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.
