favorite business With. our-'nobility, and, no

HEN .4j i o R CONNELL'S CON' {'EX-
-QENATOR :CONNELL, of Philadel
phia, has preparetta Bill pfoViding for
the holding of a Constitutional Convention,
hlch he intends to
. present to the Leigfsla
‘,
lure immediately after it meets in Jannary.
We find the following - synopsis of it in ilk
r
Bucks County INTELI:tomicEn with-
.some
pertifiant remarks, which .we append :
It is propmed that a speeial election beltelcl*-
in June next to decide by a vote of the people
whether or not a Convention . shall. be celled ;
and at the same time delegates to nerve in the
Convention, if one shall be ordered, are to be
chosen. - The Whole - number of delegates to be
chosen is 135, thirty-two of whom are to be,
elected from the State at large, each eitizen -
voting for only sixteen, persons. In 'Mkt:tele
gates at large, therefore j each paX ( willbe - equal,
ly represented; and, as' electi in their case
will he certain, a free Uppoitnnity will be given
to select the best and most competent men in'
the emotnonwealtn,-without regard to their re
sidetrce.: The bulk of the Conventiop,-consist
ing of 103 menibers, is to be ehosenby there
spective Senatorial districts as they new stand.
The city el' Philadelphia will have eighteen mem
bers, elected in three. districts; and the other
•Senatorial districts of. the State-are to choose
troth two-to five members each, accorditivto
ratio of,the taxable inhabitants. ,
"Itdsfurther provided that Where 'six .dereili
gates are,chosen; no person shall vote:for loofa;
than four.; ,w hero four or five are elected +kach
person shall vote fir only three; when!, till-ee
are elected each ballot shall boor two; and im
macs whore tiro delegates are• npri r loped, B'4:
in Bucks, ' - each person shall vote for but one.—
This arrangeinent would "secure a fair repre
sentation of both political 3 -.,paqies. The Co
vention, as.the bill provides, Will meet at Har
risburg on the tirst• Tn6sday of Septeinber;
1871, and it* seasions'are, to end on or • before -
the first of May; 1872; The delegales are to be
paid $l2 each per day while actually . engaged in'
their duties; and tho o Speeelies and • daily pro
ceedings are not to tre printethat the expense of ,
the State. The changes made in, the Constitti
tionarlorbe stibtriitteri le a vote of the people
rhaltication 'Or rejeetion-, on the first Tuesday
uf-Jnn 'Wnd thus the whole work can' be
. coinpleted before the October election of that
"When this bill is submitted:l4oe Legisla
ture.it will necesgarily.be subjected to discus- -
sionand criticisui v and very probably to a-nate
rial alteration. in - view of the almost unan,
inous desire for a revision of theXonstitution,
it seems altogether unnecessary to submit the.
'question of calling a - convention to *popular'
vote. Publiaaentinrept has already di‘cided that
point,and the Legislature need fiat' hesiude to
take the'resporisibility'oforderingan election of
delegites. r That feature of thlt L bill inti•l'
mates that
.the , resent .CoiMitutieri is to be,
amended only, instead of.undergoing. a tho
rough revision and , rdttonstruction, will
scarcely be satisfactory to` the people. Let
psi have a' thorough reformation while
we are about • it; and not, attempt to- patch .
and enlarge the strileture which the State and
-its eitilens have obviously outgrown.; The pro
posed eoinpensation of twelve . dollarS per diy
to the clelegateS4B..,too large. 'The best talent in
the State cannot be bought at 'that rate; while
the sum proposed, is still so great its to tempt
unworthy and venal men to seek an election.
Whoever is chosen ss a delegate to this,Conven
tion should be . selected for his bonestvecapacitm
and practical business. talent, and such men wilt
not expect to receive much inofe than their ne
eelistir:y personal expenses.- The services of the
delegates who should compose the Cadventiori
cannot be paid for. with money, and to offer a
'liberal salary hi only setting - a premium upon
incompetence f '
Ttrellit ;Eat% n s someg'ood provfsion;, but
they will require a change. 'As remarked
above, there is no neceshity of submitting •
the question of a convention to the people,;
ple •
• they have already decided that ti convention
shall be convened as early as'possible. There
i•
s also nOTeason for postponing it so .long.—
The eau be passed in -Februayan'tlec
tion for Members ordered in ApJll,lwho can
meet in May ; and frame a Constitution to
be submitted to the people at tire ensuing •
'October election. The amendments will-be
)fully discussed, and if we send able delegates
who will attend to the business, and eschew
mere office-seekers, who want to make a' job
of it, they . can amend the - ConstitutiOu in a.
-three months' session; better than - others
could if they sit ' nine Months. Elect able
and practicable . men, Who will have to make
a sacrifice- to go, and they wilt perform
the business in a short lithe.. In October,
1871, there is neither a Governor's not Pre* .dential election, and of course but little party
. ,
..Acitement, - and the people can vote freely
o
o the Constitution. The people donot de:-
sire ally special election on this.question,..ex
cept to elect delegates to the Convention.

