BLANCHARD'S
Improvement on Steam Boilers

ON some boilers 700 dogs. of heat is thrown away,
" making loss OF 1-3 the fuel The question is
often asked how can this be saved. Mr.. Blanchard
has invented boiler that takes perfect control of all
the heat and makes it do duty in the engine. This is
very simple in its construction after the engine is in
motion the smoke pipe is closed tight, and the waste
y temperatnre desired: the remainder e earried
through the water heater. using up all the waste
heat but 200 degs.; the heat being reduced so low
there can be no danger of setting fires by sparks
thrown from engines, which will add much value to
this invention, besides the saving 1-3 the fuel.

A Settled Financial POLICY.

The special dispatches to the Gin
cinnati Gazette give what purport to
be the recommendations of Commits
sioner Wells, in his report, not yet
made public, on the Tariff, the Inter
nal Revenue, and the Currency. 1t is
stated that his report is adverse to the
House Tariff Bill, opposed to pro-
tective duties, and in favor of re-
turn to specie payment. The dis
patches state that there will be much
opposition to the main features of the
Report, and that the prevailing opin-
ion of Congress is especially adverse
to his currency views.
Without entering into any consid-
Grafton Of the Report, in advance Of
It's publication, we think that our
readers will agree with us in one
view of these vexed questions,
however much they may differ
in others-that it has become
of the utmost importance that
as speedily as possible some
feed and unalterable policy be
agreed upon between Congress and
the Treasury Department We have
been long enough subjected to fnan-
cial' fluctuations, changes of policy,
and counter legislation. The uncer-
tainty which has been hanging over
the trade, commerce, and industry of
the country should cease. We want
a fixed financial policy, and some
definite settlement of the Tariff and
Internal Taxes. 1t is important to
have these questions settled rightly,
but it is of more Importance to have
them settled, definitely and immedi-
ately Beyond the two great condi-
tions precedent, upon which Secreta-
ry MCCULLoCH has so explicitly stated
the method of contraction, that there
should be neither violent contraction
nor expansion, the simple knowledge
Of what is to be done, would, in a
great measure, quiet and regulate
business affairs. The manner of do
ing it is not so important.

The Madison Courier and Other Mat
fnrS


The Madison Courier says the ques-
ton of the election of United States
Senator, and the constitutional discus
sion on the subject is closed, as far as
that paper is concerned; and the edi-.
tor sends it to the jury of the $50 cleo
tors-the General Assembly. Refer
ring to our publication Of its CORES
pondent's sentiment, that nine tenths
of the Union voters of Jefferson
County (Madison) were opposed to the
course of that journal on the Senate
rial question, the editor with an expe-
rience of nineteen years hard labor
and some blood, gives us some of the
facts garnered up in that period, viz. !:
An independent, fearless newspa-
per is able to take care of itself on all oc-
casions. We never count the cost when
we believe we are right, and had nine
tenthS of the Republicans in this county
been opposed to our course in regard to
the election of United States Senator,
the discussion in the Courier would have
run its course.
The Courier closes its article as
follows:
In the Egypt of Indiana, where the
Democratic maiorities are the largest, the
JoURNAL's Endorsement OF such a state
ment of correspondent would have been
safer. We tender our Evansvil friend
the congratulations of the Joyous sea-
Baker Governor-by an election by the
people.
We are glad to know that We will
have so valuable coadjutor as our
Madison contemporary, in the good
work of electing CONRAD BAKER the
Governor of Indiana in 1868; but we
differ from our friend, in being willing
to promote him to the position in
January 1867, to finish up the work.
which Gov. MORTON has so success
fully carried forward during the past
six years.
We beg the Courier not to cast over
us the shade of Egyptian darkness.
By right gallant work on the part of
the Republicans of the Pocket" that
cloud was dispelled by the last Octo-
Der election. We have the authority
of the Democratic organ of Evansville
for the assertion, that this city is one
of the ''most Radically Republican in
the State" The Courier may not
be aware of the fact that the
eight counties of this District, lynn
together in the southwest corner
of the State, cast a vote of over
10000, greater by about3,000 than the
| Third District, and that there is a clear
| majority for the Republican party.

The Carriers Address,

We remind our readers that the
Carriers of the DAILY JOURNAL will
wait upon them Tomorrow morning
with their New Years Address, and
we bespeak for them, in every instance,
kindly welcome. During the past
twelve months they have faithfully
served our patrons with the JOURNAL,
regardless of storm, and rain, and
cold, and they have richly earned a
liberal New Years fee for the Song of
the Old and the New Year. We
take pleasure in testifying to their de-
serving merits. They assure US that
the Address which has been written
for them is highly entertaining, and
that it will be relished by all for its
poetic worth and its reference to the
local incidents of the past year.

These eight counties send to the
General Assembly seven Republican
and five Democratic members. We
rely upon the aid of our Madison
contemporary and the members from
Jefferson, in obtaining such an equit-

for us true and loyal Representative
in the Congress of the United States.

General GRESHAM.

An Indiana correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, writing of the
candidates for the various offices
elected by the Legislature, says:
There are a great many candidates
for the desirable office of State Agent,
at present so ably filed by Mr.. Bus
kirk. The choice will fall however,
either on Gen. Gresham or on Gen.
r. FL. Milroy Both of these gentle
men have the full sympathies of the
loyal population of the State, and peo-
pie regret only that there are not two
Offices equally lucrative, so that both
of them might be provided for. Gen.
Gresham has won universal admira-
ton by the splendid manner in which
he conducted the canvass against
Mike Kerr in the Second Congress
si0nal District land although he was not
elected, it is believed that he received
a majority of the legal votes His
record during the war was highly hon
orable, and people think the more
highly of him, as it is understood
that, notwithstanding his modest pc
cuniary circumstances, he declined a
commission in the regular army that
was offered to him provided he would
support that detested my policy. "
