Works, adjoin. big the city of Sh ..cuabi, in a card to the St. tools liediowit -gives the follow ing as the result of "what Is regarded as a successful run of ten months," taken from the books of the establishment: Cash paid for fuel used 1.55,520 Cub paid for ore need 85,840 Cash paid for wages 29,972 Clash paid for repalts and expenbes 19,884 Totandlict tbr ten months o4l , 4,400,026 tons, dolma 06 par ton. - The ore used at these works is brought by rail from Iron Mountain or Pilot Knob, some eighty Janes distant; the fuel (min eral coal) la, we believe, from Illinois, The furnace, as we learn from the reply of the Democrat, "was an old and disused one, fitted op for the experiment of Big Muddy coal." The editor of the Democrat replies at considerable length to Mr. Mcßae's card, and complains that It is calculated to deter capitalists from investing in that busineu in St. Louis. Ile then enumer ates a number of - localities in Pecensylvs. nla, Tennessee, Indiana and Wisconsin, where pig iron is made at much lower figures; and attributes the high rate of coat as given by Mr. Manila to the tics that the Carondolet Immix "was com pelled to stop •for repairs or alterations several times, and once was Idle for that purpose atOut two months." The Ann. ocrof closes with the following paragraph: "In brief, we want to hasten forward the Iron manufacture here. We do not want to drive people elf to Alabama or elsewhere. Therefore, we are careful to show, at considerable pains, that, in fur. MICOS properly adapted to the work. managed without a waste of aixty.nins per sent. of fuel, and run aaregularly se furnaces do run elsewhere, iron am be made at St. Louis at a coat nut exceeding Ma ton. We;believe that In the main the Demo cragls right, and we are pleased to see its zeal In the clam of hastening forward the manufacture of- lion at that city, not• witAandirig the inconsistency of such efforts with its advocacy of the principles of free trade involving a reduction of the duty on - pig iron. Under the present law the duty Is $9 per ton, and with that amount of protection the doniestio faienre, where the conditions vire at all favorable, - Is satisfactorily remunerative. Still it Is fer,frout being prohibitory; for during the past ten months of 1869, the enormous amount of 132,493 tons of pig iron of foreign• manufacture were im• ported, being an increase of 86,929 over the eonisponding • months of 1868. During the name period 274,868 tons of rails were imported, being an increase of neatly 20,000 tons over the same ten months of the preceding year• With such figures staring sus the face the question which really presses Itself upon the mind's, not how much the duly ought to be 'educed, but how much It ought to be lot:reseed,. But nobody Is uldng for an Increase. The basingis Is prospering and progress. ing, notwithstanding the large and In creasing Importations. It 11 stated that at thii moment there are seventy new huneces nearly ready to go„into blast In various parts of the United States, which will addtiot less than 800,000 tons per annum to, fel . home production. This shows tweituings; first, that the business pus under the present tariff; and, second, that the making of Iron 1...n0 monopoly. Do the 'drogues of a ;eduction of the tariirhowerer, know that their peralst ent agitation of this question is keeping this branth of business in the hands of a taw men, compared with the number wbo would be in it were they to let it alone? Were it now certain that for years to come the existing tariff would not be disturbed, hundreds of iron furnaces would be undertaken before the close of the year which has just opened. Da mastic competition would, by and by, so lent down prices that foreign' manufac tarers could not afford to send their, pig iron to our ports and there pay sine dot tars a ton on it. But the uncertainty which now 'hangs over the business,' tends to keep prices up, and is actually Workingintssthe hands of both American and foreign 4. monopolists," as the deco.' teas of free trade delight to all them. Bull we are glad to see the St. Louis . Democrat standing up so sturdily for that city as an eligible locality for manufaa taring iron—for Ike great mines of that State are perhaps - unequalled ,on the globehut that 'great Interest in Mir sour? will standor tall with the urns In. West in other States. Lot the tariff alone, and then Missouri may soon take its place with Pennsylvania, Ohio and Tennesiee In this respect; but break down that protection, and then the same pFalytis *Mel will fall nponithe betel. peas In other States will arra its pro. pegs in Missouri. /timosaGazarris :—d correspondent referring to tho recent quotation in your columns of tiorsce's lemons couplet : Moys aqua ptilsat pede iisuperion tailcoat, regutrigus torru— gives u a translation— • Pale death with equal foot Verpowete The .pauper calla, and the kingly towers.