From the f&regoing analysis it will he been
that. the refined- east iron of the new process
containing but one twenty-fifth of the isilieon,
and, notwithstanding the sulphur given to it
-by the sulphuretio in the fluorspar, it contains
less than one-half the sulphur, and about the
same athotint of phosphorus, as compared with
the Hoop' L bar iron. This in the most cele
brated wrought iron in the world; and is used
exclusively' for making steel, and sells in Sher
•field at £24 per ton.- The analysis of the steel
of the new process Shows, as compared with
Sanderium's and Krupp's, that.while the latter
are alloys 'of carbon, Silicon, sulphur, phos
phorus, etc., that the steel of the new process is
practically pureiron and carbon.
In one'.er the articles front NATvrtn, before
referred to, it is stated, "To make perfect steel,
they take out all of these latter, and leave noth-.
ing but pure iron and carbon. Absolute : per
' fection Is not, of course, practically attainable
in&teel 'making, but it is approximated in ex
•actly-the same degree as the purification of the.
,-iron tram everything except carbon is effected."
Persons wishing to satisfy themselves of the
value of the process by a test, should use the
ordinary boiling puddling furnace,-fettled with'
the pert red hematite, or .specular ores, con
taining t e least silica, such as the Iron Moun
tain ore of Miss Missouri, which is the best for this
purpose, !round and applied wet, with the .
— ls
ordinary "bottom," made in the manal way;
and when perfect east steel is required that cop=
tains neither silicon, sulphur, nor phosphorus,'
good pig iron thould be taken, such as No. 1 or
'- "Iron Mountain," "Pioneer," or the English
hematite pig irons, and treated with pnre 'fluor
spar, such as is• supplied by Mr. W. H. Wilde,
of 301'01ive street, St. Louis; and titaniferous
iron ore from the Bay of St Paul's, in Canada,
containing over 43 pe• cent, of titanic acid, or
from near Westport, New York; containing
over 35 per cent, of titanic acid ; using 48 lbs. of
fluorspar to 118 lbs. of titaniferous iron ore.
They should be ground to fine powder .and
mixed, and charged dry, evenly over the bot
tom of the furnace.; and 475 lbs.. of pig iron
should then be charged upon them, and the fur
nace closed, acs as to exclude all air, for . about'
70. minutes. The fire should be kept at the,
highest temperature. After the metal has been
In the furnace this period; 'samples should be
taken from the bath at intervals of five minutes:
A little , experience will soon determine the
proper time to stop the process.
It is best not to allow the workman attending
the furnace to stir or work the metal during the
c4n.version, as the fluorspar and titaniferoui ore

labor that should , be allowedsis that of removing steel from the furnace erthe required stage

The time occupied in conversion of the steel,
from the charging of the pig iron, is 1 - hour An d
40 rolnutet; this time may be shortened 30 to
40 minutes by previdusly relining the cast iron
of all ils silicon and about three-fourths of its
phosphorus, by a shorter ,and more economic al process. This latter process is also the inven

