A New Steel Gun.

A correspondent writes to the New
York Herald from Annapolis very in
teresting account of certain experiments
that have been made there during the
last tive months with new style of gun.
This gun was made out of an old one by
putting on jacket and hoops and a
bronze extension piece to lengthen the
bore. II might have been expected that
with the heavy charges that have been
used in it this composite cannon woulG
have gone 20 pieces in short time but
it has held together without perceptible
signs Of weakening The experiments
with it have cleared up certain doubtful
points, and the experience gained will
prove exceedingly valuable in hand
ling the guns of the new steel cruisers,
which are to be of American design and
manufacture. The size of the charge Of
powder has been determined quite sat
isfaetorily, and very high velocity Of
shell was obtained with smaller charge
than is used in English guns of the same
calIbeT. For instance, in an experiment
by Sir William Armstrong, muzzle vel
oeity OF 2,297 feet per second was OBJ
tanned with Il tons pressure; at An.
napolis, with gun Of the same caliber, a
muzze velocity of , 1893 feet per second
was recorded with a pressure OF only
1872 tons. A 6S-pound projectile fred
with charge Of half its weight, furnished
a muzzle velocity of 2,l20 feet per Sec
ond, with a pressure cf fourteen tons
The range of this prniectiie at
a high elevation, is about six
miles.

LINCOLN ON MCCLELLAN.
A "Reminiscences Related by Ex-Gov
Austin Blair, OF Michigan,
No., tl,o natroit (N5icb \ Frea Press

- tACAAbCN ~ 80
Austin Blair, OF Michigan,
From the Detroit (Mich.) Free Press.
In a recent address at Bellevllle,
Mich, ex-Gov. Austin Blair. gave an
account of the convention of governors
of northern states that met mt Altoona,
Penn. at the time of the issuing of the
Emancipation Proclamation by Pres.
Lincoln, in 1862. The convention was
called to bring an influence to bear up
ON President Lincoln to induce him to
issue a proclamation or do some act
that should set at liberty the 100000
slaves; but the president outwitted the
% governors by issuing the proclama-
ton the same day their convention met.
The governors then decided to go on to
Washington and present to the presI-
dent, not the urgent resolutions they
had intended, but an address compll-
menting him upon the step he had
taken. This address was prepared in an
able manner by Gov. Andrew, OF Massa-
chusetts, who read i: 70 President Lin
coin as he sat at his dt>l, while the gov
ernors were seated around the room.
After that an incident happened that
Gov. Blair said he had never before re.
lated to any one. Gov. Kirkwood of
Iowa, since United States senator and
secretary of the interior, rose and said:
"Mr. President should be delight
ed could | return to my home and say
to the people of Iowa that the president
of the United States believes Gen.
George b. Mcclellan is royal man."
He branched off upon other subjects
connected with the war, and then
closed by repeating with more empha-
sis: II should be glad, Mr.. President to
be able to tell the people of Iowa that
you believe in the loyalty and patriotism
of George b. McCle Ian"
Taking his feet down from the desk
upon which they had been resting, Mr..
Lincoln sprang to his feet and straight
ened up apparently two inches taller
than usual, and said, with much force
and apparent eXcitability: Loyal!
George b. Mcclellan is as loyal as any
one ofyou." Then stopping moment
the presidents face assumed its natu-
rally pleasant look, and he continued in
a natural and pleasing tone: IN tell
Won gentlemen, Gen. Mcclellan is an
exceedingly well-informed General, and
is very careful, in fact, too careful, and
the great trouble with him is that when
he wins victory he doesn't know what
10 do with it,"
"Why not try somebody else2" mildly
suggested Gov. Blair.
ave might do that and might lose an
army by it" was the quick response of
the president, which Gov. Blair admitted
completely endorsed him."

