a NEW SENSATEOS.

THE last sensation made by the enter
prising Mr.. James Fisk, JT., COmptTOI-
Ter of the Erie Railway, is the undertake
ing of plan by which it is proposed to
make the line of the Erie Railway, from
the foot of Chambers street and Twen-
ty.thiTd street to Buffalo and Dunkirk,
an unbTOken belt of light all through
the dark night both summer and winter
The Bergen tunnel is to be so brilliantly
Illuminated day and night that upon a
lowering day the eyes of the passengers
will be almost blinded as the train
emeTges from the mouth of the tunnel,
owing to the difference between the
light Of the tunnel and the dull rays Of
the sun. The means to be adopted to
carry out this great plan, and thus pre-
cluding the possibility Of any further ac-
cidents on the road on account Of dark
ness, is in the application of the electric
light to every locomotive on the line,
and stationary lights at the ferries, in
the tunnel, and at dangerous curves
along the route. The attention of the
Erie Company was first called to COnSid-
er this scheme by Mr.. E. c. Morse, and
hT, FiSEC at once authorized him to 20
TO work and see what could he DONE
Mr.. Morse thCTCupOn commenced To
make arrangements for the manulac-
tUre of large number Of electric lamps
at Jersey City, and he is quite confident
that within three months he will have
Erie all ablaze.
Mr. Morse claims to have made sew
eral valuable discoveries and improve
ments in connection with the electric
light. One invention claimed by him is
the sClf-sustaining battery, and another
is devicCfOr making the carbon points,
used to give the electric light, burn for
months without wasting away. This
electric light, it is said by those who
have experimental with it, will cast u
shadow behind an opaque body at n dis
tance of ten miles. But when iarrcd
by the motion of the locomotive, the In
temsity Of the light is diminished. The
light will ilImine the track for three

miles ahead, however, so that where
the road is straight, the engineer can
discern any object at that distance. By
another ingenious device, the electric
ity used to run the lamps viii be collect
ed by the friction of the wheels rs the
trains are in motion. Two lamps will
be used for lighting Bergen tunnel, with
one in the middle, as the tunnel is not
straight but curves. Other lamps will
be stationed at each end of the Pavonia
ferry, which will throw a broad belt Of
light across the North river every night
to guide the traveller safely to his home
in the metropolis. These lights will, it
is said, be so intense that on the dark
est fOggy night there will he no danger
of collision on the water any more than
in the day time. Still more, it is pro-
posed to fill Twenty-third street every
night with 4 flood of light from the
North river to the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
so that travellers Mt the heart of the me-
tTOpOlis may at all times be reminded of
the broad and happy way.

IRON CARS.


SINCE the recent accident at Mast
Hope, on Erie railroad, the question Of
the prOpTiety of using iron ears has come
up again for discussion. Just after the
accident of December 18th, 1867, ut An
COLA, on the Lake Shore road, when
seventy persons were killed and forty
were wounded, iron freight cars We're eN-
peTimented with, but the results We're
not satisfactory. Now, however, Il ear
has been proposed which, il is stated,
will entirely sIperSede the wooden cars.
The new ear is composed of wrought
iron tubes, combining the greatest
with the least weight, cannot take fire,
and will not break into SplinterS. An
other advantage consists i'm the greater
amount of merchandise the iron tube
cars will carry. Ii Is asserted that
common box car built of wrought iron
would weigh less than six and Oue-haIf
tons, while wooden ears of the same di-
meusiOns weight not less than ten tons.
The wooden cars are allowed to carry
ten tons of freight; the iron ears, ON ac-
count of their greater strength, it Is he
lieved, could carry thirteen and One-half
tons, the weight of car and freight then
being only twenty tons. The imperfec-
tiOns of railroads are at present also the
subject Of extended comment hv the
journals of England, where the gener-
nj impression has heretofore been that
better protection to life and limb is fur
nished than i'm any other country. But
serious doubts are beginning To be enter
tanned as to the sOUndnesS of this belief.
since the record of accidents that are
daily occurring at the London Railway
stations, and ON the English roads, Is
becoming appalling. The Pail Mall Ca
2ette ChaTacteriZes some Of the stations
lS slaughter-hOUses, where people are
laily butChered, and states that within
a week no less than five or six persons
were killed outright and seven or eight
badly injured in attempting to get ON
and Oft the railway ears as they enter or
90 out of the stations.

The Chattanooga Republican,
good Radical authority, makes this
statement in its issue Of June 3:
"The Commissioner of Registration fo7
this county reports the number OF votes
at 2,244 whites and LOO colored,
making in all 1914, at least fourteen or
fifteen handred more than tho country
would vote If every man in it should GO
to the polls. and deposit his ballot. This
is the result Of giving out blank
certificates to the Chattanooga ring in
order to give them control Of
corporation affairs. We don't suppose
our modern Hugh Alexander has
any more idea about the number Of reg
istered in this country than did his i'm
mortal namesake who conquered the
world and killed himself by drinking
wine some three thousand years ago.

laws; for we have every man in it ems

Weare rapidly getting an insight
into the rascalities practieed by the
registrars, and they seem to be
confined to no particular locality
All these reports, of both Demo
Gratis and Radicals, concur in the
statement that the registration of

There is a split in the Radical party
in Hamilton county, and the Chat

the registrar has been using his of

control of affairs in Chattanooga
These evidences ought to convinct
Gov. Senter that as a rule a mos
corrupt set of men were appointed
registrars. They scruple at moth
ing to advance the interestt
of their party or their wing
of the party where there ha
been a split. Their policy has beer
to keep as many Democrats as pos
sible from registering, and they
have succeeded in preventing thou

WIr.L NOT COMPROuIsE


The Chattanooga Republican, s
Stokes organ, rejects with disdain
the talk Of compromising upon
some new man. That paper says
"There is now some talk of attempt
ing 10 unite the two wings of the Re-
publican party by abandoning both
Stokes and Senter and putting some one
else forward. Mr.. Maynard is the man
most generally spoken Of as the compro-
mise candidate. Mr.. Willhoite, of CleVe~
land, makes this proposition through the
Knoxville Whig. and that paper speak

Indeed 1t expresses very little con

our part we consider that the Senter
party has neither decency, morality nor

with it, not that we have any objection
to Mr.. Maynard. We propose to fight
it out on this line if it takes all sum-
mer,' and we think the party and the
State will be better off on account of the
split, and if we can succeed in putting
rings and rascals out Of power, and if
success does not attend our efforts, the
thought Of having failed in a good cause
will give us some consolation. We had
