The process of manufacturing G

The process of manufacturing gun
barrels has undergone wide change
during a comparatively few years.
Formerly, an iron "scalp," eighteen
inches long, six inches wide, half an
inch thick, and weighing ten pounds,
was thrown into furnace, heated,
and curved in a rolling machine; it re-
ccivcd only two welding heats, but
was changed many times from the
furnace to the rollingmachinc, or until
it was rolled to the proper size and
extended to the length Of the barrel :;
III the rolling process cavity was
preserved with different sized steel
rods, and, while hot, the barrel was
passed on rod into Strengthening
machine, then annealcd, cone-scatcd,
bored, turned. ground, millcd, rincd,
and polished. Now, however, the
workmcn start with steel bar eight
or ten feet long and about one inch in
thickness; this they cut into pieces six
or eight inches long, bore each piece,
pass them into furnace on a rod, then
into the rolling machine, and proceed
as in the old process.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. G.
June 10, 1879.

The desire to adjourn, or some other
motive, yesterday induced the Repuoii,
cans to unite with the Democrats and
pass the Legislative bill. There is In 1t
no provision Tor judicial expenses "A
bill for these has been introduced but
no money is appropriated Tor deputy
marshals or supervisors. Inc army ap-
nropria,ion bill, i, is believed, will so
ibrouch without material change to-
dav An these bills can be put before
N.Y. HAYES this week, if the Senate acts
as promptly as the House appears will
inc to do. 1t is thought he will APP
provc them all, but there is doubt il the
Army bin, as 1t contains instructions rs
10 what the money appropriated shall
and shall not be used for. Secretary
MoCrary, who Is understood TO have
prepared the veto of the other Army
bill, in which the doctrine of Federal
supremacy in matters Of parely State
concern is Extensively stated, is now
asking Tor confirmation as a |. ).
Judge, from Senate having majority
of men who believe in the Constitutions
nj right of States to regulate their own
affairs. His nomination probably will
not be acted on until GIr. Hayes APP
proves or yetoes the Army bill.
Whatever the action of Mr.. Hayes
NAV be, Congress will adjourn, almost
certainly, by the 20th, or earlier. If any
Department is left without the ueccssa-
~ money, the people generally will I'M
derstand whose fault it is. The ballot
box. pierced by bayonet, which ap-
peared in the Ewing procession here the
other evening, tells plainly and elo-
ouenuy what is in the minds OF the
people.
General Rice, who is to DO Lieuten-
ant.Govemor of Ohio, is here. During
his terms in the House General Rice
was chairman of the Committee on
Pensions. Himself crippled soldier,
he performed the arduouS duties Of the
position with an Intelligence and l!ber-
alitv that made him hosts of friends all
over the country. Genl Rice is worth

wApEuuAMprON's SPEECH.

In the u. S. Senate, on Thursday OF
last week, when the bill to repeal GER
tain sections Of the Revised Statues in
regard to Jurors, was up for considera-
ton, Gen. Wade Hampton Of South
Carolina said
"Therc was q widespread doctrine
that the results Of the war had been to
increase the strength and functions OF
the general government, aud that as a
natural consequence it could rightly use
the machinery of the government, IN
Gliding the army, to confirm such add
ed power. Mr.. Hampton thought the
war had not changed in any way the
relative power of the States and the
Union. One Of the principal factors OF
our success and growth has been the
play of local governmental influences.
1t was not the immediate action OF the
army that he feared, but that the ultl-
mate effect of its misuse would be cen
tralization and despotism, and he would
oppose any legislation to give the gen
eral government power 10 interfere IN
any way with elections. 1t had been
claimed that Confederate officers were
sent here as Legislators. Nearly every
man in the South bore arms, and she
could hardly be blamed for trusting her
interests in peace to those who rsEed
their lives and fortunes for her in war.
He thought if the North had honored
III like manner those who fought her
battles the legislation Of the country
would not be embittered 10y rcVlvals OF
sectional strife. When the North in
vited the Southern States TO return 10
the Union was she sincere, or did she
only wish them back to govern them as
rotten boroughs? Ifsincere, she should
be glad that they sent their best and
most honored men to represent them.
The South could not, in the nature OF
things, be long subordinated to the
mass Of ignorance and inexperlence
forced on them by the hasly action OF
the republican party. The South had
no apology to make for the past. In
the heat of conflict hard blows were
struck and hard words spoken, but to
recall those words now is not the inter
est Of that harmony for which the
whole country longs. The South asks
to have stricken from the statue books
laws which are the product Of distrust
as much as were armies and navics. If
You ask us to come back rs States treat
us as States, join hands with us to es,
taJIish national liberty rs understood
by our fathers
