The anthracite investigating committee, composed of members of tho Lcgislsture, have visited this region in tbelr official capacity, examined witnesses, ami the readers of the IIimn hnve liecn lurniskrd with a stenographic report of the 'testimony. This couiiii.tten Is composed of two Senators and tli iee luenihera of the lower Ileum), nil tucti above the average in intelligence, and who apparently have an earnest ileal le to glean all tho mformatiou possible an to the emiiMtlen o; the miuu workers, with a view to sub witling u remedy fur the present condition of all'airs in this and other sections of tho state. That there is sutferlng and want is ml mitled on all sides. It was not necessary for a Legislative lommittee lo take eviduuee to ascertain this fiu-r. any uprcscutiitivo from tho coal regions could i live furnished any ninoui t of iiil'oruiation of this character, and s.ivtd to the taxpayers of the state the ex pense at'ciiditig such mi iutestigatlon as the ouc now In progies. We tieliete that the uioinb. rs tJ the committee as at present unMilutcil.il... Iionc-t and capable and are engaged In un eif-.rl. to uliun all the int'ur niation owib.e, without ftHr or fuvor ; they, however, are not -enpomiible for the ap pointment of the coiuniitlee, and any failure iu lliii iuvcligition nill not rest with them. it w.H not the object of the promoters of thii in esiig.itlou lo relieve tho distlesstd miner tor the love they bore him; thoy taw in the litile i-cheme a niee junketing trip and nt the pumu time an opportunity to secure political buncombe for themselves and a club to u-e upon the coal companies at the expense of tho taxpayers. Itut iu this tiny failed, fur the reason that the prime movcis were not named us members of the committee. Tho expense will Le gieat enough as it is; hut imagine, if you can, what it would have been had the cll'urU of some of tho solons boen successful in having a committee, of forty appointed Instead of five, as at present con stituted, with ahamuakiie and divons other good things as the chief etpilpinsuts. As wo have previously stated, tho members of the committee are no doubt honest iu their intentions, and should bo encouraged rather than hampered in their cUbrts to alleviate tho suffering of tho mine workers and those dependent upon them. That tho commission will apply every means in their power to remedy tho existing stato of affairs, is evident from the tono of interviews had with members of the commission by a representative of tho Hkimi.d. They know very well that the prevailing dullnoss nil over the country in every avenue of trade, is responsible fur the hard times in the coal regions, where the effect is last felt, and no legislature, no investigating committee can tako any action that will remedy this evil. The evidence so far submitted to the com mittee, so far as the cause of tho depression of the coal trade is concerned, tends in one direction namely, an overproduction, with a surplus of labor. This fact was well known, nnd it did not require an investigation to bring it to the attention of the Legislature. The sxplauation for the slack demand for anthracite coal is easily furnished by the statistics of production. In 1870 tho anthra cite companies produced 10,188,101 tons of prepared sizes, ou which most of tho profit is secured, and tho production of bituminous coal in that year was 15,500,000 tons. In the ten years to 1880, pea and buckwheat, on which there is little profit, was sold to tho extent of 2.243, 721 tons, prepared sites to 87,000,000 tuns, and bituminous had more than doubled tu 80,000,000 tout. In I860 pea and buckwheat sizes had nearly doubled, and iu that year 15,141,500 tons wore sold against 23,125,500 tons of prepared siztg, while the bituminous production was 150,000,000 tons. Taking Uiete faets into cunsideiatlon, tho secret of the depressed condition of the an th incite trade, upon which our people to largely depend for a livelihood, is found in the increased use of small sizes on which profit is little or nothing, and the enormous production of soft coal. The displaolng tf the old prepared sizes by tho steam sires and soft coal is increased by the use of gas and electricity, ami this promises to con tinue. This is what ails the coal trade, and what has robbed the anthracite carriers of their business. As we predicted at the time the investigat ing committee was appointed, their inquiry has elicited nothing that was not already known to the members of the Legislature from this county, and more especially the upper districts. They could, if they bo desired, have furnished the memliers of the legislature with all this information, avoiding the expense ef a trip to this section. The present session of the legislature tends strongly to investigation!. no lantlutn four now being engaged in their "arduous" duties in different parts of the state. Investigations in the past have borne little fruit, and wu may exiwct no more from those now iu progress, no matter how conscientious the members of the committees may be. It is to bo Imped that the line of Invest! gation will teud iu another direction from that pursued in Wahausy City, when the In vestigators come to Shenandoah. Here they will Hud say number of witnesses conversant jvith the coat trade whose views upon the subject may materially assist the members of the committee. if the legislators ejus devise seme way in which to in.lu.' the companies to work their collieries on full time, tbey will have reached the root of all our trouble, and they will re ceive the th.mkt of all fricuds of the work iugmau Hut can they do it? So far no remedy tiw been suggested by those who have appeared before the committee. The hitter, iu the words of t'liairmau Meredith, ", muiot make tho collieries go." If the Legislature can regulate the law of demand and niipidy tlirv may improve the preent condition of albtii . We are iilill of the opinion tint tho inves tigation will elicit nothing that wu not al ready writ known. K. C. Joiner.

