Mlddloten lias just returned from Alabama, from Birmingham and Bessemer,wherethelronclnd,ceal freighted, llmcstone ballasted booms bave been nail ing uleng)rrnndly for soveml years regard less of nil the miseries of Industrial depres sion that linve Intcrfered with the booming of Northern enterprises. Mr. Mlddloten was geno for a week, nnd from Louisville he travelled tu the private car of his brother, Mr. Ifarvey Mlddlcten, Hupcrlntuudent of motive isiwcr of the I-ouIsvllle A Nashville railroad. He mildly declares that the country Is wonderful, " simply amazing, rallreids cut through a mountain of magnificent ere, coal mid lime idone right tliore, enormous furnaces, big rolling mills three of them, extensive enr shops, great coal mines, and I tell you they are bustlers, and they knock the fluff ing out of us in making iron. All of the new furnaces appear te be built regardless or oxpense, with all of the latest improve ments. We explored the twenty miles or mero of branch railroads around Birming ham leading out te the mines and furnaces. At Gate City gap four railroads go through within a mlle of each ether, and supply the furnaces with limestone from near the gap. a The deposit of limestone there is wonder ' ful ; the whole side of the mountain seems te be ene solid mass of the ery best quality of limestone. Bessemer and Bir mingham are the lending cities, but (Inte City is coining up pretty lively. The country Is veiy mountainous and the reads curving around thu sides of the hills must be costly, but the quantity of ero there is amazing. Up en lied mountain I saw a great mass efied hematite eru uud an old Georgia cracker, known In the com munity as Lord Fauntlerey, showed us ever the premises, lie was a tall, thin man w 1th u very long thin fare and long pointed goatce and mustache. He said In a stately way : 'Gentlemen, walk in and have soine elder.' It.wasthe most powerful cider I ever tastisl. The wlse man of the party declined te try it and It was awful stnlf, anil made us sick witli surprising quickness. Mrs. Lord Fauntlerey showed us some line siieclmcns of needle ero which is found witli the hematite. The furnaccsln that country nil bave their ere, coal and llmcstone within a radius of twelve miles, lllrmlnghnm Is badly situated for drainage and water. The city lies in a hole In the hills and a slimy little streams runs by it and brings them all the water they have, but they are new taking up the cpiostlen of water and dndnnge. The country seems te be healthy eneugh nnd a gentleman who went there several years nge fiem Phila delphia boasted of geed health ever since his arrival. They liave every facility for 'making Iren very cheap.and nn abundance of geed bituminous coal there that Is a solid basis for their prosperity. The activity Is net speeulatlve or sensational, but indus tries in oiicrutieu are undoubtedly making money and mau3' nthers are being estab Uslust by cautious business men.

Senater Rubin's charges against the state administration nnd .Senate Librarian De laney have net produced that Impression which the merits of the controversy warrant- This is owing te the fact that the senator has lecn threatening te innke these disclosures ever since the session opened, and lias, from tlme te time, dribbled them out In private talk until people became weary or the subject; That the administra tion is responsible for the failure of the Inte lamcnted revenue bill there la no doubt, but Senater Butan cannot prove that the responsibility for its failu re te appear befere the governor rests upon the oxecutlve de partment. But, ns n matter of fact, the bill would have been vetoed had It nppeared nroperly upon the desk of the governor. The executive could bave made It a law hed he desired te de se, and whatever blame attaches te the Ultimate failure of the meas ure must always rest with Gov. Beaver. Senater Butan' s charges that the governor nnde contracts for thu rebuilding of the executive mansion befere the appropriation bill for that purpose had passed the Legls Legls tnre Is speclilc, mid there is llttle doubt but that it Is true, ns Is also the charge that the present administration has Increased the pay-roll of the einpleves about the execu tive offices. The ether dny a bill was imssed Increasing the pay of the empleyes of the atternev general's olllce, which should never liave been done, but the measure was backed by Mr. Andrews nnd Mr. Delninnter. and of course. It went through. The nttorney general, If he wants extra clerical iieip, sneuiii ie cempeneu 10 pay for It out of the fees of his elllce. He is the best paid eiileer in the common wealth, his fees n ml ether emoluments amounting te ever 7,H0O ier year In addi tion te his Mlary,and he also is eniwwered te hire and pay from the state treasury special counsel te leek after such cases as he does net cure te bother with. The charge of Senater Butan that Senate Librarian Delatiey gets n lxirt of the $.'0 allowed te the members nml senators for stationery will net held water. The senators and members get this allowance In cash, and will net stand any discount cither., What stationery they need after they have been paid this $30 allow nnce is furnished them in addition, and is paid for out of the cotitingeiilfuudeftho two Houses. II would be a verdant member, indeed, who would allow Captain Delaney te get away witli any of his stamp or stationery fund. There is no doubt, as Senater Butan Hays, that Governer's Beaver's administration has been the most expensive state administra tion ever known tothecoiiimonwo.ilth, and that can 1m shown by the 'state treasurer's and auditor general's icpertsj but senator Butan need net go se tar away from the home of his frieuds te show mismanage ment in state affairs. Befere the sossieu is ever tlie public w ill be given seme facts from this xiint compared witli which Sen Sen aeor Butau's charges will appear trilling, grave as they ure. "THE WATKH tHlKKN.

He made application en paper that bere his nnme en tlie letter head te Governer Beaver and was aptstiutcd. On February 27 Geueral Hastings told him his appoint ment was a mistake.

In the course of a sketch of ids career Captain Amies revealed the nature of the secret testimony given bv Colonel Swords nnd Scrgeant-at-ArniH Ciinnday.
