il the frs. stages the manufacture Of wood
pulp for paper poplar was regarded as pre-emi-
pently adapted for the purpose, and for consid-
cradle time it was thought that only that wood,
Eastwood, and few other kinds could be ground
into a suitable pulp. Now, however, machines
are made which turn out pulp with equal facility
from all kinds of wood The longest fibre is
made from willow. Eastwood and poplar ranking
next, respectively. Cedar fir, and hemock are
said to work about alike; maple has fibre short

A LEADING business man of Philadelphia
was recently found who was in favor of a
revenue tariff, and now prominent Pitts
burg manufacturer has been discovered who
says that free trade would benefit American
manufacturers by enlarging their markets,
and benefit their laborers by giving them
constant employment and increasing the
purchasing power of their wages. With
Philadelphia and Pittsburg joining the free
traders, Messrs. Malone and Riddleberger
will begin to think they have been little
too previous in proclaimiug themselves pro-
tectionists, and Governor Cameron that he
made an mprudent remark when he prom.
ised a thousand dollars to the republican
campaign in Pennsylvania if it had pro-
tective plank in its platform.

people through circulars sent outby Malone.
He denounced Malone aud the agents
which Malone had sent out to gather up
vile SANDERS to be published to the world,
and, when dwelling upon this matter, took
occasion to say that "he was responsible for
all that he had said"
The discussion gradually drfted towards
the Danville difficulty, and Mr. Keen fairly
riddled Lakewood with argument until
finally the gentleman from Henrico declar-
ed that he knew nothing of the affair.
The discussion was the most exciting OF
the session, and several times the Speaker
had to zap the House to order, and announce
that unless the applause in the galleries
was stopped he would have them cleared.
Duff Green, Mahoneite, arose to reply to
Mr.. Keen but was called to order several
times because his remarks were not german
to the question under consideration, which
was the minority report of the committee.
Pending the consideration of the minority
report the House adjourned.

LETTER IRON RICHMOND.

Especial Correspondence of the Alexandria GAZETTE
RICHMOND, Va, January 2l.-Whilethere
has been so much said about the Danville
affair in the newspapers and by politicians
since the unfortunate difficulty occurred,
not single word has been said about it in
the Legislature until to-day. 1t was left
for Hazlewood, Mahoneite member from
Henrico, to start the fire and to put the ball
Of an excited debate in motion. 1t was when
the minority report in the contested cleo
ton case Of Reynolds, democrat, against
Boiling, Mahoneile, from the counties OF
Buckingham and Cumberland, came up.
| Lakewood signed the minority report, and
while the matter was under consideration
he, unfortunately for himself took occasion
to say something about blood at Danville
Lakewood continued for some minutes af-
| forwards and concluded without being in.
| terrupted. The member from Henrico EN-
deavored to show that the democratic party
was the negro party, or rather he attempted
to unload some of his sarcasm at the ex-
pense of the democrats. After he had con.
cluded and had taken a seat where the Ma
honeites were the thickest an old man
from the democratic side arose and address
ed the chair. There was something in the
old mans appearance that indicated an APP
preaching storm. 1t was the member from
Pittsylvania or rather one of the delegates
from that county. He asked HaZlewood to
repeat his exact words about blood at Dan
vile. Hazewood in reply got of a brei
speech about the Danville difficulty Keen
came back ut him with an array Of facts
and figures which completely crushed the
a. lint bafora loprr 10
the representative from Pittsylvania turned
towards Mr.. Lakewood, and assuming a
dramatic attitude and at the same time
shower of invective upon the political actions
of Lakewood, of Malone and Of Mahone's
"agents" which has not been equalled thus
far this session.
As Mr.. Keen proceeded the excitement
increased Lakewood had gone over to his
seat which was in front of Keen. Both
were standing up. The former was reply
ing to questions propounded by the latter.
The delegate from Pttsyvania was prepar-
ed for the occasion. Hazewood was assist
ed by Ross and Rossler on the Mahonete
side. Question after question followed each
other, aud the member from Pittsylvania
replied to them as fast as they came. The
debate was becoming personal. Everybody
seemed to think that the result would be
something more than is generally seen in
the Legislature. The replies made by the
delegate from Pittsylvania put the gallery
into state of excitement The delegate
from Pittsylvania was cheered and the ap-
plause was longer than usual and quite
loud. The Speaker announced that it had
to be stopped or else he would have the
galleries cleared. Pending debate the House
adjourned.
A good many members are so violently
opposed to having an extra session that the
indications now are that an attempt will be
made to push business through.

MRS. ASTOR'S GREAT BALL.

