LANCASTEB DAHiY INTEiLlGENCEB; THFKSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14,1882. iinrastcr IntelU&encft THURSDAY STONING, SEPT. 14. 1882. The CressM Baad af Brethren. The pig iron manufacturers turned out to be the most obstreperous section of the Cresson convention of iron andsteel men ; and for very - natural reasons. They are making on the average less money than either the bar iron or the steel manufacturers; those who 'have' well-made and well-situated furnaces have a very profitable business, but most of the iron furnaces m this section of the country are badly placed and poorly equipped ; and as u consequence those iNho f utittjeiq-sre not content witk theirpfofits. -"The Bessemer steel manufacturers, having started a .new industry with large capital, possess ing a monopoly and enjoying a close cor poration, are very amiable and exceed ingly well satisfied. ' They did not make any trouble at Cresson at all. They agreed to let the other fellows cut down the duty on steel rails to a cent a pound, the same as on bar iron ; and no doubt they would have been equally cornplacent if the bar iron manufacturers bad been willing to reduce the duty ' on manufactured iron, taking steel along with it. The notorious fact is, that the Bessemer manufacturers can conduct their business at a large profit at a much less duty upon' foreign rails' than a cent a pound. It would suit them well to have the duty on pig iron reduced and on foreign ores. They are in a position toco farther than any iron men in the reduction of duties all around. They made no fight upon any other interest at Cresson, being well content with the situation as it is and equally content with any variation in it that the iron men wanted. The latter had no chance to fight with them bo cause they would not fight. They ac ceeded to the demand to a common level of duty on iron and steel' rails, and were just as lovely as they could be. Butfpr the bilious pig iron people the Cresson convention would have 'been a picture of unanimity, barring a little disturbance made by the iron ore miners.' When the excitement upon these topics was getting a little high the matters were referred to a committee, which got up a little compromise that patched up a truce between the belligerents. Pig iron was given a dollar a ton more duty, being raised from seven to eight dollars a ton, and iron ore gotaSopin an in crease from twenty per cent, ad -valorem to eighty cents a ton specific duty. -Then committees were appointed to appear before the tariff commission and the would-be legislators adjourned. It is not to be forgotten that this con vention did not make the tariff it sug gested. The proceedings at a superficial glanco appear as though they were those of a real Legislature. No doubt the del egates thought themselves very compe tent to do the work of making a tariff, and considered it a great mistake that they were not real legislators. The rest of the country will differ with them in opinion, and the honest, truth no doubt is that no set of men could bo less com petent to make the duties on iron and steel products than the men who manu facture them. They did wisely in not inviting the tariff commision to. attend their deliberations, where its members would clearly have seen how closely their views were bounded by the horizon of their self-interest and how little capacity and inclination they showed to consider the general interest of the country befora their own. They were wise in putting themselves' in com munication with the tariff commission through committees who could at least go cocked and primed and ready to unanimously aim at their bulls eye even though with a crooked gun. They may hit the commission with it, but it js safe, to say that they wiltnot reach the public1 affirmation of the correctness of the claim of the Cresson convention for a maintenance of the present rates of duty on iron and steel and much les3 for the increase of any of them. It was very silly in the convention to concede to the demand of the pig iron delegates for an increase of duty, know ing as they did that the blast furnaces in the country, which are well planted and built, can continue to jnako pig iron at a less duty than is now imposed upon the foreign product. A tariff is not a justifiable one which .seeks to protect manufacturers who are working in lo calities and with appliances that nat urally handicap them. Such manufac turers need to transfer their industries to more favorable localities, and to make their facilities equal to the cheapest re sult. It is not to the interest of the country to protect from foreign competi tion those who cannot or will not pro tect themselves from home competition. The time is coming when the interest of the iron industries in the sections of the country where iron can be made cheapest will demand free trade in iron ; and then the interest of the whole country will unite in this demand. It is safe to conclude, wherever iron manufacturers, after the many years of protection they have had in this rapidly grow ing country, are found in need of increased protection, or even of tho same that they have been enjoying, that their sphere of usefulness is over in the places that have so long known them, and that they should be abandoned to their fate as things that the public weal is no longer concerned in protecting. The course of duties upon iron should be in a steadily descending scale from now onward. The present duties will lcar a moderate reduction all around. The process of reduction should be gradual and slow, testing at each step the capac ity of the iron trade to prosper under it ; but it should be certain, and now is a good time to commence it. The New York Sun has published an interview with Mr. Bigelow, an intimate friend of Mr. Tilden, who proclaims Chat Mr. Tildenis definitely out of pub lic life, and would not accept a nomina tion for governor of New York or for president in 1884 if tendered him ; and he expresses surprise that the public should have any doubt of this after Mr. Tilden's public declarations to this effect.

