A valuable discovery has been made by an
inventive genius in Ohio which consists OF converting
iron into steel that may be cast In any form In mods
and which is Of quality that Is suitable for axes OF
other edge tools for rails all being done Mt one pro-
cess The trouble in making steel heretofore has been
its viscdty under device OF melting; whence shap
and thin castings have been unattainable. Ropy aud

covery II all that Is claimed for 1t is true, will work

We find tho above floating through our
exchanges and have waited some weeks ior
clearer and fuller account of the alleged DIS

the Patent Office. If it be half true, IL Is OF
moro account than all the fighting around
Paris during the past fortnight. Ii any one
has knowledge Of such an invention, anu
knows how to impart it, we will thank HIM to
send an account to THE TRIBUNE.
We are always more than willing to give an
account of any really great invention, such as
this purports to be; but we choose never 10

stage of drawing and model into actual use.
Until then, we prefer to maintain silence. anu

projected or designed an invention, let them

Our new Tammany masters-Twced. Hall
and Sweeny-come into absolute power by
virtue of the Tax Levy bill, authorized to col
lect nearly S5O,OOOOOO of revenue the first
year of their Trinmvirate. That they VIII
spend it no one will doubt; more too ii they
can get it, and it will presently be discovered
that the bill contains some heretofore skill
fully concealed authorization to tax us 'beyond
the limit of human endurance. The Tax Levy
bill limits the amount to be raised under 1t to
$95,OO0,O00 but other measures for the sale OF
bonds, assessments, licenses, &c, nearly double
the apparent limit of taxation. Nearly one
third of the amount is to be raised by the sale
OF bonds. Heretofore, all such bills contained
provsos that the seven per cent bonds of the
city were not TO bc sold at less than par, but
the present bill omits all mention of any such
condition. Controller Connolly can sell the

The Territory of Columbia starts on her ca
reer of self-government under f1attering aus
pices, electing stanch Republican (Gen.
Chipman) as her Delegate in Congress by over
1000 majority, and Territorial House of
Delegates composed of Is Republicans and z
Democrats. Democratic journals and politi-
clans are doubtless as much surprised as cha
grined at the result. Counting upon the large
majority of white voters in the District, on
the inveterate hatred of the "nigger" by the
wealthy old aristOcratic families they expected
triumph. The personal popularity OF Gen.
Chapman doubtless contributed largely to our
success; but that the new Territory is over
whelmingly Republican Is demonstrated in the
vote for members of the House of Delegates,
where we not only elect over two-thirds of the
members, but have the handsome aggregate
majority of 9,779 on the popular vote.
New-York tribune., 1871-04-22
ERIE LOGIC,

Mr. Orange s. Winans is not person to be
argued with; but his sophistries may be used
10 expose kindred unreason as well as any.
Mr.. w. is a trusted and well paid employe
of the Erie Railroad: Wherefore, he gives out
that it was his duty, as legislator, to vote
"a the interests of that road seemed to dictate.
This is pretty steep; but what Is the Erie Rail
road Company Is it not an ASSOCIATION OF
persons who furnished the money which built
that road, or have purchased and now hold an
assignment of the rights which those persons
acquired by paying their money? Can any one
answer No to this question:
Well the men who paid in the money which
built the Erie Road ask the Legislature to
let the Owners of its stock choose q JnH Board
of Directors at their merit election In other
words: they ask that those who own this
great property may control and manage it pre-
csely as its charter originally promised that
they should. But Messrs. Gould, Fisk, Tweed
and Lane, having obtained control of it some
years ago. have had an act passed whereby
they can retain control Of it for years, III
spite of twO-thirds of the stockholders
They compose the Executive Committee
of the Board of Directors, wherein all power
is centered; they are President, Treasurer
&c; ; and they have classified themselves SO
that their terms do not expire for some years
vet. If q majority of the stockholders were
to try to turn them out, and could Keep thelr
stock and proxies out of the reach of Barnarfs
iniunctions, they could not reach the managers
of their property save through two or three
successive annual elections.
This network of rascality, this cherdur-de-
frie.e of villainy, the Democratic majority III
the Legislature votes solid to perpetuate and
Mr. Winans votes with them because he is an
employG of the Erie Road His fidelity Is due
not to those whose bread he eats, but to the
knaves who have stolen the greater part OF IT.,
but have not yet stopped his allowance
Men and brethren! we must hereafter choose
as legislators men who, if they are base enough
to betray their trust for bribes, will not insult
us by such excuses as this, but respect our in
telligence so much as to pocket the wages OF
their shame in silence.
