nAnnipnunu, Nv. H, is;a. Tuo deuu of Sjnttor
Watt materially aldi t'i the c nn?ltcji'.ioa witd
whluh we are threatened on Hie meeting of toe
li;ls!nt,re. TiiePenate now stand 18 Republicans,
19 Democrat and one vacancy. I' odor the Ujn
ulltntloa and laws, the Speaker of the Senate U re
imred to issuo lii writ (or a special elec
tion to supply a Senator In place of Mr. Watt.
The law It not imperative at to the time
the writ shall Issue. It limply provides
that he ihaU Issue the writ; that there sbll
be lirtcen d.tys' netioe; lliaf, the Sheriff must make
proclamation ten days before the lection, and that
no writ shall be Issued to All a vacancy unless the
retnrns can be received before the adjournment of
the session. Beyond these mandatory directions of
the law, the Speaker of the Senate Is left to his own
discretion. Some forty Ave days rutist elapse be.
twieu the time of the death of Senator Watt and
the meeting of the Legislature, and Speaker White
will doubtless lsgne bis writ at onee, so that the va
eancy will be Oiled before the first Tuesday of Janu
ary, and havo the Senate full for the organization.
The spcclat election will call out the best energies
ef both parties. The district gave some 800 ma
jorlty to the Republican candidate for Shrirt'at the
lato election, but that majority is not a reliable one,
especially in a mere local contest. The two parties
will start in the race with about even choices of
success, and the Issue will be dependent, ruasur
ably at least, upon the relative strength of the can
didates. As the political power of tha Senite will
depend upon the special election, both p ml -s will
make exhausting efl'orti to win. Shonld the Demo
crats succeed, they would secure the control of the
Menate for two years, as no political changes
re probable In the list of Semtjrs who will
retire at the end of the next session.
The air has been thick with rumors for a week
past of all sorts of pDlitlc.il combinations aiming a
disorganization In the Legislature. I do not ere lit
the intimation that there will be disaffection In the
organization of the Ssnate. If the Republicans hold
Watt's district, Speaker White a ad the other Re
publican oftlcers will be elected : but It Is a settled
fact that the power of the Cameron corrtiptlonista
Is broken, and they cannot rule the Legislature. As
Mac key has been made the objective point of (In
better class of Republicans who mean to overthrow
the Cameron ring, the Winnebago Chief
la evidently contemplating the sacrifice of
Mackey to save hlraBcIf. His organ has
thrown out a feeler la favor - of
ex-Senator Coleman, of Lebanon, for State Trea
surer, and If the proposition Is responded to favora
bly Mackey will be thtust aside unceremoniously,
and Coleman will be offered to pull the ring chest
nuts out of the fire. Colemau is a mere creature of
Cameron, without half Mac key 'a Independence or
ability, and as he is laboring under the delusion that
Cameron will nominate htm for Governor In ls72, he
will obey orders and run for Treasurer If the chief
of the ring so decides. He is wealthy and hospita
ble, And is a convenient friend. When Cameron
persaades dignitaries to visit hlni, to keep up tho
appearance of reputable btunding away from home,
he has them dlnel and elegantly enter
tained at Coleman's free of cost,
lid thus takes tlia credit, and Coleman pays
tho bills. Should Coleman be made the candidate,
much of the positive strength of Mackey would be
lost, the caucus nomination would be doubtful, and
It 1h probable that another (70,000 would have to be
paid and promised to receive a nomination that
would not en an re an election. Altogether the clouds
are thickening around tho Cameron plunderers. It
Is the well-settled purpose of a compact body of
Independent Reform Republicans to sweep the
Cameron riug out of power, and it will be
done. Considering that the Republican
majority on joint ballot is bnt
eleven, and that there are four members of the
Mouse re-elected who bolted laat year, it Is easy to
calculate how easily the success of Cameron can be
defeated The signal rebuke he received from the
people at the late election, the President's evident
distrust of htm, and the palpable decline of his power
both in the state and with the administration, em
bolucn honest men to grapple with him ; and freewill
bo defeated in the Legislature, and the successor
. constitutional reform will heal the running sore of
infamy with which ho has blo'.teJ the good name of
Pennsylvania.