IWB.IV. ' " Docxoit Bkadley has now editorially pinioned Congressman Scrantan As l"i constitutional political bummer?' "-This, we suppose, is another way of saying that rJoo" can't help being " crooked." SnouLD the Democrats of the Seventh district nominate Gen. Davis, of Doylee town, for Congress the gallant old soldier will give Dr. Evans a lively chase. The Democrat is doing yeoman success in the campaign: Uncle Jons Cessna, who yearns to see Beaver elected, remarks : "I think the situation in, tho Republican party of Pennsylvania is gravo enough to call for very careful -management." -Y-es. Mr. Cessna recalls Dr. Holmes' katydid, seeing that ho " . . says an undisputed thing In such a solemn way." Cooi'Eit might make five hundred dol ars more for his robbers' " contribution" treasury by ' learning of Phipps' where abouts and giving him away. But then the Stalwart chairman would gladly give teu times thai amount rather than leave the fleeing " majah" return just now and tell tho public all bo knows. What a tale it would be ! A silver dollar was sent to the Orleans mint thj other day ami New pro- uouueed counterfeit. Its weight was .slightly in access of that of the genuine dollar, aud it failed before the acid test, but in all outward appcaranco it was an exact imitation On a more thorough test being made it was found to be a genu ine dollar, which somebody in a sportive mood had heavily nickel-plated. Be.yvkk's ' undignified swing around tho circle must be getting exceedingly un pleasant as well as unprofitable. At Erie. tho other evening he was conspicu ously auubbed by the. leading Republicans, and at Pittsburgh only forty persons as sembled to hear him address " tho businessmen." Somehow "the business racket " don't seem to catch on any better than tho still-born " pulpit racket." Tui: New York Times, rcfeiriug to tho renominatiou of Congressman Miles Boss in the New Brunswick (N. J.) district, says : " There will evidently be a chance in tho Third district of Now Jersey for honest Democrats to vote for an honest Republican for Congress." And as Robe son is to bo renominated there will cer tainly bo a chanco in tho First district for honest Republicans to vote for au honest Domocrat ; which will make things even. 'TiiHKK; has been recently reported fiom Oarl(8lo a. decision of considerable interest td warehousemen. A commission mer chant, having given storago receipts to farmers for grain, sold tho grain, although tho prioo to be paid the farmers had not boon agreed on, and the storage receipts had not been taken up. Last spring he made an assignment for tho benefit of his creditors, among whom were some of the farmers holding storago receipts. After the merchant's failure he was indicted for violating the provision of the law forbid ding tho removal of grain for which stor age receipts are still outstanding, and was pronounced ,guilty. The penalty is a fine not exceeding $1,000 or imprisonment in the penitentiary for not more than five years, or both. It was urged in vain in -the defendant's favor that it is the " com mon custom, " for the warehousemen of the Cumberland valley to do precisely as ho did. , Judge Rowe pronounced such a plea invalid.

Quite to the contrary, Mr. Tildou is in his usual health, aud was out riding through the streets of Yonkers yesterday afternoon. Congressman Jougensen has nublish- ed a letter promising not to run for Con gress in the Fourth Virginia district. Mahoue beat him in the convention and for a time war was threatened, but things have been settled at last and Jorgenson meekly bows to tho boss and buckles the Mahono collar about his neck. Goveunok Colquitt, of Georgia, has been thinking of appointing Mr. U. flill, jr., to nil tlie unexpired term of his father the late Hon. Ben Hill, in the United States Senate. Mr. Hill has prepared a letter to bo sent to Governor Colquitt, declining the prospective appointment, statiug that the offico is beyond his aspir ations. Henry H.

