I'm school Days.

IS Lady ByrOn's Answer TO Lord ByrOn's Fare
well to his Wife,"
We call attention to the two poems, enti-
tied as above, which may be found on the
second page.
"In School Days" is one of Whittier's best
poems. And Whittier is one of Americas
best poets. Generally, he writes IN accord
ance with the laws of poetry, but in this pO-
EN- there is one error, which he made, or the
printers made it for him. Pushing with
restless feet the snow" in the seventh
verse is like, g Brushing the dew from off
the grass" in the poem, Early at the Gate,
by Mrs. Frank Leland. In both, the verse
requires the accent to be on the second sylla-
BILE, but the accent is on the first syllable of
Pushing as well as Brushing and both alike
express the sense. And it is not easy to find
words with the accent on the second syllable
which will express the sense equally as well
as Pushing and Brushing. Admitting Whit
tiel to have used the word, Pushing, we
would suggest the propriety Of Whittier and
Mrs. Leland, each applying to the other for
assistance to find the right word to take the
place, respectively, of Pushing and Brushing.
And when each has found the right word, let
both do as Washington Irving did, rejoice
that they have found the right words.
Lady Byron's Answer-in sentiment and
poetry-will speak for itself. It shows that
Lady Byron, as well as Lord Byron, was a
poet of good ability. And we think it will
be read with interest by all who feel equally
interested in Lord and Lady Byron and can
appreciate good poetry.

For many years the executive and admin.
istratiye departments OF the state govern
ment have so fully enjoyed the confidence Of
the people that legislatures have not felt
called upon to enter into an extended inyss.
tigation of the conduct of state affairs And
yet prominent among the duties devolvng
upon your branch of the government is that
of carefully watching the others, and taking
care that the trust reposed by the people in
their servants is not betrayed. Your vigilance
IN tnln regard should never be relaxed. Such
reviews Of the workings OF our system of
government often serves q good purpose, even
when they reflect credit upon the officials
whose conduct is the subject Of Investigation.
They frequently suggest iudicious changes in
the laws. The officers lately in charge OF the
administrative departments invite the closest
investigation of their official behavior. I am
confdenC that such examination will onlv
more fully demonstrate their honor, zeal and
ability IN the public service For myself, I
hope that the manner in which gil my official
duties have been performed will receive the
most thorough scrutiny atyoLr hands.
z Heretofore the several departments of the
state government have lsbored together in
perfect harmony. That such relations will
continue do not doubt.i Confident that all
your deliberations win have tor their object
the welfare Of the people, I shall cheerfulIy
and earnestly corporate with you in that
behalf. LUCIUS FAIRCHIID.

Crawford County Press"

We welcome the first number of the
above named paper to our table and as
one of our exchanges, It is published
every Friday morning at Prairie du Chen,
Wisconsin, by Fl. J. Hoffman, late of the
Northeastern Democrat, Black River Falls.
It is an eight column folio, and is well
printed and the paper good.
The publisher says:
GAS to politics, we come as an earnest
democrat, without personal malice to-
ward those that differ with US, to lend
our best energies to the overthrow OF rad
icalisrn and misrule, and to this end our
efforts will be as unceas1ng as the flow Of
the mighty river at our feet"
IF we know how friend Hoffman use>
the words Democrat and Radicalisn, we
should know better how to understand
what he says. For our part, we can
scarcely see how an earnest and true
democrat could labor to overflow true
radicalism. We believe true democra-
cy to be right, and we believe a true rad
icalism, goes TO the root of a true de-
nocracy, to make sure to understand and
carry itoout Alright. With US, both de-
mocracy and radicalism are right, and
rightly understood, both have in view
the highest good of the people. Judging
from Mr. Hoffman's political antecedents,
we fear he uses both democracy and rad
icalism in their false sense. And yet,
judging from his natural and inherent
honesty, we trust that he will in time, if
he does not now, use both words in their
true sense, and devote his best energies
for the establishment Of the principles
of both, and for their practical applica-
ton in governmental affairs.

