Although the rise has not been nearly so great at retail as at whc!esa!e thus far, the increase must come around shortly as the retail stock now on hand runs out. Cargoes bave advanced as much as five and six cents a pound. This condition of things is due not only to a short crop in Brazil, but the 9tock of coffee on hand is said to be less by a million bags than one year ago.

The application for tb? release or pardon of the Washington county coal miners con victed of conspiracy, which has been pending bpfore the board for some time, was refused. There may be a show of reason fr this action by the Pardon Board, but we confess our utter inabil ity to comprehend it. The petition for their rlase from prison was signed by fort j thousand people, and under the peculiar hardship of their case the re- fusil ot the Board to recommend them to Executive clemency seems to us to if a blui:d'-r wors than a crime.

Al'hoiigh this was not as much of a re duction as was made during the previ ous jear, when over a million of our Vate debt was wiped out, it hows that the heavy dent that has so ling hampered our prosperity is being steadily reduced. If the Legislature wm net its face against all unnecessary appropriations and exercise proper econ oray and reform in our expenditures, the present debt of the State will en tirely disappear before an almanac for he year !'. makes its appearance. On Friday last the Senate of the United Stales took up and passed with out deba'e the bill for tiie retirement and reco'Dage of the trade dollar. The, bill is substantially the same as the measure that has already been offered in the Ilous'on the same subject, and like it provides that until July 1, 17, trade dollars which are not mutilated, defaced or stamped may be exchanged dollar for dollar, at the United States Sub-Treasuries for standard silver dol lars ; the treasurer must not again pay them out, but must transmit them to the coinage mints, where they shall be treated and regarded at their bullion 'ue, and at such bullion value must be deducted from the amount of Lullion required to be purchased and coined under the act of February 28, 1S7S, and recoined into standard silver dollars. The two Houses being thus in accord ou the subject there cau be no doubt about the bill becoming a law. By a vole of .'') ayes to 22 nays the Senate on Friday last passe 1 the bill for the repeal of the Tenure-of Office Act. The reppa! of this act has long beeu a bone of contention in the Senate, the Democrats uniformly advoca' ing its re peal and the Republican majority firmly resisting it. The bill was originally passed in l-VT to tie up the hands of President Andrew Johns )n in making icmovals from effice. When Grant came into cfllce in March 1 he induced hii j friends in the Sonite to so modify it as j to enable him to remove ot jectionable ; incumbents cf rffice without any serious restraint. The act, however, still con- 1 tained many objectionable prov'sions i and materially hindered the President ; in the exercise of his Constitutional ; power of removal. The senate has at ' length yielded the point and left the i President's bands free and unshackled : by wiping the act from the statute hooka. ; The House will concur ami the long vexed ques' ion will thus be settled.

Father Fa hey, the Catholic priest who in the early part of September last was sentenced to six months' imprison ment in the Galway, Ireland, jail for refusing to give bail for his good be havior, was released from prison uncon ditionally on Monday last. It will be remembered that Father Fahey inter ceded with the agent of the Clanrikarde i estate;-! by the name of Lewis, in behalf of a number of tenants belonging to the priest's parish who were nnabio to pay their rents. Lewis threatened the ten ants with eviction and Father Fahey went to save them from being turned out upon the highway. Lewis treated him harshly and as he left he said b Lewis : "You are hard hearted towards God's pjor. Xay you repent of it." L"Mvi3 at once had the priest arres'.ed and charged him with threatening his life even going so far as to declare that Father Fahty said he would have him murdered. The magistrate ordered Father Fahey to give bail for his good behavior or go to jiil. He refused to furnish bail for the reason that it wi uld be regarded as an admission that the charge aeairst him was true, and he was accordingly imprisoned. There was great rejoicing by his friends ver his ielea3e and on Monday night the j cit' cf Galway was illuminated in his honor. The jury in the second trial of ex Alderman M.:Quade, of Xew York, who was indicted for accepting a bribe in l-13! in consideration of his vote in the board of Alderman in favor of granting the right, to certain persons to lay down strict raiiway tracks in some of the streets of Xew York, brought in a verdict of guilty on Wednesday cf last week. The recorder, before whom he was tried, sentenced him on Monday to be imprisoned at hard labor in Sing Sinz prison for the term of seven years and to pay a fine of five thousand dollars. Alderman Jaehne' who was convicted of the same offense several week3 ago was sentenced to nine years and ten I n;onthg imprisonment Both convic- tions were procured by two other Al- i dermeu of the same Board, Duffy and J Fullgraff, turning State's evidence and telling all about the corrupt and infa j mous transaction.

