Much attention is a^in being given to the question of a resumption of work in the iron trade, and there are those, and not few in mimtor, who predict that a settlement will be brought about l>etween employers and employes inside of ten days, and that this means'the beginning of good times for Pittsburgh once more. Whatever grounds there may be for this belief, it is certainly rery generally held among financiers and merchants. Should it prove true it will be the financial salvation of many small trailers whose living was depedndent upon the prosperity of the laboring classes. MNIilMJ I N.NlTKKI> Nil IPS.

I'iiiLADEi.i'iiiA, August 21.?An investigation into the loss of heavily insured vesfc-U from Mexico to the United States reveals some startling facts quite as sensational as the attempt to sink the bark L. E. Cann. The Dos Ainigos, a large bark, with a cargo invoiced as sugar and insured for?$07,000 in the Atlantic Mutual Marine Insurance Company of New York, was lbst in aj manner suspiciously like the Caun, and the steamers of tlic Alexandre Mexican Line have several times since reported having seen her floating in the Gulf with holes bored in her hull. Subsequent inquiries at Vera Cru/. disclosed the fact that the shipment of such a <~.uyo as the Dos Amigos was supposed to Jiave ken loaded with, was not only improbable but almost impossible. The insurance was, however, subsequently paid. A Mexican shipper, speaking to a reporter rImiih the issuing of bogus cargoes, says: "Tbe ilrst transaction of the kind of which I have any knowledge was in 1870, but i have been unable to lind the record and 1 cannot now recall the names of the vessel or of the i?ersons implicated. A man named Zorilla seems to have been the pioneor in the business. In 1878 he shipped a cargo of merchandise to New York from Vera Cruz. That cargo was invoiced at V27,(?00, arid was insured in the American Llovds. The brig Unique was selected as ti* vehicle " of that venture, and dm was said to have sunk to the twwoin of the ocean, without any provocation whatever, beforo she had been a week at sou. The next venture was tlie Dos Amigos, in which the Atlantic Mutual was the victim to the tune of $7S, &?, and now we have the L. K. Cann, with a cargo invoiced at $120,000. In both these instances Mr. Lane seems to have been interested, and in the latter he had for an associate a man named Granes, who is a new accession to the former fraternity. In this instance the Philadelphia company sought to be tnade the victim, for the reason, probably, that the New York companies had become too well posted in tliAt'sort of business to be Again drawn into tin. Inin It is positively stated thai theCarin was three months in the harbor of Vera Cruz picking up her alleged cargo, and wca charging tremendous mte3 for transportation of freight?fully two-thirds more than is charged by the Alexandres. This is a highly suspicious and Bignificant fact, going to show the boldness and audacity oi the Can 11 fraud. Tnrlir <'?iiiiuiHHloii Topic*.

Tlio Convention la to bo hold in th Grand ,Stand (a kind of hugo covered jja! lory), on the Lewis County Fair Grounds The plnco is about a mile below \Vc.stor 011 the lino of tho Weston & Clarksburg li Ii., niul on the banks of tho West Fori Kiver. During the sessions of tho Conveu tion tho ItiMlroad Company will run tniin from Weston to tho Fair Ground and back every twenty iniuutes?so Ilia tho crowd, and there will evidently bo; hirgo one present, may liavo a chance I dilute. Tho Committee of Arrangement* whereof Mr. Win. JS. Lively is Chairman seems to be at sea. l'oor fellow, ho lui made every effort to enthuse tho Dome eracy, and induce them to aid phy.si cally and pecuniarily, in making th needed arrangements; but tho mei seem to be sullen and tho ladies in different. Were it not for John Miltoi Steele, a sewing machine agent from Mon ongalia, who is really active in his efforts I fear the Democratic delegates would b< received as is any other cargo of third-clos. freight. However, I hope to see a kind o revival before tho momentous day comes Tim citizens of the town, both ltepublicam and Democrats, have tendered rooms nu< "shako-downs" in their houses for the usi of delegates. Weston is well enough uro vided with hotels for a town of its size and even the crowd expected on Thursday can easily be fed at the taverns. Sleepiuj room was the trouble, and this difficult) has been removed by the action of the citizens. The estimates of the crowds expected t< 1.,, .1., w.l. Tl.,. f^ll U? pwuuiuu UUt VIVI V IIIUI.II.

