Tb, Clrrlar C -ibe Athrclte nnrt-Th Oppttnlte Hlde ,fbe Qomtlon Hunior f a rnernl Strike , the Klht-hnr Qaeatiea A Srreulea (rmm the V. B. A. itaotav !!, Etc During tho past week a circular to the public has beea issued by the Anthracite Board of Trado (operators) of the Schuylkill region, stating that it is the Intention of the operators to retntin idle until Uie workmen will agree to the reduced rates or uutil another class of work men can be had. The circular further disclaims all desire for exorbitant prices, and expresses a wish, that tho competition in this may be the same as in other trades, the prices being regu lated by the law of supply and demand. As a means of showing, the unreasonableness of the demand of the miners, the circular quotes the eight hour regulation promulgated at the last meeting of the Genera! Council. This they eay means ten hours pay for eight hours labor, or is equivalent to a demand for an increase of twenty per cent, on Wages, which is only another phase oi the present dillicultv. Should this de irand be complied with, say the operators, the burden would fall upon the consumers, and so they appeal directly to that moct sensitive part, the pocket. Danlers and coutumers are called upon to sustain the operators in resisting the exactions of the miners or their leaders. In return, it is promised to sell coal at reasonable rates on a general resumption of trado. Asan otTMet to tills circular It is claimed, on the other .iand, that the present movement of the miners is to the intot est of the trade. The miners, it is suld, ere the blind tools of the operators. The difference In toll charged by the two great monopo lies, thc-ticranton and Lackawanna Companies for New York, and the Kef ding for Philadelphia, makes a fair competition .between the rival ports impos sible. The Heading, though the shortest route, makes uce of Its monopoly privileges to charge a l.eavier rate than the New York company. This I eiug the casf, when the trade is depressed mid low 1 Tics rule, the Philadelphia merchants are una'ile io fell wilh prot't at as low a rate as those of New York. A suspension, tho cfectof which is to pro duce an unuaturai market with high prices, is to their interest, and the miners are indirectly made use of to awoiiipllnU this end. Monopolies are very useful in their way, and when properly used result in great benefit on account of bringing great capital aud energy to bear for the accomplishment of cer tain ends. But when the power Is abused then there is no greater evil. Ju such a case the existence of a smaller and lesa powerjul rival Is of great beneUt, both to the public and tae greater power. The capital or the Reading Company has been able to overcome all such enterprises so far, but if an un just course is pursued tie means will not long be wanting for the perfecting of an opposition. It is proposed by the W. B. A. to enforce the eight hour movement (to take effect on the mh instant), without regard to district. This in other words means that in case the demand for the twenty per cent advance Is not compiled with, a general strike In all the regions will take place. By thus introduc ing this side issue of an eight-hour question It is hoped to gain what the present strike lias failed to gain from wantof a general suspension the increase of price frcin want of supply, which would make the operators avle and willing to pay the advanced rates. If the men in ell the regions are fools enough to thus work into the bands of the Schuylkill men, to their own Inconvenience, well and good ; bat in that case they have lost all claims for resnect upon sensible men, and their actions and deeds should be treated as those of outlaws. One organization, at least, has shown ltseif nuwllling &ny longer to be dictated to in this arbitrary manner. The mechanics of St. Clair have withdrawn from the V. B. A. and have organized an Independent ordi'r of their own. it Is hoped that others will do likewise, or.better still, be come free men entirely, totally independent of all organizations, and willing to rest Uf e.'r claims for waes on their Indiv ldual merits. Jtisnot thought TirobaWfl however that the whole rt'jdQfl will he so wilfully blind as to suspend entirely. The Heading Railroad and the .Schuylkill Naviga tion Companies have given notice that an advance on tolls has been made, and that no drawbacks will be allowed nntil work Is generally resumed in Schuylkill. This will undoubtedly cause all the col lieries now working in that region to suspend for the present. Quotations of prices are omitted on account of the unsettled condition of the market.

The Doctor, with the liberality for which he is distinguished, had made the mo3t ample pre parations for the proper receptiou of his guests, many of whom were accompanied by their wives and children, and all passed merrily. As a slight token of the appreciation of the favors conferred, the following action has been taken by the Greys: At a meeting of the Artillery Corps, Washlniton i.reys, held July 7, 1870, the following preamble aud resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, Our Corps, pursuant to a cordial Invita tion, visited the country-seat of Dr. J. 11.

