The copious fall or rain on Mon
day- evening did not prevent the as=
sembling of a large number of entbu
• siastic Republicans at Monrocton,
to participate in a torch-light proces
sion and listen:to someltble speeches.
Through the generosity of President
PARSONS; of the S. L:tt, S. R. R. Co.,
,Superintendent JUDD and Master
Mechanic Turn, of 'the Barclay R. B.
Co.,and Mr.Q.A.B.u.nwm,a tram was
placed at the disposal of those who
desired to participate in the meeting,
and severah ; ear loads from this place
availed theinselyes of the opportunity
• to unite with the enthusiastic, wide
awake people of Monroe in a demon
stration that has seldOm been equaled
;in that town. The company from
TowandS were met at the Depot by a
'very respectable procession headed
by a troop of filly horsemen bearing
torches, and escorted through the
principal streets Of the town, and
thence!' to the building where the
speaking • was to take place. , The
house was densely crowded lev'a most`!
attentive audience, who listened for
• more than two hours to the presenta
• tion of facts touching the pending
canvass in a manner to satisfy the
speakers that the ; auditors were not
only "almost," but entirely pursuad
ed that we have had enough of Dem
-I.ocratic reform rule. Mr. Dunois was
the first speaker, and fully maintained
the enviable reputation be has already
won as an eloquent, candid,and eon
' vincing speaker. Mr. BLAKSLEE fol
lowed with a speech of an hour's
length, full of stubborn facts not a
bit complimentary to the impudent
pretensions of tile Democratic party.i
The hearty cheeis which frequently
•
greeted him, evideneed.the strict at

YOUNG MEN.
U. wELLICIP ciiiicruut.
The " physical infirmities" , of our
friend G.H. Wzuzs, have caused him
to do an act of great wrong and in
justice to W. T. Awing, and an at
tempted injury to the Republican
party, which we are Sure he will re
gret when the "sober,second thought"
is allowed to predominate. We allude
to his circular in reference to his pro
fessional dealings with Mr. DAVIES,
whercia he attempts to show that Mr.
D. has betrayed his client's interests,
and will, if elected to the Senate,
be unfaithful to the' cause of the
Commonwealth and 'the people.,
These are serious ch,arges, involving
bath the personal and political_ integ
rity of Mr. DAV lES, and are unworthy
of Mr. WELLES, who, whatever may
be his "physical infirmities" and his
peculiar and uncertain mental organ
ization, we (10 not belieVe means to
do injuStiee to any man.
But in this•case, Mr. WELLES has
allowed his want of "knowledge and
experience of men and things in gen
eral " to cloud his judgment, while
.his positiveness of personal infalli
bility has led him . to a false cstitnate
of motives and to conclusions wpich
are pot justified 'either by his &M
-inas with Mr. DAVIES, nor by the
reputation of .the latter as'a citizen
and a meinbei of the bar.
The grievance Mi. WELLES brings
aninst Mr. DavlEs t is that the latter,
while retrained by him in a suit or
suits against the Railroad Company,
was employed by the- Company as
their attorney, • generally, for the
counties of Bradford, Wyo Ming and
Sullivan. Mr. WELLEs does not al
' lege that Mr. DAVIES was his counsel
generally, and he admits that' Mr.
DAvtzs had made a reservation of
his eases, and also that,at their first
personal interview he informed Mr.
W. of the fact that he had become
the attorney of the Company. Where
, upon Mr. WELLES beVaMC " diS l •
turbed," and convinced that he had
been betrayed by Mr. Mims, and
that the trusted attorney Was a pro
fesiional knave. Row far this un
warrantable conclusion was the result
of Mr. WELLEs' " physical infirmi
ties," or caused by the advice of the
"Superintendent of! Construction
of the Penn'a and N. Y. Railroad
Compithy. does not now matter, as in
either ease he has been led into an
incorrect estimate of 'the relations
between lawyer and client, and his
conclusions are not justified by the
facts nor by the usual customs of the
leg h fraternity.
It is not our purpose to defend the
reputation of Mr. DAVIES for person
al into!rilty nor for professional faith
fulness. He has been too long a cit
izen of , this borough, and is too well
known to the people of this county,
to inake'that necessary.
Nor is Mr. WELLEs' arraig,iimemt
r. DAvws sustained by the
jud: , ment of the members of the bar.
We make the positive assertion, that
taking . ;Mr., WELLEs' statement as
correct. no, respectable member of
the bar of this county, whatefer May
be his political associations, can lie
found who. will say that Mr. DAviEs
was in the sli! , htest.manner unfaith
ful to Mr. WELr.rs. It is no uncom
mon occurrence for lawyers to be
employed in eases both , for and
against the same person at the same
time. The parties are few who re
thin lawy=ers generally, and it 14 not
- considered unprofessional nor dis
honest for a law3erlto be employed
by and against a client. Those who
have had experience in the Courts
have seen WiLmot, AnAms, Er.wELL,
MEEet'it and other lawyers so en
,:a;-.cd. conducting cases and argu
inent at - the same term, with a party
both as client and opponent.
When . the Railroad Company de
sired the legal services of Mr. DA
! \AI'S. it was not necessary for him to
ask Mr. IVEttEs if he might be so
eraPtoyed. But as became an honest
malt. Mr. I).tviEzs reserved the right
to fry the cases of Mr. WELLEs
:o...ainst the Company._ No man with
arty experience of men and things
, reneral " would have concluded
. that to he an unusual or improper
' arran?•einent, and imputed motives
dkhonoral,le and dishonest. But
Mr. \l'EttEs probably remembered
the injunction of the Superintend
ent of Construetion," when he said,
f.r,Es, you' must match DAcgEs,"
and relying upon the well-established
reputation of the Superintendent for
shrewdness And integrity, he 14ame
satisfied that the warning was.liwell
-1
timed.
The Democracy are circulating
Mr. W E circular in jlarge
numbers over the county, in hopes
that the inuendoes and charges there
in contained - may affect some voter
who is prejudiced against the Rail-
Iroad, or against corporations gener
ally. We trust that no. Republican
will he misled by such a shallow arti
free. The best - answer to all 'the
charges is . that 'the influence of ,:the
Railroad Company is against '31 . 1.
DAcks' election. The Republicans
of Bradford should consider that the
Senator to be elected this fall is cho
senr for the term of four years, and
I during that time a If. S. Senator is
to be chosen. Mr. DAvtEs is . worthy
of the confidence and support of
every Republican. He should receive
the vote of every man who is , for
lI.tYEs and Wninin, and who de
sires to pieseive the Legislature from
,the control of the Democracy.

