Death of wm. q. B"IIelle.

IL is with feelings of profound grief
that We announce this morning the
death of Mr. WILLIAM G. BATTELLE, of
this city. He has been stricken down
in the prime Of young manhood aud
upOn the threshold of usefulness and
honor. Few of our citizens of
his age were more generally
known than he, and none were
mole generally beloved. Possessed
of an ardent and generous nature, be
was energetic for the public good, and
his hear and hand were always prompt
in deeds of private benevoleuce. He
brought o the discharge of the various
duties Of life well-stored mind
and an intellecE of unusual activity,
and his mental requirements fitted him
10 adorn in an eminent degree whatever
station he might have been called apon
to till. Thus qualified for usefulness
and giving such bright promise of no.
Lle future, we feel that his untimely
death has inflicted upon all who knew
him loss which will be severely felt
and difficult to repair.
The deceased was a son of Rev. c. d.
BArrELLE, OF the Methodist Church, to
whom and to the widowed and father
less by this sad dispeusatiOu, we tender
our heartfelt sympathy.

Insurance Decision.

A decision was recently rendered by
the Supreme Court of Illinois, which is
of vital importance to insurers and in
surcd, touching, as it does, the right
and power of insurance companies to
vitiate policies. The case was that of
the keeper of meat shop, who kept a
keg of saltpetre on his premises, not
withstanding the terms written in his
policy of insurance declared that the
keeping of saltpetre should vitiate it.
1t also appeared that, on one occasion,
he sold a quantity of saltpetre to Gus
toner. The proof showed that it was
customary for dealers in meat to use
saltpetre in small quantities in their
business. The Court held that such
customary use of the article Implied a
knowledge of the fact on the part ofthe
underwater; and that the mere fact of
use, or keeping for use, in reasonable
quantity, would not vitiate the policy.
But keg of saltpetre was, under the
proofs, more than a reasonable quanti-
ty, and the fact of selling to customer
made the butcher a dealer in the article
to such an extent as clearly TO render
the policy void under its terms.

Sky Miles nm Hour-A New One
Wheeled Eelocipede.
from the New York Sun, 18th

One of the most interesting fruits of
the attention now paid to the veloci-
pede is a new invention just made by
two ingenious mechanics of this city,
of which we yesterday examined a
model. 1t is a menocycle, or single
machine, consisting of wheel eight
feet in diameter, with tire some six
inches in width, or two narrow tires on
its outer edges, with two sets of spokes
connectingfwith double centre, which
fills the place of hub, the two sides Of
which are some two feet and half
apart. The operator is in the middle,
and propels the wheel by simple yet
curious apparatus in which both his
weight and his muscles are brought into
play. Any more precise description
would manifestly be cut of place until
the patent has been issued. The in
ventors anticipate that their machine
will exceed in swIftness every other
device of the kind. They do not think
that sixty miles an hour on smooth
road viii be impossible.

Assnssin by Air Guns.

The Chicago Republican says: The
numerous instances of finding men
prone upon the most public streets of
the Eastern cities, injured as by bull
let, although neither the victim nor
any other person had heard the dis
charge of any frearm, so far as could be
ascertained, has caused the suggestion
to be made that air guns have been
brought into requisition. According to
the authorities, this is a weapon "resem-
bling amusket, for the purpose of dis
charging missiles by means ofcompress-
ed air. 1t consists of lock, stock, bar
rel and ramrod. The stock is made
hollow, and provided with proper cocks
for filling it with compressed air by
means of force pump. Each lock is
nothing but valve which let's into the
barrel portion of the air compressed
in the stock, when the trigger is pulled.
The gun is load with wadding and ball
in the ordinary way, and the air sud-
denly introduced from the stock pro-
pels it with a velocity proportional to
the square root of the degree of the COM
preston of the air." By this weapon a
person may be killed at q distance ofsix-
" or eighty yards. Later improvements
give it propelling force almost equal
to the old-fashioned musket. Its chief
advantage to criminals is its noiseless
discharge. The victim may be singled
out IN crowd by aperson standing con-
cealed at an upper window, and, if the
ann Is accurate, perforated by bullet,
without any chance of detection, ex-
sepuns those indicated by angles and
direction. Indeed, the body might fall
In such a manner as to indicate cendi-
uons entirely different from those
which are real. Whether or not this
theory is correct, it is evident that the
ingenuity otcrime keeps pace with the
ingenuity Of the most approved detec.
tive methods.

