WHAT THE anthracite miners propose
is that they shall receive one-fifth of all
the moneys the coal May sell for, reserv
ing the right to strike whenever the price
shall rale at less than five dollars a tun.
To these conditions, what are known as
the New York corporations refuse to ac
cede, insisting that to consent would be
virtually to take the miners into partner:
ship. In , addition, they protest that what
they desire is not a high market, but a
_certain and - constantly increasing' one.
If they can make ten per cent. on the
capital invested, and have a surplus suffi
cient to make the necessary extensions of
work, they profess to be better satisfied,
than to have a market violently fluctua
ting, sometimes very high, and then de
ddedly low. An average profit of a dol
lar a tun is whit they aim at. These
ideas, for a broad consideration of the
case, are altogether rational; but the
miners would be better satisfied With high
prices and a resort to strikes, aisa meas
ure of enhancement, whenever prices
droOp.
So far, there seems to be no probability
of the corporations and the miners com
ing tolls agreement. The corporations
say they will stand out all summer, and
the miners are equally resolute. It_ is
more than probable that the 'Combination
among the miners has for the first time
produced a combination on the part of
the companies. If this is really so, it is
difficult to determine in advance which
will yield to the other.
ASA PALICEB-WEALTH.
The Democratic candidate for Governor
is the richest man in this Commonwealth.
He is reputed to hold upwards of twenty
or dollars of property. Nor
did he acquire this fortune by trick or
chicanery, but in legitimate and honora
ble ways. In his own town of Mauch
Chunk—the rumors of the street, which
the rules of legal evidence esteem the best
criterion of a man's character, do not im
plicate him as having made deceitful or
otherwise discreditable gains.
He has demonstrated, moreover, that
he knows how to put money to higher
uses than to personal or family gratifica
tion and aggrandizement. He has in
vested largely in public improvements,
and glveikprincely sons for ; .educational
Oucational
endowments,
In all these particulars he may well be
taken as a model by all men into whose
laps the wheel of fortune has poured
abundantly, Seltpossessed and suave,
he has not been spoiled by his Swami
successes, but remains ea plain and un
pretending ss•when he wrought as a car
penter for daily wages.
But Mr. PACKER is not a man of ideas:
Neither be for himself; rpi his Most inti
mate friends for him, put forward - snch
claim. Take the dollars ,from him, and
he would be accounted by everybody a
very ordinary individual.• In the Lees
'stare and in Congress he was absolutely
undistinguished, because he was quite
out of the sphere he was'designed by Na
ture to occupy.
This is not an unusual case. By far
the larger proportion of men of wealth in
this country and elsewhere, are not con
spicuous for capacity , to reason, espectailY
la the higher realms of thought. Not a
few of them are so destitute of ideas, as to
excite astonishment at their success. For--
tune is notoriously a capricious jade,_and
taket delight in se dispensing laiors
as to make it impossible_not to recognize
her partiality. Moreover, the aptitudes
and habits by which vast sums of money ,
are . ordmarily obtained, are not such as

