HOW III 1S 10 BE mANAGEDs
The Richmond correspondent of the

of the difficulties which the August
Convention will meet with it, and sug-

be in an Endorsement of the 9OG1' policy
and eMtogy. Of the $e,.Oices Of the army
and macy Of the United States, 1Utich
mI1tSt be offered IN Difference to Northern
sentiment. Upon these questions the
Southern delegations aD0ltLd be compelled
to VOte no, and to this extent the har-
mony of the Convention would be ieop-
ardiZed. 1 have good reason to believe
that effective means will be resorted to
in order to obviate this difficulty. The
Southern delegations 9OiLL GVOid being
present 1Vhe1l the VOteS are taken upoal
these questions. They are perfectly
willing that the Northern delegates
shall do everything that in their opin-
ion will best promote the success of the
Conservative party, provided only that
they are not required TO compromise
themselves to the extent that an affirma-
tive vote on the Endorsement of tie
war policy of the Government would
do. 1t is understood that the Southern
delegations will meet in conference and
appoint spokesman, who will inform
the Convention of the difficulty in
which the Southern delegates would be
placed by being called upon to vote
upon questions of the character refer
red to, and of their purpose to absent
themselves pending the vote upon them.
But the Convention will be assured that
i'll any measures or policy they may
adopt, the South will be heart and soul
with them. The war issue is defunct
any way, and it's Endorsement is but a
mere formula, to which Southern dis
sent would be a matter of course. The
South 9ciU sanction almost any ertrente
measures aUltioh Northern delegates mag
deem accessory to adopt in order to de-
feat radicalism. 1t is probable that the
tive part in he proceedinps cA Of the &c Con- H
vention, but leave all in the hands of
the Northern men,"

From the Louisville Journal
Mr.. H. +. Brown, one of the injured
passengers of the ill-starred General
.Lytle, makes the following statement
in regard to the frightful explosion on
Monday evening last. We quote the
exact language of Mr.. Brown: "Was
on the engine deck about ten minutes
before the explosion went down there
from curiosity saw no one attending
the engines until the bell rang to check
the boat. Saw the striker run from
some part of the boat, and checked her
partially; about half n moment after
wards fireman came aft from the lar
board side, and said, in an excited
manner, this boat will blow up in five
minutes! J! The next thing I knew 1
was going up in the air, amid smoke,
steam, timbers and other parts of the
wreck. The striker beat me going IN.
but came in first! While going up I
had perfect control of my senses, and
thought to myself, sixty feet in the
air and no place to light, but soon
on plank in the water, .bruis-
ing, me quite badly. Saw lady
In the water, and gave her all the assis-
tance in my power. Her husband soon
came to her. called to the officers OF
The st. Charles to come alongside, that
the DoaI was on ire. They promptly
put on their hose and eXtinguished the
fire. The officers and crew of the st.
Charles did all in their power to aid our
party. just before the explosion 1
heard some one on the deck say she's
running pretty well; she's got one hun
dred and eighty pounds on Am posi-
tive the boats were racing at the time OF
the explosion. After I got on board the
st. Charles inquired of one of the en-
gineers who assisted me, will this boat
blow up2 How many pounds of steam
are you carrying?' He replied, there
is no danger; we are tending to our
business;' they were not. My compan-
ions, Hall and Thomas, were lying in
their state rooms, Nos. 54 and 55, the
latter partly undressed. Did not see
them until we got on board the st.
Charles. My father, who was on board,
came off all safe. Was formerly an en-
gineer by profession, and thinks the ex-
plosion the result of culpable negli-
gence on the part of those in charge OF
the engines"

Can MenEIY?

At the last meeting of the Hronauti-
cal Society of Great Britain, the Duke
of Argyle expressed the opinion that
''if ever we obtain the power Of travel
ing through the air, it will not be by
| the flight of individual men, but bV the
production of machines capable of con-
tanning number of men, moved and
sustained as the birds move and sus-
tain themselves" In this opinion he
is supported by several European and
American balIoonists. Mr.. Wenham,
an English terOnaut, contends that an
adopted by different birds must form
the basis of sound Bronautic science;
and variety of recent experiments In
dicate that gas is not to be the lifting
power of 'the balloon of the future."'
The boldest theory yet put forth is
that of NJ. Nadar, the French oeronant,
whose curious little book called "The
Right to Fly" we have already no.
ticed. Nadar insists that "when he
shall have determined upon doing so,
man will fly like the bird" and that
the more powerful the apparatus en-
ployed for the mechanical flight the
| lighter relatively will it become; In other
words, the principle of aerial navigation
so that the machine employed for the
purpose shall be heavier than the air.
He cites, as an illustration of this the
| ory, the bold flight of the eagle which
scars 10 great nights "by reason of the
great width of its wings, which are in
proportion to the weight of its body"
| and contrasts it with the timid flight of
sparrow or pigeon thrown from a
balloon at an elevation of some hun
dreds of yards, "Throw the bird out"
he says, "and you will see it either falls
like lead, or turn oven and over, till, in
its descent, it reaches the denser por-
ton of the atmosphere, where its small
size permits it to sustain itself and to
re-employ its ordinary movement"
All the flyers, properly so called, he
adds, are the largest, the thickest, and
consequently the heaviest.
Nadar has been severely snubbed by
the French Academy for what is re-
garded as his impracticable theorizing;
but he returns the hard knocks he has
received with interest, and evidently
full of confidence in his powers. "Who
would be bold enough to swear" he
asks, sin this age of scientific miracles,
that mans weight ('the eternal obsta-
Gle to the flight of man. by order of the
Academy will not be the very weight
| turned to account by man himself in
the air?" Who indeed? The idea of
crossing the Atlantic by steam was rid
iculed, the telegraph filled men with
amazement, and the laying of cable
under the ocean was pronounced an
impossibility-but' all these have been
done. The new cable may work, and
NJ. Nadar may fly, and the result would
be as remarkable as other scientific So
lultons ordifhcult problems.
