls and freights, and eipecially by the demurreco clause in tho bill of lading used by tbe Philadiilphia sliippors, and last, though not It-sst, because of the faulty preparations of Schuylkill cml. We believe all the disadvantage under which we now labor can be (jrpat.'y modified, tf not en iroly rnioed, and trust the subject may continue to receive the attention it to much doserTes." To which all that can be added is, "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.'' A private meetlDgof the General Council of the Workingmen's Beneficial Association wan held at Centralla on Tuesday last, it Is reported that the following terms on which work would be resumed were adopted and referred to the operators, who, It was thought, would accept them: Eight hoars to be considered a day's work for laborers, who were to be paid by the hour, with a proportionate reduc tion in. the rates of wages, and thu miners to accept a reduction of 20 per cent, on the basis of 1S80 (j p r ton at Tort Carbon). This resolution was in tended to coBtrol the men in all tho coal regions governed by the W. 15. A. It was thought that should the terms be accepted by the operators, work would be rusumed about July 6. The only trouble is that it is not yet quite certain that such a resolu tion has been passed by the council. At a meeting of the Sehnylklil county members of the W. 15. A., held last week, it was resolved to join polities with the present Issue, and nominate a vorklngman's ticket for the fall election, at a con vention to be held in Mabanoy City on July 10. The New York Herald opens a new Idea when It proposes to use the coming Chinaman as a miner, for which profession he would be particularly adapted on account of the little skill necessary anil his carelessness to general comfort or condition of life while earning his little money. The price now paid for mining is that of skilled labor, whieh It Is not. and this has to be paid because of the uude.sira bleness of the situation. It Is thought that John will not .object to damp and dangerous mines, and so will not cbmre more for his work than for stone breaking or other manual labor above gronnd. But perhaps, should he be inducted into tii is new sphere, he too might become impregnated with the spirit of the place, might become connected with trade unions, iuiirht be engaged In the perennial tights und unending dranks, might be posting up 'coilln notices," and end up with cutting 01V heads and pigtails in his own native maimer, which lust state might be prse than the first. But even with all these possible evils, should his advent put an end to the great blow and little work at present in vogue, which Is only to the interest of the speculator or like personages, we say decidedly put him Into the mines. Some little difficulty migut be experienced, however, in getting him thereon account of opposition from present occupants. Not only would there be opposition in council, equal, to any dispute in any place on the colored question, but bloodBhed would undoubtedly follow. The mining class Is undoubtedly the most able of any to resist by these means the encroachments of uliens upon rhelr birthright. At Mauoh Chunk during the past week, there were transported over both the railroads and canal 116,409 10 tons, against 100,971 09 tons the week pre viousan Increase of 1S.43S 1 tous, and an in crease over the corresponding week last year of 77,056 05 tons.

A new building has just been completed at the northwest corner of Ninth and Market streets, which was opened to the public fo the first time .yesterday, as a Urst-class whole sale and retail cloth-house. This store, lately fitted up throughout and entiieiy remodelled at a great expense, is now one of the finest stores in Philadel phia, and the lirm occupying it now propose to do tbe finest business of any in the city. Tne arrange ments tor the business are the most complete tlit could be made. The lirm Is known as William T. Snodgrass &. Co., formtrlv doing business at No. 34 South Second street. This drm is the oldest es tablished of the combined wholesale and retail cloth houses In the city. They have purchased the entire building where they are now located, and have made tbe necessary alterations at great expense. The alterations have been goiug on for some seven mouths past, and the entire cost was f lOd.ooo. The dimensions of the first floor are twenty-eight by one hundred and twelve feet, and tbe basement, whleb through the entire length and breadth Is fur nished with the expensive Hyatt light, Is forty-four by one hundred and twelve feet. The full Importa tions of this house, which will be in the store in a few davs. cannot be surpassed by any house in the country. Tbe old situation in South Second street has been abandoned on account of poorer accomino. datlons, and the westward progress of trade.which it is proposed to meet, this oiu store is. now ciosea. and tbe active business is centred at Ninth aud Market streets, which place was opened July 1.