The Copper.stock swindIe.

o, it is an honest party; a disinterest-
ed, patriotic, virtuous party-this Rad
ical party which Fenton and Schenck
and Nye and Forney and the rest of
them are "running" in this merry, merry
land! And it has just completed such
a nice piece of Congressional legislation
the passage of the copper.stock bill,
to wit, clear over the Presidents veto
as entities it to encomiums on the score
of public morality more transCendent
than it ever displayed before. This
little copper.stoCk bill was, to be sure,
objected to for reasons of pith aud mo-
ment 10 many intelligent minds out
side the circle which it would be truly
shocking to call the ring"
/. 1t was shown that the duties it
imposed on imported copper and copper
ores would virtually prohibit the i'm
portation of those articles, and thus
strip the treasury of whatever revenue
it derives from them.
.. 1t was shown that the shipping in
terests of the country would be serious
ly affected by this virtual prohibition of
the foreign copper trade.
3. 1t was demonstrated that such pro-
hibition would tend to destroy the
business of smelling copper ores in
connection with a smaller amount Of
the imported Grticle-a business which
has hitherto yielded the largest share of
the copper production of the country.
4. 1t was made perfectly plain that
the effect of the bill would be to en-
hance by nearly 20 per cent. the cost of
blue vitriol, thus discriminating against
the great manufacturing industries in
which that article is extensively em-
ployed.
5. 1t was shown that the bill, which
is intended to give monopoly of the
copper mining business to the owners
OF watered stock in the Lake Superior
mines, would impose tax of five or
six millions upon the people of the
United States, every dollar of which is
to be paid to the spectators in those
watered stocks.
And will it ever be shown, besides,
that he party whose willing men in the
Senate and in the House voted this bill
into law over President Johnson's
head is not the most unsel6sh, incor-
ruptible, patriotic party that ever lorded
it jauntily over the merry aud indiffer-
ent people Of any land i-WorId.

In 1887, John C. Calhoun thus ad-
dressed the Senate of the United States ::
"Be assured that emancipation itself
would not satisfy these fanatics; that
gained, the next step would be to raise
the negroes TO social and political
equality with the whites; and, that be-
ing effected, we would soon find the
present condition of the two races re-
versed. 1 speak with full knowl-
edge and a thorough examination
of the subject, and, for one, see
my way clearly. One thing alarms
me-the eager pursuit of gain which
overspreads the land. and which alb
serbs every faculty of the mind and ev-
ery feeling of the heart. or all passions

Georgia md Louisiana TO be Dis
constructed -

A Washington special to Radical
sheet says that in the organization of
the next Congress, the Clerk of the
House, whose duty it is to call the list
of the members elect, will not only
omit the names of the members elect
from Georgia, in the roll call on the or
ganizatiOu of the new House, but also
omit the names OF the Louisiana men,
bers.
These States were admitted to their
rights under the Constitution, to have a
representation in Congress, by order of
the Radical Congress, under the impress
sion that the votes of the negro popula-
ton would form and fashion the politics
of the States, so as to suit the views of
the Radical leaders. In Georgia, by an
oversight in the trainers Of the Consti-
tuition, which, under the orders Of the
Freedmea's Bureau, was gotten up to
make Georgia negro governed State,
the black population, although voters
were not eligible to office. The colored
Senators elected to the State Legisla-
ture, were ousted because the State Con-
stituton said that white men alone
should hold office-Radieals joining
with Democrats to purge the legislative
halls of the presence of the Intelligent
contrabauds." For this crime, Georgia
is to be dis constructed-set back to the
condition OF the conquered provinces" !"
and made to assume the condition that
Radicaiism sees to impose on all who
oppose its patficidal views, the white
citizens having no rights that Bingham,
Schenck, Ben. Butler and other Radi-
cGi leaders are bound TO respect.
In like manner Louisiana forfeited
her rights-not by the rebellion against
the General Government, for that was
forgiven, but by the rebellion of her
citizens against the Radical party. as
shown at the late Presidential election,
when the State voted Tor Seymour and
Blair, and sent to Washington MAORI
ty of Democrats as members of Con-
gress-OhiO Statesman.

