gr ally inferior cost, and can be sold at low prices on long credits. 17th Interrogator}': IV hfit rate of duties in the tariff will, in your opin ica place yon as a manufacturer in fair competition yith the toreign ma ker of the same commodity? Answer: To put the domestic on a perfect equality with the foreign man ufacturer of iron, in all respects, he should be protected to the extent of the difference in cost of capital and la bor. here and abroad, and all taxes di- [ rect and indirect paid by the Ameri can product, from which the foreign is free. It is conceded by the British iron masters that wc pay three dollars for labor thai costs the English manu facturer but one. The capital neces sary to build and stock iron works, owing to the higher cost of materials and labor and higher rate of inf'rrst, Costs us three times as tnitch as it does him. and consequently, to put us on an equality in these respects, we should be protected to the extent of at least ; two thirds of the actual cost of our' product. It has been shown that the taxes paid to the Government on a ton of American iron is?l6 23; to this add the difference in cost of iabor and , capital in this country, and you will find the amount necessary to put the American " manufacturer in fair com petition with the foreign maker. 18th Interrogator}*: What is the cost of making pig metal in England, ; and what in Scotland ; also rails, coin mon bar, &c., as far as you know ? Answer: I can only judge of the cost of some of those articles by the j extremely low price at which they are sold, and the mammoth fortunes accu mulated by the manufacturers At present cost of labor, Welsh rails are not costing the manufacturer over ?25 ; per ton. The cost of Scotch pig is hard to es timate, but as it is now selling from $13.50 to 514, arid is understood to pay a large profit to the maker, it cannot cost more than SIU to sll, and proba bly less than that The English manufacturers are wise ly cauti uis about disclosing the secrets t of their business, or the cost of their ( product, and in all the publications I have been able to sec there is not as much given, leading to a correct esti mate of the cost ot making iron, as I have given you in answering these in terrogatories. Yet I find it admitted by some of them that pig metal can be profitably made in certain districts of i England at £2 per ton. 20t'n Interrogatory: What will be the effect upon the wages of laborers j and operatives, if gold should come to 1 par without an increase of duties on i foreign goods? Answer: There must be a corres j ponding decline of wages, or manufac turing must cease. The latter is most I likely to occur—many thousands will j be thrown out of employment, and much suffering will ensue. 21si Interrogatory : If any general j decline in prices of American manu factured commodities shall take place, can the present rate of wages be main tained ? Answer: So far as the manufacture of railroad iron is concerned, I would answer emphatically no. THE GAZETTE. IiEWISTOVVN, PA. Wednesday, September 5, 1866. j G. <fc G. R. PRVSISGKR, Editor*.

BQT" "Why the h—l don't Congress ad rait the States," said a yelping copper head the other day in our hearing, mean ing of course the rebel States. Don't the silly fool, as well as others who bark in the same strain, know that Congress has made provision for their admittance, and that these' 'States" are keeping themselves, out'* Let them pass the amendments, and thus make this a whiff- man's govern ment, and they can come in. Our Legislative Ticket. The re-nomination of JAMES M. BROWN,' we are pleased to say, gives general satis faction in this county. Whatever differ ence of opinion existed previous to the meeting of the county convention, was definitely settled by the action of that hody, and among his most ardent sup porters now are most of those who honest ly o[inosed him at the delegate election. So far as our county is concerned, Me can hold our own, and tnake some inroads into the new party. We see attempts are made to connect Mr. Brown with the Senatorial question, and in Juniata and Huntingdon the cop papers set himdown as a Cameron man. In this county we wisely discarded a question only calcula ted to foster discord, antf we think we can safely say our member occupies common ground with ourselves in relation to this matter, which is this : We have no fav orite first, last and all the time. When the time comes we are willing to look around among the prominent men who stand faithful to the great truths enuncia ted by the Union Republican Party—to counsel with members of that party from all parts of the State —weigh tlie status of candidates, and, if a close vote, their probability of success in convention, if nominated ; and then, whether the choice fall upon Qurtin, Cameron, or any other sound Union man, WE ARE FOR HIM, and this we are confident is the sentiment of nine-tenths of our voters. In Huntingdon, county, HENRY S. WHARTON, a young man of fine talents and business habits, received the nomina tion through the practice inaugurated during the past few years of making their members yearlings. Such at is our view of the matter, as if was evident that the friends of Mr. Swoope < who was de feated last year for a re-nomination) this year defeated Mr. Baker. We regret that such was the case, but when Hun tingdon county presents us an unob jectionable candidate nominated by the usages of the party, it is not our busi ness, nor that of Juniata, to go behind the nominating body and inquire whether somebody is dissatisfied. We intend to do our duty by Mr. Wharton, and there fore have a right to ask that republicans of Huntingdon county do theirs—as we believe they will—for if local differences are once introduced, and district