There are, in tho United States, a2.500

track and sidings. The Iron aud Steel As
sociation estimate tho wear and tear Of

ing the average Of all the roads together,
From this it appears that it requires the
enormous quantity Of a3S, 80 tons Of iron
to make good tho yearly destruction aud re-
place the worn-out nils. The magnitude
Of this amount Of iron will be better under
stood when Il is stated that :';ss, 80 tops Of
mills will lay $500 miles Of track, allowing
20 tons TO the mile. The length Of railway
from New York to San Francisco is $500
ri'es. It, therefore, requires for the nenc
renexnl Of rails on the railroads Of the
United States rs much iron NJ is needed 10

THE FREE TRADE MEETING AT
CHTT1GO

The recent boast of the Secretary of the Free
Trade League that that organization was
using extraordinary means to force its ideas
npon the public, finds new verifcation in
the trick played upon the leading newspapers
of this country this morning They have
been beguiled into publishing an Associated
Press telegram which reports the proceedings
of free trade meeting held last night at
Chicago. The whole object of the report was
evidently to give currency to the platitudes of
Professor Perry and the balderdash Of one
Brinkerhoof, who had nothing more impor-
tant to say than that he was free-trader, not
withstanding the fact that he was ga Republi
can of the straightest sort and blackest hue y
The cause of protection has nothing to fear
from the arguments of the leading speaker of
the evening, Perry, and we only complain of
the bad Judgment OF something worse dis
played by the agent at Chicago in sending
such stuff over the telegraphic wires at
the expense of newspaper proprietors. How
ever, as the free-traders war upon every other
form of American industry, we presume they
would not consider their mission of spoia-
tion and robbery complete if they did not
dishonesty add to the burdens of the press
and seek to smuggle their doctrines into
tariff journals 1t is impossible to account
on any othertheory for the transmission by tele-
graph of these precious extracts from the free
trade professors speech:-"A protective tariff
is an abomination;" "The Government has
no right to levy taxes except for revenue pur-
poses" 'tRemove protection and freights
will fall one half; and cheap freights are the
great need of the West. The duty ON coal
should be taken off this winter, and on salt
next winter" ''The more intelligent woollen
manufacturers are beginning to understand
that the tariff is dragging them down. and
declare themselves ready to abandon it, and
a mass of other matter of the same general
tenor. Since the free traders find their new
dodge SO successful, they should next attempt
to extend it to the street-corner conversations
of the parties who are most deeply interested
in the destruction of American industry,
many of which are much more interesting
and important, and thousand times more
honest, than the arguments of their new
champion.

THE LATEST DEVELOPNENT or
THE BYRON SCANDAL.

THE American press, Immediately upon the
appearance of Mrs. Stoves scandalolls paper
on Byron and his sister, in the September
number of the atlantic, exposed the gross in
accuracy of its statements of matters of
fact, and thoroughly ventilated the sophisti-
cal arguments by which the writer endeavored
to sustain her position. The grossness of
the charge combined with the irreproachable
reputation that had always been borne by
Mrs Leigh, caused doubts even in the minds
of those who were willing to believe that
Byron was capable Of any wickedness. AS
Mrs. Stowe might have foreseen, such foul
accusation was subjected to the most
searching analysis by thousands of minds in
both hemispheres, and it was substantially
refuted in the United States on it's own
internal evidences before any expression
of English opinion reached this side of the
Atlantic In England the sensation excited
by the pretended disclosures of Mrs. Stowe
was most profound, and although few in
fiuential journals like the SATURDAY Regie,o
and Spectator accepted the story at first sight
and almost without question, the expression
of public opinion in favor of Byron and his
sister was even more decided than in this
country. Although the subject has almost
ceased to be a matter of controversy in the
United States, it is still being discussed with
the utmost eagerness in England, and the re-
suit is the accumulation of mass of evidence
against Mrs. Stowe and Lady Byron that is
overwhelming, and that nothing but the most
positive proofs of the guilt of the accused
parties can set aside.
The latest development of the case is con-
tanned in an elaborate article in the Quar-
terly Reoieeo, which analyzes Mrs. Stoves
statements more closely than has been done
hitherto, and which effectually disposes of that
writer by producing hitherto unpublished let
ters from Lady Byron to Mrs. Leigh, showing
that the wife and sister of Byron were on
terms of the most affectionate intimacy both
before and after the separation that
could not have been written if Lady Byron
had believed at the time the foul
charge against her husband and sister
inlaw that she was fond of repeating during
her later years. And this brings us to an ex-
ceedingly curious part of the affair. Since
the publication of Mrs. Stoves article ii has
been shown that the accusation was not new
one, and that it had frequently been whis-
pered about in private circles for many years
past. but without obtaining the slightest Gre
dence. The quarterly Reeie0 shows that
Lady Byron told to many persons the same
story as she did to Mrs. Stowe, supplying
them with memoranda, and asking advice as
to the expediency of publication. Lady
Byron told the story with different details to
different persons, and the opinion of her
friends was that the whole was merely the re-
suit of diseased and morbid imagination.
