EDWARD BATEs,-Signs of the
times seem TO indicate more and more
strongly that Edward Bates is grow.
ing popular with the Republicans as
an available candidate for the Chica-
go nomination. The liberal presses
of Missouri are loud in his praise and
enthusiastic in his favor, while the N.
Y. Tribune is preparing to give him
strong support. Seward is the
choice Of the Republicans beyond a
doaht, and but for an uncerta nty as
to his success if nominated. would be
the Chicago nominee. The polite
Republicans however, are bert OH
success in the coming canvass and
will endeavor TO forego preferences

ded. He would. we think. be a more

H Mr.. Douglas, in his speech o

R Mr. Douglas, in his speech on
the invasion of States. took the op.
portunity to inveigh against the Emf
grant Aid Societies of the North, as
conspiracies against the integrity of
the Union. But not one word had
he to offer in condemnation of the
acts Of South Carolina who sent n Mr.
Memminger to Virginia TO form an al
liance for the purpose of resistance to
the general government. While there
is nothing eondemnatory of society
having for its aim the assistance of
yourg men to homes of their own in
the unoecnp;ed West, in the Consti-
tuition or laws, the action of South
Carolina is i'll the teeth of the Com
siiiu;inn itself. States are expressly
prohibited from entering into any
treaty, alliance or confederation with
otter States, and for such an object
was the visit of Mr. Memminger TO
Firginia-to get UP a treasonabic
confederation. While Mr.. Douglas
is intent on the passage Of law TO
punish the invaders Of States, We
hope he will include all plotters Of
conspTacies.and agents employed to
get-up offensive alliances. Let him
so back of an Invasion and nip it in
bud before the overt act is done.

FIRSr PArER

We can trace back for centuries eleetririty ere
galvanism was discovered. The germ of this won
dsrfal science W, in1 first mentioned in a manu-
script in the Dodican Library, bearing dalo 1lG1,
and on the discovery of the effects Of the mag
netic fluid which was found to prevade all ma
ture, frat made useful by the invention of the
mariners compass, that blessing TO navigators.
Still its nature and further use remained secret
known to few, for in the year l450 Faust, the
first printer, gives account of q miracle and
states that he has seen sparks Of fire and a
stream of blue fire coming ont OF glass bottle,
although there was no warmth in the glass-the
bottle was cold. No positive mention is made.
but Sir Isaac Newton, that great philosopher
Who lived at tie same period, no doubt was
aware Of its power and nature. Another huud-
red years it remained unprogressive, until ali
leo, the inventor of the telescope, in about the
year 1906 or Il constructed rude machine which
from the wonders he exhibited with it and his
telescope cause him to be cast into dungeon
as a necrOmanccr, HAVING dealings against reli.
gion with the gentIeInan in black.
After passing innumsrGblc great snd learned
men we come down to that great learned, good
and just man, Benjamin Franklin, who di
much for tie science during his long life. In
his time electricity was introduced as cure in
cases Of paralysis and nervous affections in ger
cral; bar all ,hst was attempted wasa continued
succession Of shocks. The expense Of construc-
Ii N for n machine was trihine, soft induced nu-
nerous prctcnders, calling themselves Medical
Electricians, to tsmmence this new method Of
quackery. The medical faculty finding that if
those persons could DO no good they would do
less harm than by the administering of drugs,
and that it did not interfere with them.
Having now arrived at the latter end of the
Year 1900, about which time Galvanism was first
discovered, will, with your permission Mr.. Ed
itor, conclude this my first paper, and God will
ling commence next week with Galyanism and
its use in the cura tive art. L. L.
