DEFERRED MEWS ITEMS. Coal ou Not Coal.?Some days ago we made Die announcement that Professor Bibikov, a Russian scientist, liad discovered lignite or brOwu coal on Mr. Paul F. Hammond's place ltear Augusta, and that be cousidered it of possibly great value in cheapening feel. Professor Holmes, of Charleston, is out in u long card denying that Professor Bibikov had made any discovery; that the cxistcucc of the deposit had been known for mnuy years, but that tlio lignite was no tuoio combustible than granite. He also held that the deposits were of too recent a date to contain anything more than fossil wood. Professor Bibikov, nothing daunted, roturns to tho charge. lie says he docs not claim the original discovery, but ho does claim the honor of showing thnt it can be utilized.? The Rtyitltr says that gas of superior quality was made by Professor B. in Columbia from this lignite, and that the liguite is combuslble. We presume we Minll have a scries of experiments to decide the qucstiou between these two learned scientists. Wo would say, however, that it is not always safe to argue ngaiust the existence of coal from geologic indications. Years ago it was laid down as an infallible rule thnt coal is always to bo found in the geological strata belonging to the carboniferous period and none other. One of the wnut* of the Pacific coast was coal. California was the land of wonders. Almost every metal had been found there. The pcoplo thought they might also find coal. The State Geologist, Whitney, made an exploration and reported an utter aqscncc of coal In the Slato. But some old miners had nofnith in new-fangled sciences, and they determined to prospect for coat they had done in former years for gold. Amid the sneers of the geologists they wcut to work. To the wonder of all a vein was struck, producing nn abundance of coal of a very fair variety. The scientists then had to ndinit the existence of coal, but they justified themselves by showing that it was nn anomaly, and belonged to a different epoch from all the coal ever found before. Science was at a discount amoug the miners for some years. If this thing occurred in California why may it not happen in South Carolina? If the Russian savant has actually made gas and burned up this lignite, it looks as if he were coming the California game on the scientists. We shall anxiously await developments.?

Corbin replied that lie wasn't a judge of gold bricks and could uot tell their value. "Oh, you may take thcui to aa assayer and have any test ycu please made," replied the accommodating gentleman. The result was a quick bargain. Corbin exchanged his $10,000 iu greenbacks for the bricks aud next day went to inakc a convenient disposition of his largely augmented and unwieldly wealth.

Thirty-five years ago ho came from New Orleans to Moundsville to make his home, and brought with him two seeds of ft mahogany-like tree that flourished near hia former home. These ho planted, remarking te his family that ho would have his coffin made from tho tree. Out of the seeds died, but the other flourished mid grew. From a shoot it became a sapling, and finally, in the course of thirty years, grew to a fine tree. About eight mouths ago a severe wind storm passed over Moundsviile, and Captain Stone fround his tree laid prostrate, lie had it dried, sawed into lumber and sent to a Pittsburg firm. In a short time H was rcturnod to hint in the form of a beautiful collin, and for four months it was preserved in his residence. About two weeks ago he contracted a sickness that culmiunted in his death, and his desire being fulfilled, he was laid away in the coffin he planned thirty-five years ago.? Wheeling ( West Va.)

