Power of Congress Over RailmaJr.

A test vote in the House, on t.
power of Congress to regulate COZ
merce between the States, was reacl,
ed February g. It was on a resolutie
introduced by j. A. Smith, Republ
can, from the Sixth District of Ohlv
which reads as follows
The Constitution of the United States d.
clares ii express terms that Congress b.
the power to regulate commerce betwe, o.
the States and with foreign Government
that this provision Of the Constitution in
poses high duties upon Congress, declarip,
it to be within the power of Congress, h.
law, so to regulate commerce among til,
States as to protect that portion of interDai
commerce which is among tie several STATE
from unjust or oppressive tolls, taxes, Of
| structions or other burdens, whether i'm
! posed By railroad companies or by comb
nations thereof, or by other common carriers:
and that the present condition and magni-
tude Of commerce among the States demand
the prompt and wise exercise OF these power.
and duties
The vote On this resolution stood
ITO yeas to 64 nays, and shows thas
the Republicans arrayed themselves
generally in favor Of the resolution
which indicates their sympathy with
the cheap transportation movement
For instance, Of the Illinois members
eleven voted, 9 tor and 2 against, ami
8 of those in favor of the resolution
were Republicans.
Of the Democrats from old Bourbon
Kentucky not one voted for the reso-
luton. They we're as firmly opposed
to it as they would have been fourteen
years ago to a resolution declaring the
right of Congress to protect colored
men from unjust and oppressive" laws.
But of the nine Republican members
from Iowa, not one voted against the
resolution. 4-t. 1...

The New York Flying Machine.

| A correspondent of the Albany ar
gus writes from Auburn, N. Y:
The love for the marvellous and
wonderful, associated with the inquisi-
tive element SO predominant in the
minds and chara cters Of mankind, finds
for itself an item of no common inter-
est in the construction of "fying
machine" now taking place in one of
our pleasant parks.
will not therefore, preface my COM
munication with a history af @ronautic
trials and triumphs, but endeavor to
give you brief, detailed description
of our rare avis. The motive power
of this mechanism (the invention of
Mr.. HunD is steam, utilized and made
available by one Of Silsby's small ro-
tary engines. The power is by means
Of bevel gearing communicated direct.
ly to upright shafts, which revolve in
opposite directions. To the outer shaft.
which is of hollow construction, is at
tached set of wings, four in number,
and Of the following dimensions
Width at inner end, next to shaft, 9
feet ; with at outer end, 6 feet length
L feet, thus giving an average of
about 100 square feet to each propell-
ing blade or wing, or from 400 to 500
square feet of propell!ng surface. I
use the term 'propelling surface" ad-
visedly, for each wing is SO DETECTED
as to remind one forcibly as a tugs
propeller. To the second shaft: which
is placed inside the outer one, is an
other set of wings precisely like those
already described. These .wo sets of
wings, revolving in opposite directions,
so as to overcome any rotary tendency
of the whole mechanism, are supposed
to screw or bore themselves into the
surrounding atmosphere with velo-
city of about $50 revolutions per min
ute, and consequently lift the apparatus
with it's water tank, boiler, engine and
conductor, into the ethereal space
For the purpose of guiding the fabric
through the air, the conductor can at
pleasure set in motion a set of wings
placed at right angles to those already
described, and working in the same
manner, through gearing CONNECTED
with the motive power. The course

thus imperfectly and briefly endeavor-
ed to convey an idea of what our fly
ing machine is like, and should the as
cension, which is to take place at no
distant day, prove success, or even
partially so, you will hear from me
again The flying machine, when in
the air, will be as great a novelty as
Fulton's steamboat on the Hudson
river. It presents now something OF
the appearance Of turret tower to a
monitor carrying above it a mast of a
vessel with spars attached and swing
ing around it, with a balloon basket
suspended underneath. IF Barnum
could get lease of it there would be
assured success of the undertaking.

Coal at JanesyiIle Humbug.

JANEsWLLE, Wiz, February 10.
There has recently been a big sen.
sation in tlis region over the report
of a Mr.. Finch and others that they
had, whilesinking well on their
lands, discovered a mine of good hard
coal, equalin quality to the Lachawan
na coal of Pennsylvania. The locali-
ty af this alleged discovery is some two
miles from Alton, and about six miles
from this city. The report of the dis
covery spnad like the wind, and al
though some were suspicious, yet the
many were disposed to believe it.
Finally, the ''parsies in interest," went
to Chicago, and with their plausible
representations and the display of speci-
mems Of Che hard coal, induced Mr.
Robert Law your we'll knovn goldman,
to engage a professional eeologist to
come on and look into TIE matter.
Great was the excitement at Alton,
Janesville, Beloit, Manitowoe and 9th
er towns when this was learned, and
crowds came out to see the wonder
The Chicago ooal-kipg and tae geolo-
gist arrived, went to work with the men
in charge of the drilling shift, and
kept on working all day Hard coal
was pumped out Of the shaft, first in
dust, then in small pieces, and finally
in big lumps-and bis Jumps is what
spoiled the game. The Jumps were
too big for drill to poduce and the
more the coal king AMI the geologist
who had been very ilcredulous from
the start, "smelled arund," the more
apparent became the odor of seU
Finally, satisfied that i was one of the
biggest confidence games, they pulled
their hats over their eyes, and quietly
left for home, And thus ended the
first lesson. Subsequent lessons may
be developed hereatte.
Every geologist other scientist
who knows anything about the struc
tural formation of his part of the
country, is aware Of he fact that there
is as much chance Of finding the origi-
nal Garden of Eden as coal mine in
Southern Wisconsin.

