RAILRoAD EXTENSIONS. We learn from
Jos. :. Git, Civil Engineer, who made q
visit to this place few day ago, that the ex-
tension Of the Baehman Valley Railroad from
its present terminus at the Chestnut Hill Ore
Banks, is being agitated, and that party of
men interested in the project, have been
looking into matters lately in relation to an
extension. This is just what we desire to see,
and hope that such may be the case. Mr..
Gid also says that an extension westward from
the Hanover Junction, Hanover and Get.
tysburg Railroad is not only being talked of,
but that he viii shortly commence the survey
in that direction, and promises TO furnish us
with the result thereof in the course OF few
weeks The prospects of the growing crops
are hattering, and the crops already housed
in Adams, Cumberland and Franklin counties,
are good and full, and for which more d.
rect outlet 10 market is needed, and the peo-
pie in those localities say that they will have
It. The prospects are Frightening for US in
the hope of additional railroad facilities We
feel encouraged, and as soon as an op2ortn.
nifty offers, let our people aud those along the
line lend a helpin, hand, and when once we
have the road TO our place, an extension to
Washington from Westminster will be sure
thing-making the most direct road from
Washington 10 the North and Northwest.
We have an abundance OF ore, limestone and
produce on the line proposed to be built,
which will add vastly 10 the freight business,
besides We will receive coal and lumber from
the north much cheaper than we now do, as
it win pass over fewer railroads and have less
distance to traverse TO get to market We
have the assurance that coal will be SO cents
per ton less than il is now, and lumber from
IS to $40 per NJ. feet less than at present

From the Ne1c York Tribune.

The best elements in the Democratic
party triumphed in the election Of Mr. Kerr;
and the president showed in his message
a determination to seek third term even
at the cost of exciting in this country a
warfare Of religious creeds Swiftly pub
lie opinion has changed. Democracy has
gained greatly by the election of Mr. Kerr
and Republicanism has lost very much by
the increased apprehension of a third
term. and by public disgust at the at
tempt to use religious convictions as the
mere tools of personal ambition and par
tisanship. There are many thousand Re
publicans who would refuse to vote for that
party to day, though they did not vote for
it last fall They tear Democracy less, land
Grantism much more. There are many
thousand Democrats who were on the
point of breaking from that party duric &
or after the fail campaigns, than whom it
has to-day no more hopeful and jealous
supporters. They fear initiation no longer,
and detest Grant utterly. These changes
Of feeling show how far many voters have
been emancipated from blind servitude to
party, and indicate plainly that any blum,
der may be fatal to either side.

THE CHICAGO WHISKY RING.

The New York iS,a. of the 9th contains
a long letter from Chicago, with the fol-
lowing heads: "GraDtism in perfection.
The gigantic operations Of the Chicago
whisky ring. The St. Louis frauds thrown
into the shade-members Of the family
mplicated-senator and representatives
in the ring-how Republican campaign
money was raised-a prince gobbling q
silver mine,"
The letter proceeds to set forth in detail
the unlawful and political commercial
transactions of large number Of promi
nent Republican officials. 1t says: THE
federal officials at Chicago have since 1869
been appointed at the dictation of the
Ganna ring, the head and front of which
are j. Russell Jones, Grants particular
crony, now collector of customs, and Ben
H. Bampbell, Babcocks father-in-law and
marshal of the northern district of Hi
nois." Among the number is Revenue
Supervisor Dan Mum, who came from
southern Illinois originally, and was the
pet Of Senator John a, Logan. He is
now under indictment for participation 10
the frauds at st. Louis, and but few
days since he was indicted by the United
States grand jury sitting at Springfield
for completely in whiskey frauds in that
district" The late district attorney,
Jasper d, Ward, champion of Grants
Arkansas job in the last congress comes in
for share. 1t says that Charley Far
we'll, who has prima face right to a seat
in the Forty fourth congress from the Third
district of this state, came within two
votes Of being indicted for conspiring to
defraud the government by the manufac-
ture of crooked whsksy. 1t was proven
that he had advised certain distillers to
knock in the heads of whlskey barrels in
order to prevent the government from OBJ
tanning proof of its being illicit. There
was also pretty conclusive evidence
adduced to establish the fact that he was
a silent partner in the distillery of Mes
sereau'
The letter also states that Jacob Rehm
and Charley Reed escaped indictment on
evidence that was still more conclusive
than in the cases!of Mum and Farwell
Rehm was formerly superintendent of
police, and resigned but a short time since
Reed, protege Of Rehm's, is the prose
cutting attorney of Cook county. Rehm is
distiller, but being advised of the coming
raid few days before the memorable 10th
of May last, he built good sized bonfire
in his distillery and consumed all his books
and papers"
The letter also says the district under
the supervision Of Dan Mum included
Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Besides
half dozen members of the house of rep
resentatives who were either directly or in
directly its benefciaries, the ring com-
manded the active support of at least two
United States senators"
These are some of the charges made IL
the letter from Chicago to the SIN, to-
gether with lengthy details Of very damag
ing proof in regard to them. They show
what the country generally believes, viz
That there never was so corrupt an admin
istration on earth as Grants or so corrupt
aparty as the Republican party.

