HoN. ALEXANDER II. STEPHENS HEARD

editorial in the Atlanta Sun, pitches into
August Belmont and his democratic
coaiiutors for what he styles trying to
'hitrh the the democratic car to the
radical engine at Cincinnati 10y work
mo up Charles Francis Adams as 4
candidate to the presidency, and COM
mcnts in characteristic vein against
the policy Of giving upthe "Jetfersonian
platform, or OF democrats voting for
any other than democratic candidates.
He trusts they will not, for a moment,
entertain the idea OF choosing between
General Grant and Mr.. Greeley. 1t is
true, he says that Greeley went bail for
Mr. Davis, bat Grant prevented the al
rest of General Lee Besides, he adds,
if Greeley has ever raised his voice
against either of the enforcement acts,
even the infamous Ku-klux act, he is
not aware of it. He does not suggest,
however, any practical way out OF tnbu-
lation for his brethren of the South.

A letter from Washington says that
a caucus of the radical republicans was
held in the marble room Of the Senate
chamber to discuss the course TO be
pursued towards the republicans who
had Joined the Cincinnati movement.
Cone or two Senators like Chandler and
Edmunds favored warto-the-knlte
policy, and denounced them as traitors
to the republican parry. Other Sena-
tors including Mr. Wilson, favored a
peace policy tor the present, with the
future hope that the democrats would
nominate a straight ticket, and that the
liberal republicans would therupon all
return to the fold. 1t was intImated
that the President held that view, and
50 far as this conference could bind any,
body, it was agreed to pursue lenient
course. \ proposition that Grant should
withdraw, and let the republicans unite,
was seriously discussed.

His captain hcsitatcd, and Rose, with
his division of the company, moved
around and took the lead. His supe.

the result, in which both antagonists
were wounded, and for fighting this
duel the secretary Of war struck the
names Of both officers from the rolls.
In his old age Gen. Rose came to pow

The gallantry Of the American sea-
men who saved the city of Marscillcs.
together with thousand ships, recent
Iy. is enthusiastically commended by all
the European papers. While the squad
ron was lying at anchor in the dcnsely
crowded harbOr, an explosion occurred
on board an Italian petroleum vessel,
setting fire at once to the ship and her
dangerous cargo. There seemed no
possibility of preventing the spread of
the flames to the merchantmen, and
such an event would certainly have
resulted i'm the destruction of the city.
which is built denscly to the waters
edge, and has very inadequate firc-ex-
tinguishing apparatus. While every
body else stood paralyzcd the scamen
of the American squadron put Off in
their launches, boarded the burning
vessel, scuttlcd her until her cargo was
under water, and then by a united cf-
fort in their open boats lowed her out
into the bay, where the burning could
not cndangcr any other craft. Their
GOODNESS and daring was greeted by
prolonged cheers from the harbor and
the shore, and Marscillcs is loud i'm the
praises of the men who, at the risk of
their lives, saved at once a city and
fleet of merchantmen.

A most ingenious piece of mechan-
ism has recently been exhibited in Lon
don, consisting of a set of looms for
the more perfect production of those
rich and elegant fabrics known as AK
Minister chenilles. These looms are
three in number, the first being the
welt loom, in which the many-colorcd
welt is produced in broad strips. As
each length is completed, it is taken to
the second or cutting loom, where it is
passed under rapidly-revolving cylin-
der, the surface of which is studded
with rows of spoon-shaped blades. As
the piece of welt is drawn under this
cylinder the knives cut ii into narrow
strips. which are wound upon kind
of shuttle about thirty inches long.
This is then transferred to the setting
loom, which is hand machine. and
where the operator converts it into
products of elegant design. The pro-
cess of manufacture in this case is slow.
as compared with that carried on by
means of power looms for carpets and
lighter fabrics; but the results are sta
ted to be very beautiful-but the vel
vet-like pile Of the chenille and the
blending ofvivid colors combining to
produce rich and pleasing effect.
