The Kee,y Motor.
A correspondent of the New York
World, who states that Mr.. Keely, the
Philadelphia l-otor man. formerly lived
IN Minnesota, writes to that paper: !
A company with 100000 stock paid
up has been formed, none Of whose stock
has been thrown on the marker; and tits
| alleged that Mr.. Keely, who is entitled to
$50, 200, has not appropriated dollar to
his personal use, prefe,ring to wait until
the results of his discovery are secured.
The ground for some Of the charges
against his good faith is that he has not
yet applied for patent. He says he has
not applied for patent simply because
he has not been able to get machinery of
sufficient tenacity to enable him to prove
the whole power of his motor. He has
tested only few tenths of it's power, so
far. When the new machinery is com.
pleted he will complete the test and then
at once apply for patent.
A card from Mr.. Kee'y is also pub.
lished, which as follows:

Jeff Davis.
jeff. Davis, the ex-Confederate Presi-
! dent, delivered the agricultural address
at De Soto, Mo-, on the Sth, according to
programme. A large crowd was present
from Jefferson and adjoining counties,
and quite number of the most promi-
ne1,t citizens of all political sentiments.
Mr.. Davis was we'll received, but there
was no notable demonstration on the &C.
casion. He opened his speech by ex.
pressing much pleasure at meeting the
people of a section of the country with
which he was well acquainted many years
ago, and felt rejoiccd at their growth and
| prosperity. He came, he said. not to
| discuss those questions which vex minds
and disturb the harmony which prevails
among the people. If there are any who
still entertain feelings of malice, or cher
sh bitterness on account of the past, let
us withdraw fram such.
! He declared that whatever might be
the Vaccinations of politicians, whatever
views of policy and designs of State craft
they might desre to consummate in the
future, the people of the great Mississippi
Valley are one, and must always remain
one people in interest, in destiny. and in
social forms and material progress. No
man, no course Of policy. no deep designs
OF ambitious men, could ever dissever
them. In all the future they would sure
" stand together. The great river bound
them together by ties stronger than any
that politics could ever disrupt, and from
the source to the mouth the people who
dwell III the valley must be united.
He then spoke at considerable length
lpon the vast agricultural res ,urces Of
the country, and the future development
Of the commerce of the Mississippi Va
ley and its great advantages and
Importance to the nation, and
predicted the time would soon
come when fleets of iron barges would
Heat down the mighty Mississippi, bearing
commerce greater than the whole worlds
little while ago: and. in view of the
possibilities Of this great valley, he advo-
Gated the building Of university which
would serve to confer the highest educa-
lion upon the young men of the valley.
The great population which must soon
swarm III this rich region will lead or be
lei. according to the status which they
may maintain in mental culture.
Mr.. Davis also urged the necessity of
direct trade with Europe, and asserted
that specie resumption was impracticable
until our exports exceeded our imports.
tie declared that Congress had no author
'ty to declare that payments should be re-
>"med at certain date, and that in the
