AMONG the many improvements in
cities which the enforced rebuilding oil
Chicago has suggested, is that OF heating
the entire town with steam in manner
very similar to that by which II was form
erly lighted-by means of pipes running
under ground from some central reservoir
10 each house, thus doing away forever
with the annoyance caused by bad coal,
damp wood, kindlingS, &c. 1t may be
doubted whether the time is ripe for SO ex'
tenslvc an improvement; but when VIC ro'
member that steam may be forced through
these pipes to an immense distance, with
q very slight diminution of heat, and al
the rate Of seven miles per minute, 1t does
indeed seem as II the day could not be lal
distant when practical application shal
be made Of what has long been theoreti
cally admitted.

VIZ trust none Of our Democratic read

ing the excellent letter ol Prof. PENDLE.

day. We would gladly know that they
have taken to heart the counsel he gives
as to the kind Of men who ought to be
chosen "a seats in the Convention, and
share the enlightened and patriotic spirit
by which he processes to be animated.
They cannot fail to have noted how differ
ent is the spirit of that letter, written as
it is by an ardent Democrat, from the
animus that pervadeS and characterizes
al the utterances OF their party paper IN
this city. Mr.. PENDLEToN recognizes
the truth heretofore affirmed by that pa
peri that party politics has no lot or part
in such a body, and while warm partl'
san when party issues are at stake he
rises above the partisan here, where he
affirms they have no place.

themselves how well their Convention has
embodied in their ticket Mr., PENDLE.

WE hope our Ohio County readers will
not forget, in the interest ol other ques'
tions al issue in the approaching election,
that pressure IL certain to be brought to
bear in the convention by great corpora.
tions for exemptions and privileges which
they cannot claim under the present con.
sttution. For example, the constitution
now requires that every kind Of property
shall bo taxed uniformly with every other
Railroad Companies claim that on &C.
count Of the general benefits they con.
fer on the community they ought not to be
taxed like other property holders. There
is the best of reason for apprehendinG
that the companies will seek to Influence
the convention to 80 modify the existing
provisions regarding taxation as to lesv'
a discretion with the Legislature to maxi
special exemptions in the case oi rail
road corporations.
We ought to ask ourselves which O