At last the measure providing for the erection of a new canltol building has taken shape and passed the senate prior to their last adjournment. This bill provides for the erection of a new state capltol building on or near tho Bite of the old building at a cost of $660,000, and no doubt with a few amendments will stieedlly pass the house, nnd the governor proposes to attach his signature soon after It comes Into his hands. It Is his Intention to have a beginning made toward the erection of a new state caoltol very soon. An effort will no doubt be made in the hpuse to Increase the number of members of the commission by add ing two from the house, but it Is very doubtful whether the temper of this body will suffer this to be done. The house recognises no man as master, and a spirit of great Independence la a very marked characteristic. One of the elements that give strength to this influence comes from the Democratic members, who stand In solid phalanx and throw their weight to one side or the other as they are satisfied as to the value of the measures to be enacted. The other factions find it necessary to secure their Inlluence, and they have to have some regard for the minority. It is doubtful whether the house ol representatives of this commonwealth .was ever In better trim to secure for the people wise and Judicious legis lation than the present one. This la becoming more noticeable each week. It would be well If the senate were similarly balanced. Too much smooth ness characterises this body, and they are accredited with passing about every measure that comes before them, Another bill to pass the senate within the past few days was the Ham ilton road bill, or senate bill No. 0, by a vote of 41 to 0. This bill is growing In popularity, and will pass the house with a good sized majority. There seems to be a strong sentiment devel oping in Its favor in many of the coun try districts. . Electric railway legislation is now re ceiving some attention. Two measures in the interests of such enterprises were favorably reported out of the commit tee on passenger railways. The ono authorizes electric and other rallroada not operated by steam to carry freight, while the other practically gives the electric railways the right of eminent domain. The object of these measures is to avoid the Influences of the u preme court decision, which has been an obstacle to the extension of electric roads into the country around Phlla delphla, The reform legislation that was promised In the beginning does not seem lo be In a very healthy condition, ns the bills already Introduced In ref orence to this aie not regaided with special favor. Some of the members who were thought to be frlendx of these measures do not take kindly to them. Unless there Is n decided change In the rsentiment of the house there aro none of the reform measures likely to become Jaws. Opposing nn Exciso Bill. Although a meeting was held In tho chamber of the house of repreBenta tlves In the Interests of the excise com mission bill, and a number of able at torneys spoke In behalf of this meas ure, their effortB seem to avail but lit tie. The provisions of this bill authorizes the establishment of a com mission composed of attorneys, or per sons learned In the law, whose duties would bo to pass upon all bills as to their legal form and constitutionality before they are Introduced In cither house. It Is feared that were this bill to become a law there might a spirit of favoritism develop, and In that event only certain measures be permitted to go before either house. It is also ob Jected to on the ground that it tends to increase the number of the officials of the state, and thus add to the ex penses. Although several apportionment bills have been Introduced, It Is extremely doubtful whether there Is any legisla tion effected In this respect during this session at leaBt. The difficulty Is to frame bills that would satisfy the ma jority, as In order to make a fair appor tionment some counties would neces sarily have a reduced representation, and this would Incur great opposition from such districts. The senate fire Investigating com mittee is still wrangling with Dr. Swallow, who seems now to be In a de fiant mood, aud rather disposed to choose his own time to furnish the evi dence he Is alleged to have In refer ence to the burning of the capltni. In an open letter to Governor Hastings, Stato Treasurer Haywood and Auditor General Mylln, members of the public buildings and grounds commission, re garding their referring his request for permission for himself and others to examine the ruins of the old capitol building to the attorney general for his decision, he charges childish .tactics, and criticizes them very strongly. But the time has come when the doctor must obey the tribunal before which he Is cited to appear, as they have a right to know of any knowledge or tes timony he or his friends have to offer, and he will not gain anything by with holding his Information longer.

Yesterday was a day of excitement In legislative nlrcleB, on account of charges of brib ery made In the senatorial contest. Hunter's managers say that the next few days will lay bare a plot to ruin him, and that high and low politicians will go up in the explosion. The story of Gaines Is almost unanimously dis credited heie. It Is believed by some that Gaines had soveral meetings with Wilson and Franks, but sentiment is divided as to their motives. Gaines' friends admit that he has exploited himself unenvlably. Dr. Hunter said today: "I am not ready now to say what my plans are In regard to exposing the outrageous and Infamous assault upon me. The matter, however, Is full of unpleasant sensations yet to come for Borne peo. plo. As I have to meet an immaculate God, I never saw Qalnes In my life, and was never In his house." A conservative man on the Blackburn side said: "The only effect of the brib ery story would be to solidify the Hun ter forces. What we have to fear now Is that the Kold Democrats will think It a part of a scheme of the Blackburn people to prevent an election, a- ' that they will Indirectly aid Ilun.er by making a quorum."
