Why that is no nan.o for the regrets that nearly every one of the o so-called Independents have on account of their folly. They fairly hate themselves, and as fast as their principle can got control of their pride, they will lie coming back shouting for joy of their restoration. Let them be. It is not well to talk politics with them, or let them sec that you suspect them of any disaffection. Above all, do not banter or badger them on their Independence. It is safe to trust nine out of ten of them with political secrets, if they do not suspect that you are baiting them. They are not quite ready to bu coaxod back, but if you can give them to understand that you never believed them really out of tho Republican traces, two to ono they will fall in and pull with the samo old spirit in tho Republican team.

There has boon issued from the Record press scarcely a single sheet in tho last six months that has' not contained some personal nbuse of editor and Congressman Scranton. To these, once in a groat while, mild roply has been made, and the Uncord, editor, emboldened by the silence of tho Rqniblican, seems to have concluded that as tho latter did not lire back, it could not or would not, and so the former's shot kept getting hotter and hotter, until, in self-defence, some demonstration of acknowledgment had to be made, and Scranton's editor was instructed to sling somothing into the enemy's camp just to let him know that tho Republican was not short of ammunition. The order was received with possibly a little too much haste, and in tho hurry of looking for a wad of some kind to startlo tho Record with, the man of tho quill unwittingly seized a polo-cat instead of tho wad, and tossed it over tho wall. It made a shocking smell, and pooplo have been pinching their noses over since. Public opinion, wliilo it does not deny that there was provocation enough for .Scranton to empty a cart-load of polo-cats into Bradley's camp, wonders how tho Congressman could be so imprudent as to do what ho did, for while he could not stink up the Record any stronger, tho lingers of the thrower have been delilod, so that there is much sniffing in his presence, and a very offensive odor iDornDc»tos his atmosphere. This odorous weapon will suggest something worso in tho foul mind of the recoivcr of the stinking moss, and something festered beyond all conception will be prepared for the return throw, and, all the nir will be redolent of nastiness.

I'lTTSBUlto, Aug. 18.—A special dispatch to the Press says: Tho termination of the long striko of the Pan Handle railroad coal miners is not far off. It may end in a day or two. Tho signs of dissolution are ovident on every side. Au element of great potency in forcing tho striko to a conclusion is the condition to which tho families of many minora have been reduced. They are absolutely on the verge of starvation. One hundred miners resumed work the other day at tho old price. To day sixty more loft tho strikers' camp at Mansfield, and, marching to the works of the Mansfield Coal aud Coke Company, offered to go back to tho pits on tho same conditions. The effect of this, it is believed, will be to lead all who are still out and who can obtain employment to follow within a day or two. Tho strikers'" camp at Mansfield is almost deserted. The action of Tuesday's convention in deciding lo continue the strike was unsatisfactory to a largo number of miners, and this disaffected element gradually loft tho camp to return no Year Because of the Wet and Cold Season.

I do not often come upon one who has the faco to brag how strong an Independent ho was, and what a dashed fool ho was, and how glad he is that the regulars never gavo in to tho malcontents. But I have foundovon extreme cases like this. I am told by former Independents that their respect for tho old party was never so strong as now. simply because it had tho beckbono to snap its lingers at the irrecpncilabhs and tell them to go ahead and do their worst.

There is some decline in the activity of tho trade previously reported, but this is confined to the Kasteru market. Tho line and city trade are both reported good. It is not unusual, at this season of the year, to find a dull market Kast, though at present there would seem to be no occasion for it, as prices and freights are lower than they will bo for the remainder of the season. This decline in the Eastern demand is of a temporary character. The stocks in hand are known to be light, and an active trade in that direction must soon set in.
