The fact is the crown of supremacy
has passed forever from England in
the business of making iron. We have
read with much interest, IN several
Northern papers, extracts on the ad.
vantages of making iron there and In
this district. Many of these articles
are from English correspondents; and
we have yet to see single article that
draws any unfavorable comparisons
against us, with one exception, and
that is In the item Of trans
portation. Nearly all speak of this,
and raise the objection against Us,
and how far this is true We must leave
the owners of our leading transporta-
ton lines to judge. We think, how
ever, much has been done lately by them
to encourage the capitalists in invest
ing their money among u.s. So far as
we have been able to learn, the cost Of
transporting ton of iron or the ma
teriaI necessary for its production has
been reduced about one half IN the last
two or three years, and the cost per ton
per mile viii now compare favOrably,
with one or two exceptions, with any
roads in the North. The opening of
the Muscle Shoals, securing consfn-
uous navigation to the Ohio river,
which can not be far off, viii
open a new era In our section
in the way Ct transporting heavy ma
terial. The Government is now at work
in earnest with large force, and while
the undertaking is a very heavy one,
the expenditure Is fully justified in the
great benefits that must accrue to the
finest section of country in the entire
Union. The early completion Of the
Cincinnati Southern Railroad viii open
up another independent outlet TO our
section, and we are justified In saying
that in less than five years there is not
a section Of count y in the United
States that will have greater facilities
for gett ng to market than ours, and
that at the minimum figure enjoyed by
any other section.

a BUNKER HILL BATTLE OVER a
COPYRIGHT.
New York Times, June ls

James L. OsgOOd & Co., Of Boston, who
recently published in the Bunker Hill
Memorial the poem by Oliver Wendell
Holmes, entitled ''GrandmOther's Story of
Bunker Hill Battle, as she saw it from the
Belfry," filed bill in equity yesterday in

cult Court for the Southern District of New
Y Ork against Frank Leslie and the Ameri-
can News Company, to restrain them from

eral prosperity, a panic in England
would not mean actual loss, but read
justment of values. The comparatively
recent and rapid introduction Of steam
on land aud sea has afforded extraordi-
nary facilities for aceumulating sudden
fortunes by those nations and individu-
ais which we're first to utilize this new
power in commerce. But as other ma
tons come to use it al-o, the opportuni-
ties for profit decrease with compe-
tition, and it is only question of time
when men viii have to be content with
the modest earnings of the olden era.
A whole world without railroads made
US all equals once; a whole world rami-
fed with railroads viii make US equals
again. 1t is only during the transit
ton state that enormous profits and
fortunes echpsing Crpsus, are possible.
Some think the equilibrium is already
almost restored among civilized ma
tons. If 50, panic in England, which
has led the van of progress, is inevita-
bic, and the American farmer, mer.
chant, mechanic and laborer, may as
well anticipate an early readjustment
of the prices of living on some basis
approximating that Of the last genera
ton.

THE Trustees of st. Mary's Free
Hospital, in New York, have devised a
novel and interesting method for
raising funds to erect a new building.
A large number Of handsome cards,
about the length and breadth Of an or
binary brick, have been issued, which
are sold at prices ranging from five
cents to S., according to the number
of "bricks" in the new building which
the purchaser wishes to contribute.
Each card bears the signature of Bishop
Potter and Miss Ellen Kemble Treas
urer, and is a certificate that the owner
has laid SO many brick on the now
rising structure.

AMEN TO THAT sENTImENIl

The beauty, purpose, and glory Of
these Centennial celebrations, In which
there is no North, no South, no East,
no West, are dawning upon the nation.
The sun which rose so brightly Thurs
day OF Bunker Hill will reach its noon
day spiendor in 1876. Instead of a few
scattered regiments from a half dozen
States, the armies Of the Union will
then march through our streets, and
the hosts of the dead who, whether a
hundred or ten years ago, gave the last
full measure of devotion for the cause
they held holy, viii be with them in
the spir.t-the spirit of Union and lib
erty Forever.

