Letters from Ohio.
COLUMBUS, ONO, AUGUST 81, 1874.

Mr.. EDITOR Il left home on Nor
day, Aug. Oath, for this city, taking
the train at 2 o'clock P. NJ, and ar
irving at next morning | walked
to the residence of Andrew Roy, State
Inspector of Mines, the gentleman
whom | am visiting. Mr.. Roy was
formerly citizen of Allegany County,
working in the coal mines of Pompey
Smash and Georges Creek. After
partaking of hearty breakfast | ac-
companied Mr.. Roy to the State Capt.
tai and passed with him through the
offices of the various State officials.
| was especially delighted with the
Governors office. Here are seen all
the portraits in oil of the Governors
of the State, commencing with Gen.
st. Clair. The State Library is fine
stitution, containing $4,000 vol
umes. In the centre of the immense
room there were several glass-covered
cases containing a great many curious
and rare articles, among which are
Confederate notes of different values,
Confederate bonds, &C., but the most
interesting thing to me was a manu-
script in the handwriting of Gen.
George Washington as follows
To tie Sheriff efhe County Of Uindham:
SIR-At the urgent solicitation of sever
al of the selcctmen and respectable inhab-
tants of the town of New Rochelle,
hereby authorize you to discharge from Gus
tody Edward Pool, now prisoner and
confined by military order in the Jail of
said County. G. WASHINGTON.
Headquarters, New Windsor Jan. II, 1871
After viewing every object of note
in the State House turned my atten-
ton to the Democratic State Conven-
tion which was being rallied by the STIR
ring notes of a brass band. The hotels
were crowded with delegates from
every county in the State. A great
many prominent men were in the city
The convention opened at half past
10 o'clock A. NJ. The officers to be
nominated were a Secretary of State,
School Commissioners and Judge Of
Supreme Court Gen. Ewing, a man
who lifted his sword in his country S
defence and is ever ready at his coun-
try's call, made brief speech. He
took strong ground against the party
which has Frustrated the business in
terests Of the country by laismanage-
ment of financial affairs. The feel
ing of the convention was in power
full sympathy with him. Gov. Allen
made a few remarks. He is tall,
venerable looking gentleman, 6S
years of age, grey haired but vigorous
in intellect. He stated he had served
his country in the national legislature
for Is years and had left it with his
hands clean of public money. He
was loudly applauded and spoken of
as our next President. He seems to
hold a high place in the hearts of his
people.
Ipropose to visit all public institu-
tons, such as asylums, penitentiary,
&c, of which will give you an &C
count in another letter which will close
my trip. 1propose, Providence per-
hitting, to arrive at home next Mon
day. RANSOM L. POWELL.

Mr.. EDITOR Il propose to write
you a second letter from Ohios capt.
tai, which will conclud my correspon-
dence. On Friday, 2Sth inst, accom-
panied by Miss Jane Watson, my
sister-in-la law, and an inmate of Mr.
Roy's family, and, by the way, ma
tive of old Allegany County, | revisit
ed the capitol and assembled the dome
by long and circuitous stairway,
where we obtained magnificent view
of the city stretched out before IFS.
We next sought the flag room to see
the flags of the Ohio regiments borne
through the late war; most of them
showed evidence of having passed
through many severe struggles, and
not few were stained with the life
blood of their gallant bearers. There
were also number of rebel flags and
other war trophies which had been
captured in battle. One of the flag s
taken from louisiana regiment
bore this motto-"Death before sub
mission.
We next visited the south park at
the end of High Street. This is quite
new place, but will be made very
attractive before long. There We're
two butfalos aseal, number of swans,
prairie wolf, a fox and several other
animals in the park.
After spending pleasant hour, we
went over and were shown through
the Penitentiary, in which are confined
1858 convicts, 10 of whom are fe-
males $50 are in for life, some OF
when have been in for so years,
and one old man for 46 years. The
penitentiary is not a very inviting
place; the men were all busy at
work; they ale not allowed to speak
to each other. Their sleeping cells
are not over two feet wide and six
high. would advise everybody with
evil dispositions to do right, and on
no account get sent to the penitentl-
ary. 1t was here that the fam Gus
rebel guerilla chief, John Morgan,
was confined and broke out.
The Deaf and Dumb Asylum stu
ated in the eastern part of the city on
Town street. was next visited This
is magnificent institution, but Just
now is vacation and l did not have
the pleasure of seeing the mutes at
school. Farther east is the Blind
Asylum, a splendid stone building
at the end of State street. We then
went and saw the Poor House where
there is a child years of age, whose
head measures 80 inches round; it
had dropsy and could not lift nor sus-
tain it's head off the floor it is little
girl and has beautiful features,
We returned to Mr.. Roy's late in
the afternoon after spending the
whole day sightseeing. There is
much more of interest to relate, but
as | am no hand at writing for the
papers / will close. | leave for home
Both at noon. Yours.

