ployed in burning, hauling and storing
the charcoal.
In the various departments of the
work-wood chopping. charcoal burn
ing. mining, hauling, smelling and sn-
perintendIng-there are upwards of q
hundred men employed. The whole
establishment does crsdit to the Com
pany who originally constructed the
works at cost of $125, 900; to the en-
terprise of the present Company, who
are likely to make it successful, and to
the gentlemen who are in charge of the
different departments.
There is little doubt but this Compa-
ny's works will, in reasonable time,
grow to large proportions and prove one
of the valuable institutions of the State.
They are supplying the Oregon Stove
Manufacturing Company. in East Port
land. with their iron, which Company
are making arranP ements to supply the
wants of the State with stoves of su-
peiior quality, that will save $500, 900
from leaving Oregon for this article
alone.
1t will be seen from this that to make
8 tons of pig iron day. takes 1.24S
bushels of coal, 90 tons of ore, 211a tons
limestone and the labor of 100 men, so
or more of whom are engaged in fur
nishing ore and charcoal, stripping both
ground and forest at rate which will
rapidly exhaust the supply Immediately
at hand and add materially to the ex-
pense of transportation. Allowing no.
thing for the timber consumed or for
the ground upon which the ore is dug,
and the daily expense is not less than
$50 for labor and $25 for limestone, to
produce tons of iron. In this county
lherea are inexhausitible ledges of the best
quality of magnetic iron ore which will
yield from so to 80 per cent. Of iron,
with an abundant supply of coal and
limestone cony enient thereto. With a
furnace of the same capacity, requiring
no more men to work it than it does to
work the Oregon furnace, the pro-
duct would be 16 instead of 8 tons
of iron to 20 tons of ore. The cost of
the ore, coal and limestone, which in
Oregon amounts to not less than $18 to
every ton of iron produced, would not
exceed 81 ton here, while tho labor of
smelling but little more than one halt
where the yield of the ore is double and
free from sulphur. If iron can be pro-
fitably produced at $40 ton at the Ore
gon works, it can be more prodtably
produced here at $40 q ton.

Pulpit Topics To-day.

The topics of ministerial thought to-day
are Of practical, q doctrinal and a specula-
tive turn. Among the practical themes is
that chosen by the Rev. MIR. Sweetser on the
Mobility of Serving Humanity" Next to
serving God there can be no service SO noble
as that rendered to our fellow men. Mr..
Sweetser will doubtless suggest various
methods by which the weakest as we'll as the
strongest may render such service. The
themes chosen by DR.. Strong on ''Confessing
Christ and Invitations to Christ" are also
of the practical kind They can be put into
operation every day by every Christian man
and woman. Nothing is harder, and yet
nothing is more important and practical than
for one to keep his temper, especially under
provocation. Mr.. Hepworth will direct at
tention to this topic this evening, and
will probably show us how, even in the
midst Of provocation, we can be calm
and temperate. The subject which just
now receives the greatest share of public
attention-"The Disposal OF Our Dead
will be treated by Mr.. rockingham in his
usual practical way Aud Rev. Joseph F.
Elder will endeavor to dissuade his hearers
from too free indulgence in idle Words"
The very prominent topic of temperance will
be discussed by John b. Cough in Allen
street Methodist Episcopal church this even
ing, and by others in Forsyth street and
Seventeenth street Methodist Episcopal
churches this afternoon. And church exten-
sion and missionary work among the neg
lected masses Of this city will be talked about
by DR.. Reid, Mr.. Terry and others. Here are
themes various enough and practical enough
for all who are that way inclined.
Among the doctrinal themes announced is
that Of the Recognition Of Friends in
Heaven" which Mr.. Hepworth will discuss in
the sorn Of an inquiry. to which he will
probably give an affirmative response, with
the reason for the same. The Gospel View of
Divine Sovereionty In Good and Evil will be

