Political Notes.


There Is suspicion In Alabama that
Congressman Hayes, in his anxiety TO Sc
cure recollection, Is causing serious damage
70 the agricultural interest Of the State. The
Mobile Register says his project to supply
rations for the Inhabitants Of the oyerhowed
districts Of Alabama has completely de-
moralized the negroes, who have abandoned
all work and journeyed, some of them as
fur as Is miles, % get the rations g Guber-
ment' had ordered for them, but which
they did not find The Register Is con-
yinced that, If Mr.. Hayes does not stop
his "electionecring nonsense, lac will ruin
the crops Of the section he is trying to
make votes 10, since it has trustworthy
advice that there is no lack of food for
them. Il therefore beseeches Sensible
men in Congress to put a stopper on the
lips Of this enterprising Hayes, who is so
mtently electioneering on the public money
and at the expense Of our growing crops
Gov. McEnery, Of Louisiana, stated lately
IN private conversation in New York, as
his belief, that at present Senator Thur
man, of Ohio, Is the most eligible eandi-
date for the Democratic Presidential nom
ination in 1876. II may be too early as
yOt to speculate on this matter, but GER
tain il is that the name of Senator Thur
man is held in great favor by the Democ-
racy of the country. No public man in
the nation has better reputation for Of
fetal integrity--and there is none whose
private character is freer from every taint
of suspicion.
The District Of Columbia revelations
ought TO servo as :" frightful example" to

The Morgan Iron Works and Ship Yard.

From pamphlet just published at
Washington, and for which we are indebt-
ed TO Hon. Stevenson Archer, we condense
the following:
Mr., John Roach, native Of Ireland,
is the proprietor of the great ship yard
and iron works at Chester, Pa, on the
Delaware river, rival Of the great iron
ship-building establishments on the Clyde,
where the largest ships of tho English
navy are built. Mr. Roach became pro.
prietor of those shops in October, 1871,
since which time he has enlarged and i'm
proved the works at cost of 81 ,250, 900.
He has built in two years seventeen iron
steam ships, four Of them finished for the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and two
Of them larger and faster than any other
ships in the world. The average number
of workmen is $500 the weekly pay roll
has averaged over $50, 200, for the last
two years; 10000, 900 pounds of iron have
been consumed; 200 tons Of copper, 5000
tons Of coal, and 100000 feet of timber.
There have been paid out for hemp-ropc
and oakum, $4,000; for wiro-rope, S20,-
900 for gas-ftting and plumbing, S40,-
900; for carpeting, oil-cloth, and uphol-
stering, 100000 for iron and brass boiler
tubes, $50, 900 for heavy forgings, $780,
600; and for cabinet work, 5000, 900.
Mr.. Roach's ship yard is equal in capacity
to any in the world. The money it ex-
pends is paid out to all the various indus
tries of the country, aud if the ships built
there were built upon the Clyde, our bonds
and currency would go there to pay for
them, instead of being kept at home to
foster the skin and industry Of our own
mechanics, and to build up our own COM
merce and commercial marine.

Admission of New Mexico.

The House of Representatives, by that
monotonous majority which always appears
when party interests are in question has
passed the bill for the admission Of New.
Mexico into the Union as State, and the
measure now goes before the Senate with
the best prospect Of passage. There is no
reason why New-Mexico should be made
State, except that the Republicans in
Congress see prospect Of making a few
votes in Congress and in the Electoral
College out of it, and few politicians in
the Territory hope TO get the Offices there.
by created. There is no necessity any
where for such action. No one in New
Mexico complains that he suffers in mind
body or estate, by virtue Of the Territorial
condition, except the ofiice-seekcrs, who
would rather live in Washington at tho
national expense than earn their bread
honestly in the Territory. The New
Mexicans are not asking for admission !;
they care nothing, and know nothing,
about the whole intrigue. There are in
Santa Fe few political loafers who want
the Territory made State so that two
may go to the Senate, one to the House,
one may be Governor, and the rest may
divide the State plundcr The intelligent
voting population of the Territory num-
bers only few thousand, The large ma
jority, fve-sixths at least, cannot read or
write, and great proportion of them know
no English, and take no interest whatever
in anything relating to the Government of
the United States. The part of the popu-
lation which asks admission is confined to
those more or less directly interested in
Territorial politics, and his little handful
of politicians, if this scheme goes through
Congress, will send two of their number
to the Senate, to weld an equal vote with
that of the representatives of perhaps four
millions of people.-N T. Tribune.

The Ellicott City Times says;-Au al
tercation in the Fifth District on Tuesday
last between Perry G, Shipley and his d.
yorccd wife and some of her relatives, re-
suited in the shooting of the former by his
wife, the ball lodging in the left elbow and
inaicting very painful wound The diff
ficulty, it is understood, originated in a
dispute concerning Shipleys son. The
Court gave the mother the custody of the
children when granting the divorce, and
Shipley, it is alleged, abducted the lad, aud
on the day in question had him with him
planting corn, when Mrs. Shipley with her
brother and brother-in-law, made her ap-
pcarahee. A fisticuf between Shipley and
the men at once cnsued, in which, it is
said, the former was victorious, when Mrs.
Shipley drew revolver and fred three
shots, the second ball taking effect. A
warrant has been issued upon the oath of
Shipley for the arrest Of his assailants.
Shipley's wound has been twice probcd by
DIR. Kecnc, who has not yet succeeded in
finding the ball, which is embedded some
where near the elbow.

MORE OF IT.-Thc total unftucss of

which Mr.. u. II. lIoar explained MS fol-
lows There was condemnation, in a
Brazilian port, Of Peruvian vessel which
had been insured in New York and Phila-
delphia. The condemnation was unjust.
James Watson Webb, then Minister in
Brazil, had been directed not to press the
claim on Brazil, but while that Govern
ment was involved with Paraguay, aud
just before the departure Of the steamer
for Europe, he informed the Brazilian
Government that be would break off
diplomatic relations unless the claim was
Immediately paid, and the sum of GA, ,252
was paid under protest A draft for
$4,000 was sent to the State Department
as being the entire amount received, and
that amount was invested pending an
investigation. The result wss decision
by this Government that the BRAZILIAN
Government had not been liable in the
first instance, aud that the amount should
be restored with interest and then it was
discovered that the amount paid had been
fl4, 4,252, aud not 9j000 MIR. Webb had
declined to give any explanation, and he
was now abroad, aud not under the juris-
diction Of this Government.

OCEAN RoUTEs,-Congress has under
consideration bill for the establishment

provides that the President shall appoint

States to meet Commissioners appointed
by other maritime nations to decide upon
the routes, and that the President shall no.
tify foreign Powers Of the appointment of
such Commissioner. With steam vessels
travelling within limited paths, and carry
ing electric lights, there should be much
less danger than at present Of fatal acci-

is that it does not provide for enough
