COAL! COAL??

Rend tlie speeeu of lion. Frank 11. Hurd, of Ohio on first page. It will amply repay a careful perusal. «<•►* The Demo rati« Corigre.* s has pass ed a bill abolishing the customs duty tax on quinine. As a consequence the extortionate price heretofore demanded for that article will be greatly reduced. The Brooklyn Eagle asks: If the Republicans really believe that they can easily carry the election in 1880. why should they have an army at their back ? * Hayes, under advice of Tipsy Chandler, refused to take the dose tendered him by the Democratic Congress as a remedy for our nation’s ills. He llnally did take it in broken doses.— And now where is the Dkmocratie back down? Radical Luke Poland, of Vermont, kuew all about Louisiana polities a few peajs ago. The then senator was asked what lie thought of the condition of things in Louisiana, to which he replied: “I think the otherside are d d rascals, and I know our side aro ”

The “Tall Sycamore,” in his recent great speech in the Senate, truthfully remarked: “Sir, the soldier roll at this hour, with the Democratic party in the ascendancy in both branches of Congress, * * shows a better pntronnge bestowed on the Union soldier than it did when the Republican party had unlimited sway.” This was said in the broad light of day, in the United States Senate, and was not disputed. This is a good pill for rad leals who go about asserting that the Democracy dismissed Union soldiers, employees of the Government. Laporto Argus: The Sentinel is the name of a new Republican paper at Rensselaer and it is well conducted.— ’This may compel friend James, of the Union, to flop again and publish unother independent paper. Well, we’Jl ho everlastingly d—og gon d! To stigmatize the Sentinel us a Republican paper!! Whew!!!— Wadsworth, you must take that back, or consider ‘.no challenge out. The Standard is the name of the new paper, and claims to he “reliably Republican.” But wo gm* s tiie consul can’t Hop avy more; Calkins bus anchored him to the post office. .—-«** The New York World pertinently refers to the disastrous failure or lamented death of (he following great Republ.can bloo ly shirt eainpaigu issues:

What about the 1 issue paper ballots? What of the cipher disclosures? What has become of the Okolona Sout'em States? Where is the new rebellion? What’s wrong with tlie Southern exodus? What on earth ails-the Keißucky conspiracy for the assassination of Grant? Why isn’t the Government starved? Whercfor is it that the country hasn’t gone to wreck and ruin generally? It really does seem as if the Republicans had tried during the past few months to galvanize a graveyard into a massmeeting and had discovered that the corpses would rath* r not be disturbed. ' y To such sentimental, over-loyal Republicans, as never saw au enemy ,j but go about elm bJing "how we ap i pies ? Aim,” and denouncing Demo. ; erats as rebel sympathizers, etc., we 1 give the following as the estimate of them heid by Mr. Lincoln, expressed to radical member of Congress, Ashley, in the pre*m-< <• of that sterling. Democrat, and hero of Cbiearnuuga, ! General Steadman: “Brother Ash-j ley,” said the President, “What would have become of us in tills war if it had not been for tiie lighting Demo erats of the Northwest? Our rebel friends would have had their flag floating at the cap tal, sir. The truth is, Brother Ashley, our party is made up to some extent, of the religious and sympathetic-element and they don’t make first-class soldiers.” «•> It is now stated, says the Indianapolis Sentinel, that Knye» and his attorney general, Devens, have conolud. ud a scheme which they think will have a tremendous effect upon the coming elections, and which will justify Hayes’ veto of the marshal appropriation bill. According to the report, Hayes wants to call an extra ses. sion in September, and to justify the call, he is anxious to show that a great many criminals have escaped trial and aouvietion. through, the want of money to pay marshals. Ao a consequence; rogues must escape so that capital may be made against Demo erats. To carry out the scheme, “Devens’ proposition is to issue secret instructions to the Radical marshals directing them to go easy in all criminal eases. Iu short, to allow every criminal to escape where, with any degree of plausibility, the respousi bility can bo fastened upon Congress for having failed to make the appropriation. This is the plan, and the partisan marshals will readily consent to work up to it. Mr. Devens has control of the marshals, and he things he can manipulate them so as to have, within two or three months, a long list of criminal prosecutions fail.— Then Hayes is to perform his part by calling an extra session of Congress just before the Ohio election. The partisan reports of the marshals, showing how the failure to appropriate resulted iu turning many hardened criminals loose upon the conn ly. is to be laid before Congress in a me.uigo from Hayes, who will assume hat the extra session became absolutely necessary in order to carry on the courts. This pia.ii, so the conspirators think, would pla *e the Demo, •rats in a very ugly position by demonstrating .that in f.iilinr to folio,,\ Mayes’ad.vi.ee, they commitle I a grave

blunder. Thus would Hayes’ policy be vindicated and tiie Democrats condemned.” To insure success, the one Democratic mui shal, Fitzgibbons, of Georgia, is to be removed, and then the Republicans will have full swing. It will be worth while to note how the •scheme progresses. Thanks to W. L. O’Brien, General Passenger and Ticket Agent P. C. & St. L.