The Mercurial I)lialtloa mt July-A Heavy Falling Off la the Thermometer Compared With the Laac Twe Weefea at Jaae. The change in the temperature which was signalized by the advent of July has beea too noticeable not to have attracted everybody's attention. The first day of the month. Indeed, was fairly on a par with the last two weeks of June, the maximum of the ther mometer at the Pennsylvania Hospital on that day being 93 degrees, and the minimum t9 degrees. lint Bince then tne mercury has not risen above 65 de grees, as will bcaeen from the following table, giving the maximum and minimum for each day, in com parison with the corresponding days of last year: lwdP. . ls;o.

The mean temperature of July, 1S9, was but 704 degrees, while the average of the mean tempera ture of the month for eighty years has been but 75-76 degrees. Therefore, although we have during the past week been bleBsed with altogether pleasant and endurable weather, it is seen that It has been 2 87 degrees shove the average of the mean temperature of the whole month. At 9 o'clock this morning tiie thermometer at the Hospital stood at 74 5 degrees, and at noon it had risen to 80 5 degrees. Thj Mortalitt of tub Citt.

Owing to the con fusion at present existing in the Tax Receiver's Ollice, it is Impossible to state the exact amount of delinquent taxes due tne city. The amount, however, is between four and five millions of dollars. The amount uncollectablo by reason o exemption is 1 3,95t5,i68, and the amount col lected li"Til ILS uiisL elg'nt weeks is f 100,005. This leaves something over one million of j dol lars to be yet collected by the Delinquent Tax Collector, John L. Hill. CAh i'OusES in Difficulty. This morning, as one of the Union passenger cars was passing up Seventh street, above Green, the horse at tached to the car stumbled and fell ipto an ex cavation betweenthe track. No notice of tho ancer beinor riven, at about 1 o clock this atter- noon two other horses attached to another cur fell into the 6ame place, and were extricated with much difficulty. The first horse wasnich injured. N, V. WONKY MAKttET YESIEKDAV, From, (he .V.''. JJtrald. "Wall street still continues to discuss the Curren- cv bill. aud. curiously enough, is greatly divided as to its effect upon the finances. There seems to lie a great deal of misunderstanding as to the real ctt'ect ol unlimited issues of national bank notes, and bank expansion. The more the banks expand under the national oanK system me greater vim cuuira:uuu oi the real money of the country. It was bank expan sion that brought on the panic of InV. Congress has done the country no good by authorizing the lnrease of national bank facilities. Yet, when so much was threatened, the public are to be congratulat e It is no worse. General Uraut ought, however, to carefully consider the Currency bill before giving It ins signature, s-uouia ne wimuoia ins sau:uou, and tiirow the whole question over to the next ses sion of Congress, he wouia not be uoing amiss, ana the people would endorse him. The bill so far is a triumph for Secretary lloutwell, who is a luiui c-ontractionist. iu pursuing nis iaea oi Dnug liig the country to specie payments, lug it not oc curred to nim tnat in piaee oi pressing a measure which is to cancel forty-live millions ot three per cent. certiBcates, it would have been better to have kept on in the oiu way oi using nis currency balance to redeem and cancel the six per cent, tl ve-tweuties? He would by so doing save tne country twict as much Interest. President Grant ought to take this Idea into consideration In preparing a veto on the bill. It seems that the bill works even greater con traction than we at nrst supposed. A correspondent who is a prominent authority in the street writes us: "'In referriDft to the three per cent land bank reserve you say "The bill proposes violent contraction, for the three per cents eunnt as reserve ia the bank to tbe ex tent ol throe tilths of that amount." You will tiod, by an examination of the law, that tbe banks are allowed to keep three tilths o' their entire reserve in them, not siniolr to oount three iidhs of the three per cents as re st rve. To illustrate: The circulation and depuKiti of the New York city unus alone amount to about gj.tiO'J.uiio, on which twen'y tive per cent, reserve would be -Sj.oOO,- WX, ol which they are permitted ta keeo three tifths, or $:t7 oOO.Uoo, in three per cent, cerlitica'es.' "The gold market was feverish and excited, in consenuence of reported further complications in the hostile attitui'e of France and Prussia, aud the price ran up to 118V. Later in the forenoon there was a reaction to 111'.', gold showing a constant tendency to decline under the anticipated contrac tion to result irom tne operation oi tne turreucy bill. Were it not for the foreign news gold would have gone down below 110 since the passage of the bilk At noon there was a return to 1 12 W, when it was discovered at the sub-Treasury that the cotnpeti tion for the Government gold elicited bids for a total of six and a quarter millions. In the afternoon Five-twenties and Kentes came better from London and Paris, which was luterpreted as the index of a less warlike situation, and gold azain went on to lll Vt closing at lll,vll'i. The Government gold sold to-day was the coin Interest belonging to the sinking and special iunos. The bids ranged irotn 111 to 112-15, aud the awards were made at 111 -SO to 112 95.

