LRIUUUTON, rA.t
AATORDAY MOtlNINCl, JANUARY 6, 1878.
Governor Hartranlt and lady will hold
their urst reception on Thursday evening of
next wick.
A. reduction of wages on the Jcrssy Ccn
lr.il Itallroad ia announced at New York
until Letter times. It is thought the em
ployees will ba wise enough to avoid another
fruitless gfrilte.
Tho argument ltet of cases to bo taken
up by tho Supreme Court at their Philadel
phia term, commencing on Monday next,
hfs just been issued. It contains In all 320
cases.
The losses by firo during November
were exceptionally heavy, amounting in tho
United Mates and Canada to $7,210,000, on
which the insurance losses were $4,850,100.
These figures are much heavier than for
November, 1876.
Lehigh Valley Railroad officials deny
the New York Herald report that tho Loco
motive Brotherhood engineers will bo dis
charged. It seems, tho Herald says, the
organization is going to pieces becauso of tho
heavy assessments growing out of tho late
strike.
In the city of New York,during Decem
ber, ono hundred failures and assignments,
with liabilitiesagsregatingncarly $8,000,000,
were reported. This Is tho heaviest record
of the kind for any month of 1877, and tho
figures show an increase of 25 percent, in
amount on the list for November.
Both IIousc3 of our Stato Legislature
met at noon on Tuesday last. In tho Senate
Thomas V. Cooper, of Chester, was chosen
Speaker pro (cm. This being tho adjourned
session of tho Legislature of 1877, with but
few exceptions the officers of both Houses
are the same as last year.
The expenses of the July riots in this
State says tho llarrisburg 1'atriot, are not
fully known to tho public, but from bills
filed it is safe to place them at $700,000. The
pny of tho troops will amount to about $310,
000, their subsistence $110,000, and trans
portation over $100,000, while tho balance
will bo made up in medical stores and other
expenses.
According to tho reports of tho crops re
ceived at tho Department of Agriculture, the
wheat crop of this country for 1877 was
about 300,000,000 bushels, or about 50,000,000
bushels greater than for any previous year.
The corn crop is estimated, from tho samo
reports, at 1,300,000,000 bushels. The crops
of oats and potatoes were correspondingly
large. Of tho wheat, it is estimated that
110,000,000 bushels can bo spared for export.
Hon. F. W. Hughes addressed a green
back meetingat the Court house, llarrisburg,
on Saturday evening last. Tho speaker de
nounced both the great jmlitical parties and
was very caustic in his allusions to the Re
sumption act, which he considered a villain
ous law, and to whoso operations ho attribu
ted much of the prevailing distress. Tho
meeting was large, tho speech of considerable
length, and greeted with frequent outbursts
of applause.
Tho Working Men's Congress, at New
ark, N. J., held an open session on Saturday.
Two members were expelled for joining tho
Republican party. Tho name of the organ
isation, which claims 72 sections and 7000
members, was changed to the "Socialist La
bor Party." A platform was adopted, de
claring a working man's party necessary,
because other parties givo no relief; recom
mending tho formation of trades unions
throughout tho country, and favoring tho
repeal of all laws against labor combinations
and strikes. A resolution against Coolie la
labor was also adopted.
Tho announcement Is made by the New
York Tribune that a telegram was on Wed
nesday received by a New York bank from
the officials of a prominent Western city re
questing a temporary loan of $100,000, to bo
secured by revenue bonds in anticipation of
receipts from taxes. Tho answer returned
was: "We refuse to make any loans of cur
rency pending tho ogitation over the Silver
bill. Wo will make loans in gold at 0 cr
cent." Several similar instances of refusals
of applications from Western towns for loans
are reported. Ono for a loan to a leading
Ohio city was Friday declined by a promi
nent banking house in Philadelphia. Thus
the silver agitation recoils ujion its Western
promoters.
