4 STEAM HORSE
Tho Invention OF a Cnlikorniau-A
Shallow Device
Nsta YnrI4 PI,rIs

The Invention OF q Cnliforniau-A
| Shallow Device
] ''"' New York Times.
| An ingenious Californian has invented = neu
| method Of employing steam as the motive porel
! Of street-cars. Tho task which le proposed tc
himEen i'll making this invention was = eimple
one, inasmuch as be did not intend to do away
with railway tracks nor to change the pattern oi
the atseet-ca:s now in use. What be tried to do
uas to devise locomotive which would not
frighten horses, and he fauces that be has fully
accomplished his purpose by building locomo-
tive IN Thas he regards as the likeness of a
horse. ~
Tne new steam horse resembles tho ordinary
strle Of animal go far ss it's head and shoulders
are concerned. There, however. its resemblance
abruptly ends. The iron animal is devoid Of
logs for which are substituted wheels. Just yisi-
bic st the foot OF au iron pe.ticoat- Where tho
hind quarters Of a wel+const1ucted horse ought
10 be, the inventive Californian has placed cab,
reminding one BY its appearance Of sedan
chair The steam horse is harnessed With cow
catcher, . headlight, and bell. but, being built
with immovable ears and no tail whatever, it ia
unable TO express lts emotions except By rha ur-
eqnlne process OF whlstliug.
That any intelligent man should for a moment
fancy that SO pEsposterous machine could i'm
pose upon even tie most stupid cart-horse, il
something wonderful. The inventor act,lal1y
believes that the average horse will mistake this
legless and tailless machine for animal Of h1s
own species. Now. 3 horse may not be much
more intelligent than q conscientious advocate
OF an trredeemabe paper currency, but be can-
not be lmposed upon BY any such shallow dey1co
as the Californian i stenm-hors He knows per-
fectly we'll that horses have Legs. and that they
DO not wear iron ethcoats. A horse With cow-
catcher would provoke hia acorn and conteupt
while he would undoubtedly regard horse with
biazinR headlight On his breast xnd bell

The Louisiana investigation yesterday
developed further facts of interest 5 how
ing why the colored people have aban-
doned the republican party so largely in
the South The misrule, the stealing of
school funds and all other funds tho car
pet baggers could get hold of, the failure
to punish crime, the winking at the muir
der of colorcd men,as every such murder
was of great political value to the rcpub-
lcan party-these and other causes were
set forth, the chief witness being colpred
men who had changed their politics.
Gen. Anderson, a member of the ret urn
ing board, also gave his testimony in a
manner satisfactory to the republicans
The Florida investigation continues as
does also the mandanus case before the
Supreme Court.

General Joe Shelby, ex-confederate, is
evidently in want of an office. Nothing
shor. of this .could have made him an
nounce himself as ready in advance to de-
fend any usurpation or revolution that
Grant might attempt. This is practically
what that rebel seems ready to do. Per
haps Joe Shelby hiss observed with ad-
miration how well Mosby gets along with
Grant, and he is ready also to wag his
tail when Grant pats him. We have a
deep-seated suspicion that General Joe
Shelby, ex-confederate, is a fraud.

"BUIL- DoZlNG,' during tie late
Campaign IN New England seems to have
reached high development. Challen-
ged for proof that "bull-dozing' gave p
900 votes in Connecticut the Hartford
Times promptly gives it: "We are in
formed that in almost every factory owned
by Republicans the workman were made
to understand that they must vote the
Republican ticket or else lose their places.
In Meriden employers stood at the polls
to see that their orders were obeyed. In
New Britain intimidation OF. this sort was
open and general; over POO Germans were
'bull-dozed' at Rockville, and the same is
alleged of Thompsonville, Thomaston
and other town. In the Norwich district
the Republican organ openly called upon
Republican mill-owners to control their
employees. Moreover, it is alleged that
these tactics were deliberately planned
and enforced by the Republican State
committee" After thisshowing the Time.

