the Southern people not 10 accept the consti-
iutional amendment Wade Hampton, Cover
nor Orr and Perry OF South Carolina, Wire Of
Virginia, Worth Of North Carolina, Alexander

Of Mississippi, Throckmortoa Of Texas and
Patton Of Alabama, besides many less distin-

the back ground Of politics BY The provisions Of

they should wish 10 see IL adopted, even
though IL should reconstruct the South, restore
the Union and benefit the Southern masses. They
have no higher purpose than tho reconstruction
Of their party, not that Of the country. They
seek not their country's good, but their own
advancement, and care not to see the South
restored 10 its privileges unless they can be
restored 10 their old positions Of power and
patronage. They have not the advancement,

A SUBSTITUTE FOR PADDLE WHEELs-The
system OF pTopellng vessels by meGns of the
reaction OF water Is being extensively experj
mented upon in various parts OF the world and
Is but the revival of plan proposed many
years ago. by this progress the water Is
sucked IN by means of force pumps and il
then forced out in number of small streams
al the sides and stern of the vessel These
streams, striking the water on which the vessel
floats, cause sort of reaction, which propeIs
the vessel. Boats propelled in this manner are
IN use in several parts Of Europe. one in par.
ueuiar oeing employed as ferry boat on the
Clyde. in Scotland. The system. however.
although long known, has never been very
generally adopted The advocates of it claim
that by IL vessels can attain q much higher
power with less consumption of coal than is
possible with paddles or screws: that the steer.
ing Is easier and more certain: and that the
shaking Of the vessel caused by the move.
ments OF the large engine, always necessary
for paddle-wheel or screw steamer is
avoided. In the new system the forca pumps
Tor moving the water get their power from
several small steam engines.