members put in jeopardy, a minority might as well at once dictate who we should vote for even in a township election. We believe our friends in Huntingdon county could easily trace their apparent difficulty to the introduction of a side issue, and as wolves who were loudest in creating that issue have now thrown off the sheep's clothing they used, it ought to satisfy all reflecting men that, while perhaps inno cently got up, it w'as insidiously fostered for the purpose of creating discord. In fact. Cowan's sleuth hounds can be track ed in the manceuver as readily as whisky in an official drunkard. Presidential Dignify. From the day Andrew Johnson was in augurated Vice President, every Christian man in this country, and every well wisher of its prosperity, has had cause to blush for his course. When Booth's mur derous hand made him President, it was hoped he had repented in sack cloth and ashes, and that he would realize the fear ful responsibility resting upon him to preserve the dignity of this nation; but his 22d of February harangue, couched in language which would do no honor to any political stump orator, dispelled those hopes, and men can now only look on and read in wonder. All our Presidents heretofore preserved at least a studied dignity when they appeared before the public, and seldom' indulged in egotisti cal displays or used language derogatory to their high position. Many of our readers will no doubt remember with what astonishment they read a certificate of James Buchanan, certifying to the good qualities of a keg of Monougahela whiskey forwarder! to him by a Pennsyl vania firm, and how generally that act was condemned, for although a certificate from simple James Buchanan would have been passed over without comment, such a one from "Juntes Buchanan, President oi the I nited States," was looked upon as derogatory to that office and discredi table to the nation. Under Johnson how ever all this is changed. Intemperate language, coarse attacks on Congress and all who ditt'er from him, references to the Deity next to blasphemous, and a vulgar egotism that would shame a candidate for constable, mark too many of his address es. On his present journey, ostensibly to lay the corner stone of a monument to Douglas, a man whom he most bitterly assailed while living, he has almost in va riably started out by declaring he would not makeaspeech, then launched out into digressions on " my policy," warmed up until he denounced Congress, either as usurpers, disunionisjts, or some other foul mouthed epithet, and wound up by telling his hearers the old story that he had been a tailor! [By the Atlantic Cable.] News from the Old World. Ihe formalities of the cession of Vene tia have been completed and the Austrians sire to evacuate that part of Italy within thuftn' ' i r Jitters seem quiet except that the ruler ot Hesse Darmstadt refuses the treaty of peace. It is likely thsit his dominions will be conceded to Prussia.— ? ro ". vn . de l'Huys, the French minis ter for foreign affairs, has resigned. The motion in the Bavarian chambers to effect a union with Prussia has been defeated, ine 1 russian chambers are engaged in discussing a bill of indictment for certain alleged illegal acts of the government. "The Gazette can goon emptying its "stinkpots," as its masters direct, at men who refuse to bow at the shrine of its eb ony idol, but the people of this county have learned to appreciate it at its real worth. The day has passed when per sonal detraction, the only remaining ele ment of political opposition the Gazette and its party has, can atl'eet the success of the Democracy." We do not know to which of theerftfors of the Democrat we are indebted for the above courteous and gentlemanly extract from a rigmarole of nonsense in its last is sue, which, as is usually the case ■where men have no argument nor reason to op pose an opponent, resort is had to person al bitlinsgate. We shall not follow its course, but would ask wherein have we engaged in such "personal detraction" of the candidates of the new party as that paper asserts ? Had we said that one of its candidates was a drunkard (as tlie Democrat did of one of ours last year) — that another had stolen a sheep, and a third beaten his wife, that paper might talk about "detraction," but it is some thing new to us that to canvass a candi date's political record comes under that head. For instance, is it detraction to say that Wm. Ross, one of its candidates for Associate Judge, was tried and is now under conviction of taking the votes of deserters—that during the entire war he was one of the most vindictive opponents of the Union men in this county, and that his sympathies and feelings were with the .South? Is it personal detraction to say that Mr. Ross is a man of strong temper, frequently unreasonable, and a violent political partizan? Is it personal detrac tion to say that John W. Kearns, during the war, stood upon the same platform and taught the same doctrines that the Belinsgrove Times did—that by his talk and example he induced ignorant men to put themselves in opposition to the government when its very existence was threatened? Is it personal detraction to say that Mr. Banks was the chosen friend and associate of the vilest calumniators of Abraham Lincoln, and though more guarded in his expressions, when or where did he ever pubnlra j|iMhunee the rebel leaders half as he did those who were at the head of our government?