Development of the Mineral tlegouttee Of
Pennby iVAIda.
7o the Editor of The Tress:
Sin: No tilbject &Wawa so much attention, at
present, as the development of the vast mineral re-
Ilkaurces of our la_oemonw...alto and country. A few
years ago, as is wed kn..wa to every Intelligent
reader, a number or companies sere orgsuized in the
p r i nc i pa l D o w n and Western cities, for the pur
pose o f ascertaining the value and extent of the
copper and iron de; (nits in the Lake Superior re
gion—the result or which. the public are aware, has
been th e production of immense quantities of these
and other equally valuable minerals, adding largely to
the material Wealth of the country. and contributing
no little to the interests of the industrial classes.
While these organizations at the outset were almost
universally decried, and their originators derided as
reckless and visionary speculators and adventurers,
the experience of the last few years attests toe wis
dom that prompted the investments. Ming f c oo
paratively limited means have realized PtlY for
tunes ; the stocks have been sold at au almost
unprecedented premium, and many of them are no
longer on the market. There facts are significant.

To the Editor of The Priss :
SIR: 1 observe that in the recent message of our
worthy Mayor tp the City Councils, when speaking
of the Girard Coal Lai de he suggests that leases be

by advertising and fair competition, having, sie may
be Witt - red, especial reference to, grantisig tBAM to

a supetticial view of the case, seems an obvious line
of policy to be pursued for the benefit or the city,
but I think it can be shown in a very few wordsthat
it would bean et ronrous policy, and that the matter is
not properly understood ,+y the Mayor. When A man
has an article for sale, say a house, or anything else,
his interest Trill at once dictate that the highest bid
der is the best customer, on the supposition. of
course, that the cash is - to be paid down for it. That
is a clear and clean transaction. But, in the leasing
of coal lands, the ease is a very different one, al
though it might seem to tie the same. The highest bid
der might be the very worst lessee the city could get,
and the chances are ten to one that such would he
the case, for the reason that a m an wno thoroughly
understood the business of mining coal would not
risk so much. One man who may promise to pay,
aay 60 cents per ton as rental, would nor, in all pro
bability, produce as much revenue to the city as
another one who would pay hut 25 cents. This re
sult would Anse from the tact that the former did

:Passenger Railways vs. Colored Persons.
To the Editor of Vie Pre.B :
SIR : " Straws show the way the wind blows, ,,
and little incidents in everi, day life show how the
current et' popular feeling begins to set, as certainly
as mess meetings and public resolutions,
As the WEER Philadelphia can came down Mar-

speedily hustled the poor fellow out into the rain.
One gentleman, alter vainly remonstrating, said,
"if he can't ride I won't." and lett the cars. Ana

"Gentlemen, let us all get out," said another, suit
ing the action to the word, and all would have got
len out, but that the few who remained, believing
their testimony in the ease would do no good, as
none of the officers of the company were present, de
clined doing so.
In making this statement it is not intended to
throw any special blame upon the West Philadel
phia Railroad Company, for it is believed their
rules this regard are not more etti,gent than the
other companies, but merely to show to the direct
ors of our passenger railways that the public feeling
which is rapidly devel.ping itself on this subject
will soon insist that come modification should be
made in the rule, " Colored persons not allowed to
ride in this car," by ptovlding a car in which they
may ride, or by permitting the conductor to relax
the rule where A rea,ieriti of the passengers deaireit.
The little incident above narrated shows a healthy
change in public sentiment. Two years ago a gen
tleman would have been more likely to invite a de
cent dog to "come in out of the rain" than • nigger.

THE GREAT UNITED STATES SANITARY
Fain —Preparations are now in active progress for
the Great united States Sanitary Fir to be held in
Logan :Square, in the leafy month of June. Every
body seems to take a lively interest in it, to make it
so great a success as to far ecripae any other thing
of the kind that has ever taken place in this sotto
try. The authorities of the State of Delaware have
already taken action in the matter, and that gallant
little section, the tint that came in under the Con
stitution, and the last to go out of it, will 113 its
share in the great display. New Jersey, whose
loyal eons hare been foremost in the battle for hu.
man right, but who have not yet been obliterated by
the rerdimis that poisons the atmosphere of that
State, will alto respond in an effort that will reflect
credit upon the lot a/ people there. Pennsylvania,
the home of patriotism, will respond in a style that
will make the people wonder. Its mouutains, hilly
and valley a echo and reecho the shouts of devotion
to our country. Among the mountain homes, in
the cottages of its pleasant vale, the inland cities,
towns, and villages, the ou.y note of preparation
may be heard, ar d in a short time the result of all
this labor will be wen, at d felt, and heard, in and
around and about Logan Square.
The great United states Sanitary Fair, though
the last of the present series, will be the first in im
portance and resources. We might state, in this
eennection, that fairs are of very ancient origin:
The precise date, and the specific object of the first
fair. is a subject for the curious inquirer. In the
nardie ages, annual gatherings were held in appoint
ed places, where people from a distance were in the
habit of congregating to exchange fabrics of all kinds
veith each other. These were doubtless splendid
specimens in their way. This custom still survives
in the interior of South America, and in Costa
Rica, San Salvador, Gus emelt, and elsewhere.
Europeans visit these C0111:1• ries every year with car
goes of foreign roods, and, carrying them to the ma
nual fairs, there Exchange them for the products of
the country. In other lanes fairs have degenerated
into the gathering of the vulgar rabble to witness
the buffooneries of mount.n.nka and harlequins
atoned tawdry btoths. In this country the eastern

