Headley's Life of Washington.
A book thus entitled has been placed on
our table for perusal, and after a some
what careful examination we havo no hesi
tancy in commending it to the public.
Ilcadley, as is veil known, possesses a
captivating stvle as a historical writer :
and he claims that by reason of rcnt
collections of documents throwipg new
light on the war of the Itevclution, and
to which he has had access, he enjoys su
perior advantages over any other writer on
this subject who has preceded hipj. A
good life of Washington should be rpad
by everj child and youth of our laud.
e know that, by some he is considered
somewhat antiquated and too slow fortius
fast age; but nevertheless we believe his
example is worthy of all comnicud&tiou
and imitation ; and if the principles he
enunciated and enfbrped, 4uring his life,
tad been more genii rally taught and ob
served, our country would not not now bo
staggering ;mder an unexampled public
debt, nor yoald it be laboring under
.ot&er evils coscuent upon the blood
iest Civil War ou record. The fol
lowing extract from the book will serve to
give an iiba cf Headley's style as a
writer ;
" George was her eldest born, on whom, she was
,to rely in her old age, and she watched his early
.development with that solicitude a pious mother
only knows. She saw in him these generous and
noble traits which afterward distinguished him
marked with pride his manly scorn of a lie, his ha
tred of wrong and oppression, whatever the forms
they took, and his enthusiastic love of the great
.and the good. But she saw also a bold and im
petuous nature, which, when thoroughly roused,
was not easily laid a fearlessness and recklessness
of danger, that made her heart tremble, and it was
with prayers and earnest teachings that she sought
to place thit nature under the control of reason
and the law of right. Around that bold and pas
sionate heart she eastligature aftcrfcature, woven
from truth and duty and conscience, and bound
Jthem with maternal fondness there, till even its
wildest tbrobbings could not rend them asunder.
Right well and faithfully wa's her work done. It
stood the fiery trials of youth, the storms of battle
.and the temptations of ambition, and when at last,
.conqueror and hero, h leaned his bead covered
with honor., on her age4 shoulders, and wept as he
bade her farewell to take his place at the head of
the RepubKe which ha had saved, she reaped the
fruit of her labore."

The Suits Against Gen. Butler.
jln the suits against General Butler, plain
.tiff Honeywell accuses Butler of compell
ing him to charter the steamer Carlotta
to his brother's partner at $50 per diem
and that the vessel was then chartered to
Government at 350 per diem, that sub
sequently she was run in a private voyage
by Butler, alter which he compelled the
plaintiff to take $2,800 for the vessel,
though she was worth $40,000, and his
brother and partner received $40,000 for
her from the Government.: The other
plaintiff, Koarney, of New Orleans, alleges
Butler compelled him to give his brother
$70,000, wcrth of naval stores which was
paid in Confederate notes of $J,000 only
but, which notes Butler himself had pre
viously 'prohibited from being put in cir
culation. . After the stores were delivered
Butler's brother consigned them to Boston
where they were sold and the proceeds re
mitted to Butler. The Court took the
papers and reserved decision. ' . ' -