Colonel Foster, of the Quartermaster s De partment, made a statement relative to certain contracts which Mr. Murphy had from the Jov rnment during tho war.

The ioint resolution requiring enlistments In the Marine Corps to be lor nve years instead oi lour years, and authorizing credit for re-mli9tuient pay, was passed. m Mr. Sumner presented the petition of Cyrus W. Field, setting forth his desire to furnish cheap and increased facilities ot telegraphic communication through tho United States and the West Indies, anil to this end asking authority to lay a cable from Florida to Cuba, and tne repeal oi tne international Ocean Telegraph Company's exclusive privilege to have a cable between those shores. Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. Mr. Morrill le.), irom ine conierence committee on the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Appro priation bill, made a report, which was adopted. In reply to specific inquiries, he explained that the Senate amendment relating to the eilect of a pardon or amnesty In the Court of Claims was retained, that the Senate amendment for the extension or the Capitol grounds and a new State Department build- lug were stricken out, anu uie appropriation u lioo.ooo for a North Pole expedition reduced :o $50,000. t I'pon the general proposition for an increase of official Halariea, the Senate had receded, conse quently there was no increase iu tbe salaries or judges and heads of bureaus. The Senate amendments relating to clerks !n the departments and female clerks in the departments had been stricken out. In the case of the latter a provision had been inserted allowing tne appoint ment of females to any grade of clerkships. Mr. Stewart orrered a resolution requesting tne President to cause the act of February 19, lsii2, to prohibit the coolie trade, to be strictly enforced, and for that purpose to instruct the proper civil officers of the United states to prosecute for all violations of sld act, and directing an investigation as to whether Chinese coolies are being transported to the United States in violation or law. Messrs. Trumbull and Hamlin objected, to the lesolutiun as an imputation upon the President that be did not perrorm nis duty. The resolution was laid on the table, but subse quently adopted as modified, to provide for a simple luquiry into tne alleged cir.nese importation in violation oi law. On motion of Mr. Sumner, the bill for a pension to Mrs. Lincoln was taken up yeas 30, nays 21. The bill was discussed upon the general expedi ency of introducing an Innovation upon the pension nolicv of the Government in providing for the wlduws and children of public servants. Mr. Morrill Vt ) said since the deatti of her hus band Mrs. Lincoln had received tio.OOO, one year 8 Presidential salary, and now it was proposed to vote her eight dollars per day. while the disable soldiers or the war received only eight dollars per month, lie moved to reduce tho amount to five dollars per day. Mr. Howell regarded the bill aa a gross fraud upon the pension laws, which was to be perpetrated for the benefit of a single Individual, while destitute widows and orphans of the L'nlon slain were waiting In vain for Congressional relief. He argued that the pension laws were never intended to apply to civil officers, and In this respect he termed the bill a sneaking fraud. He would rather vote for a Dili niaklt g a donation. Mr. McCreery argued that although three other Presidents had died in office, the proposition for a peision to the widow of a President was without precedent, lie thought a more worthy object of public charity might oe selected, and was opposed to voting away tne public money for foreign show. After further diacus.sion, in which Mr. Yates charged that Mrs. Lincoln and her whole family had been in sympathy with the Rebellion, which was denied by Mr. Howard, a motion to lay on the table, on which the vote was regarded as a t8t on the bill, was lost-yeas.

