If we may give full credit to the Ed
inburgh Scotsman, Mr.. r. w. Thompson,
of that city, has solved the riddle. how to
make steam locomotives available on COM
mon carriage roads. He has invented a
tire for the wheels, which, while pliable
and yielding, is yet so tough that not even
sharp stones, such as are used for macada-
rniziug road, will cut or tear it. The
steamer can run up hill and down; over
pavemcnts, or soft plowcd ground, and
even over grass land, leaving on the grass
and soft earth but a slight mark, though
the machine weighs about eight tons! Il
can be driven through crowded thorough
fares, and turned whithersoever the gov
ernor listeth, with as much case and GER
tainly as horse would be. 1t will 90 VI
steep grades with perfect ease, dragging I
dozen tons weight after it. And all Thu
hard service its tires have done withou

The tires are about twelve inches wild,
and five in ches thick, and offer to tn,
road tough, elastic cushion, not yer,
dissimilar to an elephants foot.

The Republican, of last week, has an
4 l-natured article, which exhibits neither
airness nor decent respect for truth.
9Ne refer to it's structures on what it al
5eges to have been the action of the officers
pf the G. G. Il i. railway company at the
late election. 1t charges, in substance,
hat they used undue influence over the
men in their employ to induce them to
vote the democratic ticket We do not
pretend to know everything said and done
by The officers named, but we do know
hat they extended the same facilities for
voting to republicans in their employ that
they did to democrats, and that none Of
those who voted the republican ticket have
been discharged for that cause, and anv
statement to the contrary is dirty aboli
I ton lie. Messrs. Scott and Herrick. tn,
former the general superinte ndent ant
the latter in charge of the construction O
the road from this point south, are gentle
men in the fullest sense of the term, anG
would not compromise the interests o
their company by using their official pow
ers to CRAFTY partisan prejudice. To b.
sure, they vote the democratic ticket, a
several hundred other very respectable
citizens did in Indiana, Ohio, and PenDsyl
vanis at the October election. They vii
doubtless be great falling off in the pat
ronage extended to the railway company
which these gentlemen represent, as the
maledictions Of the Republican are too
much for any railroad corporation il
these parts.

THE RESULT.

Probably before our paper reaches our
renders they will each individually have
learned the result Of the contestla Tues
Jay. 1t is briefly stated as follows
Grant and Colfax are elected to the pres
ideney and vice presidency by about two.
thirds Of the electoral votes of the coun
Try. The states probably casting their
votes for Seymour and Blair are New York
New Jersey, Kentucky, Delaware, Mary
and, North Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia
Alabama; Oregon and California doubt
ful, though probably radical by small me-
critics.
We do not feel like commenting on the
result until we can view the field a little
more clearly. We are defeated, and. as
has been the history of the world, capita
stands triumphant and all.powerful over
abor.
Such democrats as labored earnestly and
honestly to avert the defeat we have me,
with, should be content with clear con.
sciences. Such professed democrats as
indirectly gave aid and comfort to the en-
emy and helped secure victory which
annot fail to be barren one to them.
should also be content, leaving their co.,
sciences out of the question.

The editor of the Owykee Avalanch,
by way of describing his agreeable yoca-
ton, as conductor of frontier paper,
makes the following interesting reflections !:
ooh, the felicity Of editing paper
Charming, agreeable, in horn! Fascina-
ting, attractive occupation, but so difficult
to appreciate. How nicely and smoothly
one gets along without an "onpleasant-
ness" For instance, in a recent issue we
referred directly to ruffian known as
Captain Prescott. and incidentally to a
guerrilla named Al. Cage. We did this
in justice to ourselves and cummunity at
large. The other day, while quietly seated
in our sanctum, taxing our brain for more
copy, Gin response to the everlasting cry
of the devil" the two above-named villains,
one Of them armed with Ratchet, and
! tbs ether with bowie knife of large di.
mansions, made violent attack upon ouI
person. The only alternative was to figh'
or die. We accordingly seized large
knife. about two feet long, used fer cut
ting paper, and bled our assai!ants pretty
freely. They sued for mercy, we spared
their worthless lives and told them to dust
and they got up and busted. We wonlt
take this occasion to state that If eve
they or any one else attack US with the in
tention of doing us bodily harm, we will
shoot them dead in their tracks or Gu
! their threats from ear to ear"

boys certainly did well, considering the lit