All Sorts of PeopIe

The following extracts are taken from
the author of Friends in Council"
MANAGING PEoPLE.-The managing
people are of three kinds. They are
either imperious persons, or very good
natured persons, or very conceited per-
sons. And sometimes the three mo.
tives which cause a man or woman to be
troublesomely managing are combined
in one and the same person.
Now, the objection which most peo-
pie have to being managed is, that
they have an uncOnquerable wish to
manage for themselves.
But there is another and very potent
cause why people often reject the most
excellent proposals for being managed.
1t is, that the managing parson does not
know some secret, but very strong mo-
tive of the person to be managed; and
therefore all the managers wise sHgges-
tions are beside the mark. ..|
OBsERvERs.-Then there is class of
people whom / venture to call the OBJ
servantines. They must make remarks
about everything; and there are great
many things in this line which had bet
ter pass without any remark.
OBJECToRs-Then there are the OBJ
jective people. Let any one say any
thing, however wise or foolish, impor-
tant or unimportant, they must instant
ly take an objection. They really do
not mean to abide by their objection;
but they must take it. Nothing should
be done without being we'll argued
over, and it is their business to see that
objections are made to whatever is pro-
posed.
DIsCURsIvEs.-Then there is the dis
cursive talker. You are discussing the
effect of the large importstions of gold
from Australia. He unfortunately en-
tiers into the discussion, and in a short
time you find that the original subject
has vanished, and that You are discuss
ing the mode Of rearing pineapPles at
Chatsworth. This kind of man seems
to be sent into the world to destroy ev-
arvthinu like uood conyarsation

Mulliua.

Will the Honorable Mullins, of Ten
nessee, have tie goodness to let the
Angel Gabriel alonef In general
way, we have no particular objection to
Mullins. He is to the average stupidity
and monotonousness of the average
Radical member of Congress in this
country what the late Colonel Sibthorp
30 long was to the average stupidity
and monotonousness of the average
Tory member of Parliament in Great
Britain. Mullins cheers us, and, as we
are glad to believe, without inebriating
himself. Mullins sober is more mud
died and more amusing than nine in ten
of his colleagues would be drunk. Null
Inns on mules, for example, yes
terday entertained the Honse and
the country very agreeably; and the
gifts of Mullins, in the character of
Mark Antony pronouncing funeral ora
tions, have heretofore received in these
columns DO stinted praise or inadequate
exposition. 1t would really crafty us
to have Mullins both praise and bury
the vast majority of his fellow men,
bers. But we decidedly object to the
interference of Mullins with the Angel
Gabriel. In one of his "obsequious" or
ations, the other day delivered, Mullins
alluded to the trumpet of Gabriel as a
catastrophe" and now in q financial
speech he turns the Archangelin into an ar
tilleryman, and declares certain things
will not be achieved until Gabriel
snaps his resurrection gunw We pray
Mullins to understand, once for all, that
the Angel Gabriel is no Radical. His
trumpet" is trumpet not of self
praise, but of judgment; ard, instead
Ofcannenading the universe, the Angels
chief connection with our poor human
history has been to announce the com.
ing upon earth of the Prince of Peace.
We do not require of Mr.. Mullins either
a discourse of reason or actions of wis
dom. But we protest, in the name of
piety and decOrnm, against his irrever-
ent and ignorant misrepresentation of
anything more sacred than the "trooly
loil" sentiment of Eastern Tennessee
