French journals report very singular
mode of carrying letters. resorted to during
the present war. Two hollow Eemispheres
of zinc were filled with eight hundred let
ters and then soldered together, so as to
form a ball twenty-five centimetres or nearly
ten inches in diameter. This ball, on the
circumference Of which small paddles were
attached, was thrown into Seine some dis
tance above Paris, and vas 6shed up at that
! city at a water gate contrved for that pur-
pose. The weight of the ball was so adjus-
| ted that it moved at a certain depth below
| the surface of the water, the current striking
the paddles and driving it rapidly along.

An Explanation.

When Mr.. Davis, the Senator from Ber ks
tee on tee Apportionment bill, made his re
port. we took occasion to express our oPpo>
sition to the union Of Cambria with Elk
county in the same Senatorial district. The
article was written hastily and without due
reflection, and without the least intention of
impugning any mans motives. We under
stand that our remarks have given offence
to Mr.. Wallace. the Speaker of the Senate.
as we'll as. to Mr.. Rose. our member. Mr..
Wallace at one time represented Cambria
county in the State Senate. and no man is
more honored and respected by the democ-
racy of this county. He has always been
true to what we regard as the best interests
of our county. Mr.. Roses character and
standing as a democrat are attested by his
election to the House and by his political acts
every whore.
We vel, know all about the difficulties
and embarassmsnts of framing an Appor-
tionment bill, having prepared and success
fully passed the bill for that purpose during
the session Of 1850; and now iuasmuch as
the suddenly prepared article referred to has
been mi.construed, and upon cue reflection
would not have been published at all, We
say to Senator Wallace and Representative
Rose. that the article in the Freeman only
expressed the individual opinion of its writer.
hastily formed. and that it neither then was
nor is it noic intended to express the feelings
and views OF the democratic party of Cambria
county against the bill. We trust that this
explanation of our motives will be sat,sfac-
tory to all concerned. We believe that the
democratic party of this county fully endorse
the bill of Mr.. Davis as it finally passed
the Senate.

THE election in New Hampshire, which took
Mace on Tuesday resulted in no choice for
Governor There were three candidates III the
Republican. Denocratic. and Labor Re
form. As it requires a majority of ali the
votes cast 10 elect, and as neither had major
ity. the question will ge to the Legislature,
which will choose Il Republican.
The above elegant extract is taken from
the last issue of the Johnstowu Tribune. -
Why did not the editor tell the precise truth
He knew when the article was written that
he misrepresonted the facts and results OF
the election. for be fails to admit that the
democrats elected all their three candidates.
Messrs Hibbard, Bell and Parker, to Con-
gress, in place Of the three radical members,
thus making democratic gain Of six mem
bers. OF course the truth did not suit his
political purposes, but as we know Mr..
Swank, the editor of the Tribune, and res
pect him, we would like to see him tell the
whole truth when he undertakes to eulghteu
his readers on those political subjects about
which there is not and cannot be any dis
pute. If Mr.. Weston. the democratic can
didate for Governor. has not been elected by
the people Of the State. there is a sure and
certain majority in the Senate and House,
which, under the law of New Hampshire,
will carry out and express the yeice of the
people By eecting him to that high position