Catholic Temperance Union.

Apropose of the ladies crusade
against the saloons, we are reminded
of the power and success of the tenn
perance movement under the auspices
of the Catholic Church. An idea Of
what has been quietly and unobtrusive-
ly achieved in this direction may be
formed from the fact that it maintains
255 total abstinence societies. with a
membership of over $1,000, represent
ing all North America. We certainly
must give our Catholic fellow citizens
credit, not only for their religious de-
yotior but the amount of good they
are doing through the agency OF or
CARNATIONS as various as the exigencies
that give them birth. Since so much
of what is accomplished in these ways
is done on the principle Of not letting
one hand know the deeds of the other
it often escapes public observation.
We also notice that the Catholic Total
Abstinence Union, which held short
time ago it's third annurl,session in New
York, has passed resolutions for a grand
celebration and parade in 1876 in hon
of the centennial Of American lnde-
pendence and for the further commem-
oration of the day by the erection IN
Fairlnount Park of a costly fountain
from which the water is to flow for the
first time on the hundreth anniversary

The Siamese Twins.
A Philadelphia dispatch of Februar,

A Philadelphia dispatch of ebruary
10th, says -1
A full meeting Of the College OF
Physicians and Surgeons was held at
their hall, Thirteenth and Locust
streets, about 10 o'clock last night, to
make arrangements for the autopsy Of
the Siamese Twins. The bodies we're
reported to be in a good state of pre-
servation, having been injected with
chloride of zinc. A statement was
made by DR.. Pancost respecting his
trip to North Carolina, and vote OF
thanks was rendered to him and the
physicians who accompanied him for
the satisfactory results of their trip
It was stated that $3.50 had been ap-
propriated to pay the expenses of the
trip, and 800 additional were appro-
priated to pay the personal expenses of
the Commission on their late joarneG
The subject Of the autopsy was referred
to committee from Mutter Museum,
consisting of Drs. John Rodman Paine.
William Hunt, and S. Weir Mitchell,
in connection with Drs. Allen aud
Pancost.
DR.. Hollingswortb, of Mount Airy,
physician of the twins, read a letter
from the legal adviser of the family.
The document laid great stress upon
the agreement which Pancost and his
colleagues entered into not to dissect
the bodies or cut the connecting band
in front, but in the back, so as not to
mar the perfect formation of the liga-
ment, as such would interfere with the
public exhibition of the bodies, which
the relatives propose making, after the
autopsy has been held. The letter al
so instructs the College that the ut
most precaution must be taken to pre-
serve the bodies by embalming, else
DR.. Pancoast and his colleagues forfeit
100000.
The College, on motion, agreed 70
accept the responsibility Inc only
persons present at the final examlna- i
tion Will be medical men, some OF the
most eminent of whom have been in
vited from all parts Of the country ana
from England. The collins were open
ed, to-day, in the presence OF the above
named Committee, and it was deter
mined to Immediately re-embalm the
bodies.

SCARLET FEVER EPIDEMIc.-EA1

SCARLET FEVER EpIDEMIc.-EAU
CLAIRE, Feb. 13.-For some time a
low form of scarlet fever has been
found about this place, but was not
considered particularly dangerous. La
the last three or four weeks it has
taken more malignant form, and ap-
peared in parts of the county as sort
of endemic. At Augusta, and in the
country Immediately surrounding, there
have been thirty deaths from it, and
in the town of Lincoln, up to yesterday
something over forty deaths were re-
ported. Physicians differ IN regard to
the disease, but it is conceded to be a
form Of scarlet fever complicated with
malig nan Sare ,rnat much rese

West Vir.inia Case.

The journals otWest Virginia come
to US about these lines very much in
the fashion Of newspapers In the midst
of a heated political campaign, or,
rather, just after the conclusion OF
such campaign, nth the usual tre-
mendous Republican victory on one
hand and Democstic defeat on the
other. Birds of freedom, perpendicu-
lar "roosters,' othc illustrations, and
no end of astonishing head lines char
acterize these Wet Virginia newspa-
pers. All this is because of the decis
Ion Of the nationa Iouse of Represen-
tatives, seating NJ. John j. Davis and
Mr.. j. NJ. Hagans as Representatives
from the First ard Second Districts
respectively, after remarkable con-
test in the State nd then in the house.
The West Virgiians are fairly entitl
ed to be jubilant 1t is seldom indeed
that the majority report Of commit
tee is beaten, as vas the report in this
case. And this singular fact is con-
fessedly due to the ability, tact, cour-
age, and courtesy With which the Hon.
Gerry W. Hazelon, Of the Capital
District of our ,eighboring State Of
Wisconsin, managed the minority re-
portion tie foorof the House. The
praise which the West Virginia and
other Journals give this able Represen-
tative from the Northwest is wholly
deserved Chicago Mtsr Ocean.

Of Jules Michelet, the eminent French
