II. Veil, formerly a member of the firm of W. B.

He has been home to Pennsylvania where he has in vested in mill property and made new home, and is now back on visit.

Village Election.

one week from next Tuesday, Jan. 4th, 1876, according to law, our Village Election will take place, and as very much depends upon the char. acte- and efficiency of the Mayor. Council and marshal in giving vigor and character to the government and growth Of village, town or ci'y, and as ours is now in a transition state, aoout to leave the lower degree and is rapidly approaching the higher, it is a matter of much importance that these offices be filled by first. class men, not only to their business capacity but the Mayor especially should be a man of some dignity, who could if occasion required it entertain distinguished guests whom the people might desire to honor, either for their services in the past or for what We may expect Of them in the future What was a village last year is a town this, and may be city next year, and it is all important that the city government should keep pace with the physical growth of the place
 The retiring Officers have done we'll but refuse With the exception of the Marshal, to allow their names to be used again, and now it becomes a matter of some difficulty to find those who are qualified and at the same time willing to take the offices. Our people approach more nearly to Bulwer's "Coming Race," the Vrillya, than any We have ever known the office emphalically seeks the man and not the man the office.
 Among those whom the people would be pleas cd to have occupy the Mayors chair We have heard the names of John G. Campbell, George D. Kendall, and c. F. Head favorably mentioned, either one of whom would hll the bill admirably if hs can be prevailed upon to accept. For Coun- cilman in the southern part of the city, l..

IRoS AND EAIIS.-zug s Co., at Pits,
Merchant iron and nails, have 4laid of"
entirely. The reason given is, mo money
in the business"
The Pitts, blast furnaces produced
1872 25s tons Of metal in 1874 as against
l5S,sS5i in 1878, OF this the Lucy fur
mace produced 1880 tons.
The furnaces at Ashland, KY, are in
blast The mill Is also in operation, al
ter few days stoppage to take stock.
Tho Pittsburgh Gd-cts says that there
is an improved feeling in business circles
there. 1t also says that there is talk that
the manufacturers and puddlers are
reaching a basis on which work will be
started again.
The Pittsburgh Pot Of the l4th speaks
in very hopeful terms Of the probability
Of an early adjustment between the man
uiacturera and puddlcrs, 1t says that ut
has become pretty generally known that
the proprietors positively will not pay
more than the rates offered during the
conference" II also says that many oil
the puddlsrs are convinced that the
lockout will continue until the wOrkmen
aecede to the reduction or the price oil
iron advances" and in view Of this fact
they are inclined to resume work,
Iron has sold down to $40 cash at Pitts
burgh. Asale Of a thousand tons AT that
figure is reported for sa,urdaylast' The
Manufacturer says that
nProducers generally are holding at
$22 cash, and $23 four months, but We
opine that il would be even more difficult
70 sell at these figures than II would DO to
buy at $40 and $2l, cash and time. The
general position Of the market Is In the
buyers favor and will continue most Ike
ly as long as the lockout continues, but
once Il d ended and the pudding fur
naccs are started up, there will doubtless
bea reaction"
Parties who are now buying iron are
buying 1t on speculution-that is, not be-
cause they need Il for present use, but be-
cause they regard $40 and s2l as "hard
pan" from which there Is almost certain
to be q reaction. In regard to nails, the
Manufacturer remarks ~ follows:
There il no general Improvement TO
note In the nail trade, but II Is hoped and
expected that there will soon be; orders,
II we mistake not, usually commence, to
come forward pretty freely about the lat
tor part Of tho month, and rs stocks both
In the hands Of jobbers and consumers as
we'll, must DO considerably reduced, there
Ia no good reason why this year should DO
an exception, We do not look for orders
TO be as large as usual, as there Is gen.
eral disposition manifested In oil branches
Of business to adhere pretty closely to the
hand.to.mouth policy, but I Is reasonable
10 expect that there will be very fair
business In the aggregate. Prices weak
but unchanged we continue TO quote OF
s. 10, usual time.

Editors IntelllgeneCr;
II seems that the State law on thi'
subject has become 40 displeasing to Ger.
tain citizens Of Wheeling that they have
formally petitioned for its repeal. Blu
have they not overlooked the fact tina
this law l. required BY The Constitution
Article XII, section A Of the Constitution
Is explicit on the subject. It applies L
"all elections for directors or managers o.
incorporated companies" but, Of course
only 10 such Incorporated companies a
hold their charter under the State
National Banks, not being creatures o.
the State, elect their officers according L
the law Of Congress, by which they are
organized, which Is the supreme law Ia
the case; but for corporations created BY
the State, there Is no help in the Iegisla'
ture, and petitions are useless, for II Ii
said In the Consultation: "Suchdlrector'
or managers shall not be elected In any
other manner. As to "ringS," II Is quite
as practicable for majorities to form them
