LIGHTS AND FOG SIGNALS,
EUROPEAN SYSTEMS AND IMPROVEMENTS

Major Elliot Of the United States Corps o
Engineers, was sent sometime ago abroad b,
| our Government, to examine and report upor
! everything which he might observe relative Il
lighthouse apparatus, and the management o.
lighthouse systems in Europe. The Major
has recently made his report, in which he re-
marks:
II will state that willie tn. British and
French systems are necessarily very much
like sn. saw manYsJet;lils Of construc-
ton aud administration which we can adopt
to adv lntage, while there are many in which
We excel Our shore signals particularly are
vastly superior, both in number and pow r.
They are i'll advance Of Us i'll using both the
gas and electric lights, in positions Of special
importance, in the use Of aziinuthal condensine,
prisms for certain localities; in the character
Of their lamps; in the use of fog signals in
light-ships; in their lisht-ships with revolving
lights, and, more than all, in the character OF
their keepers, who are in service during good
behavior until death or approximation, who
are promoted for merit, and whose lives are
insured by the Government for the benefit OF
their families"
Major Elliot mentions the superiority Of
the English and French lighthouse lamps
over our own. While the power of our light
house lamps is fixed Il. e., they give only the
same amount of light in foggy and thick
weather as in fair, il the long twilight Of sum-
mer as in the darkness of the night, the Eng
fish oil lamps are flexible in power, and can
be varied by the keepers to suit the varying
conditions of the atmosphere; that the first
order sea coast lights Of England may be
raised from an equivalent of 3l2 their mini
mum) to 722 candles, while the maximum
power of our tirst-order sea coast light
is uniformly the equivalent of only 21O
candles: that while the English and French
lights have been in recent years increased
in power, the actual consumption Of oil
per unit of light has been decreased by
in the supply Of oxygen to the
fame, and that if the notifications described
in detail should be adopted, we should increase
the Illuminating power Of our lighthouses
more than fifty per cent. which would be Of
benefit to commerce. especially
in thick weather.
The European Governments. after careful
and protracted experiments, are rapidly adopt
ing the use of mineral oil, instead of the veg
atable and ami NAL oils formerly used
Major Elliot calls attenti II to the desirabii-
ity of m, difying a few Of the points Of our
lighthouses on which the safety Of life and
treasure especially depend, for the introduce
ton of the electric and the gas-lights, which
he describes in detail since there are now
many Of these lights in use in Europe, and he
links We should not be behind any nation in
our efforts to lessen the dangers 81 the coast

A WORD TO THE REPUBLICAN,.

The paid apologist OF the u,llrpatlon is dis
tresscd because the BULLETIN does not make
haste to denounce the people of Red River
parish for the killing OF the six men who rep
resented the Kellogg government there and
who, BY their acts Of oppression and plumber
and ny their diabolcal schemes against the
lives of the white people of the parish, had
| placed themselves GU side the pale of the law
and merited the seyerest punisl ment.
| We are not apolo9ists for the manner OF
| their taking off and deplore the killing Of the
wretches after they had been captured, but in
| the light Of the intelligence which comes to
| stills morning from Shreveport, we can readily
understand the fury which possessed the people
Ii may seem terrible that six men should be
taken out and shot, but when We consider that
those six men were known to have concocted
horrible plot to murder, not alone the white
men, but the uWhe ,r)0tea atl children, and
had armed the negroes f)r that purpose, the
shock experienced when We learned Of their
own killing is greatly lessened.
The Republican, wishes Us to denounce the

it that there is now a chance of the men who
shot its sig political friends being hung; but
will the Erp,Nlican join u, in expressing hor-
ror at the iendi,h plot Of it, six friends. Will
even the Repu5iican pretend til t these six
white demons should have been treated ten
derly by the white people whom they had de-
termined to butcher to make Il ,Iic;tl Loli-
day sparing neither a3e nor sex:
Human nature is pretty much the same the
would over, and men in civilized countrie, do
not commit acts OF terrible cruelty without
great provocation Tie murderer Newton
would lave been treated with more severity
in New England than he received in New
Orleans, and it is Of record that
the Southern people are as humane,
as generous as magnanlMous, and as
torbearing as any people under the sun.
They have had more to bear than any people
outside OF Poland or Ireland and when the
history Of the South under Radical dominion
shall be written, tie world viii wonder at the
patience and humility Of our people.

The demand for money with which tc
enable the Spanish Government to prosecute
the war in Cuba is of so pressing nature
and the value of Soanish bank notes 80 ques.
tionable, that Capt. Gen. Concha decreed,
some time since, that import duties should in
future be paid in gold That the transition
from the old method of paying duties in bank
notes might not be too violent a shock to i'm
porting merchants and consumers generally,
he caused sliding scale to be adopted, under
which duties should be payable at first % per
cent in gold, then SO per cent, and finally
the whole amount This last step of the
sliding scale-the enforcement of the pay
ment Of all import duties in gold-was to
come into operation on the first of September.
For tie purpose Of putting goods into Cuba
previous to that day, that is, on payment of
only fifty per cent of the duties in gold the
steamers MORO Castle and City of New York
were dispatched from New York to Havana
in advance OF their respective regular days Of
sailing.
But Gen. Concha, as the New York World
learns by private telegram from Havana, is
equal to the occasion. He has issued sup
Elementary decree in accordance with which
duties are to be paid, not on the day on which
they are entered for consumption at the Gus
tom House, but on that on which thew are
finally cleared from it. And as it will be i'm
possible to have the cargoes of these two
steamers weighed, measured. and the duties
liquidated on the same day as they arrive, the
duties will have to be paid entirely in gold.
This is pretty sharp tnancierins:
