BY all means ''let us have peace. .
Let us poor, misguided, Union-loying
Wretches concilliate our much-abused
Southern brethren. Let US elect only
ex-Conf5derate army officers to Con
gross that they may again concoc5
schemes Of treason within the very
shadow Of the Capitol. In further
ance Of this policy, let us render thanks
to the voters Of the Ninth District of
George, who have just elected to
Congress General Ben. Hill, to fill a
vacancy caused by the death of the
former member. Let US be glad that
they have chosen as a representative a
man who, for the past two years has
made more disunion speeches than any
other in his district OF i'll the whole
South; a man whose only claims to pre-
ferment were his ultra secession senti-
mentS and his untailing abuse of Alex
ander III. Stephens for advising South
erners to conciliate the North and ac-
capt the results Of the war. It looks
q little as though the Democratic party
was gathering rather too abundant a

One Of the ablest sermons that has
been preached in Berlin for some time
was that given by Rev. R. NJ. v ebster,
at Union Church, last Sabbath morn
ing, on Christianity. He took up the
statements, concerning Christianity,
made by Jamison two weeks before,
and showed that they were not true,
and that therefore the conclusion that
Spiritualism was superior to Christian
ity was Berlin C2uant.

From the Scientific Americana
The Kee1y Motor Deception.

Most of the newspapers in Philadel
phia, the home of the pretended New
Mo tor, have refrained from any con-
demnation of the Deception. The
Public Record is, however, a notable
exception. The proprietors of that
journal, which by the way is one of
the most widely circulated dailies in
the country, have put themselves to
considerable trouble in collecting in
formation, which has been presented
to their readers in series of able and
exhaustive editorials The effect of
til ese articles is to place the grossness
of the Deception.in such strong light
that it's aiders and abettors will, to
say the least, be rendered uncomforta-
BILE. These people confess to having
obtained large amounts of money,
paid by credulous persons who were
made to believe the verify of the thing.
The principals are doubtless liable to
indictment and trial for obtaining
money under false pretences, and it
will not be very surprising if some of
the victims move in the matter befor e
long.
It appears from the researches of
the Reccod that the attempts to pro-
cure patents on the Keely motor have
failed. In all doubtful cases, the Pat
ent Office has the right to require the
applicant to produce working model
or machine; and this was required oi
Keely, but he could not bring for ward
the model, and had to abandon his
case. But this did not prevent exten-
sive commercial dealings by the Kee
ly people. The Record states that thu
Patent Office books exhibit "no fewer
than thirty -four documents relating tC
the transfer of interests in the follow
ing named inventions: Independent
fly Wheel" hydra pneumatic pulsat
f ing vacuo engine" "globe motor,
"dissipating engine, multiplication, o
generator" automatic water lift p

Pugh VS.. BIoss.

We see by the Clermont Sun that
"the inimitable, incompatible, immor-
tai Bloss, of the Cincinnati Enquirer"
was at the Clermont County Democrat
ic Convention, and read lot of reso-
lutions, among which we find the fol-
lowing:
ReSOlUed, That the contraction of
the currency in ten years from twen-
ty-two hundred millions to less than
seven millions of dollars has produc-
ed shrinkage, ETC."
In reply to this resolution of Bloss'
we quote what ex-senator George E.
Pugh says on this very question. Hear
this old Democrat:
"These gentlemen, when they esti
mate the currency of the country at
that time, chose to count the three per
cent. certificates, the compound inter.
est notes and the seven-thirty bonds,
and divers other such forms of obli-
CATION carrying interest, as a part OF
the currency, aohereaS not one Of them
eUeT entered into the currency Of the
country at aU."
Here Is a question of veracity be-
tween these distinguished Democrats,
and our remembrance is that the eX-
Senator is right, and our friend BlOss
wrong.-TWilmington Republican.

The Ohio Vote.

If a full Republican vote can be
brought out in the Ohio election, the
State ought to go for Hayes by at
least 10000 majority. These may be
regarded as sanguine figures, but full
vote would prove them truthful ones.
"Only one vote, it will never be miss
ed" has been a conclusion that has
cost the Republican party some severe
defeats. There are, in the State of
Ohio, over two thousand post offices.
Five citizens failing to vote in each
post Office district would make an ag-
gregate Of ten thousand in the State.
The only safe plan to bring out full
vote, is, for every voter to feel that
his vote is the one needed to secure a
victory. Prompted by this feeling,
every man will be represented at the
polls, and the full vote of the party
will be secured. Governor Allen is
Governor of Ohie to-day, because Re-
publicans throughout the State
thought their votes would not be miss
ed. Had the full vote of the party
been cast he would have been defeated
by over 10000 majority, and this,
without counting those votes cast for
the liberal ticket. Every vote must be
brought out. Local organizations
should keep this in view. A thorough
canvass should be made in each town
the party vote determined, and every
Republican vote should be brought tc
the polls. The eyes of the nation are
upon Ohio Republicans Let us hope
that they will do their full duty in th,
October election.-TR Republic.

Accordipg to the reports in the Az

According to the reports in the Ag-
ri&ultural Departme ent at Washington
the condition of the wheat for the
whole country is 90 per cent. of a full
crop. This would not be supposed,
we presume, by those who have lost
from one third to all their entire crop,
by rains in this vicinity. The oat crop
Of the country is unusually large; bar
lev nearly an average; potatoes doing
well-s big crop in prospect; tobacco,
20 per cent. above the average !-larg-
est in the best tobacco States. The

over the yield of former years. SO,