— And so with Major McEwen. He went into the service, was promoted to a jwist of honor and profit, resigned a position worth nearly S2OO per month long before the close of the war, and came home to rail at the administration! Wo do not dispute the right of these men to do these things, but we also claim that if tliey are put forward as candidates for office, sol diers and all other citizens have a right to know the position they occupied in the most eventful period of our history; and if knowing it, soldiers and others who stood by their country "right or wrong," choose to reward such men like Messrs. Banks, Ross, Kearns, &c., with office, why be it so—the republican doctrine be ing that the majority shall rule. XknF' Hon. James Mullens, a member of the Tennessee Legislature, in a speech at Philadelphia 011 Friday last, stated as a fact within his own knowledge that after Johnson had promised to be the Moses to lead the negroes out of Egypt into Canaan, that poor deluded race raised S4OO and purchased him a splendid gold watch which he still wears. Another incident related by Mr. Mullens, is worthy of note. Referring to the character of thecompany which Andrew Johnson had kept of late, the speaker contrasted his appearance at Democratic meetings with the fact that shortly after the Democratic Convention at Chicago he forcibly dispersed a Mc- Clellan meeting held in Tennessee. The meeting was held in the evening, in the second story of a building used its a court house, and Mr. Johnson being apprised of the fact ordered out some of the colored troops under his command, and ordered (hem to go to the place, blow out the lights, and knock every d —d man down stairs regardless of the consequences. — These orders were obeyed to the letter, and the unfortunate McClellanites were driven from their room, tumbled pell-mell down the stairs, and many of them per sonally assaulted. That was what An drew Johnson did in 18t>4 for his MeClel lan friends. fey" The Selinsgrove Times naturally comes to the rescue of Messrs. Ross and Ivearns, who it insists are, like itself, dem ocratic, and winds up an article on the Gazette as follows: 44 The Gazette still has 44 soldier on the brain," with which it will doubtless be troubled till after the election. We are not afflicted in that way, though we have quite a goodly number of soldiers' names upon our subscription book who will all vote for Clymer and a white man's gov ernment at the next election. Nor do honorable soldiers endorse a party so mean that will submit to their members in Con gress voting themselves $3,000 extra pay for a few months service and to the sol diers only SIOO for three years /" In the first place, more democratic votes, in proportion to numbers, voted for an increase of salary than did republicans; and all the Johnson members voted for it. Secondly we acknowledge to have 44 soldier on the brain" all the time; and had the soldiers as a body been wise, they would have secured two-thirds of all the civil offices in this State for many years to come. But led 011 by designing offi cers, many privates were induced to join Clymer clubs as soldiers, thus giving countenance to one who during the war had no voice in their favor, and who vo ted against increasing their pay, while his opponent WJIS not only a brave and gallant soldier but in every respect the equal, if not superior, of Clymer. In do ing so, the privates threw away their own chances of civil promotion, and will, as they did in the war, do the hard work, while those who misled them will reap offices and greenbacks. Had they conic back, organized as a body of Union men, and put forward their claims, the Gazette would have raised no word of objection to any nominee of character and standing, no matter what his political antecedents might have been. Sale of the Democracy. On Thursday last the Legislative con ferees of the democracy that was met the Johnsonites in this place, and consumma ted the intrigue and bargain of selling the democracy to the new party by adopting Mr. Miller of Huntingdon and Mr. Wil lis of Lewistown as candidates for the Legislature. If any one still has doubts, the following editorial article front the Washington Star of Friday bust, one of Johnson's organs, ought to satisfy him: The National Virion Party." —The name adopted, as above, by the great na tional party which has arisen for the sal vation of the country, is accepted every where as one exceedingly felicitous and appropriate. It correctly designates the purpose had in view; it is as broad and comprehensive as the nation itself; and while rallying all patriots to a common standard, has no tint or rust of old partv names or shibboleths. Fall in, old democrats! here's a fine chance for your services as hewers of wood and drawers of water to give a few men office who'll thank you for your votes, hut don't care a for vou otherwise. An Apostate's Picture as Drawn by Himself. In his speech at the St. Cloud Hotel, in Memphis, accepting the nomination for the Vice Presidency, Andrew Johnson thus urged the necessity of a rigid fran chise law in Tennessee: "I say that the traitor has ceased to be a citizen, and in joining the rebellion has become a public enemy. H< forfeited his right to vote with loyal men when he re nounced his citizenship and sought to de stroy our Government. We say to the most honest and industrious foreigner who comes from England and Germany to dwell among us and to add to the wealth ot the country, 'Before you can he a citi zen you must stay here for five years.' If we are so cautious about foreigners, who voluntarily renounce their homes to live with us, what say to the traitor who, although born and reared among us, has raised' a parieidal* hand against the government which alwavs protected him? My judgment is that he should f>e subjected to a severe ordeal before he is restored to citizenship." And yet this man in a speech sometime ago, had the impudence to ask what prin ciples and promises lie had betrayed? fifesF' We suppose you know all about it, as you were in the —really we forget— what corps was it?

