Birmingham, Ala., December 4 —in 1880 tbe cenauB gave Birmingham 3100 in habitants. I was here with Sam Randall a year ago last January, and then thev claimed about 15,000 or 18,000. To-dav they claim that the population is from .410,000 to 35,000 and that it is increasing at the rate of one thousand per month. ' AT AN EARLY HOUR there was as much noise and hum in the streets as may be hoard in Cincinnati Street railroad c.ara were in motion and one line to the park and suburbs is run by a steam dummy, which runs right into the heart of the city. Such ambitious notices as “Twentieth street and D avenue,’’ on the side of the street oars, may give you ■an idea of the ambitious manner fit which this arrogant young city is spreading herself. There are town lots enough laid off in the city and suburbs to .accommodate from one to two millions of population. The air was early darkened by the smoke from many furnaces and manufactories. THE TOWN has but few good, first-class buildings, but many are in course of construction. Bir mingham has a scattered and I-don’t- know-whether-I-have-come-to-stay-or-not appearance. This indicates too much of a apeoulative spirit. That is a drawback upon the rapid and permanent improve ment of the place. But when values are jumping with joy every day in the wildest manner, people are not to be blamed if they are bewilderedand do not know what to do, THE FURNACES. After breakfast we started out to visit some of the furnaces and mines, which contains about 80 per cent, of iron ore. At a rolling mill in the southern part of town we saw them using the kidney and brown hematite ore in the puddling turnae -.a, and turning it into iron without being con verted into pig. We found white men at the rolls and all the places in the mills and .furnaces which required skill, nerve and experience, but the numerous colored man was everywhere, filling all the minor places where rough work only is re quired, at wages ranging from $1 to fl.25 per day. These eight furnaces in blast here turn out about 1200 tons of pig iron per day at a cost of $8.50 to $9 per ton, ■and there is a clear profit of $6000 per day on product of pig iron alone. The iron is all coke made, and ranks the foundry No. 2 of Pennsylvania, and is but little iuferior to the Hanging Rock charcoal iron. They make their own coke from coal mined at .surrounding mines, which sells for about 4 cents per bushel—the coal, not the coke. The coke is all used at Birmingham, and there are hundreds of new coke furnaces being built to supply the local demand. THE ONLY DRAWBACK to the town is the absence of a stream of water. The town is about sixty miles from navigable water that leads to tide water ■on the south and about the same distance from the Tennessee river on the north. The history of civilization and of cities -shows that their never has been a great city located away from a stream of water. Neither was a;great city ever built up in a joining region in America. There is a great future for Birmingham, but there will be greater cities in Alabama, and they will be built up on the natural wealth that slumbers in the soil around this young giant. Mobile, which now seems to be slumbering, is bound to catch the impulse •of the new life with which Birmingham’s enterprises are.filling the south, ana there is bound to be a great city, greater even than Birmingham, at soma point in the northern part of Alabama on the Tennes see river. THE RED MOUNTAIN. In the afternoon we took a train and run south about seven miles to the mines to see ■the wonderful veins of red hematite ore. We made slow progress in a caboose at tached to an iron and coal train, but in about an hour we reached the ore dumps -at the foot of the hills, and getting out we began to ascend the Red mountain, one of the scattered spurs and little ends of the Appalachian range of mountains that be gin in New York and range southwest through Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, the Carolines, Tennessee and Georgia, and finally melt away in central Alabama. Birmingham is located at the hammered- dowu end of this great mountain range, and .before it disappears. Nature seems to have exerted herself in showing ho w lav ish she could be of her inexhaustible stores ■of wealth by spreading them with a prod igal hand over the surface of Alabama. We climbed a hill, known as the Red -Mountain, which is from 300 to 500 feet high. These hills have much the same characteristics that you find in the hills south of Lancaster and in the Hocking valley. I mean as to timber and outward appearance. Oaks and pine grow on the tops. We climbed to the summit and there beheld a revelation that IS TRULY ASTONISHING. After removing a few inches of soil a twenty-two foot vein of red hematite iron -ore sticks right out on the mountain top. Hundreds of men were engaged in mining -it, as sandstone is quarried in the Hocking hills. The ore seems to be formed ot -countless millions of little shells, and is much like the limestone of which the Ohio capitol is built, and which comes from w est of the Scioto river, near Columbus. This wonderful vein of ore dips at an angle of about forty-five degrees to the east or northeast, and ufter running down a dis tance spreads out on a level. It is esti mated that there is enough within sight or Birmingham to last for ten thousand is superb. The valley of the warrior, as level as a floor, speeds away for miles. On the west may be seen the smoke ascending from the engines at Pratt mines and the edge, of the Black Warrior coal fields. Within a range of a few r miles may he found the limestone, the iron ore und the coal, all the essentials to make iron. A like condition of affairs and association ot minerals are not found at any other place in America. . . ,. Farewell to Pennsylvania! She cun tie ■crape on her door.

