PIG IRON AND BLOOM MARKET.
The market for raw irons has been quite
inactive throughout the week. Several
causes have cOnspired to effect this result
not the least of which was the extreme
strlngency of the money market, inducing
increased caution on the part of con-
sumerS. Although our report is but par
tai (for reasons similar TO those assigned
last week., the aggregate Of sales was less,
perhaps, Jhan during any previous week,
for month past.
stocks, however, do not seem to accumu-
late. Good makes of standard forge irons
are firmly held, but inferior grades are less
firm, and to effect sales of magnitude con-
cessiOns would be required on rates cur

IRON AND NAILS.

an increase in the number and size OF or

SHIPPING INTERESTS.

But few people have any idea of how terri
bly, this interest has been crippled, first by the
war, and secondly by the unwise legislation of
Congress SINCE the war. In 1861, there was
but trifle of difference between us and
Britain, who was confessedly the proudest
nation of the world in this regard. Both
nations had about five and half millions of
tonnage, the difference being in favor of the
British, though to so small an extent as to
make it sure we would soon reach and surpass
them. Yet, in 1866, our tonnage had gone
down to little over four millions, while that
of Britain had advanced to over seven mil
lions. In 1868, the discrimination arainst us
is shown to be still greater, so that instead of
recuperatng from the effects of the war. we
are, under the present policy, actually retro
grading still. Our Baltic and North Sea trade
is almost gone. The state of the trade with
the European ports of the Atlantic NAV be
seen from the fact that in 1860 we had nearly
double the amount of all foreign ships to-
gether. and to-day we do not have one-third,
and SO on through the whole trade of the civ
ilized world.
We do not know what Congress ought to do
to stimulate freshly this important source of
our prosperity, but we do know that no possi-
BILE plea for the necessities of taxation. can
equal the necessity of keeping in existence
the only things which renders taxation pos
sibility.

VINELAND RAILROAD

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of
the Vineland Railway Company, held at the
hotel of E. Davis and Son, Bridgeton, N. j.,
May 2S, 1868, Directors all present, except
John s. Trick, of Vincentown, Charles K
Lands, President in the chair, the following
resolutions were adopted
Resoloed, That R. J. Andrews, of Vineland
be employed to procure the right Of way from
Stowe Creek to Bridgeton.
Resoloed, That the executive committee is
hereby empowered to take the necessary steps
to contract for the grading of the Vineland
Railway from the line of the West Jersey
Railroad to the mouth Of Stowe Greek, as To-
Gated by survey, before contracts are ratified
to be first submitted with full report to the
Directors Of the company for their approval.
David P. Elmer and Benjamin F. Maui were
added as members of the executive committee.
Board adjourned to meet at the call of the Pres
ident.
We would remind any who intend to de-
mand exhorbitant prices for the right of way,
that if left to commissioners to decide, they
may have to pay for the advantage instead of
receiving anything for supposed disadvantage.
1t is hoped however that all will give the right
Of way as the road will be such great benefit
to all land owners in this section.

BRIDGING THE DELAwARE.-A large meeting
of the citizens of Camden was held recently,
for the purpose of organizing measures for
placing bridge over the Delaware river, to
connect Philadelphia with Camden Speeches
were made and resolutions adopted, all favor
ing the enterprise The with of the river is
1926 feet, and it is proposed to build a draw
bridge 7S feet high, with single arch reach
ing from Smiths Island to Camden. a dis
tance of ! ,476 feet. 1t is proposed to have
two. passage-ways, each ten feet wide; two
tracks for cars, each five feet wide, and one
central passage for wagons. twenty feet wide.
The whole structure will be under cover
Among the committees appointed by the meet
ing was one authorized to confer with the cor
porate authorities of the cities of Philadelphia
and Camden, for the purpose of promoting
uniformity of action on the part of. the COM
mittees in carrying out the proposed scheme.

THE WAR SECRETARY.