WASHINGTON, December lS-The
senate sub committee on privileges and
elections acting under the Edmunds re-
solution, examined Benjamin William
son, the alleged ineligible presidential
elector of New Jersey. Mr.. Williamson
testified that twenty-five years ago he was
appointed United States commissioner.
He had during that time made use of his
right as n commissioner but twice, and
had rever received any money through
the office. He had served seven years as
chancellor of New Jersey soncc his ap-
pointment as United States commissioner.
He had no idea that he was ineligible un-
til after he had been chosen an eector,
and as soon as he found the question of
his eligibility was raised he sent his re-
signation to Governor Bedle. Two wit
nesses, Governor Bedle and Secretary Of
State Kelsey, of New Jersey, are yet to
give testimony in this case. This COM
mittee will tomorrow take the testimony
of Charles Stifel, G. II. Shields and
Thomas Thorougman, of Missouri, in
the case of General ID. NJ. Frost, an al
legged ineligible elector of Missouri.

December 60, 1876.

Col. Forney in the Philadelphia Press
insists upon calling the Democrats "Con-
federdtes." We are at loss to know
why this is done by the gallant Colonel,
unless he wishes to dignity the late ad-
herents to the Lost Cause" and show
them that he appreciates them much more
highly than he did when he cast upon
their synpdthizcrs the stigma of
"rebei." If the Colonel is really sincere
in applying the name "Confederate" to
the Democracy and all those who voted
against Grantism, and Babcockery, and
Belknapery, one might think he would
feelsorry that so many lives had been fruit
lessly destroyed and so many thousands
Of millions of dollars lost in efforts which
he repeatedly declared had resulted in
annihilating the late rebellion since the
conquorers have shown themselves so de-
testible in single decade as to force ma
.iority of the people ofthe whole Union TO
vote in favor of resurrection OF the So
called "Confsderacy."
We don't agree with the Press. We
look upon the accessions to the Demo-
Tacy as prouder triumph for the lead
ers of that party than the Radicals can
boast of having achieved by arms. IL
will not do for Colonel Forney to thus
abuse party which was once his ideal
of great patriotic organization. In
stead OF the Democracy becoming Con
federates," as the Press intimates, the
"Confederates" with the exception of a
few such as Mosby and Longstreet have
become Democrats, to save their property
from being stolen or destroyed. But
what is more calling still to the Press and
its editor is that hundreds of thousands Of
Republicans that four years ago voted
against the Democrats in November
lastturned and voted for them. Sothat the
Democrats can boast OF having captured
as many votes from the Republicans as
from the late "Confederates," and having
a large majority of all the votes in the
country, and having fairly elected Tilden
and Hendricks President and Vice Presi-
dent, it matters very little what Col. For
ney may now call the party of Retrench-
ment and Reform. We hope he will
think better of the Democrats after they
inaugurate Mr.. Tilden, and he substi-
tutes the wisdom ofpolitieal economy for
the wanton waste and extravaganza that
has ruled at Washington for the last seven
or eight years and openly and honestly
admit, as its Republican neighbor, the
Ecening Telegraph, has done, that the
country is greatly indebted to the Demo
Gratis for the exposure of corruptions and
saving S30,000000 in the first year of
Democratic policy by the Lower House
Of Congress alone.

PROUD OF ITS CAPTIvEs.-The Demo-
cratic Party should be proud of the cap.
tlvcs il has made;since the most able and
trsthful of the Republican leaders have
been led into the fold of the Democracy.
And now we have to add the name of
Gen. Barlow as another of the witnesses
TO victory these able captives had en-
abled us to achieve. Judge Hoadley, Mr..
Julien, Park Goodwin, ex-Gov. Curtin.
and Charles Francis a dams, are only a
few of the many able and eloquent gen
tlemen who have abandoned Belknapery
tor the honest and victorious Democracy
They shall share our victory and re-
joice in the peace and harmony thai
shall follow the installation of Tilden or
the 4th of March.

Is IT NOT STRANGE that we hear of so
many prominent gentlemen on the Re
publican side saying that they believe
that Tilden is elected ;'nor is it strange
that we do not hear Of single proIni-
nent Democrat saying that Hayes is
elected. This is not strange because the
facts warrant the assertion that Tilden
is elected even by his opponents as it does
also by those who voted for him. The
evidence that three States were attempted
to be stolen by Returning Boards is con-
elusive.
