lion TRADE.-The Pittsburgh Journal states a few
telling facts to the effects OF the Tarifof 1916 spon
the iron trade of Pennsylvania Il cites the case of
Mercer county, and gives these figures:
The various furnaces OF the county, when in full
blast, capable of making pig iron to the amount Of
"a $50 tons.
Under the present Tariff they are producing 259
tons.
Loss of production, 1880 tons.
These furnaces in prosperous times, give en-
pl0yment TO 1860 persons they employ only 1SO
The number ofindivduas who are therefore thrown
out OF employment through the agency OF the Tariff of

case is similar in most otthe other counties of .he State

CI'E'Y AFFAIRS.
REID AND CLEMENTS REC AprURED

Reid and Clements, two of the prisoners who
recently escaped from ILenrico county Jail :, have
been recaptured. They were arrested on Tuesday
morning last, in Gloucester county, in this State,
by Mr.. Ransom White, assisted by two or three
other citizens of that county, were brought to this
city last eveeing in the steamboat from Norfolk,
and safely lodged in Henrico county Jail. These
prisoners being under sentence of death for pira-
cy and murder on the high seas, and having,
moreover, cost the Government $1,000 by their
late exploit, we presume they will now be heavily
ironed and held in close confinement till the de-
cison of the Supreme Court of the United States
in the matter of granting them new trial, shall
be made known.

THOSE GUNs.-The Enquirer makes pother
that MIR. Bolts should have alluded to the guns
now making at the Tredegar Works for the State
OF South Carolina, and ridcules the idea that they
nave any connection with the scheme of seces-
sion. Why, is it not perfectly notorious that the
Legislature OF that State, at it's last session. made
provision for the purchase of arms to maintain
the stand they took for separate secession Is it
not equally notorious, that the Legislature also de-
termined to receive the States quota of the Ian
money, which, like Virginia, it had always before
refused and to apply it to the purchase of arms
and munitions of war? Was not regular plan

OF the militia, and has not Gov. Means been -four.
ishing at the reviews? Surely it cannot be Judge
Caskle's intention, the Enquirers, to deny that
the Legislature of South Carolina took every mea-
sure 1t possibly could to put the State, as Judge
Butler says son the track Of separate secession
Not only were appropriations regularly made for
maintaining the measure, but all the machinery
necessary for its adoption was contrived An
act was passed, providing for the election of dele
gates TO the Southern Congress, and also to State
Convention which is to consider what the South
ern Congress proposes, and to determine finally
what the State is to do. Mr.. Bolts is in error in
supposing that the delegates to this Convention
have yet to be elected They were elected long
since-in the mouth of February. if our memory
serves us. The election was indeed farce for

polled large majority Of the members elected

ed by the Legislature, which is composed of the
same members who constituted it last winter, and
will assemble in December next There can be
no doubt that this secession Legislature will con.
vene the secession Convention, and it is equally
certain that the Convention will declare for Sc
cessIon, unless it be overawed by manifestations
OF public sentiment Its action is fortunately to
be submitted to the people themselves. and the
opinions of those, who think secession will mt
prevail rests upon the influence attributed to
Judge Butler, Mr.. Cheves, Mr.. Burt, Mr.. Orr and
others who are opposing disunion now only in or

is Tor the people of Virgins to say through their
congressional elections whether they will give
new impetus to that dsaffecton This is the bear

"COERCION."

Judge Caskie seems not to like the word
coercion. We have used it, in speaking Of the
right of the CO. States to Judge of the breach of
compact alleged by seeding State, and to bring
her to terms, if need be, by force of arms And
we can adduce an authority, which the Seces-
sionsts hold in special esteem, to sanction if not
the word itself, at leest the thing which it means
Some months ago, we commended to the at

refractory member, the following remarkable
passage from letter of THOMAS JEFFERSON

that Congress have have power by the contedera-

Letter from Paris to E. Darlington, dated August
24th, 1887, Vide, Correspondence, vol. H., p 2o3
Neither the Enquirer, nor any journal that main
tains the right of secession to be indisputabe,
has, within our observation, published or referred
to this authority. 1t shows that Mr.. Jefferson held
that the old Congress of the confederation had an
unquestionable right toeyorce, or coerce, the per-
Torrance by State of all the stipulatons of the
federal compact. He was arguing, in this letter,
that the federal Convention then sitting at Phila-
delphia ought not to endeavor to frame too strong
government, and that the common reason as
signed for their doing so. viz the inability of
Congress to enforce its acquisitions, was unfoun-
ded. If he thought the old federal Congress had
the right to coerce, there can be no sort of doubt
that he afterwards thought the Congress of the
Union possessed the right still more fully
We hope the explicitness of his language will
be observed. "WHEN TWO PARTIES MAKE A
COMPACT, THERE RESULTS TO EACH POWER OF
COMPELLING THE OTHER TO EXECUTE IT. 1t is
impossible to deny either the truth of the general
principle thus asserted, Or the force of its appca-
cation to the case presented by States refusing
t. recognize the obligations of the federal const-
tuition.

The Conrrsss,onnl Eleetllons.


The State of Virginia was most iniquitousiy ger
rymandered at the last Congressional apporlion-
ment and this alone should induce every Wing TO
do his utmost to secure d Wing majority in the
first Legislature under the new constitution, SO
that something like justice may be Obtained
Both the Tide-water and the Piedmont Divisions
of the State are Wing; yet the present appor-
tionfnent gave the Wing party only one certain
district in Eastern Virginia or in the whole State
The Richmond district was especially encountered
with more than its due size in order to alter its
Wing complexion. So, likewise, the Wing voice
of Bedford was sought to be stifled by the Dem
ocracy of Madison and Greene. Nevertheless,
by dint of hard work. it is possible to thwart to
great extent the evil'design which governed the
apportonment. If the Wings would come up
fully TO their duty, they might still carry all the
districts in Eastern Virginia except the Peters
hairs breadth The Accomac district gave Tay-
Tor $40 majority the Richmond, 1913 the Cum
berland 87 the Bedford, 1875; the Spottsyvania,
IS ; and the I.oudoun. 1869 ; whilst Cass's ma.
jority in the Halifax district was only %, and in
tie Norfolk, 224.
By way of convincing the Wing voters of the
Metropolitan district what they have it in their
power to do, we have recently published the
votes of the district in 1S47, l848, and 1649.-
With the same, view, we now give, as well rs
we can, the results of the elections in the same
years, in the 3d. 4th and 9th districts, each one
of which is now the field of an active canvass.