At last we have dispatches from Madrid an
nouncing that the republican troops have
entered Bilbao and that the Carlists have re-
treated from before the city in great disorder.
We are not surprised to learn that intense e1-
element, in consequence, prevails at Madrid.
Since the surrender of Cartagena to General
Dominguez, on the 10Th of January, Bilbao
has commanded the attention of the world.
The surrender of Cartagena made an end of
the Intransigentes, and such was the tone OF
public sentiment that Dominguez, who had
put down the radical rebellion in the South
east, was deemed the man most ft to put down
the royalist rebellion in the North. The Car
lists, however, were too strongly intrenched
in their northern businesses to be easily dis
placed, and Dominguez soon found that he
was not equal to the new situation. Until
the present his successors have had
but little better success. It has long been
known that the whole strength of the
Carlists was concentrated around Bilbao, and
the fact was not concealed that they intended
to make that city memorable in connection
with the restoration OF legitimism and div ne
right. The good people of Bilbao held out
for the government at Madrid. The Carlists
did their best to reduce the city to subsection !;
but the citizens had faith in the national gov
eminent and believed that relief would come
After long and patient waiting, after much
sacrifice and much suffering, the city has been
relieved. The relief of Bilbao must be re-
garded as great triumph to Serrano and the
national government, on the one hand, and q
crushing blow to Carlism on the other Once
more the Carlist cause has gone down. We
do not say that it is killed, but its chances of
final success are now smaller than ever. 1t
will not at all surprise rs to learn in few
days that the principal Carlist leaders have
found their way into France. Now that rebel
lion is presumably ended the next question
will be-the Republic or the Monarchy?

that were to connect the city with West
chester and make the environs like the
suburbs of Paris? 1t requires the
highest courage to drive along Fifth
avenue. and nothing but despair would
induce sane man to ride down Seventh ave-
nue.. New York, below Canal street, is in a
condition of business plethora. In the morn
ing the tides run down, in the evening they
run up. As there is only one. OF perhaps
two, practicable channels progress is at
these times almost impossible. The extension
OF Fifth avenue to the Battery would remedy
all this Even more important is the ques-
ton, we may well say the vital question, of
rapid transit There is not q citizen in this
community who does not know that rapid
transit is an absolute necessity to New York;
that railway conveying passengers from the
Battery to Yonkers or New Rochelle in o half
hour would add untold millions to the value
of property, not to speak Of the COM
fort of living, and the saving in time
to q hundred thousand souls In the
tides of our prosperity and business growth
which should tend towards Westchester,
unnaturally flow to Long Island and New
jersey The smallest boon that the Legislature
could have conferred upon the metropolis
would have been o wise, weIl-matured and
generally accepted plan Of rapid transit There
was no question about the money. All We
wanted was the BILL and all we have is o series
ofcrude and Indifferent bills meaning nothing,
with no usefulness in them and postponing
indefinitely any honest method of speedy
communication between the Battery and West
chester.
Let no one, then, accuse this Legislature of
q want Of system or purpose in its life. Its
members meant to Cypress and neglect New
York, and they have succeeded. When the
war was coming upon us and the skies were
darkened with the shadows of Sumter
gloomy men said our day Of humiliation was
at hand, that grass would grow in the
streets Of New York, while desolation rested
upon the housetops The shadows of Sumter
and the drearier clouds that followed have
lifted, but the prophecy is in fair way
Of fulflment What the armed Confed-
erate or his foreign ally could not do
has been done by our Venerable Statesmen and
their Legislature. Now York is stifed city,
and we have to thank Havemeyer, Green and
company, who, under the pretenOe OF reform,
have only considered their own personal and
selfish ends.

The Religious Press ON tho veees
Several of our religious exchanges this
week have editorial comments on the Presi-
dent veto of the imitation scheme Of Congress.
The Independent reminds its readers OF certain
passages in the first inaugural of the Presi-
dent in which he promised, as far as his judg-
ment led him, to act in harmony with the
public conscience on all questions affecting
the public. The Independent thinks the Presl-
dent could not consistently do otherwise than
veto the Currency bill, which simply turned
all the past pledges of the government into
falsehoods and was the first downward step
toward ultimate Reputation, and the bill
should have been labelled. San act to destroy
public confidence" DO.
The Christian Union considers that the act
OF the President required great GOODNESS and
courage on his part for he knew it would
give offence to many of his most intimate and
trusted political friends, who thought they
had o right to be sure Of his assent to tho
bill The Union is sure that the infationists,
il they take an appeal from the President to
the people, will be utterly routed
The Methodist is glad that we can still hold
up our heads as an honest people, determined
to pay our debts in money as distinguished
from the paper promise of money.
The Evangelist believes that sound policy
and sound morals alike require that Congress
should fulfil the pledge which it hos solemnly
given to the country and the world.
The Observer is jubilant over the veto. We

despair Of the Republic. In view Of the in
evitably evil results that must have followed
further expansion of the currency the country
has cause to congratulate itself upon the faoe
that the President was equal to the emergency
and met the issue fearlessly and wisely.
The Christian Advocate considers that the no

