Hotf. .TOH« FT^H,, member o' the National Executive Committee for West Virginia, has resigned that position, not liking his company though he has alwars acted with tba Democratic party hitherto.

If place of Hon. W B. WASHBORN, Governor-elect of Massachusetts, the Republicans have nominated Hon.

SBWATOR SUW^BR, in a "whereas" to his one-term resolution, makes General HIRRMOW

the "follower in the footstep*'

of General JiCKiow. It was MARTrw VAWBURISV who achieved notoriety in the "footstep" bisines. It will he remembered that HIRRISOW and VAN BoRKV we-e rival candidates The latter was the immediate s.icoewir of iCKSOf, and was acci«t.omed to u«e the expression, "I follow in the footsteps of my illustrious predecessor"

Philadelphia "Press" learns that

at last a mon-iment. is to he erec'ed over the grave of TmnnEOs SrwvBNS. The executors of his estate have commissioned a monumental sculptor to erect a hand some grani'e monument, with marble tablets, in Shreiner's Cemetery, where the Great Commoner lies burried. The "Pres" pavs it has been hoped heretofore that either the colored people of the United S'ates or the publicschool children of Pennsylvania would raise a memorial to the great benefactor of both, but it seems that Mr.

executors have

not thought proper to let his grave re mtin anv longer without anything to mark its place.

A PROMtvtciT .tourvatj commends, as sensible an! tim^Iv, the suggestion of Gov Btowff, of Missouri, that all murderers acquitted because of- insanity should at once be iacarcerated in lunatic asylums, and that the judges trving such ca»es be required bv law to see to it that the acquitted and murderous madman is at once consigned to a place where he will be harmless to his fellows. Certain ly it is a perversion of justice to let loose upon society a being whose hands have been imbrued in the blood of one of his fellows. The insane, and perhaps uncontrollable desire to kill, mav re'nrn at any minaent, and cause the sacrifice of more innocent people.

THRRK will be four State tickets in Connecticut next spring as well as in New Hampshire Republican, Democratic, Prohibition and Labor Reform. The Labor Reformers are dissatisfied with the less than half-way endorsement of their peculiar policy by the Prohibitionists, and will hold a Convention at Bridgeport on Jannary 31, proximo, to nominate a State ticket. The comprehensive title of Union Reformers adopted by the Prohibitionists, it will, therefore, be seen, has not been so practically inclusive as was anticipated Leading parties in both New Htmp«hire and Connecticut profess to be very san guine of victory: but with so many political divisions in both States, it woaid be very hard, we should suppose, to assume much positiveness on this point.

Ordination of a Wonun as Pastor of a Chnrch. Miss Mary H. Graves was ordained as pastor of the Unitarian Church, in Manafield, Bristol county, Massachusetts, on Thursdav, December 14. She is a grad* uateof the State Normal School at Salem, during her attendance at which place she first became interested in the ministerial work. After graduation she pursued, under the direction of Rev Olympia Brown, of Bridgeport, Connecticut. then at Weymouth, Massachusetts, the coarse of study prescribed at the Universalis Theological School at Can ton. For the past year she has been serving as pastor of the church in Mansfield, over which she has been now ordained. The lady is the first who has entered the Unitarian ministry in Massa ch'isetts, and the «econd in the denomination. Mrs Celia Burleigh, of Brooklvn Connecticut, being the first.

THK New York "Tribnne" thinks the names of tho?e persons in Massachusetts, against whom the liquor law is executed] are strikingly suggestive of a distant is!ind spoken of as "the gem of the sea," and that parties offending who have not a big O against their names seem to have .been most unfairly neglected.

The Indiana Soldiers* Home Burned.

ORPHANS' HOMB EWIBELYSAFE.

Loss Nearly Covered hy InHuranee.

Yesterday morning about 5 o'clock a fire broke out at the Soldiers' Home near Knightstown, in the old hotel building, which is distant from the Orphans' Home some twoorthiee hundred yards The hoe! was almost wholly destroyed, only the hospital wing and a few acescent cot (ages being saved, together with most of he furniture. Tbere was no loss ol life or injury to any one of the fi'ty or sixty inmates, all of whom were infirm or dis abled soldiers.

