Ey- In Lawrence, Mass, coal tar
and broken stone have been used for
some time for sidewalks and street
crossings, and answer the purpose
well. Loaded trucks and other heavy
vehicles pass over the crossings at
all seasons without indentiug them
in the least, and they grow harder
and better as they grow older. The
sidewalks are always hard, smooth
and clear, and instead of being slip
pery, like brick and stone, are safe
to walk on as a wooden floor. The
cost is said to be less than that OF
any other known material. They
neither crack, wear nor wash away.

A few months since, we made men

yielding capacity, by exploding torpe-
does at or near the bottom; and prom
ised at some future time, to report the
result A sufficient period of time hav-
ing elapsed for test, we deem it prop
er to say that the experiments seem to
have been successful, beyond the most
sanguine expectations of Mr.. Horton.
AT the present time the wells subjected
to the test, yield fully twice as much
water as they did before the expert
ment was made. A well that yielded
water sufficient for fifty barrels of salt
per day formerly, now yields sufficient
for one hundred barrels.
The most singular part of the trans
action however is that salt wells on the
Ohio side of the river, fully mile dis
tant, Immediately after the explosion Of
the torpedoes in Mr. Horton's wells,
commenced yielding an increased guam
tity of water, and when we heard from
them last, were still keeping up the
supply. The story, we know, has q
fishy appearance, but we have it on
such good authority that we can not
doubt its truth P0meroy Telegraph.

nE Johnson's purpose in bis

E Johnson's purpose in his
move to make Lieut.. Gen. Sherman
brevet General, and to call him to
Washington to command new de-
partment, is solely to snub Gen.
Grant. But the President has mis-
took his man. Gen. Sherman pos
itiyely refuses to have the brevet,
and will sooner resign than to live
within the corrupt air of the Presi-
dental mansion.
The whole thing, with others of a
similar character recently aimed at
Gen. Grant, are simply attempts to
injure, and, if possible, destroy his
reputation with the American people.
But they will all fail. The General
is known to be true and loyal, while
the President has shown himself to
be untrue and dishonest, and hence
nothing that the latter can say or do
will detrat one iota from the noble
character of the former.

@ The Democrats of the Ohio
Legislature are hard to please. Be
fore the election they were loud in
their denunciations of Congress, be-
cause it refused to admit the South
ern States to representation imme-
diately. In the Leg islature, on the
14th, resolution was offered favor
ing the immediate admission of Ala
bama to the Union, she having
adopted a Constitution republican in
form, and containing all the guaran-
tees required by the reconstruction
acts. The democrats voted solid
against this resolution. They are
determined these States shall not
come in, except by the return to of
fee and power of those who took
them out, and fought to destroy the
General Government. The country
should not forget the democratic
doctrine-the full and unconditional
return of rebels to power, or no rep
resentation by the Southern States.

Rw Our neighbor of the D'sr~teA
abuses the Supreme Court of the
United States, in unmeasured terms,
for its decision in the case of the
State of Georgia VS.. the military au
thorities. 1t will be remembered
that the Court dismissed the case
for want of jurisdiction, it being
wholly a political question, with
which the Court, in its judicial ca
pacity, had nothing to do. The
Dispatch SAYS
"The last bulwark of freedom, the
Supreme Court of the United States,
shows evident signs of weakness,
decentralization and fear The last
obstacle in the onward march of
usurpation and despotism, trembles
and totters to its fall, and the road
to q centralized despotism is now
nearly open and unebstructed."
And much more, in the usual
style of that sheet. The article
shows the editor to be, either wholly
ignorant Of the history of our coun
try, or else a knave of the deepest
dye This decision, which the afore-
said editor characterised as "Rarch
of usurpation and despotism," is in
perfect harmony with all the deci-
siens of that Court, touching similar
questions, from its creation down to
the present time. The harmony of
these decisions has never interrupted
except in one instance, and that was
in the Dred Scott case. In that case
politics controlled the minds of the
Judges, and they attempted to give
Judicial sanction 10 purely politi
cal question. But the country knew
and felt that it was wrong-an at
tempt to deprive the people of their
just rights-to think and act, in po-
litical matters, for themselves-an and
hence the decision had no weight.
The truth is, instead of the Su-
preme Court having departed from
the legitimate line of its duty and
decisions, the democratic party has
wandered from its old established
moorings. l. has wandered far from
the teachings of its fathers, when
its rallying cry was-''the govern
ment, right or wrong'-"the Union
must and shall be preserved''-and,
having now become the apologist of
treason, and the allay of traitors,
it seeks to bring everything else into
subordination to its own vile and in
famous course. Hence, everything
tina. .partakes of the earlier teachings,
is, from their present stand peint,
"the onward march of usurpation
and despotism.'

washington's Birthday

Saturday next, February 22d, is
the anniversary of the birthday Of
Washington, the founder of our
great Republic. This day has grad
uaily worked itself into favor with
Americans as national holiday, and
is being observed more and more
every year. We are glad to see THIS
as every public day, which is reeog-
milton of our love for Repubiican
government, in remembering the
glorious foundation of our country,
tends to strongly interest our people
in the preservation of that govern
ment. whose establishment cost so
much toll and suffering. The OBJ
servance of such days recalls to the
minds of all, the trials of the Revo-
lutionary heroes, and the importance
they attached to the establishment of
free government in this country
And in reverting to the past, we OF
the present, will feel more clearly
the responsibility on our shoulders,
as citizens of the only true Republic
in the world, to preserve and main
tain it in all its greatness, guiding it
in its work of progress, and using
our utmost endeavors to shield our
country from the influences, that
History has taught US, have under
mined and ruined the strongest ma
tions that have, existed. AS a Re-
publican government is one of the
most difficult to preserve, and can
only be sustained where education is
general, and the influences of true
civilization and the christian religion
are at work, the greater blessings
arising from it bear with them great
er responsibilities on the part of all
citizens. The people constitute the
government here, instead of being
the blind tools in the hands of sim
gle despot, and for that very reason
their accountability is so much the
greater. 1t is a return that all owe,
for their privileges, that they should
strive to understand the political sit
uation of the country at all times,
and shape their action in all polit-
ical matters, as their honest judg-
ment tells them will be best for the
ma tion in the long run. A man does
not deserve to enjoy the privileges
granted in this country, who takes no
interest in political questions, and is
content to let the few mould the
government for him, and decide up
on Its course, without himself trying
to understand to the best of his
ability what is best, and acting ac-
cordingly. For these reasons, we
advocate full observance of all ma
tional days, as calculated to keep up
the interest of the people in the
government; and we hope Washing
tons birth day will not be passed
without public recognition, this year
especially-a year in which one of
the most important political contests
In the history of the country, is to
take place.
