/ = " A1uOE OF any DE8uCQ OF industry.
IN Saturday night the South Stafordshire
Lron works were closed on the under.
ssanolng that they should not be again
had returned to work. ---'-
Inere are S0Oo furnaces in South StaE-
fordshlre; 600 puddlers were employed
AZ theni ano ior each puddler there was
an assistant ana Tor every puddler and
every assistant mere was RbOrer. There
! were coal Wheelers, boat leaders and nm
losders, horse drivers and Isborers employ-s
ed many other capacities connected with
the iron works. There were also $500
mill-men. Very soon after the stopping
OF the iron works q great number Of col
hers must be thrown out Of work. On the
whole, $4,000 or $4,000 viii be thrown out
OF employment in South Stafordshirealone
TINS week, and $4,000 s week that used
TO be distributed in wages viii no longer
circulate amongst the families of the poor.
Ii the lockout be perssvered in over the
country N accordance with the compact
which the ronmssters have entered
into with each other, 10000 men
VIII be thrown out of EMPLOY
ment and about 100000 persons
will be deprived OF the means of subsist-
ence. Nearly fl00,0OO week thst used
to be paid in wages will be diverted from
the laboring classes of the iron districts of
this country, and will circulate in some
other chat mel. AS to the probable durs-
tion Of the lockout it rests with the North
Ssahordshire puddlers to put sn end 70 it
as soon as they like. But if they be firm,
the men in the other part of the country
are powerless. 1t is Ehen practically 3
matter to be decided by the North Stat
fordshlre pucdlers s1d me mssters-others
having what influence belong to adyica
and persuasion, but no more. The masters
will not yield until they have had a verv
very severe trial Of their strength first. AZ
TO the means the puddlers have of resist
ing, the North Stafordshire men will find
themselves in very difficult position if
the Union refuse 10 support them. Is TO
the puddleIs who hsve just been thrown
out of work, the weeks wages they re-
ceived on Saturday night might be made
10 support them for 8 considerable time
under the pressure Of an exigency like iha
present. Then they hsve the money sc-
cumulsted by the Association, which, it il
stated, amounts 70 &c, 600 or $1,000; they
hope to receive assistance, as has been said
before, from Trades Unions, and they have
iQpe credit with the grocer, the baker and
sie publican. Men having even these
mail resources, and being wiling to suffer
! good deal from hunger and thirst if
might, if they felt 50 disposed,
nbsist in idleness for considerable time.

IECY sEwARD's CASE PROBABLY FATAL.
Physicians who have most carefully ex-
mined Secretary Stewards case have come
% the conclusion that he cannot recover
rom his injuries. He is unable to partske
# any solid food, and has already to be
ustained on stimulauts.
sEC'Y STANTON TO REsIaN.
1t is well understood in well informed
'olitical circles that Mr.. Stanton will re-
ign his position as Secretary of War i'm
upon the conclusion of pesce with
be South. Ill health will be his plea.
'olitieisns say, however, that his purpose
J to avoid connection with the questions
hat viii inevitably result from Mr.. Lin
oln's settlement with the rebels.
RESIDENCE OF ENLISTED MKN.
The Attorney General hss given an opin-
On in regard to the construction of the
srm "sctual residence in the l4th section
I the act for the eniistn ent of men liable
D enrolment and draft In reply to re-
uest of the Provost Marshal General, he
eelares that, first, every person must be-
to have an actual residence some
Vhere second, man can have but one
esidence at one and the same time. A
esidenee once acquired remains until
mother is acquired. The place of mans
rigin is that Of his actual residence until
10 acquires another. Minors have their
ctuAl residence with their parents or
,uardians; apprentices with their masters;
dults reside st the place Of their dwelling.
mans dwelling IS in contradistinetion 70
is place Of business, trade or occupation
q dwelling at the place where he habitu-
ly sleeps or passes his nights. In every
ountry there is more or less population
eating like drift. They never expect 10
amain long at any place, and 90 thence
lhenever and wherever the hope of sm-
loyment may invite or fancy dictste.
uch persons have thus actual residence in
be community in which they may dwell st
be time of the enrolment. BE also gives
as his opinion that where the actual resi-
snce is one sub-district, and man is en-
)lled in q different sub-district, credit
hould be given 10 the district of his actual
ssidence Nothing also appearing, it must
e taken for granted that his acJusl resi-
enee is the place Of enrolment, and the
redit given accordingly.