The idea is, it Is" alleged; to ob tain the aid and assistance of the brethrei from Wetzel, and learn from first hand: the Democratic mode on Fishing creek Dr. Kunst, the President of the railroad informed me yesterday, that the com pain had made every preparation necessary, aiu that they could airy any number of pcopli who might attend." Col. Dan Johnson took in Weston afte; his experience meeting at Clarksburg, had a brief chat with him, and I canno say that he either looked or talked like i candidate with bright anticipations, lit has but few acquaintances here, and the fact that he is a pronounced prohibitionia did not lind favor in the eyc3 of the "active" workers. Dan is too light-colored foi a dark horse, apd lacks the personal popu larity to make him a dangerous oppo nent. lake, brother Lively, he will hi "prominently mentioned" once more, anc then he will again return to the shade o his willow tree in Tyler, there to remaii until the next Congressional campaign. The news from Clarksburg has not cans ed any peculiar thrills of joy to stiffen tlu Democratic spine. It is universally admitted that K. M. Turner and John Basse' will be defeated. Judicious action on the part of the Itepnbiirans.of Ilarirson, wit! Hen Wilson out of the way and the righi kind of candidates,willgire us Harrison In a majority that will throw the Democratic majority in Braxton into the shade. Again, it is understood that Mr. Turnei will come here loaded clear to the muzz It with a Free Trade speech, which must bt tired oif at nil hazards, lie bos been ir travail on this subject for a long time; am August24 and the Weston Fair Grounds is named as the time and place of accouch menu An ugly rumor reaches 'qs thq: Col. Ben will be hero to afsist in the opora tion; and that he boldly asserts, on hi: reputation as a political surgeon, that Tur ner is troubled with a tumor, or bus worms ?simply that, ami nothing more. Tin diirereneo of opinion among doctors wil undoubtedly cause a "disturbance" of con sjderable dignity. The oppouentu of Col. Wilson, it js alsc understood, will introduce a rcsolutioi condemning the members of Congress whe voted for the passage of the Kiver am Ilarbor Bill. In opposing this, the Colo pel's friends will be ably seconded by tin strikers for Qamden, who are delegate; from Lewis, Braxton and other counties At all events, there seems to be enougl combustible material to make "right smari of a lire," and the Apostle of Free Tmdi from Clarksburg is nominated as the in pendiary. Outside oi these two matters, though, ji is generally believed that the conventior will be a tolerably orderly one, and that it will ratify the work already prepared for ii by the bosses without any serious rupture true "a fellow can't most always tell. "But judpinp by present appearances, the nomi nation of Good will be rushed through bj mere force of numbers. Turner and his resolutions will be S4t down upon, $nd r flatforin will be adopted on the'plan of th< ndia rubber hand?you can extend 01 contract it to suit every purpose with bqi the slightest effort. The prospects for the Clarksburg conven uon on tiiu sum are glorious, in nil m> experience 1 never knew the Republican*! to be so thoroughly in earnest or bo hope ful of success. And let me guy here, tlia if the party in other counties will follow the example of Lewis county?nominnt< good ipeu and get right down to solid work a Republican majority In the IJ01160 o Delegates is not an impossibility, by anj means. The Republicans here have"mad< arrangements for an excursion train tc Clarkiiburu on the 30th, and the delegate; from Lewis, Gilmer and Jlraxton, aocoin nauied by the Weston Cornet band and 1 large number of people, will go to Ciarks burg, as proud, happy and hopeful a set 0 men as can be found in West Virginia. A Republican Senatorial Convention.foi this district has been, called, to meet a Phillppi, on the 14th day of September The place selected is not a'good one, in mj judgment; but nevertheless the Repubh cans expect to nominate a candidate'then who yrin. The djstricK on the (jar field vote, va3 so mpejj p)n?er tin democrats anticipated, tliat they an alarmed at the prospect.
