Tbb Sodden Risk aud Fall of Coal.
A few weekt since our community was sur
prised to lenrn that coal hud advanced about
two dollari per ton. Ctf courie, this sudden
advance on an article of necessity, to more
than war prices, in time of peace, was based
oa no legitimate law of trade, but was the
work of rascally speculators. This sudden
and extravagant advance .finds no favor
with Intelligent operaters In the Bhamokin
or Schuylkill regions. Some may, tempora
rily, profit by it, but in the end they aro the
sufferers. Miners and railway officials take
advantage of it, in raising wages and tolls.
The primary cause of this advance was
caused by the Scrantoc coal speculators in
New York. The advance did not hold out
long in New York, and we learn, that in
Schuylkill Haven, the prices of some kinds
of coal have already declined one dollar and
fifty cents per ton. The Pottsville Minert'
Journal, speaking of the sudden rise, which
it terms "The Rascality of SpeculatiorV'says :
"The New York Tribcxe, a few clays
since, in speaking of the great pressure iu
the money market, said :
"The present depression is caused by a
"Democratic ring, who have locked up
"twelve to fifteen millions to break all
"values, and assisted by secret sales by the
"Treasury, thoy have been able to give an ap
pearance of a want of conGdetire to our
"securities that is entirely artificial aud
"false."
One of the objects was to create the im
pression that the election of Grant would
result in depressing instead of benefitting
the business of the country but in that re
spect thoy will fail, although these gamblers
will put millions into their own pockets by
buying up these very securities at the reduc
ed rates, caused by these manipulations.
The high prices of coal were caused by
two or three speculators, who had a largo
quantity of coal to receive from the Scranton
Company, who ran up the prices regardless
of the interests of producers and consumers.
and probably pocketed not less than $50,000
by the operation. The high prices obtained
by the Company at the last sale remunera
ted tuem lor the loss sustained in furnish.
ing the quantity still due purchasers, at the
luvrer rules.

A Recistry Law. Our Legislature is
Republican, and if it does its duty as an
honest and faithful body, much of the pri
vate legislation which occupied the time of
former legislatures will be discountenanced.
What is done should be 'solely with a view
to the best interests of the people, not of
the Republican party or of the Democratic
party, but of the people. Such a measure is
a Registry Law. The experience of the last
election serves to strengthen the conviction
of honest merfos to its necessity. Frauds
doubtless have always been perpetrated at
elections, and always will be so long as men
are found dishonest enough to seo no end
in them beyond the success of their candi
dates. But every measure which makes it
nearer impossible to cast fraudulent voteB
should be adopted by our Legislature, if il
does not encumber or prevent the free exer
cise of the elective franchise by those who
have the right to exercise it. Of course
every attempt to effect this will he resisted
by the Democratic party, a large per ccntage
of whose voters belong to that class which
can readily bo used by it in any attempt to
override the wishes of the lawful voters.
ITouest elections are alwavs Tiiirtful to the
Democracy. Stringent election laws, how
ever fair and impartial, are invariably resist
ed by Democratic journals.
Now is the time to prevent a repetition
of the disgraceful experiences of the last
election, and they are so fresh in the memo,
ry of every member that he "taint see the
necessity of doing something. Caro should
be taken to make the provisions of the law
as simple, yet as stringent as possiblo.
In addition to this, Congress should do
something toward stopping the leaks in our
naturalization laws. As they now stand, in
our principal cities where foreigners most
decongregate.it would be little worse if
there were no restraints upon the voting at
all. So long as we jealously withhold the
right of suffrage from a large clsss of native
lorn citizens, might we not do vi isely to
protect it from foreigners who cannot posai-
uiy uuaersiana asyiuing about tlie genius
and spirit of our institutions ? Let the low
be framed that none can vote until he is na
turalized, and none can be naturalized until
legally entitled so to be.

