To SEE DowN WELL.-The New
Hampshire Journal of agriculture suggests
an excellent plan for exploring the bottom
of well:
1T is not generally known how easy
matter it is to examine the bottom of
well, cistern or a pond of water by the use
of a common mirror. When the sun is
shining, hold mirror so that the reflected
rays of light will fall into the water. A
bright spot may be seen at the bottom, SO
light as to show the smallest object very
plainly. By this means we have examined
the bottom of wells fifty feet Deep when
half full or more of water The smallest
straw or other small objects can be perfectly
seen from the surface. In the same way
one can examine the bottom of ponds and
rivers, if the water be somewhat clear, and
not agitated by winds or rapid motion. If
a we'll or cistern be under cover, or shaded
by a building, so that the sunlight will not
fall near the opening, it is only necessary to
employ two mirrors, using one to reflect the
light to the opening, and another to send it
down perpendicularly in the water. Light
may be thrown fifty or a hundred yards into
the precise spot desired, and then reflected
downward. We have used the mirror witt
success to reflect the light around the felt
to shaded spot, and also to carry it from
south window through two rooms ant
then into cistern on the north side of thu
house. Half dozen reflections of the light
may be made, though each mirror diminish
es the brilliancy of the light Let any ont
net familiar with this method try it, ant
he will find it not only useful, but pleasant
experiment. 1t will perhaps reveal a mas,
of sediment at the bottom of a well that ha
been little thought of, but which may have
beena fruitful source of disease, by its de

TIE FOUR CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND.
MENTS,

Our last Republican Legislature, by an
almost unanimous Republican vote.
adopted four constitutional amendments
to be submitted to the people for ratifca-
ton at the coming election.
Each and all of these amendments are
necessarily Republican measures, and a
part Of the principles and platform of the
Republican party of this State.
Fidelity and good faith to our party
and our Republican administration re-
quire that all Republican tickets should
have properly printed upon them an
affirmative vote on all four of these
amendments, and that prominent and lead
ing Republicans throughout the State should
see to it that no other tickets are distributed
among or rotea by Republicans.
A full Republican vote for tie four pro-
posed constitutional amendments is so
essential to the credit and welfare of the
Republican party, both at home and
abroad, that all Republicans must be held
to a strict accountability for their inhu-
ence and votes upon them but we conf
IDENTIFY rely upon the intelligence and
fidelity Of the prominent members of our
party throughout the State to see that
none but properly printed tickets are dis
tributed or voted in their neighborhoods.

WAITING FOR THE RAILROAD.

The following from the Houston Union
is rather hopeful than prophetic. Doubt
less the people have become anxious for a
railroad at last. After sleep Of quar-
ter Of a century they have now awakened
ard are anxious for somebody else to
make up for the time they have lost:
Times BEGIN TO WORK.-We learn that
northern Texas proposes to establish di-
rect line Of stages from the terminus of the
Central road via Sherman to the terminus
o: the Kansas road in the territory, making
communication with st. Louis direct, 1t
will not be long until we shall cease alto
gether to 20 by New Orleans to reach the
cities of the North and East. 1t will not be
long until we shall not care much whether
the railroad between Texas and New Or
leans is ever built or not. The way we are
now going on. the time is not distant when
the bulk of the trade of Texas will go to
St. Louis instead OF coming to our gulf
ports. Then our gulf ports will be mere
shipping points for the export of cotton and
the import of heavy goods. Our railroads
had better hurry up.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-10-27

1t is aggravating that the President will
enjoy himself on the sea-shore when ne
has nothing to do, and that he will busy
himself at Washington when there Is
work-to be done. But it is Grants way,
and it must be endured while it can not
be cured.
Governor Hoffman,, in New York, who
thought to have things his own way IN
spite of the law, and Governor Smith, OF
Alabama, who can not have anything his
own way because he trusted the Democ-
racy, will find the President behind them
on the day of election. He is bound by
his oath to uphold Republican form OF
government in all the States, and this is
his present urgent reason for not visiting
the Georgia State Fair. Troops have
been demanded in order that some men
shall be prevented from voting too often
in New York, and that other men shall be
allowed to vote fairly and squarely in
Alabama, and the President is supplying
the demand. He is taking the RESPONSE
bility. The Democracy is mad about 1t,
and is using villainously bad language
against him for doing it, but he is never
theless moving on the enemys works just
as he did at Five Forks. It is a hard ar
gument that he is using. but it has been
used before in just such cases, and Will
continue to be used until that good time
comes when force, fraud and Ignorance
consent to let peace, honesty and intelli
gence prevail. General Grant does not
expect to restrain single honest voter of
his rights, but he does propose to hold a
better hand than the election swindlers in
the game of controlling the ballot-box,
If any good citizen can see any
evil in this, he is too deeply welded to the
theories of politics to be a safe guardian
of his own rights. General Grant is a
practical man He considers that the bal
lot-box ought to be kept pure, even if a
little force has to be used to do it with
What good citizen would complain if some
officer shot a man who was attempting to
blow up a house, without waiting for
warrant to arrest him. Suppose an evil
disposed wretch should attempt to poison
fountain, and the only way to arrest the
crime was to shoot the poisoner, would
any citizen complain Of the officer who
fired the shot? Hardly. This is just the
line of argument suitable to this occasion.
Bad men, wrong headed men, are attempt
ing to poison the ballot-box, which is the
fountain of government. The President
sees the evil, and is using his endeavors to
prevent it. The only complaint that
comes against him is from the parties that
are engaged in the attempt. They are
barking up the wrong tree. Grant has his
line staked out, and his usual obstinacy
will see him through with it. And We say,
good speed. 1t is his way, and it has never
failed him yet. Let those who wish that
he was at the Georgia State Fair content
themselves with the prospect Of his con-
tinual presence in Washington until the
full argument Of his duty is fulfilled.

GRANTS DAY OF DUTY.

President Grant has signifed to the
Georgia State Fair Committee that the
duties of his Office will detain him at
Washington for the present The New
York World thinks the President might
have found this announcement profitable
to the country while he was enjoying
himself at the seaside. This is mere
matter of opinion. General Grant is a
good judge of his duties. He has never
been found absent from his post in the
day of necessity. In fact, he has an OBJ
stinate way Of staying at home when
wanted, which his opponents have had
serious reason to complain of. And per-
haps his presence in Washington at this
time is the foundation of the ill-natured
remark of the World. He is there dis
posing Of little matter of duty at present.
He is sending troops to New York. He
is sending the same arguments to Ala
bania. He is providing for the public
peace. A body of cheats in New York,
and body of rowdies in Alabama, are
using their wits and revolvers to defraud
the electors of full and fair ballot. Cen
eral Grant is seeing about this business
He is interfering with the Democracy in
their game Of fraud and violence And
he Is in Washington for this public duty.
