U. S. SUPREME COURT.
Maryland Election Cases.

WASHINGTON, October "a. - No. !,
original ex parte, Albert Siebold ct al,
petitioners; argued by Bradley T. John
son, for petitioners, and by Attorney
General Devens in opposition to the
petitions, The petitioners in this case,
five election judges, duly appointed un-
der the laws of Maryland, were Indicted
in the United States Circuit Court for
the District Of Maryland, in November,
1873, upon the charge Of violating the
Federal election laws, while acting as
such Judges, in the Congressional cleo
ton that year. They were tried at the
November term of said court, convicted
ofthe Offenses charged in acknowledgements
and sentenced 10 various terms Of i'm
priSonment in the city Jail Of Baltimore.
They now pray this Court for wri Is OF
hpbsas corpus and discharge, upon the
ground that the statutes under which
they were indicted, convicted and i'm
prisoned were unconstitutional and
void. The case is analogous in many re-
speCts TO that OF Augustus q. Clark, Pc
titioner, yesterday. The argument Of
the Attorney General in opposition TO
the present petitions is substantially
identical with that against the petition
of Augustus q. Clark, in the analogous
case OF Yesterday, the points OF which
have been given.

About Pig Iron.

fhlladtlphh ITeNA.
SIR: For many years up to 1888 Mes
srs. Parke 4 Tiers, owners uf Point
Pleasant Iron Foundry, kensington,
imported large quantities OF Scotch and
English pig iron, and purchased all that
was imported bv other firms. In addi'
ton 20 what they used, they supplied
other fOuntries in tins city and vicinity
with the Scotch pig, and sold large guam
titles To sundry iron merchants, who
sold it to foundries in various inland
towns. In 1888 they discovered that
the iron made by David G. Wood at
Millville, y. j., answered for the pur-
poses oi Scotch pig, and quit the use OF
il. They kept on supplying to their
customers for Scotch pig the iron made
at Millville. and il answered every pur-
pose, as they heard no complaint. No
Scotch or English pig iron will compare
in strength to our American iron, and
the Scotch pig is used only for making
small thin castings, which our anthrs-
cite iron will make just as well, though
stronger. No foundry in this country
would dare TO make car wheels OF Scotch
or English pig iron, Ii is n mystery to
me why founders will use Scotch pig
which costs g to g per ton more than
our own iron, and knowing it will not
compare with our iron in strength.
The immense quantities OF broken
and wornout railroad bars, scrap iron.
broken tools, machinery, etc, imported
here from England is strong proof Of the
inferior quality Of English iron. The
heavy shipments Of American car
wheels to England and the Continent ~
4 proof OF the superior strength Of Amer
lean iron. our ioundries are gradually
quitting the use Of Scotch and English
PIC iron.

in order to keep stock on hand, have

some OF the prices We hear of as being