Dynamite,
From the ", \. Herald.

from Hte ", I. HeTdtU.
Dynamite, or giant powder" was in
vented by NJ. Nobel, Swedish chemist
in lS66-.67, 1t consists of nitro. glycerine
absorbed by some porous inert solid. The
best material for ali absorbent is slicious
intusorial earth found in Hanover, Ger
many, and known as klessel guhr. 1t will
absorb and contain about three times its
weight Of nitro glycerine, and has the APP
pearance Of damp Graham -four, This
form prevents the transmission of ordina-
ry sudden shocks, except under pressure
in u confined space. The presence of the
inert mineral constituents serves also to
absorb heat, so that a high temperature
cannot be easily impaired to the whole;
but when impaired this temperature eff
fects great expansion of the gases and
increased effectiveness of explosion. lg-
mated 10 the open air dynamite burns
quietly with nitrous flames. Exploded
usually by means of Illuminating fuse or
cap, it gives carbonic acid, nitrogen and
hydrogen, and leaves a white ash, with
little or no smoke. 1t has been regarded
as the safest of all explosives, not being
affected by prolonged temperature of 100
degrees centigrade, nor is it as dangerous
as nitro glycerine when it solidiies at eight
degrees centigrade, Neither light nor
electricity nor ordinary shocks cause it to
decompose or explode. The principle
dangers connected with its use are those
of the strong Illuminating powders used in
the percussion fuses to explode it, Dyna-
mite, If carelessly made, containing an ex-
cess of nitro gycerine, may, by the latter
overcoming the capillary force of the min
eral particles, collect in dross and settle
from the mass, and become source of Sc
rious accidents, Moreover, it may be that
freezing, or thawing after freezing, has a
tendency to segregate the oil.
Professor Draper, in one of his works
on popular science, has it that Nobel was
led to the experiments from which result
ed dynamite, by the fearful explosions of
nitro glycerine at Aspinwall, San Francis
CO, Sydney and elsewhere years ago.
After reference to the usual means of ex-
ploding, Professor Draper adds that NJ
GuyOt, French chemist, has shown that
the nitro-glycerine may soak out from the
mixture with sand, and, saturating the pa
per of the cartridges and boxes, reassume
the state in which it is readily exploded by
a slight blow.
Dynamite was used for a time at the
government works at He'll Gate, but the
defamation was found to be too great and
it was abandoned. The effect was to start
the seams in the river bed above aud
threaten the flooding of the mine.
The experience in this country Of acct
dental explosions of dynamite are very
rare, and the age of the compound when
nitro-glycerlne will exude from it and in
confined places ignite by spontaneous
combustion is a matter of speculation.
