SUXDUBY, APRIL 9, 1S75.
Demaoccism, even when its bray is
auppreMed, will show its "frars sometimes,
whru the reel of the aoimal is covered up
by an "independent," if not a "neutral"
garment. Our neighbor of the Daily is
trying bib utmost to assure the riotous mi
nors in the coal region, that murder, arson,
threats and bloodshed, are looked upon, if
not as amusements, at least as offences not
very aggravated by the true or modern de
mocracy, who are ever ready to barter con
science, independence and self-respect for
power and plunder. According to the the
ory of the astute philosopher of the indc
jxndent Daily, there is uo barm whatever
ia one of those men pointing his gun at the
head of an American citizen, provided he
don't go so far as to blow bis bead oft The
editor evidently thinks it is time to lock
the stable after the horse is stolen, and that
the 150 policemen should nol have been
stationed at Hazlcton until the town was
destroyed.
Tue fifth annual report of the- Board of
Commissioners of Public Chanties or the
State of Pennsylvania, to which is append
ed the report of the General Agent and
Secretary, has been furnished us through
the courtesy of the Board. It is a volume of
four hunhrcd and seventy pages or valuable
information on the workings and manage
ment of the benevolent institutions of the
State The General Agent's nport con
tains some suggestions in regard to needed
measures of reform in several directions,
which are worthy the attention n all inter
ested in such institutions. The report of
the iail in this county is anything but com
mendable, and wo hoj that the people of
the connty will not allow another report to
be given without an effort to make im
provement thot we need not be ashamed
to allow such reports to go abroad over the
entire State, that Northumberland county,
one of wealthiest counties in the State, has
the poorest jail in thn Commonwealth.
Tho following is the report :
"Visited October 6, 1874. The old
structure remains without repairs or im
provements. The court has advised and
grand juries recommended a new edifice,
worthy in all respects of this wealthy coun
ty, and. adapted to present wants ; but
what is done to cflcct tho important pur
pose at one time is negatived by the actiou
of a subsequent jury ; and thus, year after
year passes by without any measures being
taken to accomplish the object. Soma lit
tle improvement lave been made in the
apartments in which prisoners are confined,
by a new coat of whitewash, and some ad
ditions to the bedding and furniture. It
contained 13 prisoners, 12 males, 1 female ;
tLs latter an iuteiesting looking girl ol
about fifteen years f age, charged with
ectting fire to a barn belongiug to a family
with whom she lived. She had uot been
tried, and was represented to be feeble
minded to such a degree as to justify doubts
ol her accountability. It was suppose she
would be sent to the House of llefuge.
Five rooms are in use in this prison fur
the confinement of prisoners ; two rooms
on tha first story and three on the second ;
four prisoners are placed in each room ;
they are in coustant association in aud
about tha building, separation or classifica
tion being impossible.
The murderer noticed in former report,
Laving been sentenced to be executed, com
mitted suicide a short time before the day
appointed for execution.
The prisoner supposed to be insaue,
charged with stealing a horse, was released
by order of court."

