| UNITED STATES ARMORY, AT SPRING.
FIELD. MASSACHUSETTS.
There ARE, in the United States, only
two csta blshmenis fortho manufacture or
small arms, owned BY the General Gov
erument. One Of those il at flarper's-
Ferry, Va. the other al Springfield, Mass.
correspondent Of the New York Jour-
nal OF Commerce, in a letter dated 18th
inst. gives Some account Of the latter.
The premises owncdby the Government
at Springfield, include about 100 ncres Of
land, divided INTO two parts one OF 90 ~
cres, upon which the armories md part Of
the workshops and other public buildings
are situated; the other Of 40 acres, lying
on Milo River, three quarters OF mile
distant, where the factories worked By wa
tor power are located. The two portions
are connected bys street or avenue rum
ming from one 70 tho other.
Springfield IL situated ON the Connect-
cut twenty, six miles from Hartford, and
contains sixor seven thousand iuhabitants.
The atmory was established there in IL.
05--whch event gave the hrst impulse 10
the prosperity Of the place. tits healthy
and occupies beautiful position. The
number Of men employed BY ihs Govern.
ment is from 200 to 270-ull Of whom are
paid BY the piece, except the Superilltend.
AMI, Master Arnourer, Pay Muster, four
Clerks aud nine Inspectors, who receive
sallries. A good workman can earn from
forty to sixty dollars per nionth. labour-
ing ten hours a day. Some Of the men
employed at this establishment have been
there FOR thirty years, their reputation 40
good mechanics being so well confirmed,
that their services could not well be dis.
pensed with.
During the year 1898, the amount or
expenditure at Springfield, was Si60, $50
SO. fot which the Government manufac.
tufci $4,000 muskets with the necessary
uppendaRes, such AZ screw drivers, vi.
pers, ball screws, &c. Each mtsket cost
about ell 81. The report for 1880, in.
ciudcs the work done during three.fourths
Of the year only---a change having been
made in the fiscal arrangements Of the e.
tablishment, by which the year ends with
September instead ofDecembor. During
that period the Government expenditure
was $l2l ,664 81, for the manufacture Of
arms, and $6,705 81 for machinery
Ten thousand muskets were made with
the usual appendages. A new mode of
constructing the muskets had been adop.
ted, taken from the model Of the French
weapon, although il is stated that tho
French themselves have gone bnck to the
old plan. The improvement has been
rendered available al our armores by
reason oftbe greater precision and mecha-
nlcal skill with which the piece is con-
structed. The particulars Of the new
plan are too minute and technical to be in.
teresting 10 tho general reader.
Since the establishment Of the nrmory.
at Springfield, IN 1875. there have been
manufactured there, 437,460 muskets,
consisting Of 25a,300 bright vanished
pieces and 1s4, l60 brown besides which
in former years few short guns, carbines

MAJOR NoAH.--It is stated in one OF
city papers Of New York, that Major
Noah, late ofthe Evening Star, is to re-
ceive the appointment Of associate Judge
Of the Court of Sessions, 10 the place Of
Judge Sanford, resigned. The appoint.
meni would be capital one, and would
add greatly TO the mercy which would
temper, as well as the justice which would
govern the decisions and proceedings Of
the Sessions bench. The Major is emi-
nently qualified, by his disposition and in
nate humanity, to fill the station proposed,
in manner which would greatly promote
the cause Of justice and Of philanthropy.

retired TO his room, and in an hour after

On entering the apartment, the unfortu.

SeWe can recommend Gen. Jackson's modesty,

he discovered the superior qualifications of other

tehen he is nouc aspiring to the highest Offices IN

at has long been maintained as maxim, that
the man who cannot obey, ought not to command

ssGen jackson, it seems, always thought Mr..
Madison was 'one Of the best Of men, and a

BY LAST SOUTHERN MAIL.
OF THE PILOT
LATER FROM LOUISIANA!

BY last nights Southern Mail, we received
the following cheering information from Louis
ana.
We are indebted to the kindness of an atten-
tive correspondent for the following letter. e.,
NEW ORLEANS, July -, 1910.
To the Editor Of the Pilot
DEAR SiR-We have elected two Wing Con-
grcssmen and a Legislative majority. White is
elected by 2045 majority, and Moore beats VIM
in Garlands District about 300. The result in
Chinn's District is yet doubtful, although the
better opinion is, that Dawson has defeated Judge
Morgan, CVhig) by ID majority. This District
gave Van Buren,, in 1896, $50 majority, and will
vote for Harrison in the fall. Morgan was
brought cut few weeks before the election, for
opposition sake, after Dawson had had the turf
to himself for twelve months. Besides, Dawson
is the strongest Loco Foco in the State, and has
all the aid of the villain KENDALL, and the BEN
eft of his terrified babies to help him. The city
majority is ITO for White, and 1909 for the Lee
gislature
The Tippecanoe Association is entitled to tho
eternal thanks of the Wings of the country for
the noble ana gallant effort maze lor the cause
of Harrison and reform. The members fought
night and day, without relaxation. Mayonean,
Musson, Conrad, M'Caht, and a host of others,
threw their whole souls into the contest. and
fought with the skill, courage, and the GOODNESS
of veterans in the cause.
Henceforth, Danish all doubts of Louisiana
She is safe by $500 for Harrison. We had the
gallant Prentiss of Mississippi, here some weeks
ago, who exhorted us to meet the expectations of
the country, and to send up our voice to the ma
tional capitol in a tones Of thunder-and we did
50! though we expect to hear ofthe death of one
of the young Kendalls. Prentiss gave us the
most brilliant speech we ever heard. Wit, sar-
casm, logic, defamation, humour,-all was
blended together, in style of magnifcence nev-.s