The conviction of McQuade wi!! exer cise a wholesome influence on other city officials throughout the country. The motion made in the lower House of Congress on Saturday last by Mr. Morrison to proceed to consider his tar iff bill, was defeated by a vote of 1 10 in favor to 154 azainst. Twenty-six Dem ocrats voted against nnd six Republi- j car s voted wUh Morrison, of the right Democrats from this State five votpd agiinst tho motion, and one, Dr. Swope, of Adams county, voted for if. Scott, of Erie, and Storm, of Monroe, were absent. Roth were for the motion, but were paired with two Republicans who were opposed to it. The adverse vote on Mr. Morrison's motion is not con strued at Washington to mean that there will he no legislation during the present session to reduce the enormrus surplns now in the treasury hich ia daily accumulating. A bill for tbat purpose which is said to meet with the ripr-rova1 of leading men of both parties, will b offered in the House at the re asPtriHirifr of Congress on the 4th of .Timirv.

He had been estranged from bis family for years, and ( wa9 b,7rie(1 aIiI1095 by charity. He had lived nearly a quarter of . century by begging what he ate, and what he wore, yet not verv long before his death his brother, Robert Treat Paine, of Boston, had said : '-James ouehr to be worth ?2."0,UU0 at least in his own right. j What, has become of it?" This ques- j Hon has p' zz'ed many a head since, and this is what Charles F. Chickerir.g, ! the piano manufacturer, answered yes terday. Ex Attorney General Leslie Russell, who, with Theodore Swift, is conduct ing the case for the heirs at law, cun ningly asked his opiponent, ex Governor Chamberlain, of South Carolina, if he had auy objection to the witness he was about to call, and was answered in the negative. Chickering then lifted up a big bundle, which he had been jealously guarding on his knee3, and walked up to be sworn. Putting the bnudle down beside him, in responce to Rus3el's bid ding to tell what he had ho began his tale as follows : "I knew James Henry Paine for years before he di?d. I was brought into communication with him through his love for music. He was an expf rt musical critic, and this poor old miser had at his tongue' end a wealth of irxbaiislible information. Bat thonch I had heard that tie was popu larly supposed to tiave money hidden away, I nvrr ready knew anything abou'. it. One day he came into my of fice with rt bundle in his hand. This is the bundle," pointing to the package beside him. "It was about a foot iong and six or eight inches wide. It was wrapped in an ordinary brown pap--r and tiea with an ordinary string. On the outside was carefully bound an old green handkerchief. He asked me if he could leave it in my possession, and I answered 'yes.' I told him I would put. it in my safe. lie objected to this, and asked me if I had a private s'tfe at home which none of my employes ever op-med. I said yes 'again,' and he carelessly re plied that he would like me to place it i thure. I "I took the bundle and locked it up, i ! scarcely ever giving the matter a i j thought again. Once' years after ward, j I met him In the street, and wt-re talk- j inc abonl Von Bulow, th pianist, who i had recently arrived in this country. ' Suddenly he interrupted me and asked i me if that bundle was all right. I said i 'yes ;' and he didn't allude to it again. ; In fact. I think be never spoke of it j again during his life." I The little old green bundle remained I hidden in th safe gathering dust and forgolteu Tor years. After I tie old i man's death Mr. Chickering remem i bered the package, and took it from its j place one day to see if it contained any : thing worth keeping. "I had supposed j it contain-.-d nothing more than some ! old musical papers," continued he, "and ! carelessly untied the string. Tearing open one corner I caught sight of a roll of bank bills. It seemed to me in ;! e hasty glimpse I caught that they must amount to many thousands of dollars. I tied the handkerchief together quick ly and took the next train for Bos'.on to j ppe Robert Trent Paine, whom I thought was the nearest living relative, He said that there were nearer heirs at law than he. and he named the Clag getts. On the 1st of March, in the presence of Sumner and Charlie Clag gett, and my attorney, we opened the packet. Gold and silver dollars, bank notes by the thousand, certificates of stock and script rolled out upon the table. The little old green handker chief for nearly twenty years had close ly guarded treasure amounting to over $400. UK.). About ?14,000 has become outlawed. The $40,000 which the cer tificates represented has been paid up to me as administrator by the Metro politan Bank. The remainder of the property is worth its full face value. There is more property which is not yet collected." Much more testimony was taken dur ing the day, including that of R. B. T. Wood, who for thirty years was em ployed in the Metropolitan Bank. He remembered, he said, as far back as 1SG1, when Paine had made a special deposit in the bank of ?40.000 and had received the certificates that were af terwards found in the handkerchief. They had been made payable to one of the officers of the bank, as Paine did not wish his name to appear. Ex Gov ernor Chamberlain then said thai in view of the day's disclosure he would apply to the Court for an increased bond on the part of the administrators com mensurate with the estate itself. The administrators have given bond to the amount of 1. 000 only. The case was tMen ad!onrnd till Monday. I'A R.NELL OX DUTY.

