A New and Valuable Pavement.

Prof. Wurtz recently introduced to
the scientific world a new asphaitic
pavement under the name of Graham
ite. It was subjected to severe tests
in the presence of eminent engineers
The experiments proved that it would
stand a pressure twenty times greater
than that required to crush granite. It
was exceedingly tough and slightly
plastic.
From recommendations made by
gentlemen who witnessed these expert
ments, pavement Of about two hun
dred feet in length was ordered to be
laid on the Battery, from the foot OF
Whitehall street to q point opposite
the wharf, where heavy stones used in
building the post office are unloaded
The pavement was finished some weeks
ago. Since then enormous loads oi
stone have been drawn over the pave
ment, during the most trying part o.
the year. The more it is used the hard
er and smoother it becomes. It is gray
in color, clean and pleasant to the eye
It can be made to stand heat Of 50(
degrees without softening. A repre-
sentative of the Sun, in company will
Prof Wurtz, visited the pavemen
yesterday. In the sunshine the pave
ment was so hot that it was painful tC
hold the palm of the hand upon ii
Hard blows were struck with a ham
mer upon the face of the composition
1t was like pounding a we'll seasone
slab of sole leather with broad head
ed hammer. After vigorous endeay
oringto make an injurious impressio
upon the asphalt, Mr.. Wurtz remarL
ed, ''Now, sir; you can invite all tn
readers of the Sun to come and poun
this pavement with sledge hammer
it will stand all the pounding gour mi
lion of readers can give it. 1t
claimed that this pavement is the mos

There can be little doubt the great
cat danger Of the country hes in the
ease with which corrupt mer, by skill
ful combination, can secure and retain
political power. We seem to be threat
ened, from one end Of the land to the
other, with a universal reign of "rings."
Every city and village pays tribute TO
a Clique. Every State capital is the
henTeaa combination, organized for the
purpose of plumber. Even in national
affairs, investigating committees dis
cover tSofss, ugly transactions some
times, Indicating the existence of rings
whose purpose it is 10 rob the people
at large, as the smaller cliques are rob
bing them in detail. y ~
These facts are trite in the telling
Our ears have become use to their it
Grafton, We all feel and see the -tfan-
ger in the general way, and yet we do
nothing to purify politics; and this.
not because We are Indifferent o. care
less, OF corrupt, as people, but be-
cause we are kept constantly misin-
formed by those who profess to en-
tighten US.
Whenever the fraudulent practices
Of a clique are exposed. the news
papers, not content with denouncing
the wrong for its own sake, and plead
ing for the right, pure and simple, at
once make a partisan affair of it, hast
ing to fasten the responsibility upon
the party to which this particular ring
happens to belong. AS a result of
course, the honest members Of that
party repudiate the exposure as a Re-
publican or Democratic falsehood, as
the case may be, refusing to believe
that theIe is any purpose in it, other
than the advancement of partisan in
terests. And thus we lose mach ofthe
| good which ought to come from the
exposure.
Now it is evident that the men who
manipulate primaries, trade in conren-
! tiOns, and bribe caucuses, do so SIM
ply that they may steal money from
the public purse. They have no DO
litical or other principles of their own,
and they expOuse those of the party
which happens to be in the ascendent
in their particular field of operations.
To charge their frauds upon that party
is not only often MUST but always i'm
polite. 1t gives to the plundereYs
strength which they could not other
wise command. 1t makes that par
tisan movement which should be a
popular one. We all know that there
are thousands of honest men in each
of the two great political parties Of
the eountry-men who will not know
ingly support corruption or tolerate
dishonesty. But partisan exposures
of fraud fail to convince them, and
they vote year after year for the candi-
dates of their party, believing them to
be maligned when their villainiss are
exposed,
The existence of party lines, OF
course, is unavoidable, and within cer-
tain limits the advocacy of party mea-
sures ia right enough; but there are
interests far above these considera.
tions, and it seems unfortunate that
they should be sacrificed in q struggle
for partisan success Hearth and
Home.

