FOR GOVERNOR IN 1872,

Washington €. »e Painv,

OF FLOYD

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 23,1871.

THE specials to the Cincinnati Enquirer from Washington, give the following as among the last acts of Congiess previous to its adjournment: "Both Houses of Congress adjourned to-day till the 8th of January. There was no business transacted by the House. The dozen or so members who attended amused themselves by making speeches to empty benches. The scene in the Senate was quite the opposter. Not more than five Senators were absent, while the galleries^ were full. The reason of this unusual attendance was the consideration of the House bill granting amnesty to all persons who are disfranchised by the Fourteenth Amendment, except Senators and members Who left Congress to join the rebellion, officers of the army and navy above twenty-one years of age, who resigned to go South and members of State Conventions that passed the ordinances of secession, and who voted for the same,

Mr. Sumner made a most determined effort to amend the bill by adding his supplemental Civil Rights Scheme, which allows colored persons all the privileges of whites in theaters, hotels, concert rooms, cars, etc., but was defeated by one Tote.

Mr. Morton and others sought in every way to amend the bill, so as to exclude Senator Vance from its operations, but in that ti.ey failed. It appears that, while Mr. Vance was active in support of the Confederacy, h© did not resign his seat in Congress, but served his full time till March 4, 1861. The Mississippi Senator, Alcorn, was a Brigadier General in the Confederate army. Governor Vance at one time held the sam® position, yet most of the Republicans seek to exclude him and make uo objection to Alcorn. After dozens of amendments had been voted on, the Senate was just about to reach a vote on the passage of the bill, when it became evident that some of its friends had left the Chamber, and it was allowed to go over till January rather than fail now. So Mr. Sumner's charge that it was intended the bill should be a Christmas present to the rebels wa- not realized. It wa* noticeable that Senator Scott, Chairman of the Ku Klux Committae, who has traveled all through the South the past summer, was one of the most zealous supporters of this amnesty bill."

Ainuesly.

After six hours wasted in profitless discussion, the Senate adjourned for the holiday recess, leaving the Amnesty bill unacted upon. The only amendment which was added to the bill came from Senator Morton, and it was only successful after a third trial, by the close vote of 29 to 2G. This amendment is aimed at Vane®, contesting the seat from North Carolina, and makes him ineligible by providing that no oue whose election to office was void at the passage of the bill shall be aided or made valid by its provisions.

We can see no sufficient reason for such an amendment, unless to gratify personal feeling against certain individuals. There is not a particle of good sense in it, or any necessity for it. Why can not our Senator open the portrals of his heart wide enough permit his mind to be comprehensive enough enlarge his Christianity enough, and stretch out his philanthrophy long enough to favor universal amnesty He will feel better after he has once made up his mind to it, for a right action always brings it reward.

Senator Morton's constituents are iu favor of amnesty. Nine out of every ten are for it, and he mistakes his duty as their representative, when he tosses impediments in the way of its becoming the law of the land.

A. K. MCGWIRE, the late Chairman of the Republican Committee in Pennsylvania, and one of the most prominent men in that State, has written a letter in which he strongly opposes the renomination of Grant. He says: "If Republicanjcriticisin of a Republican Administration is an offense, why is the cry for reiorin not silenced It comes from our own long-forbearing people, and not from the enemy, and it arraigns Republican, not Democratic, misrule. It comes up to Congress from every section of the country for relief from oppressive taxes, from wasteful expenditures, from peculations and defalcations, and from swarms of arrogant and useless officials, whose chief employment seems to be to instruct tho party whom it must accept lor places of trust and profit, from President down to Alderman."

THE country has been flooded with telegrams announcing the serious illness of the Hon. William H. Seward. The New York &wi is authorized to print the following:

AUBURN, N. Y., Dec. 19—4 P. M.—William H. Seward is perfectly well, and has not been otherwise. At present he is driviug out to Owasco Lake in a sleigh. There is no truth in the report of his ill-

To the Editor of the Tribune: Siii: iiutv propofSH to di.seus

pro|v«*H to diseu-s the

pstypical and chemical properties of the block coals of Indiana and their adaptation to the manufacture of the highest grades of bar-iron and Bessemer steel.

The term "block," as descriptive of a peculiar class of coals, is an alliteration in the geological vocabulary, but it has now become so firmly routed that ii must hereafter be recognized. The physical charaltrs of the coal are these: There are two systems of joints,, traversing tbosearn perpendicularly, which cut the whole mass iuto quadrangular blocks two or three feet long and afoot or more broad and the minor availing himself of those natural divisions, after having undermined the base,is enabled to pry out the blocks without a rosort to gunpowder. He can easily take down three tons a day. These joints appear to have been formed after the materials entering into the structure oi the coal wvre deposited, and are due to a force acting independently of that of consolidation. Where a considerable area is laid bare by stripping the surface, the seam resembles a tesseiated pavement. Viewed in sections, the appearance is as though block upon block, each of uniform size, had been piled up by the hands of mau. In entering the drifts, the zig-zag appearance reminds oue of a Virginia fence. The sides of the blocks are smooth, of a dull-bluish color, and are often stained white with fireclay, but, if cleft longitudinally, there is seen amass of mineral charcoal so slightly cemented with bitumen, that it readily crocks on handling. 'The blocks are splintery on cross-fracture, but longitudinally they come out in thin flat sheets, ike roofing slate. Such are the external characters of the coal near Brazil but further south in Spencer county, while it is so far consolidated that it breaks longitudinally with a splintery fracture, and may be rubbed with a white handkerchief without communicating any crock.

