London scandals ana Llbels.

Our special cable dispatches report the
arrest in London of the editor and pub
Usher of the Io,oa Tale. one of the so-called
society journals. for the libels on Mrs. Lang
try, to which we have before referred, and
for libel upon another lady Of fashion,
Mrs. Corvallis West. It will be seen that
the accused was held to bail in sum equal
to ten thousand dollars, which seems to i'm
ply that the conrts are not disposed to treat
recreation. All these troubles with libels-
the many suits and summonses, the re-
cent tracas between two cditors-ap-
pear to be equally the consequences
of an unsatisfactory condition of the
law of libel and of very loose
morality in tho newspaper world of
the great capital. The custom of libelling
people seems in fact to have had sort of
fashionable run in London; and the origin
and progress of this fashion is coeval with
the progress and multiplication of that
familiar and personal style Of journalism
of which the World set the example. But
that journalism was not bad in itself. On
the contrary, IL was u now vein IOr AOu-
don, and was good and fresh. 1t was o
kind of reaction against the journalism ON
stills that was previously the only sort
recognized. The heavy dailies and tho
heavier weeklies bored readers with their
dignity, and the other style caught the
popular favor as brilliant con-
trast. But it WIS pursued beyond
all limits of decency. Yates used
known name Familiarity in association
with somo mot or anecdote. and the story
went the more happily for the flavor of per-
sonality. Labouchore assailcd some ex-
tremely respectable piece of public roguery,
was sued for libel and generally won his
case All this turned the heads of o covey
of nobodies, who thought it was only neces-
sary to use peoples names or assail some-
body or something in order to make q sue
cesslul paper and make money. Conse-
quently the number Of journals multiplied,
and the easy resource of libel was relied
upon to make their pages piquant Half the
people libelled would not sue, for the very
scandal of the thing, and the libellers
abused the impunity this gave them. Per-
haps few singing verdicts will correct
the evil, for since it has become fashionable
to be libelled it will also become fashionable
to pursue the libellers with the rigor of the
law

Low WAFER STEAMBOATS,.

The season of low water and suspend
ed navigation on the Ohio, has given
rise to the discussion of what seems to
be the greatest present need OF COM
merce, and that is a style of boat differ
emily constructed from the ordinary
steamer. The idea seems to be that
there might be a broad-bottomed freight
carrier that would be able to float on the
Ohio at any stage. We cannot conceive,
however, of any kind of craft that would
have been of much service during the
past few week.
But it is evident that there are many
seasons Of low water, when the "hoat-
ing palaces" are almost useless as freight
carriers, that flat-bOttomed boat, draw
ing but little water, and propelled by
steam, might make money lor its own
ers, and save thousands of dollars to
shippers.
Such boats could certainly be utilized
in carrying coal at seasons when the
tOw-boats, with their barges, would find
it impossible to avoid the shoals.
Whether the Ohio be improved or not
and especially il it be improved, it
would seem reasonable that such class
OF boats as We have referred to, carry
ing, as they could, an immense tonnage,
would become useful agencies in COM
merce, and would even be able to carry
freight cheaper than the ordinary
steamer, although it would be slower

THANKSGIVING.

Governor MATHEWS issues his procla-
nation, which appears elsewhere in the
REGISTER this morning, joining in the
general call for a day OF thanksgiving
and prayer, on the 9th inst. The peo-
pie OF our State, and the people of
Wheeling not less than any other pOr-
ton OF it, can enter into this occasion
with unusual heart. There has been
no other occasion of the kind within five
years past when the general condition
of our people gave greater reason for re-
joicing than at this recurring season.
There are few whose material prosperity
has not been enhanced during the year;
few whose business prospects have not
been frightened, and few who will not
find themselves in condition to sit down
to a more sumptuous repast than they
were willing to indulge in in the years
of depression we have left behind. We
do not regard it necessary to enter into
details, or an enumeration Of the changes
that make up our improved condition.
They have become so palpable in every
community that they have ceased to be
a matter OF speculation, and are accepted
on all sides as realizations for which our
people will rejoice and be glad"

IRON

There seems to be no indications, as
vet, of lull in the iron business. Ii the
reaction which has been prOPhesled Is
10 come, the symptoms are not manifest
ing themselves at present. The Pitts
burgh papers report neither a diminu-
ton i'm orders or in the prices, and they
are Of opinion that iron will still go
higher. In the market reports at that
place, red short pig iron is quoted at
SO Der ton, and ORES in Cleveland are
rated at $3.50 to SIS per ton, with an
upward tendency. Shout there be an
other rise in ores, pis metal will take
another leap, and it is believed Will not
stop short OF so per ton.
An instance Of the manner in which
the boom is affecting things in Pitts
burgh is given in the sale OF what Is
called the MCkNGHT mill, for which
$4,000 could not be obtained year
AGO. It has lust sold for S72, 20. \ charter
has also Just been issued to an iron and
steel company with a capital stock OF
S5OO.OOO. The "Steel Billet Works,
lately organized, will he built in a short
time.
The mills in AMI about Wheeling
seem TO be pursuing the even tenor OF
their WAYS, well satisfied with the pres
ent and prospective status OF affairs.
The Top mill, which suspended some
weeks ago for repairs to its furnace,
has now completed the job, and as soon
as it is dry will resume operations.
There were fifteen carloads Of iron re-
ceived at the mill, yesterday, over the
Pewiky road, and everything is being
put in readiness for start.