EXTENT OF THE ANTHRACITE COML,
nEt.insiTs.
A writer in the, New-YOrk Tini4Y,
on " The Great Coal Problena,'c has
this to say of the anthracite coal
fields of this country : -
• ;"The area of the cool lands, and
the thickness-of the workable veins;
are completely known, The only
anthracite, except one small field, in
the United States, and certainly the
only anthracite east of the Mississip
pi found in seven'counties east of
the . Susquehanna River in Pennsyl
vania, viz., Schuylkill,: carbon, Lu
zerne, Colimbia, Northumberland,
Dauphin, and Lebanon: The largest
part of.the tract is'in Schuylkill, Lu- . '
zerne,
.and Carbon counties, where
the greatest mining operations are
carried on. The area is not continu
ous, but is broken up into several
fields, or valleys. The coal veins are
not alike in any two of these valleys,
and yet there is considerable similar
ity in the arrangement cif :the strata
and-the thickness of the different lay
ers of coal. According to the ac
cepted authority of Prof. 'Shaeffer,
of Pottsville. the area of lands eon
taiuing ; coal isi 470 square miles.:.
This landis - distributed between the
three coal-fields as follows: The first
coal-field, Which,- is the southern or
Schuylkill field,. 146 square miles;
the second or middle field, embracing
Shamokin, llabanoy, and Lehigh,
128 square miles; the,third, or Wy
cornin Valley field, 196 square miles.]
, ,7,
he veins vary considerably in thick
ness, but in some parts of the region
there are workable veins whose thick
ness varies from three feet to twenty
five feet each, and aggregates more
than 115 feet. Some of these veins
can only be reached, by shafts 1,7:00
to, 1,600 -feet deep. Several shafts
have been recently sunk to a depth
or, about twelve hundred feet, but
very little deep mining-has yet been
dOne, because the policy has been to
take out first the coal Most easily
and cheaply reached,. -The location
and thickness-of coal, are Evi. well un
derstood that it is not difficult to
make an approximate calculation of
the number 61 tons of the wliole de
posit, and Itroni that result to esti
mate the length of tithe required to
exhaust the entire coal area.
" This has been frequently attempt
ed and with a great variety Q f re
sults. I was quite startled by the
statement of a heavy coal operator
at Wilkeskr& that ,the entire de
posit would be work - e'd out in seven
ty-three years. Mr. Charles Parish,
President of the Lehigh and Wilbes-
Barre Coal Company, gave me an
estimate for the Wyoming region,
and said that that region, at the rate
of production stated, would last as
long as, any of the other fields. Ile
put the Wyomingt area at 25,000
acres, and said there could be mined
an average of 60,000 tons to the
acre. This would give an aggregate
of 1.50(1,000,000 tons, which divided
by 12,000,000, the annual caoaeity or
rate of production, gives 925. year
for 'the life of the coal business.'
This makes no allowancefor increase
of production which many. too san
guine persons think will be at the
rate of ten per,. cent. per annum.
Such an increase on the 'basis of Mr.
Parish's, estimate of the deposit,would
undoubtedly work it all out in sev
enty-seven years But the fault, as I
think, with this' estimate is, that it
doe's not take into account the pro-,
per . area. , If the Wyoming Valley
contains, as the standard authorities
say. 196 square miles of coal lands,
that Makes 125.410 acres, instead of
25,000,1 which would, using ithe -re
maining factors of the estimate, h
erease,the time td 725 years, instead
of 125.7

