OHIO AND KENTUCKY

The IrOnmasters Of Kentucky and Ohio met IN
Convention at Portsmouth on Tuesday last, to
memorabilia the two Houses of Congress to levy
specific duty on the importation of foreign Iron, as
a remedy for the condition of the business 10 which
they are engaged" so depressed as to render
" their capital unremuneratiye, and to diminish the
demand for laborers." Seventeen Kentucky
furnaces were represented at this meeting, and
forty-fve Ohio furnaces.
How reasonable is their request The existing
duties upon Scotch and English pig Iron are ad
yalorem These gentlemen simply, mOdestly, ask
of Congress TO change these duties to speci6c-to
declare by law, that hereafter foreign Iron shall
pay so much duty, whatever it may be, by the
tuD, instead Of duty, percentage upon the sworn
value of the article at the port of its shipment, and
at the time of its shipment Steadness of duty is
what is asked for-steadness of price in Ohio and
Kentucky is what is soughtfor, not enhanced profits
nor the governmental support of manufacture
which is not authorized by the demand of cOnsump-
ton and the cost of production. The Iron men OF
these two States require no bolstering.
The importance of the interest represented at
this Furnace Masters Convention may be meas
ured from these facts: One hundred and fifty five
thousand tuns Of Pig Iron are produced every year
in Kentucky and Ohio. Estimating the average
value of the Hot and Cod-BIast pigs at $50 per
tun, the annual value of this Industry in those two
States is 81 $4,000. The population clustered
around connected with and dependent upon each
Furnace, is at least five hundred, men, women,
and children So these MemoTialists to Congress
appeal in behalf of thirty-one thousand people, as
well as themselves, the capitalists in the works.
The average humber CT hands employed at each
Furnace is one hundred. The total number is
sixtytwo hundred, and the wages paid to them
which average $25 per month, will amount to
900 per annum.
See what the interest of the farmers of Ken
lucky aud Ohio, in the neighbohood of these IRON
works, is in their successful operation. Fifteen
thousand bushels of corn are annually consumed at
each of them. Worth fifty cents bushel, the
sales of this single grain will aggregate $465,0O
per apnum SO of flour. Estimated cheaply at 81
per barrel, these sixty-two furnaces will annually
demand and pay cash for 1922, l2S worth. And OF
bacon, beef, and pork, the demand is just bene6
cent to the agricultural interest which is neighbor
ing to these works. Each of them requiring tive
thousand pieces of fifteen pounds EACH the total
quantity annually consumed is 100000 pounds,
worth $le6,0OO
What interest the merchants of New-York, Phil
adelpba, and Baltimore, have in the success OF thu
great industry, can be seen from their reported Val
uaton Of the dry goods, groceries hardware, aud
clothing, sold by them. These average $4,000

goods by these iron.makers ID Of tho value OF sil

Itis said that the Senate Investigating COMMITTEES
are considering the propriety Of summoning Gov.
Wise before them, with the view Of getting certain
documents and general facts in his possession rea
tive 70 various schemes claimed TO have been started
for the rescue of John Brown. While they are
about il, we would respectfully suggest that they
should follow their usual practice OF nterrogating
the witness concerning every subject that hs
knows anything about, and examine the Governor
concerning bis own famous plan of taking armed
possession of Washington City in 1885, in the event
OF the election of Col. Fremont to the Presidency.
This plan, it now seems, was not only formally COM
mubicated to Mr. Cbas J. Faulkner, formerly red
hot Abolitionst, and now United States Minister
to France, who replied that be thought the scheme
easy of execution, but to the Governors Of the
Southern States at large, by whom it was re-
ceyed with cordial sympathy. At late "Union
Meeting" in Knoxville, Tenn, Judge Bailey,
formerly of Georgia, stated this as a fact As The
KnO1riHe Wig says:
"The Judge made one startling disclosure, which
was new TO us all He said that during the Presi-
dental contest Gov Wise had addressed letters TO all
the Southern overnOrsand that one TO the Governor
OF tlOrl0a had been SHOWN 10 nU-in Wnch iro
said that he had an army in readiness to prevent FIRE.
mont from taking his seat. if elected, and asking the
cooperation of those TO whom he wrote"
Tie Committee might, we think, explore this
subject with some hope of profit. Let US know
officially whether that great political genius who
who presided over the hanging of John Brown, and
who now proposes to conquer British America and
establish Slavery there, really did consPire to
commit the treason which Judge Bailey, Mr..
Faulkner, and The Knozriite Wing attribute to hun.
We suppose it is true, but it would be just as well
TO have it established Of course the Southern
Hotspur will not need to refuse to answer for fear
of eliminating himself, for human law only Furnishes
the commission, not the intention of CRIME. Ii rs
true he would have been hanged if he had tried to
do the thing but now he can tell the truth about it
with safe neck. Come, Governor, speak out /!
Or what says the venerable and yenerated Rich
m0nd Enquirer?

We give some additional foreign intelligence
brought by the steamer Canada. Some Of the
provisions of the commercial treaty between France
and England are published. The annexation of
Savoy and Nice to France is semi-Ofiicially alluded
to by French journals as nearly accomplished. The
latest information from the seat of war between the
Spaniards and the MOOrs, state that the later had
met with another severe repulse. 1t is announced
by Count Cavour's organ that there is now no OPP
position to Prince Carrienac's assuming the Regency
of Central Italy.