We presume that during the coming year few of these old military chime will be presented to the State Treasury, and the number of other claims growing out of the war being nearly, If not all paid, several hundred thousand dollars can be added to the Sinking Fund. On the other band, the receipts will no doubt be considerably increased. By the real and energy displayed by General Hartranft, Mr. Mackey the State Treas urer, and the present Attorney General, several of the large corporations that have heretofore escaped — taxation have been compelled to pay their dues to the Gov ernment, which is not Included in the receipts given below.

Very late ones, too, I suspect, for the streets are getting noisy at midnight, more so tban.when I came. Thus the first meeting on the tenth ended with an abrupt adjournment, and I can not doubt that of today has done also. I This Is not very promising for the pre sumed object of the Council, which every day recedes further Into the limbo lof vain aspirations. If the doctrine of infallibility Is adopted, It Is now 'WA positively the French Concordat will be at once withdrawn, and Plus IX. will find that with a new position, new rela• I lions will also have to be arranged. So strongly is this Intention announced that 'the Pope's friends accuse France of dic tating, and Frenchmen do not deny the Imputation. The situation is described on both sides as proofs:lmi and nobody seen the way out of It, except by contln. nal adjournumita, till time Itself bring some sort of escape. Batas for any con clusions being coma to and proclaimed by January thif, -- is pronounced tiff possible. POIITION OP THE AlfEnrcAn BUMPS. •" • • The Papal authorities have housed the Bishops with careful and dis• criminating hospitality. Those who could not be absolutely trusted have been lodged with safe companions, in the pro portion of one weak brother to half a do- Zen strong. In one palace, two three known to want their faith confirmed, are in charge of ten stout believers. The Jesuits have had the manipulation of the flock, and have done it well. There Is not one of them who has not his feelings sounded and- reported upon daily—and the common study of the printed papers compete all to speak. In this way It will be ascertained what points can be pressed . —supposing it 'desirable to press them— and what not. But the Pope will proba bly not propose at all what he would hay° to withdraw. Tho American Bishops; hear It said, plead theit difficulties at home. The Syllabus has excited a great deal of attention Ulm and has been de nonoced as an attack upon civil society, putting everybody pledged toil antar cud= to his fellow -citizens. At first sight it might seem that under a Con. antraion, founded upon the right of private Judgment and the will of tho ololoritr, there would be no great reason to fear an external claim to entire sPiritual and social submission. But it is plain the Americans entertain a Among dislike to the kind of thing alto gether, and that any maintainer of the Hope's infallibility and supreme authority in the chief affairs of life will often And himself at a disadvantage. So the. Am erican Bishops would rather be out of it. Indeed, they say they cannot hold them- Balm; the new converts stipulate for their liberty. If tide be the case in the United States, it cannot be otherwise in all the States ot the Old World, where re ligion is all a matter of controversy, and where there are such things as converts from one communion or one school to another. The objectiOns to infallibility are said to take a great variety of forma, but that must be only a variety of lan. image, expression and circumstances. There is one master objection at the root of all 'objections, and that is the indi viduality and self-consciousness which make every man, who thinks at all, think for himself by laws and rules of his own, and from his own point of view. The man who thinks Is already on a throne, and he does not even vacate it when he him solemnly accepted the Pope for his paramount. He still holds it in that See. • HELP NATDRE IN DISTRESS. • The value oil DR. lIII3ER'6 LUNG CURE cannot be connoted In dollars and et MS.
