iron brought about $50 per ton. The
Whig tariff of AZ induced the construc-
ton of furnaces in Pennsylvania and
Ohio, and that article was reduced to $36
per ton, on about which figure it stood
steadily while the Whig tariff existed, but
soon after it was repealed the price of
iron went up, up, up, till it again reached
$56@$60 per ton, where it remained for
about Is years, and was only abolished
by the necessities of the war of 1861.
In the mean time, the abolition of the
Whig and creation of the Democratic
tariff, caused the loss to the furnace men
of every one of the millions of dollars
invested in the furnaces and machinery
for the manufacture of iron.
You know that these things are so, but
hundreds of young men, just coming to
their majority do not, and l beg you will
rightly inform them upon this subject. so

Poor Excuses.


Poor Richard used to say that "tbey
who are good at making excuses are good
at nethingelse." If we apply this maxim to
the late Congress, it will prove to have been
composed of a more good-for-nothing set
of men than anybody has ever yet ven
tured to charge against it. The few
members who have not risen to explain
their action upon various measures, and
particularly upon the back pay business,
either have not taken the money and
are unusual instances of public virtue,
or have taken it and are too thickly en-
crusted to the darts of public criticism.
The latest excuses are by two Demo
cratic Congressman, Mr. William E. Nib
lack, of Indiana, and Mr.. l.. D. Campbell,
of Ohio. Both of these excuses are
unique and have the merit of what might
be called Original sin" that is to say,
they do not rely for strength upon the
ordinary arguments, but go straight to
the foundation of things Thus Mr.. Nib
lack takes the money because it is ac-
cording to the law, upon the principle
that money once voted by Congress for
for any purposes, however bad, must be
used for that purpose, else the law, and
consequently the Constitution also, is
violated. Mr.. Niblack voted against the
plunder, but as the plunder is divided by
law, he must become plunderer. He
He is strict constructionist, and there
is no getting away from his conclusion.
Mr. Campbelfs excuse is different, but
no less interesting. He tries to delude
himself and his constituents with the
idea that he has not taken the money,
although it-still- remains to his order.
makes q great deal of noise over the
sacrifice he suffered in opposing the rob-
berry, and finally concludes, If we inter
pret his language correctly, that he does
not know what should be done with his
part He has not, perhaps, heard that
the United States Treasury is always
open to the conscience fund. At any
rate, he will keep the money under his
control, although protesting that he
hasn't taken it, until he finds somebody
who is more entitled to it than himself
Mr. Campbell should offer reward for
the discovery of the individual for whom
he processes to be in search, and then
the little farce would be complete.
A Republican journal reminds us that
every Democratic Congressman from
Ohio, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Kentucky,
New Hampshire and Michigan has taken
the back pay. Why did it not go furth-
er and say that every Democrat from all
the Southern States has taken it2 1t was
moved by a tender regard for the feelings
of its friends There is only one point
on which the quarrelling Southern poll
tioians and Congressman are cordially
united, and that is in support of this le-
galized robbery. 1t may be taken for
granted that every Senator and Congress-
man who, up to this time has not re-
turned the back pay to the Treasury does
not intend to do so, and is an accessory
in the orime.-N. I. Eoc''iI,g Post.

whole of the South, seven or eight hun
dred thousand strong, the cost. nay, the
interest of which would take the best
farms from under your feet. And this
would not be the greatest evil should
they succeed. Here are four millions of
negroes, they have hitherto been kept on
that side of the line, merely because they
couldn't come this side of it. If the Abo-
lition party succeeds all we have to do
will be to make our preparations to go
where breadstuffs are cheap, and go from
the region towards which the negro gray