PENNSYLVANIA.
East Maiiaxoy Junction, April 5.
At noon to day a large body tf miners
from Summit Hill collieries arrived iu
Tamuquaand made a street demonstration.
They were headed by a solitary drummer
and a man carrying au American flag.
Every person earried a heavy cudgel and
Iwked as if prepared for business.
The object of the display was to induce
the men working ai Colonel Cake's Phila
delphia bunker to strike. The appear
ancu of the strikers made considerable
excitement in the towu, and the Lehigh
men were greeted in a loya! manner by the
Schuylkill brethren.
Mahanoy City, April 5.
The excitement and anxiety growing out
of the great strike do not dimmish, and the
situation is as perilous and grave as it was
a week ago. The stories sent by corres
pondents Iroin the Schuylkill region to the
effect that the miners were showing signs
of weakening is totally false and must uot
be believed.
Your correspondent had a long inter
view with James Mathias, au influential
officer of the Miuers' Benevolent Associa
tiou in this county, to-day, and he emphati
cally denied the story that the men were
losing courage.
! His views are those of cverv miner with
whom I have spoken. He says that the
collieries have throwu down the ttauntlet,
nnd the muu will defend their position even
in the face of starvation. It is not true
that merchants refuse credit to miners.
I had several conversations with store
keepers this morning upon the quesliou,
and ail stated that they do not mean to rc-
usc credit. Il would be a ruiuous policy
for them, from the fact that the miners
would never again patronize them.
The scarcity of coal at the seaboard in
spires them with hope that the operators
will be compelled to come to terms within
this month. Intelligence from Harrisburg
is waited for with feverish anxiety, as the
prevalent opinion is that a job is being
manufactured to bring dowu troops.
However, this is the turner's side of the
atory.
Mollv Maguirea arc reported as being
active on the mountains north of this point,
but there is uo slock of voal in this region,
and the debris that accumulates iu the
shape of fine coal around breakers is being
utilized aud mixed with hard anthracite
for fuel in furnaces aud foundries.
Trouble was apprehended at Gordon
Planes to-day, from the fuel that coal ship
ments were put in ;eralion by mm union
men. Latest advices report everything
quiet there and no strikers to be seen
in the vicinity of the plane. To such a
pitch has the excitement attained that ru
mors of disturbances create wild alarm.
Intelligence has been received here to
night that the Lehigh bind, who made de
monstrations al Tumaqua this afumoon.
drove oil' the miners working in three col
lieries in that vicinity. A similar display
is expected to-morrow ut two iudivual
miues in this locality.
IVrrsVILLE. April 5.
Foui hundred miuers paraded the streets
today at Tutnaqua. They went to the
mines located Ueir this town and found
that the men had all quit work. They
fired their revolvers iu the air aud informed
the proprietors that they had uo objection
to coal being mined for the town's own
consumption, but none should be shipped
abroad, which was aareed to. They made
no disturbance aud conducted themselves
quietly.
Inquiries made as to the truth of rumors
in circulation that the colliery at Gilberton.
where the demands of the miners were ac
ceded to by paying the 1874 basis, and the
only mine which our furnaces hero delud
ing on for supplies, had ceased working,
show the rumors to bo unfounded, aud
there is no immediate danger of the tur
naccs being compelled to blow out aud sus
pend work.
Patrick Rourke died nt Heckshcrsville
to-day from the effects of a premature dis

Telegrams from the coal region represent
all quiet, though trouble is apprebeuded
to-morrow when the coal trains begiu to
move.
A brakemau employed on the Shenau
doah passenger train, aud aciiug as a spe
cial policeman, was stoned and fired upon
and wounded in the arm. and is now una

s unable to leaiu the exact result, though
it is known that oue of the men was wound
ed. There ws a general resumption of work
iu the Over Gordon Planes ibis morning.
The Shamokin collieries have applied for
1,000 cars for the immediate shipment of
coal, being au indication that the men have
not yet ali joined the unions, and the min
ing tonnage froni that section during the
prenent week.
Mauch Chunk. April 5.
Ths coal region in Carbon county re
mains iu the same tranquil stale. In no
part of the anthracite coal fields is there
such a quiet feeling as in this county.
The miners remain firm, and if the opera
tors will give them the 1874 basis work
will be resumed at once.
Hazleton, April 5.
Affairs have been quiet since Saturday,
and our streets saaiu present their usual
tranquil appearance. The delegate meet
ing held on Saturday passed resolutions de
manding that nil dead work should be eus-p-tided,
but that the pumps should not be
in lered with.
A resolution was also pasned requesting
Mr. TagiMrt to ceae working. In case
his men quietly acquiesce there may be no
further trouble, but should they refuse wo
may see another raid to enforce the de
mands of the union.
The several districts represented report
ed themsleves well supplied with funds aud
able to hold out for at least six months.
The names of the merchants who assisted
tho sheriff on Weduesday were placed on
the minutes, and these men are now mark
ed. A meeting those who refused assistance
to the sheriff is to be held to-raorrow eveu
ing, while the supporters of law and order
demand that they shall pay the penalty for
refusing assistance.
Wilkeshaure, April 5.
On Sunday a party of Welsh and Irish
miners got into a quarrel in Blakely town
ship, which ended in the shooting and kill
ing of Patrick Slavin by John Edwards.
Edwards and Win. Morgan barely escaped
with their liver. They were lodged in jail
here to-day.
Deputy Sheriff Rhoads returned here this
afternoon and collected au additional posse
of men. He will start with them for the
JJazMon reeioo to-night,
MIXERS DISTURBANCES.
Reading, Pa., April 4. -Throughout
the Schuylkill coal fields no disorders of any
kind have been reported to-day, although
there may be outbreaks at any liour.
Proclamations by the sheriffs of the coal
counties have beeu 6pread broadcast, but
the turbulent miners lauh at the civil
authorities and only fear the militia.
At Mount Carlioii yesterday a brakeman
of the Reading Raiiroad. while llagginn a
traiu, was attacked by a gang of roughs i
aud uumercilully beateu. These petty out
rages arc of daily occurrence, and will con
tinue uutil the strike terminates. '
COFFIN NOTICES.
To illustrate the workings of the infa
mous baud of Molly Manures, a Pottsville
paper f today remarks: Cdtiu notices
are being distributed as if there was a ma
chine to grind them ut." It is the gener
al sentiment that if the strike continues a
coal famine will ensue ; but the Reading
Railroad is doing its utiuost to replenish
the stock at Port Richmond. Fifteeu hun
dred tons nightly pass over the road to the
seaboard, in fact of the executions of the
miners to wreck trains and prevent tran
sportation. the situation is feuilous.
And intelligent miuers comprehend the
position. Any serious outbreak on their
part will bring the militia down upon them,
and bloodshed would result. As the tele
graph offices are closed on Sunday night
in that region it is an impossibility to ob
tain intelligence from the important points.
All millitaty orgaaizationB iu this county
have been notified by the authorities to be
in readiness for instant service.