Discussing tbe Schedule or Duties Some Changes to be Rooramcnaed to tlie Tariff Commission. The convention of iron and steel manu facturers reassembled at Cresson Springs on Wednesday morning and took,upthe first Hem of the recommendations of the pig iron manufacturers, an increase of the duty on iron in pigs from $7 to 9 per ton. 'In the'eonrse of the debate a suggestion was' repeated by several delegates that the convention 'should reconsider its recom. tneridaiions in.regard to iron ore, and con- nne rtseit to - tne correction ot admitted ambiguities aud inequalities in the tariff. Mr. Ely, df Cleveland, moved the appoint ment of a committee of two members of each section to consider and report a fixed schedule "of duties on all iron and steel products and on iron ore. " -Mr. Morrell. favored this as the only practicable means of securing harmony of action. Mr. Brown objected that this would be a violation of the order of business. Mr. Mben, of Worcester replied that the pig Iron men need not be frightened, as they would still have, after conference, all the votes they now bad. The motion a resolution favoring a re duction of duties, where changes were made, except in correcting erroneous in terpretations of tariff adverse to trade was referred to the committee and a recess taken until afternoon. The committee appointed to prepare a schedule of duties to be prcseuted in behalf of the convention to tho tariff commission did not report until half-past seven o'clock p. m. The convention in tho meanwhile adjourned, and at that hour reassembled. The presentation of tho report created some little discussion, but finally passed unanimously with the exception of duty on pig iron, which had not been changed. Tbe pig iron men advocated an increase strongly, and finally the matter was settled by mutual con cessions, and the proceedings were thereafter harmonious. Tho changes recommended by tho couventiou are as follows : Irons are charged from 20 per cent, ad valorem to 85 cents per ton ; pig iron increased from $7 to $3 per ton ; cast scrap iron increased from $U to $8 per ton; steel rails reduced from $28 to $22.40 per ton ; steel bloom obanged from 40 par cent, ad valorem to $20 per ton ; steel wire rods increased from 30 per cent, ad valor em to 50 per cent, ad valorem ; steel in forms not otherwise provided for changed from thirty per cent, ad valorem to three cents per pound. The other recommendations simply mako clearer the provisions of the present tariff relating to iron and steel, and the ratifica tion of erroneous interpretations of tariff by the treasury department and the courts aud also for the creation of safeguards against future errors and interpretations. This work being completed, resolutions were then adopted providing for tho ap pointment of three representatives from each branch of iron and steel industries of the country, to lay beforo tho tariff com mission a schedule of proposed duties adopted, and also requesting tho American iron and steel association to prepare and submit to tho tariff commission a report setting forth tho benefits which tho coun try has derived in tho past from its appli cation, and asking for a continuance of tho same. The couventiou after thanking officers adjourned sino die Mil. CASSATT'S KKSIGNATU'N. Its Acceptance Dy tbe Board ot Directors Changes in the Company UUicers At the meeting of the board of directors of the Pennsylvania railroad company on Wednesday tho secretary presented Mr. A. J. Cassatt's letter of resignation as first vice president of the company. Mr. Cassatt asked that his resignation might take effect as soon as possible, and stated that his only object in taking this step was that ho might have moro time at his disposal. Ho declares his position to havo been agreeable, and that if he again enter ed active railroad lifo he would not be willing to connect himself with any other company than the one in whoso service more than twonty-ouo years of his life have been passed. President Roberts stated that it was with deep regret that bo re ceived tho information of Mr. Cassatt's resignation, and he felt the same feeling would ba shared by every member of tho board and by all the officers and employees of tho company. A resolution was then passed accepting the resignation, which will take effect Oc tober 1. The resolution further expressed the warmest admiration of Mr- Cassatt's administration of his duties while with the company. The resignation of J. McC. Creightou, general freight agent, has been presented to take effect September 15, aud was ac cepted. A resolution of regret at tho ter mination of his long connection with tho service of tho company and tho apprecia tion of the board of his fidelity to its in terests was adopted.

Melville and Kerry Arrive at New York. Tho Cunard steamer Parthia, having on board Engineer Melville, of the lost Arctic steamer Jcanncttc, besides Norris and Nindennan, off the same vessel and Lieut. Berry, of the Rodgers, arrived at her wharf iu Now York on Monday. The ves sel was met at Sandy Hook by tho steam ers and yachts having on board Melville aud Berry's families aud friends, as well as some friends of tho two seamou ac companying them. Upon arrival the party, were escorted to tho Hoff man House, where they were met by a committee from Philadelphia headed by Commander Rogers, U. S.

