A LIBERAL OFFER. In order to induce the
rapid collection of the iron ores of East and
West Virginia, Prot. Brltton, of the Iron
Masters Laboratory, Philadelphia, gentle
man whose public spirit is not bounded by
State lines, makes the following liberal offer to
the Mineral Bureau:
Mr. ". F. Spottsa0ood, Superintendent of the
Virginia mineral Bureau:
Dear Slr: This laboratory will aid. It will
determine the quantity o; IRON in each Of the
samples OF iron ere received and displayed at
the bureau In the interval between the first of
last September and the first OF next January
without charge. The mineral for analysis should
be IN powder and each parcel numbered to de.
signste it, and sent here Ms soon rs possible.
Respectfully, yours, &C.,
j. BLoDGET BRITToN
When 1t is remembered that from FIVE to
ten dollars is the ordluary charge at most labo.
ratores Tor each iron determination the lull
pecunlary value of the offer becomes apparent,
while MIR. Brtton' high reputation as a metal
urglcal chemist is too wei! known to REQUIRE
comment.
Samples Of all the iron ores DOW on exhibit
ton at the Bureau will be immediately for.
warded to Philadelphia, and persons having
avail themselves OF this opportunity at once.
1t may be stated iu this connection that the
Baltimore and OHIO railway has recently been

THEN NATIONAL COTTON EXCHANGE
AND THE SOUTHERN TRANS
CONTINENTAL RAILWAY.

The Nnc orleans PicaypRc in IN
able article on the resolutions Of the
National Cotton Exchange, recon-
monding the loan Of the credit OF
tho Government TO aid in the COM
pletion Of tho Texas and Pacific
railway, says;
Judging from the promplllude ana
unanimity with which the action OF
the Convention has been opposed by
some of our Northern exchanges, II IL
not unreasonable to suppose lhht me
subject IL "nOt unConnGCtod' WIN the
Central Pacific monopoly.
The South phys its portion OF the
taxes which contributed to the luild'
ing of that line, and bears its share
of the loss resulting from the en-
travaganCe and fraud attending lts
construction; but most Of the benelllS
of the connection are beyond our
reach. Now that the North Is III illl
possession of these advantages, 1t
comes with rather an Ill grace from
Northern journals to reject without
consideration II proposition to assist II
Southern line, particularly when that
proposition coutcmplates no loss to
the Government. Perhaps the main
reason why Colonel Scott needs the
guarantee of the interest from the
Government TO enable him to negotiate
the bonds, il the discredit attached
to American railroad borrowers
in EurOpe-a discredt to
which the management of the Central
Pacific road has largely contributed.
The Texas Pacific road, if completed,
will open n trans-continental line
much shorter than the Central Pacific,
through a rich section. 1t will not,
like thnt line, be subject TO dangers
and interruptions from ice and snow
for several months Of the year. 1t will
bring the cotton States of the Gulf and
Atlantic seabOurd into close business
relations and regular, uninterrupted
communication with the cities and peO-
pie OF the Pacific coast. And in prOmOt-
ing the development and prosperity OF
the South and Southwest, it will con-
tribute to the wealth OF the nation. 1t
Is u poor and narrow-minded policy
which seeks to keep one section OF the
country in state of commercial vas
saluge to the other. We do not grudge
the money which has been expended,
and the wealth that has been sqnan-
dered upon the Central Pacific road, If,
in the end, the road contribute TO the
good of the whole people. We do not
ask the representatives of that people
even for share of the public bounty
which has been so layishly bestowed
upon the Northern enterprise. Even
the bare credit which is asked for will
be secured against the contingency OF
loss" The request Is entitled to the
consideration of Congress, because 1t is
founded upon the wants of the people
aud the business interests of the coun-
try.

reveuue and Steinbergcr VIII GER
tninly take care to collect it, The mys-
terry of these proceedings has puzzled
the curious very much, ana some have
seen IN them the symptoms OF deep
political intrigue. The truth IL that
5tcinbprg was sent away in this style
TO yet rid of him. He Is an old army
officer, and was n quHrtcrnlastcr, or
something Of that sort, out on the
Pacific coast when Snm Grant, ~
S;tcinberger still likes to call him, was
sent out there twenty odd years ago.
He il very talkRtivc fellow, knows u
lot of stories about Sam, ANA tells them
with dramatic effect One Of his IA
vorite narratives is how SAM had the
deirium trcmens going down the Co
lumbia river, and Jumped overheard
from the steamboat TO swim ashore, II
mile or 50 away, and was flshed out
with difficulty. OF course such stories
as these are not agreeable to our hon
0red President, and Steinberger, whom
he once loved, became bore and ter
ror. This feeling was heightened con-
siderably by the fact that Steinberger
was given to intimating ut certain
times that he was still the holder Of Il
pecuniary obligation for about seven
hundred hundred and fifty dollars OF
money lent to Sam Grant in those
early days, aud which would now
amount to neat little sum II II were
to be paid, principal and interest. No
patriot can deny that these facts at-
ford sufficient reason for getting rid
of Steinbcrger, and for sending him OIL
to the South Seas in II Government
vessel. The chance is that he will
presently be killed and eaten by the
people he has undertaken to govern
and that will be the end of old SCeiber'
ger and of Sam Grants aillictiOn.
Tho above may all BIO true, cX'
ccpt tho statement that Stcinbcrgcl
was an army officer. He noyor had
that honor, unless being Il member
Of some Generals volunteer staff
during the war, brought him within
that category,

A ship load OF convicts of the worst
class leaves France this week for New
Caledonia More than year ago the
terrible institution of the galeys at
Toulon was abolished, and transporta-
ton substituted ~ punishment in
stead. More humane certainly, and
possibly more ellicacious, NJ it gives
the crimidal II chance for reformation,
and of thriving by honest industry.
Among the gang of murdercrs and
torgers who are to be sent Off in day
or two, there Is one who confidently
expects to become the tenor singer Of
the theatre of Ncumeo, while another
congratulates himself on being Il baker
10y trade, and therefore likely to get on
well in his new sphere.
The crimes of which these wretches
have been guilty Of are mainly
of the most atrocious character,
nearly all of them being murder
ers. One of them, II respectabe-look-
ing man named Brest, was found gull
ty of having put his own little daughter
to death by holding her down on red
hot stove until she was literally roasted.
There seems to be something radically
wrong in French law when the miser-
able Communists were put TO death by
hundreds, while the life of such an
atrocious ilend us that could be judi
ciously spared. A shlpload otwomen,
selected from the different reiormatory

A BEAST or PREY.

As is well known, Ben. ButIcr is
II grccnbacE nlationist, and OF late
has been trying to work himself
over into tho Democratic ranks
Bon's instinct, like that of other
beasts, which live by prey, is I'M
failing. For many years, during
Democratic administrations, rs one
of the most pronounced Democrats
of Massachusetts, he controlled in
large degree the patronage Of the
Federal government in his State,
and doubtless turned many an hon
est penny in its distribution. AT
the Charleston Convention in 1860,
he was moro ultra on the Southern
sldo than amy Of its members, except
perhaps those from South Carolina,
and voted siXty.onc times for JEFF
torson DAVIS for the Presi-
dcncy; and whom he failed to
secure his nomination, split the Con
vention, and retired with the ultra
Southern party to Baltimore, and
assisted in nominating Mr.. Brock
enridge. Its scarcely possible tina,
man of Buffers sagacity, coult
have believed in tho success of tina

who follow armies for days before ,