Manitoba IS in bad way financially,
at the present time, owing to collapse
Of the specializing bubble, that was in
flated beyond sense or reason. But the
greatest sufferers are not in Mantle ba,
but the bankers and capitalists of the
eastern provinces, who freely lent
money totraders and spectators. The
banks have had up to within year the
most unbounded faith in the Manitoba
loans. The progressive policy of the
government confirmed them in this
faith, and the influx ola very good type
Of farmers supplemented it. But now it
is admitted that a very large percentage
of the emigrants are lost in passing
through the states, and others return
after a season or two, battling the eli
mate and the high freight rates. The
bank people find that in Manitoba men
put in in dollars and take out in cents,
that the loans are not safe, and that
Toreclosing on the wilderness is no easy
task. The orge of speculation, carried
to an extreme seldom witnessed in the
United States, has been succeeded by q
stagnation that will severely tax the
courage and patience of the most hope
ful. But the country will probably
emerge in time, from the present shad
ow and attain degree of real prOsperi-
ty, but not until fictitious values have
been materially reduced and enterprise
substituted for reckless speculation.

The startling statement is pa blished
that since the LIST of last January sixty
five criminals have been hanged by due
process of law, while seventy-one have
been hanged or shot without it. In
January there were six, in Fe bruary fif-
teen, in March three. in April eleven,
in May seven, in June nineteen, and in
July ten. At first sight this statement
of the operations of the lynch law dur
ing the last six months would seem to
be an exaggeration. but careful readers
of the daily record of crime must admit
that il comes very near the truth. 1t is
a sad commentary on the lax admins
tratiou of criminal law lin this country,
not only that so many lynchings should
have occurred but that none ofthe lynch
ers have been punished, for they are no
less violators of law than their victims.
But the prime cause of this condition of
things is found in THE popular distrust
Of ordinary forms of law, which seem to
give the criminal every advantage for
escaping conviction, and when convict
ed, so many chances of escaping ade-
quate punishment, through the aboli-
ton of the death penalty and unwise
executive clemency. The administra-
ton Of justice should be marked by GER
taiuty and CELEBRITY, as in England and
other countries, where lynch law is
scarcely ever resorted to for the punish
ment Of crime and all officials are he'd
to strict accountability for the due exc
cution of criminal laws.

Grant Would Not Hang Lee.

From the Wilrni1 gton, n. c. Star.
We beard Some time ago from a Wash
ingtonian story that is so creditable to
Grant that we will give it. We had
heard it before, but not in shape calcu-
lated to give us confidence in its anthem
.city. But, as we last heard it, and be-
cause of the Enthusiastically attending
it, we no longer discredit it, After Lin
coins assassination there was a growing
sentiment among extreme men in the
D5rth that the southern leaders must be
punished, and the more famous men
hanged. A cabinet meeting WIS called
and it was resolved to hang at least Gen
eral Lee and some one or two others.
Grant. at the head of the army, was sent
for, and was told that was the action Of
the cabinet. He deliberately unbuckled
his sword, and laying it upon the table
said: My honor as akoldier and man
Is pledged to General Lee, and if you
take the step proposed, at once sur
render my sword, resign my commits
sion, and go before the American pe0-
pie" This firmness and promptness
brought. the extreme men to their senses,
and the matter was dropped. We
are assured that the story is trustworthy
and it comes through q channel that en-
titles it to credence. 1t Is honorable to
Grant and shows him in a much grand
er light than anything he has ever done
as president.

Married Actresses and Their

From the RnSfnn TraNnlar

FiOlH Tic lSUstbiA iIAFFiSAs
There is a stage tradition tn t when
an actress marries she looses her at
tractiyeness with the general public, or
at least with the main portion of it, and
perform under her maiden name which
may be her own, or simply nom d J
the. ere. There is moreover, a preju-
dice against the husbands of actresses;
they are considered as a general thing
and in many instances the facts war
rant the consideration-to be rather
worthless lot, who live on the earnings
of their wives, and are altogether too
lazy to contribute anything towards tho
family expenses. 1t is true, as New
ork paper says, that sit is pitlful end

Mrs, Jeffrey lie Wis, the sister of Cathe.

out so badly that his wife had to
leave him and return to the

minstrel, named Gibbons. Mrs. Marie
