/ The Ohio Senatorial Ccmplication-Hon.
A. II. Stephens on Congressional AT,
fairs-The Ohio Complication.
WAsuINGrOS, November l9-The
Ohio Senatorial complication will be apt
to give the Republicans great deal OF
trouble before they are through with 1t.
/ The case attracts much attention among
| LAWYERS here, and their views OF its legal
aspects are very diverse. In speaking
of the matter today, Senator Thurman
sad that the Democrats would not ex-
ert themselves - help the Republicans
| out OF the difficulty. lie said that no
matter who was chosen, or how or when
| il was done, before the 4th o! March the
case would have TO go before The Senate
Committee of Privileges and Elections,
composed OF q majority Of Democrats,
and many of them would have remarks
to offer on the subject before the Gppll-
cant was admitted. Democrats are
counting on controlling the Organlza'
ton, and the longer they can argue the
Ohio case, and keep the new Senator
waiting in thecold corridors of the Capt.
tol, the better they will be satisfied. A
Democratic Senator is credited with
saving that the case was so peculiar
under the statutes that there was solid
month OF good talk in it.
Senator Thurman holds that the Ohio
Legislature cannot elect until the fourth
OF March.
Garfield to Be at the Capital Soon.
Gen. Garfield is expected TO arrive
here next Tuesday night, and will re-
main quietly at his nome, on Thirteenth
and streets. 10 Is generally believed
| that upon this visit he will see Secretary
| Sherman, and the two will come to a
frank understanding about the Treasury
portfolio. The belief is that Gen.
Garfield will tender Mr.. Sherman the
.cretaryship aud that Mr.. Sherman
will accept. OF this. however, of course
nothing positive is known.
Mr.. stephens on tho Situation.
IIon. Alex. II. Stephens expresses the
opinion that there will be no extra ses-
sion of the new Congress. The persons
who are anxious to get hold OF the House
offices are very c'amOrOus tor II, but 1t
is possible that they uay he able
to possess their souls in patience until
the regular session. Mr.. stevens thinks
tha. all Necessary legislation will be en-
acted this winter, and there will be no
public need for an extra session. He
saws that the Democratic minority vii!
be- numerousand powerful, aud the new
President will prefer to have his admin
lstraliOn fairly under way before con-
gress meets. Mr. Stephens SAYS he

The Iron Trade.

An alleged commercial paper printed
at Pittsburgh, Pa, which mixes com
merce and politics in the proportion o.
about one part Of the former to ten oI
the latter, submits few remarks on the
iron trade. 1t attributes ",hs former
disturbance OF that interest" to political
uncertainties, and the later disturbance
OF another sort TO political certainties
"An improvement in the demand for
iron was noticeable" it says, "after the
October elections, but it was still eau.
tions and conservative movement
Since the decisive event in the
early part Of this month, however
the iron trade has assumed the firm and
buoyant tone natural to the enlargement
of the regular demand, reinforced by
large transactions, like the placing OF
the contracts for $4,000 tons o: steel
rails referred 10 elsew here, or the pur.
chase of 10000 tons Of Bessemer pig re-
ported to have taken place last week.
Such orders as these, coming in a mar.
ket already crowded with business of a
more usual character, has lsic) a natural
tendency to strengthen prices, and
shows the confidence with which the
buyers of iron regard the future, now
that political uncertainties are out OF the
way"
Still the Pittsburgh iron organ is very
confident that there will be 10 such
"Doom" in iron as that of last winter
and spring. Admitting that the press
ing orders now pouring in upon the
iron trade are a repetition OF what oc-
Cured last wi ter, it still maintains that
the iron trade then nursed the advance,
as it will not do again. 1t claims that
the experience OF last winter and spring
taught the iron trade better than TO
send prices away mp beyond the point
where it would pay to import iron,
thereby stimulating importations not
only upon orders but upon spccula-
tion. 1t will be the policy OF the
iron men hereafter, We are assured, TO
hold prices within the range which will
not attract importations and which will
not check the demand. BY pursuing
this policy ;hey expect to lay the ioun
dation for long season OF prosperity.
To state it plainly, they have made up
their minds that permanent monopoly
OF the American market, secured by
keeping well within the broad margin
given them by the import duties, will
pay better in the long run than any
temporary "boom." This is undoubt-
edly a sound view from their EdpOint,

CoLUMBUs, November 1.-THE Colum-
bus Buggy Company OF this city Is one
of the largest in this country, ard over
go voters are employed by its managers.
The large majority of them are Demo
Gratis. The company sells nearly all Of
its work in the South, and has builtup
an immense business, and its managers
have made fortunes.
Before the late election they notified
their employees that il Hancock was
elected they would shut down the work.,
while If Garfield was elected they would
not only be able To- maintain present
prices 0rlabor, utincreasc them. Their
LAWYER further posted them how to man
age the workmen and still evade the
statutes A census was taken OF the
voters, and printed lists, with name,
age and residence, were placed at all tie
polling places where any OF them voted,
and under the eye OF the Republican
ticket holder and challenger. BY this
means not single one OF them could
vote the Democratic ticket without be-
ing detected, and feeling that detection
meant dismissal, nearly or quite AGO
Democrats voted the Republican ticket,
and Columbus, instead OF givinga DEM
ocratic majority, gave Republican ma
ioritv, as many other Republican en-
pIovers adopted similar methods.
Now the employees OF the Buggy Com,
paEv have been inlUrne Ell that they VIII

ON the workingmen and make heavy
discount to the company, so that the

down from 20to p per cent, IN addition
to being disfranchised at the polls.
The Republicans having obtained q
majority at the late election in the city
are Systematically at work 10 secure II
for the future. The plan is THIS; Al
the wealthy Republicans and RepuOli-
can firm are discharging white laDorers,
where skilled labor Is not required, ana
filling their places with negroes ifom
Kentucky and the two Nirglnlas. Those
who are being discharged Will be COM
pelled TO go elsewhere Tor employ
ment. and from 500 to 700 negroes VIII
take their places on the voting
lists. The white laborers cannot be de-

LoSDoS, November l9.-The Times,

no doubt whatever that the power OF
arresting few active organizers and
agents OF the terrorism in Ireland would
bring immediate and enormous relief,
not only to peaceable persons, but to
many OF the docile peasantry who have
been coerced to join in the agitation.

If the cabinet or majority of its mem-
bers should be compelled to accept
what, as we have said,
the Irish executive deems indispensable
for the performance OF its functions.
We trust there will be no unwise at.
tempt to obstruct or censure that course.
II the government should not deem it
necessary to apply for extra powers it is
apparent that they must be prepared to