Now that the clatter and noise of the
political fsticufing at Washington has
subsided into the sullen feeling of co-equal
defeat, the authorities begin to 60 to work
to loosen the machinery which the un-
happy disagreements of the past has
clogged. The President has apparently
become weary of sending in nominations
which he was certain would not be con-
frmed, and then appointing od interinss
and sent to the Senate the name of Gen.
Schofeld for War Secretary. The nom
inaticn was accompanied with covert
sneer, in the statement that he was to
take the place of Stanton removed. The
Senate resented the sneer, and also re-
fused to recognize the removal as legal,
but still felt that it was best for the good
OF the country to pocket the insult and
confirm the man, which they did in the
following preamble and resolution:
Whereas, The order of the President re-
moving Secretary Stanton from office was un-
constitutional and illegal, but on account of
Mr.. Stanton having On Tuesday relinquished
said office; therefore,
"Resotoed, That the Senate do advise and
consent to the appointment CT General Scho-
feld.''
General SchoGeld is still compare
lively young man, and brings to the War
Office record from the war which en-
titles him to the respect of the country.
1t is understood also that he possesses the
confidence of Gen. Grant, and unless his
past history misrepresents him, the Pres
ldent viii find no plant tool in him.

strawberry FESTIVALS.

One of the journals of upper Jersey
has complimented the journals of this re
gion, by publishing a statement that
they are filled with announcements of
strawberry festivals" We should not
deem it any particular discredit if the
publication were true, for these social
gatherings for public uses indicate a
state of society, which is both harmonious
and pleasant, but unfortunately for the
journal, we believe that the announce.
ments of the present week are about the
first that have been made. Possibly the
journal is gifted with the spirit of clair
voyance, and seeing through the medium
of superior psychology what was to
come to pass, slightly confused the lenses
and published them as if they had al
ready occurred. Or, more likely still.
knowing the fact that we produce both
earlier and better qualities of this delic-
ious berry, than is possible to that cold
and stony portion of the State, it has
felt sure that good many such an
nouncements avould be made, and con
cluded to get the start of us in this way.
by stating it as fact, hoping that ii
uould be fact by the time their paper
reached the public.
In our advertising columns of this
week, it will be seen that the ladies Of
the M. E. Church, at Cedarville, are to
hold one on Friday and Saturday even
ngs of June 18th and 18th, in aid OF
their new church enterprise. 1t has
been our privilege to attend such gather
ings Of the Cedarville ladies, and we can
bear testimony that they understand how
to make them attractive.
Another is also arranged for the 10th
and 18th of June, at Centreton, which
will no doubt be socially attractive. The
enterprising ladies of Pittstown have one
also in process of preparation, which will
be announced in due time, and Others
will no doubt Eli the festive strawberry
season, which will be noticed by us as
they occur.

s@- The Investigations by the House
of Representatives, which insinuate brib.
cry in the case of the Senators who
voted against impeachment, do not seem
to amount to a great deal. Most of the
people who are called as witnesses, and
the men suspected of disbursing the
money for this purpose, absolutely refuse
to tell what they did with it, upon the
ground that it is their own private affair,
and none of the Congressionals' business.
This is a view of the case that even
Manager Butler seems incompetent to
overcome, and it is not likely that any
futher facts will be reached. An inves-
tigation of this kind does not often
amount to great deal, because where a
man is bad enough either to offer or ac-
cept bribe, be has generally sense
enough to cover his tracks, SO that they
cannot be detected. Still we cannot help
thinking that it would have been better
for the characters of the suspected SEN
ators if the witnesses had manifested a
disposition to be open in. their statements
about where the money in question act
ually DID 60.

THE WHIsKEY FRAUDS.

