Tlic lest veto message of President Jhlmson

“The Iron Age.”
This Is tiro title ol a paper published in Now
York purporting totso a' “ Hardware, Irou aud
Industrial Reporter," and devoted.of course to
' the advocacy of the manufacturing interests of
tire North, high protective tariffs, and so forth.
From tlds‘‘/n>H Age " wo sonretinres gather
facts that become usefttl to, and favor us often iir
the discussion of political questions. We have
one ot these facta before us now which illustrates
most forcibly how even the manufacturing Inter
ests of the North are suffering from the present
)x>litiral distraction that reigns all over tho coun
try—a state of tilings that paralyses commerce
and seriously affects' the manufacturing enter
prises of the North, white it absolutely, with all
Iter agricultural resources and mineral wealth,
prostrates the South—tlto section that produces
more real wealth according to tire established
theories ot political economists, titan any oilier
section ot the so-called United Stales. In Hits
•• Iron Age" newspaper we notice the follow ing
which i3.copied from the Pittsburg Commercial,
and if the old adage be true, that ‘'misery loves
compatiy,” wo oi the South will be pardoned
wc trust, if wc welcome tho “Cotton Manufac
turers” of the North into onr company, and
sympathize with them at their mistake in having
ns their acknowledged leader such a man as
Thjddeus Stevens, of Lancaster, in the State of
Pennsylvania—a man whose iron interests are
ably sustained by the “ Iron Age " We quote as
follows:
The proprietors Ot Lite cotton mills in Alle
ghany City have notified their employees that a
redaction of twenty per cent, in the wages is
necessary to enable them to continue their estab
lishments in operation. The Eagle and Haulier
mills lmve been closed lor several weeks, the
Anchor closed yesterday, and the Penn will sus
pend during Hie present week, unless the em
ployees signify their willingness to continue
work at the reduction. The proprietors state
tliat owing to the decline in prices of the quality
of goods manufactured by them, they have been
operating for a year past at an actual loss. They,
however, continued, under the expectation that
business would revive during the spring and
summer. These hopes have not been realized,
and they now find their warehouses filled witli
manufactured goods, and no prospect of dispos
ing of them until the opening of tho fall trade.
Under these circumstances, it was proposed to
discontinue operations during tho summer
months, but being fearful that tho employees,
who are nearly all skilled artisans, would seek
for employment in oilier fields of labor, and
could not be secured upon the resumption of
business, it was decided to propose an average
reduction in wages of twenty per cent, 'flic
Auchor will resume business on Monday next,
in case the hands are willing to accept the rate
of wage.? proposed. A report was in circulation
yesterday that the places of the late employees
ij) the mills would bo filled by the females be
longing to the families of the Prussian emigrants,
who arrived in the city on the 21st ultimo. We
mode inquiry into the matter, and learned that
there was no truth wiiatever in the report. It is
merely proposed to continue the mills in opera
tion in ortjer to fnrnish employment to tho regu
lar hands, and in ease they refuse to accept the
proposition, the mills will be allowed to remain
idle. Tho question will be decided on Monday
morning, at which time tho operatives will have
an opportunity of announcing their decision
And so it is with Hie cotton manufacturing
and other manufacturing Interests of the North
and East. Tho “prmure," as the philosophic
“J. N.i’ hath it, is upon them all, and we ven
ture to suy it will remain fastened upon, them ail
until Congress changes its course of legislation,
1 1 "■"!ll.l.y"4int ll >'‘'»n , w'i iiicTi-sen-sevens,
Sumner, aud a tew others ot the modern Jaco
bins Hint lmve done, and are doing so much to
constitute lliis as an iron <tgc indeed. The day
ot deliverance, however, must come. YVe antici
pate its early appearance, for wo perceive Hint
the “pocket nerve" of the North is becoming
eentilite in its manufacturing interests, nml when
that is touched, the political leaders who have
brought the “nit nation” upon tho country, may
look out for what is said to be the "order of nn
tore," CHANGE.
The crops.
It Is Btated in somo of our oxchanges that the
wheat crop'is not turning out so Well its had been
anticipated before harvest. This is said to bo
tho enso more particularly in Hie Southern States.
Yet wo expert tho aggregntu yield will bo con
siderably in excess oi tho crops of former years,
furnishing a respectalilo surplus abovo wlmt Is
needed for home consumption. Tills is ortr opin
ion ns at present advised. In East Tcuhcsseo
tho breadth of land sown was unusually largo,
and ns far ns thrashing has progressed, tho yield
Is good. We take it, from our more recent ad;
vices, Iltal East Tennessee will havo a heavy sur
plus, a good deal of which will bo rettdy for mar
ket in a short time. From tho heavier grain-
growing regions ot' tho West aud middle ground,
Hie newspaper accounts are favorable, and there
is reason to believe that, whatever else may (tap-
pen, tho supplies of food throughout Hie coun
try will bo nmplcnnd nlmudnntforthe liextycar.
The Boston l\>st takes this view of tho subject,
ami feels cheered over tho .prospect. It says:
“It hardly fails to suggest itself to nil reflective
minds at flic present time, that the almost cer
tain prospect oi abundant crops of all kinds is a
direct interposition of Providence in our favor,
for which our gratitude cannot lie too sincere.
Scarcly anything less worth! lmve scented to save
us from tho tlnanciai weakness and political dis
integration which lmve been imminent ns tho in
evitable sequence of unwise, passionate, and
headlong legislation. We are brought face to
faeo with tho simple fact, that everything rests
on our material prosperity, and nothing at all on
the slight and vaviablo schemes ot pnrty lenders,
li the people of Hie country can produce more
than is sufficient tor their current wants by their
honest industry, so that wo may consider our
selves strong beyond the power ot ambitious par
tis,ans to rule our destinies, we may continue to
believe, under favor ot Heaven, that nothing but
our own act is aide to overturn the foundations
ol our national stability, or supplant our institu
tions with the aimless theories of experiments.
We may thank Heaven for this new pledge ol
substantial wealth for the country, and accept it
the renewal ot a long lease ot national pros-
p l ily and happiness.”
The Pittsburg Comrllerciul also lias an article
tlto subject of crops, from which wo quote:
‘‘If a fair proportion ol Hie hopes entertained
ii; connection with the in-gatlieriqg nml alntn-
d nice of the crops shall bo realized, the business
red Hie financial condition ot the country will
b-. greatly improved. One of the two conditions
ot prosperity in the line of agricultural pro
ducts is, we may say, already established, viz:
an ample supply. An unusually extensive area
ot land is either now covered with a mature crop
ot wheat or has yielded it up to the storage ol
the stack or baru. Theother condition, demand,
is, of course, never wanting and always large ior
the articles of subsistence that mother earth fur-
nlsli'Os'directly from her bosom. Hut whether it
is to be ns much above the average ns the supply
is may be regarded ns highly problematical, or
rattier not at all probable. The crop prospects
are reported good in all places, or witli very
slight local exceptions.
We sympathize witli the general tone of glad
ness, and, we may add, ot gratitude to tire Divine
Giver of all good, lor tliu plenty that covers the
land. Alter onr times of comparative scarcity
and high prices, alter our years ol strife anil sor
row, when the heaviest harvests were those ol
the great, grim reaper, dentil, it is joyous to know
that, North and South, tpml l#r man and beast
lias been raised immI gathered in by peaceful in
dustry.’’

