An Unfortunate Invitation to the steu

Some Of those who have been active in
arranging for the excursion Of veterans to
steubenville, on Thursday, have had their
ardor considerably dampened by the dis
covery that the principal orator Of the day
there Is to be the Democratic candidate
for Governor. Gen. Garfield speaks also,
but he is not a candidate, though strong
enough oratorically to combat any "here.

desire to keep politics out OF the gathering

Steubenvills Herald Of yesterday. g.. o..
We learn from Capt. al. Mellor, for
merly of this place but now Of the Norton
Iron Works, Ashland, Kyo who is here
to attend the reunion, that times in the
Hanging Rock Iron Region have not
been so bright since the panic as they
now are. The following statement from
Mr.. A. R. Fennacy, Secretary of the Nor
ton Works, will show what that concern
has been doing. Since starting up on the
lst OF March they have run % weeks to
date, making 100000 kegs Of nails on so
machines. The furnace has been in blast
So days. making daily average OF so tons
on a mixture OF ores with l-5 coke and
40 Ashland coal. The company EN-.
ploys at the works and mines
GOO men, and distributes $1,000
every two weeks. The Norton
Works will keep running on double turn
until Christmas unless some breakage oc-
ours. They are not taking any new or.
ders, being considerably behind on old
ones. The Ashland furnace and coal
works are also going ahead full, and the
furnace is doing first rate. Mr.. NIellor
says there isn't man in Ashland out OF
work, and that the prospect is the most
comforting they have known for years.
At Ironton, Ohio FIVE miles below, the
furnaces and mills are going, and there is
q feeling Of good times that makes the
town remarkably cheerful. At Portsmouth
both the iron and steel mills, for some
time idle, have started up, and are run
ming as fast as they can, and will 60 on
double turn, Just as soon as they can get
the men. That seems to be the only
trouble now, and whenever a man who
can do anything wants work, he can get
it, and plenty Of it,

GRAFTON, W. VA, August 20, 1879.
Editors IutelIIgeHcsr.
You are in error in your statement in
relation to the case of Eli Ice, published
in to.day's INTELLlGENcER. You have
doubtless confounded the case OF Ell Ice
with that Of Isaac Thompson, who was in
dicted in Marion county, charged with
the murder Of a man by the name Of Ice
during the war. Thompson's case was
certified to the Circuit Court Of the United
States, where he was prosecuted by Gen.
eral Gof, attorney for the Government.
Thompson was acquitted BY the jury.
Eli Ice was tried and convicted in the
Court of Marion County. E.S. W. Moore
was prosecuting attorney for the county
at the time, and was aided in this case by
Hon. B. F. Martin. Mr.. Martin managed
the case chiefly, and 1t is said made one
OF the most brilliant efforts OF his life.
Mr.. Martin was then and is now thorough.
ly convinced that Ice was guilty. He in.
sists that Ice had perfectly fair and impair
tial trial; that he was well and ably
defended, and that the jury and the court
and its officers were in sympathy with
Ice, and that he would have been acquit-
ted had there been the slightest doubt as
to his guilt. Quite number OF the Jury
had been Union soldiers whom knew
well in the army-and know that the
criticisms Of certain newspaper correspon-
dents do them great injustice.
Very Respectfully.

EnE Conservative party of Virginia, has
Issued an address ito the friends Of the
public schools" wherein is set forth the
view that, under the McCulloch settlement,
the school money will be entirely protect
ed from further diversion into other chan.
nels, and that, with the present rate of
taxation, the income OF the State will be
ample to meet the interest on the debt,
theexpenses Of the Government and the
payments to the school fund. The address
very property directs attention to the
anomalous position Of the readjusters,
who, while pretending to be the friends Of
popular education, are recommending the
continued violation OF the public faith. It
IS pertinently asked il the boys Of vir-
ginia should be taught "as their first les
son that State may renounce its obliga-
tionss2" From the tone Of the press Of vir-
ginia, in dealing with the debt question,
it is apparent that the opponents of the
McCulloch settlement are not making
sensible headway.