FOU GRANT AND COLFAX.
General Grast will go into the Presi
dential office less trammeled by promises to
politicians, than any man that ever sworo
to perform the duties of President with fi
delity. Even Washington had about him
when he entered on the discharge of civil
auty, wnat was regarded as a cliqiia of
favorites, however little the Father of his
country practiced partiality. But Grant is
not suspected of having such favorites.
lie lias no confidants among politicians
he has no interest in common with olEce
huuters, and may be justly regarded as the
most independent President elect ever
honored with such a glory. We hsve every
reason to believe that the great soldier will
not deviate from his course of independent
action. As a warrior, he obeyed certain
fixed principles in the science of war, and
then gave himself np to persistent labor to
carry out his plans, whereby he woa the
grandest victories of the age. If, as Presi
aent, urant oheys equally great principles
oi rigut and justice, and ignores the profei
nmai political truksltri which constantly
swarm in Washingten, his victory in the
u,le 'm will be as great and glerious,
for all the real interests of the people, as
luuse ue won on toe battlefield.

Meteoric fthewers-Offlclal mport
of the tjuprlutel
nl Observatory sU Wnehlngtosi.
Following it the official report from Coin
modore Bands, Superintendent of the Naval
Observatory, in regard to the recent meteoric
shower, received at the Navy Department
last Saturday
U. S. Natal Obbbryatort, Washington,
Nov. 14, 1868. Sir: I have the honor to
submit the following preliminary report of
the meteoric shower of this morning. Dur
ing the evening of the 13th iust., there were
no greater number of meteors to be seen than
are usually observed on clear n'gbla until
about eleven o'clock, when there seemed to
be an increase in numbers and brilliancy,
though not sufficient to indicate the begin
ning of a shower. At midnight (he number
had considerably increased, and the preva
lence of trains was generally noted.
At thirty-five minutes past midnight Pro
fessor Dustman, aud Messrs. Harrison, Fris'oy
and Hays, began to count meteors and to
plot the tracks of the principal ones that
appeared in that portion of the heavens
covered by the star chart constructed at the
Observatory in 1807. At one hour and
thirty-Ova minutes A. li., 800 meteors had
been counted, most quite brilliant, and nearly
all of them leaving green, blue or red trains.
Thus far the display had not been confined
to any portion of the sky, but most of them
were in the northern and southern heavens.
and scarcely any in opposition to the place
in the star chart. Many of the trains were
visible several minutes. One lasted ten
minutes, and the track of one near Ursa
Minor was scan thirty minutes after the ap
peurance of the meteor.
After one hour and fifty minutes Professor
Eastman, assisted by Jlr. Ilamaon, devoted
his time to mapping and noting the time of
apparition of the principal meteors, and suc
ceeded in sketching tracks of about 00.
During one hour and forty minutes 400 had
been counted, and afterwards the successive
hundreds were observed in the following
intervals. (The intervals are here given by
Commodore Sands.) Tho observations were
continued until after six o'clock in the morn
ing, at which time there had besu counted
five thousand and seventy-eight.
At two hours and twenty minutes a. m
Professor Mores and son joined the party of
observation, and assisted in counting me
teors iu the western heavens. During the
whole display there were many meteors seen
in the west, but from four o'clock till five
the numbers were about equal in the caBt
and west. The time of maximum frequency
was about five hours, when they fell at the
rate of about two thousand per hour. The
radiant point was quite well defined during
the latter end of the shower, aud found by
estimation to be about one hundred and
forty-nine degroes in right ascension and
twenty-two minutes thirty seconds in de
clination. The trains Tfere unusually brilliant, pre
senting the various green, blue, orange aud
red, &.c, remained visible for an unusual
tiuie, frequently as many as five could be
seen at once presenting an appearance when
nearly dissipated of light cirrus clouds.
The shower commenced several hours before
it was expected, as it was predicted Inst year
it would bo seen in 1SG8 in the Pacific ocean
only. A number of star charts were dis
tributed a few days ago to the various Ob
servatories and Pacific men of the country,
and it is likely many valuable observations
have been made, of . which we shall toon
learn.
Very respectfully, your obd't servant,
B. F. Sards, Superintendent.
A dispatch from San Francisco says, there
was an extraordinary meteoric shower last
night, commencing about 10:30 r. m., and
lasting tit! an early hour this morning. The
display at 2 r. u. rivalled in splendor that of
Novembar 14, 1867.
Several meteors left trails of light distin
guishable for many seconds. Their general
direction appeared to bo from cast to west.
Dispatches from Hartford, Poughkeepsie,
Fortress Monroe and Richmond mention
brilliant meteoric displays during Friday
uigut.
The number of meteors seen at New York,
Monday night, exceeds two thousand fire
hundred by actual count.
ing at the Are. One of them, thinking the
thing was a dog, kicked at it, but the thing
would not be driven off that way, and walked
into the bouse, the ladies making room for
it when they lound it weuld not be kicked
away. A man suddenly dashed by the ladies
and into the house, where ha found the
thing ho was in search of a Brazilian tiger
in the kitchen, amusing itself with a cat.
Whether his tigershlp was playing arennd
the cat until it recovered its breath after its
excitement, aud then intended to devour it,
does not tratspire, for the man suddenly
threw a carpet over the animal and bore it
off iu triumph. The lady who kicked at the
tiger of course faiuted at the brave act she
so thoughtlessly committed.
The cago ef monkeys was the most ludi
crous thing to behold, as the creatures gib
bered away and performed nil manner of
antics. Parrots spoke out in tones that
would have done credit to a basso singer,
and the feathered tribe that could not speak
were moving about their cages liko bats in a
lighted room.
Mr. Forepaugli thinks some of the smaller
auimals, such as rabbits and Guinea pigs,
were burned, but the largest animal missing
is a monkey, it is said tuat a lellow was
seen going down Ridge avenue with a mon
key under his ceat, but whether that was the
missing monkey or one he runs to fires with
has not transpired.
Mr. Foropftugb estimates his loss nt $47,
000, upon which there is no insurance.
The election In CJforyJn.
Atlanta, Oa., Nov. 14. The official re
turns from all the State but nine counties
make Seymour's majority 45,500. The coun
ties to bo heard from will increase his major
lty about 1,000. The Republican majority
for Gov. Bollock in April was 7,000. The
counties which in that election gave from
600 to 1,200 votes for Bullock, gave only
one vote each for Grant. In six counties,
which then cast 1,800 Republican votes,
tuero was not one single vote for Grant.

