Secretary Seward has declared Off.

sti.ut;on on the subject Of slavery has
been adopted BY the requisite number
Of States and is now q part of the con-
stitution of The United States.
Mr.. Clarke. our representative in

House With reference to the Pacific rail-
road. We have not seen the bill and
do not know what i:s provisions are.
Two negroes we're recently arrested
and tried for murder in 81. Joseph. Mo.
One Of them confessed to the killing ol
q Mr.. Labr for his money-his compan'
ion did most Of the bloody work, and
told him he had killed another man BY
the nsme Of Kuhn before. The citizens
we're about to lynch the murderers. but
the constanstable drew his revolver. and
resolutely conveyed them back to Jail.
An English paper reports as rumor'
that Maximilian is about to return to Eu'
rope-that he vas expected there BY
new-years.
It is said our minister to Mexico il
accredited to the Juarez government,
wherever found. and that this action ol
our government gives offense to the
French legation at Washington.
The election of Chaffee and Evans as
u. 8. Senators from Colorado, is clai
med as q vindication Of Chiyington'f
Sand Creek massacre.
The southern people have been great
ly alarmed abou. negro instructions fo1
several weeks past. There appear tc
be no grounds for fear, and it is proba
bly, the result of guilty conscience re-
calling harsh and cruel acts to the ne
groes while in slavery.
The Presidents message on southern
affairs is not much of a document, aftel
all. 1t has no special marks Of ability
and is only distinguished for great faisf
in recent rebels on the smallest founda
,ion. He may be right in this belief
but the logic Of facts look the other way
very decidedly.

General Grants Report.

We have read this document-we
mean the one in REFER nee TO the South
-snd End il . tame affair." He left
Washington for the trip on the 9Th Of
November. and Was gone some ten days
or two weeks. In that time he made
bis tour Of observation and read the
secrets Of the great southern heartl II
the thing had not assumed something
Of . serious sh;pe. we should be tempt
ed 70 laugh at the folly Of the thingl-
Manifestly it is absurd to think the Gem
eral could learn mack in 90 short time.
and certainly nothing that ought - be
considered Of sufficient weight to base
Legislation or the policy Of an admins
tration upon: and We trust our solons
at Washington will act with more cir
cumspection and wisdom than to take
their cue from such data 10 form laws
and reconstruct the broken parts Of the
machinery Of the government.
Grant is great in his proper sphere.
out Of it he is ordinary.
Possibly the whole secret Of this
movement amounts to about this: The
President finding strong current run
ming against his reconstruction policy,
probably wished to have some 'aid and
comivrt.' and knowing Grants popular.
i:y. procured him 10 go south. observe
what be could. and report as favorably
as circumstances would permit. The
general is conservative and rather leans
to the South-always has-sees things
in favorable light. and 50 reports
That is all there is of it.
This, We think. is not exactly the
way for Mr.. johnson to make treason
odious.' or to hang traitors especially
as these same good faith Unionists o'
the south. take especial pains to elect
rebels to Office whenever they have op.
porsunity. and thus show their love to'
the Union by honoring with power it
most bitter and prominent enemies!

The New Motive Power.

invented a new method Of generating
and applying steam. which differs essen
TALLY from the old style. The leading
idea of the new invention is the gener'
alton of steam in vessel outside Of the
boiler or receiver-the 6rss of these
vessels he calls generator" and the
other . receiver that the water
and steam are never together. A gal.
Ion of water in the generator will make
more power than barrels in boiler
The steam 10 conducted from the gen
orator TO the receiver. and thence 10 the

The engine pumps the water. forces
the steam into the receiver and takes il
therefrom al at the same time; and Mr..
Danford defes any engineer. to burst
the boiler or receiver. The greater the
heat, the more rapid the machinery ID
worked: but the pressure upon the
square inch is not increased Is in the
old or present style Of generating steam
