Gov. ROBINSON, of New York visited
that city yesterday, and was given q
public reception in the evening, in
Union square. In concluding his speech
on the occasion he said:
Although nominated and elected to my
present office by Democratic votes,
know no more sacred truth In our Gov
ernment or in the Democratic faith than
that which makes public officer from
the moment of his election the servant
of the whole people. To them, and not
to party only, am responsible for the
administration of my high and holy
trust N.....
1 do not forget that the path before us
is Swallowed by difficulty. 1 recognize
with sorrow the light regard for the most
solemn obligations of the Constitution,
which has become the curse of American
politics. cannot ignore the fraud and
corruption of the hour, which, passing
from the circle of small things, has at
asst laid hold upon the highest place in
the nation. We mus: recognize and meet
this evil. The pathway of fraudulent
elections is the highway to national
death. If the republic is TO endure, we
have looked for the last time upon the
Inauguration of a national Executive
who was never elected.
To remedy these evils and to sustain
the principles l have already stated are
the duty of all good citizens. Especial
ly will the Democratic party prove false
to its old traditions if it fail to labor to
this end. / can have no higher ambi-
ton as the Chief Magistrate of this great
State than in some small degree to assist
in SO noble work.

Cure for Diphlheria.

A correspondent of Victorian paper
writes: Should you or any Of your fam
lily be attacked with diphtheria be not
alarmed, as it is es silly and speedily cur
ed without doctor. When it was rag
ing in England few years ago, l ac-
companied DR.. Field on his rounds to
witless the so-called "wonderful cures"
he performed, while the patients of
others were dropping on all sides. The
remedy, to be 80 rapid, must be simple.
All he took with him was powder sui
phur and quill, and with these he cured
every patient without exception. He put
a teaspoonful of flower of birthstone into
a wine-glass of water, and stirred it with
his finger, instead of spoon, as the sui
phur does not readily amalgamate with
water. When the sulphur was well mix
ed be gaveit as a gargie, and in ten min
utes the patient was out of danger.
Birthstone kills every species of fungus
in man, beast and plant in few minutes.
Instead of splitting out the gargle he rec
omends the swallowing of it, In ex.
treme cases, in whichshe had been called
just in ths nick of time, when the fungus
was too.nearly closed to allow the gargl-
ing he blew the sulphur through quill
into the throat, and after the fungus had
shrank to allow OF it, then the gargling.
He never lost a patient from diphtheria
1fa patient cannot gargle, take a live
coal, put 1t on shovel and sprinkle a
spoonful or two of -four brimstone at q
time upon, let the sufferer inhale il hold
ing the head over it, and the fungus will
die. If plentifully used, the whole room
may be filed almost to suffocation; the
patient can walk about in it, inhalipg the
fumes, with doors and windows shut,
The mode Of fumigating room with
sulphur has often cured most violent at
tacks of cold in the head, chest, ETC.. at
any time and is recommended in case of
consumption and asthma.

TENT FOR TELEGRAPHLNG
FAC SMILES OF STEREOTYPE
PLATES

WASHINGTON, June ga patent has
just been granted to Loring Pickering,
one of the editors and proprietors of the
Evening Bulletin aud Morning Call,
newspapers of San Francisco, for me
thod of rapid telegraphing of fac-similes
of stereotyped plates. II is claimed that
by this process an entire page of news
paper can be transmitted by telegraph
in from fifteen to twenty minutes, deli
vering the copy directly from the instru,
nent In such form that it can be handed
Immediately to the printers. In other
words the copy will be a substantial re-
production of the original, except
that it may be given in a large-seized
letter If SO desired. The stereotype
plate requires DO preparation for the
purpose of Geographic transmission
other than the filing of all its depres-
sions or spaces between the faces of the
letters with non-conducting substance
which may be quickly applied, the faces
oftbe type being left clean by means of
an equally simple process.
The plate thus prepared is placed upon
4 a cylinder arranged to revolve rapidly so
as to present each successive letter to
I fingers attached to travelling frame. AS
tine cylinder bearing the plate revolves
| the frame gradually advances by the op-
eration of a screw, and thus each and ev-
cry line is successively presented to the
fingers or magnetic points already men
toned. Necessarily the circuit is open
when the points are passing over the
non-conducting surface, but as often as
the metal type presents itself TO said ting-
, ers the circuit is closed and the corres>
ponding magnetic points or pins at the
receiveing station make the record there
in the same letter as the original delinea-
ted In series of fine lines, either upon
chemically prepared or ordinary paper
fixed upon corresponding cylinder al
said receiving station.

A TEST CASE.

