The Blow STRUCK. The blow so long
threatened against the Tariff; has AT last been
struck, SO far ms the Committee ofWays aud
Means of the House of Representatives could
strike it. They reported their bill yesterday.
We presume il is substantially the same as the
plan prepared and furnished 10 the Commit
tee by the Secretary ofthe Treasury, hut of
which the public has never yet been put in
possession officially. With the exception Of
the duty on Foreign Brandy, Spirits, and Cor
diais, the duties range from thirty down to fire
per cent. All the duties are di ia 'orsm. One
very extraordinary feature in this scheme,
land showing the distrust of its authors in its
suilicicncy) is provision that ifin any year it
shall not yield revenue sufficient for the or
binary wants ofthe Government the President
is invested with authority TO lay duty of
ten per cent. on Tea and Coffee, and TO an-
nouuce the fact by proclamnion.-.Nh. Int.

SKcoND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. The cleo
ton of Member Of Congress from this District should
have been brought before the freemen in towns be-
longing to Congressional District No. 2 last week,
but the variety of matter pressing my mind at the
time the Voice went to press, caused delay of I'M
til too late for that number 1t is to be hoped that
each freeman who has the good of his country at
heart and has the constitutional privilege of voting
for the Hon. Jacob Collamer, on the 10th day Of
November, will let 10 ordinary hindrance prevent
the depostng of his vote for MIR. Collamer as Repre-
sentative from that District.
Judge Collamer has shown himself a friend to the
Interests of free labor, and every way competent to
fill the office for which he is nominated, with honor
to himself and with honor to that District, and the
State, and in such way as to benefit the communi-
ty at large. At the first trial Mr.. Colamer lacked
less than hundred votes of receiving majority
and if the real friends of American industry in that
District will rally in earnest, there will be no neces-
sity of having Gov. Eaton order THIRD trial. Pen
eylvania, Ohio, Maine, New Hampshire and New
York call on you to do your duty viii you rouse

HORSESHOE NAIL MAKING MACHINE
Jcdediah Holcomb, Esq. of Brandon, Vt, las
secured patent on machine, or rather, COM
bination Of machinery, for the manufacture of
the best of nails for the use Of horse-shoers, as
well as malleble board and finishing nails
We view this invention as one of unusual i'm
portance, being of that class which is calcula-
ted to effect decided revolution in more than
one important branch Of industry. We can
not describe the machinery without the use of
very expensive engravings, but the principles
cooperation we shall give in brief The best
of iron, carefully selected, is rolled into long
plates 0 to IS inches wide, and these are cut
orosswise into strips 1 IA inch in width
These strips are then subjected to cylindrical
ewodges, whereby the shape of the nail-head
IS formed on both edges of the plate, so that
being cut into nails by the ordinary alternat-
ing process, the nails are nearly completed,
and only require slight amountof finishing.
Mr.. II. has new and original machinery of
every part Of the process, and we can see no
reason why his enterprise should not be crown
ed with complete success.-Scient3Ic Amer

RAILROAD IRON. Tho New England Iron
Company,in Providence, are now turning out,
at their rolling mill, twenty tons of railroad
iron per day, for the Housatonic railroad.
The time will no doubt soon come, when all
our railroad iron will be manufactured in this
country.-lfaa.
There is no great doubt of this, provided suitable
protection is given to the home manufacture; but in
my opinion, on many roads, cast will be substituted
for oropgAt iron. While in New York, recently I
went to 9th and 28h streets for the purpose of ex-
aiming the form of some cast rails which were laid
down a few weeks since for the purpose of expert
ment, and can no reason why they will not an
swer every purpose of the wrought iron rails, provid
ed they are suitably attached to stringeS running
parallel with the road. How much expense may be
saved from such substitution cannot tell since the
preparation of strngers and the placing of the cast
rails will exceed that for laying the Others The diff
ference, however, be readily ascertaned, and no
doubt will be, and made public.