THE TRIUMPH OF A MONOPOLY. j
In a former letter of this series, I congra- i
tulated mv readers upon their deli.erance
from the clutches of the express companies
the most odious monopoly that curses
the country, except the telegraph. The
action of Congress in instituting the parcels
system was what gave the eople relief.
Under that law. a package of nti thing that
could safely go iu a mail bag. weighing not
more th m four pounds, was taken any
where for a rate per ounce that made it
possible to order books, small articles of
dry g-tods. and many other thiucs by mail
at less thau half the rates of the graspin
express companies.
The effect upon the business of the couu
try was immediate and beueficial. The
people ordered books, small parcels of dry
goods, etc., three times as frequently as be
fore, and the system was found to work
admirably.
Of course the express companies did not
like it. for they were losing the most profit
able pari of their business. They knew
exactly how to do it, and they did it. They
had a lobby iu Washington, und at the
close of the session a bill was smuggled
through that doubled the postage on mer
chandise parcels, binding the eople hand
and foot, and turning them over to the ten
der mere'es of their natural enemies. And
the post office department can now find no
authority whatever for mitigating any por
tion of the injury, and so we must make up
our minds to sweat till the next Congress
its.
The merchants and publishers of New
Yolk are suffering intolerably from this
villainous law and the rulings that sustain
it, for it knocks the parcels business out of
the city altogether. Possibly the next
Congress will give us relief, and possibly
not. In the meantime, the people ought
to make themselves heard in the matter,
It is an outrage that so areata boon should
be taken from us at the bidding of two or
three bloated corporations. It was in
famous in Congress to permit such an out
rage as the passage of the bill.
THE DEATH OF A GAMBLER.
The morning papers announce the death
of J hnnv Hill, better kuown in New York
as "Cooley Keys." Cooley was one of the
characters ot the great city. Originally a
mechanic, he liecarue a gambler early in
life and rati the usual race of men iu that
profession. He owned mauy gambling
houses and made large gains of money
thereby. But of late years he has takeu
the wrong side of the table, and has lost an
ra:idlv as he formerly made. His chief
claim to distinction was his dress. II
was, probably, the nest dressed man in
New York. He never wore a pair of boots
more than one day, his shin fronts were
made iu Paris at a cost of 4250 per dozen
and he bought gloves in quantities of 51500
and 82000, wearing never less thau four or
five pairs a day. Cooley was a picture ou
Broadway. But he died joor. as all such
men do. Thousands and hundreds of
thousands poured through his hands, but
what comes over the devil's back goes un
der his belly. He died iu a narret, in ab
Jncl misery, with but the barest necessaries
f life, aud was buried as a tiauper. He
had his little day of fierce nleasuie aud then
came his ni"ht. And what a night I As
pM.r Cooley lay upon his wretched cot, in
the pains of mortal sickness, I wonder if he
did not think it would have been better for
him if he had followed his original business
of brass casting and lived and died a decent
man. Precious little comfort could a dying
man get out of memories of a life made up
of cards, prostitutes anil fine clothes.
BEECHER.
At hist the great Beecher is on the stand
to testify in his own behalf. His friends
c!iin that his testimony will end the trial,
that he will so completely establish his in
nocence and so fix the theory of con
spiracy on Tilton and Moultou as to drive
those persons out of Brooklyn aud into
dishonorable obscurity. They say he has
his testimony so arrauged as to make it
invulnerable ; and that when he gets
through, he will shine ia the firmament
like the morning star.
This may be true, but if so, why in the
imroe of all that is decent, didn't he-swear
before ? Why did he wait till now, and
permit this terrible waste of filth toonxe in
one everlasting thwd out of that court room
and overspread the entire country ? There
has been nothing in the nastiness of the
past four weeks that has had the slightest
bearing upon the question ; and if Beecher
has so sure a thing as his friends say, he
might have stopped it all.
So far, his testimony has amounted to
nothing, except the roost positive and cm
phalic denials of his guilt. He repeats in
substance only his former statements,
though bis manner inipreisea the people
wonderfully. His case look better than it
Wdid a week ao.
WHAT TO WEAR.
There is more taste and U ss extravagance
year by year in the unfolding styles for
women's dress. This spring more than
