A CORRESPONDENT Of the Richmond
Dispatch recommends the nomination Of
General Fitz Leo for Governor Of Vir.
ginia, mainly onthe ground, aside from
his military record, that he ia man Of
business. The writer says that General
Malone will not do, because he was an
utter failure in the private business
which he undertook to manage, while
Major Daniel Is equally Objectionable, he
having had chief hand in demolishing
the old measure that offered any real help
to Richmond since the war, by which ia
meant the canal lease, acted on at the

THE visit of President Hayes 10 the

have a Significance whichis unmistakble,
1t is a sign that people Of both parties
wherever he moves, recognize him COR
daily as the President Of the whole
country. His speeches are models Of
compacLness and appropriateness, and the
country may well congratulate itself on
the possession of a Chief Magistrate
who always says the right thing at the
right time, and says it gracefully.

A Conference with Compositors

~
New York, June 29.-The Tribune has
been in negotiation for day or two with
its compositors for reduction from 40
cents to 40 cents per thousand ems, the
abolition Of "bogus" and one or two
minor points which brought them in con.
ilict with the rules Of the Union. This
evening at FIVE o'clock the whole force
struck without notice and new men
were called in, and by 0 o'clock they
had forty compositors at case. The pa.
per comes out in the morning with Ten
pages, and the foreman says he can get
along hereafter, although they will want
a few good printers. The striking prin.
ters still have hope that by the aid Of the
Union they can yet compel the Tribune
to accede to their terms. The Tribune
says, however, that 1t will not take back
the strikers under any circumstances, and
that it has no fears about getting through.

Curious steamboat.

A little steamboat has Just arrived in
New York from Baltimore which was
propelled the entire distance between the
two cities without wheels or screw. She
now lies at the Atlantic Basin, Brooklyn,
and will probably be exhibited in motion
before she leaves this city. She is called
the Alpha, and in. outward appearance
resembles the tug boats which ply in the
harbor. Her length ia 4S feet, beam ten
and half and depth about eight feet.
She is supplied with Sixteen.horse
power tubular boiler, which drives
pump. From the pump to the stern
and bow Of the vessel are two lines OF pipe
which strike the water about three feet
below the surface. The pump drives
through each pipe 2l.iuch stream,
which enters the water through an finch
nozzle. With 60 pounds Of steam the
pump makes $50 strokes a minute, each
stroke driving a stream into the onter
body Of water. The invention is the re.
suit of many years of study, and is as.
serted thatit it can be applied to ocean
steamships with succes. In moving
through the water there is no ripple
Sstern, and butslight displacement percep.
tible except at the bow. By shutting of the
discharge from the stern pipes and fore.
ing the water through the bow pipes the
boat is backed, aud by using one bow and
one slcrn pipe she can be turned in her
own length. The propelling power can
also be used to steer the boat, the nozzles
being used alternately as levers on the
principle Of the oar. The boat consumes
but quarter OF ton Of coal per day, and
is considered 10 be we'll adapted for use
on the canals. She is commanded by
Captain Cottrell.