FURTHER 00S3IP ABOUT THE COKKLlMCh Eai 8PRAQUB'RUMPUS. 8tir Tli(j Northern papers arc filled with con- tj,a dieting uccoiruts and interviews concerning j10t the recout scandalous rumpus between Sena- CQD tor Coukling uudox-ScnutorSpragucntNar- HCU ragnnsctt l'ior. Tbo Washington JW, of cou Tuesday, uoticiug lho origiu of the affair, says: BOU There arc now iu \\ ashington uiany who will remember the first appearance of Kate I Chase iu social circles hero. She was youug, vivacious aud beautiful: thoroughly cduca- q0 ted aud brilliaut. She had been tho inti- eV( mato companion of her father ever since his ?pj, entrance upon tho political areua, aud uioro rlv than ouce hud he relied on hor tact and npt beauty to pull him through sharp political rpj, contests. Iu 1864, whou at tho zcuith of gp her social power, she lent a powerful hand tor towards making her father, the thcu Chief ;t0 Justice, tho candidate of the llepublican ,|? party fur President. She had beeu for sev- 8U| oral years the constant associuto and chief qc confidante of her father, and had become a[>l acquainted with his ambitions, his friends jlo aud his strength. She studied politics with vj( the zeal of a uewly fledged orator, and de- pr voted her wholo mind aud cucrgies to the wj one object of placiug her father in the jn Presidential chair. It was a part of her |,j, ambition also to rcigu as tho first lady of frc the laud. She often talked with her friiuds ;n on this subject, and Iter marriugo with Son- ou ator Spraguc was generally believed to bo one that had ouly this end iu view? wj Spraguc at that time was immensely weal- t|, thy, and the Chase party needed money.? <>/ Spraguo also imperiously controlled the politics of llhode Islaud, aud his money and g. iufluenco were worth haviug iu bobalf of a Presidential candidate. The scheme failed, however. Lincoln was renominated, aud Judge Chase became detached 'rout his ?r party. In 1868, however, he was proniiucutly mentioned as a possible Presidential Pc candidate before the Democratic Couvcutioti, jD! and his daughter, who had at that time be- 0 come Mrs. Spraguo, again took an active part iu his behalf. She was then rccognized in Washington as one of the bright- 8tl est, wittiest and most fasciuatiug women at sl< .l.? xr_a: i ??-1 ir - - At iiiu iiHiiuuai cupuui. ncr passion, as wcil ~ as hor aptness lor politics aud political in- ^ trigucs, seemed to increase with her social "I power.

Her acquaintance with Seua- as tor Conkliug had ripened iuto relations of J?a the most confidential nature. It is believed that she exercised over him a powerful in- ?? flucncc. It is even declared by many who had f.cquent opportunities to kuow Couk- P? ling's opinions duriug the electoral struggle tUuX lia urn* withheld..!)J- MtL SprugUti's in- Pa fluencc from publicly declaring his conviotiou that Tildcn was the rightfully elected rul President, and that his hitherto unaccoun- tin ted for vascillatiou was attributable to this stc cause. At one time he boldly declared that ral the frauds practiced in Louisiana and Flor- 6? ida furnished all the basis necessary ior an 110 overthrow of the pretext that Hayes was au elected, aud for the swearing iu of Tildcu. J!" lie made no secret of his disgust at the cfforts of Johu Sherman aud others to couut un iu Hayes; aud, it is asserted, agreed to make *01 a speech denouncing the fraud, but nothiug u came of it.

Senators Alcorn, Speucer, Couover and several other Republicans were to vote with hint against ca! the approval of the partisan dccisiou of the an Electoral commission. Enough Republican f. voters had been secured to make his victery certain. Col. l'elton, Mr. Hewitt, of fCI New York, aud many other proutiucnt Til- ,D.' dcu managers, had seats in the gallery for Wl the purpose of hearing Coukling's speech. ex To their utter amazement, however, ho did not appear at nil, and it was also ob- J,e served by somo bright people that Mrs. !ie Spraguo was absent for lite first time.? Ja Seuator Alcorn, in fulfilment of his word first voted to reject tho decision of the com- u>( mission, hut after he discovered that some- 88 thing had gone wrong, changed his vote so as to make it accord with his party. It was an subsequently discovered that tho shrewd Ml Radical managers of tho Each Chandler stripe had overcome Conk ling by winning Mrs. Spraguo over to their side. They to hud persuaded her to take an interest iu to Hayes's success, aud, it is said, sho kept sh KT V._i. o uiu new jurx oenaior, on whom so much ga depended, from appearing at tho Senate thi chamber that day. tra Now that tho scandal is made public, a dr thousand incidents of the relations of Mrs. To Sprague and Senator Coukliug nro told.? tlx That they frequently rode out together wt until very late hours, is pretty well known fai to uiuny.

