MARTIAL LAW suBvERsIvE OF CIVIL LIBERTY.
"Of this proposition the Supreme Court says"
said Mr.. Beck, III true republican government Is
failure and there is an end OF liberty regulat ted
by law, martial law established on such basis
destroys every guarantee OF the constitution and
enectualy renders the military independent OF
ana superior to the civil power, the at
tempt to do which by the King OF Great
Britain was deemed by our fathers such
an offence that they assigned II to the world as
one of the causes which impelled them to declare
their independence. Civil liberty and this KIND OF
martial law cannot endure together. and In the
conflict one the other must perish" These I'M
pressive words OF the Supreme Court were listened
TO with interest.
A FErNr TO GAIN TINE.
Mr.. Hale, OF Maine. later introduced q resolution
proposing o new election In Louisiana, and Mr..
willard, OF vermont. demanded its refer
ence to the Judiciary Committee because he
was not willing without consideration TO say that
Congress could order State election whenever
1t saw proper to do 80. Mr.. Hale's proposition is
probably made to gain time and to enable the
question to be fully considered.
EXPECTED RETURN OF THE NEW ORLEANS CON-
AITrEE.
The House Committee will be here on FRI
day or Saturday from New Orleans, and
on their report some action may be taken.
Meantime there is continued dissatisfaction
among the republicans. They cannot defend the
President and they do not want to break with
him. They talk in private very freely, but IN pub
lie they are silent. Some OF them would like to
ask by what authority the President acted in the
late events in New Orleans; some would like to
threaten him with impeachment II be does not at
once recall Sheridan many speak OF the gross i'm
propriety Of sending to New Orleans or to the
South oficer OF so little political experience or
calm judgment as Sheridan, and it is said that
'the President knows better than any one the
tools to choose Tor the work he wants DONE" II
he meant Cancellation and moderation he would
have sent Sherman or some other judci0us oflicer.
OUR MODERN CROMWELL.
''when we read as boys oil Cromwell dissolvlng
the Parliament ana driving the members out OF
the hail, we did not dream of seeing something
very like 1t done in our own country" was re-
mark MADE by very jealous republican; and the
answer was, III you are not careful Sheridan will

FEELING OF THE SECRETARY OF WAR.
Meantime you cannot here find more cheerful
being than the Secretary Of War. He. at least,
feels certain that everything is lovely, and that
sheridan Is the right man III the rlgnt place. AS
he walked through the Capitol his lace beamed
with satisfaction, and he evidently thinks the
country 10 safe. There are good many here VINO
think otherwise.

What is the Best Lightning Rod?

A commission appointed by the French
government to consider this subject, con-
cludes that square iron rods flfty-nine hun
dredths of an inch square, and several hun
dred feet in length, are perfectly compe-
tent to convey lightning discharges of the
usual nature to the ground; and that cop
per conductors of the same section are still
better than iron, on account of the supe-
rior conducting power. A copper rod
through which is discharged
large battery of Leyden jars, which ara
charged to their utmost capacity, can be
held, in the hand while the discharge leaps
to it and then passes through it to the
ground The body in this case is poor
conductor compared with the rod, and re-
mains unaffected, like the building which
is thoroughly protected by lightning rod.
Having decided upon our rod, questions
arise as to its insulation. To speak in
general terms, the better the insulation the
better the protection. Glass insulators of
any form are sufficient. Even the wood of
the house itself is sometimes used; but
this insulation cannot be depended on. The
point most often overlooked is a proper
connection with the various bell ropes and
metallic pipes which run through our build
ings, and with other metallic masses. The
| lightning fash descending the lightning rod
often chooses to leap to some neighboring
metallic pipe or wire, through intervening
partitions of wood or stone, before it seeks
the ground.
Surprising that our lightning conductor
is of sufficient section, and is connected
with all outlying metallic masses of large
extent, how many projecting rods should
we have, and how high should they rise
above the highest point of the buildingY 1t

Weatherhead Hollow in Guilford, on We'd
ncsday forenoon Of last week. Mr.. and
Mrs. Potter of Leyden, Mass, stopped at
the watering trough to give their horse
some water, and lad who was riding with
them got out and took the bits from the
horses mouth. Upon this the horse started
10 run and Mr.. Potter jumped out to catch
him but failed to do so. The animal ran
at high speed, and when young man
near by tried to stop him, he turned sud
denly up to q neighboring house, throwing
Mrs. Potter out violently against tree, in.
fiicting injuries from which she died on the
following morning. -BratfleJoro Pheonir
