"On Friday evening the excitement was
at its highest pilch. The engines were
placed al separate cisterns, and were to
puma Into each other's cittern until il
could be demonstrated which could empty
iu own cistern in the shortest time, or till
np iu competitor's cistern, if It could be
done. At Uie given signal Ihe Silshy began

and had filled Ihe cistern of Ihe Clapp &

6lti. Packing arouud reds liable to get

Of the Miltbv engine, we think the rotary
motion the simplest; uho the quickest;
throws th steudiest stream ; is easier ou

Sensihlk. Iu a great many towns
like Portland and Salem, ladles are too
prone to risk their health for the sake of
looks, and rather than show an ugly
pair of shoes, w hen by accident (?)
their shoes may beacon, they will walk
the muddiest streets w ith thill soled
gaiters on, If they have to sneeze a
week thereafter for tho folly. Not so
with the ladies of Albany. They know
that health Is of the first luiportauce
and that a ruddy cheek is more to he
admired than a close fitting gaiter and
when they go out in sloppy weuther
tluy encase their feet in comfortable
overshoes. This ia sensible uud shows
that they are wise.

South Carolina is still enjoying the
luxury of lindicnl negro rule, ami its
fruits mubt h very bitter to tliu but
ter class of poniilo of the Palmetto
Stale. Aflor having boon morciloss-
ly robbod mid bankrupted by a not
ef thieving carjiot-boggors aud igiio
rntit negroes, hor cup of bitterness
Las just been filled agaiu to over
flowing by the election by tho Legis
lature to Circuit Judgeship of two of
the most consummate villains in tho
State Ex-Govornor Moses nud a
most corrupt and iuoapnblo negro
named Whipple. South Carolina is
being prepared by the Uadicals for
stepping down and out from bor
present position in the Radical ranks.
She has tested the merits of the dom
inant party to bor heart's content,
and Governor Chainborlaiu, who,
although not by any moans a perfect
man, is still an improvement ou his
predecessors since tho war, pronouccs
the election of those two scoundrels
a disastor equally great to the State
and the Radical party. AVlieu South
Carolina has thrown off her shackles,
she now undoubtedly will, re
marks the Philadelphia Chronicle,
the South will present an unbroken
front against Radicalism, unless
"bloody shirt" Morton cau maungo
to male it appear that Mississippi's
election was a fraud, aud that that
Stale must still be classed with Radi
cals.
IX CONTRAST.
The preseut attitude of the Repub
licans in Congress must be indeed
humiliating. In precipitating upon
the House the discussion of tho am
nesty bill the other day, their evident
design was to arouse a feeling of bit
terness in tho minds of the ci -Confederate
members and get them to
utter some hasty disloyal sentiments
which would creato the old war prej
udices iu the North and thus make
capital for the coming campaign.
But in what deep contrast wn the
cool, dispassionale, eloquent and pa
triotic (speeches of Hill mid other
Southern members with the wild
sweepiug, malignant speech of
Blaine, the Radical. Nothing could
havo been in greater fitness than the
bravo but conquered Southron's pa
triotic sentiments iu vindication of
his pf ople, and the whole country,
North and South, will applaud him
for it. Blame has committed m.-i-
kari, and may as well retire from the
Presidential arena.
Ll
A Pathetic Aweal. The Chicago
Tribune, a very decidedGrantoran,
says Gen. Grant will certainly retire
to private life after the present term;
but intimates that four years hence
he may bo induced to run again. Iu
fine General Grant is, through the
Tribune, uppcalod to most patheti
cally to let go for a little while !hat
if he will just give up his grip for
four years then he may take hold
again. That bait is entirely too thin;
the General won't bite. He knows
that if he is once shaken off he cnu
never fasten upou us gain. It is
now or never that ho must get bis
fniVuf term.
Nominatiko candidates for Presi
dent is a very easy and harmless
business. It is common, howover,
to nominate only living men for this
important and honorable position,
but the Davenport Gazette has coine
forth with a new departure and has
nominated Schuyler Colfax, dccc.ua
td, of Indiana, as the besf and most
available Hoosier for tho place.
Schuyler isn't dead in a physical
sense, but politically he is deader
than Jonah's whale. "Bring on
your lino corpses" as Mark Twain re
quested his guide iu the Holy Laud.
KixiAit A. Poe. Tho Utica Olitei ver
mentions as a fact which has cstmped
the notice of all his biographers,
that Edgar Allan Poe was the grand
son of Benedict Arnold. His moth
er, who was known before her linr
riage as Elizabeth Arnold, an Eng
lish actress, was tho natural daughter
of the traitor. This statement rests
on the concurrent testimony of e
number of old actors who know Eliz
abeth Arnold woll. Poe himsolf al
luded to tho matter occasionally in
the company of thoso who new this
chapter in bis family history.

