1T is announced that g movement has
been started in western Texas in favor
Of forming that portion Of the State into
q new commonwealth. This action is
based upon the agreement claimed to
have been entered into when the Lone
Star wss put upon the American flag
that whenever any part Of Texas pos
sessing sufficient area Of territory and
amount Of populstion should apply for
admission to the Union, and that sppli-
cation wss properly indorsed by the
s'ste legislature, that the new State
should be recognized. 1t is claimed that
IN population and territorial expansion
western Texas is simply endowed at this
tlme, and the legislature ct it's next ses-
Sion will be called upon to indorse the
desire OF the people Of that section for
separate political existeDce-incorpora
tion into the Union.

LOWELL ON TILDEN AND HIS PARTY.-In an
address at Cambridge. Mass. on Thursday
evening, Professor james Russell Lowell eulo-
gized the character and achievements of Mr..
Charles Francis Adams, but thought that his
very excellence as a man was reason why no
we'll wisher of the country should vote for him
as the candidate of such party as the Demo-
cratic now is. On this subject of parties he
thus expressed himself. There is another,
and, it seems to me, much more important
question for thoughtful voters to consider, and
it is this: In the hands of which party will
the great gains of the war be safest-of that
much more dearly in priceless blood and in
hopeful lives? 1t seems to me, gentlnen, that
respectable as the Democratic nominations are
they have that taint. Mr.. Tilden not only be-
longs to the party, not only has he been o
leader of the party, but he has been one of the
foremost advocates of state rights and has
pushed the doctrine of the personal indepen-
dence of the individual states even so far as to
claim the right of rebellion. Now, what would
be the consequence of q doctrine like this? 1t
would be to make rebellion constitutional; to
give US, instead of the country we have, q
Mexico in which every discontented politician
puts himself at the head OF an armed move
ment. L am not exsggerating Such things
have happened, and such things might happen
again. 1t seems to me that this is cousidera-
tion which might well have turned the scale in
the mind of any Tan who was debating with
himself toward which side he should turn his
influence, and for which party he should give
| his vote. L confess that for myself prefer To
be the citizen Of great country prefer to
| feel in my veins the pulses of powerful and
| indiSSOluDe nationality"

s'The First Bar of IrOn."
To the Editor of the Press :

10 Re E0etOf OF ule FTeSS
Since your mention in the PRESS that Sam
uel G. Lewis of Pttsburg, was to have public
reception at the Centennial, as one of the max
ers of the first bar Of iron in the United States,
L have become interested in the history of the
early iron-works of the country. The Trans
script quotes from Judge Bourne an account Of
ironworks at Kennebunk in 1774-this is to the
purpose, and stimulates Investigation.
Pig iron was exported from Maryland to Eog-
land as early as 1717, but there is no evidence
that it was made into bars. There is now in
that state blast furnace called the "Cotoctin"
which was built in IVA. This discussion re-
minds me of some remains of iron works in
Saugus, Mass, which 1 visited in 1878. In
consulting my notes, made at the time, I find
that the ore used was "bog' ore, some of which
was taken to London by Mr.. Bridges in 1642,
and company was there formed to erect and
work the necessary furnaces and machinery
at Saugus. This company commenced opera
tions in the iron manufacture in 1643, and
closed in 1858. To show the extent of these
works it may be mentioned that Griffin, the su'
perintendent, agreed to give Adam Hawkes.
sixteen loads of hay ann ually for the damage
by flowing his land by the dam, and 200 cord;
of wood for that destroyed by the water
In 1862 the Massachusetts, colony established
mint for the coming of silver. The dies uset
were made by Joseph jerks at these IRON
works, probably to keep the project from the
home government, to avoid an injunction be-
fore the issue of the coin. Of course the pis
iron must have been made into bars. In De
cember 1913, Mr.. Endicott of Salem wrota tt
Gov. Winthrop at Boston: Il very much wan
to hear from your sons iron and STEEL" The
son was one of the Suagus company. This was
13o years before the manufacture of iron al
Kennebunk, and must have been 16O years pre-
vlous to the manufacture by any man now lv.
ing. Any one being anxious to investigate,
can now see the remains of the Saugus iron
works, dams, &C., and for half mile on tht
Saugus river, can see large mounds of cinders
showing plainly their origin after lying there
two hundred years. Undoubtedly these wer,
the first iron-works in the United States, al
they were commenced Only twenty-five year
after the landing of the Pilgrims, and twelv,
years after the arrival of Gov. Winthrop anC
his colony at Salem. WIG.

Gov. TILDEN ought now to explain why
he did not make his explanation sooner, and
why it was that his friends were allowed to
give the public to understand that the
meagreness of his income in 1872 was ac-
counted for by the fact that in that year he
lent his brother large sum of money and
lost it. A list of what purported to be his
receipts for that year had been staring him in
the face for more than month before it oc-
Cured to him to say that it was fabrica
tion, though during all this time his political
friends were accepting it as genuine, and
cudgelling their brains to explain away the
force of it. But even if these items are false
Mr.. Tilden is not relieved from the main
charge. That the income of a lawyer of his
standing for whole year was only $1,000 !;
monstrously improbable, and nothing but the
clearest evidence will make the public be
lieve it. Yet the Governors confdentia
secretary offers not word on this point
though it is the main one in issue, content
ing himself with simply saying that certain
sums alleged to have been received by Mr.
Tilden were not received.

remember to have read in some book of ths
law, that "if mans land is not surrounded bn
any actual fence, the law encircles K
with an imaginary enclosure, TO pass
which is to break and enter his close"
In this work l fear the poets will regard
me as a great trespasser. I certain
ly have broken and entered their close; but as I
have done it with no evil intent, trust they
pardon me.

by Others of like character, descriptive of q

FAMILY TREE. By Albany De Foublanoue: +:
Estes & Lauriat, Publishers, Boston. Portland /:
Hall l.. DAVIS
The first half of the book the author deyotes
10 planting the roots Of the family tree in the
reign OF James 1st of England, in doing which
the old superstitions and prosecutions for
witcncratt and the general lawlessness of the
good old times" are treated with marked abili-
ty. The tree blossomed and bore fruit in our
own day and generation, and most of the lead
ing affairs of our bad young times are dis
cussed with freedom. Causes which arise In
these unenligtened ages produce their effects
in our day; witchcraft is modified as spiritual
ism, and highway robberies and the eibbet give
place to Wholesale frauds and pardon.
The author is evidently Southerner of the
violent type and was. probably a rampant rebel
during the war, and he takes much unneces-
sary space in discussing the topic from his
standpoint.
The story is good one though quite elabor-
ate. A certain wise man becomes possessed Of
curously carved cssket for which he manu.
factures three Keystone of gold, one of silver,
and one OF iron-no one key unlocks the casket
OF itself; the keys get into the possession Of
three persons, where they are religiously kept
and transmitted from father to son as sacred
trust, till, by complication of circumstances,
the owners of the keys are brought together, the
property passes from the descendant of the old
"witch-fnder" who is no less coward and
sneak, to the rightful heirs and all is well.
