Hot Blast Furnace, proposed to be
built In, or e this city, and, accom-
panying II, a letter from our fellow
citizen, DIR. Joshua Cobb, the arting
Secretary of the meeting Of citizens
held for the purpose of organizing a
Company for the erection Of said
Furnace. The favorable report of the
analytical Chemist ought to remove
all doubt Of the success of the enter
prise, provided it is judiciously man

operations. We hope immediate
steps will be taken to give prac-

meeting above mentioned, and that
the stock necessary to its completion

The T1cstions Next Monday.

Elections take place on monday next in Ken
tucEy ard Montana. In Kentucky, State officers,
including the Governor, Lieutenant Governor
Attorney General, Auditor, Treasurer, Superin-
tendent o. Public Instruction, and Register of
Lands, are 70 De chosen. The candidates for
Governor are General John VI. Harlan, republi-
can, and Preston II. leslie, democrat, and they
have been stumping the State in company since
the meeting OF the two conventions. The repub-
iieans are working ike beavers and for the first
time with any hope of carrying the State. They
figure ont that their candidate for Governor win
have between 5000 and 10000 votes, IS 900 of
them from eOlOred men, and IL this is realized
which is hardly pOssible-the republican ticket is
elected for the largest vote ever cast in the State
before vas 15J,45s. Many men who have hereto
fore been demOcratssay they win vote for Harlan
this year. 4" But whether Harlan is elected
Governor OF not" says Louisville cOrrespon-
dent, the result Of this campaign is certain to
be substantial victory for the republican party
In the election for Representative in Congress in
1870 the total vote of the State was: Democratic,
Sc,45O; republican, 81 ,2f7; democratic majority,
g, 2o3.
In Montana Territory an election will be held
next Monday for Delegate to the Forty-second
Congress. The democratic candidate is E. w.
TOOle, and the republican candidate William III.
Clagett. The vote at the last election was as
follows: Democratic, SECS; republican, 3.I5;
democratic majority, SEQ. The friends of Mr..
Cavanaugh, democrat, the late Delegate In Con-
gress, are somewhat dissatisfied with mis- defeat
for denomination, however, and may refuse to
vote for Mr.. TOOle.

Returns from the North Carolina election in
cicate that the State has voted in favor of a
convention by small majority. One estimate
places it at 800. The question had been made
q strict party issue-the democrats Tor conven-
ton and republicans ag2inSt-and the canvass
has been unusually not and exciting. The cleo
ton was ordered by a bare majority OF the Gen
eral Ass, mbly, Notwithstanding the present State
constitution provides that no alterations shall be
made in it unless biI for the purpose shall
have PASSED by three-fifths majority, and shall
have been published six months previous to a
new election Of members. and shall have passed

joriry. finally being submitted TO the people for
ratification By a majority of their votes The
democrats having obtained majority in the
Assembly, and succeeded in depOsing Governor
Holden, inaugUrated the movement for a new
Constitutional convention, in order that they
might undo the work OF their republican pre-
decesSors- Whether they will be allowed 20 take
tbs ''new departure in view of the fact that
there IS no constitutional method of altering the
constitution save that which the constitution
Itself provides, is doubtful. 1t is contended by
the republicans that rs the democrats have not
tie majority required to propose amendments

tioual measure.

more especially inclined. Their first aeouaint-

1t Is aD open question whether the government
Is not responsible for the fearful loss OF life
which occurred in New York last Sunday, from
the ferry boat boiler explosion, instead of the
ferry co Hpany, or, rather, whether the former
IS not equally guilty with the latter for the awful
consequences OF greed and carelessness. OF
course he company IS eriminaIly guilty for not
Trsuring safety TO the travelling public; but the
government of.icer Who inspected the boilers
and certified to their fitness is the man who led
the trusting public to take passage in the fatal
slaughter pen. Had he done his duty, intelli-
gently and conscient!ously, the boilers would
have been eondemn long ago, and IN all prob
ability the victims would be alive and well to-
day. Whatever punishment may be meted to
the ferry company-and We trust ii will be swift
and terrible-shOUld be visited alike upon the
ignorant OF corrupt officer Of the government to
whose CeEeleti0n 80 much OF death and suffering
are Chargeable. II is time that somsthing OF
responsibility hJuld accompany the hoiors and
emolunents OF offee-hOlding, and especially
that class which has 10 do with the protection OF
human life.
