FAYETTEVILLE TBNvBsEE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY s. 1870
An Important Invention.

A trial was recently made on the
Northwestern Railroad, near Chics.
go, called the atmospheric Brake,
for stopping trains in motion.
The Invention appears. from the ac-
counts given oft, to be ofgreat i'm
portance. A large number Of rail-
road officials took part in the trial,
which vas made with a special train
of six cars Of the Pennsylvania
Central Railroad, the apparatus be.
ing attached thereto. The report
er of the Chicago Tribune, who
was present, says: a4-<a ~4
Several times, while under full
headway, the brake vas applied in re-
/ ply to pull of the signal rope. aud
almost before one had time to look
around him, and without any i,rk-
ing or slipping Of wheels, the train
was stopped. Arriving at point Il.
bout twenty miles west of Chicago,
the exeursiOnists alighted and gath
cred along the track, and tie train
was then backed up a mile in order
that the practical working of the
apparatus might be seen from the
outside. Getting good start, the
train came on at q speed of about
thirty-two miles au hour, and when
abreast of the party, at a given sig
nal, the engineer applied the brake,
and the train was stopped still with
in sixty feet of Its length; time,
l9 seconds from the time the brake
was applied. The track, it shonld
be observed, wss wet and slippery,
and unfaVorable for a perfect WORK
ing Of the brake. Again the train
was backed up, this time two miles,
and came on at therate of thirty,
eight miles an hour. This time it
vas stopped within fifty feet of its
own length time, Is seconds. The
result was greeted with warm ex-
pressions of delight and approval
by the enthusiastic railroad men pres
ent. who declared that ibe braking
up of train Of six heavy passenger
cars and a locomotive weighing thir-
ty-eight tons, within its own length,
was thing almost miraculous.
The Atmospheric Brake, the
Buffalo Express says, is the inven-
ton Of a Pittsburg mechanic, Geo.
ge Westinghouse. Jr. 1t is opera
ted by selfacting air-pump on the
locomotive is entire ly under the
control Of the engineer, who can
instantly apply it to every car on
the train and as instantly release
it; remains still effective, on both
portions of the train, should the
cars become detached from each
other after it has been applied.
And it does not interfere with the
ordinary hand breaking. Appar-
emily, the invention is one of great
Importance and likely to contrib
ute to the safety of railroad trav-
ell. uct ErA .lie asH 5g

A Woman Rebellion in
Maine,

A singular and unfortunate
scene occurred at the State House
in Augusta, Maine, on Wednesday.
Mrs. Thurston, of Portland, had
caused a notice of a sale of the
State of Maine, its rights, appur.
tenances, &c, to be posted up on
the doors of the State House, and
a little before 10 o'clock she ascend
ed the Speakers rostrum and pro-
ceeded to sell the State to satisfy
her unliquidated claim. Several
bids were made by the Senators
and Representatives at fabulous
sums, but finally the lady struck
lit off to herself, and took her seat
in the Speakers chair. AS far as
this went, all was we'll but the
time for the opening of the session
had now arrived, and Mrs. L. was
politely requested to come down
from her position, but she declined
to do SO, saying that she had
bought in the State, and must
stay and keep her position. Up
on the Clerk ordering the messen-
gers to remove her Ui ct armais, a
scene of great confusion ensued.
She utterly refused to be elected
by force. The members began to
beg Mrs. T. to go out quietly, but
she was deaf to their entreaties ;
she resisted fercely, but was last
seen in the State Library, looking
up legal authorities . sustain her
claim. She is insane upon this
subject. $50

All for Party.

Nearly, if not quite, all
the legislation by Congress has
in view, in some way or other,
the interest of the Republican
party and no. the good of the
country. They are now engaged
at re-reconstructing Virginia, and
the following is the tenor of the
debate thereon:
Mr.. Palmer said that having
watched the question of recon-
struction from the beginning to
this time, he was unwilling to vote
for the admission now of Virgin
ia under any conditions, and gave
as his reason the hostile feeling
evinced in Virginia and other
Southern States to the principles
lof reconstruction and he asked
what guarantee was there that
with these reconstructed States
Iall represented there would be
Republican majority in the forty
second Congress. Laughter on
the Democratic side AS to the
security offered by the Supreme
Court, he would not trust that, for
there were to-day but two men on
that bench who were in accord
with the Republican party.
Mr.. Logan inquired of Mr.. Law
renee what the remedy would be
if Virginia, after her admission,
should undertake to subyert any
of the fundamental conditions of
the bill?
Mr.. Lawrence replied that if,
for instance, Virginia should un-
dertake to disfranchise her colored
citizens, Congress would again
have to reconstruct her.
Mr.. Logan suggested that if
there were always to be a Repub-
lican Congress it would be all very
well but he wanted to know how
it would be if there should hap
pen to be a Democratic Congress,
when Virginia might change her
Constitution A?
Mr.. Lawrence replied that if it
were possible for the American
people to wander so'far into by
paths and forbidden ways as to
abandon the great doctrines of the
Republican party, and hand the
government over to the Democra-
cy, he did not know that there
would be anything left but to say
God have mercy on her soul.
If Virginia should subyert any
of the fundamental provisions of |
her admission, she will be speedily
reconstructed in the name of God |
and TIE Continental Congress.
Mr.. Logan briefly expressed the
difficulty which occurred to bis
mind, in case that hereafter Vir-
ginia should undertake to subvert
any of the fundamental conditions
on which she was admitted while |
the Democratic party should have
control Of Congress.
Mr.. Rogers expressed his anxi-
ETY. to see the question of recon-
struction disposed of, finally, even
though its political effect might
tend to the advantage of the oppo-
sition partY. He appealed to his
own side Of the House, to rise a.
bove party feelings and to be gov
+erned by the great principles of the
Constitution. He had not been
surprised to hear the gentleman
from Ohio (Mr. Palmer) declare
himself opposed to the admission
of Virginia under any conditions,
for he had known that there were
disunionists in the House, as well
as those who had drawn there
swords against the life of the ma
ton. He thanked God that for
himself, he represented a consti-
tuency; if he did not, he would
stink away, and his friends would
disown him, and even his wife
would disown him. [Applause

The resolution of the Rel ublican
State Convention to the effect that
the radical party is an honest, faith
full, and economical party, reminds
one of Abe Lincoln's conundrum.-
IF you call Calls tail leg, how
many legs would he havc?" The
answer Of the questioned would be,
five. but Old Abe would tell him,
"no he wouldn't, you darned fool
don't you know that calling a tail a
leg, don't uake it so. Had he un-
oerstood that calling tail a leg did
not make it so, he would readily have
seen that calling q corrupt party
honest, did not make it so.
