= mob of twenty-seven disguised men,
Thursday morning, to capture the Jail at

the jailer resisted and citizens gathering,
drove off the mob. Great excitement pre-
vailed in the county, and the Jail is now
heavily guarded. The murderer Cunning
ham is confined there, and two men charg-
ed with rape. The mob asserted that they
wanted to lynch the latter, but the citizens
believe they were confederates Of Cunnin-
ham seeking to release him. The Cover

Districting Of the State by Congress;

1t is now proposed by the Republican
members of Congress to pass an apportion-
rpent billfor this State, the Governor hav-
ing declined to sign the one passed by the
Legislature. The members of Congress
from this State are anxious for such bill.
The legislation desired has never before
been attempted by Congress, but they have
the opinion of some of the Oldest lawyers in
the House, among them Judge Mereur, now
candidate for the Supreme sJudgeship of
this State, that the proposed action is clear
ly within the scope of the constitutional au-
thority of Congress. The opinion is
founded ON the clause Of the Constitution
which provides that " times, places and
manner of holding elections for Senators
and Representatives shall be prescribed in
each State by the Legislature thereof, but
that Congress may al any time by law make
OF alter such regulations, except as to the
places of choosing Senator's"

THE increasing demand for iron and met
ais, which is in excess of present produc-
ton, has given an upward turn to prices
until the extreme limit to values would
seem to have been reached. Scotch Pig
Iron, which ruled at $40 to $42 per ton at
the beginning of the year 1870, has ad-
vanced to $50@$52 Copper, Tin, Sheet
Iron, and other materials have also advan-
ced in corresponding degree, and the ten
dency OF values is still upward. The effect
of this rise in raw materials has been very
marked in the hardware market, rs indica.
ted by the higher prices of all descriptions
of staple goods. The consumption of iron
in the United States in 1871 is estimated al
1900, 900 tons, while the native production,
as appears by the statistics, was only about
! 1000, 600 tons; the balance having been i'm.
ported from other countries. OF the guam
tity consumed it is estimated that nearly
half the amount is used in the uilding ano
equipment of railroads. AS new railroads
are constructed the demand for iron re
quired for rails and rolling stock will con
tinue to be very great.
There are now a total Of over go, 600 miles
of railway in this country. And it is es
timated that it requires 100000 tons OF
rails annually, simply to keep the roads il
order.

Civil Service Reform.

The report of the Advisory Board of the
Civil Service, with accompanying regula-
tions, has been promulgated, and the Pres
ident has issued the following order
The Advisory Board of the Civil Service
having completed the grouping contempla-
ted by the rules already adopted, have rec
ommended certain provisions for carrying
the rules into effect. The recommendations,
as herewith published, are approved, and
the provisions will be enforced as rapidly as
the proper arrangements can be made,
and the thirteenth of the rules, adopted on
the 18th day of December last, is amended
to read as published herewith. The ut
most fidelity and diligence will be expected
of all officers in every branch of the pub
lie service. Political assessments, as they
are called, have been forbidden within the
various Departments, and while the right
of all persons in official positions TO take
part in politics is acknowledged, and the
elective franchise is recognized as high
trust to be discharged by all entitled to its
exercise, whether in the employment OF
the government or in private life, honesty
and efficiency, not political activity will de-
termine the tenure of Office

Washington, April 16, 1872.
We earnestly hope the above order will
be carried out faithfully, but if it is, some

entire occupation and the nation can dis
pense with the services of about half Of
those now living off the public treasury
The order reads very nice, but how it will
operate remains to be seen.

LETTER FROM SENATOR WILSON.

Senator Wilson has written letter in re-
-n,v~tn~a number of Brooklyn, n. T.,
Germans who. requested him TO INFORM q
them whether he was ever a memper OF
the Know Nothing party. The letter Is IN
German, and the Following is transia-
ton: 90 900
NAT1cK, Mass, Aug. 20, 1872.
Messrs. Bernhard, Fierert and Ot8ers:
Gentlemen,-I am in receipt OF your
houored favor in which you inquire
whether the reports that / was once
member of the Know Nothing party are
founded in truth. or are fictions created
nv political enemies. Let ME say TO re-
assure YOU that have never been men,
her of The Know Nothing party, and have
never voted with it, but thatl have always
exerted myself to fight against its detrl-
mental principles from the beginning OF its
existence. both by word and action, and
nnon every occasion. From the subjoined
extracts in my speeches, which have APP
peared in several German papers, you may
gather that have always declared freely
and openly the principle that adopted citi-
zens Of our Union ought to enjoy the same
rights as the natives, and that whatever OF
oppression of any class of citizens exists be-
cause they differ from some other classes,
and principally because they are foreign
born, is in striking contradiction to the
principles of true religion, the fear OF God
and the spirit Of our enlightened age, and
that such warning against our immigrated
citizens is most unjust, inhuman and in-
polite.
These utterances are in perfect accord
with the liberal views which have always
entertained during my long political
career. On this basis rests the whole fab
ric Of our powerful republican party-the
party of progress--whose immoyable pill
lars are freedom, equality and fraternity.
This now, is and will be my watchword
so long as live and labor With the
greater energy, therefore, must de.
nounce such calumious SANDER, and de.
clare it contemplate election manGuvre
which, though without success, has been
used against me several times, especially
in the years 1855 and 1858, by the OPP
ponents Of the republican party. As you
honored gentlemen, are well able to dis.
tinguish truth from falsehood, you will,
hope. sirs, favor me with your kind conf.
dence in the future. In this agreeable
expectation, and thanking you most hearth
" for your frank letter, subscribe my
self, with all due respect your obedien
eryant,