The BslIetin Of the American Iron and
Steel Association puts the product of pig
iron in the United States 10 the last FIVE
years, as follows In 1865; 93l 900 tons,
net; 1868, 1908, 900 tons; 1869, / 100000
tons. During the last eighteen months,
sixty-fge new blast furnaces have been
erected Nineteen of these we're In Penn
sylgania. Thirty years ago the entire pro-
duct oi pig iron III the Ubited States was
but so, 600 tons, and the largest furnace was
only capable of producing l.500 tons an
nually. In regard to steel, the Pfotectionist
has the following:
Within the last six years it has been de-
moDstraied that the steel-produciug qualities
do exist in American iron, and many Of our
best edget tool manufacturers and machinists
testify that steel. both cast and rolled, made
in Pittsburgh from American iron, is fully
equal to the best English makes.
The steel producing capacity Of the
works in and around Pittsburgh alone IS es-
timated at seventy-fve tons per day. This
industry may, therefore, be deemed an &c
complished fact, and, brief as its history is,
it has already exercised an important in
fuenee In controlling foreign prices.
IL is shown that American axes, shovels,
spades, hoes, g., have entirely taken the
place of foreign tools. Nothing equal to
them in shape or finish is made abroad, and
they are now largely exported American
butts and hinges of all kinds are cheaper and
better, and entirely exclude all foreign
goods. In cutlery OF al kinds. the medium
American qualities, Of which the largest
bulk enter into consumption, are cheaper
and better than those Of foreign impOrta-

LETTER FROM HARRISBURG.


HARRISBURG, d. ICb. D 4o4b.
THE STATE TREASURY INVESTIGATION.
The Finance Committee of the Senate
have had State Treasurer Mackey before
them during the past week, but the infor-
nation directly developed was little more
than was previously known. He stated
that when he took possession of the Office,
ou the first Of May last, abUut 81, 100, 900
came into his hands from his predecessor.
A portion of this amount he deposited with
a number Of banks at Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh and Harrisburg. To the question
whether he had received any compensation
directly or indirectly for allowing the money
of the Commonwealth to remain on deposit
in these banks he declined to answer. He
however denied having used the money of
the State for speculating or fol his own
private purposes. The examination will be
continued next week, and Messrs. Irwin,
Kemble, Moore and McGrath, Ex State
Treasurers, have been summoned to ap
pear before the Committee Unless the in
vestigation develops something of more i'm
portance than the examination Of Mr..
Mackey thus far, the labors Of the com
mittee will amount to but little.

VERY LIKE a sNAKE.

We would call the attention Of our Sena-
tor and Members to the very suspicious ap
pearance of Senate bin No. Is, entitled an
act TO authorize turnpike, plankroad and
canal companies to issue bonds &c. lssu-
Ing bonds may he very harmless proceed
inc. If that were all, but like some others Of
the snake species, this one carries its sting
in its taiL In the l9th Goth and 2lst lines
It reads: and any such company may and
Is hereby authorised 10 abandon for public
use such portion or portions Of tbed roads or
lines Of Improvement as moy be deemed ty

public use. This is the dangerous part Of
the bill and ought aot to be permitted to
pass. Under 1t the Chambersburg and
Bedford turnpike company or any other
road or canal company in the State may
abandon any portion of their lines that may
not happen to pay them and reserve and
collect toll upon what pays This would be
defeating the very object for which these
companies are chartered. Under this bill
even the Pennsylvania railroad company
may abandon the canal from HoliidaysbuTg
to MifIin, or any other part Of the ccnal
and compel all coal and heavy freights, now
passing through the canal from the mining
regions, to pay freights over the road at
much higher rates and in violation of the
contract by which they obligated themselves
to keep up and improve the canal. Every
one must see at a glance the dangerous char.
aeter of the bill and we hope our member.

YUT ron FREE-TRADERs TO
CRACK.


The Free traders aud their foreign en-
Movers generally work together quite har-
mouiously. but occasionally the zeal of the
h;reIing herd exceeds their knowledge. A
case Of this kind has just occurred. 5. w.
HOPKINS & Co., a British firm manufactur
ing railroad iron. have issued circular to
their trade in which they discuss the pres,
peets of the trade and the present and pros
peetive prices Of railroad iron. 1t very
frankly SAYS that there has been large
British production Of railroad iron the past
year and G40. GOO tons have been exported.
L further states that the prices have ruled
at about six pounds sterling per ton, but
that reduction Of the American duty
would increase the demand and raise the
price to seven pounds per ton. Here We
End the British manufacturer hoping for
reduction of the American duty on iron so
as to enable him to get about $500 per ton
more for his iron. while his dupe the free
trader here IS urging reduction of the
duty so that we may get cheap iron, and
many of our people are thoughtless enough
to be captiYated by the deceptive argument.
Let our people remember that however low
the price Of foreign iron, land foreign rails
are generally Of poor quality, the moment
our tariff is reduced the demand increases
and the foreign prices are at once raised
and we are obliged to pay as much abroad
in gold for foreign rails as We would have f
pay at home, where we can pay for them, il
ore, coal, meat grain, vegetables and
thousand articles that we would otherwise
have no market for. Don't be deceived bl
the false logic Of free traders the true an'
only sure source Of prosperity Is protection
