AFTER all it may be that the carl
cature of KEELY's motor, which ap-
peared in Harper'S, we believe, was a
truthful revelation, and that brace
of donkeys in the next room may fur
nish the secret power" that is con
sidered so wonderful. The frequent
exhibitions Of q small part of the ma
chine, without any explanation of its
principles, smacks very much of char
latanism, more especially when it is
remembered that the first announce
ment of the discovery was the organ
ization of joint stock company to
purchase the patent right. Vice-Ad-
miral WELLESLEY, commanding the
British war steamer Bellerophon, Wis
tied th rooms of Mr.. KEELy recently
and ,t.ted afterwards that he saw
nothing astonishing, and expressed
doubts a. to the fact and the value o.
the reputed discovery.

THE singular epidemic which year
or two ago affected the horses of the
country seems destined to be a great
affiiction to the human race. A dis
ease of the same type, and evidently
springing from the same causes. is
now spreading overthe country, and it
is not confined to the genus eQuuS, but
attacks all kinds of domestic animals.
Even the chickens have been affected
in many localities, and large numbers
of hogs and cows have died from it.
The disease is now reported as having
broken out in Tulare, California,
among the stock on Tule river, and is
Of fatal type. An effectual remedy
for this malady and a preventive are
of such Importance to mankind as to
deserve the attention of the scientific.

HITHERTO John Chinaman has been

HITHERTO John Chinaman has been
in the city of San Francisco confined
to certain locality. He now owns a
large amount of property on Dupont
street, between Clay and Broadway.
What was once the fashionable center
of the city is now packed with Chi
nese as thick as herrings In box and
the Chinese quarter is gradually wi
dening. Real estate along Dupont, in
the direction Of and almost to Cali
fornia street, is alreudy recorded in
the name of Mongolian owners. The
same process Is noticeable up toward
Stockton and down toward Kearney
streets. Still John is not happy. He
feels that his domain is q pent up
Utica, and he wants to burst his
bands and extend his territory. To
show that he means business he offers
to purchase Montgomery Block. .on the
corner of Montgomery and Washing
ton streets. The price asked is Sl50,000
and John has already offered Sl40, 900.
1t is probable the transfer will be
made and the Chinese become the
owners of a large frontage on the
Broadway of San Francisco.

OK the ground that they feel no In
terest In the election many voters will
not tomorrow go the polls. This is a
great mistake. Every parent-every
person--who has q child to educate is
directly interested In this election. If
Mr.. FITZGERALD Is elected Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction the peo-
pie will save over quarter of mil.
lion dollars; if Mr.. CARR Is elected
they will lose that amount, because
the school text books will he changed
and the change will take more than
two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars out of the pockets of parents. Ev-
cry school book ring in the State is
hard at work for CARR, and it has
lea ked out that If he is elected they
will use him to carry out their de-
signs on the people. Therefore we say
every parent is directly interested in
this election. The success Of ope man
means no change in school books, the
success of the other means change of
books and disorganization and demor-
aliZation in the schools. .

FOR REIC
A Pastoral Letter.

MONTREAL, October lSth.-A pasto-
raj letter from Bishop Baugett OIL the
Guibord affair was read from the pull
pit of the Catholic churches yesterday.
He dwelt on the rights of the church
with regard to cemeteries, and an
nounced that when the interment
takes place he will curse that portion
of the cemetery in which Guibord will
repose, thus preventing the defilement
of the soil in (which the faithful sleep.
He does not desire to treat the decis-
ion of the province with disrespect,
but will take this means to obviate
any improper consequences which
might follow this defiance Of the rules
of the church. 1t is generally under
stood that the burial will take place in
the latter part of this week. EXten-
sive preparations are beidg made for
the event.

