TliA WAMhlngton situation.
All In quiet once more on the Potomac
Haye* roachc<! Waahington yeMerday in
aafety, huM already visited the Capitol,
hat been congratulated by tnen of both
'parties, and haa not yet met with bin
Brutus in the nhape of the brutal Piatt.
It is pretty Htife to Hay (list he will be
worn iu at high noon on Monday next
ai President of |hu United States, and
that there will be none In molest or make
him afraid.
Hayes is our President ior the next four
yearn. Let us all make up our mind* to
that. We greatly mis* our Kiiesn ?' he
does not give the country one of the bent
administration* known to it* history.
(J rant opened the way yesterday for him
for a Holution of the Louisiana iuibrog
Ho, anil all he ha* to do is to maintain
? the situation in that State an he limb it.
Aw (or South Carolina, the Chamberlain
government in that State is bound to fall
to piece* from it* own emptiness. If
Moses hat! only been well enough to appear
in court the other day, a decision
would have been hud in thu pardon case
referred to this morning tint would afforded
Chamberlain a good excuse
for stepping down and out, to his
own relief ami that of the new President.
Washington is of course full of rumors
a4 to the new Cabinet. Only one man
seems to be generally picked out a* vet,
Kvarts, the supposed Secretary of State,
It h said that Morton has bis man picked
out for Post Master General, Zick
('handler his son-in-law for the Navy,
and perhaph Cameron his eon Don for
hia present position In ihe War Department.
If Gov. Hayes wants to make a
bold strike for strength and populairty,
let him be cautious how he bends his ear
to the counsels of these men. Their experiences
valuable and not to be tlisregarded,
but their personal niufs ?re
quite another matter.
The Set* llenwood .Hill.
It is not quite a year since this important
Nail Mill was entirely destroyed by
tire. It's destruction was a great blow
to the village of lien wood, and especially
to the operatives of the mill, and fell
heavily upon many stockholders. Fortunately,
the company had an amount of
insurance that was so well placed on the
mxfjwrty as to make nearly all of it recoverable,
and thus gave them a salvage
of an important character around which
to rally and rebuild. The loss however
was still heavy, owing to the 20.000 keirs
f nails cousumed, in the mill :nul warehouse;'but
heavy as it wa* the company
\ determined to rebuild on a large and expensive
scale. They resolved to build a
mill that would never he destroyed by
tire, and to this end invited proposals for
| an iron mill.
L It was well into slimmer when the
company got fairly under way rebuild
ing. It is no small matter to put up such
u mill an is now to be seen at Renwood.
Contracts had to be made with various
parties for various parts of the extensive
work necessary to be done. The iron
part of the building, covering such an
immense area of rooting, was an important
part of the now establishment, and
next to it was the machinery. This machinery
included a new and powerful
engine for the Forge department, new
trains of muck and aheet rolls, a machine
shop, a large number of new nail machines,
a new water workj, and other details
too numerous to mention.
Sslowlv but surely the work of rebuilding
on the large and improved scale laid
out by the company has progressed, until
now they may he said to have arrived at
the consummation of their labois, and
to have completed the tin est nail mill in
the United States. It is entirely con tructed
of iron, stone and brick. There
id nothing about it that can burn, not
even the lloors in the nail factory, which
artt laid throughout with tire brick ou
end. The nail machines rest on heavy
iron, laid upon a l**d of rock as solid as
adamant.
Within the limits of our available
space we cannot hope* to do justice to the
many points about the now mill worthy ol
uieutiou. Almost all our people who art
especially interested in iron have visited
ii tiuring me run rite oi Ha election, and
the universal verdict id that it U a mcdel
concern in every respect. In cost, when
all the tini.-thiug touches are put on, will
be about $100,000?no amount of money
that several years ago would not have
gone much more thau half ax far a* ha*
goat* in putting up the new lieu wood Mill
The company paid cash lor everything
and consequently got hoi tout price* ii
tbeir'contracts. What is more and better
they got first class material and first claw
work. In this respect they have studiei
true economy.
