A Marvellous Machine.

i1Atkhy yeaES pdiG SE'eclal dtISutiOIi 10 the properties and capabilities of India rubber. He was the first, some twenty years ago, to apply tires of this substance to the wheels of trucks, etc., at railway stations, in order to deaden the sound; and ts him we are also indebted for the more recent dis cOyery that India rubber, when in great mass, fsttens on a road or floor, and, by presenting 8 greater extent of bearing surface, causes any uperincumbentweight to be distributed over Q much larger area. Hence he conceived and carried out the idea of pro- viding the wheels of 9 steam en- zine, to run on common roads, with India rubber tires Of i'm
 nense thickness. In consequence of the soft, elastic property of such tires, the wheel surface may, ac- cording to the condition of the road over which it passes, ''pre- sent the bread, quiet tramp of the foot of the elephant, the gentle step of the feline race, CT the web- footed effect Of the aquatic animal when walking on the morass."
 When the first patent road- steamer was tried, some three years age, it's success was con- Plete, and far exceeded E1r. Themson's expectations. In the beginning of 1870, the War De- pertinent, having heard of some Of its performances, commissioned MT. Anderson to proceed to Edin- burgh to examine it personally, and to report upon it's capabilities for military purposes of various kinds; and 1t is from this report, dated the 8th of April, 1870, and from q second report, dated the 14th of May, 1870, and signed con- jointly by MT. Anderson and HIr. Assistant Controller, that we have obtained most of our in formation regarding this machine.
 The road-steamer has two driv- ing wheels, about five feet in dia- meter, on which almost the whole weight of the engine rests; and a smaller wheel in frGnt, which is for steering purposes, and is 50 completely under control as to an- swer the slightest touch of the hand. Each wheel has a broad iron tire, with narrow flanges, up on which is placed 8 soft, vulcan i2ed India rubber ring, about 1o inches in width and nNe in thick ness, the fiangeS keeping it in

AanAY,, THAT NEEDS DAYLIGHT.

How people will err-especially when they
state what they don't know to be true. Here is
the Philadelphia Day enamored Of the Whipping
system, and instructing the people Of that city
why the best method of punishment for a Grim
inal is to lick him. 1t deliberately tells this
"No professionals from other States or countries
''resort to the Diamond State as a field in which
20 ply their vocation" . ...-...
Now this is a story spread by those who wor-
ship the Post, and it is without truth. There is
no objection to, the Days arguing in favor Of
the Pillory and Lash, If it desires to. Ii doubt
less knows the rascality of its own people better
than we, and il they require, also, well-built
rack, dozen thumb-screws, and gross OF red
hot pincers to keep them in order. probably the
Day, whose editor sees much Of the Criminal
Courts,is the keen-eyed observer to note the
fact. Perhaps Philadelphia rogu,s ought to be
drawn and quartered. $ A few might be burned,
and their ashes distributed.
ALI this, We say, we leave to the Day We
have merely to remark that it knows nothing
about crime in DeiaWare, if this article is fair
sample Of it's information. Its story that pro-
fessiopal criminals do not come hither is mac.
curate-there is no truth in IT, Its Just like the
other little frauds thousand times repeated, that
mo one is ever whipped second time one
licking is enough" The fact is that fair pro-
portion of the offenders who occupy the atten-
tion Of our Courts come from elsewhere, AT
the very moment, (FrdAy,) that the Day was
dawning on Chestnut street with these be-cloud-
ed rays Of information, there were three men on
trial at New Castle for burglary actually com
mitted, and an attempt to 'crack" one Of our
city banks, who were utter strangers among us,
and say they came from Philadelphia On Sat
urday they were convicted, and to-day, they have
been whipped. The character Of our Penal Code
did not deter them from coming, you see.

The Lumber Trade of the Pacific.

The lumber trade Of the northern Pacific shore
is rapidly growing, and western Washington and
Oregon are looking forward to making large ex-
portations of timber; particularly Of Oregon
pine" much valued for shipbuilding. Pngel
Sound basin, in Washington Territory, is covered
by dense forrests, and the lumber can easily bu
cut on tidewater, while there are numberlees
streams flowing into the basin. which give water
power for sawmills. During the six months end
ing lst July last timber was shipped from Puget
Sound for England, the States, South America,
China Australia, India, and Russia; and il is ex-
pected that as soon as shipowners know, that they
can find regular employment for vessels at Puget
Sound the trade will increase vastly.

The Furchnnn Of Yotea.

Senator Bayard, in letter to the Sussex
Journal, warmly condemns the use of money at
elections. He says that "during the whole
course Of my political activity, have steadily
land earnestly inveighed against this most unlaw-
'ful and degrading business, so utterly iemoral-
''izing, and destructive of personal character
land self-respect in our people"
Iaking his own testimony concerning him
self at it's face value, we cannot do less than
commend the very creditable position which SEN
atom Bayard holds. We wish all his party sin
cerey agreed with him, in an inhexible purpose
to discourage bribery. In 1868, the Republicans
ern Delaware declined then and since to take 4
similar step AT the election, that year, many
voters were bribed to support the Democratic
ticket, for trifiing sums of money, or purchases
Of -four clothing, or whisky, the market ruling
low, because there was no competition.
What is needed to check this Infamous traffic
in the virtue Of the people is few prosecutions
and convictions in the Courts. The law is sufi-
cienty stringent, and we will trust our Judiciary
not to spare the proper penalty no matter who
Is caught at the disgraceful business.

The Arizona DiamOnds-Al Vanity and
VexatiOn of Spirit.

We yesterday had a conversation
with j. Moore Williams, the original
diamond hunter, and are we'll satisfied
from his statements that there are no
diamonds in that region worth hunting.
He says there is once in while dia-
mond found in Arizona and New Next
co, and that three very fine but small
ones have been found near Central
City, Col. Mr.. Williams has been in
the Brazilian diamond mines, and is
familiar with the kind of gravel in
which diamonds are found. He saws
that the "wash" in places in Arizona
very much resembles that in Brazil
there being about the same quantity Of
small iron stones in the wash in both
countries. One year last November,
while camped on small stream that
empties into the ella river, Mr.. vii.
liams says he found range of country
which very much resembled what he
has seen in Brazil. Taking some of the
dirt, he carried it to the camp and
PANIED it out, when he found three
stones that so much resembled dia-
monds that he was satisfied that his
fortune was made Knowing of no
other test than that of trying a stone
supposed to be diamond upon a piece
of glass, Mr.. Williams travelled twenty
miles to get piece of glass. The
stones cut the glass as we'll as diamonds
would have done. This satisfied Will.
liams, and he then went after the
stones.
The first diamond shipment was made
by Williams, through the United States
mail, to San Francisco. In all, he sent
fiftytwo stones, twenty in one letter,
and thirty.two in a second. He sent
the supposed diamonds to his brother
in San Francisco, in December, and in
February got word from him that they
had been fully tested by French lap.
idary, who pronounced them not dia.
monds, and stones of little value.
Williams says he is satisfied that any
one who goes to Arizona in search of
diamonds will come back much poorer
than he was when he started out on his
expedition.
Williams says those who wish to find
these pretended diamonds can dig an
abundance of them anywhere from the
summit of the Rocky Mountains, and
from thence to the crossing Of the Rio
Miembus, and as far down as the ella,
wherever there is deposit of gravel