and characteristic reply was, " Push

lion. a. Tap... Attorney General, IVtt+h
ington, D., e. : '
Stn: I haVe l elayed giving you a report
of the recent unfortunate political riot at
a place nearthe town of Cainhoy, in this
county, until I could `get a direct state
ment Tot the facts. It is one of the legiti
matetresulbi of the intimidation policy,
or the 'Mississippi plan, tulopted by the
Democratic party in opening their cam
fOr, the purpose of breaking down
the Republican majority in!this State.
The' first 1 meeting in this county 'at
which the Democrats put their shot-gun
policy in practiee, took place over a month
ago, on the Cooper River, ; some ten or
twelve miles from the scene of the late
riot. The Republicans had' Balled a meet
ing, and theo)emocrats in the city char
tered a steamboat and took about ono
hundred and fifty well armed men to the
meeting. They formed their men in line
near the stand, and demanded that they
should have ;half the time for their speak
ers. The litliublicans did not relish this
kind of peaceful political discussion,"
but the request was backed up by 150
Winchester repeating rifles, in the hands
of inn who knew how' to ,use them, and
they consented to a division of the time,
Other meetings followed this with a
similar.display of arms, and in order to
avoid a collision which was imminent at
each meeting, the executive committees
of can't p,.rty arranged to have a series of
joint discussions, and agreed that . heir
people should not come armed to the
meetings.
Discussions in the county hid bcen,go
ing on with more or less of bitternessiand
animosity, mainly growing out of the fact
tha, the Democrats carried a large force
of men frotn the city to every meeting,.
who irritated the Republicans by their
violent denunciation of their leaders and
their party.
The meeting at the brick church near
Cainhoy, was called by the Republicans
and was largely attended by . the men who
were present at the' first nieet,ing„ at
which the Democrats had enforced their
deinands to speak,'.but had not attended
the joint discussions, and many of them
being suspicious of the Democrats, car
ried such guns as each man had tit his
house, consisting of
,old muskets, shot
guns, and . fowling pieces; bat no militia
men went there with State !arms and am-
Munition, as the Democrats claim; and
the best evidence of that fact is that. all
• the dead were shot with buckshot and
not .with rifle balls. •
When these colored people' arrived at
the place of meeting, their leading men
Old them that they were _violating tl.e
agreement ley coming armed, and that
they must tleposit their rums at some
place away from the grounds.'; The color
ed men col lied with the r4ptest, and
some guns, ay fifteen, were placed in an
old dilapidated building some fifty yards
'from the stand, and others were
across the Hvine in the woods.
About Vitt Democrats accompanied their
speakers fro 71 the city on the steamboat;
and soon appeared at the meeting. The
first speaker way a Democratic- Candidate

Ile was heard through very patiently.
Ile was folloiwed by W. J. McKinley, (col
ored) who was a delegate to the Cincin

Soon afte McKinley commenced speak
ing, a commotion was observed in the
crow on tluil side next the dilapidated
building, aria, McKinley jumped off the
stand andsaid, " Those white Wren in that
white househave guns at d are going to

and made a tush for the other guns.

this campaign be free from the presence

GREAT 'INCONVENIENCE.
ELIZABETH; • Oct.\ 24.—:The strike
of the Central Railroad engineers
and firemen has caused great trouble
and inconvenience here. Many busi
ness men living miles from the city
were obliged to walk from their
homes on the track, and many who
took late trains were forced to get
out at midnight when trains stopped
and walk back home or hire lodgings.
Col. Ricker.has gone to Phillipsburg
to .try to adjust matters:!The . Lehigh,
Valley road has, taken Central's pas
sengers to all stations connecting
with their road, The Pennsylvania
road has made all Central tickets
good as far as Philadelphia, ..and all
stations between here and New,York.
The feeling is. greatly nail* the'
engineers and firemen for causing the
public' to suffer such inconvenience.
RETORTED SETTLEMENT.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24.—T0-41a, only
three trains left by the Central Rail
road from New York for.Philadel
phis, and one arrived here from Phil
adelphia. ',All local travel was sus
pended. To-night the officers of the
road report that the difficulty with
the engineers and firemen has been
amicably adjusted; and trains will be

FINANCIAL CONSISTENCY.
IN New-York lie is the avowed and. ,
sworn enemy of the lawful money or
the United States,df it is paper. In
Michigan he is the author of lawless
money. which is paper: . • On the banks
of the lludson, Mr. Tilden shows that
gold is the only tit currency. By the
shores' of Lake Superior, he subjects
himself to imprisonment for three
years in the State Prison by issuing
a " spurious, worthless, and bastard
currency," as it was termed by the
Court.- lie was, shouting from the
house-tops in New-York that there
should be no money but yellow mon

his corporations. From the careful
reports that appeared in the Enqui

lie. No man who ever served in my com
