A MEMPHIS INVENTION.
A Lightning Calculator for Congress
from DIR. j. W. Rogers, OF
this city.

From the Washington Chronicle Of
the twenty fifth instant we learn that
d.. J. w. Rogers, Of Memphis, on the
day before received permission OF Mr..
Adams to place in the cloak-rOom OF the
house of representatives, sD ingenious
lightning calculator, illustrating propo-
sition to call the yeas and nays, record
each, announce the vote and maj Irlty,
all within thirty seconds. The invention
is the work of J. H. Rogers, electrician
of the capitol, and consists Of telegraph
wires running from each members desk
to that OF the clerks, and when vote
is called each member, instead OF re-
sponding, simply touches key upon bis
desk, and the result is given upon sys-
tenn of dial plates, thus: One dial records
the yeas, another the nays, third the
full vote, and fourth indicates the ma
jority, while the tally Of each members
vote is made at the same time upon
prepared record. While planned some
what upon the system adopted by
France, it still far exceeds the French
| system in mechanical calculation and