A practical case of considerable interest
has already arisen under the Presidents or
der prohibiting oflice-holders from taking
part in the management of party politics.
Hon. JAMES +. WILSON, who presided over
the Iowa Republican convention, is Gov
eminent director in the Union Pacific rail-
road He is in every sense of the term Il
Government officer, and an officer, too,
whose trust is of very high and RESPONSE
BILE character 1t is difficult to see, there
fore, how the President can avoid holding
Mr.. WILSON responsible for violation OF
the order. We cannot conceive of any cX-
cusc which could he offered on his behalfun-
less he should claim that he acted inadvcrt-
entity owing TO the recent promulgation OF
the order. The result of this test case will
be watched with interest, as an indication
of the degree of strictness with which the
rule is TO be construed and enforced.
National Republican., 1877-06-30
THE PRESIDENTS ORDER.

The New York Times of yesterday pub
llshed long communication from General
FRANCIS c. BARLOW, in which he takes the
ground that the Presidents order relating
to oilicc-holders neither can nor ought to be
enforced. The chief reason he assigns to
prove the impracticability Of enforcing the
order is that II cannot be done as long as
officers are appointed through the influence
OF Congressmen.
II seems to us that Gen. BARLOW has no
clear understanding Of this subject, for IL is
fundamental and essential element Of true
civil service reform that no officer Of the
General Government shall hereafter be an.
pointed through Congressional influence.
The Republican platform adopted at Gin
cinnati expressly declares that the best in
tercst Of the public service demands that
Senators and Representatives. should not die
tate appointments to Office" The Prcsi-
dents order was issued for the very purpose
oil carrying this principle of the platform
INTO eilect for there Is certainly no better
way of rendering the public officers of the
nation independent of political and partisan
services. II officers are prohibited from TAX
ing part in political management politicians
will no longer care TO dictate appointments
which the cannot use for s,liish purposes
Gen. BARLOW seems to have entirely over
looked the fact that by the terms of the
Republican platform the President is ex
pressly bound not TO permit Congress-
men TO have anything to do with appoint
inents. How, therefore, can they exert
an influence over officers who are not de-
pendent upon them for their places? In
issuing thcrcccnt order the President merely
acted upon the theory that the pledges
made by himself and both parties in the
campaign Of 1876 are binding upon him
In this he s right. II is his duty, as an
honest man, 10 cndcavor to carry out those
pledges. Owing TO the firm hold which the
old system has upon men now in public
life, the radical changes required
by the new system cannot be enforced with
out difficulty. The President will have TO
encounter prejudice, long. established Gus
toms of political life, and the self-interest
OF men who will dislike TO give up power
which the dispcnsation of patronage has
hitherto to give them. But he cannot stand
still on account Of these or any other OBJ
stacles, for II is impossible TO devise any
plan for real reform which would not de-
stroy large interests in the present system,
The Presidents order was evidently the
result of n thorough and philosophical
study Of this subject, and its ultimate sue.
cess in accomplishing the desired results
will, VIC doubt not, demonstrate it's wisdom
National Republican., 1877-06-30
FIREIpORKs on TIE FOURTH

The near approach Of the Fourth of July
is again causing much discussion as TO the
necessity Of adopting measures for cnectu-
ally suppressing the use of fireworks on that
day. 1t is u subject oi vast practical impor
tance, and deserves earnest consideration, in
order that public sentiment may he Gre
atcd which shall compel those in authority
| 10 take such action as will protect our lives
and save our property from destruction.
The noise, fire and bloodshed which have
heretofore generally accompanied the cele-
bration of the Fourth in large cities have
caused il to be looked forward to with dread
by most citizens instead of with that patri-
otic joy with which day so sacred in its
associations should be welcomed. The con-
sequences of the mode in which It is usually
celebrated are scarcely less terrible than
those Of war An invading army could in
one day scarcely do more damage than that
which needless boys and foolish men inilict
upon the country every year III the name OF
patriotism. Reliable statistics show that
during the last decade many thousands of
lives have been lost and many more
thousands of people have been injured by
the barbarous aud reckless use of fireworks.
Chinese fre-crackcrs alone were the cause
Of two fires within the last ten years in the
United States which destroyed 5000, 900
worth OF property. The aggregate oi the
bills which the people Of this country have
paid for all the losses resulting from fire.
woi Ks during the same period is estimated
at not less than $4,000 900, aside from the
vast sums which were paid for the destruc-
tive agents which wrought the mischief.
The evil has reached such magnitude
that prompt measures should be taken by
every municipal government to suppress it,
| asnp,inIIy Whom II ie pnnsidpreI that most
of the injury is done by small boys and
other irresponsible persons, who either do
not understand the injuries to which they
expose the lives and property Of citizens, OF
are 40 reckless or wicked as not to care for
the consequences Of their actions We hope
tina, the city Of Washington will take the
lead in extirpating this evil, and in showing
to tho country that 1t Is possible to celebrate
the day in sensible and patriotic why, and
without waging q cruel and destructiv,
warfare against property and human life.