Dentil of lllshop Scott.
Tire Rev. Thomas Fielding Scott, the Episco
pal Missionary Bishop of Oregon ami Washington
Territories, died in New York on Sunday, 1 llli
alter a brief illness. He fell a victim to Panama
fever, which he contracted while en route from
California to New York. The deceased was
formerly a Presbyterian minister, but joined the
Episcopal Church, and was consecrated prelate
of Oregon and Washington Territories by Iiislio)
Elliott, of Georgia.
Bishop Scott was a native of Iredell county
North Carolina. He ouco edited an educational
journal at Macon, Georgia, preached for some
time at Columbus, also at Marietta, and but lately
was a prominent candidate for the Bishopric of
Georgia, made vacant by the death of the learned
and loved Elliott.
Our cotemporary of the Columbus fSuu says
Bishop Scott reached an exalted position in the
Church oi his choice and affection, not through
the influences oi accidental wealth or family
connection, but by tho appreciation of his per
sonal piety, learning, labors and worth. No
purer soul ever found rest and happiness from
this troublous world, in the bosom of supreme
wisdom and goodness.
Tub News at tiik Austkian Capita!,.—
The Vienna correspondent of tho Pall Mall
Gazette sends the following in regard to the
efleet produced at the Austrian capital by Hip
news of the execution of Maximilian :
The official announcement tins mndo an im
mense sensation in the capital. The greatest
sorrow is felt lor tire Emperors untimely death,
it was at first imposed' that the contemplated
journey of the Emperor and Empress to Parts
would no longer lie possible. 1 have, however,
been informed that a definite resolution on the
subject Ims not yet been tqkcn. A postpone
ment of the journey will, however, certainly
lake place. ' The imperial family is over
whelmed with griel, and they will lor a few
weeks live in complete retirement, which the
Emperor will share, so tar as the affairs of the
State permit. The journey to Paris, conse
quently, will not lake place at tire end of this
month, as orginally intended. It is probable
that tho visit will be paid at an alter period of the
year. Tho diplomatic relations between the
Cabinets of Austria and France are not iu the
least disturbed by the event; on tho contrary
they are, and will remain, as cordial as ever.