Onreforcnco to the proceedings' of tho
Poor Commissioners, it will bo seen that
they have selectod as a site fur tho jwor
house and buildings a tract of land situate
on Bear Creek, in IVnn Forest tuwuship,con
taining about 300 acres, for a consideration
of $900. The location is about four miles
back of East Mauch Chunk and somo eight
miles from Lehightou. There are some
parties who express much dissatisfaction
with tho selection of this site, but then there
would have been thesaino expression of dis
satisfaction at the selection of any other
property for tho purpose. At tho time it
was firet proposed to have a poor farm in
Oil district, all were in favor of unimprov
ed land tho Commissioners have followed
out what they believed to bo tho wishes of
the people In making tho selection, and now
tho people "PpjSBto have changed their
view J, and woujdlprefer that they, the Com
taissiontrs, should liave selected one of the
several Improved tirras offered. Take tho
map and ynu will fad the property chosen
to be as nearly centrally located in the nsw
district t It ccald paiiar well be for the
purpose. Tho Commissioners could not
locate in every township, neither could they
bo expected to satisfy every one In the choice
of a site
Governor Ilartronft Bent his annual
Message to tho Legislature Wednesday. Tho
affairs of tho Commonwealth arc shown to
bo in a reasonably satisfactory condition, but
tho Governor recommends the creation of tho
office of bank examiner and commissioner.
A great portion of tho Messago is devoted to
a narrative of the events of tho July riots
and suggestions regarding tho prevention of
a recurrence of similar troubles. It also
recommends the passage by the Legislature
of tho act prepared by tho War Department
at Washington designed to facilitate tho
transfer to tho United States of tho titlo
to tho Antotam National Cemetery.
Our Washington I.pllre.
WisiiisiaTOM, Dec. 31, 1877.
Tue Capital The Climate The HWu'njfon
Monument The Patent Office,
Since tho adjournment of Congress for the
holidays, the National Capital has been
comparatively dull, and but littlo of general
public interest has transpired hero to write
about. Statesmen have scattered from the
arena of their famo,and thetidcof humanity
has temporarily subsided from its Capitol
flow and ebb. But few political callers dis
turb tho seeming serenity at tho Executive
Mansion j tho departments of tho Govern
ment are closed for business about mid-day ;
tho trade of tho city, as usual, creates no
great commotion j and there seems to bo a
general atmosphere of Christmas and hilarity
among tho young, and a quiet enjoyment of
it generally by other devotes of Santa Claus.
THE CLIMATE HERE.
For tho season tho climate hero is certain
ly delightful. Tho winter solstice is passed,
and yet we havo had no ico or snow. The
grass in tho numerous beautiful parks is
green, and tho atmosphere is comparatively
mild. Fires are a necessity for romfort, but
open windows often accompany them. Tho
streets and avenues are in a fine condition,
and are enlivened by splendid equipages.
Altogether this is a charming place for winter
residence, surpassed by no other in tho
country.
THE WAEIIIXOTOX MONUMENT
Tho Washington Monument Association,
and tho committee appointed by the Govern
ment to investigate tho condition of the
unfinished shaft and its foundation, have, it
is understood, Eettled their controversies, aud
determined to completo tho structure on its
present site, to a height of about four hundred
and eighty-five feet. They have concluded
to adhere to tho outlines of tho original
plan, with jierliaps colossal panels abovo tho
base, and to secure further legislation as
soon as jiossible, in regard to tho hundred
thousand dollars appropriated by tho last
Congress to completo the monument, so that
tho foundation can bo strengthened, and tho
work so long delayed be commenced at an
early day.
THE PATENT OITICE.