COUNTY TAXATION OF RAILROADS.
In the United States Supreme Court
last Thursday, Justice Davis delivered
an opinion that may prove Of local In
terest. The case was that of David
Bailey ct ais. Us. the Missouri Pacific
Railroad, Constantine Mcguire ct al,
appealed from the Federal Circuit Court
for the Eastern District of Missouri.
This was a suit in equity brought by
foreign stockholders to restrain the
collection Of certain taxes in St. Louis
county, assessed against the railroad
by the County Assessors, the complaint
ants holding that the company was ex-
empt from all taxation except a State
tax, to be ascertained and paid in par
ticular manner. This exemption was
claimed under a State law of 1852,
which provided that the road should be
exempt from taxation until completed,
after which it should be taxed by the
State at the same rate as other real and
personal property. This, it was claim
ed, covered the whole subject of taxa
ton, excluding all other except State
taxes, and furnishing the only authori-
ty for imposing on the road any tax
whatever. The opinion of Justice
Davis is quite elaborate, entering into
the various consequences that would
result from such a construction of the
Missouri law, and concludes that, not
withstanding the peculiarities of the
case. the claim of exemption from local
taxation cannot be sustained.

THAT morning and evening trains
may be run from great commercial or
industrial centress for distances of
from ten to twenty miles at rates al
most incredibly low without loss to the
roads, seems to be established by the
experiment made in England and sue
cessfully followed in this country By
the Eastern RAILROAD at Boston, not to
speak Of the less decisive example Of
the Reading road at Philadelphia.
London trains convey passengers to
similar distances and back for two
pence.

OCCASIONALLY the official cor
respOndence of the Washington De-
partments is enlivened with bursts of
genuine humor. A few days since the
following letter was received at the
Treasury from the cashier of a country
bank, who wished a lot Of United
States bonds exchang ed into some reg.
istered series:
I may not have expressed myself
properly, not knowing much about the
businessof swapping bonds, but my in
tentlOns are pure and innocent. / wish
to have these bonds in UGH a condition
that, when a burglar comes to my room
at midnight, puts pistol to my head,
twists my nose, and takes me By each
ear, and leads NE to my bank, and CON-
pels me to unlock my safe, I can con-
template the removal Of my bonds with
a smile that is childGke and bland.

WHERE ENGLAND COR THE GAR.

The cable tells us that the proposed
alliance between Russia and England
fell through because the latter power
suggested that Central Asia should be
admitted into the pale of international
law, a very plausible proposition, to
which Russia, however, could not as.
sent. a circumstance that renders the
refusal the more remarkable is the fact
that for two years past Russia has
been busying herself wonderfully In a
professed attempt to perfect and ex-
tend the code of international law.
She took the lead in the Brussels
conference, and an adjourned session
Of the International Congress is soon
to be held in her capital, st. Peters
burg. 1t viii be remembered, also,
that England was the only power that
looked askance at Russia's efforts to
make all the nations amenable to law,
and declined to subscribe to the Code
partially agreed upon at Brussels.
When it comes to the test of action,
however, England proposes an extern
sion of the International Code, and
Russia is the first to dissent. Evil
IDENTIFY it is not safe to judge these
great Bmperors by their professions.

The Chicago Times makes a lengthy
exhibit Of the manufacturing industries
of that city, with statistical tables
showing their condition before the
panic and the great fire. Some branch
es present evidences Of unusual activi-
ty, while others are still held firmly in
the grasp Of hard times, but the aver
age is nearly equal TO the most pros
porous era Of Chicago industry. One
curious difference, however, is noted,
namely, that while the demand for
most articles is as good as ever, the
profits are not near s. great as in for
mer times.

The Prohibitionists of Pennsylvania,
who are Just now highly indignant at
tae repeal of the local option law In
that State, held a convention IN Har-
risburg on Wednesday, in order to
make nominations for Governor and
State Treasurer. The convention,
which included delegates from all parts
of the State, passed resolutions de-
nouncing both the Republican and
Democratic parties, and declaring that,
to establish liquor prohibition as the
policy Of the State, 1t is necessary that
the legislative, executive and Judicial
departments of the Government should
be in the hands OF its friends. DR.. R.
A. Brown was nominated orGoTernor,
and E. F. Pennypacker for Treasurer.
The supporters of this ticket predict
large vote for their candidate, especially
in the western part of the State.

THE opinion is prevalent that pass
ports are not now requisite for stran-

required to prove their identity when

vide themselves with passports before

We see it stated that the business
transacted by New York spectators in
futures, since Sep. l, 1874, aggregates
$751;, $50 bales, against 8 ,409,70 bales,
as the total receipts at the ports for
the same time. This fact alone shows
the character Of the gambling done in
the great staple, a feature more mis-
chievous to commercial interests than
any other that can be named,
since it gives a false idea Of the mar
ket, and compels a surging IN prices
that cannot but be attended with loss
to all who have to buy the staple for
manufacturing purposes.

assume for the benefit Of their stock
holders A service which yields from

business successfully, and the recent
heavy losses Of the various railroad
corporations by reduction of freights'
