Scammon is President, Mr., Bcammon's banks having already so much monay belongin; Yo banlrupt companies on deposit witl him, this new attompt to gob hold of an estate of §400,000 is characterized s ono of the most brazen things of tho kind yob wit~ messed in bankruptoy, it being' considercd that {Page is an o::sider, "that he is not oven o crod- litor, that Lo has no'sort of intorast in tho ealato, Sn oy shupoor form whatever, aud that ho i not & professioual Assigneo.

The sale of lands of delinquents in the matter of tax-paying is proceeding from day to doyab tho ofiico of the County Trensurer and Colloot- or. Theeala bogina each day at about 10 o'clook in tho forenoon, and usually lasts ono hour. It has becn tho policy of Collestor Rumeoy to so rogulato procoedings ss to obtain’tho most monoy without rosort to oxtromities. For a por- ‘tion of lnst wook tho delinquent taxes waro paid quite rapidly, nnd 80 very few pioces of land wero sold ; but this wools the rocoipts havo fallen off materislly, and, in consequenco, tho number of sales hes incrensed. Tax- title donlers aro. on hond | in Abun. dance, and the sales do nob progress half rapidly onongh to suit thoir notlons, Their notions, however, are_nob consulted by the, Oollector, whoss only dssire is to secure tho payment of tho' taxes with asfew snlos'as posaiblo, ~Dolin- uonts noed not delay on this nocount, Ho is :‘boxoughly in earnest in the mattor of colleet- ing tho taxos, and thoir landa will surcly bo sold unloss thoy come forward with their monoy. Just now the salea aro confined to the Town of Lake, but it i8 oxpacted to reach Chicago caxly next weelk. All of which golnu this” moral: Pay your taxes at orce, and thoreby suve much ‘monoy and vexation to yourselves. BROKEN RAILS ON . RAILWAYS, Buntavarox, Tows, Mareh 11, 1873, To the Editor of The Cifeago Tribuno: Sin : Your artiolo on steel rails.was correct in the main, thongh requiring alight modifications; Tho demand for rails of this sort is so great ns tomako tho supply of iron ore of tho quality which will mako thom less than the demand, all over the world ot prosont. Belioving, as I do, that steol is not at all nocessary. for this purposo, ond only a useloss oxpenso, I will give my ren- #on# a8 briefly as possible : Mr. Sandboerg, o Swedish' engineer, rosidont in Tondon, who has given this subject much closo attontion, declares that, #Although n good steol rail is genorally thrico a8 strong as iron, when puncked, or the flango is oracked, tho iron may bo tho strangor. The aloel is made as soft ag possiblo, .. . . . fornotbyharducss, but by | homogenoity, is it superior to iron.” This lnst assortion i8 well known to bo true. Rails, 88 ot prosent made, are af firat rolled into ulabs as wide and thick ns tho ‘hand, and long enough, when eixof thesoare piled fo- gether, to mako the rail of any desired longth. "Thaso aro then wired togethor into a “ faggot,” “heated over, and rolled into s rail. This lnst heating gonerally injures the iron very much. It seldom or never becomes properly welded to- gother, and each glab soon sealos and laminatos by ituolf into thoso long splintors which may be -gecn on_nuy woll-worn traok, Thia was not the onso with raila first used, which wore rolled, golid and “ homegencous,” slike all through, oul of o ‘bloom " of iron, _Old-fashioned rails, that had beon used 13 to 16 yenrs on n Westorn road, on being sont to a modern_rail-mill to bo re-rollod, came back in such a condition that they ‘wereusedup, on the sameroad,in less than & yonr, A fow yoars, Mr, Blackstone, Obief Engincer of tho Allogheney Valloy Road, at Pitteburgh, bad n dozen ralils rolled in'tho old-fashioned way, sud {hmed in tho most used part of his track, Ab ho last accounts thoy had outworn several sots of common rails on'the other side, and were as fund an ovor. This would soom to indioate that t is not stoel rails that are needod, 8o much o8 o good quality of iron, and a cessation of tho }Jrnunm abjectionablo mode of rolling iron rails. onght to bo forbidden by statuto, I it can bo atopped {u no other way. 2 "'ho rail, which ought tobo tho most honost pert of o reilroad, sinco so many lives do- end upon it, §& gonorally tho object of as much iobhury as guy part of it. When ronds are bolug uilt, and are poor, any reils are taken that can bo bought with bonds,” Aftorwards, when thoy got rich, influential jobbers doniand this as their perqaisito, and glvo'as little for the mionoy they get as possible. ‘Tho statistics of good iron raila show that, for ordinary traflio, in this country or lingland, lhoy ought to lust ton yoars; noar Inrgo cities, ono- third of thnt time, ho lifo of o stool xail s about eix times that of piled iron. It is ver doubtful if the prosent quality of ntcol furnluhfi for rails is rs good as & fair enmple of iron, such 08 was gonorally usod twonty years ago.
