The New York journal of Commerce
says: ''rhe new apparatus invented
by George IL. Prescott (the electrician
of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany) and Thomas A. EddisOn, by
which four messages are sent simutta-
neously over II single wire, has been
for several days in successful operation
on the Western Union Telegraph lines
between New York ana Boston, aud
arrangements are making for immetii-
ntely extending its use upon all the
principal routes"

brought forward for running street
cars in cities without the aid of horses,
is aforeign device, in which the motive
power used Is an arrangement of
powerful springs, encased in cylinders
like watch springs, uf course on very
large scale, and the application Of
which to the cars now employed ia
said to be extremely simple and easy.
These springs are wound up by small
terminus of the line, and when so
wound up will propel the cars, even
with stoppages, for q longer distance
than any existing line of this kind
extends. The action IS reversible, the
application of the brake power In every
respect satisfactory, and the working
OF the whole thing is pronounced
success.
The opinion of Judge Bradley, In the
Louisiana cases, is published in the
American Law Register Of 1874, with
u note by Judge RetlReld of Boston,
one of the editors, in which he says:
"There can he no question, In the
mind of any good lawyer, who has
made the limitations between State
and national authority study, that
the grounds upon which Mr.. Justice
Bradley holds the provisions Of the
tn this case, to he unconstitutional and
a usurpation of the field OF exclusive
State legislation, are most unquestion-
able"
Instead of being ut deaths door, "a

inst, he made powerful address on
national politics. He said the issue
before the country Is not the Civil
Rights bill, Radical corruption, or
Grant usurpation. These are minor
issues. The true issue Is the departure
of the party in power from the consti-
tutional government which threatens
the States in the exercises of rights.
The fight is on Centraiism.

From the Mobile Ala Register.
In the November numbers of the Eclectic
and the Land We Lore, 1869, an interest
ing and important correspondence was pub
lished between DIR. Joseph Jones, Secre-
tary of the Historical Society, and Gen.
S. Cooper, northumberland of the
Confederate States. From that source we
CLEAN the following facts for the benefit of
those who are not so fortunate as to have
preserved file of the magazines. Such
facts are startling even to those who partic-
ipated in the Southern struggle:
FGrst-The available force of the Confed-
crate army did not, during the war, exceed
100000 men.
sSecond-The Confederate States never
had in their defense more than 200, 900 men
in the field at one time,
Ihird-From 1861 to 1865 the Confed-
crate forces actively engaged were only
100000.
F0urth-The total number of deaths
during that time were 100000.
Fifth-Losses of prisoners counted as
total losses, on account of the United
States policy of exchange, 100000.
Sirth-The loss of the Confederate
States army by discharge, disability, and
utScItlul, dulOuuteu W lOU,UUU.
lSeventh-At the close OF the war, the
force of the Confederate army was less than
100000.
Eighth-Out of 100000 men, 100000
were lost to the service.
These facts are taken from calculations
made with great care by Dr.Joseph Jones,
submitted to and approved by Gen. 5000
per, Adjutant-G General of the Confederate
army.

late Bishop Hughes for the complete secu
larization of the public schools, and adds
that
During the past quarter of century the
Catholic people of the majority OF the
States of the Union have been repeatedly
called on to express their views directly or
indirectly, on this question at the polls, and
have eger raised the banner OF hostility to
the public school that in the Legislatures
of nv State Catholic votes have aided in
the extension and perfection of the school
laws; that in every large city in the coun-
try pious Catholics have gladly given their
services as members of the boards of trus-
tees that Catholic teachers have in every
State sought and received employment in
the free schools; and that Catholic chill
dren by thousands are now and for many
years have been the glad and uncontamina
ted recipients of their advantages.
He says in conclusion:
Wherever the zeal or piety or opportuni
tY of the Church succeeds in erecting by
the side of the public school Catholic
school of equal or approximate advantages
and the added grace of moral training
let us avail ourselves of it, and thank God
for the privilege; but strike no blow at ;
system to which so many thousands are
and for long period to come must neces
sarily be confined in seeking the intellect
ual elevation of their children. Above all
let us scorn to whine about the petty tai
which we cast into the general lot for tn
support of system which the deliberat,
judgment of our brethren approves will
such signal unanimity.

recent paper on Catholics and the Public

more vigorous and prosperous here than
