An iron manufacturer of Pennsylvania
has just invested million dollars in iron
furnaces in Alabama. Northern invasions
of this kind are very acceptable. If there
had been more prior to 1860, perhaps there
would have been no ''late unpleasantness."

THE SABINE Pass DIsAsTER.-G Galveston,
Terds, Oct. 17.-The following special
from Orange, Texas, gives the latest par
ticulars regarding the disaster at Johnson
Bayou and Sabine Pass: The steamer En-
lily P. returned at O'Clock this afternoon,
bringing 100 additional sufferers from John
sons Bayou, who are entirely destitute of
everything that is necessary to sustain life.
1t is estimated that the death list will ex-
coed $50 souls.
An examination of the country back of
Sabine and Immediately in the vicinity of
Beaumont shows that the salt water came
back from the coast fully forty miles through
the swamps, and hundreds of thousands of
acres are still submerged by water that was
forced back and has no outlet. Carcasses
of thousands of drowned cattle, hogs, hors-
es and fowl are strewn everywhere, aud
clouds of sea gulls and buzzards hover over
the desolated country for an area of thirty
square miles.

A GREAT Boom IN IRoN-Investigatio
into the state of the iron trade of this
country shows that there has been an in
creased production of 821, 565 tons during
the first nine months of 1885; that the de-
mand has been and is so great that orders
cannot now be filed for some grades of
iron; that in the last sixty days an advance
in pig iron has taken place of so cents to
81 per ton in the East, 81 in the West, and
from 81 to 81 so in the South. Bar iron has
advanced at the rate of 50 "a per ton, plate
iron at the rate of S. 40 per ton, and muck
bars are s. higher than the lowest price
this year. The heaviest business of the
year is being done at the present time

A New Yorker on Social Equality.
WHAT NEW WORKERS THINK OF MR.. pow
DERLY's FOLLY.
New YORK. October s, 1886.

NEW YORK, October s, 1885,
To the Editor Of the State:
Mr. Pow lerly's selection of negro t.
introduce him to Gov. Lee because ths
Richmond hotels would not receive any bu
white guests is regarded here as great folly
By many it is looked upon as an insult tc
the Governor who had so warmly welcom ed
him to Richmond.
So far as the action of Mcclure and hi:
white delegates as concerned, it produces
intense disgust. 1t is regarded as vulgar
and degrading. Negroes are not allowed
to sit in tn, orchestra aud dress-circle il
any decent theatre here. Their admission
would ruin the managers. This $40" wei
enough knows, and the ugly methods o.
that body can only be accounted for on the
ground that they expected to return with 6
boast that they had bullicd the ''rebels and
F. F. VS. into social equality!
In this city social equality is unknown
save by lay persons in the off color streets
such as Thompson and McDougal. White
people in negro bosrdinghouses are a novel
ty in respectable quarters of the city. Nc
gentleman or lady would tolerate theil
presence. Negroes are not welcomed as
guests al hotels. Two Or three have re.
ceived solne visiting fancy mulattoes, but
it caused remark. The best hotels won't
have them or the blacks at all; nor do they
visit the . 'pular drinking saloons or res
taurants. 10 fact, they are allowed in very
inferior stlooDs and restaurants. I have
seen many ladies refuse to sit by negroes
in the Street cars. and in the elevated cars
they are severly left alone when seats can be
had. Neg oss have their own churches
and attend them because their presence il
unwel3ome in white churches.
Thus, You see, the negro is not s'socia
equal'' here, and will not be. The white
delegates know this, and any one can sec
for himself who will look around New York
Is it not colossal impudence for any set O.
visiting New Workers to attempt to force
equality on Virginians? Really, it is toe

murder Of Title Smith, an employee of that

The evidence was wholly circumstantial,
and was less strong than that against Gu

We have pointed out on several occa-

try seem to be managed, if not with the
view Of defeating the Democrats, yet with
that end as a strong probability. How this
comes about we need not enquire; the fact
is the thing, and on this point we quote
Colonel Ingersoll, the atheist, who, in re-
cent interview, held the following Ism
guage:
cit is said Colonel Ingersoll, that you
are for Henry George" began the report
er?
"Of counsel I think it the duty of the
Republicans to defeat the Democracy-a
solemn duty, and believe they have a
chance to elect George. e., an oppor-
tunity to take New York from their old
enemy"
TIE scheme is well centrived, and all
Democrats North and South, should ask
themselves if they are willing to play Cat to
the Republican Monkey? Mr.. Ingersoll is
the man who called Blaine "the Plumed
Knight" and is bold enough to avow that
he favors Mr.. George in order to take the
Government from the hands of the real
friends of the people.-No1oM Landmark.

ALLEGING Mr.. HENRY GEORGE TO BE
ANOTHER BEN BUTLER.-The leading sup
porters of Mr.. Henry George for mayor OF
New York intend, it appears, to support re-
publican nominees for positions other than
that of mayor. This is held by the New
York Star to confirm the rumors that have
been floating to the effect that the candi-
dature of Mr.. George is the result of an
alliance between the labor party and the
republican machine. In other words, that
the George movement is a renewal OF the
Butler intrigue of 1884, and is part of Mr..
Blaine's scheme to secure his nomination
and election in 1888. Money, it is asserted
has been contributed by Blaine men for Mr.
Georges campaign fund. If this be the
Case, it is matter for sincere regret to those
who have been disposed to regard the au
thor of 'Progress and Poverty as al
honest advocate of specious but retrogres
sive theories Of property. 1t is quite posi-