Hill, of Goorgia, in answer to
Blaiuo's bitter and malignant on
slaught on tho Southern people in
the Houso of Itopresentativev last
Weduosday, closed his spooch iu the
following glowing sentences:
The South has never wrongod th
Union. Th South has beea an un
mixed blessing to every section, evory
State, every man of every color in
America. We chargo all our wrongs
to that higher law fanaticism, which
never kept pledge or law. We
sought to leave the association of
those who would not keep fidelity to
the covenant, and sought to go by
ourselves, but so far from having
lost fidelity L tho Constitution we
bulged it to our bosom, carried It
with us, and tho brave Union men
North, followers of Webster and
Fillmore, Cass and Douglas; you
who fought for the Union for the
sake of union; you who ceased to
fight when the battle ended and the
sword was sheathed, with you we
have no quarrel. We felt your heavy
arm in the midst of the struggle, but
above the roar of canon we heard
your voice of kindness calling,
"Brothers, come back." We are
here to co-operate with you, to do
whatever wo can in spite ot ait our
sorrows, to rebuild tne union, to
restore to peace, to be a blessing to
the country, to make American union
what our fathers intended it should
bo the glory of America and a
blessing to humanity. But you,
gentlemen, who persecuted us by
your fanaticism until you drove us
out of tho Union; you who then
claimed to be tho only frientts of the
Union, which you had before de
nounced as a league with death and
a covenant with hell; you who follow
up tho war when the soldiers who
fought it have made peace and gone
to their homes, to you we have no
concessions to make. Martyrs owe
no apology to tyrants, and while we
are ready to make every sacrifice for
the Union, we L.tve but one ambi
tion to add to our political power
and to the patriotic Union men of
order, iu order to compel fanaticism
to olwy laws and live in the Union
accordins to the Constitution. vVe
do not propose to hold you by oaths,
for you never keep them. We
wronged the Union grievously
when we left to be Decoders, but it
was rent and torn by men who had
denounced it as a leagne with death
aud a covenant with hell. We ask
you of the Republican party to rise
above all your animosities, to forget
your old sin, let us unite to repair
ihe wrongs that distract aud oppress
our country. Lot us turn our backs
ou tho past; let it be iu the future
that ho shall bo greatest, truest,
ablest and patriotic who shall do
most to repair past wrongs and pro
mote the glories of the future.

Mr. Seth 1!. Hammer, of Salem, a

city two of the committee on streets
and public property wero Republi
cans who thought more of party
than of the interests of the city and
they raised tho question of Mr. Ham
mers competency as an engineer and
refused to recommend work that was
really neoded. Mr. Hammer's qual
ifications were found to bo first class
when appointed, but ho wasn't tho
man that Thatcher tho chairman of
tho committee wanted. This year
Thatcher has got his man, (the same
one that has for tho past two sum
mers divided with him Government
contracts for surveying East of the
Mountains.) Now the question that
agitates tlio average Salem tai-payor
is how much will tho now City En
