The Philadelphia American Banner has the fol-
lowing in regard TO the recent election in that
city:
Az AMERICAN PARrY AGAINST FoREIos Par
rr.--Ths was the issue last Tuesday. The elevs-
ton Of mere men to Office, however pleasing to
us, was an Insignificant triumph, compared with
the great victory achieved In driving the fag ends
Of all parties, all nations and all isns together
Had every man on our ticket been defeated, We
should stiIl feel proud of a power and strength
which forced all divisions of the enemy TO unit
against u.s. The Gibraltar Of Whiggery Is gone
the rampsrts Of Jocofocoism are prostrated and
still the sebsstopol Of Amcricanism is being
Strengthened In her fortfcations. To have blotted
out OF existence Whisgery and Locofocoism, elect
our city ticket, and retain majority IN both
branches Of the City Councils, is glory enough
for one day."

The Hon. J. s. Chrisman has come out with
letter to vndicstc himself, It having been stated,
that, In public speech, he cited the authority Of
his nigger-water at Washington boardng-b g-bouse
10 prove that the Hon. vespasian Eiis editor Of
the American Organ, had made speech to a Ma
sonic procession Of negroes. Mr.. Chrisman admits
having cited the nggcr testimony, but alleges that
he cited II not against Mr.. Ellis bat against the
Rev French Evans--not against distinguished
editor but against distinguished Methodist clergy

ventilation OF Railway Cars.

There is no longer any excuse for either dust
or smoke In railway cars. A very effectuai meth
cd has boon invented Cor giving them a most per-.
feet ventilation and at the same time preventing
the admission Of either the dust from the track or
the smoke from the engine. The former Of these,
and often the two combined, form great obec-
tion to railway travelling, and In hot weather make
IL sort of martyrdom. II is, besides, absolutely
unwholesomc TO persons of weak lungs who are
compelled 10 breathe an atmosphere filed with
particles Of flint.
On the Hudson River Railroad Is nm experimen.
tai furnished with this apparatus for ventilation
put in by the inventor at his own expense, with a
view Of accustoming passengers to the advantage
Of pure air, and In the hope Of at length creating
demand for II. The air enters In large funnel IL
front OF the car, whence II Is made to pass through
water into the interior through an artificial shower
Of water. The shower Is produced by q motion
communicated from the engine, breaking the wa
ter Into drops aud keeping L in constant agitation.
The air thus purified or, as we may call H. washed,
IL like breeze sweeping through dash OF rain,
and IL perfectly cleared Of all interim xture Of smoke
or even the finest dust The passenger, on enter
ing Is struck with the freshness Of the atmosphere
he breathes, and Its freedom from animal exhala-
tons, as well as from other pollutions. He finds
not even trace OF dust settled on the window-sis
or the mahogany seats.
The cost Of fitting up car with this apparatus,
We understand is about one hundred and nifty dol
lsrs--not more. AL that Is now required Is, that
the public should agtate the subject little, ard
the invention will be generally adopted railways.
II has three advantages health, comfort and clean
liness--and we should be glad to know what re-
cent invention can boast higher recommendations
than those. The decrease Of railway travelling
win, probably, make the managers Of the railways
slow to incur this additional expense; but have
doubt that the majority Of the public, IT. it were
necessary, would rather consent to moderate In
crease Of the rate Of fare than to forego the enjoy
ment Of pure air in their journeys--Ere. Posf.
