| The new motor, which has been alluded TO
in the Sentinel, is attracting great deal OF
attention, and the press appears to be per
picked in the extreme by the promises OF
the inventor and the ssnguine expecta-
tons of his friends. The secresy thrown
sound the invention gives an air of char
latanism to the whole thing. and naturally
arousss suspicion. 1t Is not the way with
genuine inventors who have hit upon an
| idea that will revolutionize the industrial
world to retain their secret so sedulously,
and at the same time advertise their mys-
ferrous discovery like quacks putting
patent medicine. 1t is said that the new
motor will. by pressure of $4,000 pounds
on the square inch, furnish power to drive
vast machinery at little expense. Fuel
will no longer be needed tor the generation
of steam, and great mills can,
with their busy looms and spindles,
be set up on Western prairie as we'll as be-
side an Eastern waterfall. In crntempla-
ting the changes which such an invention
will bring about, it is rather strange that
little has been said concerning one import
ant revolution which the new motor
would sssuredly effect. 1t would
give the key for the solution of the
great problem of aerial navigation. Thus
tar men have pursued the task of creating
machinery for traversing the easy, I'M
obstructed pathway ofthe air with COM
plete misconception of what is necessary
for success. They have been deluded by
the false theory that the air can
only be navigsted by something lighter
than itself, and they have wasted their in
genuity in trying to lift up great ships on
clumsy balloons. Such vast ana missnapen
structures could only be at the mercy OF
the variable atmosphere. Their very
bulk and levity would render them
absolutely worthless, and ships con-
structed on the balloon principle could be
nothing but great, costly toys. Whatever
navigates the air must not be lighter than |
air, but heavier than 1t, like the birds. The
eagle, the hawk, the condor lightly |
built to be sure, and their wings are
broad planes of support in floating
through the air, but they are heavy COM
pared to the medium In which they move,
and the secret of their ability to fly is simp-
ly found in their vast muscular power. The
rapidity of the stroke oftheir pinons Is what
sustains them. II a new motor which can
excel In small compass pressure Of $1,000 !

The Lafayette Journal, which is inclined
to regard Mr.. McIntire as the guiltless vic
tim of a conspiracy, is nevertheless anxious
to see the investigation into the manage
ment of the Deaf and Dumb Institution so
fairly conducted that there can be no shadow
of suspicious resting upon whatever decis-
ion is made. 1t says:
1t must be said, however, that it would look
much better If Mr.. McIntire were temporarily
suspended from the exercise of his office during
the progress of the investigation. The testl-
mony in the case must necessarily come in great
measure from present and former inmates OF the
institution, and in the position of superin-
tendent he certainly has the opportunity to
exercise a great influence over the testi-
mOny OF these witnesses, either by APP
peais or terrorism. We do not say that he has
done anything of the sort, and we have al
ready said, the case so far has developed no suf-
ficient foundation for the serious charges which
were at first so confidently made but he GER
tainly has a most excellent opportunity to do
Ii, and II would look much airer If the witnesses
were removed from he dominating influence of
the parties accused, and their active and jealous
adherents on the faculty OF the institution.
It is a good sign to see that the papers of
the state are watching this matter so
closely. The scrutiny of the whole state is
fastened upon the investigation, and the
conduct, pleadings and rulings of all con-
cerned in it are subjected to the most min
ute criticism.

A blow at the root OF the tree is struck By
the New York Journal of Commerce IN
regard 10 the stupendous swindles practiceo
on the government through the revenue
leskapes. It appears that leading mer-
chants of New York make no secret OF the
facc that they are heavy buyers of goods
which have been struggled into the market
without paying the lawful duties They
sell their silks and rich merchandise at low
rrices on the open allegation that they are
able to because they were obtained duty
rae. The Journal arraigns in particular
the bouse of 1T. B. Clsfiin IL Co., who not
only admit that they have been
large BUYERS of the Struggled goods,
h,,t odd to the admission the
startling assertion that they were advised to
make the purchase at so good bargain by
the collector of the port. When Mr.. Clsfiin
informed the custom house authorities OF
the offers made to him of the Illicit goods,
instead Of showing disapprobatiOn, they ad-
vised him 70 buy. The question is whether
an honest man can become party to these
dishonest transactions and lend his aid and
comfort to rsscality by purchasing the fruii
of it's successful work. If he can do that
and be good, law-abiding citizen and an
honest man, member of the church, why
can not another good and honest man make
a "tence" of his store and buy stolen goods
because he can by so doing sell cheap and
keep ahead of his competitors in business.
It is perfectly astonishing that such logic
as this should escape public condemnation
and the penal statutes of the land. So long
as struggled goods can find respectable sale,
a strong encouragement is held out to the
operators to continue and enlarge their bust
ness. aided it is to be feared, by the very officers
who are instructed to prevent their dishon-
est games. 1.-THE goods could not be sold at
all in the open market, or not solo without
peril to the purchaser. it would cut OF the
most tempting inducements to carry on
frauds of the revenue on large scale. The
point of the Journal of Commerce is so well
taken as to require no argument. Hhonesty
dwelt in the New York custom house, such
things could not be done at all.

