The bankrupt bill, which has been before the
Senate since Monday evening last, has gone over
till Monday, and it is not unlikely that it may
occupy several days of next week. The amend
mcut of Mr.. Thurman proposing to abolish the
office of registers III bankruptcy will uudoubted-
ly fail, as the majority of the Senate will fol-
low the lead of the chairman of the judiciary
committee and oppose it, if for no other rea-
son than that it would turn out Of good Offices
nearly three hundred orthodox republicans.

At an average of 500 per ton in Eogland,
amounting to over eighteen millions of dollars
The time is at baud when there will be no
balance of trade against US 10 railroad iron, and
this eighteen millions or more will go. to open
up our Virginia mines give employment to
our people, and make us independent. Speed
the day This is subject Of vast importance
to our State, and the best ground OF hope tor
her future prosperity, both in town and coun-
try, its relations to all industries being SO lntl-
mate and extensive. The new process for max
ing iron direct FROM the ore, now believed to be
entirely successful, will enable US to build fur
naces at much smaller cost than heretofore,
while ipexhaustible quantities Of ore are to be
had at distance of sixty-one miles from Alex
audria by the Washington and Ohio Railroad,
as well as by the w. e., V. NJ. 4 6. 5. L. K.
Is the day ever to arrive when our own peo-
people will realize the immense importance and
value of this iron interest aud show their faith
by their works?

THE New BRITISH FACTORY Act
On the LIST of January next the new
act, passed in the late session of Par
lament, to improve the health of
children, Dung persons and women
employed in factories, and for the ed
ucation of such children, will come in
to force. BY this act, during next
year, no child is to be employed I'M
der nine, and after that year under
ten, except where he was lawfully
employed before that period. There
are special regulations as to the en-
ployment and refreshment of chill
dren, young persons and women in
factories between 6 A. NJ. and 6 P. NJ,
but no employment is to be beyond
four hours and a half continuously
without a meal, nor any employment
after two on Saturday. The hours
of meals are to be simultaneously for
children, and employment during
meal time is forbidden. Until the lst
of January, 1876, employment for the
recovery of lost time is to be permit
ted, until which time q person of thir-
teen and under fourteen is to be
deemed a child unless an educational
certificate be obtained After the LIST

OBLIGATIONS OF EMPLoYERs.-A
number of silk weavers struck for h.gl-
er wages in William Strange & Co. S
silk mills, Paterson, September Is,
and when they were refused the in
crease of pay they abandoned their
work, leaving unfinished pieces of
silk in the loom The proprietors of
the mills sued fourteen of their mu-
tinous employees for breach of con-
tract. The trial of one of the men
took place on Monday, when the
plaintiffs proved that the weavers had
agreed tie perform certain works at a
stipulated price, and that it was ex-
presslv agreed that weaver should
not, under any pretense except sick
ness, leave an unfinished piece of work
in his loom, and that the defendant,
with some others, had ceased work
without completing his work The
company also showed that they had
sustained loss through this treatment,
and that they had been unable to pro-
cure weavers to finish the work, al
though they had advertised in two
daily newspapers. The jury found
verdict Of $50 damages for plaintiffs.
This case is a test one, and the result
will govern the others.