GEN. MOVES SPEECH.

We make the following extract from
Gen. Noyes' opening speech of the
campaign, at Columbus, August 25th:
FINANCE.
The subject most difficult to handle,
and, perhaps, second to no other in i'm
portance, is that of the national
finances. The public debt at the close
of the war was so enormous, that our
opponents told US it could never be
paid, and one measure after another
for total or partial reputation was
proposed by them. One contended
for reputation altogether, another
wanted the bonds taxed, and a third
would pay off the bonds in a depre-
ciated currency, in violation of the ma
tiOnal pledge. The Republican party
listened to none of these suggestions,
determined to preserve the public cred
it, and maintain the country's honor.
We have now the satisfaction of
knowing that, under the present Ad-
ministration, the national debt has
been diminished to the extent of more
than two hundred and thirty millions
of dollars, in the face of the opposi-
ton of Democratic Congressman,
while at the same time the annual
amount of taxes has been reduced
ninety millions. ard will be reduced
by the next Congress, as Sherman
and Morton tell us, from thirty to fifty
millions more Our debt grows small
er and our taxes lighter. This gene
ration can pay every dollar we owe,
and can give to the world an exhibition
of national integrity and public hon
esty which will be an example for all
time to come. All we need is to con-
tinue an honest and efficient collection
of the revenue, and faithful applica-
ton of it to the payment of debts
| and expenses a persistent economy in
the conduct of public affairs; deter
mination to manfully bear our burdens
till we are honorably rid of them. We
| will make our currency equal to gold
and then give creditors their choice in
payment, rather than food the coun.
try with irredcenable greenbacks, as
New Departure Democrats DESIRE
There is but one honest way to be rid
of debt, and that Is to pay it. Wher
it is paid, circum stances will be easy
and comfortable Or to use the Ian
guage of Gov. Hoffman, of New York
There is no way to get out of deb
but enc, either for nations or individ
uals. A man cannot pay his debt by
giving his note, nor can any govern
ment pay its obligations by the issu
of irredeemable paper. There is bu
one standard of value, and that ha
been fixed by the common consent O
the world, and by that standard mus
all debtors ultimately be judged. A
no -quack remedies can reno We deep
rooted diseases SO no ingeniously de
vised financial schemes can point on
any but the one.way to pay a nation
debts

Senator Thurman at Columbus.

AS We hoped it would, so it has
turned out to be. The telegram from
Columbus, Ohio Ia asserting that Sen
ator Thurman, in bis speech there had
said in unqualified terms thatthe Dem
ocrats were now as much opposed ts
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments, as they ever were. put the case
too strongly. From a carefully revis-
ed report ef the distinguished Senator'S 9
speech, it appears that he did not ex-
press himself in exactly those terms.
He showed how and why the Demo
Gratis had opposed those two Amend
ments hut, to use his own words, he
admitted that they ''have been fastened
upon us"
This is well, so far as it goes. But
there is one serious omission in his re-
vised report Of the speech-revised,
no doubt, by his own hand. He does
not tell the country that, though the
Democrats opposed the Amendments
while they were pending, they never
theless will, now that they are ''fasten-
ed upon u.s." treat them as valid parts
of the Constitution, and, in the event
of the party's elevation to power in
| 1872, that they will not attempt to dis
lrb them, but, on the contrary, faith
fully execute them.
Mr.. Thurman may rest assured that
no candidate who docs not take this
ground can be chosen to the Presiden-
CIV Mt the next election. There is no
subject on which the minds of vast
majority of the American people are
more irrevocably made up than that
the three recent amendments to the
Constitution shall never be disturbed