A Part ofour Political Creed.
A Radical friend of ours, for whom
personally wo entertain much respect, ro
ccntly remarked to us that he could not
understand how it is that we who, as he
averred, were exceedingly tolerant and
common-senso on every other subject
could hold and advocato such political
views as arc promulgate by tho Demo
cratic party. Wo, on the other hand, aro
quite as much at a loss to know how ho
can advocate and endorse the chief politi
cal dogmas of tho Radical party. We
cannot understand how any enlightened,
liberal, fair-minded man can cast in his
lot with a party which is doing all it can
to centralize power; a party which exempts
the rich from taxation j a party that ex
pends annually S15,000,000 of tho peo
ple's money in feeding, clothing and edu
cating big, lazy negroes; a party in favor
of a high Protcctivo Tariff; a party in
favor of Nigger Suffrago and Niggor
Equality; a party who, in tho last six
years, has run the nation in debt between
four and Gve billions of dollars ; a party
that taxes the hard-working man in such
way as to make him pooror and tho New
England manufacturer and capitalists cv
ery where richer; a party absolutely reck
ing with immorality, vico of all kinds,
and stcepod in corruption ; a party who
is guilty of innumerable violations of the
Constitution, and who has its foul hands
covered with the blood of thousands of its
murdered victims. Foroimclf we arc ex
cccdingly thankful we do not belong to
such a foul party.
The Democratic party, of which we are
proud tobe a member, believe that tho Fed
oral Government possesses limited powers .
that, in other words it possesses no powers
but such as are expressly delegated to it
in the Federal Constitution. Wc believe
that all other powers are reserved to the
States or the people respectively; that a
strict construction of the Constitution is
indispensable to the preservation of the
reserved rights of the States and the
rights of the people. We believe that
the preservation of the equality and
rights of the States and the rigl
of tho people is necessary to the
preservation of tho Union. We believe
that the Federal Government is unfitted
to legislate for or administer the local con
cerns of the States.
Wc believe that the tendency of fad
eral administration is to usurp the reserv
ed rights of the States and the people,
and that therefore, centralization of power
in its hands is an cver-impcuding dan
ger.
We believe that such an absorption of
power would be destructive of the liber
ties and interests of the people, and would
end cither in absorption or a disruption of
the Union.
We believe that a National Debt, be
sides impoverishing the people, fosters an
undue increase of tho powers of the fed
eral Government; that high protective
tariffs have a like effect, sacrificing the in
terests of the many for the emolument of
the few, and plainly violating the equity
and spirit of the Constitution.
We believe that uncquil taxation is a
plain violation of justice, of which uo
Government can safely and justly be
guilty.
We believe that to each State belongs
the right to determine the qualifications
of its electors, and aH attempts to impair
this right, either by Congressional legis
lation or Constitutional amendments, are
unwise aa4 despotic.
We believe that the tendency of power
is to steal from the many to the few, and
that therefore eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty; that the tendency of the
Government is to enlarge its authority by
usurpation, and therefore Government
needs to be watched.
We believe that freedom of speech and
of the press arjs essential to ihe existence
of liberty.
We believe that no person, not in the
military or naval service, or where the
civil courts are prevented by war or usurp
ation from exercising their functions, cc
lawfully be deprived of life, liberty fir
property without due process of law.
We believe that no" ex post facto law
should ever be macfe; tjiat, iq the lan
guage of the Supreme Court, "the Con
stitution of the United States is a law for
rulers and people equally in war and
in peace, and covers, with the shield of its
protection, all classesof men, at all times
and under all circumstances. No doctrine
involving more pernicious consequences
was ever invented by the wit of man than
that any of its provisions can be suspend
ed during any of the great exigencies of
Government ; such a doctrine leads di
rectly to anarchy or despotism."
We believe that the States which lately
attempted to secede are still States in the
Union, and have been recognized as such
by every department of Government.
Being thus in the Union, they stand on
an equal footing with their sister JStates ;
and, therefore, the exclusion by the so
called Congress of all representation from
ten States, the proposed exclusion of those
States from all voice in the next Presiden
tial election, the threatened overthrow of
their State Governments and reducing of
-tljose States to the condition of Territo
lies, are each and every one of them, nil
constitutional, revolutionary and despotic
measures, destructive not merely of the
rights of those States, but also of the
rights of every other State in the Union.
'We believe that these measures are
parts of a plan to nullify tho Constitu.
tion, virtually overthrow tho Stato Gov
ernments, to erect a consolidated despot
ism on their ruins, and to establish and
perpetuate tho tyrannical rulo of a minor
ity over a majority of 'the American
people.