Mr. (Bohenc. from the Committee or Ways and Means, reported back the Senate amendments to the Tariff and Tax .bill, and moved that they be all non coneurred in, fro fnrma. and referred to a commit tee or conference. He said that the Committee of Ways and Means did not pretend to say that it would recommend non -concurrence in each of the amend ments in detail. There were Borne of them which the committee thought ought to oe concurred in, but the committee was satisfied that ff it reported back the aaioudments recommending concurrence in some and non-concurrence in ot tiers, running over the whole complicated questions in all their variety, so much time would be cons-imed as to render it likely that no .bill reducing taxes wou'.d be passed this session. Mr. Brooks N. V.) opposed the motion, and ar fjed that the House eduulil have an opportunity of voting on each amendment. He Admitted that a majority of the Committee of Ways and .Means had authorized the motion to be made, but it was a bare majority only that came to that conclusion, and on that committee there were but two revenue men, so that they must have had the co-operation of some members of the majority. The amendments made in the Senate were main'.y jobs; some or them small jobs : jobs on horses, jobs on iron, jobs on ultra-marine, jobs oa award biases, tobs on Tinoiine, corset, and steel wire, jobs on hair-cloth for the benefit of one or two manufac turers, joiw on brimstone, jobs on tombstones even by addition to the duty on marbie, and jobs on cotton thread intended for the special benefit of a few manufacturers in Rhode Island mainly. The Senate had also nut kryolltc on the free list for the special benefit of the Httsburg Soap .Manufacturing Com pany. l'erhaps the best part of the bill was that amend ment opening up thirteen additional ports of entry with an Innumerable army of appraisers, weighers, measurers, and gaugers, as the practical cil'ect would be to encourage smuggling and otherwise reduce the rates 2.'i per cent. That would be good for the interest of the country though bad for the treasury. He argued that there was nothing worse in principle than to trust legislation on such impor tant matters to a committee of conference; to six gentlemen appointed by the President of the .Senate and the Speaker of the House. One of the great purposes of keeping the Tax and Tari'l'bill to the end of the session was to strip from I tne Jtepreseuia:ives oi tne people tne power or im posing of taxes and to throw that greatest, of power into the hands oi an oligarchy of six. In other words, it was throwing the whole tia I tlon power of Congress into the hands or a tew I monopolists, wiio contrive to get up such bills to be adjusted at the end or the session by committees of conference, whom members Know nothing whatever of the changes made. He argued that there was ample time for the consideration of the Senate amendments in the House, as the time thus con sumed would otherwise be given to the business on the Speaker's table, which was full of join. He trusted, therefore, that the motion for a committee of conference would not prevail,-but that the bill would fobow the usual form of legislation. Mr. Schenck replied to Mr. Urooks' objections, and said that what was proposed by the Committee of Ways and Means was no uncommon thing at the close of a session. He thought himself justliied in saying that the minority did not want any bill to pass that would reduce taxation, and that there were gentlemen on the other side of the House who, ir they thought that there was an Increase of taxation on Dessemer steel to the amount or t-iO,o, would vote against the bill, even though its general reduction amounted to f80.ooo,iK)or 100,000,OOJ. Mr. Brooks asked ilr. Schenck whether in that remark he alluded to him. JJr. Schenck replied that If he understood Uhe gen tleman Irom ??ew York he was in that position. Mr. Brooks remarked that lie was anxious to re duce the revenue a hundred millions. He desired the reduction of the duty ou tea, cotl'ee, sugar, and OtSer articles, and did not desire an increase on Bessemer steel. He was Willing to take $13,000,000 o:Tef sugar, but was not willing to take !:;,000,uoo of arsenic with It in the rorin or Bessemer steel.li Mr. Schenck remarked that It would be a ver., strong bill ir everv member of the House were con tent with every item in it. lie himself was not, and never had been. But he was ror taking tne most and the best he could get tending towards the great object to be accomplished, lie was not for shutting his eyes against the light or the sun and refusing to bask in its beams because it might have sonr: spots upon it. Mr. Garfield Inquired whether the question of the income tax would go to a conference committee. Mr. Schenck replied that it would, as that was still an open question between the two houses. Mr. Oarnel l inquired whether it was so far open as that the conference committee could abolish the tax altogether. Mr. Schenck replied that he did not believe in the right of a conference committee to do that. Mr. Cox remarked that conference committees often did such things, however. Mr. uariield said he desired if possible to strike a blow at the Income tax and end It. Mr. Schenck moved to suspend the ru!e, and non-concur in the Senate amendments, and order a committee of conference. The motion was rejected. Mr. Cullom moved to concur In the first amend ment of the Senate, which strikes out the first 34 sections of the House bill relating to speciar taxes, regulations as to stamps, etc., and substitute for them 6 new sections. The motion was rejected, and the amendment non-concurred in. Mr. Davis (S. Y.) moved to suspend the rules and strike from tne bill ail relating to the income tax.

