NHW Yoitu, August 29, 1879. !
The pleasautest occurrence I have 1
to chronicle this week, not no much to t
the parties immediately concerned perhaps,
but eeilainly welcome to everybody
else, is the tinal bunking down
of the great coal combination which (
for lour years past has htonopoli/.ed !
(lie trade in anthracite coal, controlled "
its mining and transportation, and reg- *
..l.j I .1 j . - 1 . '
uiuiuu uiu |irnx.i km- i ik' country lo v
suit its own convenience. The string- J
envy of the timer* lias been squeezing 1
various of the members of tins ring, 1
vvhjo.fi is mainly composed of railroad ^
corporations lor somo months, and at '
last brought such a pressure upon l
them that carrying their share of the :l
ring's load became Loo great a burden. v
The results were increasingly frequent ^
secret breaches of agreement in the c
cutting of prices, and r.osv the whole 11
tiling has fallen to po-eies by its owji f
weight. It is therefore a ray ol sun- '
shine thrown upon the piospeet ol the c'
approaching winter that luel will be
within the reach ol more people than <]
lor years past. y
The most unpleasant one is a*bout v
musquitoes. Now is the season when
the New Jersey marshes and Long 1
Island sands breed these vampires so :i
large that many of them have to take ^
the ferry boat lo get across to this ci- s
ty. This may seem a little strange or iJ
even exaggerated to parlies residing at c'
a distance, but all such must remembor
that it is a newspaper man's duly 1'
lo toll the whole truth unflinchingly, c
even though he thereby jeopardizes his Kl
reputation for strict veracity. Still I ?
should be sorry to have even one of ^
youi readers lose confidence in me, so w
I will try and neutralize any ill effect c
which might result from the above
statement by repealing on3 which was n
told me in confidence tins morning by w
a friend of mine, also a journalist.
Tliis statement, which was made under ?
oath (that is, accompanied by consid- 11
orable profanity) runs as follows; My ^
friend relates that on retiring to bed
last night alter tho few glasses of beer ri
which lie says his physician has pre- ?
scribed as a tonic, he sunk at once into b
a refreshing slumber. But a few !l
iniuutes had elapsed, however, when y
lie was roused to a sembconcious eondi- o
lion by feeling something walking
over his chest. Supposing it to be I
only the dog ho made a puss at it, ^
which caused the weight to he roinov- C1
cd, hut which started a peculiar noise ti
? something like a tug whistle, only '
not so steady. l?ut the beer had a ?
strong sedative influence and so my
Iriend just sunk ofl again to a confused
dream ahout Levy's coming down tl
front Gilmorc's and sailing around his it
room on a cornet which kept up a T
droning blast of supernatural power.
The next thing he knew, something a'
took hold ol him with a pair of red hot
pinchers and hauled h'nn half out of ''
bed. A wild blow in the dark releas g
ed bint, but started up the cornet
agum. Then he realized as fully as m
the beer would permit, that he was j>
dealing with a New Jersey mosquito. O
Of the remaining horros of that night *t
my poor friend could not bring him- w
self to speak, rSullice it to say that ej
when morning came ho found that he is
blacked both his eyes, flattened his t'
nose and brought out one cheek to w
look like the mumps; and being still a 1 Ci

Letter from (Jon. MeClellau.
N ii\v Yokk, Aug. 25tli,'7d.
Tlio following is :i letter of (Jon.
McClellan to :i Iriend in Now York.
Com:no, Canada, Aug. 10, 1870.
J/y denr iSir: Your vory kind loiter
ol lho loth lias ivallied mo. and t
quite concur wilh \ on.
Deeply i in pressed by the gravity ot
the issues involved in the approaching
Presidential election, believing
tiiai the honor ot the country and the
well bting ol the people depend in no
small degree upon the result, 1 l? el
compelled to depart from the reserve
that has become habitual to ino, and
express the earnest .convictions that
press upon me.
1'ndor a constitutional government
the formation ot political parties is a
necessary consequence ol the diversity
ol human minds and interests. Sentimentalists
in their closets may dream
ol an ideal Republic, all of whose
citizens arc perlcctly wise, virtuous
and, consequently, unanimous; but
such a dream can never be realized on
tins earth, and wo must recognize the
fact that political parties arc not only
necessary, bill beneficial, acting as
lhey do as checks upon each other.
Experience has shown, in all constitutional
countries, that when any party
possesses uninterrupted power for a
very long time, especially when the
minority is too weak to interpose any
Iheieut check upon the actions o! the
najorily, the tendency is that the
lenders become careless and reckless,
urget that there is any power to
x Inch they are responsible, look upon!
(lice as a personal possession and re- .
yard, rather than a public trust, and
earn to regard their tenure as peruancuit.
.So, too, the legislative
iodies become inclined to a system ol
xtravagance, which engenders cor- '
option, facilitates the lormation ol 1
bigs, and finally destroys the prosper- '
ty ot the people. <
The only sure remedy in such a case,
s that the people shall, through the '
?allol-ln?x, place the former opposition 1
ii power.
That our country is now in thecon ^,'
lit ion just described is ploved hy the '