REMARKS BY TIE EUfTQIl.
Ourfricud4,Libcrty" strongly intimates
that wo refused to publish his communi
cation of last week because wo feel unablo
to meet its arguments. ro aro told, also,
on tho streets, by soiqe, that they would
have bceu glad if we had published it.
Thuy seem to think that tho reasons we
gave for not publishing it arp untrue ;
aud that it bore quite heavily against our
article on Spiritualiwm. Now, m order to
silence all such caviling in order to
chow that wc do not at al! fear tho '! ia
surmountablo obstacles beforo" us so
graphically hinted at by " Liberty," ve
hero aud novr sUtc that his communica
tion of last week will appear in ouc next
issue. Whether wc fehall answer it or not
we do not now know. Wc think it prob
able wc shall let it fall still-born. Wc
most surely shall not enter into any seri
ous or labored argument tq prove the au
thenticity of the Hible. Wc shall proba
bly simply prick tho bladder he xbas
blown, in one or two places, and let that
suffice.
What In "OuelIore power?"
The use of tho term "horse-power," is
very common; yet few, except good me
chanics and engineers, attach a definite
meaning to it, but regard it as indicating
loosely, about the power, which one horse
could exert. It is, however, when med
in the scnc under consideration, as defi
nite as poHgible, aud means the power re
quired to lilt 33,000 pounds avoirdupois
ouc foot high in one minute. A horse
hitched to the end of a rope oyer a pulley
one faot in diameter placed over a deep
well, traveling at the rate of about 2 ,
miles per hour, or 220 feet per minute,
will draw up 150 lbs, the same distance he
travel. The force thus exerted is called
in mechanics, "hoisc-power," it being an
approximation to the average amount of
continuous power it is fair to demand of a
strong horse. If wc multiply the weight
raised (150 pounds) by the number of feet
it was moved per minute (220,) the pro
duct will be the number of pounds which
the same power would raiso one foot high
in the same length of time (33,000 lbs.)
The dynamometer is an instrument made
for measuring power, particularly that ex
erted in drawing. Those used for testing
the draft of agricultural implements are
very strong spring balances, or steelyards
graduated to indicate the power required
to raise any weight within reasonable
limit at the rate of 2$ miles per hour.
When we apply the dynamometer ia as
certaining the draught of machines, if the
index indicates 160 pounds, it is shown
that the horse is required to draw just as
hard as JLe would do if raising 150 pounds
out of a .well with a rope over a pulley one
foot in diameter at tho rate 2 miles per
hour, and so for other weights. Tho velo
city at which a team moves is to be consid
ered, as .yell as the weight to bo raised, or
the load to be drawn. If tho horse trav
els faster than 2 miles per hour, while
raising 150 pounds out of a well, he ex
erts more than one-horse power. If he
walks slower than this he does not exert
a force equal to one-horse power. In as
certaining the draught of a plough, or
mower and reaper, by drawing faster than
2 miles per hour, the dynamometer would
indicate more than the correct draught:
and by driving slower, the draught would
appear to be less than it "really is. In
testing the 'draft of machines a team
should always move at the rate of 2
miles per hour, or 220 feet per minute,
which is the universally accepted rate
with reference to which dynamometers
are graduated, and an easy one to which
to approximate in driving with almost any
kind of team. ;
A Horrible Death. -A horrible ao
cident, sas the Nevada Transcript of tho

Triciiin.k. The Scientific American

Mis Lida Jordan, ot Maine, Iowa, re
ceutly died of trichiniasis, having eaten of
diseased pork last spring. On post mor
tern examination, her flcah was found to
be filled with tho worms. "Hog cholera
as the dieac is called in tho animal is
raging throughout Illinois aud northern
Kentucky, and dofving all remedies. A
Western carcass, apparently healthy and
unusually fat, was examined iu Oswego, a
few days since, revealing millions of trich
ions in a mouthful (!) of fat, varying from
atoms scarcely perceptible to worms two
inches long. The Palladium, describes
them as of a grceniah yellow color, resem
bling in shape a needle pointed at both
ends. The practice of allowing swine, to
feed upon the flesh, offal and cxcrctmcnt
of animals, is the source of tho disease.
The trichina egg ucver dcvclopcs to a
harmful stage while passing naturally
through the intestines. It must be eaten
and thus harbored and nourished a second