exhibitions held under the atDpkcee bf State agri

omit institution.
It is now reserved to the people of Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, and Delaware to inauenra , e a fair of
mammoth proportions for the benefit of our brave
soldiers who may be sick and wounded. The success
of other fairs has quickened the spirit of citizens
elsewhere into holding similar displays in other
cities, each trying to outdo tee last, and all success
ful beyond previous calculetion. The Chiaago North
western Sanitary Fair was the first of these im
mense undertakings, and was open two weeks. It
was followed by a New Eugland Sanitary Fair, held
in Boston, for only one week The Bostonians beat
the Chicagoans just about sine hundred per cent. in
receipts. The next rival wts Cincinnati, where the
Great Western Sanitary Fair was opened on the 21st
of December. It was lEpt open for three weeks in
the main departments.
On the 22d of February four of , these peculiar,
moneymaking instftutiona were opened in Brook
lyn, Buffalo, Albany. and Cleveland respectively.
Three others are now on the Lapis—the first of these
at New York, is now open, she second at Baltimore
on the 19th of April, (anniversary of the firing on
Massachusetts soldiers), And the next in St. Louis
on the 17th of May next. But the last and grandest
of all will he that in our own beautiful oily of
Philseelphla in June ensuing. Strawberries will
then be in season, and all nature
will be clothed In
its most attractive flowers and foliage.
So far as we have learned, the receipts of six of
the fairs already held amount in the aggregate to
$1,002.000, as fAlows:

awakened among all Glasses. Tile treasurer has al-
ready received sums ot money on account of the fair,
and is in daily receipt of contributions. All over
Pennsylvania the interest aroused by this enterprise
is encouraging. Auxiliary societies have been termed
in some sections, and we hope will be formed in
other places. The response from Delaware and New
Jersey has been gratifying- Several church organi
zations have signified their willingness to act in
concert with the managers to promote the success of
the fair. The ladies of this city are already working
like beevers,preparing and &Ming work. We have

Assault with Intent to .I.E.LIL
George Riley Was arraigned before Police Magis
trate White yesterday, on the charge of committing
an assault and battery on John Sloan, with intent
to kill. The parties are soldiers. They were out
riding during the greater part of Monday, and drank
freely of ardent spirits. A dispute arose, and the
parties separated. Riley obtained more liquor in
the later part of the day, and towards evening pro
ceeded to the residence of Sloan, who was seated at
the supper table. Upon entering the room Riley,
with a knife in hand, rushed upon Sloan, and at
tempted to stab him, at the same time using an ex
clamation not polite. Sloan threw his hand up
ward, to ward off the blow ; he received the blade
in his band ; a pretty severe though not immediate
ly dangerous wound was inflicted. Mrs. Sloan, the
mother of the aggressed party, sprang to the assist
ance of her son, and prevented any-further effusion
of blood. The prisoner was held to bail in the sum
of $5,000 to answer at court.
[Before Mr. Alderman Beitler.:
Enlisting a. Minor.
Joseph B. Elliott, represented as a guardian of a
lad named Simon Gormley, was arraigned yesterday
on the charge of authorizing the enlisting of said
lad. The boy lives, when at home, at No. 2106
Shippen street. The case is not clear that the de
fendant is a legal guardian, nor is it known that the
bounty money had been received. The defendant
was, therefore, ordered to find bail in the sum of
$2,000 to await a further hearing.
According to the auarterly report of Mr. Buckley,
Of the detective police, this branch of the city ser

District Court—Judge Stroud
James S. Keen vs. John Hartman, Jr., and Mary
Ann Hartman alias Mary Ann Coleman. This wee
an action to recover damages for an alleged decep.
lion on the part of the last named defendant, Mrs.
Hartman. Plaintiff's allege that Mrs. H. having
then been married several days, signed a bond and
mortgage to secure the payment of certain notes
given by her father; she signing the instruments in
the name of Mrs. .131. A. Coleman, a widow, and re
presenting herself to be unmarried. Toe mortgage
was ultimately foreclosed by plaintiff, and the pro.
perty Cold ; but he failing by the proceeding to
realize the whole of his debt brought suit upon the
bond. On the trial of that case the defence set up
that Mrs. H., being married, was not bound by
the bond. the Judge (Hare) charged the jury
that "a married woman cannot bind /remit by her
bond, nor can she make it binding by calling herself
a wicow. And this will be so even when the decla
ration that her husband is dead, or that she is un
married is made fraudulently with the design of nits
leading the plaintiff whom it actually deceives, and
who would not have entered into the contract but
for the deceit. For, although a married woman is
' answerable for a fraud practised to induce another
to contract with her, yet the proper remedy is an
action of tort Tor fraud, and not of debt, or as•

plaintifftook a writ of error to the Supreme Court,
where the judgment of the Diann Mutt was af.

The present action was then brought, the defence
to which was that the bond and mortgage were given
to take up certain notes of Mrs. Hartman's father,
who well insolvent, and that she was led to believe
that her real estate only would be held liable. Ca.
der this belief, she made no opposition to the fore
closure of the mortgage, and only came in with a de-
fence when it was sought to make her personal pro
perty, liable.
