All Liars, SC.

In the Argus of the 9th inst. appeared the
following paragraph, which we refuted prompt
ly and conclusively the very next day: aa
The men of Maine, says the Boston Post.
must feel fairly insulted when the Radicals
go to them for their votes this fall. Just on
the eve Of the adjournment OF Congress, Mr.
Schenck made sudden attempt to fix duty
on imported copper and copper ore, Tor which
the Maine members voted, but which was
finally defeated by parliamentary strategy,
the Democrats going against the measure in
body. Had the bill been passed. it would
have dealt another blow at the declining ship
ping interests OF our sister State, which its
representatives certainly might be expected
to try to avert. When these Radical men-
bers of Congress appear before their consti-
tuents this fail for a continuance of favor
and support, let them be promptly required
to explain their votes in this matter which is
OF primary Importance to the people OF Maine.
Whether they are interested in any of the
current copper stock speculations or not, we
DO not presume to say; but their action has
very bad look, and must be interpreted to
mean closer care for themselves and their
party IN Washington than tor the prosperity
OF their State. Let every Rsdicai member
OF Congress from Maine be put upon the
stand on this subject.
l. ue answer we naue UO luis was Lnat only
two of our Representatives were present
when the bill came up and that both OF them
-Messrs. Perham and Peters-voled against
1t. Mr.. Lynch had obtained leave of alb
sence on account of sickness in his family,
but would have voted with Perham and Pc
tiers had he been present. Blaine and Pike
were also absent, but their views on this sub
ject are too well known to leave their consti-
tuents in any doubt as to their opinions.
1t will be seen from this that if ever false
hood was set afoat with absolutely no ioun-
dation, this is one. 1t is as pure a specimen
of lying as can be imagined. Yet the Argus
has issued three papers without correcting it.
The only conclusion we can come to is that
it is deliberate anG wilful fasehood. By
taking this course our neighbor saves us the
space that we have hitherto occupied in iak-
ing up its lies seriatim and reluting them.
Let the reputation of man or journal
once be established as a habitual liar and no
one is thereafter called upon to follow up and
retute their false statements, for nobody be.

KNOXVILLE. TEsN.. NOvember

KNOXVILLE, TENN November o. IS6S.
Gen. Joseph A. Mabry, President Knoxville
and Kentus ky Railroad Company;
Dear Sir: The undersigned, natives Of
Wales, having been engaged for many
years in the manufacture of iron, both
In our native country and Pennsylvania,
and other portions of this country, during
which time we have had charge of ex-
tensive iron works, have just returned
from q trip over the line Of the Knox
vile and Kentucky Railroad, made for
the purpose Of examining into the mine
raj resources Of that section of East
Tennessee.
We have traced very valuable vein
Of fcssiliforous iron ore Of excellent quail
ity, extending for over two miles in the
immediate vicinity of said railroad, from
Ross's, in Anderson county, to Wheeler's,
in Campbell county, crossing the rail-
road twice, and for the entire distance,
so near is it, as to give every advantage
for the establishment Of iron works.
This vein is cut Dy the tunnel at In-
dian Grave Gap, at which point the solid
ore measures fo1r feet in thickness,
nearly, if not quite, equal in value to
the celebrated ore OF Lake Superior, and
yielding, in our estimation, from sixty to
seventy per cent. of iron.
In the Immediate vicinity OF said ore,
we also find four remarkable beds Of
coal, Of excellent quslity, varying from
two to four feet in thickness.
The result OF this exam nation con-
vinees us that the advantages offered for
the manufacture Of iron ere on the line
Of said railroad, FOR the section exam
lned by us, extending from thirty to forty
miles nom the city Of Knoxville, are su-
periOr to those of any point in Pennsyl-
ysnis; that the iron can be made at less
,ost and of excellent quality, and that
the quantity Of both iron and coal Is
insxhaustible, being sufficient 4
10 supply a number OF heavy blast fur
laees for generations.
Very respectfully,
J. H JONES.

CONSOLIDATION.
The Annual Election 0G Omcers
for the Railroad.
rom the Knoxville Press and Herald !

From the Knoxville Press and Herald.l
The annual convention Of the stock
holders Of the East Tennessee and Viz
ginia Railroad, which mst in this city on
Thursday for the election af officers, was
very largely attended. Ths following
we're elected Directors:
J. Jsques, Virginia; P Dickinson, A.
G. Jackson, G. NJ. AicGhee, Knox conn.
ty; j. r. Branner, w. Galbresth, DR..
Burnett, Jefferson county; W. G. KYLE,
Hawkins county; j. II. Earnest, Greene
county; G. w. Nelson. G.. Tell0rd, DR..
w. r Sewer, JnO. White, Washington
county j. Z. Anderson, Sullivan county,
and 7. I'll. Galloway, Bradley county.
The Directors met yesterday and elect
ed Col. Thomas II. Calleway, President,
and Maj, r. @. Jsckson, Superintendent.
This amounts to virtual consolidation
OF the two roads between ChattanoOga
and Bristol, and it was the Intention Of
the stockholders In the election OF the
new Board Of Directors, that such shouid
be the case. President Galloway. is one
of the ablest fnaneiers in the country,
and there are few better railroad men
than Major Jsekson. Together they
make team which is hard to beat.
We have no knowledge OF the future
management Of the roads, but il Is rea-
sonable to anticipate that Under the new
regime the great Southern mail and
freight line will increase in popularity
with the business and travelling COM
munity.
