1t is easy to heat street car in winter, but very
hard not to poison the passengers with foul air at
the same time. A device has been patented by
which .red-hot ball weighing 100 pounds is put
into neatly made case, lined with some non-con-
ductor Of heat, and fitted with q small air.pipe
and register to give out the heat. 1t is said that
shot will heat car comfortably for two or three

in heating these metallic balls. The device scarce
ly seems practicable, but one of the Chicago
street railway companies will make an effort to in
troduce it this winter.

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1876-11-30

A GREAT CLAMoR has been raised by the
so-called Independent and the Democratic
press against President Grant He has
been denounced as guilty of almost every
crime in the calendar, and has been vilifed
without stint, but his hold upon the hearts
of the American people has never been
shaken. A few, influenced by continuous
clamor, have thought him careless and in
attentive to the duties of his Office, but
these were the exceptions to the general
rule. His conduct during the excitement
proceeding from the election, the cool,
calm and determined manner in which he
has discharged the delicate duties imposed
upon him, his correct Interpretation and
fearless application of the law as it exists
to each particular case as it has come be-
fore him remind the loyal men of th,.,
nation of the days when his army sat -fea
fore Vicksburg, quietly but steadily drove
back the rebel hordes upon Richmond, and
of the crowning scene when he received
the sword of the rebel general.in- chief at
Appomattox, and to-day President Grant
stands as highly before the country as he
did then or when he resisted the almost
reasonable acts of Andrew johnson. The
difference between then and now is that
then he was lauded as the successful mill
tary commander, who had crushed the
most gigantic rebellion the world ever saw;
now he is recognized as having displayed
the same great qualities as civil magIs-
trste that he then did as military COM
mander. While history will name Ulysses
S. Grant as one of the greatest of generals,
it will also place him high on the roll
among those who achieved tame in the dis
charge of civil functions.

BULGARIAN butchery has been outdone; the
infamous fortunes of the Inquisltion have been
surpassed; the horrors Of St. Bartholomew
Uyershadowed by Louisiana out-heroding

page so black as that which will be written of
the fiendish tortures inflicted upon the negro
Pirkston in Ouachita parish. Hewas tortured

Republican ticket. His wife was shot, man
gled and outraged because he wanted to vote
the Republican ticket. His little child was
stabbed to death and cut to pieces because he
wanted to vote the Republican ticket, and last

WHERE is JEFF. Davisl But few days ago
the old gentleman was seen landing from
vessel In the New York harbor. At the wharf
he mingled in the ever-restless moving throng
of the great metropolis, and was lost to public
view. Thirty hours after Gen. Comfy caught
a glimpse of him as he shot through Colum-
bus, Ohio, on the iron rail, and cried out,
"Jeff. Davis and Hendricks passed through
here yesterday going towards the setting sun.
1t looks bad, but believe the country is safe"
Since then seclusion, worse secluded, has
wrapt him, and his whereabouts are unknown.
SHED off to hold sweet communion with the
goblin of the cause which is called Lost.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1876-11-30

SOME one, who seems not to understand
that there are laws regulating the election
of the President and Vice President of the
United States, has proposed that Cows.
Hayes and Tilden, each with four friends,
shall meet and settle the question between
themselves as to which of the two Gov
errors is to be the next President The
author of this plan does not suggest what
power these gentlemen have in the prem
ises or how this shall determine the
matter. We expect from the number of
persons selected that it is contemplated
that the ten shall be divided into two
parties, and taking number of chips, cor
responding with the number of electors,
play freeze out poker until one man shall
have all the worries. If this plan is
adopted, we protest against John Morris
sey being one of Tilden's hackers, as it is
said he handles the cards ia suspicious
manner. The men who make this propo-
siton can hardly be serious. The ques-
ton of who is to be the next President
will be settled by counting the electoral
votes. Each State settles how the
votes in that State shall be counted,
and the Constitution of the United
States determines how the votes of
the electors shall be counted. In all
the States but Louisiana and Florida
the vote has already been counted and de-
clared. In these two States the legally
constituted canvassing boards are now en-
gagged in counting the votes in the manner
prescribed by the laws of these States, and
when the count is finished will declare the
result. When that is done the name ofthe
next President of the United States will be
officially known. Even now it is well
known that Rutherford B. Hayes has one
hundred and eighty five electoral votes,
though the official count in Louisiana and
Florida has not been finished. When the
result is officially announced the people of
the United States will see that the duly
elected candidate is properly inaugurated.
All the vaporing of Gov. Tilden's friends
will not affect the result. nor will there be
any trouble in regard to the Inauguration.
Ulysses S. Grant is President, and will be
until the 4th OF March next, and 1t lis part
of his duty to see that his successor is duly
inaugurated. He will discharge that duty,
as he has done every other that has devolved
upon him, without fear or favor, and to the
entire satisfaction of the people of the coun-
try. Everybody can rest easy.
