IRON AND NAITs.-'rhe Pittsburgh
Manufacturer OF yesterday says that busi-
ness continues fairly active, but buyers
continue 10 pursue conservative policy
with regard to purchases Of iron. In re.
gard to pig metal, it says that
"The cost OF production, it is believed,
has been reduced down about us low as
can be, and it follows, therefore, that the
production will fall off and the stocks be.
come more and more reduced as, long
Us the market continues in its pres.
cnt unremuncrative condition; however,
il is but proper TO state in this connec.
ton, that the value OF the raw article At
the present writing is fully equal rela-
lively to that OF the products; and this is
the great obstacle in the way Of getting
up the price Of pig iron. In word, these
two great interests are so closely identi'
fed that the one must Of necessity SYM
pathize with the other"
Business in manufactured iron is not
brisk. But
"Therc is every reason TO believe, il
business is q little slack tl,is spring, that
it will be better than usual during the
summer, as stocks, both in hands Of job.
bers and consumers, are known to bc
light, and the inducements are favorable
to an increased consumption. Prices may
be quoted firm on basis Of 2,35, 60
days, for bars"
In regard to nails, the Manufacturer re-
marks as follows:
"The nail trade, like that Of iron, has
been affected somewhat by the advanced
prices, which, us was expected, have, for
the time being, curtailed the demand, but
the market is very firm nevertheless, and
the manufacturers entertain no appre'
hension in regard to the cutting Of rates,
so freely indnlged in prior to the forma.
ton OF the Western Association in March
last. Any member Of the combination
detected in cutting the regular card rates
and it Is impossible to cut without be.

agreed that the general debate should
close at o'clock. ]
Mr.. Vance, OF North Carolina, address.
ed the committee on the subject OF fra.
ternity, and pointed out certain things
which he believed would greatly tend &c
create better feeling in tho South. One
Of these was to stop the partisan appeals
that were indulged in by Northern Re.
publicans; another, was to help build up
the waste places Of the South; another, to
go as far as possible in the payment Of
claims to Southern people forservices rem.
dered the United States before the war.
Among these claims was that OF mail
contractors for services prior to 1861.
Mr.. Holman denied that some Of the
provisions OF the bill were chiefly in the
interest Of the great Railroad Cos, He
showed that by fixing, as this bill did, the
rates for postal cars, at six mills per
mile, per foot Of lineal space on trains
running up to twenty-five miles per hour,
and FIVE mills for trains running at a
greater speed, there would be saving ef-

Did Not Come.

Ex-Hon James NJ. Scovel of Camden, n
j, having promised to speak at the Demo
cratic meeting in the Court House last Mon
day evening. and not being able to be present
on account of defending another great rascal
for killing man, sent a letter to be read to
to the meeting which he disappointed.
Mr.. Scoyiel is of very versatile turn OF
mind; a man Of many parts, especially politi-
cal, all Of which he attemps to play, which will
be readily seen when we state that he started
out in political life Democrat, then he be-
came a radical Republican, then Liberal,
then a radical Republican again, and now he
Is a reform Democrat Hence the uncharitable
world call him genuine political hummer.
Mr.. Scovel is a heavy concern beating about
to find his own level, and who will doubt that
he has now found most fitting companions.
For they and he need reforming as much as
any set of political sinners can. But who
would be weak or green enough to hope for
any permanent result? For the whole party
would soon lose their principles and would
have to go through another reformatory stage
before they themselves would know what
their principles are or to what party they be
long. But Of such is this modern self-styled
reform Democracy. But how suitable the
name? For they have been reforming fol
the last l6 years But young men, come out
from among them and join the truly reform
Republican party which has given character
earth.

The Centennial. &C.

4 visit to Philadelphia last week was well
repaid by the many and grand things We saw
while there. OF course the Centennial was
the grandest of all SO much however has
been said and written about it that we will
not attempt to bore our readers with a
detailed description of what We saw. The
general opinion we heard expressed of it by
the many thousands who visited it with US,
is the whole thing in a nut shell-''it is
decidedly the biggest show out" and it is
made such by the numbers who go to see it
as much as by the million or more of articles
of interest which strike the eye as one passes
through the immense buildings aud extensive
grounds. If it were easy to picture in i'm.
imagination crowds ranging from $4,000 tc
l2l 500 people, one might enjoy all the In
terest arising from the crowded part of the
exhibition with out enduring the fatigue anC
and expense of a personal visit. But as the
imaginary picture will not begin to come VI

n8- What a bright jewel consistency is, as
any one knowing the meaning of the word,
if he were not the embodiment of inconsis-
tency itself and therefore not able to see his
own faults, would have involuntarily excaim
ed, had he been at the Court House last
Monday night and heard the strong condem-
nation by the speakers ofall political SANDER
ers and falsifers. But the ridiculous part OF
their denunciation was apparent in the fact
that the speakers themselves were slandering
their opponents in the most reckless manner,
heaping misrepresentation upon misrepresen,
tation, Untruth upon untruth while denounc
Ing the same offences in their opponents
According to them SANDER is bad when
they catch it, but good when you give it.
Nothing too mean, base or vile, could the
second speaker apply to his opponents. And
in giving Inference to these base SANDERS h.
strained himself beyond his voice and Utterly
choked himself with his own SANDERS, while
IN the act Of denouncing SANDER in his oppon
ents. a strange spectacle indeed, and highly
laughable too, but for the pity or contempt
which it excited. The speaker seemed to be-
to his own faults, as blind as tongue, which
makes It's words but cannot see them.

