THE LOUISIANA MATTE X

A meeting of the Louisiana Commit
tee, on Friday evening, developed the
views of the members. Messrs. Hoar,
Frye and Wheelerwho have been max
ing personal investigation in the state,
agree in sustaining the charges of the
infamy and violence of the White
League, and asserting the most mon
strous intimidation. going back sever
al years In recounting the history of
the troubles as seen from the stand
point of men who desire to protect all
classes without regard TO color or race
from lawlessness and bloodshed. Their
report is sustained by a large mass Of
positive testimony upon these points.
The whole subject was discussed with
much patience and good feeling, and
the opinion prevails among the Repub-
lican members that these gentlemen
are right in their conclusions.
The Democratic members refused in
the first place to go and make personal
examination and now decline to ex-
press an opinion until they have had
access to the testimony. In other
words, they hope to escape all respon-
sibility in the matter, and If this proves
to be impossible, they will draw up a
report taking the statements Of few
White Leaguers as a basis, and of course
whitewash everybody Democratic.
The compromise negotiations still
continue, but hopelessly. The Conser-
NATIVES pretend to DO very anxious to
effect such compromise, but are deter
mined TO have the basis of power to
themselves.
That there is a very unhappy state of
things there. VIC cannot doubt. And it
Is to be feared that Senator Conkling
was justified i'm his affirmation that no.
where in modern times can we find
IAN instance of such God-daring and
man-hating malignity," as the true

An engineer has appeared in Con-
stantinople, who proposes to establish
there n mandatory of railroads. His
plan is TO run n road in any direction
and of any length, by shaping and fur
nish,ng materials from his factory for
a very strong fence, with frequent and
substantial posts and supporters, and II
firm joist railing at the top, along which
is fastened a bar of iron. On this the
real friction of the running and driving
wheels is, whilst the carriages and the
engine are in shape much like n couple
of panniers, and the railway on which
they run corresponds to the donkey's
back. To steady the train there are
two side rails, which jut out on cross
bars so as to catch n small wheel run
ming on each side of the carriages. The
inventor claims for ii these advantages:
Rapidly and low cost of construction !;
employment of marketable materials
only, earth works being entirely dis
pensed with capacity of being entirely
constructed at II fixed factory, with
great economy of time and labor, and of
making it instantly transport itself;
low working expenses; portability, it
being easy to remove the whole appara-
tus from II locality TO another. TO a
poor agricultural, thinly-pcoplcd coun-
try, this would seem to be II valuable
invention, and might be tried with ad-
vantage in many sections of our own
country.

S0METHING THAT THREATENS TO
RUIN I'll MATCH TRADE.-A new
and very important invention, the
Chandler light has just been exhibited
at Edinburgh, which seems to threaten
the lucifer trade with extinction. The
apparatus il in outward appearance, a
little tube, three or four inches long,
having at one end a revolving button
which turns a screw, and at the other a
minute angular point of metal, which
also revolves, passing over "A little ORR
ice in the closed head of the tube. A
continuous fuse, formed of a deli
cate strip Of solidified collodion
with a ridge of hardened phosphorus
on n of its sides, is slipped into the
tube, and once in position, can be
moved upwards by the screw. BY the
same action which presses the upper
end of the fuse against the opening at
the top the mental point is turned
against the phosphorus. and u small
portion of the collodion is thereupon
ignited. When the apparatus is amx-
ed to n gas burner, only n very tram
sient flash is needed for the purpose of
ignition, and not moro than q seven
tieth part of the collodion fuse is in
that operation consumed. Where, how
ever, the wick of a lamp has to be lit by
the same means, a large proportion of
the fuse, the thirty-second part, in fact
is burned. The apparatus is either
portable or adapted to the uses indicat-
ed. If lamp goes out, ii can be in
stantly re-lighted by the turn ola screw
instead of by opening the case, remov-
ing the chimney, and striking a lucifer
match where perhaps, large quantities
of straw are lying about. The collodion
fuse is so little liable to DO affected by
damp that it will ignite after having
been immersed in water and its ac-
ton has v been known TO fail. Be-
ing encased in a close fitting chamber
within the tube, it cannot burn beyond
the requisite point where its duty is dis.
charged, and the cotton wick or invisi-
BILE spirit of gas starts into light, and
makes the lighter start.

A REMARKABLE APPLICATION OF TELE.

Cough is symptom by which various diseased
conditions Of the throat, bronchial tubes and lungs
manifest themselves But whether 1t arises from
the irritation produced in the throat and larvnx
by taking cold, from an attack OF bronchitis, from
incipient consumption or from various other
causes, nothing will allay it more speedily or cure
it more permanently than DIR. Pierce's Golden

it be recent attack or a lingering cough, the
Discovery is in ether case equally well adapted
for its relief and permanent cure. In fact, it will
cure a cough in one-half the time necessary to
cure it with any other medicine and it does it,
not by drying ii up, but by removing the cause,
