THE DoUGHLAs BRICK MACHINE.

THE DOUGLAS BRICK MACHINE
The Chicago papers speak in high praise OF
a new machine for making Brick, known as
the DouGLAs Brick Machine, which, II not
greatly overrated, is the kind of machinery
needed in Mineral Point. We have plenty
of good clay hereabouts, and with this ma
chine Brick may be manufactured at prices
far below that Of Brick produced in any
other way We copy the following notice
of the DoUGLAs machine from the Chicago
Republican
"Chicago grew tired Of the old, slow, ard
costly way Of producing bricks, and invented
= machine which easily turns out 500 bricks
per hour all ready 10 be carried to the kiln,
at a cost not exceeding 81 per thousand In
a day Of ten working hours it turns out 75,-
0oA-of the best brick ever made This ma
chine is the Douglas Brick Machine, and
NAV be seen on Illinois street. one door
East of Franklin. The clay used in making
bricks is brought fresh from the bank, with
all its natural moisture, to this machine,
and at once put in the hopper. 1t passes
through the machine and comes out NJ the
front, perfect bricks; at the very moment
of their delivery they are 50 dense and hard
as to be capable Of sustaining weight OF
about three tons. They need no drying or
hardening in the sun, but can at once be
carried to the kiln and piled IN as many
courses as wished. There is no chance of
their being broken any, or cracked, while
being carried to the kiln. And when there
they require less fuel for their burning than
any others. They come from the kiln per-
fectly square, with smooth surfaces, and free
from the least crack or mutulation. They
are made and completed with a mathemasi-
cal exactness which is wonderful to see
The great fault Of other machine-made bricks
has been that their edges were not firm and
sharp. There is no such fault in the bricks
made by the Douglas machine. The firm
ness and density Of these bricks give them
a great capacity for withstanding the action
Of the frost and Of bad weather"

The Tariff Bill.

As was expected the Tariff Bill
was virtually killed so far as the &C
ton of the seth Congress was con-
cerned. Its resuscitation by the new
Congress is more than probable. We
know but little of its provisions in
the form in which it was laid upon
the shelf by the old Congress, for
there have been so large a number Of
amendments proposed and adopted
that we presume the man who got up
the original bill would hardly recog-
nize il in its present garb, or own it
as his legitimate offspring. The wide
difference of sentiment among the
members Of Congress-each fayoring
sucn provisions as viii in his mind
prove most beneficial to his section
Of the nion-renders it quite doubt
full whether a tariff bill can be got
through Congress and secure the sane
ton Of the President, that will ma
terially benefit the people at large
The West, the East, the North and
the South, each has Is peculiar inter
ests and views IN the tariff question,
and SO varied are they that what
would suit one portion Of the country
would be Objectionable to other locali-
ties. We believe Il the duty of Con
gress to harmonic, as much as posi-
bic the interests Of all. Home man
ufactures should be protected, but not
to such an extent as to create monop-
olies that viii prove burdensome to
the people.
Like most other questions that
come before Congress, that Of a tariff
IS at once attempted to be made po-
litical issue. 1t needs but TO be named
in the halls Of our national legislature
to call forth the yelpingo of every seven
by nine democrat organ IN the land
who are ready to bark at shadow at
their masters bidding. and not one in
ten of them can tell the first princi-
pie or the substance of a single sec
ton of the bill they oppose. It is
g Tariff and that IS sufficient to con
denim its entire provisions, be they
good or bad

GEORGETOWN ELEcr10S.-The re-
suit of the Georgetown election at,
fords but little consolation to the
Democracy. The Mayor and seven
Of the eleven Councilmen elected arc
Republicans. Over nine hundred ne
gro ballots were cast, and to their
credit 1t IS reported that but two Of

rebel Democracy. This shows that
the negro knows who his friends are

THE REBEL STATES NOT OUT OF THE UNION
1t is clear, to my apprehension, that the States
lately in rebellion are still members of the Ma
tonal Union. When did they cease to be so |?
The ordinances of secession adopted by portion
of these citizons were mere utilities. If we
admit now that they were valid and etfectual for
the purpose intended by their authors, we sweep
from under our feet the whole ground upon
which we justified the war. Were these States
afterward expelled from the Union by the war?
The direct contrary was averred by this Govern
ment to be its purpose, and was so understood by
all those who gave their blood and treasure to
aid in its prosecution. 1t cannot be that u sue
cessful war, waged for the preservation of the
Union had the legal effect of dssolving it. The
victory of the Nations arms was not the dis.
grace Of her policy. The defeat OF secession ON
the battlefield was not the triumph of its law
less principle; nor could Congress, with or with
out the consent Of the Executive, do anything
which would have tho effect, directly or Indirect
ly, of separating the States from each other
To dissolve the Union is to repeal the Consttu-
ton which holds it together, and that is . power
which does not belong TO any Department VI this
Government, or to all Of them united. This is
40 plain that it has been acknowledged by all
branches Of the Federal Government
The Executive Department, my predecessor
- we'll ~ myself, and the heads OF all the de-
pertments, have uniformly acted upon the prin.
oiple that the Union IL not only undissolved, but
indissoluble. Congress submitted ON amond.
ment Of the Constitution to be ratified BY the
Southern States, and accepted their acts Of rati.

While other girls were honely.

The folks say to each other;
But if you truly love me still
Why, go and ask my mother.

That all the joy in courting;
When young men have secured wife,
They say their vows are sporting.

If you won t choose another;
You've bothered me SO much to-day,
Do, 60 and ask my mother.
