Prodncing Cost of Pie Iron.

One OF Mr.. WelI'5 peculIarltIes Is
that his explanations and deiences
are, on the whole, a great deal more
unpleasant reading for his enemies
| than his reports. La the last report,
| he set down the cost of producing
pig iron in America at $24 to $26 a
| ton currency; the cost of English or
| Welsh pig, at $27 II, counting gold
at 133, to which have to be added
| freight, insurance, and other expen-
ses, before it can be delivered In this
country. But the average price of
American pig during the year 1869
was from $36 to $28, from which Mr..
| Wells deduces the not unnatural con-
clusion that the present duty of So a
ton is unnecessarily high; and has
taken from eight to ten dollars ton
out of the pockets of American peo-
pie during the past year without
necessity, and that So ton duty will
give American manufacturers all the
protection they need. To which Mr..
Kelley replied that Mr.. Wells had
corruptly erred with regard to the
cost of producing American iron, and
presented a petition from thirteen
prominent Pennsylvania iron manu-
facturers, begging Congress not to
believe the Commissioner, and declar-
ing that the cost of production was
over $29 a ton, and calling loudly for
the data on which his estimate was
based. Whereupon the remorseless
Wells produces, as his authorities,
Mr.. @. 7. Lewis, of Tennessee, q
thoroughly experienced iron manu-
facturer," aud endorsed as such BY
the Pottsville, Pennsylvania, Mining
Journal; Professor Waterhouse, OF
the Washington University, Missouri,
reporting under the auspices of the
Governor, the StLouis Board of
Trade, and Union Merchants Ex-
change; and Mr.. Abram S. Hewitt, of
this city, another great iron manufac-
turer. There is one joke in the reply,
but it is not bad one. Messrs.
Brown, Konnel & Co., of Youngs-
town, Ohio, writing to Professor
Waterhouse for his report in aid of
emigratiau last year, as to the cost
pig iron at $25 a ton" But when
NEE ting of iron manufacturers was
held in this same youngstown,
December 81, at which it was resolved
cost of iron was from s24 to $26
was utterly untrue" and Mr. Joseph
Fl. Brown, of this same firm of
Brown, Konnel & Co., was put on
deputation to go to Washington to
lobby against his recommendations
A good memory is apparently as
necessary in the iron manufacture es
IN some other callings. We should
add that the Pennsylvania nenufactu-
rers refused to give the Commissioner
any information whatever, so he was
forced to take Mr.. Hewitt's testimony
that the cheapest place to produce
iron in this country VAS the banks
of the Lehigh River. The Tribune
takes no notice of this Fejoinder.
How does Mr.. Greeley defend this
sort of editing, on grounds Of moral
ity? We should really like 20 know.
and ask in candid spirit.-NGtiOn.

1t would be strange phenomenon
if the murder of poor Townsend on
Saturday night, did not greatly shock
the whole community. Every circum-
stance in connection with it is calcu-

what a recollection for her to carry

to think of dying like that? Let

and her children, and what must be
her feelings toward the scoundrel now
chuckling over his crime in the
Leonard Street Station House.
We are speaking the plain truth

no signs of penitence. He boasted to
some of the officials of the prison that
he did il " for q SPREE" Hanging

spirit in which Reynolds is passing
away his time in the Station House

the grave, and the voice of the father

Heaven for vengeance. Is not the
exultation of the assassin justified?

think he is forgotten. they will allow
him to walk out of the Tombs. Is it
not the same with Douglas, the Deputy

blood last November. By this time
he ought to have suffered for his
crime. He has not even been tried

A STRANGE CASE,
STKANGE CASE.
A Lady, Angered at Being Disinherited.
Tears Her Fathers Will to Pieces,

From the San Francisco Call
few days ago an old Californian died in
an adjoining town, leaving somewhere in the
neighbOrhOod of one million dollars wortl,
OF property, as it was generally supposed. to
his only daughter, the wife of a highly re-
spected citizen. But after the burial had
taken place, the will OF the dead man was
brought to light, and read to the daughter
and number of those who had been en-
ployed by the testatOr during his lifetime.
1t then became evident that the father had
cut his daughter off without a shilling, and
that he had hG1ueathed all his vast estate
to persons who had been his employees his
companions. etc. When the will was read.
and the daughter learned that she had been
robbed OF what was her Just inheritance
she new into passion, and seizilg the will
tore it to pieces
This action caused CO. siderable conster-
nation, and our informant states that, the
grand jury OF the county being in session.
the matter was Immediately referred TO
them, and the daughter indicted for her
hasty and imprudent action.
Our informant says that some ten or
twelve years ago the daughter married her
present husband in opposition to the wishes
OF her father. who sworc that he would
never forgive her, and while laboring under
his passion he made his will. The GOODNESS
between the father and daughter lasted for
several days, and then reconciliation took
place, and the one act Of disObedience was
forgotten and forgiven. The daughter and
her husband became frequent visitors at the
Old mans house, and were with him during
his last illness and when he died. They, as
well as others, supposed that the will disin-
her1tlng the dauther had been DESTROYED
but 1t appears that the father had either for
gotten or neglected to tear it up