Business in tho Patent Office is on the
increase, notwithstanding tho hard time",
and tho damage by firo aud water to the
building and its contents. The cash receipts
for last month are said to exceed tho receipts
for tho corresponding month of last year, by
ten thousand dollars, aud to be greater than
for that month in any previous year since
the establishment of tho office. This state'
ment exhibits thogreatand growing interest
in inventions, which are not only the sources
of considerable receipts over expenditures to
tho Government, but are also the founda
tions of enormous wealth to the nation, from
consequent increased production. No other
bureau authorized by Congress is of greater
importance to tho people at large. Hero tho
jxwr workmgman and tho rich manufactur
er are on an equal footing. Either can
secure his rights of invention with tho
privilego of making it profitable, without
fear or favor, for tho iwriod of seventeen
years, on tho simplo condition of paviii:
certain small expenses and making a public
record of tho invention, to bo taken advan
tage of generally without tribute at the
expiration of that time. No law is of more
general interest than tho patent law, and
none should bo guarded with more scrupu
lous care from unwarrantable inroads of bad
legislation. B.
Tile Coal Trail.
Tho chief matter of interest in the anthra-
cito coal trado just now centres in tho ques
tion of "combination" or "no combination'
for the year 1 878, and as many years there
after as may bo for tho iutcrest alike of pro
ducers, carriers and consumers, for if each
of all tho interests named are not advantaged
it is not likely that that compact will stand,
and If any ono is oppressed by tho others it
should not stand. The seven groat carrying
companies and jiartlcs representing individ
ual operators havo had two or thrco meet
ings at New York, aud, it is understood,
havo so far ngieeil ujion terms us to leave
only the single point of allotment of percent
uau tu iiiuiuigu m men company lor tno year
yet to bo diiqKised of, and Wednesday of this
ween, ai tlio oiueo ol tlio Reading Railroad
Company, has been fixed as tho tlino and
plaou for tho settlement of that point. A
good and harmonious feeling exists omong
the several jiarties.ond the impiessioiiin tho
inuiu is general inai wiuuc Hilly consum
mated. It is manifest that all th
ing jiarties will bo benefitted by a mutual
arrangement that will save them from in
solvency and yet the consumers not be op
prid by unduly high prices of coal. An
evidence of the cll'ect on the coal market and
on price is told In tho auction sales of 75,.
000 tons of Scranton cool at New York last
week by the Delaware Lackawa una nml
Western Railroad Company. The sale was
largely attended aud the bidding spirited,
uuu, miat iiiuj uu uiucu us mrutcr evidence
oi uie general ueneunat the trade is here
after to be relieved of the ruinous miiim.!).
tion that is beggarinn almost every ono
largely interested in i), Is that an average
advance of 30 cents per ton was realized
over the prices of the last previous sale by
mo cuuio wiupanr m mo same piaco in
November last Thirty.six cents on the
price of a ton of coal, which maintains a
slnglo fire for about that number of days a
cent n day will scarcely bo felt by tho most
indigent of consumers, and yet it will co far
to reinstate the trade to a healthy condition,
preventing a general breakdown, to bo
followed by a condition of affairs that is
certain ultimately to put prices much higher
by limited protfurtion than they are ever
likely to bo under tho self-protecting ar
rangement now in contemplation. For these
reasons, and tho additional ono that it Is
believed that a revival of the coal trado will
tend directly to rovlvo almost all other
business pursuits, a strong desire la mani
fested In all walks of trado that tho parties
to meet hero on Wednesday will agree on
terms of an arrangement, and terms so fixed
and guarded as to assure tho public that tho
comiiact will bo lasting for its entire limit.
Of all things most to bo avoided just now is
an impression that a rivalry in tho anthra
cite coal trado is to bo continued through tho
next year. Such an event will force bank
ruptcy in many cases that liojio and confi
dence in a better future that a compact will
surely inspire might tido over, to individual
as well asgcneral advantage. The coal trade,
as usual at this period of tho year, is a little
dull, though tho reported conltimiingo of tho
Reading Itallroad for the week ending on
Saturday lust was 128,000 tons, of which
50,000 tons went to Port Richmond and 32,
000 tons wero shipicd thence. Tho orders
for coal among the operators in this city aro
quito full, and tho retail demand is good,
prices being fully maintained. Parties in
tho Schuylkill region havo been informed
by tho officers ol tho railroad that trade
there will bo suspended for a week or two
early in tho coming month of January.
