THE PROGRESS OF THE REPUBMc.--Mr. VIM
Darby has published a statement in the National
Intelligencer which is calculated to startls the
unreflecting in relation to the population of this
country in the course of century from the
present time. Mr.. d. is moreover high authori-
ty upon the subject According to his calcua-
tions, should the population of the United States
continue to increase in the future, in the
same ratio during the past the aggregate in
1850 will be 405, $4,000 souls He says that
that part of The Continent of North Ameri-
ca already in the possession of the United Sta es,
fall little if any short of 100000 of square
miles, and therefore, when the population reaches
100,O00,0O0, the mean density will be only 33 to
the square mile. The existing population,
amounting to 24,000,000 at most, does not reach
to more than 8 to the square mile.

This is decidedly cool and philosophical. But
we infer from the following card which appear

The revelations from Rhode Island would seem
to indicate that that State is the most venal of
any in the Union. The late election is alleged
to have been carried by the most shameless
bribery. The Providence Journal, after stating
that one man spent $4,000 for election purposes
goes on as folows:-
In another town, where the contest is always
close, man who is an applicant for an nppoint-
ment under the Government bought a vote for
1926, and as neither he nor the venal wretch who
took his money would trust the other-they were
pretty well acquainted took hold of the
five dollar bills by one end, and so marched
to the ballot-box. aud when the voter dropped in
the envelopes, the purchaser let go his hold of
the money. This was shameless case, a nd was
done in open town meeting in the presence of
the voters on both sides.

The Electric TeleGFaph-Sonn,is vs. signs.

The Electric TeleRTaph-sonnds vs. Signs.
The great feature Of Prof Morse's inven
ton and that which distinguished it from the electro
magnetic teegraphs in England and other parts OF Eu-
rope called the Needle Telegraph was this-the
ghetto bar or needle had been used merely
TO point to letters make signs for Geographic pur
poses IL occurred to Prof More that the motion thus
Oh tanned might be used to make dots and straight lines
OF unequal lengths, on paper, moved by clockwork,
and that these might stand representatives Of
the letters Of the alphabet.
The Company owning the Telegraph line running from
Buffalo TO Milwaukee, called "the Erie and Michigan
Telegraph Company working under Morses patent,
have for time past discontinued the practice Of
recording the signs produced by the process above
mentioned and hsve instead thereof received their mes
saces by sound This they have done for the last two
year, without interruption, having found that they could
receive three by sound In the same time which
would be occupied Ia receiving two under the other sys
tem and moreover, that ia receiving by sound they
made fewer mistakes than they were liable 10 IN the use
OF the dots and dsehes and also dispensed with hall the
number Of operators.
The mode OF receiving messages by sound ia very
simple add one operator Is sufficient instead OF two
who are required when the signs recorded. The
operator sits by hs table in any part of the where
tie message received and writes down the sounds
are produced. The different sounds are made by the
striking Of the pen lever upon piece OF brass thus
three rbps In rapid succession are made Tor The letter A.