wendell Philips On Grant,

We assume, as foregone conclusion, and
as a universally admitted fact, that the adj
ministration of Gen. Grant is dead and has
entirely lost the confidence Of even his own
party. AS an evidence Of this prevailing g
opinion in the republican press of the coun-
try, we publish the following article from
the pen of Wendell Phillips, the editor of
the National Standard of Boston. 10 some
things that Mr.. Phillips says we unqualified.
ly agree, while in reference to other express
sions of his we entirely dissent However,
he is an able man. but bitter partisan
and as be fully understands the weakness
and imbecilty Of Grants miserable aud COR
rupt administration, and exposes aud lays it
bare, we freely give place to the following
severe and scathiug article from his mastery
pen
A word sometimes stuns a drunkard into So
briefly. Possibly the insult offered and the
peril brought 10 the Republican party by the
removal of Mr.. Sumner may have this effect
on the nation. We may see the loyal men of
the North rally 10 the defence of the Union.
If not, then there is but one thing more tor
Congress 10 do III order to sign the death war
rant OF the Republican party and possibly of
the Union. Let Congress now adjoura with
out authorizing martial law at the South to
curb the Ku-klux, and they have assured the
election of Democrat to the PI esidency. -
Indeed the mood of Washington in regard TO
the anarchy of the South is such that con
slider the matter about settled. The Thirty
three Republicans who last week removed Mr.
Sumner iron his post elected a Democratic
President for 1872. Whether Grant will con-
sent to run on Democratic ticke, is of course
uncertain. Probably he does not himself know
yet. But evidently Buffers bill on the ku-
hluI is not likely TO become Law. The
same obserVieuCy that ate dirt in the Summer
matter stands ready 10 defeat that. Any sub
situte that sends Southern assassins 10 be
tried by Jury of fellow assa assips is a mock
cry. Nothing short OF shooting half a dozen
Southern miilionaires at the drum head will

THE SITUATION IN PARIs.-Paris is in
full possession of the red republican revolu-
tiouists. The National Guards, 10 obedience
to orders from the Central Republican
Committee" have taken up positions in va
rious quarters of the city, meeting with no
resistance. The red flag flies from the Hotel
de Vile, and its windows are crowded with
armed insurgents. Ricotti Garibaldi, son of
the Italian liberatnr, directs the insurrection,
and it was by his orders that Generals
Thomas and lie Comte were shot. In the
mean while NJ. Theirs and the regular gov
ernment arc at Versailles. whittier Mr..
Washburne and the whole Diplomatic body
have gone. The President is said to be res
oIute. though full of grief. The air is full
of rumors, One has it that negotiations for
a settlement of the difficulties have been
opened between the insurgents and the gov.
eminent; another, that the Assembly is
about to proclaim General Faidherbe dicta-
tator another, that the National Guards
are about to march on Versailles. Theirs
has telegraphed for 80 900 regulars to come
to the defence of the state. There is great
agitation in the departments and risings are
expected in Lyons. Marsailles, and even
Bordeaux. The Bonapartist agents are &C
tive. Napoleon has arrived in England and
tells The World correspondent that he will
be recalled to France sooner or later. The
Germans are ready to re-enter Paris if neces-
sary. These are piping times, and they are
making history rapidly over the water.-N.

A DESPERATE HUsBAND.--.4H attempted DiHr~
der of a Wife and Subsequent Suicide.-The
quiet town Of Greensburg, Wes.moreland
county, was thrown into fearful state OF
excitemen. on Saturday afternoon last by
tragedy, shocking in the extreme. resulting
in the death of Sir. Oscar Ray. 1t appears
that for scme time past there had been more
or less differences between himself and vile,
Ray being exceedingly jealous in his disposl,
tion, and eventually Mrs. hay determined
TO leave him and 60 to her friends. They
had formerly lived in Indiana. Mrs. Ray,
being a native of Greensburg. returned to
the residence of Lieut. John Kyle, where her
mother resided. Ray became furious be-
cause his wife left him. and arming himself
with a revolver he proceeded to Greensburg
ON Saturday, and going to Lieutenant Kyle's
residence, he, after some difficulty. gained
the consent of the family to an interview
with Mrs. Ray. He at once demanded to
know if she would return with him.
NO I cannot" she replied.
Then" said he, Il bic you a long and
eternal farewell"
He instantly drew his revolver. and aim
ing at his wife, fired. But Mr.. Kyle and
a gentleman named Cline, who were near at
hand, interrupted his arm, causing the ball
to pass over his wife's head and into the
mantel-piece. He made repeated attempts
to kill her, but failing in his diabolical work
turned the pistol and shot himself through
the breast. He was placed in a wagon and
carried to JAIL where lie soon died.
Mrs. Cynthia Ray is the daughter of Jas.
Harvey. deceased. who was once prothODo-
tary of Westnoreland county. and is lady
of unblemished character and respec'ability
Her husband loved her. and was likely rem
dered desperate by jealousy and his own
bad passions. The sfflictions of the families
of the parties are great and receive general
sympathy. - Pittsburgh Leader.
