A new Motive PowsR.-The papars ev-
cry where ale copying the particulars of a
discovery said recently to have been made by
Prof. Vergnes in n. York, in the application
OF electro-magnetism as motive power. The
great hope cherished by the world is to see
electromagnetic made the chief agent Ct
motion, and the principal mechanical power.
1t is destined to be the next great triumph of
Science and when it comes, it will accom-
plish a mightier revolution in the affairs OF
the world, than has been wrought by the APP
plication Of steam. 1t is the great power that
moves the universe and holds it in a balance.
1t is The principle of light, life and motion.
1t will ere long be made the universal agent
and servant of man. But in the invention OF
Prof. vergnes there does not appear to be
any advance upon the discoveries of Mr.. Da-
venpoft, the Vermont Blacksmith, who in
1882 constructed battery upon the same plan
as that now described by the Professor with
which he worked large printing press in
New York city. Many Of the stockholders in
thai enterprise have vivid recollection OF
the Oll1llduS uOpco cASAsCu Os epP'iShe
success. By the same system Of stationary
and revolving magnets now described-and
by their mutual attraction and repulsion-a
force and velocity was attained in the lin
tied experimental tests, that seemed to be the
complete accomplishment Of their most ar
dent wishes. But when they attempted to in
crease the power, to apply it to some useful
purposes, counteracting force was devcl-
oped, which neutralized it, and destroyed the
hopes Of the inventor, who at last abandon
q his experiments in despair. All the cal
culations of economy and power now so con-
fdently made, were promulgated and believ'
cd By Davenport and his friends; but the!
proved falacious then, and We have no cont
dercs In the presen. pretended discoveries
which appear to be bat repetition Of old sx-
psrnenM.

SouArrxR SoyERE,sSrY--Tba- Doucla,

SouATrER SovEREIGNTY--The- Douglas
doctrine of squatter sovereignty involves its
author in so many self evident inconsisten-
cies that il is amusing to witness the tergiv-
ersations he practices to make plausible
showing even to his undoubting partizans.-
The following is q full report of the sentence
in which he expounded the principle in his
speech upon the affairs of Utah, at Spring
field last week:
While the power of Congress to repeal the
organic act and abolish the Territorial Gov
eminent cannot be denied, the qIrestionsmay
rise whether we possess the moral right Of
exercising the power, after the charter has
been once granted and the local government
Organized under its provisions. This is
grave question--one which should not be de-
cIded hastily. nor under the influence of pas
sion or prejudice. / am free to say that in
my opinion there is no moral right to repeal
the organic act of Territory, and abolish
the government organized underit, unless
the inhabitants of that Territory, rs a COM
munity, have done such acts as amount 20 q
forfeiture Of all rights under it--such as be-
coming alien enemies, outlaws, disavowing
their allegiance, or resisting the authority OF
the United States. These, and kindred acts,
which we have every reason to believe ara
daily perpetratsd in that Territory, would
not only give US the moral right, but make il
our imperative duty to abolish the Terrific
rial Government, and place the inhabitants
under the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of
the United States. to the end that Justice
may be done, and the dignity and authority
OF the Government vindicated.
The power of Congress to repeal a Terrific
rial act is undoubsed-but it is doubtful if it
can be done after it is granted. How can an
act be repealed before it is granted, or in 9TH
err words. before it is enacted? There Is no
moral right to repeal the organic act of q
Territory and abolish its Governmcnt-ex-
cep. the people have done something to for
felt it-and of that, the General Government
is the sole Judge; and when in its discretion
the people of Territory are unworthy o.
their privileges, it is the duty of the Gov
eminent to take them away. 1t is strange
kind of sovereignty that constitutes another
its judge, with power to dethrone it at the
judges own discretion. An absurd dogma
was never so completely refuted by its OWL
authors. They cannot with all their ingen-
uity and logic make even plausible appli-
cation of it to actual circumstances.

at least three hours a day for five lawful day:

by the employers. A certificate of ability tC
read, may be supplied by magistrate or jus.
tice of the peace In this country, such ar
act might be considered by Demagogues a.
an infringement of the inalenable right o.
every man to remain ignorant, and conse

A FAMILY PoIsoNED.-The family of Col.
Sanders in Boone County, Missouri, were
taken sddenly i'll while at the breakfast table,
one morning last week. The physicians
called, at once declared they had all been
poisoned. 1t was recollected that OH draw
ing water in the morning, White powder
was seen on'the surface, but in such slight
quantities as TO attract no attention. The
presumption is that it was arsenic, and that
it had been thrown into the welfby some
fend, to destroy the whole family. Col. San
ders died from the effects of the poison on
the next day the other members of the fam
lily, after enduring great suffering, were slow
ly recovering. Suspicion has failed to fix the
crime definitely upon any one. The motive
for the act is mystery.

~ A boy while fishing by the side

az A boy while fishing by the side Of a
stream in Frankling county, Pennsylvania
was attacked by large black water snake
four and half feet long that managed to en-
circle the boys waist. and coiled itself nearly
twice round the body with such force that
the little fellow was strangled and fell into
the water. He was rescued by another lad
who boldly severed the body of the snake in
two with a large knife. So tight was the
hold Of the snake it was difficult to get the
knife in between the snake and the boys
flesh.

This sum will insure the completion of the
road, and it is confdentially believed that
the proposition will be sustained by larga
majority of the voters. The bonds are to be
made payable in 80 years a. six per cent, and
1t is thought most of them can be negotiated
at home, without resort to foreign markets.
AL of the counties are relatively as rich as
Henderson, whose taxables-at the low val
uation that has prevailed for many years
amounted to over $1,000, 900. Her interest
on her portion of the bonds will be s., 900, or
only one mill per cent on her taxabIes. 1t
Is scarcely possible to suppose that any one
of her citizens would oppose to tax himself
ten cents on the hundred dollars, or one dol
lar on the thousand dollars ofhis property for
few years to insure the completion Of so
great work of internal improvement. The
whole amount asked to be subscribed is only
little over one and a hdlf per cent on the
taxable property of the county. The compile
ton of the road, would at q moderate esti-
mate enhance the value of real estate twenty
five per cent in the country, and supposeing
that species of property in the country to be
valued ats6 900, 900 the increased value would
be 81 500 900, orr just ten times as much as is
required from the citizens of that county to
complete the road even if they should finally
have to pay the bonds. 1t is not probable
the people of that enlightened portion Of
Kentucky can be so blind to their own pecu-
mary interest, as to hesitate to give their
bonds. A better course, and one that the
country is so able to adopt, would be at once
their property and raise $780, 900 at once and
pay it over to the road and take stock OF
bonds, and hold them till the road can re-
deem them herself. What is said of Hender-
son is applicable to the other three counties