So far as the senior is concerned, being over age, we served in the Relief Corps, where we believe it is generally admitted we did our duty, having like most pri vates received a good deal of abuse and little pay. Our eldest son, who is in the ministry, shouldered a musket during Lee's invasion, was for some time under rebel surveillance, and in a good deal more danger of life than some folks who enter ed the army. Our junior, in addition to local service, volunteered during Lee's in vasion and was at Gettysburg until regu larly discharged. He again enlisted, and was twice rejected, much against his wish es, under the military regulations, when he returned home. Another member of our family, a nephew and a minor, was in the nine months service, where he con tracted a disease which no doubt caused the loss of one of his lungs.

Claimants for an increase of pension under the law granting to widows two dollars per month additional for each child under sixteen years of age", will be required to prove the dates of birth of such children in the manner required in the case of an application on behalf of mi nor children, as prescribed in previous forms and instructions. This explana tion is now published by authority of the Commissioner of Pensions, lest the in structions under the act of July 2oth, 186K, should be misconstrued on account of the omission of this requirement from said instructions. ffl*suThe New York Evening Post, in its admiration for Johnson, lately suggest ed the formation of a second party. Here is the answer it got from a subscriber: " It is absurd for you to urge that a sec ond party, a Republican party should be organized in the Southern States. Noth ing of the kind would be tolerated, and it would only make mischief to attempt it. If a man should attempt to make a Re publican speech in the town near my plantation, he would l>e shot down at once." An Alabama paper speaks of General Sheridan as a " blue bellied Yankee Irish man, a vulgar ditcher, whose high rank was not the reward of merit but the re sult of fortuitous circumstances." Then it goes oil' as follows : "This is really too bad. We have henceforth to aeknowledge these Yankee hybrids as countrymen, and it would lie gratifying to Southern gentlemen to know that some of them had just claims to de cency and respect. But one by one the leaders of the Northern army show them selves to be only blackguards and brag garts, and now one of the small fry, a short tailed slimy tadpole of the latter spawn, the blathering disgrace of an hon est father, an everlasting libel on his Irish blood, the scorn of brave men and the syn onym of infamy, Major-General Phil.

Dinner for two hundred and fifty was ordered, and the cost was $25,000, or one hundred dollars for each plate. There were eight different kinds of wine, costing from ten to twenty dol lars per bottle. Ibis was a Ji'/uocrufjr dinner, and is therefore we suppose all right in a city where the Democrat latelv complained that soldiers were starving. * In addition to the mutilation of Gen. Sheridan's dispatch published by Johnson's administration, which entirely changed its meaning as to the New Or leans murders, it Ints been discovered that another entire dispatch was omitted from the published official correspondence. The mutilated dispatch was in Johnson's hands, and the infamy of the dirty act rests between him and the New York Times, edited by that Raymond who fig ured so conspicuously at the Philadelphia Convention. The Democrat is hard run forsoine thing to say when it alleges that Gen. Couch has " left the disunion Forney par ty,".as Couch was run ;is the cop candi date in Massachusetts a year ago. Who ever noted his military doings in this State during the war, has no need to ask what his politics were. Another cop pa per also alleges that somebody left the Columbia Spy on account of a disagree ment in polities. As the Spy is a neutral paper, this gammon may be easily estima ted at its true worth. A MYSTERY IN MOBILE.— An unknown man was found dead in a room in a house near Mobile, Alabama, on the 13th ult.— He had retired, and remained in his room so long that his landlady became alarmed and sent for the police, who beat the door open. They found his headless body lv ing on his bed, the blood freely flowing from it. At first it was thought he had been murdered, but a letter was found written apparently by him, which ran thus: " I have put an end to my own life —I was tired of existence in this ungrate ful land and I left it at mv own will.— There is money in my drawer sufficient to pa\ my funeral expenses.