essary continuance long after the return Of
peace and the indefinite postponemeat Of the
return to the only just and equitable system Of
national finances would therefore be wholly
uniustifable, Tnis the vetoed bill did, and tho
Advocate cannot, therefore, do otherwise than
approve the Presidents action.
The Baptist Weekly thinks the President, By
his great veto, has placed himself squarely on
the side Of honesty.
The He@man's Journal strikes stunning
blow this week at all future St Patrick's Day
celebrations by its wholesale condemnation OF
the Ancient Order OF Hibernians, whose mem-
hers compose SO large feature OF those cels-
brations. The Order is . secret one, and
therefore condemned by the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Rcu;eO looks forward hopefully
to the coming of the day of trial for Catholics
in the United States, because it sees the good
and faithful ones in Germany, Austria and
elsewhere suffering persecution.
Our Jewish exchanges are taken up with
purely unconditional subjects.

Waltz is not q gratifying social result not
o fact over which our civilization can especially
boast yet he seems to be an indication. His
uncommonly large brain is the leading point in
his case, speaking psychologicalIy. He had
fifty-four ounces of this mysterious cerebral
pulp, and this quantity indicates the posi-
billy of great intelligence. Murderers gener-
ally, nearer to the animal and impelled by
semi-animsl impulses, have small brains. and
their crime in the vast majority of cases is due
to the fact that their intelligence is insufficient
to contemplate the ultimate results Of q Ger.
tain line of conduct with sufficient clearness !:

with the impression Of the criminal impulse
As the brain improves in the ascending scale
of humanity the motive must be higher to
give to the impulse the strength that over.
powers the controlling faculty. Low down
in human life the very smallest motive Of
cupidity, envy or bad temper is sufficient;
higher up it must be honor or some glorious
temptation of the sort that takes the reason
captive altogether. Yet Waltz had bigger
brain than nine-tenths of the men in Wall
street, and murdered . miserable itinerant
scissors grinder perhaps in mere cupidity. He
seems, in respect to his crime, 10 be on level
with those strange wild beasts of the Bender
family, and yet in his brain he might appar-
entity have been on q level with Fisk. of Erie,
it his early life had taken the trading direc-
ton; while if accident had thrown him into
finance or law he would, perhaps, have been
o magnate in either. But he was without cub
ture altogether-bred only on that semi
religious, semisupersitious food for the mind
which makes it the prey of small decisions
and fears. He driyelled in these. 1t would APP
pear also that in cerebral physiology an
accidental direction may be taken. II acct

and brain once started in the bad direction,
and reaching great development, may become

should increase in volume, but it must inn
prove in the distribution of it's power. Had
Waltz been resident Of this city he would
not have been hanged, probably, but would
have escaped on the plea Of insanity. Fortu-
nateIy, however, he is hanged and well out Of
the way and we doubt not that society, in the
light of such facts rs his crime presents, will
eventually come to the view that it must hang
oil murderers, sane or insane, as it did in the
times before philanthropy was so much Guilt
waited as it has been for some years past. In
such a case if . man is sane he will be justly
hanged for the ordinary reasons, but il he Ia
insane he will be hanged for other reasons
for reasons based upon the right of society to
destroy any life or exterminate any species tho

and which cannot be brought to comprehend

A LEGISLATIVE MIDDLE. Consolida-
ton act although drawn by Charles O Conor,
was found after its passage to be imperfect
An explanatory act was required to make it
constitutional; for, as originally passed, the
law made no provision for the Assembly dis
trict appointments and for the election or
appointment of constitutional county officers.
After this explanatory act had been passed it
was suddenly discovered that the patronage
in the county buildings, &C., heretofore en-
joyed by the Supervisors, passed to the Com
missioner of Public Works. Upon this dis
covery the venerable Mayor hobbled about his
Office in o furious rage, and Comptroller
Green rushed to Albany as fast as steam would
carry him. Another explanatory act" was
introduced in the Legislature, vesting all this
patronage in the Mayor and Comptroller.
But this latter bill was defeated, and SO the
patronage goes to the Public Works Depart
ment 'Its ON i'll wind that blows nobody
good"

TIE Political OUTLOOK IN NEW YoRK.--
The adjournment of the Legislature has
been the signal for the movement of the
political leaders, wirepullers and oface-seekers
to set their various balls in motion for the No
vember election, and we give in to-day 8
HERALD sketch OF their plans intrigues and
gossip. There is every indication of sharp
contest over the Mayoralty, and already
rumors are rife Of o division in the
democratic ranks and of two democratic
nominations for Mayor. These rumors,
however, come mainly from republican
sources, and while there will, no doubt, be
hard fighting among the unterrifed until the
nominations are made, the probability is that
all will wheel into line as soon as that cere-
mony has been performed.