The great ball of Mrs. William Astor
which has been the theme of gossip and
speculation in upper tendon of New York
for months past, came Off last night. Over
one thousand invitations had been sent out
and throng of richly clad ladies and gen.
tlemen crowded the ample rooms of the As
tor mansion. Flowers hung in profusion
everywhere, and the most lavish elegance
was observable in every particular. Mrs.
AstoT was assisted in receiving her guests by
Miss Astor and Mrs Roosevelt and several
other ladies. The toilets of these ladies
were inarvels OF the dressmaker's art. Mrs.
Astor wore magnificent toilet of white sat-
in, made with long train. and deliberately
embroidered in design of violets of floss
and silver. Her ornaments were diamonds
Miss Astor appeared iu green tulle over sat
in, and wore pearl ornaments Mrs. Roose.
Welt wore white tulle with green velvet and
silver made with long train, with diamond
and pearl jewels.
The German began Immediately after the
supper, and the favors were exceptionally
handsome. Those for the ladies included
bracelets of silver in variety of designs
some in antique style with pendant medal
lions; some representing chains Of
bright silver beads and plain bands, and
long silver pins for the hair; some in de.
sign Of sword with crown set
with Rhine stones near the hilt, and others like
miniature shepherds crooks. There were lace
pins, too Of the same metal and in great variety
of form, some being in antique style. For the
gentlemen amoug other things there were scarf
pins Of oxidized silver representing claw and
| holding black pearls 1t is generally conceded
| that this ball surpassed even that recently given
by Vanderbilt.

The BILL to restore General Porter to his
rank in the army is u measure proposed by
men who were in the Northern army dur
ing the civil war, aud who desire to right
a wrong that done comrade in the
heat Of excitement, when he was made a
scape goat in order to mitigate the cha
grin of defeat, to relieve themselves, and to
satisfy popular clamor-whch latter, &C
cording to SO high au authority as Mr..
Matthew Arnold Instead of being the
voice Of God is nearly always wrong. The
bill has the recommendation of mill :
tary court of inquiry, and has the approval
of nearly all the survivors of the men who
approved the sentence of the court martial
that dismissed him The Southern Con-
gressmen have no personal feeling in the
matter, but being disposed to be concliatory
and to do favors to their opponents in the
war when they can, WILL with the probable
exception of Mr.. John Wise, vote for the
bill. Yet, because such is their intention,
the bill is termed by its radical opponents
rabel bill. The cruel war will never be over
until the republican party shall become a
thing of the past.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY %, 1884.

SOMEBODY ought to be made to pay the
penalty of such criminal negligence, care
lessness or ignorance as that which caused
the lossJ of the steamship City of Columbus
last Friday morning. The lossof the ship is
not so much to be regretted. but the dis
tructiou to human life, when the ship struck
the rock and went down, is truly appalling
The Captain was not at his post. The pilot
who was left at the wheel was either IN
COMPETENT or careless. One survivor states
that this pilot said to him that he liked
the course Of the vessel and fastened the
wheel, and as he was very cold he went to
the smoke stack to warm himselt" he
remained there Is or 20 minutes, and when
he returned to his post he found that the
ship had veered around" We have nothing
Int the severest censure to express against
officials whose criminal negligence was SO
manifest. at time when a hundred pas
senpers mad contided in their ability and IL
delity and committed their lives to their COM
potency and vigilance during the voyage.
And then the manner in which the officers
and crew acted when the ship struck the
rocks! They had no thought OF the pas
sepgers, but appropriated to themselves all
available means of escape, and not single
lady on board was saved. One hundred
lives lost! The Commander absent from
his post; nobody looking out the wheelsman
deserving the helm and gone into another
apartment Of the boat TO warm himself; the
helm fastened with rope; the ship tray
crsing n dangerous coast and two miles oil
of the safe course--how could it have been
otherwise? We end with the beginning
aud repeat that somebody ought to be made
to pay the penalty Of such criminal negli-
yence. Human life is too cheap IN this coun-
try. We need two or three emphatic exam
plrs to make officers aud corporations more
mindful Of the value of human life. There
QUE Int to be some power to strike nigh aud
bring men who are responsible for these
heartrcnding disasters to realize the conse-
uuences Of such wicked and stupid neglect
Let corporations and men in charge under
stand that eternal vigilance is the price Of
the safety of those under their care and their
own safety from penalties severe aud de-
served for neglect Of duty.

Mr.. RIDDLEBERGER essays the vain at
tempt of sustaining his vote in opposition to
the ratification of the Mexican treaty, which
provides for free trade with that country,
and consequently for cheap sugar, upon the
ground that that treaty will bring Mexican
tobacco into competition with that of Vir
GINA. Mexican tobacco is as different from
that of Virginia as that of Connecticut is,
and would compete with it no more than
the latter does.

THE DEMOCRATS are not opposed to real
civil service reform, but to that spurious
article which, while loud in its professions
o. improving the civil service of the coun-
try, allows scalawag U. S. Senator to con-
troll the federal officers in State as though
they were his individual employees, and
which sanctions the infraction of U. S.
statutes by permitting the collection Of po-
litical assessments upon the employees of
the Government.

ACCORDING to the bill now before the
Legislature for redistricting the State for

eight of the districts for themselves and give
the democrats two. But their plans like
those of mice went agley.
