afterward with the others. From what is
known, the barrel prepared for this shameful
work was made strongly by Bremen cooper,

mite, and the other the apparatus for explod-

Progress of the Keely Motor Project.

There was movement LII the Kelly

day of the annual election of directors
by the stockholders, of whom there are
115 on the rolls, having 1000 shares OF
"face value of $50 share, distrib-
uted among them, and held about half
and-half in New York city and in Phila-
delphia. After electing eleven directors
and hearing the reports of the present
condition of the machine the party took
carriages and drove out to Keely's work
shop, where they inspected the new
generator, which was received yesterday
afternoon from l. p. Morris & CO. s. 1t

phor bronze, an Austrian gun-metal, aud

crate $4,000 pounds pressure to the
square inch. The new receiver, a per
feet sphere, thirty inches interior and
forty-two inches exterior diameter,
weighing 1000 pounds, cast in steel at
the Chester Works, and taking four days
to cool and thirteen days to be decar-

Kerosene.

The statistics kept by insurance com
panies show that thirty per cent. Of all
fires originate from the use of kerosene.
Invention has been at work to produce
safety lamps and oil that will not explode,
and yet few are the households where
these articles are In use. One finds
glass lamps everywhere, frequently in
the hands of children and careless SER
wants, and the wonder is that more fires
do not consume property and destroy
human life. There are several safety
lamps that fully deserve that name, and
every one of them is made of metal, glass
being entirely ignored. The price is
somewhat above that of the glass lamp,
and with reason; but those families who
have once felt the pleasantness Of secu-
rity from fire which these safety lamps
afford, will be slow to go back to the
dangers of the ordinary lamp.

TIE CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN
TICKET AND PLATFORM.

Elsewhere We publish the platform ad-
opted and the ticket nominated by the
California Republicans. 1t will be noted
that under the vigorous and courageous
leadership of Hon. George c. Gorham.
the party has taken new departure.
Every Republican on the Pacific Coast
will rejoice that one % prominent and
able as Mr.. Gorham has risen to lead
the party toward such courses as diverge
from the line of the Central Pacific Rail-
way and relieve its shoulders of the bur-
den with which that selfish corporation
has so long over-weighted it. The plat
form is full of life and strength. All
honor to the brave words which prevent
ed Republican Convention from insult
ing President Grant with an expost facto
Third Term resolution. The ticket,
with Phelps at the head. is a very strong
and acceptable one.

GRANT AND THE MICRO.
I claim for General Grant that no man
in public life has done more than he has
to help on this time of decent consisten-
cy between profession and practice.
support the man who made peace in
New Orleans rather than the committee
which traded it away. The fate of the
negro is still tine problem of our politics.
There is no public man whom l should
feel perfectly safe in trusting it with.
Bnt compelled to choose. Ulysses Grant
is. by all odds. my choice for The next
President If the superstition of two
terms shuts him off from the race. l
should witness. with profound anxiety,
the success of any man who opposed the
Force bill.
THE SECOND CHOICE.
If New England were privileged to fur
nish the President, no friend Of the re-
gro race and of n prompt national pacifi-
cation would dream of suggesting any
other name than that Of General B. F.
Butler.
This means James G. Blaine.-ED.
APPEAL
Nothing in this series of declarations
squares with our notions more exactly
than the finishing sentence. II we can't
have Grant-and the Republican party
seems to be scared away from him-we
should rather see Ben Butler in the
White House than any man who has
been named for that place, unless it be
Phil Sheridan.

WENDELL PHILLIPS ON THIRD
TERM QUESTION AND SITUATION
or THE COUNTRY.

TERM QUESTION AND SITUATION
or THE COUNTRY.
The Boston correspondent of the New
York Herald seems to be person largely
.ifted with the art of :" interviewing" to
some purpose, if a most correct trans
cription of the style Of expression and
manuer of thought of the person inter-
viewed be an indication of ability in the
direction indicated. The said CORE
spondent lately called upon Mr.. Wendell
Phillips with view to ascertaining that
distinguished sentleman's opinion re-
garding the Third Term Question and
kindred topics. He reports the result of
his interview as follows; and inasmuch
as We are quite willing to accept the
Great Seer's views as fraught with wis.,
dom and truth, We are equally as willing
to present them to our readers as a we'll
chosen lesson in the larger political
questions of the times:
Mr.. Phillips said:-I like the letter. 1t
does not change my judgment. how
ever. which is that, all things considered,
Grant is eIDphaticaIlv the man for the
next President. l scout all this prattle
about Cancellation. We babble like
children about peace, before We have
secured justice, We e1hort each other to
forgive before the sinner has even pro-
fessed repentance. Foreigners in the
Senate who never knew auSht. but what
is ON the surface. of us or our institu-
tions. may chatter nonsense; gallant
soldiers emigrating south may echo it:
natives in higher Office still may carry
this lollypop from Southern city to city:
careless editors may cry, amen: but the
fact remains that the white South has
never forgiven her conQueror and never
accepted the first idea of the Declaration
Of Independence; the idea which alone
justifies the cost and carnage of five ter
rible years.
THE soUTHERNEE tanned.
The wild Southerner has been tanned;
he will never fight the flag again. The
cunning of the mailman is left. He seeks
to write over the flag its old lie. Calhoun
taught, and every white adult in the
South believes to-day, that this is
white mans government. Though you
von will meyer crush tbis folly ont of
them Heaven forbid that sbonld do
the white race of. the South such foul
wrong as to believe otherwise. respect

Democratic treason in 1876 may save us
again. A republicans treason would be
doubly dangerous. With these views I
demand of Grant that he lead Us again
to victory.
BLAINE AND MORTON.
Blaine and Morton are strong men,
but they cannot carry the nation. II
Grant does not give us the use of his
name, in my opinion, the democrats will
elect their President. That means the
white South victorious. as I was ridicu-
led for anticipating in 1866; it means
civil rights trampled under foot; the
Confederate debt recognized and paid in
part or in full; it means compensation
for the slaves whom the war freed.
Congress will discuss these issues for the
next four years. The North, with sem
sitive pocket, may rally and prevent the
full success Of these schemes. but the
very discussion will carry down our