An In'tbrkstino Relic A Fac-8ivili or Old Ik iikpendence Bell Pkesentku to Mayor Fox Yesterday Mayor Fox had presented to him by Joseph Bernard, bell and brass founder, No. 120 N. Kixth street, a bell, a fan simile of the old In. denendence bell now in Independence HaIL The rift is tbe size of an ordinary dinner bed, or a little larger, and Is a cherished relic, from the fact that it wan made out of tbe tilings taken from the old bell. Mr. Bernard obtained suitlclent metal from tbaold bell atthe time he repaired It to make three small ones, one of which was sent to Henry Clay, the other is in the possession of tne Historical society, auu uie third was presented to the Mayor yesterday, as above stated. A New Situation On Tuesday next the work of demolishing the old F'ftn District station nouse, Fifteenth and Locust streets, will be commenced.

An attempt was made to obtain an appropriation to defray the expenses of a mili tary parade, out our i;ny ratners aid not even auow the measure to erne before them, so that all dis plays that are made will be done at tbe expense of individuals. The programme for the day will be about as fol lows : The surviving soiiiicrs or 1812 win noid tneir usual meeting lu the mornlcJT, at which the Declara tion of Independence will be read, and a series of resolutions adopted. At 2 o'clock!'. M. the prominent Kcpuoncans in Congressional districts whore the Democracy are In the majority will meet si cne iiirani nouse lor me purpose of protesting against the present manner in which the national patronage Is distributed In their districts. It will be remembered in this connection that on the incoming of the present admtuisiration an arrangement was made at VVaehiugton by which Republican members or the House or Representa tives were given the power of making the appoint ments in their own districts, but that on Senators Cameron and Scott was bestowed the privilege of selecting the appointees in districts represented by Democrats. J lie way in wnien inis patronage nas been distributed has given offense to some of the representative Republicans In those districts. Hence the above meeting. At 3-30 o clock 1 . m. a grand mass mecrccg win ne held In Independence Square, under the auxpiees of the Temperance Blessing, an Institution which has accomplished great good in this city. The assem blage will bo addressed by I'nlted States Senator Jmeroy, ex-wovernor ronoes, iv. d. 1. witnrow, Rev. H.A. Cleveland, and others.

Twenty-flve or thirty men, with one omeer, as tne arrangements may call ror, start from the half-mile post on a well-made race track, with a medium sized hand engine, with suction In position, and with fifty feet of hose on the reel. A running start is taken. Near the Judges' stand Is placed a box of water, where tne engine, on Its arrival, is backed, suction nxea, Drakes maunea aud water forced through the hose, the engine not to be touched by any person who did not start from the h tlf-milu post with It, During the summer of 18U3 No. 6 par ticipated in these contests aud succeeded In re ducing the time from 8-04 to-4l?4'. At the State fair in the spring of the same year they did a mile under the same conditions in six minutes aud thirty seconds, and at a base ball festival in Septe.uber a quarter of a mile in one minnte and eight seconds.

This was done by Hope, No. 8, In a trifle over four minutes.