THE "dry rot" in the business world
East of the Rocky Mountains seems
to grow more general with the lapse
of time. In every branch of business
in all the leading centres failures are
announced so frequently that we ought
to look for a stay OF the disease for
lack of material to work upon. Scores
of the largest and oldest mercantile
houses have "made assignments (as
they now call it,, and as necessary
consequence there can be no restora-
ton of confidence while failures are so
frequent. Though two years have
passed since the panic set in, and de-
spite the fact that the staple crops of
the country are exceptionally fine this
year, a return of prosperity seems more
distant than it did twenty-four months
ago. California need not fear any de-
crease in the Westward flow of popu-
lation as long as such depression exists
in the States.

Election OF State Superintendent.

The judicial election takes place to-
morrow. The only State officer to be
voted for is Superintendent of Public
Instruction. The candidates are o. P.
FITZGERALD, Democratic nominee,
and E. s. CARR, Republican nominee.
Both candidates are polished scholars
and worthy gentlemen. Both have
devoted many years of their life to
study and education. Mr.. FITzGER-
AID has State reputation as a sue
cessful practical educator. Mr.. CARR
is known as q student-a book worm
who has studied from Theoretical
standpoint, but has never grappled
with plain, practical facts. AS candi-
dates for State Superintendent there
is no comparison between the two
gentlemen. Mr. CARR is a man of no
practical experience, and his know
ledge of business habits is the vaguest
possible. He is fussy and old maidish,
and if elected would soon disorganiZe
every school in the State. Mr.. FITZ-
GERALD is practical and methodical.
He is thoroughly conversant with the
duties of State Superintendent. Ev-
cry department of the Office has re-
ceived his care and attention, and the
school system has been improved and
simplified by his assiduous care, his
careful study of its wants and his erau-
ication of errors. The bestendorsement
which Mr.. FITZGERALD can receive
is that of the teachers having charge
of the schools during his administra-
tion- and that endorsement he has al
most to man. The fact that he made
an able and successful Superintendent
Is evidence that he will again fill the
place with credit to himself and to the
satisfaction of the people.

To MEssRs. HoGE, CAssERLY, MAYNARD,
wAssERMANN AND OTHERS GENTLEMEN:
In response TO your letter, OF 10th inst. con.
cerning the charges Of sectarianism, illiher-
al ty and secessionism, which have been
made against me, permit me to sa that am
grateful for the opportunity 10 avow my In
nocence OF them all.
So far from being ''vioent sectarian," 1t
has ever been nv pride MS an Ame lean el l.
zen, that the Constitution OF the United
States guarantees freedom to all In the exer-
else OF their religion; and experience has
taught me that Ii Is folly 10 regard sect or
creed In estimating the goodness In men. 1t
isuron the rising generation, and the lib
must chiefly rely to harmonise the conflict
ing prejudices Of ma 'lonalitles and sections
peculiar to Cal form society; and '.chatity
for all, malice to none," should be the first
prec pt OF public instruction. II elected Su-
perlrlenden ] W III recognize neither patty,
sect or creed, in the functions OF that office,
and will exert myself to guard 20 School VS.
TEN against all encrOachments of political,
sectional or srctarian bias. In one respect
only, may be libc al In the estimation Of
some OF my fellow-citizenS. While l am
strongly In favor ~ extending facilities o all
irres pective OF race or color, deem 1t lneXpe-
dirnt TO change the present syst M, which
already provides seperate schools for colored
children.
Finally, / am not a secesslonist. The fol-
lowing resolutions in the Democratic plat
form express my views in relation to the
duty Of citizens TO the Government and TO
the country at large:
Res0lued, That the Government ofthe Unit
cd Seates Is the paramount government of
the country, and that the allegience due from
the citizens TO such Government is bind
ing and perpetual obligation, to be observed
with fidelity and good fatty.
Resoluei, That the questions involved in
the late rebellion have been practically set
tied by The war, and IL is the dutv If all TO

ferent sections ofthe country, and re-es tab

Renewing my thanks for the opportunity
to correct the erroneous statement which has
been Promulgated against me, / am gentle