Stockholders nf the Oeesn National Hank Want Information. Washington, Decembers.—From time to time since, M’r. W. L. Trenholm became i h >* h d ‘?ll , i‘ ri a e L to b “ 8 !? “P ceeding by church-going people of all de nominations. conroller of the currenc", he has reeived letters from persons in New York and else where, inquiring about certain alleged as- sets of the Ocean national bank, supposed to be retained by the controller of the cur- rency for the stockholders of the bank, and calling upon him for some explanation v , . *>1 of the failure of the receiver of the I tun 2? i3 , conf ! ider ? d a . n extraordinary pro bank to account to the stokholders * or those assets. It is anparent to Mr. Trenholm that there is some potent reason for pursuing these inquiries, but it is not clear to him why they should he made the subject, of a new investigation of a concern long since settled up, so far as the government is concerned. The Ocean National bunk was robbed by burglars in December. 1870. It was in debt to the clearance house, and this and other em barrassments caused by the robbery led to the appointment of Mr. Theodore M. Davis as receiver Mr. Davis’ manage ment of the trust confided to him did not entirely satisfy Jthe stockholders or the creditors. It became the subject of con gressional inquiry and was criticised by the investigating committee. Yet on April 20, 1882, the controller of the currency closed out his connection with the bank, aud he lias since had nothing to do with the wrecked concern. Mr. Davis had then E aid to each creditor, depositors andstack- olders included, all their claims nt par and 224 per cent, interest upon their claims. There remains unpaid 774 per cent, of the interest on claims. The assumption is that there is a desire on the part of some one to revive an interest in the affairs of the bank in order that some of the assets remaining at the time of the last settlement, and which were dis tributed among the creditors, may be given a value which they have not hither to commanded. Among the assets were some bonds of the Portage Lake Canal Company. According o the report in May, 1880, of the committee on banking and currency of the forty-sixth congress, Receiver Davis had been guilty of violation of the law in his administration of the bank’s affairs, and he had, as they say, bo attempted to use his ofHcial position and the securities of the bank as ultimately to control, and, in connection with bis confederates, to own the bonds and fran chise of the canal company, or to make large profits from their sale. But if he had been “crooked” the committee was not keen enough to find his tracks. Since he ceased to be receiver he has become the ; president of a Company formed upon the I wreck of the Portage Lake Canal Compa- ! ny. Whatever the character may be of I the assets still held by the creditors to se- ! cure payment of the interest claimed by them, it is understood that offers of one- MARUKYM BY TKI.EOH A »• II.

Atlanta, December 8.—Several years ago a special act was passed requiring the tax collector of Fultou county to deposit the funds with the treasurer of the state and county every Saturday, or when dur ing any week the state funds exceeded *5000 or county funds $3000, deposits Were to be made immediately without waiting for Saturday. The comptroller reported to the governor that Tax Collec tor Wilson had never made any deposit, aud yesterday Governor Gordon served a notice upon him to show in live days why he should not be removed for violation of the law. To-day the collector saw the governor and explained the matter to him which explanation is set out in the follow- ’"“Officeof the Tax Collector of Fulton County, Atlanta, Ga., December 8, 1888.— In explanation I have simply to Bay that | I had satisfactory reasons for not paying I the funds on hand for several weeks into I the treasury, to-wit; I paid the ! drafts upon me for the commissions j of the tax receiver and of the city, and ! county school commissioners tor the | school fund due the city and county. !