The Congresi of Mexico closed Its session on the Slst of May late in tbe evening, a multitudo of business bavlntr been crowded into the last moments, most of which was abandoned unfinished. The im portant question of finances was Eot folly con sidered this session by that representative body, and asa result we have tbe anomaly of an attempt to keep np a government with a bankrupt treasury, and without ample provision being made lor the expenditures which are indis pensable for the preservation of a semblance of order. With reference to Mexico and the United Slates, it appears from the press of the capital that the Lower California question (the Leese grant) is being again revived, and the supposed anxiety of Richard Sehell, General John A. Loiian, August Relmoht, General B. F. Butler and tho other oflicers of the Lower California Company to gobble up the above mentioned peninsula is creating not a little excitement, es pecially among the ignorant, who have not read the grant, ihe persons wno are stirring up the matter are enemies of tbe present government and have resorted to all kinds of misrepresen tations. The following is the address made On the closing of Congress: ' Pkssimkt Juarez to the Citizen Depiti'P: I eonprntulate you, because at the cioso of the second period of your ordinary session we see, wnn great BHtiHaction, that each day the Important work f in- snring peace and estabiisping tne regular practice or our iree Institutions' is mure and more advanced. 'i'lie remainder of the revolutionists in r-an Luis aud Zscstecas having been unceasingly pursued only f-mall bands remain, which cannot oe long In disap pearing. They do not occupy any city, nor do they prevent the au horltles in all the States from per foimti'g their duty.- For this reason the Kxecuilve has continued to enjoy the greitest support both in the good sentiment of public opinion, in the active co-operation 01 the authorities of the States and in the loyal services of the nation il annv. OulcKly and energetically were some bauds of evil-doers dis posed of which were raised lu the spirit of that resolution. The painful but absolute necessity caused the law agsinst robbers aud ktdnap;jers, vth'ch congress has thought best to prolong for a ycnr.seetng the salutary result which it ha produced ano tne just spirit wnn wiiicn it nas oeen enforced, in order to give security to person and property. which is the first duty of .every society. The several .subjects upon which Con gress bas been occupied in these sefsions are of grave Interest and should bo very benfflclal for the future. IJesldes preferrlnly Invest iff atinc and voting for the Appropriation bill. thus fulfilling the constitutional rule, Congress has considered some projects or greater importance, which will be very useful In developing the elements of wealth, snd lias also continued the examination of the tar ff of tho custom house, wishing to make la It the modifications most convenient to encourage commerce. The discussion upon some of the cousu tutiorml reforms Initiated by the .Executive has been worthv of the character and bluatrlousness of tho representatives of the people, by elevated political designs, by their profouud study of those grave ques tions and by tneir impartial ana exquisite spirit. The opinions and votes which hive already been given in congress estaniisn a perfect confidence that the representatives of tho people, even with i he sacrifice of dedicating especially their labor to this important subtect. win be wortnny carried to a speedy aud proper termination In order to perfect and consolidate our Institutions. I shall be very glad to welcome you, citizen deputies, when you return to occupy youtsnves, wnn wisoom and pa triotism, to procure tho greatest good and pros perity for the republic. It is rumored here that the sum of the claims of American citizens against fheU lited htatcs of Mex ico exo-ed those f Mexican citizens against tne I'nlted States of America by seven! millions, and that in consequence there are ample reasons for alaim in view of possible results. In the absence ot poMtlve da'a no value should be attributed to ru mors, although it Is said that In consequence of the doubtful view of the future the Government of Mex ico Is anxious to open relations with the European nations, In order to create a diversion or a conflict of interests when the moment of the settlement of the claims shall arrive. It Is even said that severul yersons prominent In the Government have recently sought interviews with va rious prominent citizens of European nations. for the purpose of consulting as to the best and most delicate method or initiating measures lor tne re newal of relations with European powers. How much tiutR thre is in these rumors will certainly appear at no distant day. Mr. Marlscal. the Mexi can Minister. Is expted to return to Washington via Havana, takloiruie French s'eamer of the 13th from Vtra Ctuz. He should reach New York about the S&th or 26th of June. His health is vey much Improved by his trip to Mexico.

T S Kia MfcDICAL. The Era of Revolutions. If tr.e jog-trot slaves of precede and routine who flourished a ccntnry ago could now revisit the scenes of their former labors, how completely they wonld be taken aback by the wholesome Innova tions which modern skill, knowledge, and enterprise have made npon their musty pneepts and purblind practice, I In medicine, especially, we hve got en tirely out of tbe old worn-ont grooves, and taken a new and more philosophical toad to health. The German School or Medical Chemistry Is per haps the most progressive a" d successful. It has re pudiated the stfreotypd potions of tbe past, and subxtituted In their stead a new class or alteratives ard lestoratives 'capable, It would seem, or working wonders. Prominent, perhaps foremost, among these sfnnd the well-known household remedies HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS, HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TOINIO, AND H00FIANDS rODOl'I IYLLI IN PILLS. They are the Greitest Known Remedies For Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Nervous Debility, Jaundice, Disease of tho Kidneys, Eruptions ol the Skin, and all diseases arising from a Disordered Liver, Sto mach, or IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD. These medicines have acquired a reputation ex ceeded by none, and wlu.n we see such names as those 01 C'hl f Justice 1 hompson, ex-Chief Justice AVoodwaid, Justice bharswuod, Mayor Mogers, of Buffalo, New York, together with those or the lead ing clergy of the country, aud prominent statesmeu and citizens, api ended to strong testimonials In favor of iheBe popular preparations, we recognize tne evidence thus volunteered as unimpeachable and conclusive. Such men do nut give their sanction and approval to articles which they do not KNOW to be of sterling excellence, and therefore when they state through the columns of the press that HOoF LAND'H Gli KM AN BITTEKS is a valuable medi cine In cases of Indigestion and Dyspepsia, "of great benefit in cases of Debility and wauc of Nervous ac tion," and "a safe and valuable preparation for General DcbUlty and Liver Complaint." we reel assured that tbey speak rrom actual EXfEHIEJCifi and UbfErtVAilOM, and with a due sense or the weight or their Influence, and of the words they eui Uy. The testimony In relation to the TONIC, which contains a stimulating element emitted In the Hit ters, Is equally satisfactory. Hcofiano's German Tonic Was compounded for those not inclined to extreme blttrs, and Is intended lor use in caies whei some alcol ol c stimulant is required In connection with the 1 onto properties or the Bitters. Kadi bottle ol the Tonic contains one bottle or the Bitters, com bined with pure hanta Ckcz Rcm, and flavored In such a manner that the extreme bitterneps of the Bitteisis overcome, forojlug a preparation highly sgrteuble and pleasant to the palate, an! containing the medicinal virtues or tbe Bitters Tne price of the Tonic is IT60 per bottle, which many persons think tuo hij'h. Ibey must taae Into consideration that the stimulant uted Is guaiauteed to be of a pure quality. A poor article could be furnished at a cheaper prlc-, but is it not better to pay a little more aud have a good article? A medicinal preparation ebouid contain none but the best Ingredients, and they who expect to obta'n a c&eap compound and be btntnttd will most certainly be deceived. Hoofland's Podophyllum Pill Is also highly extolled and pronounced to be the most efficient cathartic known ti the Medical World. Being composed of the ACTIVE PRINCIPLE or Mam'rake, lu combination wltn other effective In gredients, they act more powerfully upon the Liver and (ecietive Organs than any other Pil's. Their opeiatlon Is free from griping or nausea. Two Pills a Dose. It dofs not require a naDdful' of them to produce tbe detdred etftct. From personal experience and otherwise, we have no hesitation In saying that, taken in connection wkh the Bitters and Tonto, they will speedily cure the most severe and long-standing casts of Liver Complaints, constipation, or any other aerangen.ents of the organs of digestion. The Pills will Purify the Blood, will thoroughly clean Be the Liver of all nnbealthy Impurities, aud relieve the Ktouiacb aud Bowels, while tue Bitters or Tonio strengthens and adds new lire to tbe entire ) stem, ei abas tbe btouiaca to digest tbe rood, and tram-forms tbe sickly, emaciated, weak, and foeble body Into one or health, strength, and rigor.

Expe rienced steamboatmen claim that the Natchez has great advantage in the river hence to Cairo. As there is no telegraph office between here and Vicksburg except Ilelena, and they will not probably reach there befere 4 o'clock, nothing can be learned.

Dcxpatrh to the Associated "resn. Washington, July 2. Tho House agreed to a second conference on the Indian Appropria tion bill, and Messrs. Sargent, Niblack, and Paine were appointed. The Pat. Wood Case. The House refused to allow Mr. Merrick, counsel for Pat. Woods, who is under arrest of the House for an assault upon Mr. Porter, of Virginia, to appear at the bar of the House and argue the case. The Louisiana case of Dirrall, against Bailey was then taken up. C O IV li lt E S Menate. Confirmed from Second Edition. 31 r. Johnson argued that our country was mainly Indebted for Its present size, wealth, and population to the foreign element ; that our greatness hail ru celved Its great Impulse from that force. But for the lorcign element we would have been where we were In 18i!6 or 1S3U. We would have hail no Pacific Kailroad nor other grca5 enterprises. Ilonne. Continued from the Second fiUitlon. Mr. Myers withdrew the motion for the present, with the understanding that lie would renew it on aiiotbtr occaslou hereafter. Mr. Jcnckes, from the conference committee on "the bill to revise, consolidate, and amend tho Patent aud Copyright laws, made a report which was agreed to. The Speaker Informed the House that the Indian Appropriation bill had oeen returned from the Senate, with a request for further conference, the conferees ot the two houses having failed to agree. Mr. Sawyer, one of tbe House conferees, stateu the grounds' of difference between the two houses. '1 ne senate, ne sain, insisted upon speciuo appro priations under the treaties made since July, ls67, and that these trestles be recognized as the supremo law of the land. It claimed the exclusive right of determining the propriety of making a treaty, the terms of such treaty, and with whom it might pro perly be made, and that Its action was not open to the criticism or control of the legislative power. The Senate conferees however, had offered to put a clause In the bill authorizing tlie Preside ut to use tbe money for any other purpose than those named lu tr atlcB in his discretion, but with the consent of tbe Indians. The House conferees had refused to Insert In tbe bill anything which could be taken as a ratification of consent to any Indian treaty made since July 0, 18(17, contending that the roving, irres ponsible bands of Indians are not independent nations with whom treaties' can possibly be made. 1 bat the practice of so regarding and treating them had been fruitful of frauds on the Government and Injurious to the Indians. 1 bat the nw treaties for which tho House had eteady refused appropriations involved an expendi ture of to,ooo,0oo at least, and that to concede the demand of the Senate conferences would be to ad mit that that sum, and any- amount whatever, could be taken from tbe Treasury without the consent of the people's representatives, either as to the amount or to the use to which tt.should be applied; that the objects for which the money was to im used under the treaties were in a great measure fantastic and useless; that the recent Indian delegation had denounced those treaties aB a fruud and sur prise on the Indians, and that the iovernincnt had paid no respect to them, so far as they conferred or continued hunting privileges on the Indians asa last hope of agreement, and with tlie desire of pre venting an ludlan war, and securing the comfort aud civilization of the Indians. The House confer ence had proposed to appropriate the full amount which the Senate had inserted m a great hurry, and to leave to the Executive the dutv and responsibility of expending the mouey. This oiler of compromise was made because the conference consioered tbe question one not of mouey but of principle. The Senate conference, how ever, refused to agree to this proposition Mr. Buck Insisted on the right of the house to say whether it would approprlete money to carry out tratie, aud declared that be never would consent to any such proposition as that the Senate had a right to make a treaty with a hundred Indians, sfly one of whom mitrht be hung for stcaSiug a cow, aua psy them a hundred millions for the Territory of Colorado. Mr. Lawrence gave three reasons why in his Judg ment the House was not hound to carry out the lu dlan treaties made in pursuauce of the act of July. First. Because by the express terms of that act Con gress reserved to Itself the right to determine what lands snould ne sot apart for reservations to the Indians, and therefore no treaty could be made binding Congress to appropriate money until these reservations had been expressly approved by Con gress. Second. That money cannot be appropriated from the Treasury except in pursuance of law, that Is, a law ei acted oy both bouses, aud approved by tbe Pr sldent, and that a treatv is no such law. Third. That the I ndlau tribes are not Independent nation". In the seuBe ttf international )a, capable or inuklug treaties that can bind the in or tne L uited S' ate;-. Mr. Washburn (Wis.) asked Mr. Lawrence wlin tiitr the House had any right to refuse makiiig ap propriations to cairy out these treaties. PERSONAL. PENSIONS. PENSIONS.
