Letter from Mnuclt Clinnk.
An rrM, rimnlt is utmin in lis normal
state, things are as dull as they well can be.
And what else can bo cxcted from a town
without industries, only noted because it
shares witli Bethlehem tho honor of being
partly headquarters of tho Lehigh Valley R.
R. Company. But what does that amount
to? The impression that Mauch Chunk has
seen its best days is general, but that it will
over sink to tho level of Hockport I don't
apprchendi ....
The Lchighton- and Wcissrtort butchers,
who attend tho Mauch Chunk market, have
nobly distinguished themselves during the
week by a reduction In the price of meat I
For years our citizens have remonstrated
against the imposition of the butchers with
out effect) but no sooner had they been op
prised that one of tho craft, who had reduc
ed tho priccj had sold out in nUvanco of all
the rest, then they, of their own free will,
made the concession so frequently and un
successfully demanded before. With tncat
once more at a reasonable figuri) It would bo
eminently fit if boarding bosses were to r
duco their charges and landlords the rents;
and since all win nave to come uowu ui uuj
rate, they could not do it moro gracefully
than now. That thero will soon be a break
in the rate of rents may be confidently pre
dicted, as the number of untenanted houses
is daily increasing. That this reduction, in
view of the fact that some twenty butchers
frequent our market, implies quito a saving
to the community is sell-evident. In fact I
doubt whether there exists a town that beats
Mauch Chunk in so far as the consumption
of moat is concerned. Indeed I well remem
ber tho timo when no less than thirty-one
butchers from .your neighborhood visited our
market regularly three times a week and
all made money then. But those days aro
past, and I doubt whether any of thcin wil(
get ricli very fait after this week's reduction;
Witli milk, also, Mauch Chunk is well
supplied, and tho nttmbcr of those engaged
in the trado would seem almost incredible
to a person not potlcd in tho matter. Many
claim that the price of milk, too, would bear
a reduction, an insinuation stoutly resisted
by tho vendors, who however have not had
tho heart to raise iriilk tho heretofore cus
tomary two cents per quart, and the price is
likely to remain eight cents per quart all

The Coal TrrtOe.
Tho anthracite Joal trade is without spe

about tho period i'hen the trado is expected
to slacken off, tie supply has necessarily
lessened and thedemand is light. In addi1
tion tho very Icavy rains a week or ten
days ago havu s flooded many of Iho mines
as to prevent oJeration in tlieirt) wire it over
so desirable. Even in some- mihes above

time eight inilbs above thi rails) tho natu
ral drainage bang unable to carry it off as
fast as it accumulated. . In others It has fill

while still obcrs, though ablo to keep tho
workings clary have been forced to uso all
their steam n pumping ahd had none left
for hoistinf) coal. Alwut a dozen of tho
rhiladelpha and Reading- Company's col
lieries haW been compelled to stand idlo
from one U several days bach on account of
the water,and n number of tho mines ope
rated by iidiViduals have suffered interrup
tion fromtiic satne cause. Throughout all
bf tho scral coal regions tho superabund
ance of ater has proved a great inconveni

and ii,'fear of a short eilpply of coal tho re

necessary to close tho moro expensive col

Onr Ncvr Orleans Letter.
New Okmins, Nov. 17, 1867
The Washington correspondent of tho Ncv
York Associat'-d Press now and then relieves
the heaviness of his disjutchesj by on oc
fasioual pun, epigram or descriptive expres
sion. His latest was that tho Administra
tion was an "emotional" one, thereby con
veying tho idea that tho President aud his
Cabinet were subject to spasms of a most ex
traordinary and unaccountable character,
during which tho most unexpected things
were liable to occur. This vie of tho mat
ter is peculiarly applicable to New Orleans
and the Federal appointments here. S.z
months ago he astonished ds by the appoint
ment of Judge King Collector of the l'ortj a
man though a native, utterly unknown in a
political tenri ritid having but ono friend,
the all-powerful ono Anderson, who attain
ed his appointment Wednesday last, ho
supersedes Kirig) niid again proceeds to elec
trify us by tlie substitution of tho name, of
Eilinguam Lawrence, which now hangs fire
in the Seriate with Conklin keeping the em
bers bright. Lawrence is a native of this
State, a wealthy sugar planter, of an honor
able line of ancestors. In 18i2he forgot h'i
obligations to his State and name, and since
has been understood as tho bosom friend of
Warmoth. He is a man of small abilities,
and would only be a plastic instrument in
the hands of the young ex-Governor, the
wiliest ana ooiaetv ol an tne carpei-uagpon-ticians
in this ilato. There can bo no more
obnoxious a-.inolntmcnt than that df Law
rence, for the reason that it signifies the rule
of Wonnoth among tho elements which late
ly composed tllb Republican party in this
Stale, It is not quite clear that the nomina
tion will b confirmed, and its rejection
would afford general satisfaction in this
community. Packard would bo much more
acceptable, and it is thought ho would have
been appointed had he not so stubbornly de
clined to call upon the President while in
Washington. Th sprninrramts fcrrmirts
have completely demoralized parties, and
tho fear that Warmoth is again toipg to hold
the Whip hand, is tho greatest fear.
Latterly wo havo been rocoiving largo
shipments of grain and other commodities
from tho West, which have heretofore found
passage on tho lateral lines of railroad for
tho Atlantic sea-board. All indications go
Waliow that the- West Is opening up tho
long tauten oi commercial union wim mo
South, and somo pf our capitalists hore aro
preparing fleets of barges lor tho business.
Captain Eads is interesting himself, in this
direction, and having tho advantages of tho
Mississippi as the natural highway to tho
sea, gram can be carried from Cairo to this
city for three cents a bushel, arid leave a fair
margin of profit to tho owner. It is facts
lixe'this which scorn now to influence wes
tern shippers, and should the shipments In
crease nnd promiso permnnency, lines of
steamers will bo established between here
nnd Euroiw for the rdrriago of tho surplus
product. This is what New Orleans calls a
hopeful outlooK, and when this is supple
mented witli an exjiectAlfoh of again open
ing up tho South American trade, you will
i.O'. bfamo us if wo thought tho prosp:ct is a
favorable one. Dissatislaction between the
grocers and jobbers of New YorK.Cincinnati,
St. Bbuis and Pittsburg, gives hops also that
New Orleans may becoino the entrepot of tho
coffeo tradcind purchasers will resort there.
At tliis time travel to New drlcans is
rather light, exceptionally so. Druhiiriers
cannot afford to pay the heavy and stupid
tax imposed upon tlicm by tho city goVern
mcnt,and unless their prospccUnro unusual
ly brilliant, will strike wide of us. Invalids
ami others who aro accustomed to winter
here, constitute tho greater part of our visit
ors. Tho city is yet dull. Just now tho cotton
trado is receiving an impetus, and sales and
receipts are on tho Increase. Tho Courts
hart all opened, and tho machinery of jus
tice, or whatever clso you call it, is at worx.
Tho trial of tho Returning Board will proba
bly como off this month. W