The St. Louis Democrat says the Arkansas
Ku-Klux had a meeting on Thursday, and
determined to have no more meetings until
they could confer with the grand council at
New Orleans, and get a new name and new

been discovered by the State authorities,
Friday they sent runners to all parts of the
State for the Ku Klux to assussiuattfno more

The terrorism exhibited in Louisiana on
election day, by which Republicans, and
espscially colored voters were not permitted
in many placea to approach the polls, was
more frightful than any could have supposed.
Just think how it muBt have been, when it
is shown, by the official returns that Grant
received 1 vote and Seymour 1735 in a Par.
ish where 472 whites and 1098 blacks were
registered last year. In Caddo, where the
registry stood 2087 blacks to 776 whiles,
Grant gets 1 vote and Seymour 2805. St.
Mary, Last Baton Rouge, Last Feliciana, and
other Parishes show similar figures. But
St. Landry, the sceno of the late rebel mas
sacre, govs the whole hog, casting 4800
votes for Seymour and none for Graut,
though 8102 blacks were registered io that
Parish last year. This is liberty and free
dom of elections as guaranteed by Mr. John
sen through hit beloved follower Rousseau.
What would Louisiana have done had the
illustrious Sheridan commanded in New
Orleans t
Qbsiral optuk Aumy. There is so
much discussion of the law creating the
grade of General of the Armies, under which
General Grant was appointed, that it has
been deemed necessary to publish the act iu
question. It is, in full, as follow; "The
President is hereby auiborised, whenever he
shall deem it expedient, to appoint, by and
with the advice of the Senate, a General of
the army of the United Btatus, selected from
among these officers in the military armies
most distinguished for courage, skill sad
ability, who, being commissioned as Gener
al may be authorized, under the direction
and pleasure of the President, to command
the armlet of the United 6.tatet."