= An instance of the manner in
which the designs of INSCRIPTIONS per-
sons engaged in schemes to defraud
the public are frequently baffied
through the exposure of their rascally
projects in the columes of the public
press, is afforded in the case of the
Kankakee Ora ining Company. A
party of speculators last winter got an
act through the Indiana Legislature
giving them power to mortgage some
six hundred thousand acres of land be-
longing to farmers and others, without
their consent, on the pretence that GER
tain improvements were to be effected
with the money raised on the mortgage.
As preposterOus as il may appear. tho
Legislature actually gave this Com
pany" power 20 take such action; but
the press gave the scheme such q
| thorough ventilation that the conspiF-
! ators became alarmed, the President
of the Company resigned, its attorney
changed over 10 the side of the farm
ers, the treasurer refused to servo, aud
the speculation exploded entirely. 1t
is asserted that the plan was to mort
gage the lands for more than their
v lle, foreclose the mortgage, and b Iv

The Chicago grain market has re-
Gently been in highly demoralized
condition, owing to the operations of
clique Of grain gamblers who succeed
ed in working up a corner in wheat
These grain gamblers make contracts
to buy or deliver grain in immense
quantities, often without owning or
expecting to own a bushel of the com
modify. There is a great difference
in the effect upon general trade be
tween stock gam bling, as practised in
Wall street and elsewhere, aud grain
gambling. In speculative stock opera
tions, as a rule, only the dealers them
selves are affected by the vicissitudes
of the business. The persons engaged
in them are like a party of men who
play draw power among themselves for
year. There may be large amount
of money lost and won during the
time, but it all remains with some of
the party, and no others either gain or
lose by the result of the game. The
most mischievous results of grain gam
bling, however, fall upon farmers and
the general public. For instance, the
battle which ragged last week between
/ GllC lOliS SthNA SIAO46 4lltClCSGo III
brought loss upon thousands of inno-
cent parties, and in many instances,
| doubtless, utter ruin. Vessels are
living at the wharves unable to load be-
cause shippers could not afford to buy
grain at the artificial prices produced
bv the excitement. The owners of
Touring mills were obliged to suspend
operations because millers could not
buy wheat at the prices then ruling,
and sell flour at the price it would be
likely to command when the furry
caused by the corner should subside.
Country shippers who had lcgitimately
sold their grain to arrive in August
found themselves unable to reach the
market in time, owing to the pressure
existing for cars to bring in grain fol
sale before the high price should dis
appear, and were obliged to lose twenty
or twenty cents bushel on thcil
: own property, rs they could only fiji
their contracts by purchasing wheat a
an eXorbitant price from the combina
ton. The grain business was also de
ranged in many other ways by thi
; corner; values were unsettled, and tn
interests both of producers and con
sumers seriously prejudiced. Th
{ people of Illinois have realizing sens
! of the misohievous effects of fictitioU
q operationstn grain, and the Legislatur
has passed laws prohibiting sales with
ont actual delivery, but they have bee
of no effect Although faro dealer
: are frequently arrested and convicte
o in Chicago, it would seem that there
) no way in which the law can be mad
to interfere with the operations oftb
grain gamblers.-[N. Y. Sun.

NEW DEPARTURE.

The Democratic party entertains no
honest convictions upon any subject,
and has no principle Of action what
ever. 1t seeks only success. and is SO
short-sighted and mistaken rs not to
understand that the best way to attain
success is to deserve it. The present
platform of the party, in this State, is
sham, and it's attitude o .delusiOn.-
Everybody knows that until recently,
the Democratic party, North and South
have contended that every substantial
thing done by the Republican party
since the close of the war has been IL
legal and void. They said that the re-
organization of the State governments
for the seeded States was provided for
by rump Congress, having no power
| to act, and that hence the governments
they created were nullities and that in
adopting the amendments to the Con
stitution these Southern States acted
under duress and restraint; that per
sons entitled to vote were denied the
privilege that the people were over
awed by the menacing Federal author
tiles and that hence the amendment.

are illegal and void. Nor does any
one believe they think differently to

, in his letter to Senator Thurman dc
ciining to take part in the State can
vass, express the sentiments of ma
2 jorty Of the Democratic party of Ohi'
