STEAM CANALBoATs.-An new plan OF
overcoming the difficulties that have hith-
erto prevented the ad option of steam as q
gropelling power on canals which is likely
TO reyolutionize the present system of in
land navigation Was tried successfully by
q party Of gentlemen connected with trans
portation companies. The invention con-
siss Of an ordinary screw fixed in pro-
tecting frame, but attached, not to the
shaft, but to knucsle Of iron between the
end Of the shaft and the screw blades. BY
this arrangement the screw is msde to serve
de- rudder, and responds readily to the
movement Of the wheel. The boat made
several complete turns in her own length
during the trip, and caused no greater dis
turbance in the water aft than would an
ordinary sailing vessel, and far less than a
canal-boat fitted with large, unwieldy rud-
ders. AS q test Of the value Of the inven-
ton for steering purposes, the experiment
WAS perfectly successful, and proved thst
the chief objection to the Introduction OF
steam on our canals-Jhe washing and
wearing of the banks-could no longer ap-
ply. The Philadelphia Transportation and
Freight Company is building number of
canal-boats to be fitted with this invention,
and run by steam between the coal regions
and Washington, and Washington and New
York. The boats will be 100 feet long by
Il feet wide, and will carry ITO tons Of
irelght.-Ne,C York Herald.

| pia, in common with the people of the other
States composing the de facto Government
of the Confederacy, acquiesced in the con-
sequences OF the struggle. While be-
lieyipg it the right of the State to return
to the Union on terms of equality with
other members Of the Union, with the pri-
vileges of all citizens Of the Union, and with
the privileges of oil her citizens unimpaired,
the people acquiesced in the plan of recon-
struction which WAS thought necessary and
was prescribed by the President, although
the pains and penalties imposed on her best
citizens we're regarded as unjust and OPP
pressive. Passively yielding to the autho-
rrity of the United States, the people of
Georgia proceeded to organize State
Government in harmony with and obedi-
ence to the terms prescribed in the Preai-
dents plan of reconstruction, complying
with every condition--the ratification Of
the emancipation Of slaves, reputation of
the legal liabilities of the State, and the
recognition of the validity Of the public
debt of the United States.
Reconstruction is an accomplished fact.
Our representatives elected under and by
virtue Of that plan have been admitted into
the Congress Of the United States. We de-
precate the highly indammatory and vic
iently abusive character of certain politi-
cal publications and public speeches which
unduly infame and excite the passions and
preiudices of both races, and the criminally-
false assertions in public prints and public
addresses made for the express purpose of
arousing the hostility of the negro race
against the white race. We deprecate the
advice and suggestions given by men who,
in MANY instances, are not identified with
the interests of the State, which have in
duced the negroes to arm themselves for
their defence in the exercise Of rights and
privileges which it is falsely asserted the
majority of the race desire to wrest from
the negro race.
We deprecate the fact that men among US
persistently pervert and exaggerate facts,
and have drawn upon their Imagination for
material for publication to give to the world
tissues of falsehood tending to produce
abroad the false impression that there is
little protection for persons and property
and little security for life and liberty in
this State.
We assert the purpose of the white peo-
pie of this State faithfully to protect the
negro race in the enjoyment of oil the
rights, privileges, and immunities guaran-
teed them by the Constitution and laws of
the United States. We assert that there is
no purpose on the part of the State to i'm
pair the constitutional right Of the people
peaceably to assemble for the consideration
of any matter, or to obstruct any portion OF
the people in the enjoyment of any other
constitutional right or privilege.

ROBBERY AND Observation-Disclosures We
ter Gap, Pa, September 25.-The Brainard
House at this place was robbed this morn
ing, and Thomas Broadhead, the proprie-
tor, with his brother, started in pursuit of
the robbers. Thomas Broadhe cad took hold
of one of them, and ordered him to 60
back. He appeared willing to 60, when
the other stopped about ten feet away and
drew a revolver. He first said, "Shoot
them down." and he Immediately fired two
shots, woundips Thomas Broadhead in the
face and LEFT side, when Theodore Broad
mead came up and grappled with them, and
received q shot through the body, killing him
instantly. Before leaving, the murderers
pounded Thomas Broadhead in the head
with stones.
The murderers were captured at o'clock
this afternoon about mile west Of this
place. They were recognized as the guilty
parties. The excitement among the inhab-
tants was very great, and the sheriff had
all he cosld do to prevent them being
lynched on the spot. AT 2 o'clock ne
started with the prisoners to lodge them in
Strandsburg Jail, accompanied by a large
party Of armed men. Thomas Broadhead
will probably recover.