One fact in regard to the politics OF the
country is very clear, namely. that Senator
Morton is now the most influential man in
the republican party, SO far as the dispose
ton of official patronage Is con-
cerned. 1t is not easy to under
stand whether the senator from Indiana
has bartered away any of his presidential
birth-right for the patronage which he has
received, but it is plain that the alliance
between him and the executive is complete.
lie now occupies the position near the
throne, which COnkling held couple of
years ago, and ConkliDg has sunk below
the surface of public affairs altogether.
Men will soon forget that there ever
was such a parsonage. The Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Times init
mates that Morton is thoroughly advised OF
how matters are progressing in the capital,
even when he is absent from it himself, as
he has numbers Of dependents continually
on the watch to report possible and probable
changes, and nothing important takes
nlsce in any of the bureaus
or departments without his knowledge.
If his presence is needed, he is always on
the ground at once. The Times man gives
a graphic, but somewhat irreverent, picture
of the senator. He says: "He came into
this city quietly last Saturday night.
Since that time, that bundle of bulldog
energy chained to paralytic legs has been
closely closeted with those in power, and
sthe result is that Morton has taken the best
slice out OF certain new appointments that
are to be made in the internal revenue
bureau and the interior department"
The Bohemian appears to be struck with the
same idea in regard to the subject OF Nor
toms appearance that prevails at his home:
"Morton has never looked better than on
his recent visit here. His pug nose has
gone up and assumed ashade more ola de-
stiant twist, while the color in his once sal
low cheeks shows that there is
some good blood yet left in him. he
rolls about town in new coupe,
drawn by a pair of bays. This change
from his custom when be is living here.
He then goes about in worn-out, crazy
Cooking close coupee that has long ago lost
every semblance of its original color or APP
4pearsnce. Upon the box was always
perched dsrkey in plain clothes. No liv-
ery for Morton. He affects, in this city of
sostentation and display, the sweet
democratic role of the people STYLE"
From which 1t would appear that ambition
il a good stimulant. 1t is common saying
among Indiana democrats that the hope of
the presidency is all that keeps Morton
alive, and some OF them are vexed to think
that such sensible man will persist in in
dulging in such a factoring delusion.

ATTEMPTED WIFEMURDER-
A Woman Assaulted by Her
Husband While Asleep.
The WOdld be Assassin Gives Him
self Up to the Police.

Yesterday morning, about half-past four
o'clock, a man, giving his name as Holiday,
rushed frantically into the station house,
and said that he had killed his wife for be-
still equal TO the emergency, officer Wohl-
heater, who was on duty at the Chiefs Of
fee, took the self-accused murderer down
stairs and locked him up in cell. Sub
seguent developments proved, however, that
the case was not so bad as at first stated.
Dr. Mccormick was called, and proceeding
to the house OF the woman, found her lying
in bed, with nine CHASTITY wounds upon her
head and face, and her left cheek bone
broken. The instrument used by the in
furiated husband was a small rock, with
jagged edges. The woman, upon being
questioned, stated substantially as follows /:
She is the wife OF Holiday, but owing to
his violent temper and general bad charac-
ter, has been unable TO live with him. AT
Weston, where she resided previous to COM
ing to Leavenworth, he had been arrested
for beating and maltreating her. At the
same time showing the TINES reporter a
letter from l.. X. Ringo, n justice of the
peace of Weston, stating that Halliday was
bad character, and warning people TO
look out for him. Last winter he made an
attempt upon her lite, and failing, drove
her and her children out of the house.
Night before last he came TO her room, on
the Third street alley, between Delaware
and Shawnee, but did not offer violence He
laid down in the hall opposite her door
until yesterday morning, shortly after four
O'Clock, when he entered, and gathering a
pillow tried to smother her. Failing in
that, he took a small stone, which he had
concealed in his pocket, and struck her on
the head repeatedly, breaking the left cheek
bone and fracturing the skull. The noise
of the struggle awakened Mrs. Lucy Payne,
a woman living in the lower part Of the
house, and several of the neighbors, who al
once rushed to the tragedy. In the mean
time Holiday had gone 10 the station house
and delivered himself up.
Holidays reason Tor his attack upon his
wife, is that he thinks she has been in
volved in an intrigue with an old man
named Amos Burrell. He swore out COM
plant against Burrell, but upon an exam
ination, nothing being proved against him,
he was discharged. Mrs. Lucy Payne SAYS
that she heard Holiday and companion,
named Smith, connecting plot to kill Mrs.
ii olliday, in case she refused TO live with
him HOLIDAY Both men are hard cases,
and bear blemished regulations.
The woman's wounds are very painful,
and fears are entertained that she cannot
recover. Holiday is still in confinement.