Now, we respectfully suggest that wo lmve

bad condition, morally, politically, anti socially,
but we question whether she is worse off than
that portion ol Hie United Stales which the
Radicals are subjecting to, we do not hesitate to
say, as mean a mililaty despotism ns lire land of

and consistency, hands off.
The Insolence of Office-Holders.—A
New York paper has lliis in reference to the in
solence of office-holders in that direction:
It is a common mistake (says the editor) to
suppose that persons holding office under the
Republic are servants of the people. II they
are ever called ‘public servants’ it must be iu
b iter irony; for it is quite evident that they arc
created, not to minister, but to be ministered
unto, and to grow fat and insolent out of the
p.ihlic crib, and upon tire public homage. Many,
it not most of them, are not content with being
over bearing and oppressive within tile limits ol
the law, but will stretcli the statute, or invent a
new regulation to cover any whim of their own,
or to meet their supposed convenience. There
are honorable exceptions to this rule. Here and
there a man is iound in office who really believes
that his duty is not to legislate, but to execute
tire law as It stands, and who is governed iu this
ly a sense of fairness and equity. A he
duty by . .
majority, however, assume more Ilian royal pre
rogatives, and are far less forbearing aud cour
teous than tire bulk ot officials under an absolute
tnonarcliy.” _
Hobiuble Tkaokdy in Kentucky.—'The

lowing :

It seems that a party of men, well armed, left

Digest of Georgia Reports.
We acknowledge the receipt from the pub
lishing house of J. W. Burke & Co., of Macon,
Georgia, one of the most complete and extensive
. establishments of the kind in the South, of "Ba
con’s Digest of the Decisions of the Supreme
Court of Georgia” from volumes 21 to 30 inclu
sive, for which our Macon friends will please ac
cept our thanks. The work, in its mechanical
execution will, compare favorably with similar
Northern productions, while it is highly com
mended by the committee of legal gentlemen
who were appointed by Governor Jenkins to
report upon it. It is also highly commended by
a joint committee oi the last Legislature, and
by Judge Walker of the Supreme Court of the
State. Every attorney in Georgia should have
it in his library. Wc learn that it is lor sale in
this city at Crew’s book stove.
The enterprising firm of .1. W. Burke A Co ,
to which we arc indebted for this legal work, we
are pleased to state, has demonstrated, in more
than one of its business departments, that work
can be done as well, and as cheap in Georgia, a-
it can lie in any Northern city. Ol this we trust
others titan their numerous patrons will pie
notice. In wiiatever pertains to laiok binding
■ aud printing, the Intelliokkckii Oftii e in
this city proposes to do the same. When will
our authors and merchants appreciate this im
portanl fact and learn to patronize their own
home institutions ?
Tub Indian Wail—Commissioner Taylor
says Hint “By simply retracing our wrong steps,
and by doing right, we can lmve all we want
from tlie Indians without war.” Tlto hostile
tribes are. anxious for peace : the friendly In
dians watch with regret Hie progress ol a con
test into which, if it is continued, they must
inevitably be drawn. Wc are spending money
foolishly and wickedly, and wo agree with the
New York Tribune that Hie war should lie
ended. “Recall the troops, proclaim a pence ;
make a just treaty with the Indians, and thou
let tire Government not only keep it strictly
itself, but make sure that it is not broken by
agents and traders. The issue is plain—imme
diate peace, or savage fruitless war—and Hie
Government cannot hesitate in its choice."
The Mormons.—Mammon divides Hie Mor
mons. It seems that the trouble between Brig

even among the Latter-Day Saints, that “root ol
ah evil” proves a root of bitterness. Filthy lucre
creates dissensions in the Church, and heretical
dc Hits about the sanctity and inspired character
of polygamy follow. All this augurs ill lor Mor

Different Kinds of Intemperance.—-The
New York Jour nut of Commerce but reiterates an
old truth, when it ndduces facts to show that
there is often a worse intemperance than that old
one of whisky or rum-drinking. It says:
“Some of tlie wildest and most quarrelsome
people tlmt we meet witli are reformers. Fourth
proof brandy could not make them crazier, for
all practical purposes, than the unchecked indul
gence of their ferocious desire to force other per
sons to think and act just as they do. Intemper
ance in tlie use of liquors may lead to good hu
mor, sometimes, but intemperance iu the use of
language, such as many reformers are addicted

body does not possess. It is an act of treason
ol the most flagrant character. Its uncoustltu-
tionality Is so glaringly patent, that it cannot be
regarded or treated as a law by any officer of
Ihu government who lias taken an official oalli
to support tlie Constitution, much less by one
who has sworn to protect, defend and preserve
it to Uio best of his ability. Ubcdienco to lliis
measure, as a law, involves disobedience to tin:
