Governor scottln Washington
WAsnlNGroN, March 23.-Governor
Il. Is. Scott made a speech hero lato
last night at a radical mass meeting,
called to urge the passage Of tho
Georgia bill. His remarks weic par
ticularly insolcnt. lie said in conclu.
sion:
at is time that wcak-knecd men in
Congress, who feel that they arc car
rrlag Legislation little too far,
should make up their minds to recog-
nizo tho Southern Confcdcracy, and
leave us to do tho best VIC can for
oorsclyc$. AS to Georgia, you give
the loyal people there arms and they
will protect themselves. I say to
yon, gentlemen, this evening, as for
South Carolina, no Republican will
ever 60 to the doors Of Congress again
and knock for admission with a ma
iority against him, because his friends
have been prohibited by intimidation
nul murder from voting. Unloss this
thing stops bcre, l tell you that the
next class Of men that comes here
will be tho rebel element Of that
country, asking for protection. We
have stood upon picket line for four
years. spent four years in the
army, aud never felt greater danger
on picket line than I did during the
campaign Of 1868. I say lot Georgia
alone. Strike out tho Bingham
amendment. Admit the State.
"Lnt them fight out their own bat
ties. If th"y decide that they want an
c.cution, I say to the members of the
Legislature Of Georgia, when you 90
home pass such laws us will give your
Governor power to arm every man in
tho State. Make All appropriation to
enable him to buy all the Winchester
rifles that he can, and ono hundred
rounds of ammunition for caoh man,
and then demand fair election. Let
every man vote as he plcascs, Coerce
no man keep no man away; but let
him so up and vote, and you your
selves demand the same right. [ tell
you the Winchester rifle is the best
law that you can havo there r'---

y CAD hHMANCE OF THE ONEIDA
DlsAsrMn.-A correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Enquircr furnishes the fol-
lowing: "ln conversation with very
intelligent and accomplished lady
FROM Maine, u few days since, [ learn
the following facts, which throw the
shadow Of 4 sad romance over tho
Oneida disaster: Commander Will
n ha hau uk n51s
and one OF the lost, was widower Of
something less than forty, and the
flasher of two bright little children. In
May last hu contracted an engage
mcnt for his second marriage, which
was to have taken place very soon af-
ter the arrival OF the Oneida in this
country. | believe it was fixed for
tho middle Of April. lIo left the
United States for Japan 10 Juno Ia, t.,
and Just before his departure he was
one of dinner party, Mt which my
informant and tho aflianoed bride
were also thele. Had he returned safe
" Lo would have known fate which
his brave heart would not have met
with the cool courage that faced dsSth
at his post on the qnaricr-deok Since
the first uf January his two children
and his intended wifo have died.
Wh'n he left Japan he had not heard
this sad news, but supposed he was
coming home to meet them all in
health and happiness. So to one, at
least, Of the gallant men who went
down OH tho Inflated steamer, death
can not be called disaster. Ill.
AN IMPORTANT INvENYIoN.--1n view
orthc great number Of boiler sxplosiops
III tho country. Of late, much interest
attaches here to the series Of expert
ments just finished at tho Washingt on
Navy Yard, under the direction of
Admiral Dahlgren, with a double
action safety-yalvo, invented by a Mr..
Bodcn, Of Louisville. Tho first trial
was hyd'aulic, tho second by FIRE, and
both were emincntly successful. In
making the latter, tho boiler, having
10 waterin it., was heated to as high q
temperature us was deemed necessary,
and then suddenly supplied with wa.
Ter through a twe-inch aperture. The
steam formed, and instantly as tho
outer valve rose the inner valve fell,
and tho necessary relief was givcn.--
This trial at the Navy Yard is tho
fifth to which the Boden valvo has been
subjected, the first having been by red
heat, the second BY black lcat, and
ono having been a deliberate attempt
made by practical steamboat engi-
neer, with The inventor's consent, to
blow an old boiler to atoms, The at
tempt failed. Up, '
A bill is going through tho Penn
sylvonia Legislature authorizing juries
in case Of felony, punishable with
death, to endor averdict that che