of confederate greed and filthinc&t in swine

"l'lnyed Out,
There seems to exist at conflict between
the United States authorities of tho In
dian Department find the American Board
of Commissioners for foreign Missions, in
reference to the possession aud title of tho
Lapwfii Indian Agency, on tho Ncz Pcr-
ccs reservation. 1 ho land in dispute is
at this time very valuable, and contains
many improvements, built under the di
rection of tho Indian Department.
The whole mutter will be litigated in
rne ensuing term of tho District Court of
tho first Judicial District of Idaho Terri
tory,, to bo held at Lcwistoti.
The American Board of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions is a religious institu
tion, incorporated under the laws of Mass
achusetts, in 1812, and claims to have set
tled this tract of land under authority aud
permission of the War Department and
tho chief of tho Ncz l'erces tribe, such
settlement and title having been confirmed
by a subsequent law of "Congress passed
iu 1853, notifying aud granting to these

MoiiKlfSKY AXI) BuTM.it. John Mor-
risscy was recently in the city, and they
tea a good anecdote of htm. In an inter
view with the President, Morrissey said,
"You, no doubt, Mr. President, have
heard that I was a gambler that is true,
I have gambled at curds and made money
by it, but I always played fair and never
cheated, and I have never been accused
of it. You also no doubt, have heard that
I was connected with the ring, and was a
lugiilst. That Is true also, aud I always
cat my opponent. Now, this is more
than Ben. Butler can say. Ifo played
and gambled after his fashion, at New Or
leans, but ho did not play fair and cheat-
cd everybody, and no one can ever say ho
whiDoed an onnoncnt. ho I am at lcat
ahead of him on two points." Pretty fair
that, tor Morrissey. It occasion poosent,
Morrissey will not hesitate tosay the same
thing to Butler on tho floor of the House.

Gen. Price and family arrived in the

of the proprietors of the Southern Hotel

talities of their house. The general is
suffering from a severe cold and was able,
in consequence, to receive but few of his
many Inepqs. 11 13 severe sickness while
in Mexico has greatly reduced him physi
cally. His old acquaintances miss the
elastic step and sprightliness which for
merly characterized him. Although time
has dealt unkindly with him, he has still
tho same distinguished bearing, "and for
his friends tr,e same hindly grasp and af
fectionate greeting. lie expresses him

our question as to the length of his stay,
ho replied, with evident feeling: "I have
como to remain forever." We trust that
he has many years of happiness and pros
perity before him in which to "remain.'
In tho memories of his companions in
arms and their posterity he will livo for
ever.

The Inventor of Friction Match
es. The inventor of friction matches was
Alzono Dwight Phillips.. Ho worked in
Hammer & Forbes powder mill, in East
Hartford, near Manchester, in 1831, by
mixing the ingredients of powder, ' con
ceived the idea of igniting a compound
by friction: and by experiments he sue
cecded in doing it. He was a shoemaker
by trad.e, and came to Hartford, where ho
worked at his trade, on fourth street,
and attempted to manufacture some of the
matches; out his means wore so limited
that ho could not produce many. He ap
plied to;Dr. Abial Cooley, j (tho father of
Uol. Samuel Uooley,; who was manutac
tufing tho host liquid blacking ever mado
and he assisted Phillips to get his match
es into the market. Soon after the match
es became popular Phillipi went D
partnership with Mr. ' Qapin, of Cabott-
ville, and th& firm turned out largo quan
tities of them. , Phillips procured a wag
on and, wpn round the country selling
matoe3 and town or ' county rights. , In
this way ho gathered up considerable sums
of money, but he expended the money as
fast as1 he got it, and died poor ,-f H art