The new Ueiiwood bun been built Upoi
the late-it and most improved pians for
naving any wante of excuse. It ban hi
arranged the boiling and beating fur
uaces with respect to the rolls, and tin
uuil factory with re*pect to piling am
flipping of nails, and the whole mill will
respect to the receipt of ore and pi)
metal by river and rail, and the receip
and distribution of coal on an elevate!
railway,a?to reduna distance, labor am
expense to the loweal* possible maximum
consideration* which, aa every mill mm
knows, are of the highest iuipnrtanc
these times.
This will be solid comfort to tbe ope
ratives in the mill, as compared will
their experiences under the old du
pennation. The main boiling deparlmen
is a building 177 by 75 feet, contains 1
boiling furnaces and space for four inon
and is so well ventilated that it canm
help being popular with the men wli
work in it. The same is true of the ai
tie*, or "country," as it is called, a built
iug 100 feet by 02, where there are eigl
boiling furnaces and room for two inori
The Forge building,covering the sijuee;
er, the roll*, and the big engine, is 12
feet by 1)4, and in jollied on the east b
the building that covers the Heating fui
ii aces and four batteries of steam boileri
two boilorn to the battery. Proper car
bu been taken to put the beating fui
naces far enough from the roll* to pre
lect the eheet rollers froui their heat, an
thus to greatly enhance the comfort of th
latter in warm weather. Indeed th
whole mill is arranged in all itn depari
menti upon the principles of comfor
convenience and economy.
The large engine in the Forge buildin
was built by Hoblw, Taylor A Co. I
ha* a 40 inch cylinder, a 4 foot stroke,an
a 40 ton fly wheel, and does itn work wit
as much ease as a locomotive hitched t
half a do/en empty cars on a dead level
Not the slightest sign of hesitancy o
quiver is discernable when the heaviei
plate goes through the rolls. Like
properly adjusted watch it carries it
speed at a j?erfect equipoise.
The principal building in rcspect I
size is, of course, the Nail Factory
which is 300 by 120 feet, and like all th
other buildings spanned by au i in men*
iron roof. This is a royal building? i
as light as day, and is thoroughly furn
iahed with the best equipments for all th
processes involved in making nails, sucl
as nail plate heating, blueiiq
furnaces, grind stones, tool cup
board*, null bins, parking spacc
shipping doom, and every convenient*
known lo (he business. The factor
has most admirable gas facilities, am
can he lighted as brilliantly aaany stor
in thin city. It ha# also the name appa
ratus a^ the I.aBelle Mills for hlowin)
away the dim from the grindstones, :
consideration ot importance to ever;
nailer. There are 4K of these grindstone*
ami of course they will make a great dea
of ddst. e4|?cially when they come 1
grind lor the 140 machines for which tin
factory is calculated. For the present
only 110 machines will pe put in opera
tion, to be increased by July 1st to sai
120.
Our space does not permit us to speal
at greater length to-day concerning th
new Henwood Mill. We uiight.well refe,
to its various minor improvements, sucl
as its water works, its git* house, its ad
mirahle machine shop, its tramway t
the river, its railroad trach, its coal rail
way, and its many other advantages an
conveniences tur the transaction of a
immense business. All these points are o
interest to many persons, but in orde
to be fully understood and appreciate*
they must be personally inspected. Th
facilities for reaching lien wood these day
are ?o many, that any one who has evei
an ordinary curiosity to see the new mil
in operation can easily and speedily mak
the trip. The street cars have almos
made Kenwood a part of the city, and, ii
addition to these, there are opportunitie
every hour in the day by boat ami rai
to go and come.
In conclusion we heartily congratulati
the good people of Kenwood upon th
starting up once more of this importan
establishment in their midst. It is t
them, indeed, the centre of a solar svstea
dispensing, like the god of day, the vivi
fving influences of all their prosperity.

is to deny a legal voter tho privilege of con