Among the reasons why bad men de-
sire the retention of Andrew johnson in
office, and why it was easy to afford
large amount of money to keep him
there, was the fact that under his admin
istration the liquor interest is enabled to
defraud the government almost with i'm
punity The amount of these frauds
can be judged by the fact that all whis-
key distillers get rich with unprecedented
rapidity; that they spend enough money
in influencing elections to ruin an ordi-
nary political party, and that they sell
their whiskey at from twenty-five to
fifty cents gallon less than even the
amount of the tax. The government is
cheated by these men out of at least one
hundred millions of dollars annually.
This estimate is low one, and the like
lihoods are that the actual loss is much
greater. Under Mr.. johnson, nobody
has been punished for this, and it is
tacitly understood that nobody will be.
1t is also gravely insinuated that it was
the money of these men that defeated his
and that with the amount
of cash which he can compel them to
command at any time, any attempt to
bring him to trial will be worse than use
less. 1t is also asserted that the reason
why these men have been allowed to go
free so long, is that the President might
have such reliance as they can afford
when the hours of trial come. The
manner in which these frauds on the
revenue is arranged is easy. Once Sc
cure in the fact that the government will
not disturb them, and the details are
simple. In fact, almost all that is nec-
essary is to fill up bogus bond, guarren-
teeing that all matters shall be conducted
according to the law, and the business
can go on. No revenue is paid, of course,
and if by any mishap prosecution is
commenced, the persons who gave the
bonds for them are uniformly found to
be worthless, if: indeed, the bonds them
selves are not forgeries. In recent case
in New York, half million dollars worth
Of these bonds were in the hands of the
District Attorney, and shown to be near
y worthless. Putting these facts togeth-
sr, it is not wonderful that the liquor in
serest was so anxious to secure the acquit
al of Mr.. johnson

New M. E. Church at Cedaryille,

For some time past, the people of the
allowed named church have been contemplat-
ing the erection of new church edifce The
one in which, for SO many years, the society
has worshiped has become untenitable, and
the erection of new edi6ce was felt to be an
upper part of the town, and in q most attrac
tive location, but still central spot appeared
to be matter of necessity in order to accom-
date the needs of the entire congregation
Many of the members clung to the site, where
they had SO long gathered together, and in
whose enclosure their dead were buried,
while others insisted upon having the edifce
placed where the wants of the conprepation
generally would be best accommodated For
years it has been impossible to reconcile these
conflicting opinions, and so no effective steps
we're taken toward the erection of house.
During the past year, however, the question
came before the officiary of the church for q
vote, when it was decided in favor of the cen.
trail location. The question Was next submit
ted to a vote of the membership. and on Sat
urday evening last meeting was held for this
purpose, when twenty-four voted for the old
location, and forty-two for the one in the GEN.
tral part Of the town. A committee was ap-
pointed to secure the ballots of those who
were unable to be present, but it is not likely
that the majority will be changed; and if this
be so. then the question so long vexiug one,
as to where the church shall 60, will be set at
rest We are glad to learn of this movement,
not only on account of its moral and religious
aspects, but also because the introduction Of
tasteful public edifces in any place improves
largely the value of the property round about
it, and also increases the inducements for peo.
pie from elsewhere to make it their home. We
wish the good people of Cedarville all success
in the accomplishment of their enterprise.

LAY DELEGATION.

The principle of lay delegation was last week
sanctioned by an overwhelming vote in the
General NJ. e. Conference at Chicago. The
report of the majority on the subject having
been discussed at length for week or more
without result, Rev. DR.. Haven reported a
plan, substantially the same as that originally
introduced, but subject to the approval of both
laity and ministry, which was at once adopted
by vote of 226 to 8, amid loud demonstrations
of satisfaction from floor and galleries This
result will no doubt afford quite as much graf
ihcation outside of the Conference among the
masses of the church as within it. During
Fridays session of the Conference, Bishop
Ames submitted paper which was referred
to the Committee on Conference Lay Delega-
tons, proposing plan for the organization of
a house OF lay delegates, to act in conjunction
with the General Conference. Bishop Ames
said the plan had been examined and approved
by four or five of his colleagues.

About ten years since, this establishment
was started in Bridgeton by Mr.. John S.
Whipple. The demand at that time was SO
limited that few tons per year supplied all
that was called for. Since then it has in
creased to such an extent that the demand can
scarcely be supplied, when the facilities for
manufacturing have been greatly increased

this establishment would afford a profitable
business for still greater extension, and those
having capital to spare would End this good