Philadelphia, Nov. 1C. About half past
six o'clock Saturday evening flames were
discovered issuing from a large double threo
story building, near the junction of Ridge
avenue and Jefferson atreet, occupied by
Messrs. Kencoe, Clarke & Co., as a saw and
planing mill and sash factory. The flumes
pread witn great rapidity, owing to the
Urge quantity of combustible material, and
in a short lime they attained such headway
as seemed to bailie the efforts cf the firemen
to check them. The fire then communicated
to a long row of shedding in the rear of the
building, which was soon destroyed. In this
was stored a large quantity of lumber. The
firm estimate their loss upcu the buildiug at
about $5,000, upon which thero is an insur
ance of $1,600 in the Rbyal Insurance Coia
pnny. Th loss upon machinery is estimated
at $7,000, and on stock about $5,000.
Adjoining on tja north was a large struc
ture oi frame aud brick, which was owned
and occupied by Adam Forepaugli for win
tering the animals composing bis menagerie,
and which had bsju taken possession of but
a few ciays before tor that purpose.
Messengers were promptly cispatclicd to
the men employed about the menagerie, and
fortunately haatcsed to the scene. The fuars
that the building would take fire were rea
l.zod, aa the flames spread from the shedding
attached to the saw mill.
The quick vibrations of the pistons of the
steam lire engines, the exhaust steam, the
shriek of their whistles, the springing of
hoseenrriage bells, and the geueial tumult
incident to a fire, were enough to frighten
the beasts. When, however, scores of men
dashed in upon them, clsd in all sorts of
equipments, the animals for awhile must
have thought an exhibition was being gotten
up for their edification.
The flames spread rapidly, aad the cry
want up to save the animals, and the firemen
pitched in regardless of consequences. The
animals, wheu the flames came in such prox
imity, were frantic, the additional excite
ment, added to the noises, becoming unbear
able. The dens seized by the firemen, and
they moved away with them as though they
were solid structures. The consequence was
that some of the bars became displaced, and
uie animais, seeing a cbance lor escape, lest
no time in availing themselves of it.
The dens were rudely but securely built
for the purpose of holding the animals, but
it was not expected that a speedy removal of
them would be necessitated. In removing
tbe den containing the lion from tho struc
ture on which it was placed, it received a
severe jar, and the result was it commenced
to fall to pieces. A large number of men,
however, surrounded it and held it together
until it was landed in the street, when a ctge
wss brought up and placed over it, thus
safely securing the lioa, which had not ob
tained itt freedom, thaokt to tbe bravery of
tbe men who held the den together.
A Bengal tiger effected itt escape by the
breaking of a plank in the den during in
removal and started off up Ridge avenue,
followed by boy. The animal jumped
over a fence and went into the dinning room
of the residence of a physiean. It then pass
ed through tbe kitcheo and into the yard,
and so to the stable, where it wat captured
by teme of the meatgeri folks and safely
secured. t

acknowledged the compliment as follows;
Friendi and Fellow V it item of Galena : I
thank you for this additional mark of your
kindness. Sufficient, I suppose, has now
been heard of the result of the late election
to show upon whom it has fallen to admin
ister the affairs of the nation for the next
four years. I suppose it is no egotism in me
to say that tho choice has fallen on me.
Tho responsibilities of the position I feel,
but accept them without fear, if I can have
the same support which has been given to
me thus far. I thank you and all others who
have fought together in this contest a con
test in which you aro all interested person,
ally as much as, aud perhaps more, than I
am. I now take occasion to bid you good
bye, at I leave here to morrow for Washing

again for some years to come, although it
would give mc great pleasure to make au
annual pilgrimage to a pluce whore I have
enjoyed myself so much as I have hero dur

Hair "Vigor,
For restoring Gray Hair to
Its natural Vitality and Color.
A dressing which
it at once agreeable!
healthy, and effectual
for preserving the
hair. Faded or gray
hair is toon rssiorea
to il$ original color
with tht glott and
fruhntn of youth.
Thin hair is thick
ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous and
injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy
lustre and a grateful perfume.
