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.?

of plensant address, quietly sought hiiu

possession of several gold bricks, which he
would sell at n great sacrifice, provided the
transaction was kept secret, lie did not like to
oxplaiu iiow he got the bricks, and hehce his
teason for disposing of them at n good deal less
than their market value. 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

story is told of the lute ('apt. Stone, of

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

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. Slift cultivated public men until Wl
she knew a largo uuiuber quite iutiuiatcly, aa
and eveu so late as 1870, though known but ^
to few, exercised an influence upon the last l'1
Presidential election, which kept one man's .
uioutli shut and possibly chaugcd the result
altogether. 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

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. Mrs. Spraguc occupied a front

spectator. The day that Seuator Cuukliug
was to rise in his scat and demolish the n'(
fraud arrived, aud those familiar with the
programme were in their seats. 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

Now that tho scandal is made public, a dr

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. A family driving towards Edge- pa
wood, just after the extra sessiou, stopped a Sp
runawuy horse hitched to a coupe. Within ne
a short tiuio Senator Conkiing appeared on cu!
the road and claimed the horse and vehicle, tut
