HOME INDUSTRY. The large quantity
of sheet iron roofing piled along the pave
ment in front of the Picker building on
Augusta street this week attracted much
attention from passers by and inquiries
elected the information that Z 800 pounds
was going to Buffalo Gap and 1000 pounds
to Ferrol to be used in roofing the large
buildings at the furnaces located at these
points. This material was shipped by the
.enterprising house of Geo. W. May & Co..
sOf this city.
The iron is brought to this place and
prepared for use at their factory in the
I'lecker building, by being coated with the
cole brated fire proof Iron Side paint which
rende Is it absolutely fire and water proof.
This brsiness has become an important
feature OF Staun,+ on industry. The COM
PAW are pushing il with their character
istic energy, have JUS finished large JOB
at Lowmoor where 36,ho 90 feet OF roohng
was used and besides the force az ferfol
they have lot Of hands at \ YORK at Goshen
and another at Millboro with as many OF
ders in as can be filled by the Isl OF Au-
gust.
There are II tons of ground iron ore IN
the factory here. This is subjected 10
further preparation, mixed with oil anu
applied to the iron which is brought here
lin large quantities from the works in
Pennsylvania, as much as twenty tons
now being en- route to this place.

rounding counties can now be furnished

having worthless article imposed on

The failure of the kalloch impeachment
suit is followed by the release of kearney
through the de cision of the Supreme Coulto
California, reversing the act ion of the Supe-
lior Court where the police magistrates SEN
tence had been sustained. Short of actual
tangible violence or assaults in The direction
Of such violence, there are no ollelses, it
seems, Of which the law as administered in
California takes cogniZance. Pointing Il gun
at a man is an assault punishable by law.
without its being necessary to wait until the
gun is discharged and the victim slain. The
threat in this instance is considered valid.
But threats made orally do not come within
reach of the criminal statutes. Threatening
to s'burn and hang" and melting a mob to
deeds of violence against the persons and
property of others is not all indiclable Offences,
it appears. Insuch cases the party threatened
must wait until the gun actually goes off
until his property is destroyed or until he
himself has been treated to a little of the
hemp so literally prescribed as an Alternative
by the excellent Mr.. Kearney before he can
appeal for redress or protection to the law.
Decisions such rs those rendered in the Kali
loch and kearney cases are doubtless in strict
compliance with the law, but it is just posi-
BILE that they serve to illustrate a defect in the
law as it exists. The belief that the law WAS,
defective would lead to want Of confidence in
its efficacy as a due protection to those living
under it and this lack of con idence would
first be manifested by the IN ovements of capt.
tai capital proverbially timid in such emer-
gencies. That it has been so manifested
is conclusively shown in the fact that since
the agitation known as Kearneyism began
upwards of forty millions of dollars have been
withdrawn from California to seek elsewhere
more secure investment. So much does Cal
ifornia Owe kearneyisin. Another favor
claiming gratitude is the fact that the money
power of that State is ranged on the side of
Grant, on the side of the :sstrong man" in the
pending Presidential contest. Growing tired
of the ever repeated threats of violence
against their persons, or pillage of their prop
erty, and dlsregarding their individual politi-
cal preferences, the capitalists of California
are pretty much united in support of the man
under whose administration, however defect.
i've In other respects, they would at least
enjoy security from communism. And it is
not only in California that this protest against
Kearneyism makes itself felt. Within a few
days a national convention to make a noml.
/ nation for the Presidency, is to meet at Chi
cago. If the result of its session be the
violence offered American traditions and the
disregard of the wishes of the better classe:

Tsle W hiteakor Case.

The Whitaker case has reached what is
doubtless its final stage, through the report Of
the experts employed to examine the hand
writing. They were furnished with the note
of warning which Whitaker said he had re-
ceived and miscellaneous specimens of the
writing of all the cadets, in numbered lots J.;
but these lots were, as We understand it.
differently numbered when furnished to each
expert. The five experts have now reported,
agreeing that the writer of the note of warn
ing was also the writer Of Whittaker's papers.
A still more startling report was made by one
of them, Mr.. ~Southworth. He found that
the paper on which the note Of warming was
written was torn off from = sheet on which
Whitaker had begun a letter to his mother,
and this from another on which there was in
continuation some other writing of Whitta-
ker's. In fact the note of warning was in
one or other of two ways connected with
three pieces of Whittaker's acknowledged
handwriting. The announcement of this
discovery produced a great sensation in court.
Mr.. S~outhworth, the expert, who is an elderly
man and, by the way, All old abolitionist, was
so affected by it, after making it, that he took to
his bed. Whitaker seems to have borne it
coolly, and is evidently a young man of great
nerye and aplomb. Tie case against HIM
now consists of this unanimous report of the
experts of Mr.. Southworth's additional dis
covery of the fact that though, according tc
his own story, hit OF the head by an Indian
club, his head bore no mark, though the clut
had blood on it; that though hit on the nos.
with a l~ooking-glass, the glass was not broker
or the skin of his nose abraded; that though
clicked into Inconsistencies by pressure or
his throat, his throat bore no signs of sucl
pressure that though cadets were sleeping il
the rooms all about him, he made no outer,
or other nOise.-NdtiOn.

THE WEEKLY MINER.

The belief that General Grant Is perseVer-
ing in his candidacy merely to prove that he
has not lost his old place in the hearts OF his
countrymen, and that as soon rs the nomina-
ton is rendered him he will gracefully and
gratefully decline is quite frequently e1-
pressed, especially by Republicans Of no de-
cided leaning towards a third term. What
grounds there can be for this opinion it would
be difficult to say, considering that Grant has
repossessed himself himself in an eminent
degree of his old virtue Of keeping his mouth
securely closed. We suspect, though, bat
the opinions of our Republican friends are
guided by their wishes in the matter. But if
nothing respecting his intentions is to be
learned from the words or actions OF General
Grant himself, there are certain incidents
connected with his candidacy the understand
inc of which may be of some assistance in
sowing the latest and most interesting politi-
cal conundrum. Among these incidents we
may assign a prominent place to the fact that
a daily campaign paper. Truth, published i'll
New York, and ably and adroitly working in
Grants interest, is scattered broadcast over
the. land, "free gratis for nothing" Our
readers can judge for themselves how much
this particular feature of the campaign may
be considered as indicating a probable with
drawal.