ut regard to puny. i
Ani'ing I)emocrats there is no doubt
s to the manner in which tho change c
hoitld bo accomplished.
With many Urpuhlieans tho qties- 1
ion is whether they call trust the pro- '
i-xsions of their party, or whelhet I
hey must take tho disagreeable step }|
t breaking away from old political c
ssociations, by leaving tiie party mi- 11
of w hose administration all tho evils 1
I which they complain havo grown 1
p, and act with the Democrat:*, who, (1
loin the force ol circumstances, must -1
eeessari'.y he relormers. "
I have the highest lespect for the
crsoiial character and intelligence ol :l
lie Republican candidate for the 0
'residency, and believe him to he an &
plight gentleman; but it seems to me
uite impossible that he can change t

The leaders who contiol and shape 0

lection as now, and it is idle to hope

hem. v
It is now abundantly evident that c
ad not a Democratic House been u
lected in 1871, it would have been '
npos.siblo to unearth the various in- 11
lances of maladministration that b
ave coine to light, and it is equally v
'.ear that until the Government passes c
ito the hands ot the Democrats, wo b
hall never know the whole truth, a
whatever it may he; and we need to v
now the truth as to the past, that it ~
lay servo to guide us in tho luture. a
Relieving, as I firmly do, that every b

nd individual interest, demands the 1

prompt inauguration of a policy
which shall, io the briefest practicable
time, reduce every governmental expenditure
to the lowest point common*
aura'.u with lienor ami efficiency;
regarding the reform of the civil service
in iu broadcast sense, ami with
it the entoiceinent upon office holders
of the conviction that their only business
is to perform their public duties,
ami not to manipulate patty, as an* inherant
part of this reform; satisfied
that it must he accompanied by financial
measures steadily directed towards
the resumption of specie payments
within the shortest possible
period, 1 cannot lor a moment doubt
that these all-iiupm(aut ends will be
best, and in laet only, attained by the
election of the candidate ol the Democratic
party.
lint questions of finance and reform
arc not the only ones which affect our
present and I mure.
The recent war settled forever certain
vexed questions; lor example, the
asserted right ol secession has disappeared
in a sea ol blood; slavery iias
been abolished, never to reappear; to
ilie negro lias been given the rights
of citcnship and suffrage. W'o have
nothing more to do with these results,
save to accept flu in frankly, an 1
watch that they lemaiu intact. After
m inyjirials and liibulalioii , the Slates
not long since arrayed in aims against
the general (iovernincnt, have re-established
their relations with the Union,
and regained t heir autonomy.

but most gallant foe, and selfish policy,
alike demand iliat we .?liuiiM leave no
just tiling undone that will restore
peace and well-being to the South,
ie establish Ira'cinal feelings in the
hearts ol all our people, and cause our
recent enemies lo be proud of and love
the Government oi the :U moo and its
flag. The welfare of the North is inseparable
from that ol the South, and
our country can never attain its lull
force and vigor nutil peace, .prosperity
and kind feeling reign throughout its
broad domain.
I believe that this end can best be
reached by respecting the autonomy of
the individual States, so long as they
respect.Llm obligations ol the Federal
compact.
Allowed lo govern themselves, public
opinion, self-respect and a regard
for their own interest will certainly
sulHoe to induce the Southern States
to place good men in ollieo and to enforce
the laws. While ol the opinion
that Federal interference should never
fie resorted to, except in tho cases provided
lor in the Constitution, I also
think that, ,il any outrages are commit- 1
led upon the rights, persons or pro- j
perty of any citizen, whatever his (
race, whether white or black, and the
State authorities neglect or hesitate to ,J
do their duty, the General Govern- 1
incut should urge an 1 aid them in ]
every legal way to cnlorce order and ,
justice, ami should use all its legitimate
inilnciicu in ilu*t direction.
1 Int, J have sulticicni taith in the 'i
honor and ability of our Southern c
brethren to believe ili it, when lull to i
themselves, they will we.l know how
to cnlorce jnst laws, and see tiro i lie .

In Mr. Tilden I am confident that fi
we have a candidate possessing all the t
'etpiisites t hut the exigencies of the
ime demand. In n long career he
ins given ilie surest pronfs of ability 1J
iiul integrity. Il is a very easy thing t
.(> preach reform to uu opponent, but I
i very different affair ilu carry it out f,
n one's own party. ,
This Mr. Tilden has h id the rare *
murage and ability to do. Against
jreat obstacles he c.omiucnc.cd and car- 'i
led through the Herculean ta*k ol p<
igiiting corruption and pursuing the r(
dundcrers in his own party, and it is
dinosj btipeifi ions to say that the
murage, energy, untiring persevor.
