RICHMOND, Va, January 1.-THE
Tredegar Iron Works Company have sus-
pended. From five hundred to six hun
dred operatives are thrown out Of employ
ment. Liabilities not yet known.
Gen. Joseph Sanders, President OF the
Tredegar Iron Company, makes brief
statement to the effect that the company
having lost largely by the failure Of other
parties during the panic Of 1878, has been
compelled in consequence Of those losses,
and the continued depression OF the iron
trade, to suspend payment. 1t is hoped,
however, that the suspension will be tenn.
porars. Before the panic the company
was worth a million and half dollars
over its liabilities. After the panic oi
1878 the company, owing to the large
amounts due by the Chesapeake 4 Ohio
and the New York, oswego & Midland
railroads, became embarrassed and were
granted an extension by the creditors, be.
ing secured by deeds Of trust on the COM
pany's property. It is believed that their
liabilities not covered by said deed
will not exceed hundred thousand
dnllars. w.

Tho Mark Lane Express, in its weekly

turned last week with greatly increased
severity, butno change from the mild and
damp weather has been seryiceable 10 the
newly threshed samples, which had
scarcely found buyers in consequence Of
their miserable condition. To this we
attribute moderate decline in averages
rather than to any actual reduction, but
we can hardly rely upon fullrecoyery
in the condition until March sSts in. So
we have six weeks before We can expect
much benefit, though the land has been
getting somewhat drained Of superauous
moisture in preparation for, spring plant

now we have exactly reacIledthe average.

President Making at washing.
ton.


II has long been the custom, that tho
session Of Congress Immediately preced.
ing the election ofthe President is largely
occupied with business which is designed
to bear directly on that event. Perhaps
It is TO be deplored that such is the case,
but il too much to hope for any speedy
or thorough reformation.
It il entirely plain that the present
Congress is observing this custom with
zeal. We have sample Of its work in
the debate on the amnesty bill. And as
one OF the people, the writer desires TO ex-
press his utter disgust with the whole mat
ter as thus far conducted. Inso doing, he
makes no distinction between either OF the
political parties engaged in it. We can
not see that the leaders on ono side have
done any better than those on the other:
The session has been spent mainly in oi-
fering resolutions for political effect.
The countrynow really needs the best
efforts Of statesmen. Great questions
which affect the nature Of the government
itself are pressing for consideration.
Problems Of finance, transportation, cdu-
cation, and the like, need solution.
Public interests Of real and general im.
portance call for discussion and decision.
They arc such, too, as admit Of an honest
difference Of opinion. Besides, we have
come to the centennial OF our national
existence. Every American and especial
" every man who is placed in high pOlit-
ical position, should feel that he must
rise to the dignity Of the occasion in his
actions. Both the memory Of the past
and hope for the future ought to elevate
his aims and efforts.
And what is offered in response TO this
reasonable demand? Where is the state.
manship in what has been said or done ?
What has it all amounted to but bit OF
chess playing by some pardzan leaders!
The real interests OF the nation are not
touched. They are rather avoided lest
an honest expression of opinion should
iniurc some aspirant for Office. And the
discussion itself has the flavor of the stump
rather than that which becomes the halls
OF Congress.
The time has come when the people
should give the politicians to understand
that one Of two things must be done. Eth
er they must stop all such work and crap.
pie with the real questions which affect
the nation and show themselves to be ca
pable Of such a task; or they must step
aside at the next election and allow 9TH
ers who are moro worthy TO take their
place. And il the political parties which
now exist will not comply with so proper
demand, then the people had better or
ganize themselves into another which will
heed their voice. AMERICAN.

Did Logan Make That Speech ?
Editors Intelllgencer:

In Yesterdays issue you publish letter
on Logan, or rather .on Mr.. Franklin G.
Mays letter concerning Logan. 1t seems
to us that "Veritas" has taken upon him
self to dispute what was long ago conclu-
siyely proven true. He says:
"The truth OF the matter is about this !:
Thomas Jefferson either intended 10 say
something complimentary TO the Indian
race in his sNotes on Western Virginia,
or, writing to make his book interesting,
put the famous speech into Logan's
mouth. Possibly Jefferson may have
been imposed upon by some yarn.spin-
ming pioneer. At all cvcntSjAit required
very little effort for the great brain Of
the author OF the Declaration to evolve
from its inner consciousness the pro-
duction that has immortali2ed Logan,
Chief OF the Mingoes."
Passing over any loosness OF language
in this paragraph We wish merely 10
speak OF the facts in the case. We sup
nose "Veritasp is we'll enough acquainted
with history to know that the genuine
ness Of the Logan speech, and the nu:.
thencity Of Jeilersons account thereof,
was first called into question by rela-
tive Of Col. Cresap, against whom Logan
complained in his speech. This relative
announced his readiness 10 enter into de-
bate with Jefferson upon the question,
and to finally settle the dispute, the
author OF tho "Notcs on Virginia" hunt
ed, and at last found, the only man who
OF his own personal knowledge could say
il the speech was or was not the produc-
ton OF the Indian. This man was John
Gibson, an officer under Lord Dun
more in the war which grew out
Of the atrocities alluded to in the
speech, and afterwards an associate
Judge in Allegheny county, Pennsylvania.
Judge Gibson, in answer to letter from
Mr.. Jefferson, sent an affidavit in which
hc stated that the speech was delivered
to him by Logan, written down and de-
livered by him to Lord Dunmore, exactly
as given In Mr.. JefIerson's "Notes." This
sworn testimony is corroborated by nu.
merous other depositions in the light OF
which to deny the authenticity OF Jetler-
sons statement at this late day is foolish.
Drake in his Biographies; Williams in his
American Pioneer; Kaufmanin in his Early
History; and Mcknight in his Western
Border accept and publish the story as
true and the speech as genuine. Perhaps,
then il would be we'll for "Veritas" to in
form himself before thus contradicting
sworn evidence and the carefully formed
opinion Of every constituted authority.
