NEW INVENTIONS.

Jackson's sel-acting Car Brake has recently been
tested with such success on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, that the Ellicotts Mills train has been Or
dered to be fitted and worked by it, and there is
every probability that before the 10th of April
it will again be the road the cars now only await
ing the finishing of their seats
This invention is truly a novelty, and we under
stand that it has the approval of many of our scen
tiiic men and civil engineers. The experiments
made with it recently, establish the fact that it will
stop train of cars in any allowable distance beyond
where the train would stop with locked wheels
and when is considered that its action is nstanta
neous depending only on the Engineer shuttine or
opening his throttle valve it is possible that even
substitute brakesmen may not be needed. From a
conversation with Mr.. Jackson, we learn that b;S
starting point was the endeavor to solve the oues-
ton suggested by himself, ''why NAV not the nor
NAL condition of brake be down, and the brake he
lifted by the tractive force of the engine?" This
question is now solved by the invention referred TO-
As regards "power," the inventor is not permit
ted by the railroad officers to use over half of what
he Is able to apply, and we need only say that with
single truck fitted with his brake with three cars
in the train, and speed of over twenty-five miles
per hour, this one brake stopped the train in less
than nine hundred feet-according to Mr. J.'s plan,
three cars should have fce brakes.
As means of protecting life and property. this
invention is worthy of attention. and railroad Off
GERS will have the opportunity in few DAYS of see
ing 1t at work on the train to Ellicotts Mills.

too late for the protection of the City, the Commits
sloner was dismissed; and the majority of the
Council became instantly as vrtuously indignant
as II they had never known for months previous of
the fragrant breach of trust upon the part of that
official. Nevertheless, the influential builders were
tenderly cared for, and provision has been made
for their remuneration on account of the work al
ready done, and done in collision with an agent
known to be acting in violation of his integrity
and duty, but under no contract written or I'M
written, binding upon this corporation.
Such is a brief outline of the ndsputable facts
connected with this transaction. Thus did the
City Commissioner and the builders determine
to erect Jail for the city plan it had refused
to adopt, and at q cost three times as great as it
had ever designed to pay. For nearly one year
was that Commissioner allowed to remain IN office
while laborious efforts were being made to induce
the Council to sanction the iniquity The plot has
not been wholly successful in the hands of its org-
nal contrivers. Yet the city has, with bountiful
munfcence, awarded to the builders the sum of
Sl02, 900, for work it never ordered or desired
and which they did in open disregard of the plain
est principles of morals and of law 1t has further
to complete the building at enormous cost, be-
cause 1t has been allowed to progress so far as to
render any other course mpracticable Those who
value the prosperity of the city, the fidelity of its
officers, and the integrity of its citizens, would do
well to ponder upon a remedy fit to be applied to
such case in the future and TO decide upon the
measure of the retribution which should attend it

the Dubuque and Sioux city Railroad is completed,
and whether it intersects with the branch in con-

MIR. VIM. Smith, of Virginia, made a speech in
favor of the admission of Kansas under the Lecomp

During his remarks he took the ground that the
President is the head of the Democratic party, and
the representative of the Kansas bill in all its
forms, and that those who refuse to support that
measure read themselves out of the Democratic or
ganizaton.
In the course of his remarks he said, in the au-
thority of the successor of General Richardson,
that the Democrats of the Illinois delegation, after
consultation, to the conclusion that the only
way to secure the reelection of Senator Douglas
was to oppose this measure.

Internationally so-have undoubtedly been ap-
pointed policemen, and are still retained in place

the mayor has placed at his disposal; and for this
and for very commendable degree of zeal and
activity in the discharge of his own duties

1t is due to Mayor Swami to state, that the pres
ent Police corps has been organized with my con-
currence, both the Mayor and myself endeavoring
to secure the best material which can be found in
the city.
The Mayor holds me responsible for the conduct of
the men, and has required at my hands the promnt
removal of all who are found to be inefficient or
unworthy.
The appointments have been made upon the re-
Communications of some of our best citizens. and
when proved to be unfit for the service have been
superseded by Others
In the organization of force of so large body of
men, you would find Messrs Editors, that the sub

do the Mayor the justice to say, that never in a
single instance has he refused to sustain me in the
