ible to hold an engine up to spe !, when driving
the heavy load, and when steam flows slowly
through the valve, and the governor action (Which
opens the valve) is reduced to thu least amount
These two reductions call for tn. greatest width
attainable at the base of the steam port other
wise the engine chokes and staggers under less
than its whole load.
Many Governors and Valves, now advertised as
great improvements, have not more than or 8
inches width of steam port at the base and there

giving from fifteen to twenty per cent more pow
er to the engine when most wanted.
Persons building or using Steam Engines, will
do well to apply their own common sense in choos-
ing governors that will not rob their engines of
power, and depreciate their value more than the
cost of Judson Governor, the patented principle
ofwhich gives 100 per cent of power, and conse
quently the most uniform speed possible to obtain
which is demonstrated by the universally admit.
ted fact of its great superiority over all others the

DANA, of the New York Sun,
has. taken up ihe Cudgel in defence
of Mcfarland, who recently killed
A. D. Richardson, Of the New
York Tribune. So far as we have
seen, Dana is the only journalist
who attempts to excuse the act of
Mcfarland. To exonerate the
murdererer, Dana, with his usual
disregard of deCency, hurls a
philippe at the heads Of the min-
isters who Sfficiated at the mar
riage Of Mr.. Richardson and Mrs.
Mcfarland. This marriage oc-
Cured but few hours before the
death of Richardson, and after he
was shot. Dana pronounces the
marriage indecent and immoral,
and begins at once q systematic
effort to blacken and defame the
character Of the poor woman, who
is d LOUDLY bereaved. But as mis-
representation is evidently Dana'i
peculiar strength, we are not sen.
sibly surprised at his declarations

TEE New York Harnld Of the

TIE New York Herald of the
4th treats Of the recent elections
in Mississippi and Texas as fol-
lows:
ut will be the funniest of the
many issues of modern politics il,
after all, Mississippi shall prove,
as seems now nearly certain, to
have gone strongly radical. Only
fancy the chagrin of Dent! He
quarreIod with the White House
and all chances in his certainty
of success on the conservative
ticket, and where is heH He tried
to stand before Mississippi, in vir-
tue Of his relationship with Grant,
as a quasi administration man, and
the administration was oil against
him. He tried to commend him
self to the conservatives as one
martyred by the more radical end
of the administration, and the con-
servatives repudiate him as n car
pet-bagger and give their suffra-
ges to the radical, who is, withal,
a man of their own State. The
real balance wheel of political ma.
chinery is at last the popular YER
dict, and a very healthy sign ofits
action is that so often and so clear
ly this popular verdict bears more
direct relation to the personal
character of the candidate than to
so-called party principles and ar
guments. We can explain on nc
other view the dissimilarity Of the
results'in Mississippi and Texas
In Texas, as the dispatches tel
US, the Colored vote is large, IL
some counties in a great majority
but the appearances are that thu
radical candidate is beaten"
