our steam Engine.


steamer we have put in works most adj
mirably, and during the work of putting
it in operation has been visited by sever
al of our machinists and railroad engin-
GERS, all of whom are good judges, and
We believe have been unanimous in their
admiration of it. 1t was made at Chit
tenango, New York, Skinner d Walrath
builders, and obtained of Mr.. +. G..
Butler, secretary of the Vermont Farm
Machine Co., of this place, who is agent
for the sale of the same, in this state and
New Hampshire. 1t is three horse
power but probably has even more than
that amount of power as usually rated.
We had decided to buy a more preten-
tious engine, when the manufacturers
announced rise" in their terms, and
observing an unpretending advertise
ment in Boston paper, we decided TO
make further inquiries which led to the
purchase of the one above mentioned.
With this engine as now arranged in our
office we can run three presses at the
same time including our new Cottrell &
Babcock, and it would probably easily
run as much more machinery if wanted.
On Tuesday one of our printers run a
half medium Liberty press with but five
pounds of steam for some time and on
Wednesday the same press was run with
even less amount. While thirty or for
ty pounds will easily carry all three
presses at the same time. We suspect
however that TO our machinist, Mr.. Nor
man S. Brockway, much credit is due at
this point, for the very nice manner with
which he has adjusted and hung all the
shaftng and pullies connected with the
engine. Mr.. Brockway is a natural born
machinist, as all we'll know who know
him, and some time ago built an engine
for his own use in his quo shop, and he
obligingly consented to set up our en-
CINE and put it in operation for u.s. He
has thus had the entire charge of it and
set it in motion without the least hesita-
ton or delay, a good point for both him
and the engine. 1t is easily tended and
almost noiseless, and allowing us to judge
after a weeks work with it, it gives US
complete satisfaction We deem it full
equal if not superior to any other engine
for such use, being strongly and COM
pactly built, and costs but $500, which
is $3.50 less than the other kinds in mar
ket. 1t has been patented but little more
than a year and of course not so we'll and
generally known.
We took two or three months TO make
inquiries, and feel well paid for it, al.
ways taking counsel of a sanhedrim of
good machinists who all finally agreed
and in this connection we desire 10 ex
press our thanks to Messrs. +. G. But
Ter and Albert Derby of this place and
Mr. L. 0. Green, of the Woodstock
Standard, for valuable suggestions and
information, and especially to Mr.. Der
by. who in his travels about the country
was constant in picking up and sending
us information of much value. We
have made rather long story of this
matter, not as an advertisement, for We
have not cent of pecuniary interest il
saying word about it, but as matter
of interest to the craft or others who
may want good and cheap small
stea m power.

Republican party by their official dis.
honesty and Wholesale corruption. Sach
wretohes were they, he said, that if the
Ku Klux, instead of shooting and beat.
ing poor, inoffensive colored people in
York and other Counties, had come
down to the State capital and cleansed
the Augean stables there, by scourging
or even hanging the public robbers, no
honest man could have denied that their
fate was richly deserved. Mr.. Tomlin-
son was interrupted with frequent ap-
plause.
Mr. Sawyer was the last speaker. As
the United States Senator, q man of ac-
knowledged ability, and one supposed to
be posted as to the desires and purposes
of the authorities at Washington, from
which city he arrived only day or two
ago, the people were anxious to hear
from him, and listened to him with much
interest. He made good speech. Ear
nest, thoughtful, direct and very fair,
except when he referred to the reform
movement in the State in 1870. Mr.. Saw
yer said that the Administration at Wash
ington had no choice, certainly had init
mated none to him, as to what particular
men should be placed in nomination in
South Carolina. But the Grant party,
or. as he claims. the Republican party
of the North, and the Administration at
Washington, do most earnestly desire to
see reformation in the gross abuses
which have taken place in this State,
and which form the heaviest burden
which Gen. Grant has to bear in the
Presidential campaign. They had no
orders to give, nor dictation to make;
but he felt authorized TO declare that the
Administration could and would not give
countenance to such a nomination as had
been put forth by that purchased Con-
vention at the lower end of the street.
Mr.. Sawyer said he wes determined to
have reform in the State, and that. too,
through the Republican party alone.

any refugees. They wcro given to men
to influence them to work in their Coun-
ties. and to get delegations in favor Of
J. Moses.
Judge Orr then touched upon the
armed force fund. from which he said,
as published in the PHOENIX, from the
books of the Treasury themselves, Il. J.
Moses, Jr., Ind drawn $1,000 This
has been published from day to day, and
yet no word of exclamation from Moses
nor his friends. Az for him, he had rea-
son to believe that tho money was re-
ceived as bribe i'll tho case Of Scott's
impeachment. He then took compre-
hensive review Of the tremendous extra
vagance and prohigacy of the present
Government, comparing it with that
which preceded it. $4,000, he said,
paid oil the expenses of the Legislature
in 1867. The Treasurer now reports
that the last Legislature cost 5000, 900,
and so on in every other department of
Government. He closed in words OF
strong encouragement and hope for the
success OF an honest ticket.
Whipper was called for, and begged to
be excused until tomorrow, as he was
not prepared to speak just then.
Mr.. Bowen was then called for, and
made telling speech. He claimed that
he hnd commenced the fight against the
faithless officials who have been robbing
the people, and now they had even 40.
knowledged the crimes he had charged.
AS for him and his County. (Charleston,)
the largest in the State, they would have
no hand in the election of the nominee
made yesterday, or any like him.
Charleston, he said, had voted $4,000
against dishonesty in 1870, and would
vote thousands more in October.
Mr.. Jervey, (colored) of Charleston, fol-
lowed Mr.. Bowen. in neat and earnest
speech, claiming that he knew his con-
stituency and their wishes for reform,
and he could not, even if he himself had
q personal inclination that way, support

The hay yard opposite the Mint and
adjoining the railroad track, was yes.
terday about IL o'clock a. m. discov-
cred to be on fire. Scarcely was the
alarm given ere the whole was one
lurid mass of flame. The Curry En-
gine was on the ground lnstantane-
oHsly, and two streams were thrown
on the buildings. In a short time the
Warrens arrived, and after some little
delay got to work. The boys worked
like heroes, or more properly speaking
like salamanders, for they rus he'd into
the flaming vortex like madmen, but
in vain; the wind was blowing a gale,
the sheds were old and dry as finder,
and the hay and other light material
fed the flames. The heat was intense.
but still the brave bows battled, and
though it was Impossible to stay the
flames as to the premises on lire,
other buildings and large quantities
of wood were saved.
The hay yard was the property of
d. G.. Corbett, and was uninsured.
His loss j. at least 50. 900, besides some
fifteen hogs, principally small ones.
The yard was rented by c. c. Ather-
ton, than whom n more eStirnable
gentleman does not live. He lost, in
hay and grain, at least $1,000, besides
the stoppage in his business. The loss
falls very heavily on Mr.. Atherton,
and he has the earnest sympathies of
the entire people.
