The following Is pnblis,ed in the Spectator

of the 13tlr:
In reply to the abb ' 1.-The Executive Comm T.
tee Of The Augusta Memorial Association for
the Confederate dead, have to say. that bids
for the Iron work on the Confederate Cemetery
were invited. That the Staunton Iron Works
Company was not the lowest bid by very
considerable per centage. The contract was
awarded to-the lowest bidder. No proposition
was ever made to the Committee to duplicate
the lowest bid, less the casts of transportation
from Richmond or Baltimore by the Stanton
Iron Works Company, or by any other party.
The committee, although unanimously des-
ro,ls of awarding the contract at home, were
constrained by their sense Of tluty to the fund
in their hands for administrator, to award the
contract IN favor of the bidder who offered the
best and cheapest work. A proposition to t},,-
plieate the lowest bid would have been allie
dishonorable in the party making it, and IN the
Committee accepting it.
1t never occurred to this Committee that the
Staunton Iron Works Company had any politi-
cal complexion whatever.

s ENCOURAGING HOME ENrERPRIsE.-Th The
blatant demagogles who stirred up the strife
about the municipal election, made for all ar
gument to Justify them, the prctsnse that the
election of r. G. Bickle, Republican, TO the
Mayoralty would injnre Staunton. They knew
it was false when they gave currency to the
expression. They cared nothing about the
substantial interests of the people. 1t was on
ly to crafty their personal hostility and politi-
cal hatred. and their real motives were conceal
eli under the speciolrs deception. To show how
far their sympathcs are enlisted in behalf of
the~indnstria enterprises of home. we have on
y to alude to the Confederate Cemetery, and
the proposition to enclose it with iFoh railing.
For number of years fund has been accu-
mulating, contributed by our citizcns generally,
Republicans and Conservatives, for the pur-
pose Of making appropriate improvements at
the Cemetery. 1t was determined to enclose
the grounds with an iron fence. Bids were invi-
ted,and the Staunton Iron works Co. was among
the bidders, After furnishing its bid, the COM
pany proposed to duplicate the lowest bid, less
the cost Of tr3nsportaton from either the city
Of Baltimore or Richmond, that might be pre-
sented from either of the places named. In
stead of accepting this proposition and saving
! the amount Of transportation and expanding
| the money among our own people where it had
been contributed, the contract, we understand,
was awarded to a Richmond firm.
No one doubts but that the Staunton Iron
Works Company could put up as good job as
any establishment in Virginia or out Oft. We
all know that the money for the work would
have been expended among our own pconle,
and that the mechanics would have been en-
| Outraged to that extent. But the wisdom of
the Association determined that it was pruper
| to send to Richmond to have done that which
could have been accomplished at homo at less
cost,

| influence was given TO award the contract to a
Richmond firm over a Staunton firm Wg cans

| We certainly desire to do the Committee and
every one else JUSTICE, and it was in this spirit
THAT the paragraph which called forth the reply
| from the Committee was written. We believ-
ed that an injustice had been done the people
and our home MECHANICS, and tile belief was
based on the following statement which shows
foF itsclf'
OFFICE or SrAUNToN IRON WORKS.
May 23rd, 1876.
We proposed to furnish the Committee of
the Augusta Memorial Association
400 Posts 1925. 90
ooV boits '...............'............. 5O.OO
57Q Rings $500
Total, 5000. 90
In addition to the above, we stated to the
Engineer and two OF the Committee that we
would put up the work at the above price. We
alsQ stated that if that was not satisfactory we
would duplicate the lowest responsible bid less
the freight.
GEO. w. EYLER,
Superintendent.
At the time this proposition was submitted
bids were invited only for the articles named
above, the tags and chains not being considered
at all; It was made uron the pattern furnish
ed by the Engineer, and when the bids were
opened was found to be the lowest. In the
meantime other patterns had been submitted,
and at the suggestion of Mr.. Eyler a new ore
was adopted. When Mr.. Eyler was asked by
tie Committee if lie would furnish the posts ac-
cording to the new pattern at the price bid, he
replied that he thought he could. The specif-
IL,
base Il new bid, and after c,reful examina-
ton of them he found that greater expense
would he incurred in manufacturing the posts
according to the new pattern, than had been
estimated ior the first and consequently raised
his figures and there were other bids lower
the result had been announced, Mr.. Eyler. in
view OF the peculiar circumstances surrounding
the case--the fund having been contributed by
our citizens generally to duplicate
the lowest bid, which would have saved the
cost of transportation. This proposition was
made to the Engineer and two of the Commit
tee, and was rejected.
The proposition made by Mr.. Eylcr cmbra-
ccd the placing of the posts in position, and
could not therefore be placed on the same ba-
sis as the bids of other firms. II then, the bid
of the Stauntcn Iron works Ca. did not exceed
that of the other firms, after deductins the
charges of transportation, tho hauling and Set
ting the posts, it was the duty of tho commits
tee to award tho contract to home manufac
lures,
Mr., Allen, the Engineer, asserts, however,
that he did not understand Mr.. Eyler's bid to
embrace the setting of the posts.
This is a plain and truthful statement OF the
case, ard we leave the people to Judge.