This coal when thrown on a fire at once ignites with a crackling sound, and burns with a bright yellow flame, giving off little fuliginous matter. It is noncaking, or in other words, does not run together, thus affording free air passages. It is so far free from sulphur that it leaves behind a white or gray flocculeut ash, and, subjected to the strongest draughts, it gives no clinker. Hence, it Is an admirable coal for locomotives, by reason of its rapid combustion, its freedom from clinker, and its disposition not to form a hollow arch, which in the fatty coals must from time to time be broken up to 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 incombustible. This inconvenience appertains to the coals at present used iu the blast furnace, but it would be absent in the more compressed coals before referred to. From careful assays it is ascertained that this coal gives from 57 to62 percent, of fixed carbon, a small amount of hygrometric moisture, aud a small amount of ash, whose whitish and fiocculent character would indicate the comparative absence of the bi-sulphuret of iron

The Pittsburgh coals differ very slightly in composition from the block coals of Indiana, aud yet we know that they behave altogether differently in combustion. The latter will make iron in a nude state, while the former require that the volatile materials be expelled, and the product used in the form of coke. This difference probably results from the mechanical texture of the coals. In the case of the block coals there are thin partitions of a eannel-like nature, which prevent the cells filled with bitumen, from coalescing and rendering tumid the whole mass.

The volatile materials play an important part in the combustion of coal. We know that the anthracites 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 steftm andiron smelting purposes while the Rhode Island anthracites, still richer iu fixed carbon, will be consumed only in the great day of universal conflagration. So far as relates to the presence of the deleterious elements of sulphur and phosphorous in the block coals, little has been done by the chemists to estimate their quantity. In fact, this remark will apply to most of the assays of coals iu the United States. I require'I Prof. Delafontaine, a gentleman every way competent to enter upon this investigation, to apply the tests to the splint variety of the Brazil seam occurring in the western part of Spencer county, aud specimens were selected from what is known as the Staab Mine for that purpose. The assay of two specimens of this coal by the ordinary method gave the following results: Water at 212° ... l.a5 Fixed enrbon 58 23 62.81 Volatile matter 37.11 38.81 .Ash, white 2.80 2.41

Two and one-half ounces of this coal were submitted to distillation in a closed vessel with the following result: Coke 63.05 Tar aproximatively 15.30 Water do 15.11 Gas o.97

The water contained ammonia and other soluble chemicals, besides a small amount of hydrosulphate of ammonia. The amount of phosphoric acid was 0.3, aud the amount of sulphuric acid was 0.0.

Compared with the English coals of Ponty ville, Bedsaw, Ebor Vale, &c., 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 sulphur, in the Staab coal there was an entile absence. Compariug these results with the amount phosphoric acid contained in the ashes of elm, oak and apple tree wood, the result is that while the Staab coal contains only 0.3 per cent, of this deleterious ingredient, these wood ashes contain all the way from 4.19 to 9.61 per" cent. Thus it will be seen that there are coals in the Indiaua fields which are freer from the element phosphorous, so deleterious in iron-makikg, than charcoal itself. The same rigorous tests ought to be extended to every portion of the Brazil seams.

These block coals, we know from experience, when tested in a blast furnace, have all the qualities nf charcoal, combined with a greater reducing power. Two and one-half tuns of coal are required to made a tub of iron. They are not quite as strong in fixed carbon as the Eahouing or Shenango coals, where two tuns only are required, but they produce a more highly esteemed pig metel: What Mushet said in his great work on iron, in reference to a 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 aud combustibility of wood, and the effects produced by it. in the blast furnace, either as to the quality or quantity ofiron, ftirexceed everything in the manufacturure 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: *'Withoutfear of contradiction, I pronounce the block coal of Indiana 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 iu every respect equal to the best charcoal iron made from the same ores. In the puddling furnace a less quantity is required of block coal than of

the best Pittsburg ooals to make a run of bar or wrought iron. The bars aie brought off in a shorter space of time, and the quality of the iron is better. The gray pig iron, made with the raw block, coal, in Clay county, from a mixture of "011 Lake Superior and Missouri hematite

ores, is used with excellent, results in the manufacture of Bessemer steel at Oilicago. Mr. Robinson, the Superintend-

ent tin' Union Rolling Aiiiis ihtre, writes that 'ilie Indiana coal .seems to be just the thing for steel.'"

It is a significant fact that the puddled iron made at Indianapolis from blork coal pig is employed at Pittsburg in forging gun barrels. J. W. FOSTER.

Four Evils.—Whoever habitually uses any alcoholic preparations as an "appetizer" will be likely to suffer from four evils, viz.: an overplus or food in the stomach, impaired ability to digest it, the pangs of dyspepsia, and a doctor's bill. DK. WALKER'S VEGETABLE VINEGAR BITTKKS, the great Teetotal Restorative of the age, without over stimulating the palate of irritating the stomach, imparts a healthful appetite, promotes digestion, regulates the liver and bowels, purifies the blood, and thus, instead of entailing four evil*, confers four inestimable benefits. 6dw4w
