PHtL11r WlNFREE ESQ Dear Sir your
note of the 29th ultlmo., in which you say,
that Interested parties have impugned
your motives for leaving the Know Moth
lngs, and among other things charged that,
you were disappointed in not receiving the
know-Nothlng nomination for Superlntep-
dent Of Public Edncation,o and in which
you request me to state the substance Of
any conversation or conversations you may
have bad with me in relation to the reasons
which would be likely TO govern YOU as to
received few days since.
In answer to your note, remark that on
different occasions, previous to the meet
ing of the American convention in the city
OF NeH Orleans, you told me you did not
wish your name TO be put in the nomina-
ton for the office above suggested, for the
reason principal, that in certain event you
would be bound to withdraw your member
ship from the organization, and that You
could only be induced to accept that or any
other nomination, (if rendered to YOU upon
the distinct understanding that you should
be lett to act independent upon certain con-
tengencies. Here you informed me, that
you considered it duty you owed to the
party, and to yourself to decline The nomi-
nation if rendered, as the contingencies 10
which yon referred were likely to occur
Whether the above was your motive for
withdrawing from the American party,
can not Of course say. Having been called
upon by you, for the substance Of your con-
vergation with me on this subject, have
not felt at liberty toref1se to state the facts
as nearly az | can fcco'lect
Very Truly Yours,

MAGNETIC Iron A correspondent
Of the New York Scientific American,
writing from Bloomfield, N, j., says
that On railway near that town there
is an uphill grade running northwest,
of eighty or ninety feet to the mile,
on which each of the individual rails
is magnet, the upper end being a
South pole, and the lower end a North
pole Ho presumes that on all in
clined railway grades the case is the
same, no matter what may be the
direction, or from what niue the iron
came, as there is a law of magnetism
that all bars Of iron become magnets
the moment you raise them from d
horizontal position. This magnetic
law, he thinks, has not been considered
enough on board of vessels, in relation
to local attraction, and he adds that
it has doubtless been the cause of their
running on shore sometimes.