Mr. Barclay's" Address. The address of Mr.
James J. Barclay, the President of the Mouse of.ite
fuge, which was delivered in September last, at the
laying of the corner-stone of the new bnlldings lor
the white female department of that institution,
has been published in neat pamuhlet form by order
vf the Board of Managers. The address is of the
greatest interest to all who are at all interested in
the welfare of our public institutions.
Mr. Barclay is an authority on all such subjects,
being well acquainted with all fcts appertaining to
ur publn charitable snd reiormatory lnstltations.
lie has been connected with the institution of which
he is President for many years, as well as with many
others ol a similar character. He is also a hard
working member of the Prison Society, and is deeply
Interested in the welfare of our prisons and their
Inmates. Our Deaf and Dumb Asylum is also the
recipient of his especial care. His reputation as a
philanthropist Is well known. The address deserves
the careful attention 0 all.
'New York to Jerusalem" is the subjjct of the
ext Webt Arch Street Church lecture, on Monday
evening, liev. J. Hyatt Smith, one of the most dU
tingulhhed clergymen In the Baptist Church, is the
lecturer. He was formerly a pastor In this city, but
now rt sides in Brooklyn, where he has become im
mensely popular by advocating open communion in
the great Baptist Church. His book called "Open
Door" has produced m wonderful sensation. He is
an earnest and eloquent speaker, and those who
kave heard this lectnre pronounce it full of (uterest
ntl entertainment. Like the lectures of Riv. Dr.
Reed and Rev. Frank L. Robbing, we know this will
prove a suoceas and be eminently satisfactory.
Licturb om Prussia. The Grand Army Relief
Association Las organized a course of lectures, the

liow, prices have bten!owly b;it s'eadily declining
for more than a month past It is expected that the

the prices of last nnnth, which were lownr than

still further 01 pressing tendency. Tue rites of
freiRhv by coastwise vessels from this port are now
tending stroncly upward. The c'.oing ratws were
the htghestof the week.
The dlilerence between the present prices and
those of ihc same time iast year is very marked at
will l seen by a comparison of the figures. At this
time lan vear Ihigh coal sold In New York bv th

correspond very nearly to those of New York bath.
ror last ytar ann mis.
. Last year, by reason of the hUh pries, the eirs of
the public generally were nssailed wlui uoca'ling
coiiiplaiuts of the terribly high prices of coil. This
come frnm the consumers, who kept up an unceas
ing grumbling, and with some reason. This year,
by i anon of the low prices, the conUiiirs are kfpt
quiet, but the merchants and all those connected
with the trade likewise try their hand at thn grum
bling business, m.d with some reason u!so, and are
perhaps more successful in raising an unearthly
hubbub than their brethren tie consumers. Thus
It always is, under the preaent system
of managing the production and aalo of th om
modity. Miners, operators, carriers, merchaits,
middlemen, dealers, and consumers ftU havo an
taert nisilc inteiestf, and it is perfectly lmt issitile 10
satlnfy them all. Ti e uiau or men vlio will invent
and perfect a t-ystem by which the several interests
wilall be looked after to tome extent, iniy feel
sure of a token of esteem from nil pintles. As far
as tho consumers are concerned, they won'd not
make sucli a noise at high prices if the high prices
came naturally under a fair system, giving
a fair profit to all through whose hands
the coal passes. Urder the present sysUim,
When a raise takes place, the consumer cannot
help but think that he is being mudo the victim of
a combination which ia trying to raise prices for
private speculating purposes. He therefore must
necessarily object, though In some cases (not all by
any means) there Is no cause for such objection.
But if he knew to a certainty that coal could not be
mined, shipped, and put into the market with a rea
sonable return for the. labor to those engaged in the
traile, nt a price which satlsiies him, he, if ha werj
a representative of the majority of consumers, would
pay a higher rate without remark, looking upon it
as unavoidable.
The following Is the summary of t'ie trade for the
past week from the Pottsville it inert' Journal of to
clavt The quantity sent bv rail Is ST.7S2; by canal,
81.2M; for the week, 119,1161 tons, against l.io.Bta for
the corresponding week laat year. The trado is ex
ttenicly dull, and it is diillcult to sell some sizes at
almost any fncn. It has consequently declined
abont 1 1,000 tons from this region for tho week,
while It is largely on the Inereaso from ttie other
regions. Many of our operators will close their
collieries alter this month, as there U
110 hope for the demand Increasing
this fall again. The lame increase thrown into the
market has fully supp.ied It except at points where
coal can be received during the winter mouths, and
there stocks will not be laid In. Tho anttrac.te

"it is tiue, the trade of the Reading Road was
'. 'gcly diminished by the long suspension, but It
was never supposed that the Iehigh Valley Road
would so soon catch up to it in coal tonnage.''