Coal AND IRoN.-If any change can
be quoted in the market at all, it must
be noted as showing falling off from
last week. The usual rush during the
last few days of the month to save the
advance announced for the previous
month has not inspired buyers this
month, for which no good reason can
be assigned. All feel confident that
the middle Of September will find the
coal trade in the midst of an active fall
business, as the dry goods and notion
trades and other lines Of business have
already opened with a good fall trade,
and this must in turn set our manufac-
lures in motion. We see no reason to
doubt the conclusion that the coal trade
will sympathize with an Improvement
in other branches of business.
The iron trade continues the same,
as previously reported, and there are
very few signs to confirm dealers in
their hopes for better future. Our
English exchanges are full of reports,
stating business on this side to be very
poomising, but we are sorry to say that
the reality is not as good as they seem
to believe. It's expected generally that
the fall trade will bring better de-
mand and higher prices, but we hard
ly expect to see real active and brisk
trade with revival in prices as long as
stocks in makers hands are SO large.
The import trade has declined in all
kinds of irons, and in rails the import
of this year is less than one-fourth of
that of l672.-Coal and Iron Record
Business in coal does not appear to
have been very great during the week
past; the last ten days Of August were
as dull as the previous three weeks,
quite contrary to the usual state of
affairs during previous months this
year. Stocks appear to be ample both
IN consumers and dealers yards, and
although manufacturing is generally
reported as more active and the pros
poets for the future most hattering,
there is no coal wanted for immediate
consumption. However. it is expected
that the demand in October and No
vember will be quite actiye.-Saward' $
Circular, I'd inst.
EXTRAORDINARY IRON MINES
The Moorefeld West Virginia. Ad-
reatiser states that an extraordinary
deposit of iron has been discovered at
the point where Ketterman's road
crosses Middle Mountain. Several
veins have been opened, all of them of
extraordinary thickness and richness.
The ore is taken out in immense
blocks some weighing three hundred
pounds, which lie wedged completely
together, but are easily separated with
the crow-bar. On the surface these
blocks lie horizontal and cover an area
of one hundred yards in width, and
are miles in length. Beneath the sur
face the blocks stand perpendicular
and in veins of INFESTED thickness,
though known TO be more than thirty
! inches.

the belief this plane can be reached
without capital lowering its pedestal
to labor's height. Both have then
reached the pinnacle of nothingness.
Competition at an end, no loftier
heights to scale, capitalistic aspirations
on all sides must vanish into thin air.
But it is impossible such conditions
can occur the approaches to equality
may, in which event it will be inter-
esting to note whether they will exhib-
it tendencies to the results described ;
whether the leveling ratio will not,
moreover, be wholesale depreciation
on both sides.
The urgency for some sort Of ameli-
grafton Of labor's wrongs seems imper-
alive. Capital by overreaching has
absorbed vast fund not its own, and
is still insatiate. This is done under
laws legislated by both usage and rep
resentative enactment, and so on, the
line Of attack being thickly studded
with towers of strength.
Back of all looms up the battlement
of human selfshness," as old and
stubborn as the race Of men. Here
will the tug Of war ensue. 1t will be
no more content to be "hedged in"
than "exterminated," and will fight
to the death for its time known autoc-
racy. Entrenched in the strongest of
worldly considerations, nothing but
christian regeneration, universally ap-
piled, will upturn the citadel and set
manhood free from it's cursed heritage.
About the time this is consumma-
ted, and not before, the Marriage and
Temperance problems will be solved.
This is why We instituted them as il
Illustrative Of the end of the dispute
between capital and labor.

Your positive man in general is a friend of
