ScR1BNER FOR JANUARY.-" New York
in the Revolution " is the leading illustrated
paper in Scribner for January, and will pro-
badly surprise all but genuine old Knicker-
bockers, on account of its bringing to light
a number of Revolutionary scenes and local
tiles, about which little or nothing is popu-
larly known. Mr.. Scudder's story of ''C Gu
pid and Mars" on the other hand, gives a
good idea of life in Boston during the siege
and of Christmas hundred years ago. The
first installment of series of Revolution
airy letters appears in this number; and
there is a glimpse of General Washington
by hearsay-in the opening installment
of Edward Everett Hale's serial story of
Philip Nolan's Friends, or Show your
Passports" This story is to run through
the year, and is an historical romance of
the Mississippi Valley. There is some
thing about Christmas in the New York
article, as well as in Mr.. Scudder's story,
and we have besides, poem entitled "The
Kings Christmas, with illustrations. Mr..
Clarence Cook illustrated papers on house
furnishing are resumed in this number. and

THE ATTORNEY GENERALsHIP.

On TIA, >iay last the Court Of Appeals
delivered its opinion in the case of 5. Teackle
Wallis e. Cbas j. NJ Gwinn, whereby it
virtually decided that even against the most
palpable and unblushing fraud committed
at an election for Attorney General of the
State, the people Of Maryland have, under
the existing laws and Constitution, no REM
edy whatever. That honorable Court is
composed of men of high ability and fair
standing, but we must confess that we are
curious to learn upon what grounds it rests
its opinion that the provision of the Consti
tuition which expressly declares that sit
shall be the duty of the Governor to decide
on the election and qualification of the per-
son ret,trned," simply means that it shall
not be the duty of the Governor SO to de-
eide. We are anxious to know by what
process of deduction such a conclusion can
be arrived at, and by what system of logic
such a result as the Court has given us can
be obtained. We are somewhat acquainted
with the difficulties attending the interpre-
tation of language, and the embarrassments
which Courts of law encounter in placing
the proper construction upon indefinite
phraseology, but it has been left to the
legal gentlemen at Annapolis to say that a
positive, affirmative proposition, couched
in the plainest terms, is no more nor less
than negative provision. Independent of
the rights involved in the matter, we desire
to see the full text of the opinion in order
to study the course Of reasoning by which
the Court sustains it's extraordinary deci-
sion. In the absence of information upon
the point, We imagine that it will prove
another evidence of the versatility of mind,
and the power of the law in showing how
"not to do it," and we think we are safe
in recommending it, beforehand, to all stu
dents of the wonderful. We shall refrain
from further comment at this, and shall
await in suspense and with considerable
curiosity the publication of the whole
opinion.

the absurd idea that there will be an

Concert, let him remember that Mr..

dorses the promise of Gov Bramlette,
the former one, that if the concert does
not take place at the time specified,
the money will be refunded at once to
the ticket-holders. Let him further
observe that Mr.. Briggs has secured,
of course at an enormous expense, the
services of Gilmore, the greatest leader
in America, with his orchestra of 100
select performers, who will conclude
the series of concerts with such burst
of harmony as has never before awak-
ened our Western homes. And, by the
way, let him also remember that if he
does not possess at least coupon ticket,
this music will never reach his ears.

THE OREGON IRON INDUSTRY.

The Oswego Iron Works are located
on the Willamette river. six miles above
Portland, and are under the manage
mant OF company, of which M. Bur-
rel is President, P. G. Schuyler, Secre-
tary, and A. j. Rost, Foundryman.
There is blast furnace of q capacity of
about ten tons per day. The works,
including land at the site of furnace,
water-power and the ore beds, cost
$3.50, 900. The ore used is II kidney or
bog ore, kind of brown hemetite, and
one bed yields an ore resembling the
black oxide of iron, but it has no mag
netic quantities. The ore beds are To-
Gated mile from the furnace and con-
tain the ore in irregular pockets with no
defined vein or ledge. 1t requires about
two and half tons of ore to produce
one ton of pig iron, sometimes little
more, costing SO Is per ton for mining
and So for hauling to the furnace. The
fuel used is charcoal burned in the i'm
mediate vicinity, and costing, delivered,
8 cents per bushel. A hot blast is
used, the power being obtained from o
turbine water wheel. The water power
is extensive and fine, and is derived
from long, narrow lake extending back
into the hills near to the Tualitan river.
The iron produced is of an unusually
fine quality, being more free from car
bon than ordinary iron, and is thus
very tenacious and tough. 1t is con-
sidered by good judges to be superior
to Scotch pig OF Salisbury Conn. iron.
The Central Pacific Railroad have tested
it for car wheels, and have purchased
$50 tons for that purpose. The charges
are put in every half hour in about the
following proportions: Thirty bushels
of charcoal, 1000 pounds of ore, 100
pounds limestone. The flux used is O
limestone obtained from San Juan Is
lands, Puget Sound, there being no
other limestone near to the works.
This is brought by schooners to Taco
ma, thence over the Northern Pacific
Railroad to Kalama, whence it is car
ried by steamer to Oswego, The lime
stone is the largest item of cost. The
cost per ton of manufacturing the iron
is about as follows:
Iron ore at furnace ...................Sl $40 rs
Charcoal, $50 bushels at 8 cts. ........... 10 so
Limestone, 500 pounds. ................ 90
Superintendent and labor. .,........... 90
Total cost per ton. ..................... sss IS
During 1874, the entire export of
this iron from Oregon to San Francisco
amounted to ,404 tons. It is spoken
of very highly, and is said to be i'm
proving in quality. The market price
in San Francisco is now high, but the
average for the past twelve months has
been $50 per ton; leaving a very hand
some profit to the enterprising mine
owners. -ITibune