prise, standing at the head of this petite
ulatlint of traffic. As sleeping cars dtd
net kgree with him, he had been riding
bolt upright all night, a hardship which
did not comport with his 'advanced years.
Jestingly, we remarked that he probably
`felt constrained to undergo the fatigue in
order to support his family. Grimly he
answered, "I already have enough to
ruin all my children." "Why, then
keep on striving to get more" He re
sponded, "When I started in life, I de
signed to get a competency, and then put
my faculties to nobler uses; but when
competency was 'reached I found the
habits of trade irvadieably upon me, and
that, having no resource in philosophy,
art, literature, travel,, society or philan
thropy, there was nothing left for me but
to keep on and see how much I could
amass." His experience Is not uncommon.
! "Go to, now. ye rich men, •weep and
howl." "How hardly shall they which
have riches enter
. into the kingdom of
Heaven." With the triumph of Chris
tianity, it has become popular to dilute
passages like these - by subjecting them to
a paraphrase foreign to their obvious and
original sense. Every student knows In
ivhat condition of society, and to what
end, they were Written.
_Yet wealth has its uses. In a subordi
nate sense, it is well that large amount;
of property are concentrated In compara
tively few hands. It is difficult to con
ceive; except through sue arrangement,
how the peculiar enterprises that charac
terize modern society could be carried on.
Poor men certainly cannot build cities,
railways, telegraphs, factories, ships, and
all those poiverflil instrumentalities which
are the ripest products of civilization in
these later times. Only vast resources,
directed and controlled by a small num
ber of individuals, are competent to these
results.
When great fortunes are Wielded tor
these purposes, whole communities be
come partakers of the advantages.
Wealth thus becomes the source of em
ployment to millions. A railway king,
for instance, does more for the poor by
furnishing them with opportunities for
work and wages, than if he were to en
gage with munificent prodigality in indis
criminate alms-giving.
That Mr. PACKER'S money con-
tributed directly to his nornination,we are
informed by the taunts and insinuations of
the portion of his party that was opposed
to him. But this is clear, that but for
his wealth ,he would not have been
thought of in connection with this candi
dacy. The Democracy is ruled by
coteries of rich men, of the most exclu
sive social habits and surroundings ; and
it commonly happeis that outside of these
charmed circles few selections are made •
for eminent public stations. We have
no means for determining, with any tol
erable certainty, whether Mr. Pecnon's
money is to be used to promote his
chances of success. The expectation
that it would be thus used, was indulged
by many if not most of those who were
prominently enlisted in deciding the
choice of the. Convention in his favor
It may be that expectations, in that be.
half, will be brought to grief. But, it
must be remembered , that political enter
prises can no more be conducted without
money than enterprises of other sorts;
and that the day has gone :by in which
the people really designated the
men they would honor. Men now
engineer their own promotion. It
has literally come to pass that "he
that seeketh, findeth," and that few others
do. This innovation has disadvantages
for able men in whose organizations love
of approbation is small and self esteem
large. Such will neither fawn nor solicit,
and hence their promotion has fallen into
the category of the impossible. Nor do
we see why it is any more objectionable
fbr one man to seek public honors than
for another to enlarge his pecuniary gains
by drumming up customers for his goods,
wares and merchandir.e. This is the age
of self-assertion. ' Eighteen hundred
years ago the bait were gently helped
into the pool of cleansing: Now, If any
both.) , gets helped, he must first show ca
pacity and inclination to help himself.
This is ono of the mlnuter developments
of democracy, the end of which Is not
yet. It accords with this system of per
sonal solicitation and Self-advancement,
that the candidate should pay in large
part, at least, the cost of his election.
Why not? When a man makes the at
tainment of office an end, why should he
not foot the bill, just as well as when the
object of his ambition is a coach and span
or coach and' four? • If a man is differ-
ently constituted, and theists that he shall
be sought by the publla if his services are
wanted, why then the Oise is altered, and
they who do the wooing, must pay the
expenses, as in all analogous instances.
Mr. Pocrorn has captured the Democ
racy. He and the Democracy combined
have now . a harder task before them,
which is to capture the Cothintinwealtb,
if they can. That enterprise seems to be
quite beyond their endeavors.

Our readers will welcome the admira

the Convention of School Superin

said:

"Gentlemen of the Convention: I feel,

ing the permission and privilege to meet
with you for a few minutes this morning,
and to extend to you a most hearty wel

