very unstable footing, with the tide setting
against candidate!
Here, then, are thirty-fve Republican dis
tricts in the old free States in every one of
which the Democrats have fair chance for
success at the next election. Let US now
turn to the more murky region of the late
slaveholding States.
Here the data whereon to make calculations
are far less certain than under the clearer
political atmosphere Of the North and West
Only one thing is sure, and that is, that the
Democracy Jared so badly in the last Congress
sional contests in those States, they must in-
evitably fare good deal better next Novem-
Der. They will undoubtedly secure the seat
of Hefin of Alabama, who was elected by
only 153 majority of Roots of Arkansas, who
got but 1854; of Tilman of Tennessee, who
obtained his place by vote of the House
ofDuvall of West Virginia, who received $40
majority in poll Of nearly 5000; of Van
Horn Of Missouri, who got SGT, and Dyer of
the same State, who got 432, both in heavy
poll while Benjamine's district is also clearly
in danger. In North Carolina, the four dis
tricts represented by Dockery, majority ,961;
by Deweese, just resigned to avoid expulsion
tor cadet-mongering, majority 1,240; by
Shober, majority ,059 and by Jones, who
got in by vote of the House, will be pretty
certain to elect Democrats
Here are ten districts of the South, now
represented by Republicans, which the De-
mocracy may fairly expect to secure; and in
the chaotic condition of politics below the
Potomac and the Ohio, if they will strike
boldly for their share of the negro vote, they
may secure twenty just as easily.

EXCEPTIONAL PATRIor1sm.

The New York Tribune has heard
of what it considers an astounding in
stance of patriotism. Daniel K.
Weld, soldier of the 84th Pennsyl-
vania Regiment. has written to the
Commissioner of Pensions that hav-
ing recovered from his wounds sufi-
GENTLY to support himself by his own
labor he desires to have his pension
discontinued. Such an instance of dis
interested patriotism tho Tribune wri-
ter thinks never was heard of before
aud probably never will be again.
The philosophic editor of the Tribune
is not welIinformed-or else his men,
ory is short. The case however re-
markable is not uncommon. It would
not be very difficult for the Tribune
editor to find soldiers who have not
recovered from their wounds and fur
thermors have no prospect Of recoV-
cry who have neUer applied for a pen
sion. We think possibly we might
cite him to such cases. Nor has the
time wholly passed from human memo
ry when tens of thousands Of Daniel
K. Yields, casting aside not only the
prospects and profits Of business and
every other mereenary consideration
but the stronger attractions of home
and family presented their lives, the
most precious Of eartnly possessions,
to save the country. We submit
whether men who could make such
sacrifices would set much store by a
few paltry dollars ofgovernment ehari-
ty or regard any mercenary reward as
the least inducement or compensation
for their services.
We are so accustomed to measure
mems motives by the almighty dollar
that it is rare to attribute even the
best of deeds to unselfsh impulses.
The IFibune's astonishment at the
case Of Daniel K. Weld indicates
doubt as to his sincerity, or ifnot that,
at least doubt whether there ara or
have been any other cases of equal pa
triotism. Indeed, We know the opinion
is entertainedby some-we have heard
it expressed-that the soldiers were
abundantly paid for their services, as
though money could have been the
chief if not the sole inducement for
their sacrifices. We do not know

An effort is being made to have Fitz
John Porter relieved from the disabil-
tiles imposed upon him by sentence of
court martial for his treachery at the
second Bull Run battle. Being per-
sonally cognizaut of many of the cir
cumstances ana facts bearing upon
Porter's conduct we have always
heartily approved the sentence of the
court. Had Porter received his full
deserts he would, as Dom Piatt says,
have been shot by file of crippled
soldiers. Porter's infamous conduct
gave the enemy a victory that should
have been ours, caused the fruitless
slaughter Of thousands of brave men
and endangered the capital of the coun-
try. Gen. Pope's management of his
forces at the battle of Groveton, or
Second Bull Run, as it is called, what
ever it may have been on other occa-
sions, was excellent,and his defeat was
directly and solely attributable to the
want of cooperation on the part of
MeClellan's claquers, among whom
Porter was tue most criminal and con
spieuous. No candid person who has
even fair knowledge Of the tactics of
the battle can help admitting this
Porter's sentence was exceptionally
exemplary and just and ought not to
be reversed.

WHAT 1T COSTS To MANU-
FACTURE A TON OF PIG
IRON.