The building was not very valuable, having been for many yearn occupied as a hotel before being converted ino a "Home." There is an insurance of $3, 000 in the Triumph, of Cincinnaii^-a good company upon the property, which will nearly cover the Io*s.

Steps will be taken at once to rebuild the Home, and meantime nearly all the inmates can be cared for in the buildings saved, while the rest will be sent to the Home at Dayton, Ohio.

Dr. Hannaman, President of the Board, at once left for Knightaiown, and will soon have a force of mechanics at work upon a new structure.

The relatives and friends of the children in the Orphans' Home need not entertain a moment's uneasiness either in regard to their safety or comfort. The fire was entirely «eparate from the children's com fortable quarters, and nothing will enter fere ia anv manner with the little ones.— Ind. Journal.

The Block Coal# of Initana—Tiieir liysical and Chemical characters —Their Adaptation to Iron-Smelt ing and Bessemer Steel JUaoufac tnre. Corresptndsnee of the N. Y. Tribw'-i 8rn: now propose to discam the physical and cheipical properties of the block coals o. Indiana and their adaptation to the manufacture of the higher grades oi bar iron and Bessemer sieel.

The term "block," as descriptive of a peculiar class of coals, in in alliteration of the geological vocabulary, but it has now become so firmly rooted that it must here after be recognized. Tne physical char actersof the coal are these: There are two systems of joints, traversing the seam perpendicularly, which cut the whole mass into quadrangular blocks two or three feet long aud a foot or more broad, and the miner availing himself of these natural divisions, alter undermining the (a-e, is enabled to pry out the blocks without a resort to gunpowder. He can easily take down three tuns a day. These joints appear to have been formed sifter the materials entering into the structure of the coal were deposited, and are due to a force acting independently of con»olida tion. Where a considerable area is laid bare by stripping the surface, the seam resembles a tesselated pavement. View ed in section, the appearance is as though block upon block, each of uniform size, had been piled up by the hand of man In entering the drifts, thezig saw appear ance reminds one of a Virginia fence. The siilen of tle blrxik* *re smoot h, of a dull bluish color, and are often stained white with fire clay, but, if cleft longitudinally there is »een amass of mineral charcoal so slightly cemented with bitumen, that readily crocks on handling. The blocks are splintery on cross fracture, but longi tudinallv they come out in thin flat sheets like roo6ng slate. Such are the external characters of the coal near Brazil, but further south, in Spencer county, while it has thesame blocklike arrangement, it i» so far consolidated that it breaks longi tudinallv with a «plin:ery fracture/and may be rubbed wiihawhite handkerchief without communicating any crock

This coal when thrown on a fire once ignites with a crackling sound, and burns with a bright yellow fiame, giving off little tuliginous matter. It is non caking, or in other words, does not run together, thu» affording fiee air passages Ii is so far free from sulphur that it leaves oehind a white or gray ilocculent asb and, subjected to the strongest draughts, it gives no clinker. Hence, it is an ad mirable coal for locomotives, by reason of its rapid combustion, Its freedom from clinker and its disposition not to form hollow arch, which in the fatty coals must from tin.e to time be broken up to afford free air passages. These qualities, too, insure the integrity of the grate bars wherever burned. It is sufficiently firm to hold up the burden of a furnace, and the only inconvenience experienced is in the amount of "dust," or fine particles of mineral charcoal which are nearly in combustible. This inconvenience appe tains to the coals at present used in the blast furnace, but it would be absent in. ihe more compressed coals before referred to From careful assays it is ascertained that this coal gives from 57 te 62 per cent of fixed carbon, a small amount of hygrometric moisture, and a small amount of ash, whose whiush and flocculem character would indicate the com para tive absence of the bi-aulphuret of iron

The Pittsburg ooals differ verv slightly in composition from the block coals of Indiana, and yet we know that they be' have altogether differently in combustion The latter will make iron in a crude state, while the former require that the volatile material* be expelled, and the pioduct used in the form of coke. This difference probably results from theme chanical texture of thecoals. In the case of the block ooals there are thin partitions of a cannel-like nature, which prevent the cells filled with bitumen, from coalescing and rendering tumid the whole ma-a.