Th:- Irish Exec utive has formallv proclaimed the anti rent campaign. This ac' ion is accepted bv the leaders of the National ,-hgii as a'step onthe Government's part toward the suppression of the Ipague. The funds of the League have aliready been trans ferred to I rauce in order to prevent lnejr seizure by the authorities, and the rent moneys deposited with trustees will also be secreted to guard them against Government designs. The proclamation warns all persons that the inciting of tenants to refuse to pay or to withold rents is an illegal act, and the auti-ient movement, by what ever means carried out, is criminal con spiracy. It says that all moneys, re ceipts or documents given or received for the purpose of such conspiracy are liable to seizure, and that persons in whose possession the same are found shall be arrested. This sweeping meas- j ure is the production of Lord Ashbourne j Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and assent ,7 vo i'iuiiiuiuiivii i v mini i yesterday's Cabinet Council. It is hoped t that the EngliBh and Irish Home Rulers J will now rest until the meeting ot par liament, when early action can be taker in opposition to evictions and to restrain the Government's coercive activeness. In tha mean time, however, the Un ionist papers clamor for the immediate suppression of the National L?ague,anu even demand that trial by jury be sus pended in Ireland if the juries refuse to convict the advocates of the anti rent movement. Dublin, Dec. 10.

Ireland I ! contains 20"lo0.078 acres of land Of ! this one man owns 170,110 acres. One- ! third of the island belongs to only 202 . I persons and one-half to only 744. These j ' are the landlords against whom the i ! plan ot' campaign is directed. The re- : fusal of a whole peopH to pay rack-rent I to such an insignificant number of land- i lords calls for the displav of all It s : powers and force that exist in the Bru- j ifh Emt.ire. But it is not possible tha! all the force that can be brought to j bear will compel the Irish tenantry iu pay, Arresls of alleged tiustees will only make the people more determined and the violence of injustice wil: be de feated once again, as it always has been since English robbers stole the domains oi" Irish kings. It is one thing to proclaim the anti renl campaign, but, a very different thing to suppress p. For years the Irish tenantry have ti'.en paying their rents ; out of money earned in England or cor:- ; tnubtions sent from America. While the British Press hss been denouncing ; American contributions to the Irish j cause most of these have found their ! way into the pockets of English land- j lords in Iretand, This is the thing that j is to be stopped. In the future Irish- men are only going to pay rents based j upon the yield of their holdings. Noth- ! ing could be fairer. A whole nation ! cannot be expected always to give all i that they earn and all that they receive ' to a few avaricious landlords, and not i even the power of England, great a? it ; is, can compel a departure from what is : in fact a fair rent campaign except ny I the eviction and imprisonment or trans- I portation of a whole people, : The aggressive course of the present J British Ministry in Ireland is due to the j Unionists lather than to the Tories.

The case system of liquor selling is becoming popular, and every mail brines orders from all points through the South." Giibert A.

The passengr, who is a well known Boston merchant, rewarded the fin der for his honesty by giving him a drink.

That depends upon the Liver, for if the Liver i3 inactive the whole 553--tha tem is out ot order- breath is had, digestion jKXir, head dull or aching, energy and hopefu.lno.a3 gone, the spirits are de pressed, a heavy weight exists after eating, with general despondency and the blues. The Liver ia the housekeeper of tho health; and a harmless, simple remedy that act3 like Nature, does not constipate afterwards or require constant taking, does not interfere with, business or pleasure dur ing its use, makes Sim mons Liver Regulator a medical perfection. I have tetod H virtues personally, and know that for Dynpepala, iniiouHne8 arid Throbbing Headache, it in the bet medi cine the world ever Raw. Have tried forty other remedies before Simmons Liver Regulator, and none of them gave more than temporary relief, but the Kefciilatol not only relieved but cured. J H. li.
