THE IRON CoMpANY.-We rave

THE IRON CoMPANY.-We gave a
short notice of the proposed Iron Company
to be established in Ekton, in our last issue.
Those who had subscribed and who take an
active interest in the welfare of our town and
county, met in the Commissioners room, on
Saturday afternoon last, to exchange views
and consult as to the best modes to be pur-
sued in order to accomplish so desirable an
object. Parties from Wilmington and Balti
more, who have extensive knowledge of the
iron business and who propose to take stock
in the Company, were present. The meet.
ing appointed canvassers to solicit further
with the understanding from the gentlemen
present who represented iron interests abroad
that it depended upon the interest manifest.
ed by the people of the town and county in
taking a certain amount of stock, whether
capital from those cities would be subscribed
sufficient to- make the enterprise success.
We state this fact in order to disabuse re.
stock would be subscribed by capitalists
from the cities, whether the citizens of the
place exerted themselves to take any con-
siderable amount of stock or not. Such, we
can most positively assure them, is not the
fact; and unless they put their hands to the
enterprise and subscribe one-thrd the
amount of the stock required, at least, the
enterprise will not be put through. And the
men of limited means, the lire men of the
community must do this. The capitalists
who are the most able to help will not put
their hands to the work. They think they
are already at the top of the ladder. and
don't care to see those who are more worthy.
but, unfortunately, of less means, climb up
Beside them with fair prospect of ascending
still higher. Therefore, let the men of real
worth combine and pull together, and not
allow this golden promise now held out to
Elkton to be snatched away by some other
neighborhood or city, more fully alive to its
interest than we are.
We had intended to give some statistics
showing the profit to be derived from such Il
manufacturing establishment together with
the amount Of money put into circulation
weekly by it, but were not able to procure
those atistcs in time for the present issue.
W" propse to give them in future.
The Company will hold a meeting on
Tues ay afternoon next, at o clock, in the
office of the County Commissioners. Every
person is invited to attend.

A New York letter-writer, remarking
upon the prevalence Of crime, says:
Il has been one Of the "boasts" Of the
Washington Government, that zone million
men" have been released from the army and
navy, within a few months past, and absorb
ed in the aggregate Of society, without dis
turbance Of any sort, such as would have in
evitably attended sirnilor process ia other
times. Theboast Is without just foundation,
as a brief review viii easily demonstrate.
In the first place, the number discharged
has not been so great as stated, by near
ly half million. Nearly One-haif the
men who were paid off and discharged
had no existence except ON the roll Of the
paymaster; the "plunder" being divided
among favorite officers. The men who were
discharged, all received several months back
pay and bounties, and were returned 10
their own doors, so that pressing need for
money did not exist among any OF them.

Murders, burglaries, 10 say nothing Of lesser
crimes, prevail in all parts Of the North, 10
the most frightful extent. The suburbs Of
our great cities have become almost
uninhabitable except 10 those who are not
worth plmdering. There are nov eleven
murderers in the city prison, awaiting trial,
and not one-third Of the assassins are
arrested. The murders now average enc

How SOME PEOPLE LODGE ~ WASHING
ToN.--It would really astonish many Of our
good citizens, who have warm, cosy beds,
and who 90 home early in the evening and
enjoy them during the night, TO witness the
many ways in which poor outcasts operate
to obtain a nights lodging. Some who have
the nerve and cheek, and who are reasona-
bly, well dressed, engage and occupy rooms
at the best hotels, and disappear in the
morning without remunerating the clerk for
their comfort. Others visit ordinary bar
rooms in the evening, select chair or bench
in good position, and then take snooze
until the bar-keeper closes up the house,
They then stroll around the streets until
morning, when they buy, beg or steal a
breakfast. Some select vacant houses, and
generally sleep there uninterruptedly all
night, while others, less perseyering, climb
into the nearest covered wagon or hack, and
trough it through" until morning. A great
number Ofthese unfortunates, when they find
themselves without money and friends, 20
to a police station, and there apply for lodg-
ings, sometimes repeating their visit three
successive nights.
This entities them 10 u pass and convey
ance to the workhouse, where they remain
only two or three days, when they are dis-
missed to make room for others. Many Of
these dodgers or bummers divide their visits
among the station houses, TO avoid going 70
the workhouse At the Fourth Ward sta
tion house, on Friday night twenty-five
dodgers were Accommodated on Saturday
night seventeen, and last night, before dark,
seven applied, and were shown to the lodg-
er's room. Here large fire blazes during
the entire night, and il is amusing to lock
in ON the inmates at about two O'Clock in
the morning. They all lay down ON the
floor, side by side, with their feet to the IRE,
and the stencil that proceeds from their feet,
| produced by the heat Of the fire, would nat
urally cause one TO surmise that their feet
| had not been washed since their mothers
performed that very necessary operation for
| them when children. The greater number
of these unfortunates profess to hail from
New York and Philadelphia, and not a few
from Baltimore, and they all complain of
the scarcity of employment here. Would il
not be good idea for our city fathers to
! provides suitable receptacle for this class OF
| unfortunates? Doubtless some hospital
building could be purchased for moderate
price, and converted TO this use W,'shng-
