TEE IRON TRADE AND PRospERl-y.
The Pittsburg Dispatch Of Saturday
;sst published careful review Of the
condition and prospects Of tbs iron
inHus.rie. Of which .ha: city - the
centre. The general result of its NJ
quiries is that the year 1880 will be
one Of great b1iskaess in tee iron
trade. In regard to railroads, TIE
following short table indicates the pro.
portion Of the great iron boom:
Railways likely to be built
during tie year 1880. 80. 5000 miles
Ten per cent. for repair Of
old roads, 100000 miles in
existence,). ..... ........ 5000 miles
Estimated weight of iron
for rails, fish bars, bolts
and spikes, 100 tons per
miles. ........1 ,SOO ,OOU tons
Railroad cars likely to te
built during 1880, 125,Oc0,
consuming four tons Of
iron per car. SOC, 900 tons
Ten per cent for repairs of
old cars, 100000 nowi in
existenCe,) .......... $50 900 tons
Total. ....... ........ 2,478 900 tons
This table, as will be seen, does not
include iron for locomotives. Ia
other lines of iron manufacture the
prospects are quite as encouraging.
One Pittsbrrg fra has entered Tito
contract with Western manufacture s
to sepp!y trimmings for 10000
wagons.
WITH the exception of iron We
kaow of no article that has advanced
more in price, in the last two or three
months, than printing paper. The
Cincinnati Gazette says that the ad-
vance up to this time has been about
thirty-three per cent. Not with
standing ttis 'ac! "a EJECT isr ons ev-
cry cay who think the price Of news
papers ought to come down! A dol
le. and a-hslf year for good week
ly parer-less than three cents a
week-they think is an exnorbltant
price. A man ought to be ashamed
to ask publisher to take less than
that, AID we don't think IL -ch of ono
who will do so iu these times. There

JUDGE CLAPP'S SPEECH.

We have received the admirable
speech of Judge Clapp in the Senate
of the General Assembly when
sitting i'm Committee of the Whole
on the State debt. That il, we have
received such a synopsis Of IL as
could be given in the columns of the
Nashville American. We trust II
will yet be published in full.
We read this eloquent protest
with the same feelings of dcspond-
ent admiration as those with which
we peruse the oratiOns of Demos
themes in which he urges upon the
Athenian people the claims of duty
and self-sacritice, while they are
intent only upon the spectacles and
amusements of their city. a great
man striving to inspire great
thoughts and high principles in a
sordid and frivolous crowd is always
melancholy spectacle, and we ten
der Judge Clapp all he is likely to
achieve by his eloquence, our trib-
ute of respectful sympathy and APP
probation. For three years has the
CHRoEICLE been fighting this same
battle, and throughout the greater
portion of that time scarcely 4 sin
gle journal in Middle Tennessee
and not 2 single public man in the
State has aided us in the struggle.
We yet believe that reaction of
opinion will take place on this sub
ject, that revolutionary clamor has
done its worst, and that men like
Judge Clapp viii still be recognized

THE SENATE COMO ATEEE APP
POuNEMENTS.

Since giving our account Of the
doings i'm Congress we find from
further reports that Senator Bailey
has been assigned to duty on several
important committees besides the
one Of which he is Chairman. He
has a place in the Committee on
Privileges and Elections. This was
the committee through which the
Radicals when in tine majority did
more rascality probably than by
any other means a preponderance
of honest men in it will be decidedly
a change for the better. He is also
in the Committee on POstOffices and
Mail Roads. 1t was through this
committee that John Roach hoped
10 get his iniquitOus Brazilian mail
subsidy, and it is therefore quite as
well that Col. Bailey is there, who
was the most prominent antagonist
of that measure in the Senate. Gov.
Harris also, besides the Committee
on Epidemic Diseases, of which he
is Chairman, is member of those
on District of Columbia, Claims and
Census. The business faculty of our
Tennessee Senators seems to be well
appreciated in Washington. Beck,
of Kentucky, is on Finance, Appro-
priatiOns, Civil Service and Re-
trenchment, and Transportation
Routes to the SeabOard. He will do
good service ON all these, which are
business committees.
