Tho Philsdslphia Times says number
Of distinguished gentlemen attended or
Saturday night private exhibition of the
Keeley motor at the inventors house, on
Ridge avenue. Among those present wert
Vice Admiral Wellesley and Captain Gore
Jones, of the Royal Navy; also Dr.. B. How.
ard Rand, the Distinguished professor o.
physics and chemistry In the Jefferson Col.
lege Of that city; William b. Rutherford,
Chief Engineer Of the United States Navy;
Evan Randolph, Of the firm Of Randolph &

Charles e. Sherman, attorney at law, from
Washington; Boyd Elliot, . mechanics

proprietor of the Inquirer, and a repre-.
sentative Of the Times, and several othera
connected with the Kelley Motor Company,

Mr.. Keeley showed to the satisfaction Of
all that he had the power Of producing in a

elements, very considerable elastic force,

square inch was indicated by the gauge
But as this force was not continuous in ia
action, as was shown by the fact OF the
gauge declining from 1850 pounds to 500
pounds in hall an hour, the suggestion was
significantly made by one Of the British
Naval officers. that possibly this force could
not be made constant, and therefore would
not b calculated to do actual "work." To
be sure Mr.. Keeley answers that as soon u

which IL promised BY the 10th inst, he will

enormous power, and, indeed, increase It
forty-fold II necessary; but this assurance
rests for ito fulfillmsnt on tho future, and
until that comes with fruition or it, failure
it would be best to suspend public judgment
and ray nothing which would tend either to
depreciats or enhance the merits of the

THE Democratic platform calls for
the destruction of the National Banks
without making any provision for
supplying their place. The natural
inference then must be that they de-
sire to return to the wildcat State
money Of old. National banking is
free to everybody. If these banks arc
making so much as the Democracy
say they are, why are they surrender
ing their circulation all over the coun-
try? 1t should be borne in mind that
not over one-seventh in amount of
the actual monied transactions of the
country are done by the actual pay
ment of money. Six-sevenths Of the
commercial transactions are done
through banks, and they cannot be
dispensed with. Democrats who de.
cried the issuing of greenbacks dur.
ing the war as unconstitutional, are
now asking that they be indefinitely
increased, when the pledged faith OF
the nation has been given that they
should never exceed $4OO,OOO,OOO. L
is IA direct blow aimed at the credit o
the nation. 1t can be nothing else bu
a disposition to destroy the countr,
by destroying its honor.

Monops. This year he is the candi-
date of the straight Democracy. This
is just as we always predicted Of that
new party. Republicans who were
fooled i'm that game, now see how corr

Taylor is also in fearful trouble. II
has been clearly proven upon him

The impudence of the Democratic
Central Committee of Mississippi i'm
declaring that Sin no part of the IN
ion does there prevail more perfect
peace or greater respect for the law,
or a greater desire to preserve order
than in Mississippi" is very sharply
accented by the Vicksburg Plaindeal.
er of the 1st. "Order," says the Plain
dealer, "reigns in Yazoo county, where
bands of armed men go prowling
through the country, some of them
carrying ropes, for what purpose the
committee knows full well. A great
desire is shown to preserve order
when the Sheriff. the highest law Of
ficer i'm the county, is fugitive from
his home, and is threatened with
death if he returns. 1t looks like a
perfect peace when respectable citi-
zens of Clinton are kept away from
their homes with the labor Of the year
ungathered in the fields. 1t looks like
peace when in the neighboring coun-
of Rankin a -hAnd- NG- sislst@ess- A..>.ss
marauders break up Sunday night
meeting of poor defenseless black
people, who, after having been dis
persed, and on their way to their cab
ms, are beaten and scourged like gal
ley slaves. All over the State black
men are harrassed and intimidated,
driven from their homes, and finding
in the swamps and canebrakes the
peace and freedom from disturbance
so blatantly announced by the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee. If this
be quiet and peace, let us welcome
anarchy and chaos, with the hope of
lettering our condition" And the
Pl0indealer is not "an outrage" again.
1t is Mississippi home paper, and
depends upon Mississippi prosperity
for its own prosperity. Such a paper
has the best of reasons for wishing
quiet and order and good repute to
the State. Its statement of things is
commended to the Northern dough-
face journals that cannot sufficiently
decry anything like statement of
the actual doings Of their hero friends
in the South.