When I consider the business in which

of meeting has been insti

ki , :l4
insti
tuted, i n or de that there may be more
un i ty o f action Na this Commonwealth in
the oao f education. When I think of
the obj which is b, fore all as citizens
of this tate—the higft , duty devolving
upon al o
u?,
f us—l feeithAt we have rea
son to i ok to a higher power for aid in
the 'noble work in which we
are engaged, and I trust that power
will notdesert us in preparing the minds
of our youth, for better enjoyment of
our liberties. I regard you all as mem
bers of a grand great army. You, Mr.
State Superintendent, as a great general;
these as your staff officers the seven
teen thousand teachers of the State your
line officers, and the grand army in the
great contest between Intelligence and
Ignorance, Vice and Immorality, are the
children of thQ state numbering more
t;:lan tlglit hu ri dre d thousand. [Applause].
If this army is handled as it can. and
should be, I anticipate the most benefi
cial results in the cause of education.
I feel that this meeting is one of intellect
coming into contact with intellect, by
which all should be encouraged and
invigorated for the contest. and that
through such meetings, victory must
perch upon our banners eyentnally. But
we in this goneration cannot hope to
close the contest.
"Perhaps, to the last day of the world,
the contest between intelligence and ig
norance, vice and immorality, will con
tinue; but let us go on for the benefit of
the children, who are the property of the
Commonwealth. Education should not
alone be intellectual; it should also be
physical. Will our work amount to any
thing if we fill the mind with information
without cultivating the muscle to put it
into force? I see around me in everyday
life, men of muscular strength,tall, straight
and brawny. if intellectual men had such
bodies what an advantage it would be!
Do not, then,
forget the physical culture
of the school - children. It is incumbent
upon us to make a vigorous, hardy, strong
race of men. [Applause.] We should
build upon a physical foundation as well
as upon an educational one. The ques
lion may arise—How are we to accom
plish this? I reply, give your scholars
daily military drill and other kinds of ex
excise, and you will make them much
better men.
"I have a word of kindness for you
this morning. I have been a teacher in
my life. I know how meanly they are
paid, and how hard they are fagged. Let
us elevate the whole system, pay our
teachers better, and thus optain the high.
est order of talent. [Applause.] Give
us the best men you can, and make the
position of teacher one of the most hon
ored in the State. I took occasion to re
fer to this subject in my last annual mes
sage to the Legislature. If teachers were
paid better wages, better care would be
taken of our children. I feel that, a peo
ple so prosperous can afford to pay their
teachers well. We have done• a noble
work in the education and maintalnance
of the soldiers' orphans. We all appre
ciate this great cause. [Applause. ]
This work will be carried on
faithfully, but in five or six years,
at, most, the greater portion of that work
will have been performed. I feel, then,
that we can appropriate a million more
dollars to your object. If we should lose
all else we have in our country, and still
have an educated people, we will -have
a wall around our liberties, and on our
ramparts we many say, 'Victory ! Vic
tory!' With our flag nailed to the mast,
let us tell the whole world that with en
educated people we can fate any storm.
Let us nail the banner of education,
which is synonymous with our flag, to
our masthead, and the ship of State will
never go down. Let us have no cause to
blush for any action of ours in connection
with the great and everlasting cause of
education." [Cheers.]
SULPHITE of CARBON is a substance
which is now used very extensively for
many purposes, such as dissolving India
rubber, etc., but its offensive smell-pre
vents it from being employed in many
cases in which it would otherwise be ap
plicable. A. method has lately been an
nounced,lowever, which deodorizes it
completely, and whichconsista in washing
it first several times with water, and then
introducing It into &large retort with a
quantity of quick lime. After tweity
tour hours' contact, the sulphite is dis
tilled from the lime and received 1 in a
flask. in which has been placed a quantity
of mopes turnings, previously maligned
to remove organic matter, and then re
duced by heating in a current of hydro
gen. The sulphite of carbon thus puri
fied has, it is true, a alight odor, which,
if not positively: agreeable, is at least in
offensive, and by its use certain pharma
ceutists have been - able to separate:' the
perfume of the most delicate flowers, and.
by treating cow's milk with it, have been
able to obtain the odor of plants which
were eaten by the animals.
CAmßoLic &CID.—A well known citi
zen of Philadelphia; who had been using
a weak solution of carbolic acid as a
wash to correct the offensive odor arising
from a cancerous affection, discovered
that the application also removed the
cancer., one-fourth of an , ounce of car
bolic field hi diluted with a quart (thirty
two fluid ounces) of water, and &lotion is
applied three , times- a day. • A weaker
solution containing one-eight of an ounce
of carbolic acid to the quart of water,
would probably be a safer application.

Y. N.C.-A.
Convention at Dartmoutb, Maine-Five
Days' Hesston.
LCorrespor denim of the the iltUbureh Gazette.)
DARTMOUTH, Me., July 19, 1869.
The Fourteenth Annual Convention of
the Young Men's Christian Associati' on
which met in Portland, the 14th inst.,
closed last evening, having continued
five days. About seven hundred and
forty members were in attendance from
England, Canada and twenty-four states.
There were clergymen, generals, edi
tors, presidents, professors of colleges,
merchants, farmers and men in nearly all
the pursuits of life. There were in at
tendance intellectual and good men.
Seldom has it been our privilege to look
on so large an assemblage of honest and
earnest men. They were of all ales,
from the smooth.faced boy to the white.
haired sire; mostly, however young,
sturdy and hopeful, full of zeal and en
ergy. They- evidently came together
feeling that they had a great work before
them, which they were determined to do.
One object and purpose characterized all
their deliberations. The speeches and
prayers were short. There were no half
hour prayers full of instructions to the
Almighty. They seemed to ask'for what
they felt they needed. Spet chew limited
to three or "Ave minutes allowed no time
for long Introductions 6n subjects foreign
to the topics under discussion. The bell
checked all tendency to gaseous diffuse
ress. Action, business was their object.
There were impertinent questions asked
and irrelevant speeches made. In so
large a body, nearly all of whom claimed
freedom from titles of distinction, and
gloried in their absence, it could hardly
be otherwise. The prefixes had more
favor with them than the suffixes. Being
the grand army of the Lord, generals
were in order, and were enthuslastially
received. The different grades of doctors
were ridiculed; "the colleges were got
up to please certain men." They, are an
expensive toy; the object aecomplished
hardly justifies the expenditure of money
and time.
Bo the views of some of the speakers
in regard to the character of the lectures
which should be given before associations
and the place they should come from
were crude and illiberal. Young men
with a very small amount of knowledge,
if they have an opportunity to address
the public, will often improve it, and
with ,great self-complacency. And one
of the dangers of these associations is,
that flattered by their success, in their
opinion, in public speaking many maybe
induced to disregard the opinions of wise
and experienced men, and to treat with
indifference the church of Christ. We
hope this will be less and less apparent.
Any expression of disregard for the
church was promptly and warmly re
buked. The church may have been, as
we believe it has often been, too stiff,
cold and formal, and may, on this ac
count, have accomplished far less than
she otherwise would. But it will be
found better and safer to trust to her and
her divines than to men untrained to their
work, or ' unskilled in interpreting the
Scriptures. Both of these classes may be
useful to each other.
The subjects brought before the Con
vention.were many, and important; the
discussions were earnest, interesting and
instructive. The members had had ex
periente in the matters of which they
spoke, and they told their experiences.
How to organize Y. M. C. Associations, \
whom to receive—how to bring young
men into them and how to treat them
when there; how to reclaim fallen wo
men; how to secure Christian instead of
infidel lecturers; what shall be done for
the Chinese and Gerinana, were, among
the many subjects discussed. A true
Christian spirit marked all of the proceed
ings; to save fallen men was the object.
No lucrative offices were before them-as a
reward for their labors. To give freely
of time and money was plainly their
work, and their only reward the con
sciousness of duty done and good per
formed. Mr. W. E. Dodge, Jr., presided
With ability and grace. He is a worthy
son of a worthy sire. Gene. Howard and
Mahal were active and efflclept. H. L.
Miller and D. L, Moody were ready,
earnest and witty. Messrs. W.M. Fan
alma and M. W. Hodder, of England,
spoke ably and moat effectively. The
spirit of their master clearly beamed forth
from them. Dr. Howard briefly spoke,
always clearly, pointedly and powerfillly.
The closing exercises were in the spa
cious and elegant City. Hall, capable of
holding three thousand persons, which
was packed full. The addresses on the
occasion were deeply interesting. All
hearts were movedby the touching words
and final shaking of hands.
The whole exercises of the Convention
were becoming the Christian men who
composed it. The influence was and is.
felt throughout the beautiful ,city in Which
it was held, and now the many delegates
are on their way to their homes in differ
ent Parts of our land to diffuse the spirit
gathered at this Ineeting. The Associa.
tions are a great power in the world, ever
to be wielded, we trust, for the good of
man and the glory of the Master. S.
A NEW Yong Tribune correspondent
mining of thegrest +arms of 'California,
says: "The Cadtbmisa invites an East