Southern writers assa Mr.. Douglass new Sedi-
ton Law and improved Federal Slave Code as fol-
lows:
owe say that any law empowering the Federal au-
tborty 10 interfere in such by military FORCE
will be utterly unconstitutional, and 1t Will DC as
dangerous as il will be unconstitutional. IL Will au-
thorze the Federal Government to pry into all assem-
bes of the people in Staet0 set up system OF es-
ponaQe totally inconsistent with the free exercise OF
their rightsand upon suspicion or rumor use the mill
taIy of the United States against the people W course
we suppose every ColsOdatiOnist in Washington to
vote foI such measure 1t marks the progress of the
Federal Government to a consolidated despotism."
Mr.. Douglas will find the difficulties Of bis recent
attempt to ride two horses going in different direc-
tiOns, increase as he progresses in his undertaking.
He wants the benefit of Squatter Sovereignty in tho
North and he thinks he has secured it, however in
consistently he may act in this Congress- He does
not believe that any propositions to obtain Southern
favor that he may put forth at this late day will un-
dermine the confidence in hls hostility to Southern
demand, which has been created by his opposition
to LecomptOn; and he hopes such propositions may
DO him good at the South. Such are always tho
expedients of trading politicians. Now we do not
believe Mr. Douglas can at this hour, pacato
Southern hostility by anything he can say or do, to
sn extent sufficient to insure his success at Charles
fon We see in the above extract from The Charleston
Mercury how bis ateseDatOnal movements received
IN that region. 1t does not suit at all. On tho
other hand his offers to recede from bis old Squat
ter Sovereignty position would in any case cost him
more strength in the North than they csn bring him
in the South Every indication of willingness to
conform TO Southern demands to conclate Southern
support, throws him upon the platform of every
other member Of bis party and strips him Of that
availability in the North which he is supposed TO
possess. We look therefore, upon his recent dem
onstraton, upon which he is just trying to float
himself into the nomination at Charleston, as a
source of weakness rather than strength.

1t would appear that South Carolina has given up
the expectation of her DisuniOn Convention which
sbe hoped would come of Mr.. Menminger's mission
TO Virginia The 0rangeburg Sonthron thus solIo-
quizes
when Virginia, after the raid of John Brown, rs-
fuses to me ct us friendly debate confess that
hopes of Southern Confedericy are almost de-
stroyed."
Since this was published We observe that Mr..
MemmiDger has left Virginia, having abandoned his
purpose of waiting till the Legislature of that Stats
had issued the call he desired. The Southern mind
is excitabe but in the border tier of Slave States
there is large admixture OF common sense. We
have never seen in any of these border States that
fiery tendency toward excess in political action so
often manifested 10 the interior Slave States. Whe-
ther this GOODNESS grows out Of the fact that their
frontiers are exposed and the knowledge that in the
event of collision between the Slave and Free States
they would have to bear the brunt of any disorders
that might arise; or whether it springs from patr-
otto motives, we VIII not too particularly inquire
The fact is satisfactory, and that is enough. Let
others be inyidiOus if they will we shall not. YET
these States sometimes send the worst kind Of Rep
resentatiyes to Congress. Here Is Edmundson ZOE
example, who has done more mischief in rouslng
the hatred and i'll will of Northern people against
Virginia as well as against the Slave States gen.
orally, by his unprovoked and scandalous attack on
Mr.. Hickman, than he could repair IN the wnoio
compass of his future lie, if he should betake Nm-
sell to the stool of repentance from this time io'-
ward. If John Brown deserved hanging TOR oeihs
agitatOr, then nothing short Of peni1snuaiS
would do Justice to Edmundson.

demonstrated that the Disunion Movement, begun

A FTER AN EXTENSIVE PRACTICE OF Up
IA wards Of twenty years, continues to secure Patents in
the United statesj also in Grea: britain, France amd other
foreign countries. Caveats, Specifications, Bonds, Assign

liberal terms, and with despatch. Researches made into
American or Foreign works, to determine the validity or utn.
ity OF Patents or Inventions-and legal or other advice rem
dered in all matters touching the anne Copies of the claim.
OF any Patent furnished by remitting One Dollar. Assign
ments recorded at Washington.
The Agency is not only the largest in New England, but
through 1t inventors have advantages Tor securing Patents,
Of ascertaining the patentabilty Of inventions, unsurpassed
by, If not immeasurably superior to, any which can be offered
them elsewhere. The testimonials below given prove that
none is MORE SUCCESSFUL AT TIE PATENT OFFICE
than the subscriber; and as SUCCESS is THE BEST PROOF
OF ~ADVANTAGES N ABILITY, he would add that he
has abundant reason to believe, and can prove, that n, ut
other office Of the kind are the charges for professional SER
vices so moderate. The immense practice Of the subscriber
during twenty years past, has enabled him to accumulate a
vast collection of specifications and official decisions relative
to patents.
These, besides his extensive library of legal and mechani.
cal works, and full accounts Of patents granted in the United
fer superior facilities for obtaining Patents.
All necessity of a journey to Washington, to procure a
patent, and the usual great delay there, are here saved in