of truthfully saying that he had witnessed
the greatest sight of his life, and furnish
him food for study, thought and talk for the
remainder of his life. Thursday last was a
big day. 1t was New York's day. 1t was
also the Tilden' day. But the faint applause
which greeted the reformer's arrival, notwith-
standing the presence of at least / 200 OF
Tammany's bushwangers in shape of New
York policemen on the ground, must have
convinced both Democracy and its Presiden-
tial candidate, that however much they may
desire not to believe it the fact remains that
the people are not with the party which
would mar the Unions escutcheon by placing
in the presidential chair perjured defender
of the government, and in the lesser offices
such men as Tammany and the rest of the
gang of Democratic pcculators and political
frauds would select for their occupancy.
The second great sight that We saw was
the Odd Fellows parade, acknowledged on
all sides to be the greatest and most brilliant
display ever made by civic societies in the
city of Brotherly love. Some idea of the
extent of this display may be inferred when
we state the fact that the procession was
three hours and twenty-six minutes in pass
ing the Masonic Temple, corner of Broad and
Market streets, on its way to the Fair Mount
fair grounds in steady motion. There were
ninety six bands Of music in the procession,
and at least 10000 Odd Fellows, clothed III
most brilliant regalia, and bearing at least
a thousand banners Of beautiful design
marching TO the excellent music of the bands.
No one present regretted their presence, and
those who were not present missed sight
which opportunity may never be afforded
them to witness again.
To-day is Pennsylvania day at the Cen
tennial grounds, and we shall be much
mistaken if the newspaper reports do not
furnish US the information that the numbers
assembled to do honors to the centenary OF
the adoption of the first constitution of the
state does not far exceed those of any day
yet passed.
While in Philadelphia we would say e,
pdSSent that we were well and kindly cared
for by mine host SPAIN, of the Merchant
House, No. Ais North Third street above
Callowhill.

BGg~ 1t is hoped that the speaker who
so bitterly denounced the political slanderes
last Monday night, made some good i'm
preston on the archaeological stundent
who needs such lectures so much, but we
fear he is beyond reform. We hope, how,
ever that the ex-Hon. will give him another
slashing before turning him over to the
tormenters. If we wanted to put the
student in political purgatory we would
compel him for just one week to fill his
paper with political facts. We think that
would be one of the most painful operations
he could endure

Ne1C 4 0rt Times through the detection or one
of Tweed clerks became possessed of the
proof from Tweeds own books sufficient to
convict Tweed of his most stupendous thiev-
ing; then it was when Samuel j. Tilden saw
that Tweed $ rule was up, that his political
death knell was rung, then to save himself
from the charge of completely with Tweed s
scoundrelsms he ungenerously turned against
his old political confederate and helped the
Republicans hunt him to his political grave
and everlasting infamy. Before this Tilden
as relormer was never heard Of What
next? He then pounced on his Democratic
friends in the Canal Ring and convicted one
man. spending near 100000, and stopped
the payment of only $4,000. What next
He next put in a claim as reformer because
he had reduced the taxes of New York from
SIG, 900, 900 to $S,000,000. But this was
too bare faced. The deception was quickly
seen and exposed. For the Republican
administration of Gov Dix paid off the
Bounty debt or provided for its payment,
just before Tilden became Governor.
Hence Tilden had nothing to do with reduc-
ing the taxes of New York But Tilden and
his friends claim the honor all the same, or
did until after his nomination for the Presi-
dency was secured. Since then the fraud
has been exposed, and his friends in shame
have ceased to claim the honor for him.
Before his nomination for the Presidency,
many Of the best men of his own party, who
know him well, pronounced Tilden fraud
and cheat as a reforn,er and what has
tranSpired since then to disprove their asser-
tons? Nothing! But on the contrary
every day adds new proof of the fact that
they knew their man and judged Kim
correctly.
During the war he was in sympathy with
the rebels and helped organize in 1863 in New
York a society which they called "a Society
for the Diffusion of Political knowledge. y
This society opposed the war as their issues
show to their shame. They were copper
heads of the purest dye Moreover when he
came to pay his income tax he either by
perjury or deception defrauded the govern
ment out of great part of it. Nor car
there be any mistake about this. And such
are the claims of Mr.. Tilden as a reformer
What ought honest patriotic men to think
Of him?
No gentlemen speakers, it is all in vair
for you to attempt to deceive an intelligen
public by your loud and boisterous twaddlt
for reform and Tilden, for the jury which i
to pass judgement on your case know all tht
the facts, and you have not got back pay
enough to bribe them TO give you the verdict
Your party has been weighed in tn
balance and found sadly wanting, and there
fore, on the 7th Of November, the only trul.
reform party, under whose guidance ou
country has become one Of the first nations o
the globe with Hayes and Wheeler as it
standard bearers, will place its hand as gent
as child but as powerful as a Samson S o
the electric key ballot, which will send cur
rent through the hearts of a patriotic peopl
and send your mock reform party highe