Arrangements were made by which tho committee will tako them to Philadelphia in a special car on Friday afternoon ; and tho reception will be given at the Continental hotel in tho evening. The seameu Noros and Niuderman will accompany Melville. That Stolen Bond. It was stated at the treasury department yesterday that tho United States bonds stolen or lost from the register's office was " a $5,000 blank 4 per cent, register ed bond. It was not filled up to any body, was not signed by anybody, and was with out the embossed seal of tho treasury de partment which cannot be counterfeited. It was, therefore, no more than a blank check." It now appears that tho bond was missing a month ago, THIS STAR KUUTK CASE. A Motion for a How Trial for KerdoU The excitement in the Star Route has ended tfor a 'time. Wednesday has been ono of mere routine in the court in connection with the motion for anew trial and for the admission of Miner and Rerdell to bail. A decision as to both 'points is postponed until Friday. The defence advances the ingenious theory that Judge Wylie will grant Rerdell and Miner a new trial, in order that their appeals to the court in bano shall not be heard, and Judge Wylie's rulings as to the whole case passed in review about the same time that tbe leading defendants are again to be placed upon trial in his court. The defendants evidently do not yet un derstand Judge Wylie if they attribute any such motive to him. The question of bail now is oue of privilege ; the question of a new trial is, in a great measure, one of law. But the defendants were long ago convinced that Judge Wylie is in earnest, and be indicated a desire to have the cases set for a rehearing as early as possi ble in the October term. November 6 has been suggested as the day. Meanwhile the bribery charges are under consideration by the district attor ney, Col. Corkhill having returned to his post. The Star Route counsel don't expect to take charge of tho prosecution of these, but will furnish the local au thorities the evidence in their possession. Telegrams havo been sent to Messrs. Brewster and Campbell and to Bowen to return at once, and Mr. Kcr, one of tho government counsel, is reported as saying that, if the charge as to the approach to Dickson is sustained, the method of in quiry may be by indictment. Nothing not already published has been disclosed with regard to the charges of bribery. Foreman Dickson sent to tho attorney general the following letter : 222 Four-and-a half street, N. W., Washington, D. C, Sept. 13, 1882- Hon. Bonj. H. Brewster, attorney general U. S. Sir : During the progress of the Star Route trial at attempt was made to cor rupt tbe jury empanneled in the case, and an officer of your department, named Ilcnry A. Bowen, a special agent assigned to Arizona, is guilty of offering to bribe mo to influcnoo my judgment aud verdict. A sworn statement of the detailed facts has been filed with tbe district attorney of the District- of Columbia, which is accessi ble to you, aud to which I respectfully call your attention. As a citizen of tho United States I de mand from you protection against tho venomous, malicious and contemptible as saults upon tuy private character by your principal assistants and tho officers ot tho department of justice, for daring to per form a sworn duty according to my honest convictions of right and justice Respectfully, William Dickson. A liAWVKU'S SUDDEN DKATH. Edward K. Worrell, tho Prominent Demo cratic Politician and Attorney. Edward R. Worrell, tho lawyer and prominent Democratic politician, died suddenly at G o'clock Wednesday morn ing at a dwelling nt Eighth street and Columbia avenue, Philadelphia, where he was temporarily stopping. His death was caused by inflammation of the stomach. Mr. Worrell was a bachelor, in the 39th year of his ago, and a native of Frankford where ho had his icsidouco when he died. Ho was educated in tho public schools and graduated at tho central high school in 1801, after taking tho full four years course in that institution. Ho then studied law with the late James Ross Snowdcn, aud was admitted to the bar iu December, 1SG5. Since then ho has been iu the activo practice of his profession.

In tho year 1SG8 Mr. Worrell was the Democratic candi date for tho Legislature in tho old Seventeenth district, but was defeat ed by 500 votes, the district being strong ly Republican. For a number of years pasi he took an activo part in local politics, and frequently attended tho state Demo cratic convention as a delegate from Phil adelphia. Mr. Worrell was a caudidato for the Democratic nomination for city solicitor in 1874, again in 1877, being de feated in each convention by one vote, although his friends claimed that ho was really the choice of the party on each oe casion. Ho was successful iu a third can vass for tho nomination, being named for the position of law officer of the city on tho Democratic ticket iu January, 1881. He received on tho first ballot iu the con vention 111 votes to 25 scattering. He was defeated at tho election, however, by W. Nolsou West, tho Republican candi date. Utltor Notable Deaths.