MEDICAL, The Era of Revolutions. If the Jog-trot slaves of precedent and routine who flourished a century ago could now revisit the scenes of their former labors, how completely they would be taken aback by the wholesome Innova tions which modern skill, knowledge, and enterprise have made npon their musty precepts atd porolind practlcot In medicine, especially, we hjve got en tirely out of the old worn-out grooves, and takes a new and more philosophical road to health. The German School of Medical Chemistry Is per hers the most progressive a id successful, it has re pudiated the stcrcotjptd potions cf the past, and substituted In their stead a new class of alterative ard restoratives capable, it would seem, of working wonders, rromiuent, perhaps foremost, among these stand the well-known household remedies HOOFIAND'S GERMAN BITTEK9, HOOFIAND'S GlI53XiVlV TOMO, . AND HOOFIAND'S J?01301IIYJJLI1N PILLS. They are the Greatest Known Remedies For Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Nervous' Debility, Jaundice. Disease of the Kidneys, Eruptions of thefckin, and all ciseases arising from a Disordered l.iver, Sto mach, or IMPL'lMTy OF THE BLOOD. These medicines have acquired a reputation ex ceeded by none, and when we see such names as those 01 Chltf Justice Thompson, ex-Chief Justice Woodward, Justice Sharswood, Mayor Rogers, of Buffalo, New York, together with those of the lead ing clergy of the country, and prominent statesmen and citizens, apt ended to strong testimonials in favor of these popular preparations, we recognize the evidence thus volunteered as unimpeachable and conclusive. Such men do not give the.'r sanction and approval to articles which they do not KNOW to be . ui owning excellence, ana tnererore when they state through the columns of the press that HOOF LAND'S GEUMAN BITTERS Is a valuable medi cine In cases of Indigestion and Dyspepsia, of great, benefit In cases of Debility and want of Nervous ac tion," and "a safe and valuable preparation for Gcreral Debllltv and Liver nnmmm nr. " U70 tant assured that they speak from actual EXPERIENCE anu ustiKi axiom, and with a due sense of the weight of their Influence and of the words the employ. The testimony m relation to the tus'tp. hinh contains a stimulating element emitted in the Bit-- uth, is equauy satisfactory. . Hooflaiio's German Tonic Was compounded for those not Inclined, to extreme bitters, and is intended for use In ca-.es when some nlcotollc stimulant Is required In connection with the Tonic properties of the Bitters. Kach bottle of the Tonic contains one bottle of the Bitters, com bined witn pure sakta ckpz Rum, and flavored in such a manner that the extreme bitterness of the Bitters is overcome, forming a preparation highly agreeable and pleasant to the palate, an I containing the medicinal virtues of the Blttera Tne price of the Tonic la fl-60 per bottle, which many persons think too high. They must take Into consideration that the stimulant used la guaranteed to be of a pnre quality. A poor article could be famished at a cheaper price, but la It not better to pay a little more and have a good article? A medicinal preparation should contain none but the best Ingredients, and they who expect to obtain a cheap compound and be bent 11 ted will most certainly be deceived. Hoofland's Podophyllin Pill Is also highly extolled and pronounced to be the most emclent Cathartic known to the Medical World. Being composed of the ACTIVE PRINCIPLE of Mandrake, In combination with other effective In gredients, they act more powerfully upon the Liver and Decretive Organs than any other Fills. Their operation la free from griping or nausea. Two Pills a Doso. It does not require a handful of them to' produce the desired effect. From personal experience and. otherwise, we have no hesitation In aaylng that, taken In connection with tbe Bitters and Tome, they will speedily cure the most severe and long-standing: cases of Liver Complaints, Constipation, or any other derangements of the organs of digestion. The Pills will Puriry the Blood, will thoroughly cleanse the Liver of all unhealthy impurities, and relieve tbe Stomach and Bowels, while the Bitters or Tonic strengthens and adds new life to the entire system, enables the Stomach to digest the food, and transforms tbe sickly, emaciated, weak, and feeble body Into one of health, strength, and vigor.
