We had the pleasure of examining Yesterday
an invention of our ingenious friend, Mr.. A. Bar
BARN, native of his city, and whose discovery
threatens to make the business of lamplighters as
much thing of the past as that of stage coaches
The object Mr.. Barbarin has had in view is to
light every lamp in the city insantaneously, either
by the turning of the ordinary screw which lets
on the gas, or by means of certain clock work.
In the latter case the reader is to suppose that the
hour for lighting up is P. NJ and that clock is
already set in motion at the gas manufactory for
this purpose. In that case the clock goes about
its business in the ordinary manner until O'clock
every evening: at this time considerable num-
ber of wheels are set in motion-there is an
escape of certain electro magnetic fluid through
pipes connecting with all the lamps in the city,
and in moment the lamplighter's business is
done.
The only change that will be made in the pres
ent street lamps is, that plate composed of a
| material as hard as adamant will be placed near
the burner In case the gas is turned on with q
screw, the fluid of which we have spoken gets to
the burner first, strikes against the plate and the
fluid and plate coming suddenly together, cause
fame. The ordinary gas by this time getting
upon the ground, the lamps are lit for the night
| At the proper time the next morning the clock
work suddenly cuts down its gas BILL and the city
is left to get along with sunlight for the balance
of the day as it best can.
The terms we have used, perhaps differ little
from those of science, but we have aimed only to
give a general idea of what will undoubtedly
prove a, valuable invention. The machinery for
this, as exhibited in the model, works to charm,
and patent for the discovery has already been
taken out We understand that Mr.. Barbarin has
already obtained the contract for lighting the
Paris Exposition by this discovery.
| We were shown by this gentleman several other
models-one for new tie for baling cotton
another for hermetically corking bottles without
| the use of wire or sealing-waX. We rejoice tc
hear of any efforts that.may be made at scientific
discovery in our midst, and wish for Mr.. Barbarir
luckier return for his genius than that of mos
inventors.

Negro Outrages at Greeny,lle.

1t has been stated to us that on Sunday night
between ten and eleven o'clock, a citizen, whose
name our informant did not learn, was stopped at
the Greenyille Station on the CarroIlton railroad
by number Of negroes in federal uniform, and
stripped of everything in his possession or on his
person, except his undershirt Several outrages
are reported to have been previously committed
in the same vicinity by blacks in uniform, aud
yesterday cab driverfrom the city, having drove
up to Greenville, was there taken from his car
riage, by gang of them, who after searching
his person and robbing him of whatever money
he had, thrust a bayonet through his neck. The
wound could not have been serious, as we under
stood he purposed calling at General sheridans
headquarters TO submit a statement of the case

THIRD DIsTRICT.-The family of j. T. Moore
presents an undeniaufe instance of misceeenatfon,
In the house he occupied was negro living ous of
Wedlock with his sister; the brother of Wood oe-
cupied another room in the same house with the
sister OF the negro. One might think that this
queerly mixed up family had already enough of
@+'HNS4
sprung up between Wood and his colored brother
in-law in reference to q watch, and which the
colored brother swears Wood stole from him. A
witness was produced in court who proved that
Wood had sold the watch for one dollar, and he
was sent to the Workhouse for thirty days.
Capt. j. G. Norton came before Recorder Let
ten, and identified the coats, pants sou'w u'westers
and tarpaulDs which were recently stolen from
his ship, the Sandusky. The thieves, it will be re
membered, were pursued; the goods were recov-
cred by Lieut. Jacobs Of the Third District: but
by means Of some of the hiding-places with which
the levee abounds, the former made their escape.
Mary Powers and her mother, Mrs. Powers
were yesterday brought before Recorder Letten,
upon the compound charge, of getting drunk,
lying upon the banquette, and beating the father
and husband while all three under the infu
ence of liquor. The mother and daughter were
made to pay fine of SO each. As it is to be
presumed it comes out Of the fathers pocket, it
must be only moderate satisfaction to see the
punishment enforced, although it is the third or
fourth time that the family have been brought be-
fore the recorder.

MORAL IDEAs.-The denomination Of Gen. Banks
to Congress was objected to by some of the dele.
gates 10 Republican eauCus, Saturday, on the
ground that Banks had been in condition Of
shameless intoxication in Portland and that he
wouId.he very glad if the general would deny the
fact in his presence. Gen. Banks was therenpon
sent for by his friends, and appeared in the hail.
He answered in short address. in which he said
that the charge was untrue and the statement
made by whom it may be, was an atrocions-
wantOn and infamous falsehood. Mr. Copeland
answered that if Gen. Banks denied the statement
he uttered a deliberate falsehood. Nice allega-
ons and nice talk all that for the party of great
moral ideas."- Y Express.

Mexican Proteotorate, the Gession Of
Lower California, Contradioted.

IMPORTANT AND ADVANTAGEOUS NEW TREATY
WITH JAPAN.

WARRINGTON, Oct. 22.- The telegraphic dis
patches which were first sent to Northern papers,
and which have since been published all over the
country, concerning Mexico, prove to be un-
founded. No arrangement whatever has been
made, as Is stated in them, for the establishment
Of protectorate over that country by the United
States; nor has any provision been made for the
cession of Lower California to this country. OF
course, the report of the undertaking that the
United States should indemnify France, upon
these conditions, on the evacuation of Mexico by
Maxinilian and the French and Austrian troops,
falls with the rest. This correction is given upon
the very highest authority.
1t Itispositively ascertained from the best sources
that the negotiations now pending with respect
to the Alabama claims are being vigorously
prosecuted, and that there is every likelihood of
an early and satisfactory result being attained.
The draft of yet another commercial treaty with
Japan has just been received at the State depart

muIgated by the President in his proclamation of
Thursday last, making concessions of the most
thoroughly free trade character, and highly con-
ducive to the extension of our commerce with

only awaits ratification by our government to en-

The report of Gen. Sheridan upon the condition

the freedmen to the civil authorities in any Of the
Southern States, beyond that already provided fol

cotton crop, it need hardly be stated, is planted
in this parish. The rice and orange crops both
doing wei-the trees of the latter being described
as IN healthy condition, and the taste of the
fruit remarkably sweet for the season. There
are more of these golden fruit raised in this
parish than in all the rest of the State to-
eether-the only parish in fact where orange
raising is made business. The ordinary yield of
tree is about 1000 oranges, and some of the
planters have between three and four hundred
trees. AS one man can tend to two hundred trees
the business is one of the most profitable there
is-once the trees have come to maturity.
