When iron went below 21 cents per pound, the paddlers refuse to accept a reduction of wages below those based on the 24 rats, but whether by parity of reasoning they will be aatiefied with §7.25 per ton for boiling, should iron go above 4 cents, is any other question.

On the other hand, there has recently spming up in Washington, among these who oppose Grant, not personally, but upon principle, and among those who are ravnally friendly to Sherman, but who are op posed to his underbatd political ma nipulation, a determination to push General Garfeld’s claims upon the’ Nations Convention. ‘The move ment is, of course, 11) ita infancy, but it can be stated upon authority be yond question that there are realmy in the capital men of the largest influ ence and of great wealth, who, if the opportunity offers, will use every effort in their pees to secure the Nomination of the distinguished gen- Seman who has just been elected to the Senate in place of Mr. Thurmin. It is even intimated that in the event of Mr. Sherman's failure to secure the nomination, the influence of Pres ident Hayes and his administration would be thrown in favor of Garfield. Of course, it is not possible now to predict what the result of these vari ons conflicting movements may be, but at present there seems to be no doubt that both Washburn and Gar field will be prominently mentioned in the Chicago meeting. ——— ate an Appeal for Teclans.