r COAL MINING, AND, ACCIDENTiI IN MINFA.. •
As preparations are now being tnade to
:insure the, carrying .of the Mines Regulation
Bill, of last session - early in the next; with the
introduction of a clause having for its object the
appolnttiient of additional Inspectors; it is im
portantthat everylnformation tending to_
ttiriyor
lighten the best means whieban be adopted to
prevent accidents in coal mines should be made
publfe. Amongst thcski 'points 'which itnmedi
atOlY bear on the subject may be mentioned the
mode of working coal In different districts.—
We are not aware that any; official enquiry in
that directicin has ever taken place ' • but we do
know that for many months past the attention
of theleading, members of the Midland Insti
' tute of 'Mining Engineers has 'been given to it,
and . 'several very valuable papers, have been _
' read otithe subject, and published in the Mrk
iscOetwitst, all of them being the result of
.dong,-praetical experience. The _object to be'
attained in the working of the coal is stated , in
'the papers to allieb we have alluded, is to as
certain that systemwhich would give the largest
amount of marketable coal at a minimum cost,
with the greatest security - to the life of
working miner. It would Appear ' that dif
Terent districta different methods are adopted.'
In the.oldest - of our coal fields, in Northumber
lagdan .Durhant, where the seams vary from
3 tb 7 feet, the mode Of working is -mostly what
is kno'wn as bond and pillar, and it. is shoWn,
that in those districts the mbrtality froth acci
dents in. mines is Much less than in any other
n the. Acingdom, whilst the quantity of coal
'raised per man employed is shown be eon
aiderabli.larger. also. It is also - true Abet men
who understand the northern system of work
.lng find* ready market foolieir talents; tweet+
in all parts of.-the country'we. find Newcastle
.and•Eintam'inen placed lathe head of some of
thelargeet content*, manic of thetas, too, feeling
pt'ond in asserting that they commenced work ,
as "trappers," at eight or nine years - UT age,
when even the present tin/lied education of the
pit lads was unknbisn. We haie seen ilarsie
men whin in the midst of the dead and the dy
ing, after an explosion, and expecting others,
cool and _collected, giving their orders, and, by
their example Wand exertions, putting new life
into the timid and exausted in their efforts to I
save life. .
In Derbyshire, Nottingham, Leicester, - and
Warwick, where the coal will range from 1 feet
10 inches to 7. or $ feet, the system generally
adopted in that known as long wall. Tbete
however, much less gas iu some of those dis
trietS than in many ethers.. In Yorkshire,
where the coal is of a very fiery character, and
where the eiplositanif from fire-damp:have been
attended with the most serious 1t15.. , f4 life
known in the history of mining; seveta,l - Me
thods of Working are adopted, including long
wall, bord and pillar, and bauk work.- - There
kre also different method*, we believe, adopted
in Lancashire; where fatal accidents from explo
sions, daring the last year have been of a very
serious 'diameter. _
From those few facts it will be readily per
ceived.that much valuable information nottlit
be -obtained by our leading mining engineers
giving the results of theft experience am to that
mode - of workifig coal in different distri , ts with
which they are eonneeted—of course, what
.would fie suitable for one place would not be for
another-wand where-the same seam of coal, the -
Cittiditiona being alike, are worked by two dif
ferent methods: This would be a valuable ad
dition to whathas already, beeu given on the
subject, As to the advantages of, different sys

.Another very Important subject In connection
with colliery operations is the best Inode cif ven
tilation: We are not aware thatany cobilidera
ble increase in that very important diratich of
mining education• has been advanced of late
years, although its importance in many districts
is i,rlcn almost paramount character. Fan ven
tilation is by, n” means new, although of late it
has been prominently brought under notice in
connection with Guibal's patent. The fan 14ys
tern, however, has been used in several' places,
and for many years.past it has been in success
ful operation at one orEarl.Fitzwilliant!m col-.
lieries, at Elsecar. The subject is one on which
much information might be given, and it is to
be hoped that be more fully enquired
.to than it has 'been, with a view to =ensuring
greater safety to the men Working, in collieries
wherg-quatititicil of gas are known -to accumu
late.
Much, however, as lms been Made by the ad
vocates for the appointment ut an additional
number of inspectors, and of the fearful loss.of
life in mines caused by explosions of tire-damp,
it appears to have escaped the notice of those
persons that . the largest number of deaths in
our collieries is caused by, amulents through
the neglect Of the workmen - tlfoinselves, and
which in most instances are really preventable.
Falls of roof and coal hive been the cause of
nearly double those which have restated froTh
explosions. Nearly all thetlovernment - Inspec_
tors. In their annual reports,itate that the cause
of a great many of the deaths. in mines is from
the deceased "'neglecting - to set props and
sprigs." BUt the question suggests itself, as
ha been put by one Inspector, "Was there not
abundant room for improvement in t e mel l hod
of timbering?"' .The subject of ventilation has
been frequently ihooted and discussed, but Om
relating to the 'timbering of the. roof is scarcely
ever heard mentioned, yet' the deaths in connec
tion with it are of daily occurrenei in our min.'.
ing dist s rlets. ' That we have notreiverratcd•lts

Take the Jarrow Works, started, in. 1352, three
miles hom the mouthof the Clyde. They cover
l acres of ground, employ 5,000 men, have tri
butary to them the blast furnaces and coke
ovens in Walisend and the, Port Mulgrave iron
mines: They have increased the population of
;arrow in eighteen years from 600 to 22,000
souls. They have constructed the - harbor of
Port .Mulgrave at a cost of $150,000, and have
two iron. screw steamers, and other vesselsk
constantly employed carrying' to them the Irma
ores. They hive machine shops—soma conta i m

boiler and forge shops, with steam hutment
weighing seven' tons; . rivet making sheds;
blast furnaces for pig iron ; kentlege and other
Castings; rolling mIIIN, making 460 tons of