The affair occurred on Friday iniug Either on Weduesday night or ursduy morning Scnutor Coukling ared at Narragausott Pier. Witt) him, or er him, came a trunk and n large valiso. cse articles of baggage were taken to the ruguc inausion by the direction of ScuaCoukling. Ho remained there as a visr the next day, and was 011 a hotel piazza ring tho next evening conversing with ue ladies. During Friday afternoon ivcrnor Spraguo was observed driving M \ * - jui iiuiiu?uu*i;iii pier, naviug oocu ai qic cutcrtaiuiug his guests the uight prc;us, though ho had been ubsent for a day Lwt^Jieforo.

FiuaUy he drovo to the rear of i house, which is about n utile and a half >m the pier, and catnc through the house a somewhat excited couditiou. lie got t to the piazza, whore he found Seuator uikliug eouversiug with Mrs. Spaguc, to wus at a window. Governor Sprugue en said, addressing Senator Coiikliug, kre you armed, sir?" nud Conkling replied: Jo, L urn not." Then," said ex-Governor irague, "I givo you FIVE MINUTES TO GET OFF csc prpuiiscs. If you are not a way I will 0 at you." Ex-Govcrncr Sprnguc is said cu to have made use of some further exusrntingluuguago. Scnntor Conkling sccrng much surprised but remembering thnt 1 wus under cx-Govcruor Sprngue's roof, sc and walked a few steps uway while rs. $praguo came out of tho house aud )od betweeu them." Ex-Governor Spraguo iod looking at Senator Conkling while a rriage drove up which had been ordered to kc Mrs. Spraguc for a drive. Whcu Mrs. trugue fouud that cx-Govcruor Spraguc is apparently determined on au unpleast sceno she called for her hat aud shawl, lieh Mrs. Martin, a friend and a guest in c houso, brought her. In tho house nt c time as guests were Mr. aud Mrs. Mari and Miss Martin and Mrs. Alexander, well as Senator Conkliug. A story which s been circulated here that Senator Couk ig carried nu invalid out of the house is uscnsc. lie wcut away entirely alone, rtcr ex Governor Spraguc repeated his reniptory order to Mr. Conkling to quit s house there was some hesitancy on the rt of the New York scuator as to what ould be done, but scciug no hope of a lional solution lie finally took his liat and tcriug the c Triage went down to the pier, >ppiug on the way at Billington's rcstuu?t. Scarcely had he arrived there and t out of the conveyance than cx-Goverr Spraguc, who had followed, cauio up, d it is therefore certain that the latter ist have kept his horse hitched up ready ' use to follow Scuator Coukling. Ou the ival of ex-Governor Spraguc at Billingi's another cxchango of words took place, t there is not the slightest testimony to aw that at any tiuio a hand-to-hand enuutcr, such as has bccu spokeu of freely ro to day, took place. But it is certain at there was an excited aud threatening lloquy betwecu the two outsido of the >st public spot iu tho whole place, and us itcanio to pass that the most exaggcra1 rumors were set in motion. Sifted down, b foregoing are the principal facts iu the so, so tarns Mr. Conkling und Mr. Spraguo 1 i concerned. As to the alleged cause of o hostility of Mr. Spraguc to Mr. Coukg it is only certain that tho German ichor, so iudiscrcc'.ly and foolishly brought to the matter, hud nothing whatever to do th it.

Mrs. Sprague iu reply nnid that sho was quite unable to nnswer for anything that Mr. Sprague might think or do. She had taken no responsibility for his conduct for u long time, and it was not likely that | she oould long remain in tho samo house with him. It has been known here for souio time that ex-Governor Sprague has contemplated selling tho houso in which this unpleasant iucidcnt took place. A ( great deal of unnecessary scandal has been created by tho injudicious story of n squabble over the German professor, which has not lost auything during the day by tho commentaries of the people at the hotels.