They will occupy the place left vacant by

They commence bringing in the niger

with those people for voting the Demo
cratic ticket, though that is great rea-
son, but will tell you, my friends, if this

our government, in breaking up the State

often meet him in my walk,
His cOuntenance is sad;
a mournful tremor hath his talk,
And poorly is he clad.
He seemeth to have lost his way
And have no settled plan;
Upon life's currents gone aStray-
A wrecked, deserted man.
Time was when he had home and friends,
And knew not want or care;
Now poverty each step attends,
And hauntS him everywhere.
That home his creditors have sold;
He feels the social ban;
Broken, and prematurely old
A disappointed man.
OF honor he did nothing lose,
Loves law he did cbers
Why should old friends so often choose
To look another way?
For him no secret -spoils remained,
Upon the modern plan;
His head might err, his heart unstained-
An unsuccessful man.
And still he seeks the crowded mart,
From force of habit strong,
And carries round a heavy heart
That will not beat for long.
With wistful look, he oft doth try
Some friendly face to scan;
But recognition all deny
This melancholy man.
And whence he comes and where he goes
The world takes little heed;
Credit, that with his fortunes rose,
Has sunk in time of need.
Will not benevOlence provide
Some 'Refuge HarbOr'' plan,
And bring in, on favoring tide,
The stranded merchant man?

The speaker began:
Three years ago this country was free
the country was prosperous, and over
every acre of its soil there prevailed law
and order, peace and happiness. And
then after few more Introductory re-
marks in keeping with the first sentence
uttered, he continued. Instead of the
security which this (peace) gave, and
which was enjoyed by every citizen, we
are now endangered for no other crime
than for our opinions to have our houses
entered at midnight by armed men, and
our people taken off to be tried-not be-
fore jury, but before military inquisi-
ton, and for the crime of thinking and
condemned to exile.
Now what do they (the North) want to
dol They want to bring the negroes
back to the North, to make room for
him, to send as many white men of our
people as they can to the war; to be
killed. Now, my friends, never justi-
fed this rebellion, nor did l ever Justify
the intermeddling spirit that gave being
to this rebellion. These abolitionists say
slavery is the cause of the war; say it
is not. They say slavery ought to be ex-
terminated; | say it ought not. [Cheers.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Nov. l. The details
of the butchery of Capt. Fry and the
crew of the Virginius have excited in
tense indignation among the people in
this section against the Spanish power
in Cuba. Swift and decisive action is
looked for on the part of the Admins
tration. The general opinion is that
American citizens and interests must be
protected even though Spain should
lose Cuba. Several Southern papers
think that the government would be
justified in declaring war against Spain.

that it is not possible for the United
States Government to make any de-
mand on Spain in consequence of these
proceedings. 1t argues that the great
majority of the American people want
to see the Spanish Republic united and
successful. President Grant and his
advisers know this and are not likely to
imperil the hopes of republicanism in
Spain by precipitating commo-
ton abroad when internal troubles de-
mand all her strength.
WASHINGTON, Nov II. Three iron
clads, mounting six fifteen-inch turret
guns, will leave for Cuban waters by
Monday. Fourteen men of-war, carry
ing two hundred and ten guns, are rap
idly being made ready, aud ten Of them,
carrying one hundred and nine guns,
can sail within a week. Four more will
be ready within twenty days. The
Miantonomoh, an iron-clad, will be
ready also within that time. There are
eight iron-clads at New Orleans carry
ing twenty two heavy guns, which will
be made ready us soon as possible.
Great reticence is maintained at the
navy department in regard to torpedo
boats, but work has been ordered to be
pushed as fast as possible upon them,
and at l. asst two OF three can be made
ready within very short time.
Admiral Porter says that our torpedo
fleet in the event of war with Spain will
alone be able to demolish all the iron
clads that that nation can send across
tho Atlantic. The naval officers here
are jubilant, and express the hope that
they will have an opportunity to show
the naughty Spaniards what American
seamen can do. They resent the state.
ment authorized by Secretary Fish that
our navy is inferior to that of Spain.
They say the number of ships and guns
are against Us, but in seamanship and
fighting qualities we are far ahead of
them, and with Cuba so close to our
shores all our monitors can be used
