THE IRON INTEREST The Baltimore Sun
has colla.ed the following facts upon subject
of the utmost importance TO the people of this
State, and establishes conclusions we'll calcuat-
ed to make strong impression upon the minds
OF considerate men who are engaged In the pro-
duc.ion of iron 1.-The Secretary of the Am
ercan Iron and Steel Association, James Nj.
Swank, of Philadelphia, has just completed ac-
curate statistics of the production Of pig,iron
in the United States during the year 1874.
The figures he gives will surprise the public
aud startle the iron-masters themselves, tor
they show production almost as great as that
of previous years, and contradict the universal
ly received opinion that the trade is at SO low
an ebb as 10 be on the brink of ruin. Mr.
Swapk's statistics are made up from full re-
ports from all the furnaces 10 the country and
must be accepted as conclusive. The total pro-
duction of pig metal in 1874 was 2,6S9,4l3 net
TONS against 2,S6S, 27S net tons 10 1873, and
1854, 558 net tons 10 1872, showing decrease
of It's, 865 tons as compared with 1878, and of
only l65, l56 tons as compared with the pros
porous year of 1872 This year the general
prospect is not so good 1913 out of70l furnaces

In publishing the deed for negro girl from
Geu. Putnam to John Payson, Of Connecticut,
which appeared in the Gazette few days
since, the Warrenton Index says: 1.-The above
named John Payson was doubtless the father
or grandfather of Joshua P. Payson, native
of Pomfret and graduate Of Yale, who taught
in the Academy at Warrentou 10 1919, aud
manifested no more respect for the slaves who
served him at his boarding house than any
other gentleman accustomed to the institution
from childhood After j. P. Payson had
taught here fifteen months he returned to Con-
necticut, studied divinity, and, it is believed,
became a preacher Of the Congregationalist
church. Some OF our older citizens cherish a
kind remembrance of him, and are under the
impression he died within the past year or two.
A relative of his named Mr.. John Payson VIII
liston, also from Connecticut, taught school in
Fauquier county year or so after 1919. Both
gentlemen we're good classical scholars. Mr.
Payson's highest charge for tuition the scho-
lastic year, which embraced eleven months
was ten pounds, or thirty.three and onc-tbird
dollars"

Flrz. LEE IN BosToN.-The reception to
Gen. Fi,z Lee in Boston. says the Richmond
Wing, was splendid tribute to the memory
of the late great Virgiuian whose pane he
bears and whose blood is in his veins, beauti-
tul compliment to Fitz. Lee, himself, and an
honor to the Old Dominion aud to all the
South which will ever be held gratefully 10 the
hearts Of our people. The men who fought for
the Union on the one side, and the men who
fought for the Confederate cause Cd the other
side, are after all the truest and safest recon-
structors. Fitz. Lee in Boston, bearing Wiz.
giuia's Offering of national patriotism and
Southern goodwill to the North to be laid on
the altar of the Union at Bunker Hill, and re-
ceived with shouts of joy as he has been, is
truly typical of genuine reconciliation of the
best and bravest of both sections.

The result of the conference between the
representatives of the Baltimore and Ohio and
Pennsylvania Companies 10 Philadelphia Oh
Saturday is that the rates of western bound
freights will be advanced at once, but not to
the figures prevailing before the war, although
a further increase may be expected within a
few days. There will be no immediate change
10 passenger tariffs from the existing rates, be.
cause the results of the conference on this ques-
ton are yet to be submitted to the Baltimore
aud Ohio officials for approval. II is an OBJ
ject, however, to put up the passenger rates as
soon as the conflicting interests can be recon-
ciled, and such contamination is likely to be
reached before the end of the week.

"Mr. Mayor: | have but very few words to say.

thiuk We have had enough speeches and fully
understand everything, but unite with these
gentlemen in thanking you, in thanking the
city of Boston and its vicinity through you for
this very cordial and gratifying reception which
we have met here. We expected to be the re-
cipients of some little civity at the hands of
the gentlemen Of Boston, even those who diff
fered most widely with Us, but We we're not
prepared to meet with this enthusiastic and
splendid demonstration which we have witness
ed at your hands. We will return to Virginia
and we will tell those people that they should
come here and see for themselves, as we have
seen, the people of Boston, and they will feel
as We feel that this is a great country, and We
form part oft. thank you most sincerely,
