One at our leading engineers, say the
Safety Valve, has brought before the engineer
ciiiNi ui iaia an experiment oi so startling a
nature in its inception as to piouuse wonder
ful reKiilts. It is a monster msgnst made of
two Rodman fciins, which are conuected at
the lireech. Around the niHgiet thus formed
is wound about twenty miles of submarine
cuiile. liie cable Is some (but has been
used in flie torpedo service. It ie wound
and fastened in a substantial mauuer, milk
ing a Permanent magnet. When electricity
is applied some strange results tuke place.
For instance, a bar of railroad iron thirty
fret long, if placed iu tb open cannon's
niouin, cannot be drawn out by as many men
as can grasp it.
Another instance of the strength of this
big magnet was illustrated recently with a
3o0 pound cannon ball. The shot was placed
in th mouth of the cannon on the negative
side. On reversing the electrical current it
fell from its position, but was attracted to
the opposite cannon aud clung to its s:de.
The positive current was then reversed alter
nately witn the negative, and the heavy can
non bull played between th two cannon like
a tack between the poles of a tov magnet

uiuuion oi mis remaraauiy attractive mag'

-lis Tiews on the Tariff and tha Dan
ger of Overtaxation. .
Extract from Jac&wn'ii Fartuxtt Addrtss,
There is, perhaps, no one of the powers
conferred ou the Federal Government so lia
ble to abuse as the taxing power. The most
productive aud convenient sources of reve
nue were necessarily given to it, that
it might be able to peiform the importuut
luties imposed upon it; aud the taxes which
it lays upon commerce Wing concealed from
the real payer in the price of the article,
they do uot so readily attract the utteution
ot the people as smaller sums demanded
from them directly by the tax-gatherer.
, But th tax imposed on good enhances by .
so much the price of th commodity to th
consumer; and, ns many times, these duties
are imposed on articles of necessities which
are daily used by the great body of the peo-
Jde, the money raised by these imposts is
Irawu from their pockets. Congress ha no
right under the constitution to take money
from the peoplo, unless it is required to ex
scute some one of the specific powers intrus
ted to the Government; and if they raise
more than i necessary for such purpose, it
is an abuse of the power of taxutiou, and un
just aud oppressive. It may indeed happen
that the revenue will sometime exceed the
amouut anticipated whon the taxes were
laid. When, however, this is ascertained, it
is easy to reduce them; aud, in such case, it
is unquestionably the duty of the Govern
ment to reduce them; for no circumstances
can justify it in assuming a power uot given
to it by the Constitution, nor iu taking away
the money of the people when it is not
needed for the legitimate wants of th Gov
ernment. Plain as these principles appear to be,
von will yet flud that there is a constant ef
fort to induce the General Government to
go beyond the limits of its taxing power, aud
to impose unnecessary burden npou the peo
ple. Many powerful interests are continu
ally at work to procure heavy duties ou com
merce, and to swell the revenue beyond the
real necessities of the publio service; and
th country has already felt the effect of
their combined influence. They succeeded
in obtaining a tariff of duties bearing most
oppressively on the agricultural and laboring
classes of society, aud producing a revenue
that could not be usefully employed within
the range of th powers couterred upon
Congress; and, in order to fasten upon the
people this unjust and unequul sy.tein of,
luxation, extravagant schemes of internal'
improvement were got np, in various quar
ters, to squander the money aud to purchase
support. Thus, oue unconstitutional meas
ure was intended to be upheld by another,
aud the abuse of the power of tuxutiou was
to be maintained by usurping the power of
expending the money in internal improve
ments. You cannot have foi gutlen the se
vere and doubtful struggle through which
we passed when the Executive department
of the Government, by its veto, endeavored
to arrest th prodigal scheme of injustice,
aud to bring buck the legislation of Con
gress to the boundaries prescribed by the
Constitution. Tho good sense aud
practical judgment of the people, when th
subject was brought before thorn, sustuiued
the course of the Executive, aud this plan of
unconstitutional expenditure for the pur.
poses of corrupt influence is, I trust, finally
overthrown. .
The result of this decision has been felt in
the rapid extinguishment of the publio
debt, and the large accumulation of a sur
plus in the Treasury, far below the amount
origiuully contemplated by its advocates.
But, rely upon it, the desigu to collect an
extravagant revenue, and to. burden you
with taxes beyond the economical wants of
the Government, is not yet abandoned.
The various interests which have combiued
together to impose a heavy tariff, and to pro
duce an overflowing Treasury, are too strong
and have too much at Btuke to surrender the
oontest. The corporations and wealthy in
dividuals who are tnguged in lurg manu
facturing establishments desire a high turiff
to increase their gains. Designing politi
cian will support it to conciliate their favor
and to obtain the means of profuse expen
diture for the purpose of purchasing influ
ence in other quarters; and since the people
buve decided that the Federul Government
cannot be permitted to employ its income in
internal improvements, efforts will be made
to seduoe and mislead the citizens of the
several Btute by holding out to them the
deceitful prospect of benefits to be derived
from a surplus revenue collected by the Gen
eral .Government, and annually divided
anion'g the States. And if, encouraged by
these fallacious hopes, the States should
disregard the principles of economy which
ought to characterize every republican gov
ernment, aud should indulge in lavish ex
penditures exceeding their resource, they
will, before bug, find themselves oppressed
with debts which they are unable to pay,
and the temptation will become irresistible
to support a high tariff in order td obtain a
surplus distribution. Do not allow your
selves, my fellow citizens, to be misled on
this, subject. The Federal Government can
not collect a surplus for such purposes with
out violating the principles of the Constitu
tion and assuming powers which have not
ben granted. It is, moreover, a system of
injustice, and if persisted in will inevitably
lead to corruption, and must end in ruin.
The surplus revenue will be drawn from the
pockets of the people from the farmer, the
mechanic and the laboring clusses of society;
but who will reave it wheu distributed
among the Stutes. where it is to be disposed
of by leading politicians who have friends to
faver and political partisans to gratify? At
will certainly not be returned to those who
paid it and who have most need ef it and are
honestly entitled to it. There is but one safe
rule, and that is to confine the General
Government rigidly within the sphere of its
appropriate dutiei. It has no power to
raise a revenue or impose taxes except for
the purpose enumerated in the Constitu
tion; end if its income is found to exceed
these want it should be forthwith reduced,
and the burden of th people so far lighten