1kONs
The iron manufacturers of Pennsyl-
vauia having memoriaIized Congress to
ascertain the data on which Mr.. Wells
based his estimates Of the cost Of pig
iron, and stated in their memorial that
the cost of manufacturing such iron In
Pennsylvania was s29. 164 per ton in
the year 1868 and $29 63 per ton in
1869, Mr.. Wells hastens to furnish the
data asked for without waiting for the
request of Congress. He shows from
unquestionable authority-that ofiron
manufacturers of excellent standing
that at the Cumberland Iron Works,
in Tennessee, pig-iron was nanufac-
tured in 1869 for $16. 80 per ton, and
that it can be made on the Nash
vile & Chattanooga Railroad and de-
livered at Nashville for $40 per ton.
The same quality of metal can be
made at Nashville for $22. go per ton.
1t is shown by data equally positive
and reliable, copied from the books of
the iron manufacturers, that pig-iron
at the Carondelet furnaces, in Missou-
ri, costs only $25 per ton, yet sells for
from $33 to $42 per ton. This. too,
although the coal used in smelling
costs more in Missouri than it does in
Pennsylvania.
One of the largest iron works in
itts5urgh puts the total cost of a
ton of pig-iron at S27. SO. Messrs
Brown, Bonnet & Co., of the Maho-
ming Works at youngstown, Ohio, es-
innate the total cost of manufacturing
ton of pig-iron at s25.
Commissioner Wells concludes the
letter in which these data are contain
ed as follows
1t thus becomes evident, on the
showing of the petitioners themselves,
that a duty of three dollars per ton
is more than sufficient to place the
manufacturers of the highest cost pig
iron In the United States on the terms
of perfect equality with their foreign
competitors, and to afford a still larger
measure Of advantage and protection
(leaVlng margin Tor pronls ranging
from forty to one hundred per cent? to
those manufacturers in New York.
Pittsburg, Ohio, Missouri and Ten
nessee, who are able to produce pig
iron at a considerably smaller cost
than the price claimed in Eastern
Pennsylvania.
The Commissioner is not conscious
of any personal or unworthy motive
10 advocating a reduction of the tariff
on pig-iron 70 minimum but his in
vestigations have fully satisfied him
that there is no other one thing which
contributes so powerfully to arrest the
development of the country at the
present time, to increase the cost Of
the transportation of agricultural and
other productions, and TO prevent the
resuscItation Of the shipping and ship
building interests, and the extension

some Of the citizens have been repair

more, fixing their fences, and arrang

their dwellings and Oheerfulness

who. are particularly noted for their
good taste aud beauty. are not behind
in doing their part towards ornament
ing and adOrning their homes with
vases and beds Of beautiful flowers,
which with their smiles, renders the
the place lovely and our homes para

Again you see the same spirit mani
tested IN regard to the churches. The
Baptists have papered and painted
their house Of worship aud now it is

The Honorable A. Ward one of the
Cincinnati Reformers, has introduced
a bill to prohibit the reading Of the
Bible or any act Of. worship in the
public schools. We suggest that the
Honorable Ward include in his bill
the beathen mythoIogies, Virgil, Hor-
ace, Homer and Milton. All these
works ineulcate some form or other of
religious doctrine and must therefore
be equally as poisonous to the youth
full mind as the Bible. We would also
suggest that for the same reason the
historical works of Taeitus, Hume
Gibbon and D'Aubigue, the poetry of
Young, Wordsworth, Montgomery,
Shelley and Burns, the philoso-
ply of Emerson and the sermons of
Henry Ward Beecher be likewise ex-
cluded. 1t is possible that in the ab-
sence Of a prohibitvry law some of
these books might be read in the pub
lic schools and warp the juvenile in
telIect to an unwholesCme degree.
Seetarian newspapers should be es-
ehewed of courses likewise all that
take sides on political questions. In
fact we have not time to enumerate
all the books adapted to instil secta-
rian or partisan poison into the young
idea and which should therefore be
tabooed in the schools. A. Ward has
undertaken stupendous reform and
we doubt whether he shall live tosee
its consummation.

any other nations the compeeFs of the
United States in civilization. wealth,

What the Commissioners desires to
effect is, to diminish the expenses of
living and of domestic production, by
eheapening the cost of articles of
necessary consumption and the mate
rials of American manufactures.
Those on the other hand. who desire
to keep up the cost of iron, evidently
think the burdens upon the people