ever it is possible for a lady to look well
wilh slight expense. Fine, durable, wool
goods for early wear, iu .modest, pleasing
shad s are seen on the streets, and for
arm weather, equally durable aud finish
etl linens will be worn. Firm yet soft de
luges are staple frebrics, either in plain
brown and iron gray, or in distinct shaded
plaids of the same color, brightened with a
bar of white, which marks them from the
characterless plaids worn last fall. French
suits of modest cost are of plaids, the black
and white shepherds' check being the
freshest favorite, overskirt aud sleeves ot
striped stuff or silk a fancy which will
hardly be as popular here as the contrast
between plaid and plain surfaces. The
iniprov.ment in cotton fabrics in the last
five years is admirable ; tho soft percales
and cambrics having next to the beauty of
silks in finish aud all its delight in color.
B constant, careful research, nauufactur
ers are able to fix delicate dyes on cotton,
and the mauve, primrose, apple-green,
rose-pink, aud sky-blue of percales are as
charming as the same shades in costlier
fabrics, to which they have beeu cou fined.
These cotton goods will be largely worn
outside of cities where more pretentious
dress is called for, and the Oxford cheviots,
in blue-gray with a thread of pink, or car
nation in the stripe, will be worn on the
promenade as freely as they are in Passy
and Neuilly, suburbs of the centre of fash
ion, or at the watering-places abroad. For
a charming caprice, now that lace is the
favorite trimming for everything, the fine
blue, violet, aud slate-gray percales are
figured as if a dotted net were laid over the
surface, and the border is printed in Mech
liu or thread lace designs a finger wide.
To suit the fashion of English embroidery,
which linens and grenadines were covered
last year, other percales are figured to imi
tate the openwork wheels, daisies and
sprigs wilh border like rich embroideiy.
But taste must choose that where borders
are used at all they shall be on solid color.
Liueus of maniila color, like paper of
that name, will be worn to au unlimited
exteut, for the new importations have soft.
lust niu teklure. as if mixed with silk, and
are beautifully varied with wove lace
stripes in white or self color, brightened
with sky-blue or brilliant crimson threads.
Liueu grenadines and Algerian cloth have
the beauty of silk, and promise to wear as
well. Damask, quilted, and plaid grena
dines will supersede plain ones to some ex
tent, though the latter must alwas keep
the good opiniou of women of taste.
But the bonnets, the hats rather, are no
light, so BLmmery, so elegant, they rejoice
the eye. Pule chip, sofi and crushy, of the
fashionable maniila. crearu or silver-gray
shades, lakes the place of straw aud silk,
with brims wide enough to shade the sight,
gracefully looped or turned up with clusters
of flowers, among which appear knots of
soft twilled satiny silk. The taste is to
trim with a few folds of bright velvet, blue,
or carnation velvet, mixed with loops and
twists of this white gros d'Orieut as the
satiny silk is called. A round the brim
cluster loose petaled white roses, with a
tiuge of pink, rick vioL-t garlands, and all
the wealth of June blossoming. Our spring
is here apace.
business
Is still reviving, that is to say. it is getting
U tter and better eveiy day. The hotels
ate crowded and packed, and the mer
chants are selling large aud satisfactory
bills. Il seems as though the worst was
over, and that from this time lousiness will
be good, and thus we shall see something
of the old-time prosperity. There is no
reasou why it should not be so. There is
plenty of moi.ey in the country and the
people were never richer. Pietro.

Dear Sir We bavo good reasons for regard

We leel assured thn it has been the mcaus of

years of age ; for the last two years he has suf
fered front necrosis of his leg, ranseit by eeruful
ous affection, and was so far reduced that nearly
all who saw him thought his p-covery iiu posgftle.
A council of able physicians couid give ns but
the faintest hope ol bis ever rallying ; two of the
U'iniber lie hiring that he was beyotid th reach
of human remedies, tb.it even amputation could
not have him, a he bad not viger enongh to en- j
dure the o-rHtimi. Just then we commenced
giving him VEGETINE and from that time to
the present he has been continuously improving.
He has lately resumed studies, thrown away his
crutches aud can, .md walks about cheerfully
and strong.
Though there is still ine discharge from the
opening where his limb was lanced, re have the
fullest confidence that in a little time be will be
iierlecllv cured.
He has taken ahont three dozen bottles of
VEGETINE, but lately use but little, as he de
clares be Is too well t-. be taking medicine.