'What do yon call a little place?"Well'
20,000 acres'—or 80 010 0r.40,000, as the
case may be. Everybody seems to have
a little place. The other evening I met

The Pntdbltory Law In Boston.
Don't imagine, writes a Boston corres
pondent, that the sale of liquor was act
ually stopped last week. Pfaff' had a
Cochituate pipe that supplied the upper
story of his building, let into a row of
casks in his cellar, and those who knew
how to get there, and didn't mind climh
ing three flights of stairs, could get their
lager drawn from on innocent brass faucet
`over a stone washbowl. Saloons were
extemporized in the rear rooms of unfin
ished buildings, disguised with a biliard
table, Ara lunch counter, with an ap
over a plank swung in mid-air.
ben this epidemic of club roo ms broke
out as it did two years ago, and' even
now' the demand for passkeys is so
great that one of our leading lock,
smiths yesterday declined an extensive
order from Maine because his time and
establishment were already occupied to
their fullest extent in supplyingthe local
demand. More especially since the !eV

has grown apace, and even now, after
such a furious flourish of trumpet s and
the preliminary fatal charge of Major
Jones's brigade, there is little difficulty
in obtaining liquor in any quarter. How
long this state of things may last depends
not upon the moral necessities of the
community, but- upon the relatlie pre
ponderance of the radical political cliques
which are interested in the matter.

/CE IN ENGLAND.—The Wenbam Lake
Ice Company, originally established to
furnish ice taken from Wenham Lake,
Mass., to the citizens of . London, now
procures its supplies from the north of
Europe. The headquarters of the Com
pany. are in the neighborhood of Christi
ana, in Norway. Near Droback, it has
purchased a large lake, which every
winter is frozen to a very considerable
depth. In order that the water may be
kept perfectly . pure, the Company bought
up the bordering land, and rigidly forbids
the use of any manure upon it, so as to
prevent any surface drainage from flowing
into the lake. The ice, it is reported, is
very nice and fresh, but -the price at which
it is sold in London is a great deal higher
than that paid In the United States. Ice,
however, in our warm climate, with the
thermometer at 97degrees, is a necessity
for the preservation of food, but in the
more moderate climate of England, is
merely a luxury.

Minim a'recent balloon ascension at
Memphis, some interesting phenomena
were noted. The highest altitude at
tained was 16,670 feet, at which.eleva
tion the temperature was 50 degrees
Fahr.. The balloon in ascending always
assumed a whirling motion from right to
left, while in descending it turned from
left to right. Four good English lever
watches were . taken tip, two of which
stopped at the height of two miles. A.
very delicate pocket compass was com
pletely depolarized, and though it has
since been gradually regaining its polar
ity, it is still worthless. The aeronaut