Tbe volatile materials play an important part in the combustion of coal. We know that the antnracstes of Pennsylvania, which contain eighty per cent, or more of fixed carbon, in a strong draught burn well, and are highly esteemed not only as a household fuel, but for steam and iron smelting purposes while the Rhode Island anthracites, still rioher in fixed carbon, will be consumed only in the great day of universal conflagration So far as relates to to tbe presence of* tbe deleterious elements of sulphur and phos phorus in the block ooals, little has been done by the chemista to estimate their quantity. In fact, this remark will apply to most of the assay's of coal in the United States. I requested Professor Delafontaine, a gentleman every way competent to enter upon this inves tigation, to apply the tests to the splint varietv-of the Brazil seam occurring in the Western part of Spencer county, and specimens were selected from what is known as the Staab Mine for that pur pose The assav of two specimens of this coal by the ordinary method gave the fol lowing results: Water at 212 deg. 1.86 3.41 Volatile matter 37 11 30 84 Fixed aarbon- „.„.58 23 62 8t Asb white 2.8*) 2.44

Two and a half ounces of this coal were aubmitted to distillation in a closed vessel with the following result: Coke ...... —...63 08 Tar approximative!?- ...15.30 Water 1511

The water contained ammonia and other soluble chemicals, besides a small amoant of bydrosulphate of ammonia The amount of phosphoric acid amounted 0.3. and the amount of sulphuric acid wa* 0 0.

Compared with the English coals of Pontypool, Bed was, Ebor Vale, etc, the amount of phosphoric acid in the latter

was far greater In every instance and while in the English coals there was a notable percentage of solphur, in the Staab coal there was an entire absence. Comparing the*e results with the amount o' pho*phoric acid contained in the ashes of elm, oak and apple tree wood, the re rait is that while the Staab coal contains only 03 per cent, of this deleterious in gredient, tbe* wood ashes contain all the way from 419 to 9.61 per cent Thus it will be seen that there are coals in the Indiana fields which are freer trom the element phosphorus, so deleterious in iron making, than charcoal itself. The same rigorous tests ought to be extended to every portion of the Brazil seams.

These block ooals, we know from-ex-perience, when tested in a blast furnace have all the qualities of charcoal, combined with a greater reducing power. Two and one-half tuns of coal are required to make a tun of iron. They are not quite as strong in fixed carbon as the Mahoning and Shenango coals, where two tuns only are required, bat they produce a more highly esteemed pig metal. What Moaher said in bis great work on iron, in reference to certain Welsh coal, is applicable in every respect to the block coal of Indiana: "To the purity of splint coal it unites all the softness and combustibility of wood, and the effects produced by it in tbe blast furnace, either as to the quality or quantity of iron, far exceed everything in the manufacture of that metal with charcoal."

Prof. Cox, in charge of the Indiana State Geological Survey, bears the following emphatic testimony as to the quality of these coals for iron-smelting: "Without fear of contradiction, I pronounce the block coal of ludiaha the best mineral fuel yet known to the world for the manufacture of pig metal, bar iron, or steel- In the blast furnace it produces a metal in every resfttot equal to the best charcoal iron made from the same ores. In the puddling furna^ a less quantity is required of block coal than of the best Pittsburg coals to make a run of bar or wrought iron. The bars are brought off in a shorter space of time, and the q»ality of the iron La better. The grar Pe 'ron made with the raw block coal, in Clay county, from a mixture of Lake Superior and Missouri hematite ores, is used with excellent results in the manufacture of Bexsemer steel at Chica go. Mr Robinson, the Superintendent of the Union Rolling Mills there, writes that "the Indiana coal seems to be just the thing for steel"

It is a significant fact that the puddled iron made at Indianapolis from block coal pig is employed at Pittsburgh in forging gun barrels.

