A steam Man,

The following story Of a remarkable me
Ohanical invention is told by the Newark
New Jersey Advertiser;
Mr.. Paddock Deddrick, a Newark ma.
ehinist, has invented a man; one that
moved By steam. will perform some of the
most important functions of humanity; that
will, standing upright, walk or run, as he Il
bid, in any direction and at almost any
rate of speed, drawing after him a load
whose weight would tax the strength OF
three stoat draught horses. The history of

sgo Mr.. Deddrick, the inventor, who il
at present but twenty-five years old, con
eeiVed the novel idea of constructing man
that should receive its vitality from per
petual motion machine. The idea was
based on the well-known mechanical prin-
oiple that if a heavy weight be placed at
the top Of an upright slightly inclined from
vertical, gravitation will tend to produce
horizontal as well as vertical motion.
The project was net successful. However,
by observing carefully the cause of the
failure, preserving and perfecting the man.
form, aad by substituting steam in place of
the perpetual motion machine, the present
suceess was attained.
The man stands seven feet and nine
inches high, the other dimensions Of the
body being correctly proporlioned, making

are taken very naturally and quite

H. Peralts, ESQ, Auditor of Public Accounts, New

SRI am directed by the major general
commanding to acknowledge receipt of your
letter Of the 18th instant, in which you state
that the taxes imposed by the constitu-
tional convention can not be collected
through the ordinary process of collecting
taxes in this state,n and "refer the whole
matter to him for his action" and in reply
to state that the tax collectors Of the par
ishes Of Orleans and Jefferson, in their re-
port to you of the same date, say that " the
taxpayers have generally refused to pay the
tax" By reference to the ordinance of the
convention you viii find "that the auditor
ofpublic accounts of the state shall, as un.
der existing laws in relation to the collec-
tion of taxes, superintend and control the
collection of said tax of one mill per cent,
and shall give immediate notice and instruc-
tions to the different sherifs and tax col
lectors.n
1t does not appear from yeur statement
that any process for the collection of this
tax has issued OF that any other steps have
been taken, except giving notice in the
newspapers, and demand to pay which
has been refused. No resort has been made
to those coeroiye means to enforce the pay
ment Of taxes, pointed out by the laws Of
the state this it is your duty to direct the
tax collector to do; when that is done, and
fOrcible resistance should be made the
major general commanding will, upon it
being reported to him, take prompt
measures 10 vindicate the supremacy Of the
law. am, sir, very respectfully,

The Proposed Ordinance for the stay of

HEADQUARTERS FIFTH MILITARY DISTRICT,
Ofhoe of the Secretary Of Civil Affars I
New Orleans. Is, January l5 1853
Honorable D. H. Cooley, New Orleans, La;
SIR-The major general commanding die
rects me to acknowledge the receipt of your
communication of the 18Th instant, in which
you ask whether he "Will enforce an ordi-
nance which the constitutional convention
may adopt, providing for a stay of execution
on ali judgments rendered in this state, by
state courts, until the lst Of January, 1870;
excepting judgments for taxes aud for
wages of laborers,n etc, and in reply to call
your attention to the 4th and sth sections of
the act of congress, passed on the 23d Of
March, 1867, defining powers Of the conven-
ton.
By the first OF these sections, it is enacted
that when organized it shall proceed to
frame u constitution and civil government
according to the provisions of this act, and
to the act to which it is supplementary.
And the sth section provides, that the con
vention for each state shall prescribe the
fees, salary, and compensation to be paid to
all delegates and other officers and agents
herein authorized, or necessary to carry
into effect the purposes Of this act, not
herein otherwise provided for and shall
provide for the levy and collection of such
taxes on the property in such state as may
be necessary to pay the same"
From these provisions, it is clear that the
convention j. clothed with the extraordi-
nary power of framing constitution and
civil government, ETC., and that it possesses
no authority to deal with subjects of ordi-
nary legislation, except to levy and provide
for the collection of taxes TO pay its mem
bers, officers, etc.; and as the ordinance to
which you refer in your letter is entirely
foreign to the framing of a constitution and
civil government, it appears to the major
general commanding that such an ordi.
nance, if passed by the convention, would
be without any validity.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
W. G. MITCHELL,

CONSISTENCY.

A rumor has been set aaoat in Wash
ington that the President has indirectly
bribed a number of Republican Senators
10 vote for acquittal, and forthwith a
howl is set up about bribery and corrup~
ton, and that an investigation into these
grave charges viii undoubtedly take
place These men seem 10 forget, what
the Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette stated on the 9Th
inst, that there Is no doubt whatever of
the fact that Senator Wilson has made a
direct proposition to several Of Mr..
Wade's friends, and in pas TO Mr.. Wade
in person, that If the latter would resign
has position as presiding officer of the
Senate, vote for conviction, and allow
Speaker Colfax to succeed Mr.. johnson,
il he should be convicted, then he (Wils
SOM would publish aletter, Withdrawing
from the field as a candidate FOR the Wee
Presidency at Chicago in favor OF Wade,
and that he and COllax, and their re-
spentive friends wOnld use their influence
to secure the nomination of Wade.
Here was a bold attempt at bribery and
corruption, yet there have been no fran
tis appeals to have Senator Wilson and
Speaker Colfax brought to the bar o.
justice and the matter investigated
There seems to be no lack Of proof tina
Wilson and Colfax were using all theil
powers of persuasion upon Mr., Wade t.
drive bargain with him which it wal
hoped would secure the conviction of the
President, yet none Of those who were
ehagrined at Grimes, Henderson, Trum'
bull and Fessenden, acting as honest
men should act, have demanded that the
Congress be purged Of such men as VII.
son and Colfax. Such is one of the beau,
