Important Decision.

A dispatch dated Pittsburg Sept. TO-
contains notice of the following important
decision for the people of Virginia, and this
district especially. 1t says: 1.-The litiga-
tion pending for the last six years between
Jacob Reese, of this city, the inventor of
the Basic steel process, and the Bessemer
Steel Company, limited, which has pre-.
vented the use of the Basic steel process
in the Southern States, owing to an in
junction obtained by the Bessemer Steel
Company, has been decided by the Mas
ter. who reports that the injunction be
dissolved and the bill dismissed at the cost
of the Bessemer Steel company.
The effect of this decision will largely
enhance the value of Virginia iron ore
properties, especially in the South River
District, as the ores there are peculiarly
adapted to the Basic process for the man
ufacture of steel Some years ago Mr..
Reese visited this portion of Virginia and
made minute examination Of the ores of
the Vesuvius property and adjacent lands
and pronounced them of su perior quality
for use in the Basic process-the phos-
phorus being neither too high nor too low.
OF course we have no means of know
ing whether there will be any further
complications growing out of this decis-
ion, OF whether the patent will be left un-
embarrassed, so that it can be utilized in
the manufacture of Basic steel, wherever
the ores may be found suitable for that
purpose. II it should bessleft free, under
Mr.. Reese's control, it is not an unreason-
able conclusion that the attention of capt.
talists and iron and steel men will be
drawn to this section, with view to steel
manufacture, under this patent. We shall
await with interest further information
relating to thi matter.

Republican Victory in Maine

The election which took place in Maine
last Tuesday, for State officers and a leg
islature which elects U. S. Senator,
demonstrated that the Republicans of the
Pine Tree State are as stalwart as ever,
and have achieved great victory over the
Democratic party, as well as the odds and
ends Of all other factions. The returns
indicate Republican plurality of from
-, 900 to $4,000 for Joseph r. Bodwell for
Governor, from 5000 to 5000 more than
was looked for this year. The entire Re
publican delegation to Congress has been re-
elected. The fight in the District against
Mr.. Reed resulted in largely increasing his
plurality. From two-thirds to three
fourths of the members Of the Legislature
are Republicans, thus making the election
Of Republican United States Senator
certain. In fourteen or fifteen of the six
teen counties the Republicans have elected
most or all of the county officers. While
the total vote this year is smaller than in
Presidential years, it is large for an ssoff'
year. The Republican plurality has been
decreased in some counties, but in many
parts Of the State it is larger than in 1884.
The third party vote will reach about
8, 500.
Notwithstanding this very remarkable
result, under the circumstances, the New
York Times affects to believe that it
shows Mr.. Blaine's waning strength and
a Norfolk paper heads the returns" Blaine
Severely Rebuked."
Mr.. Blaine spoke thirteen times during
the canvass, and wherever he addressed
the people the Republican vote was in
creased over other off years. The major
ity given is the largest for the past eigh-
teen years except one, and shows Blaine's
increased popularity where he is best
known. 1t was confidently claimed that
Hon. Thos. B. Reed, would be defeated fol
Congress, but his majority is double wha,
it was two years ago, and demonstrates
that the people of Maine know good
thing when they have it. He is one of the
ablest, II not the ablest, member of Con
gress. and is the leader of the Republicans
in that body. Three cheers for the Re
publicans of Maine.