A Murderer on Oratory.

We have received from a good friend in Virginia the following further illustra tion ol the extent to which the insensibil ity of criminals is carried.

While still a very vonng man. on ac count of his uncommon ability and legal acquirements, Mr. Richard Coleman was made jude of one of the eastern circuits in Virginia in the year 18—. Having hitherto led the lite of a student and scholar, he had no extended reputation except among his brethren, and as conneced wUh the profession, and had never been in politics. Shortly af'er he went upon the bench a most cold blooded and cruel murder was perpetrated in his district bv a very notoriously bad man. The murderer was apprehended, tried, and convicted of murder in the first degree Judge proceeded to pronounce tbe sentence, tne nrm. tn imj xrer bad to, which he h»d prepared with great care, and, as he himself said, the best of which he was capable, and. which he bad afterward in similar sen tences been obliged to make the basis of them all. Such was the solemnity *of the occasion and the fervid eloquence of the judge that all who listened to the sentence passed were moved to tears—all except the prisoner at the bar, who was observed to be looking at the ceiling, and to pay no attention whatever, appearing wholly indifferent to what was going on. After he had been remanded to jail, one of the junior members of the bar having his curiosity excited, and Judge C. also wishing to know what effect his elo quence had had upon the criminal, went into the cell where the prisoner was and inquired of him how he felt when Judge was passing sentence on him. "What?" said the criminal, "what do yon mean?' "I.mean when the judge was telling yon that you were to be hung and urging you to prepare for the awful doom that await ed you." "You mean when he was talk ing to me?" "Yes." "Oh I- I never paid no 'tention tp Dick Coleman he ain'i no public speaker nohow."—"The Galaxy CM-Room" in January Galaxy.

Madame Ra^etzky's Romance. From tko Albany Knickerbocker, Dtc 20. Among the distinguished personages who visited police-headquarters at AI bany. on Monday, was Mr. Soldatakoff, a Russian, who is one of Prince Alexisr party. While viewing the objects of interest about the rogue's gallery, the dis tinguished foreigner was struck by the face of one of the females in the frame. If his recollection served him right, he knew the woman, and of course instiga ted some inquiries. Upon consulting the book containing the names of the persons represented, It was found that th6 face identified by the stranger was set down aa Madame Gratowski, which was an alias. Soe was arrested on the charge of shoplifting at the stores of several of our merchants, and after trial was sent to Sing Sing prison for three years and six months. The stranger said the woman was a native of his country, that her name was Radetsky, and she was the daughter of one ef the first families of the empire and what was more, since her departure, having, by tbe way, eloped, her father died, leaving her an immense for one. Chief Maloy and Captain Hale both recollected the woman well, and her general description given by the stranger corresponded with their impressions ex actly. These officials also assert that the woman served out her time at Sing Sing, but has been arrested within a year at New York, and is now at Sing Sing serving out another term. The stranger made a memoranda of all that the Chief and Captain Hale said, and informed those officers that he would make the fact known to the Prince, who was acquainted with the circumstances connected with the case,, and between them an effort would be made to secure the pardon of Madame Radetsky.

An Odd Case.

A very odd case has occurred in Gloucester county, N. J. About six weeks since a member of the Catholic church at Swedesboro died, and was buried in the churchyard in a lot owned by the widow. Prior to his death the deceased had been derelict in his religious duties, and tbe priest ordered the remains to be removed from the burial grounds. This was done at night and the corpse buried outaide the ground. This having been ascertained. a party of the friends of the deceased again dug up the body and Replaced it in the original grave. On the following Sunday such of the party as belonged to the Catholic Church were expelled by the pHest. The Grand Jury of Gloucester have now indicted the priest and ^his coadjutors as resurrectionists, and he, in retailiation, is about to bring suits for trespass against those who replaced the body in the burial ground.
