ways in which congressman have disposed
and continue to dispose Of their Ave thous-
and dollar back salary. The universal
condemnation which the measure has met
at the hands Of the press and people la,
no:doubt compelled many members to usC
ths money othor than was the Original
Intention OF the men who introduced snc
voted for the bill. Some members have
refused it absolutely; some have bought
United States bonds and destroyed them,
thus placing the money beyond redemp-
tion In the United States treasury some
have drawn it and expended it
for Charitable purposes, and in
Ole instance, perhaps more, it has been
distributed to the Treasures of the coun-
ties composing the congressional district

uistion. That il has proved an elephant
In the hands Of many representatives is
certain. Those who voted continually
sgsinst the bill and have refused 10 claim

no doubt enjoy a serenity Of conscience and
ease OF mind TO which their more greedy
fellow members are strangers. To these,
the back salary is like Dead sea fruit,

ALAS and alack' The supreme court OF
the state Of Illinois has decided in the
case Of Mrs. Myrs Bradwell, that it does
not think the Fourteenth amendment
gives to women the right to practice law,
and Judge Brady of the supreme court,
In an elaborate opinion, proved that all
natural and divine laws, 60 to show that
1t was never intended that woman should
practice law but that-oh the tyrsrt,
man l-womsns sphere Is her home, and
shs violates all law by trying to assume
the vacations Of men, and forcing herself
into public life. And thus the devoted
woman suffrsgis.s suffer another back-se'
To say it is sad ia to be too mild. 1t is el
ru;iating inielicity.

The retirement of Secretary Bout
well from the Cabinet is no longer o
question of doubt. He has decided,
against the wishes of the President

become candidate for Uaitcd States
Senator from Massachusetts,. Gov.
Boutwell, has prepared his letter of
resignation, to take effect on the 18th
of February, though he has not yet
sent,it to the President. After that,
he will. proceed to Massachusetts.
Secretary Boutwell's intention to
withdraw from the Cabinet was made
known to the President some time
ago, and the President, it is under
stood, has already fixed upon Judge

as Gov: BoutwelPs Successor. 1t is
understood that in doing so, he has
followed the recommendation Of the
retiring Secretary, whose opinion OF
Judge ]Richarlsou's abilities is Of the

JOHN ALEXANDERS
-Congaree Iron Works, Columbia, s. G.
DESCRIPTION OF TEN HORSE POWER
PORTABLE ENGINE

1t is double-cylnder engine, with
both cylinders cast in one piece, and
valve chests between them. Acces:
is had to the valve by means of a lid
s.,on the top CT the chest. The cylin
ders are jacketed; thus allowing the
exhausted steam to pass around the
scylenders, keeping them always
warm. The principal features Of
novelty in the construction Of the
two cylinders cast in one, and the
double crank shaft, is, that the one
ocrank beats the other onc-quart.r
80 that when one crank is passing the
dead centre, the other is getting full
steam; thus avoiding the rocking
motion usually connected with the
piston engine. The valves are worked
with separate eccentric rods and
rocking arms, SO that if you should
want only half the power, (say five
horse you have only to throw out
the one eccentric rod thus giving the
engine an advantage over all other
portable engines, in saving Of fuel,
where the full power Of the engine is
not wanted.
AT q slight additional cost, this
engine can be adapted to propelling
itself along the road, and hauling
freight in cities. 1t is the intention
ces'':he inventor John Alexander, to
build one for that purpose, construct
cd on the same principle. The fol-
lowing are the principle dimensions:
cylinders Eve inches in diameter
each, and twelve inches stroke steam
crank two and one-fourth inches
diameter; two fly wheels, four feet
diameter, and six and half inches
wide.
It would be difficult to speak in too
high terms Of the workmanship Of
this engine. An excellent design has
been carved out in the best possible
manner, and we confess we have no
small difficulty in imagining porta-
BILE engine more likely to do good
service for many years without re-
pairs. Such an engine must add to
the reputation Of any maker, and it,
will consolidate and strengthen that
already earned by John Alexander,
Proprietor OF the Congarce Works,
Columbia, South Caroliua. If
