One of the most excellent
papers of the country is the
scientific American"
But we fear that IFS direc-
tons in scientific matters can
not always be relied on. The
following is its rule for getting
the horse power of steam en-
gines, and which we think is
surely incorrect: " Multiply
together the area of the piston
in inches. the mean boiler
pressure in pounds, the length
Of the stroke in feet and the
number Of strokes per minute:
divide by $4,000 and you have
the horse power of your en-
CINE"
Suppose an engine were run,
ming a circular saw with a pow,
er OF say ten horses, would il
make as many strokes pei
minute while the saw was cut
ting through a log eighteen
inches in diamater as through
one six inches In diameter
Experience proves that j
would not. Therefore, unles
the resistance be known, th
length and number of stroke
would be useless in forming
rule. The rule, IL correct, Gel
tainly needs some further e,
PLANTATION.
We have seen this rule lai
down, which experience is sal
to verify, and which look
more reasonable: "If the boi
er is carrying one hundre
pounds of steam to the squal
inch, then for every five squal
inches on one face of your pi
ton you have a horse power
With less pressure, the hori
power would be proportional
ly less, and vice versa.

for the purpose of electing del
egates to the 9th of August
convention; at New Orleans,
was an unusually large and en-
thusiastic one. The most per-
feet harmony of council and
unity of sentiment prevailed,
and attested the deep interest |
which our people feel in the F.!
grave and momentous issues
presented to them in the APP
preaching canvass. 1t was a
part and parcel of that great
tidal wave which is sweeping
the country without ripple
upon its surface. Inspired by
that graudest, that sublimest
example of patriotism given 10
the world. by the Baltimore
Convention, our people are com
ing forward in one solid mass
TO lay their prejndices, their
preferences, their party pride

resolutions, the assembly was
addressed in their advocacy by
j. r. Griffin and J. A. Snider,
Esqrs.. Each made a happy
effort. Mr.. Griffin's served well
to arouse enthusiasm in favor
Of the policy we have all now
entered on, and Mr.. Snider's
served to show that there could
be no dishonor in Democrats
again attempting to unite all
the anti-Grant elements.
The meeting lasted three
hours and a half, and was re
markably orderly.
A resolution recommending
J. A. Snider as candidate for
Congress was passed, when
Mr.. Snider stated that he high
" appreciated the honor con-
ferred, but that he wanted it

by 10 means desired his name

BASIL DUKE FOR GREELEY.

Ex Confederate General Basil Duke,
Of Kentucky, is out for Greeley: He
says:
I believe that nothing more is assured
in human affairs that the Democratic par
ty honestly desires and intends to cease
struggling for everything that is dead or
impossible, to accept everything that is
inevitable. or the rejection Of which will
reopen agitation and strife, and to earnest
" strive for everything that will eetab-
lish the peace and confirm the confidence
of the country. At the same time it will
never cease its efforts to prevent an un-
due and dangerous aggregation or cen
tralization of powers in the hands of in
dividuals, who may forget that they are
the servents of the people when they be-
come arbitrary rulers over Statcs-it will
continue its close scrutiny into the official
acts of of pubhc men, its strict construc-
ton of constitutional provisions and the
laws enacted there under, and the eternal
vigilaD e"with which.it has ever guard
ed the libertiessof the land. Such, SO
far as I have had means of judging, are
certainly the sentiments of Democrats in
all parts of the country. That the Dem
ocrats of the South are sincere in all that
they say or do in relation to this move
ment, no rational and well-informed man
can for moment doubt. Not only
is Greeley's election necessity to their
deliverance from the intolerable condi-
tion to which grants rule has reduced
them, but strict adherence to his first
emphatic dictum, that "all the political
rights and franchises which have been
acquired through our late bloody convul-
sions must and shall be guaranteed
maintained, enjoyed and respected ever
more" is absolutely and indispensably
necessary to the conservation of the pol
itical blessings which his elsction will
bring them, and they know it.
