and commission merchant, Of this city, made
an assignment yesterday; Isaac Eichburg, as
signee. Liabilities not definitely known. A
large quantity of land In the county of AleXan-
dria was advertised TO be sold yesterday ut the
county court house In Alexandria for non pay
ment OF taxes. About forty parcels were sold,
mostly to non-residents.
The county of Alexandria Is the smallest in
the state. IL has an area of about forty square
miles. 1t extends along the Potomac river on
the west a distance of about ten miles. Of
proved land 1t contains about 10000 acres.
The lands ofthis county are rendered very
valuable as truck farms or market gardens by
their proximity to the markets OF Washington,
Georgetown, and Alexandria, which afford a
ready market for all crops that can be pro-
duecd. In the last few years northern men
raising fine crops of grapes, strawberries,
peaches, &c. The soil and climate are emf
nently adapted to fruit culture.

The Boston Iron Works Deny Any De-
fects in Their Workmanship.
On the 18th instant the NATIONAL RE-
PUBLICAN published the following, obtained
from what was deemed a reliable source;
Foreman Davis and two officials OF the Navy
Department have Just returned from a tour Of
inspection Of the ordnance works of private
parties at Boston and West Point. Their mis-
sion was secret one, and their report is care
fully guarded II Is understood that they were
sent 10 inspect several six and eight inch steel
Guns, which proved TO be defective. What
the committee did or reported may or may not
be known In time. Speculation has 1t that the
report Is anything but nattering to contract
work.
The article was productive of the follow
ing reply:
EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: In your issue
of the 18TH instant you state that Foreman
Davis md two officials of the Navy Depart
ment visited our works ON secret mission, and
that their report is carefully guarded, &c I;
that speculation has 1t that the report is any
thing but flattering to contract work.
How much evidence yon require to warrant
you In publishing speculatons calculated to
damage private parties cannot say, of course,
but wish TO say with emphasis that there is
not particle OF truth in the intimation you
give to the public that the ordnance work for
the Navy Department done at our establish
mcnt was not satisfactory. On the contrary,
Foreman Davis and the other officers will
lthtlly tllhb nv DttttT Nus ever
been seen by them in any establishment and
the fact can be abundantly proven by other
expert testimony as well.
The mission of the navy officials was no
secret, but was well understood to be simply to
pass upon the question. Whether or not certain
seams or imperfections discovered under the
electric light in the finished bores OF two OF the
C-inch steel guns we have lately finished were
Of sufficient magnitude to warrant the con-
domination of these guns from service? These
defects had nothing to do with the workman
ship, but existed In the steel when furnished
TO us by the Navy Department, and were of the
same character es the defects which recently
caused the rejection Of q now 6.inch steel rifle,
finished in tho same way at the Washington
navy yard, and which Foreman Davis knows
all about, as he superintendent the work him.
self Respectfully,
BosToN, Nov. IS, 1886.
These works built the guns that sank the
Alabama, crippled the Merrimac, and dis
abled the rebel ram Albemarle; also built
the 12.inch rifle now at Sandy Hook, which
has been fired 1877 times with charge OF
each round of 1856 pounds OF powder and
SEQ pounds Of solid shot.

THE NAVAL ACADEMY.
Tho Superintendent Proposes Certain
BenefcIal Changes.

Beneficial Changes.
Nearly all of the annual report Of Com
mander w. T. Sampson, superintendent Of
the United States naval academy, is de-
voted to an argument in support Of pro-
posed change in the academic course. He
calls attention to the fact that the first four
years Of the course are now devoted chiefly
TO good general education, the technical
course beginning In the fourth year and
continuing In professional line through
the fifth and sixth years, during which
naval cadets servo on board cruising vessels.
II is the opinion Of the superintendent
that those who are selected for appointment
TO the navy are fitted to begin at the end
OF the four years course their work In the
navy, and should DO commissioned at that
time In the lowest grade Of the corps to
which they shall be appointed. 1t is also
shown that under the existing system,
when congressional districts are restricted
to one candidate every six year, one.thlrd
OF the boys are never elibible for admission
TO the United States navy, while reduction
Of the course from six years to four would
give each district the appointment OF a
cadet once in four years, instead OF once In
six years.
With q view 10 the adoption OF his plan,
the superintendent submits with his report
, the draft OF bill intended to carry II into
effect, and says that the change proposed,
while securing better results for the naval
service, also result In an annual saving
to the government Of over $500 II Is
stated that the change recommended is
strongly indorsed by the academic board
and by the naval service generally.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The stock market
to-day, though falling below yesterday in
amount Of business done, was still ex-
tremely active, and during the early part
displayed the same irregularity and fever
ishness noticeable yesterday. The trans
actions for all except few stocks were
made upon lower plane. Considerable
selling Of long stock early in the day Great
ing general weakness throughout the list.
The room traders turned bears for the time
being, and mainly through their operations
a break Of 10 per cent. was made In Mem
phis and Charleston, and the heavlness
spread to the southern specialtles.
Reading was the great feature OF the day,
and, under a good demand, great part OF
which was for inside account, Il succeeded
In reaching higher figures than ever yet at
tained, the transactions at the highest
prices OF the day, toward the close, being
extremely heavy. The reassuring advlces
from Baltimore created a renewed demand
for Jersey Central, and in point OF strength
II soon became the banner stock OF the
usually active list. The rumors 10 regard
to contest for control Of New England
still continue, and that stock also was very
active and strong to-day. Almost every
thing on the active list is lower this even
ing.
Money on call has been active, ranging
from to 10, last loan at 3, and closing al
asked. Sterling exchange is dull aud
steady. Actual business at Ash to Ash for
60day bills, and 4S4f to 4s42 for demand.
